Novel Bin Chapter 337 Escape ( 5 )
"Another Celestial… So it\'s like that…"
A man wearing a black robe and black emblem looks at the two who had just gotten out of the Tower. He is the Tower Master of the 15th Tower and currently the strongest Mana Practitioner in this city.
Since Vincent and Luna didn\'t get out quietly, he easily noticed them.
The explosion that followed after their escape created damage to his Tower and he wanted to tear them apart if he could.
This man then took a glance at the two other Celestial Beings who had caused some trouble outside his Tower...
"If our Tower has enough energy… All of you would be dead." The man said calmly as he assessed the situation. Their Black Tower isn\'t in the best condition already so the Celestials\' sudden attack revealed its flaws...
"Haha! Do you think that your Tower can really stop us?" Rem taunted as she looked at the floating magician above them.
This Tower Master can fly and is quite annoying to deal with. Furthermore, he has a very impressive technique to avoid getting killed.
Whoosh~
Tara didn\'t bother speaking at all as she pounced on the Tower Master and sliced him with her Nimble Mavis Blade.
Ssak!
The man was cut into two but just like before, this Tower Master was able to summon another him and cast a set of Mana Arts to annoy them.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Tara defended against the multiple fireballs heading her way as she looked at the corpse she just split into two.
The corpse that she just cut didn\'t disappear immediately. After it landed on the ground, it started rotting and after a few seconds, it melted to the ground.
It was like they were killing the clones of the Tower Master. Whenever they succeeded killing one, another clone would just appear like some endless illusion.
The two Celestial had never fought anyone with this ability before.
"I told you before… You can\'t kill me." The Tower Master said but he didn\'t seem to be happy about it… Tara and Rem know the reason why.
After all, he can\'t kill them either…
"Tara, we should leave now…" Rem whispered after noticing that Vincent and Luna were already moving away…
Their mission is already considered a success. They managed to create heavy damage on the exterior of the Tower forcing it into lockdown hoping that it would stop the damages from spreading to the interior of the Tower. However, this actually helped them as well in escaping.
To be honest, they were surprised to realize that the Tower wasn\'t as sturdy as Vincent told them. They expected to spend a huge amount of Celestial Energy just to destroy the defensive formation and the enhancements made on the walls of the tower.
However, instead of having a hard time, they were able to do this without spending too much of their energy. The only problem is that the Tower Master did not send some normal mana practitioners to stop them... They thought that they\'ll be fighting against some pushover Dragon Riders or Archmages first but instead, the Tower Lord came out himself and stopped them from causing more destruction to the Tower.
"I can\'t allow you to leave…"
The Tower Lord said as he finally decided to go all out…
The dark clouds above the Tower started moving… Arcs of lightning flash across the sky threatening to descend at any moment.
"Hmm? Do you think that those bolts of lightning will stop us? Dream on!" Rem taunted as she showed her back to the Tower Lord before dashing away…
Tara did the same but the Tower Lord didn\'t follow…
His hands remained pointing to the sky as if he was trying to communicate with it.
"As long as you\'re under this dark sky, you will not be able to escape…" The Tower Lord solemnly said as he pointed his finger to Vincent and Luna who were running to the eastern gate of the city where their Vermillion Hawk is currently waiting.
The sky started rumbling and just a few seconds after, a thick bolt of lightning came crashing into Vincent and Luna\'s spot!
The Tower Lord roared in laughter after seeing a successful strike…
However, his hands started trembling since he wasn\'t used to controlling the dark clouds according to his will. This is the first time he had tried this as no one had really dared to offend them to this degree.
"Incredible… I can probably only use it two more times before this body disintegrates… How marvelous…" The tower master muttered in amazement after feeling the feedback from commanding the dark clouds.
He was then planning to take the corpses of the two people he just hit with lightning but to his surprise, he saw their figures dashing away again!
It was as if they were cockroaches that wouldn\'t die!
\'Impossible!\'
The Tower Master knows that the lightning just now isn\'t anything that could be copied by Elemental Mana Practitioners. This lightning is the accumulation of negative energy nurtured by the aether clouds!
There is no Mana Barrier or Magic Artifact that could defend against it!
Even he knows that his real body wouldn\'t be able to stop it without suffering severe injuries…
No wonder Vincent was able to stay alive and escape the altar room! He was filled with mystery.
\'As expected of the Tower Lord\'s disciple… However, it\'s not over yet!\'
The man then continued hunting Vincent using lightning strikes…
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He\'s unsure how powerful Vincent\'s defenses are but there is definitely a limit to that. He would not believe that Vincent could defend against his attack forever!
The fifteenth Tower Master had to sacrifice three of his clones to continue summoning lightning strikes to crush Vincent…
He decided to focus on him since he knows that once he\'s dealt with, the Celestial Beings would no longer pose any problems. They would lose their purpose to fight…
However, he couldn\'t understand what was going on… Vincent was like an invincible man who would not die at all.
Vincent had taken over ten lightning strikes but aside from slowing down, he didn\'t stop at all!
The Tower Master looked at the traces of lightning strikes and knows that it was truly powerful… The paved roads had craters, the buildings were devastated, and there were even some unfortunate passers-by caught by the lightning strikes and were completely charred.
Looking at this scene, he knows that those bolts of lightning were real… However, Vincent was able to stop these lightning bolts without suffering any injuries at all…
"Monster..."
