Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Lancelot didn't immediately reply after hearing the Alliance Head's instruction.

After a moment of hesitation, he replied…

"Alliance Head, I think it's not necessary to get their help. They're merely some slaves and might drag us down. Their job in the Scarlet Dungeon is more important than this…"

"No need to hesitate, Lancelot. Just take at least 10 of them and they'll be useful in case the enemies have Celestial Beings as well. They could buy you some time."

"Then, I'll assure you that this mission will be successful. I'll take 10 slaves with me and kill the ones who dared to touch the martial artists of our alliance. Even if it's the Tower Lord, I will exact my revenge."

The Alliance Head nodded as he looked at the other five… He knows what they wanted to say so he immediately spoke up.

"We can't let you all leave our territory. I will allow one of you to accompany Lancelot…"

As soon as he said this, the other four Paragons immediately offered their help to Lancelot. Only one of them decided not to bother.

This person is Cromwell and he is the Alliance Head's first Disciple. He is also the only Paragon among his disciples and would rarely leave the headquarters…

Lancelot actually wanted Cromwell's help regarding this mission since he believes that Cromwell is the strongest among them. After all, Cromwell is receiving direct guidance from the Alliance Head unlike them…

Unfortunately, Cromwell didn't show his interest. Anyway, he can only accept the Twin Blade Master's help since he believes that he's the next most appropriate person for the task. Among all the Paragons, the Twin Blade Master has killed the most humans and had also genuinely killed seven Unnumbered Celestial Beings before.

He was even named War Slaughterer before he was accepted as a Paragon by the Alliance Head.

"Good choice, Old Lancelot… I heard that the disciple hiding in Nidite City is a Formation Art Expert… With my blade, I can break any formation arts she'll throw at us… This will be easy." Twin Blade Master said with a jovial tone after hearing Lancelot's decision.

The others can only shake their heads at this but didn't complain about Lancelot's decision.

The meeting finally ended and they can only wait for Lancelot's successful mission.

Soon, only the Alliance Head was left inside the Throne Hall. His eyes were closed and his thoughts were unknown. After a few seconds, his shadow suddenly started stretching again before it completely detached itself…

"Secretly follow Lancelot's group… Save the Paragons if they're in danger."

The shadow didn't answer but it swiftly left after hearing his instruction.

***

Outside the Throne Hall, the Twin Blade Master and Lancelot went straight to the Scarlet Dungeon…

The entrance of this dungeon is actually hidden inside one of the halls of the Headquarters, the Protector's Hall.

It was also guarded by several First Class Martial Artists in a very secretive manner. This place is normally used to accommodate Martial Artists that have made certain contributions to the alliance. This is a place of recreation and could even be a training hall.

The two Paragons entered a few rooms before arriving in a secret room with a dark hole in the middle. Without any hesitation, the two of them jump at the hole and felt their bodies warp for a moment before noticing the changes in their surroundings.

They have entered a cavern with glowing rubies lighting up the whole place.

The red light brought by these rubies was the reason this was named the Scarlet Dungeon.

The place looks eerie but the two Paragons were used to it.

A First Class Martial Artist immediately came to greet the two as soon as he realized that they were Paragons.

"We received instructions from the Alliance Head to take 10 Slaves…" Lancelot spoke after acknowledging the man's greeting.

"Understood, Paragon Lancelot. I can bring you to them right now. Do you want me to recommend the best slaves for you or would like to select them yourself?" The First Class Martial Artists offered his help immediately.

He doesn't need to confirm whether Lancelot is telling the truth that he was instructed by the Alliance Head. He knows his position well so he didn't dare to question him.

Lancelot thought for a moment before replying.

"I'd like to see them first…"

"Of course... Please follow me."

The man nodded as he brought the two to another tunnel where the slaves are working…

At the end of the tunnel, there is another cavern where the slaves are doing their job…

At the center of the cavern, one can easily see a huge red crystal about 30 meters in height. It may seem just like a humongous deposit of crystal but if you looked closely, there is actually a dark figure of a creature inside it.

It seems to have been frozen by red crystal. Lancelot and the Twin Blade Master weren't surprised at the sight of this unknown creature as they shifted their gaze at the female slaves.

About 300 Slaves were working together slowly chipping away the red crystals as if they wanted to uncover the creature inside. They weren't even using any sort of tools to do this and were only chipping it with their fingers or even teeth…

The First Class Martial Artists that were guarding the slaves couldn't come close to the crystal and could only watch at the sides forming a huge circle. They were even wearing some protective masks showing how dangerous it is to get closer.

Seeing that one of the "managers" arrived with the Paragons, those who are near immediately saluted.

"Oh… There are Numbered Slaves here! Good! Lancelot, choose that girl with crimson hair… She has Number 882 on her shoulder—No, wait, did I just see Number 294?" The Twin Blade Master asked in surprise.

Although he knows that Celestial Beings were kept here as slaves, he didn't expect that he could see a Celestial Being rated under 300 here.

The First Class Martial Artists beside them immediately answered.

"Yes, Paragon. The highest-rated Celestial Slave that we have here is Number 201… If you want to take 10 Celestial Slaves, I recommend all Numbered Celestials… However, I would suggest that you take three Unnumbered Celestials who have incredible talents…"
