Novel Bin Chapter 302 Careless
Karsten opened his eyes and realized that he was looking at the ceiling of an unfamiliar room instead of the arena.
He was immediately alarmed as he looked at his surroundings. He seems to have been brought to the Tower\'s clinic…
He\'s alone and no doctors or other patients can be seen…
\'What happened?! Could it be…\' He immediately checked his necklace and confirmed that it is still there. He swiftly gathered his mana and activated its imbued Mana Art. This necklace is a magic tool that could cancel any illusions or mind attacks that are affecting him.
However, the necklace didn\'t find any of these in his surroundings as it failed to activate…
"N-no way… Did I really lose?"
Since this is not an illusion and he couldn\'t remember what happened, he can only think that Vincent knocked him out without being able to react at all.
He closed his eyes to try and recall what happened but he can only remember that after he shot the old ghost chasing him, he saw a wooden stick zooming in on his face.
\'That stick… Was that Vincent\'s cane?!\'
"Tsk… How come those two allowed that to happen?! Hey! Alpha, Beta! Where are you?" Karsten called out referring to the unnumbered Celestials working for him.
However, instead of the two Celestials answering him, a different person came in…
"You\'re already awake. That took quite a while. I didn\'t think that you have a terrible physical defense." Vincent said as he entered the clinic.
He\'s together with the tower\'s doctor who seemed to be planning to check Karsten\'s condition.
"You! What did you do to me? No, where are those two useless things?! I told them to beat you if---" Karsten immediately stopped speaking as he realized that he shouldn\'t reveal this matter.
"So you really ordered them to do that, huh… I initially thought they were just concerned about you and they want to take revenge…"
"So what? Those two are my pawns! Tsk... How are you still fine?!"
Karsten did not care anymore as he shouted in anger.
"Well, let\'s just say that they were not fast enough to stop me… In any case, give me the pseudo-legendary sword and the chance to enter the 15th Tower\'s Immortal Project…"
"This… I… I request a rematch! I was not defeated yet. I just fainted because of the weather."
"Pfft! Stop that… That\'s embarrassing, Senior Karsten. Your sister is listening behind the door."
As soon as Vincent said this, Elena entered the room as he looked at his pathetic brother. She seems to be very exhausted.
"Our father is furious. You had our Celestial arrested for attacking the disciple of the Tower Lord. It\'s even within the Tower? What are you thinking?" Elena said in a tired voice as she looked at Karsten in dismay.
To be honest, she was thinking that Vincent manipulated him to order the Celestials to attack him so he could use this opportunity to detain the two Celestials.
This is why she made a simple arrangement to confirm that Karsten truly did this.
First, she confirmed that Karsten is no longer affected by any form of magic and that Vincent could not use any Mind Attacks for a short period.
Then, Elena just needed to listen to their conversation to know the truth of this matter.
Unfortunately, she underestimated the foolishness of her brother. Now, the lives of the two Celestials are in the Tower Lord\'s hands!
If they wanted to take them back, they have to pay a sufficient price since they have attempted to kill Vincent, his seventh disciple!
If not for the Tower\'s Suppression ability, Vincent would\'ve probably died from their ambush…
"I…"
Karsten couldn\'t find the words he wanted to say as he wasn\'t expecting his sister would come here. He was too surprised about this sudden development.
"That\'s enough, brother. I\'ll handle the matters of the Celestials. Just give the reward you\'ve promised to Vincent."
As soon as she said this, she decided to leave the clinic… She didn\'t even wait for his brother\'s reply.
Needless to say, she was really disappointed with his brother this time.
Of course, Vincent didn\'t feel pity as he just looked at Karsten with a strange smile on his face.
"Alright… Take them…" Karsten finally gave up as he activated his interspatial ring…

After taking the Pseudo-Legendary Sword and the Immortal Stone from Karsten, Vincent went to meet his Master on the upper floor to discuss his plans with the medicines Severin and his team had created. He even brought a sample so he could allow Ignacy to appraise it.
However, it seems that his master is quite busy with the matters of the Barbarians.
He was informed by one of his master\'s servants that Ignacy has to personally appease the rampaging barbarians within the Tower.
\'Did it escalate already?\' Vincent mused. He knows that the five archons weren\'t a match against the 20 elite barbarians on the ground floor.
It\'s normal that Ignacy has to make his move since even if another batch of Archons arrived, the battle would certainly cause damage in the surroundings and many would be injured.
With this in mind, Vincent decided to check the situation…
"Hmm?"
Before he even arrived at the ground floor, he already heard a battle going on…
The numerous crowd was no more and only a few Purple-Robed Magicians were present. Behind these Archons was the Tower Lord who seemed to be observing the battle.
As soon as Vincent spread out his senses, he realized that the numbers of barbarians have declined… There were only 13 Barbarians left!
"They really went to fight? Crazy…" Vincent muttered after finding out that the barbarians are now surrounded.
There were only eight Totemic Barbarians and five Warlocks left as all the Barbarian Kings already died.
He didn\'t know what was going on in their minds but they are certainly on a suicide mission. There was no way they could get out of here alive!
\'Master Ignacy shouldn\'t be too troubled with the Totemic Barbarians using the Tower\'s formation… But what\'s going on?\' The atmosphere in this battle is not what he expected… The Archons are actually wary of the barbarians and were only defending…
Before he could continue investigating, Vincent heard his master\'s voice talking through his mind.
"Vincent. Be careful. The warlocks were capable of putting a strange curse on their target. The Tower was also unable to suppress those barbarians with unusual tattoos on them… This is the first time I encounter this so I\'m trying to see the limits of their abilities for now."
"Eh?" Vincent was surprised by this sudden revelation.
Nevertheless, he quickly recovered as he recalled that only Lola was aware of the strength and weaknesses of the Totemic Barbarians.
After all, unlike this careless Tower Lord, she sent a spy to the Tudor Kingdom!
