Because of the size of the metallic capsule or the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber, their group has to use the Avian Lion instead of the Vermillion Hawk to fit in.
Their number had also increased since aside from Calidia, Vincent brought Krusk and Yulia as well.
Krusk was really interested in the Celestials since they are connected to the Overseer. Furthermore, he is strong enough to protect himself while Yulia has to stay behind with Calidia in case something went wrong.
In any case, Yulia's Darkness Eye should be quite tough to deal with… She had actually tried using it on Rem and Tara. Although the effects didn't last very long, it was still alright since she only needed to buy some time for them to react and assist.
Of course, Professor Levent, the owner of this dungeon, was here as well. There was no way she would miss this event.
She also made several improvements to the Formation Art placed in the dungeon so she wanted to try and see how much improvement it had made.
Vincent observed everyone and confirmed that they are all in their position.
Rem and Tara were beside him while Yulia and Calidia is in a corner.
As for Professor Levent, she decided to stay near the exit or probably the portal connected to the outside. She seems to be worried that the being inside might try to escape…
"Alright, everyone… I'll start now."
Vincent said as he tried to open it the way he did with Tara's chamber. However, it didn't work just like before so he has to do plan B.
He poured his energy into his Astral Night Dagger and hit the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber with at least 50% of his strength…
Bang!
The collision between the two created a shockwave as they seem to be on par with each other. Vincent felt a bit numb in his hands but he just shook it off.
He didn't mind this uncomfortable feeling as he noticed that he managed to actually scratch the Chamber itself.
Soon, they heard the mechanical gears activating as everyone nervously looked at the capsule…
Whooshhh~
It didn't take that long before a puff of air was heard as the hatch opened up…
There, Vincent noticed a naked pale woman who seem to be smaller than Tara.
Her skin was too pale that Vincent might mistake the woman as made of metal or perhaps, she was already dead? It is such a shame that his vision is still quite blurry so he can't really say…
Perhaps, he has to consider touching her to confirm that she really has human skin and flesh.
As he was considering whether to touch her, the woman inside finally moved…
'She's alive… Good. Now, we have to confirm whether she's being controlled by a Xonid Creature or not…' Vincent thought as he immediately activated his cube and wore his armor. It's not a full-armor mode as he only controlled it to protect his torso…
He didn't want to appear like he really wanted to start a fight. He just wants to have enough protection in case the Celestial Being is aggressive.
"Tara… Rem… Can you tell if she's numbered?" Vincent asked as the Celestial Being seemed to be quite groggy from her very long sleep.
"I can see a number. It's Eighty…"
"Eight zero…"
Tara and Rem answered.
Vincent had hurried breathing after hearing this.
'Two digits!'
Just how strong is this Celestial Being?! If she was truly controlled by a Xonid Creature, they would certainly have a hard time defeating her. The only chance they have is when they decided to ambush her when hasn't fully adapted herself yet. Furthermore, they had to separate her from the Source Cube as well since once she transformed it into a protective suit, they would be in big trouble.
"Hi there… Are you alright? I'm Vincent… I apologize for waking you up…" Vincent said politely. He's dealing with a powerful Celestial Being after all. As much as possible, he didn't want to offend.
As he thought that he was being respectful enough, the Celestial Being looked at him with a frown as she pinched her nose…
"You're smelly… Get away from me."
"…"
"…"
The two Celestials, Professor Levent, Yulia, Krusk, and Calidia were speechless.
Vincent was stunned hearing this and he unconsciously stepped back. Memories of his past when he was still in his previous life emerged in his mind. He immediately sniffed his armpit but he actually smell quite good.
Furthermore, he had just taken his shower.
With his Nightbane Robe that protects him from dirt and various accessories that boost his charm and cleanliness, he knows that he wouldn't be smelly after just a trip from the Stellar Residence to this dungeon…
Vincent took a deep breath as he tried to remain calm.
"I apologize… Allow my friend to speak for me then…" Vincent said as he backed away. He decided to let Tara handle this matter. This way, he can also concentrate on his Magic Tools in case a battle broke out.
"Number 80… Can you still recall what happened to you?" Tara asked as she observed the woman in front of her.
Number 80 isn't that tall and her proportions were like those of teenagers. She also has short white hair which is quite unusual even for the other Celestial Beings.
If they do not know that she's a Celestial Being that is probably more than 400 years old, they would certainly treat her like a child.
The Celestial then looked at Tara curiously before she nodded her head.
"I clearly remember… Why aren't you killing this person?" Number 80 said while pointing at Vincent.
"What do you mean? Why would I kill him when he's helping me recover my strength?"
"What? Are you crazy?" Number 80 seem to be very shocked as she looked at Rem for confirmation.
Rem nodded to this and added, "Yes… I'm also getting help from him. Is there a problem with that?"
"Unbelievable… Can't you smell that stink coming from him? That's definitely the smell from this planet's guardian or deity or goddess or whatever they call it." The Celestial said as Vincent realized something from her words.
