Chapter 569 Against The Creed ( 5 )
Phoebe was indeed struck by the explosion…
She was supposed to appear beside Nerissa but the Bronze Tier Bat had exploded on that side… Although she was able to protect herself, it at least delayed her from killing Nerissa.
It pushed her away and Nerissa had the time to get closer to Agatha.
Phoebe grunted after seeing two more Automatons beside Nerissa.
As for Luna, Phoebe had already forgotten about her since she believes that she'll die in just a few more seconds. After all, she was able to critically injure her and she also left the corruption seed in her body…
In ten or so seconds, the Corruption Seed would devour Luna and she would experience an extremely horrifying pain until she dies. Phoebe wanted to torture her since she was extremely angered by that stone she was holding.
There is no cure for this Corruption Seed once planted and it's something that even the Creed of Eiqehin wouldn't be able to stop…
Even if Celestial Beings have incredible vitality incomparable to other humans, they would still die if their main organs stopped functioning. It is one of the trump cards that she can only use once a day.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vincent shot his pistol and killed two of Phoebe's squad members. The bullets that he used were all +10 and has three attributes each. After being distracted by the four Celestials, Vincent was able to find an opportunity to shoot…
Since the Pistol itself has an accuracy attribute of over one hundred, he was confident that he wouldn't miss his target in a 100-meter range.
Each bullet he fired was ten times stronger than a Grand Magus' Mana Bullet.
After confirming his kill, he immediately ordered Agatha to help Nerissa. He then shifted his attention to Millie.
Millie will take over her position and kill the remaining members of the Creed together with the four other Celestials.
After making this arrangement, Vincent runs towards Luna.
"Luna… Can you hear me?"
She was in terrible condition… She was bleeding profusely and the chest where she was struck was turning black and it is expanding all over her body. He can also tell that Luna was in great pain seeing all her nerves bulge up.
She could barely look at Vincent after hearing his voice.
"You're going to be fine…" He whispered.
He pulled up a couple of High-Grade Health Recovery Potion +10 and poured it into Luna's body. With this level of potion, it doesn't have to be consumed and it will still work wonders.
However, Vincent frowned after seeing that it only slowed down Luna's suffering…
'What to do?!' Vincent gritted his teeth as he looked around his Interspatial Rings… After noticing that there are nothing there, he immediately switched to his System Inventory… His eyes lit up as he found an answer.
Without any hesitation, Vincent swiftly pulled out one of his precious cards…
[ One Breathe Healing Card ]
[ Description: A one-time use card that provides powerful healing to a target. As long as the target is still breathing, the card can restore its body to its perfect condition instantly. The card can only work on living beings. ]
Vincent triggered the card with his senses…
[ Are you sure you want to use the One Breathe Healing Card? ]
'Yes…'
[ Please select a target. ]
Vincent then focused on Luna and as soon as he selected her, the card in his hands shattered like glass and its pieces turned into hundreds of yellow lights before covering Luna's entire body.
Just like what the card said, Luna was instantly healed. The dark energy in her body retracted until it was gone and the hole in her chest was patched up immediately.
Only her leather armor wasn't repaired.
However, it didn't just end there. It seems that Vincent had underestimated this Healing Card.
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation of energy interrupted everyone…
The energy was so powerful that all the beasts and animals within 30 kilometers felt the scary energy and started moving away.
Phoebe was also attracted to this as she looked at Luna and Vincent… There was no way Luna would just be healed in an instant and get stronger at the same time.
She can easily guess that the man beside her did something to the Celestial…
'How come this Celestial feels so different… Is she a single-digit Celestial?' Phoebe mused as she considered her next move.
She was warned by her deity not to anger any of the single-digit Celestial and if possible, run away from them if she ever meets one.
'No… She's not a single digit…'
The Celestial in front of her was definitely not a single-digit Celestial a while ago when she clashed against her. It means that the man beside her must've used something to make her like that.
'Is it similar to a forbidden Hundred Breath technique? Is she only strong for a brief moment and dies after a hundred breaths?'
Phoebe heard about a few forbidden techniques that draw the life of their user. In exchange for their life force, they would temporarily obtain incredible power to kill their opponents. There are many types of these forbidden techniques and the Hundred Breath Realm was the most popular one.
In short, it should be a move that would only be used as a last resort.
However, Phoebe felt uneasy about the Celestial's temperament.
The Celestial wasn't in a hurry like she can maintain this power for a long time. It feels like she was even trying to get used to it as she clenched her fist and made a few punches in the air…
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Each punch from her seems effortless but the wind around her says otherwise… They can feel the power from each of those strikes.
It doesn't seem like she's using a forbidden technique that could only last for a hundred breaths.
Phoebe decided to ignore Nerissa and Agatha as she vanished from her spot and appeared behind Vincent.
This time she decided to target this variable so she can control the tide of the battle again…
