Chapter 491 Cloaked
As soon as the second wave of missiles started moving across the sky, the Werewolf Slayer Squad braced themselves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground started shaking followed by a terrifying wave of energy that can easily wipe out normal humans.
Even normal Mana Barriers wouldn't be enough to defend against this blast.
The Grand Knights gritted their teeth since aside from their Magic Tool, they only have a technique called Resplendent Force to defend their bodies from this level of attack.
"Ugh… Let's work together!" Ceri spoke to Millie as she reached out her hand.
Millie and Ceri then held their hands together as they were able to ease the pressure this way… The three men also did the same as they all worked together.
After almost a minute had passed, they were able to tell that they were no longer in danger and finally released their defensive magic tool…
Crack… Crack… Crack…
A few cracks were heard after the tool was deactivated before completely shattering…
The first thing that they immediately notice were the Paragons who were in a very bad state… Millie felt that they really had very bad timing on this incident.
These three had actually arrived to "help" them when their slayer squad just received news that the War Eagle Squadron is about to arrive.
Their awful timing led them to their current state and they can only blame themselves for showing their malice towards them.
Perhaps, if they were genuinely trying to help and didn't show the killing intent directed towards them, they might've warned them.
However, they became perfect bait for the werewolves and stalled them long enough until the five Third Generation Aircraft: Tempest had arrived.
"Tsk… The werewolves are still alive… So tenacious…" Millie groaned in frustration as she saw dozens of werewolves climbing out of the craters created by the explosions…
All of them are in terrible condition and most of them have missing limbs. It seems that they didn't care about their limbs as long as they manage to protect their heads…
"We should be able to clean them up this time, right?" Ceri asked as she glanced at the Celestials who were also itching to dive into battle.
As far as Ceri understands, these Celestial Beings were some sort of super soldiers that came from another world.
This is what Vincent hinted to them when they chatted about the Celestials before. After recalling this now, she can easily tell that these Celestials were indeed similar to the veteran soldiers she had seen before…
'Once the signal was given, they will surely take the frontlines… We just have to support them.' Ceri thought for a moment as there is nothing more satisfying than fighting together with a Celestial Being.
She believes that fighting with these beings would give her an opportunity to get stronger than ever.
Luna surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that the werewolves are all in a terrible state. The Paragons wouldn't be able to disrupt them as well and there are no other living beings around the area that may ambush them…
"Let's kill them all!"
Luna finally ordered.
Agatha also made her move and charged forward.s
Although Agatha is higher-ranked as a Celestial Being, she didn't mind taking orders from Luna since she's only new to the group.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
They immediately brought out their weapons no matter whether they are Celestials Weapons or not… With the current state of the werewolves, even a Unique-Grade weapon would surely end their lives.
Luna was the first one to get closer to the nearest werewolf and slashed its head off with her sword!
Its blood splattered everywhere but she didn't stop or even look at the corpse of the demihuman. There is nothing on her mind right now aside from eliminating these creatures.
Now that the mysterious energy protecting the werewolves had disappeared, they were no longer afraid as they revolved their Celestial Core to its limits…
They didn't care about the Celestial Energy they'll use just to kill the werewolves!
Agatha, on the other hand, uses two short blades that she recently acquired from the armory, to kill a werewolf that was already starting to regenerate its limbs…
Her short blades are both Pseudo-Legendary Items and aside from her, none of the Celestials had actually taken a liking to these weapons.
They were short and although they are Pseudo-Legendary Items, they don't have active skills that can be triggered as they heavily rely on their seven special attributes. They are Sharpness, Critical, Swiftness, Pierce, Rust Resistance, Self-Restoration, and Focus attribute.
The Celestial Beings already had enough of the boring but very durable and destructive Celestial Weapons… If they had a chance, they certainly wanted something that isn't just sharp but could also trigger some unique abilities… This is why no one bothered with these blades aside from Agatha who likes the classic type of weapons.
Anyway, since they weren't dealing against enemies that use almost indestructible Celestial Weapons, they should be able to enjoy using weapons that have some good active skills.
Soon, the five other Celestial Beings used their weapons skills.
One of them could cause frostbite with every injury her sword makes. Another one can trigger a bleeding effect that makes her surrounding so scary. The third one can poke a hole in the werewolves and blast them apart after leaving them on the ground.
It was like she was planting a bomb on their bodies and making them explode in their death.
The Grand Magus and Grand Knights saw these scenes as they held their weapons tightly… They were excited to join the battle and completely finish the enemies off!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the werewolves started recovering, they were able to somehow fight back as the battle between the two sides became more intense.
The First Squadron has already completed its operation and should be heading back to the city right now. They can only trust themselves to finish this battle.
"We can win this…"
Millie and the Slayer Squad believe that although the reinforcements should be arriving soon, it may still take a few hours. They can't let the werewolves recover at that time so although they are outnumbered, they should still be fine.
Only about 70 werewolves survived the bombardment of the aircraft squadron after all.
However, at this moment, another problem occurred, a group of cloaked men, who appear like cultists, suddenly appeared from afar and seem to be interested in this battle!
