Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent assessed the situation.

He\'s unsure whether the old man is saying the truth. He might just be acting like a perverted old man to hide his true intention.

"So, do you want to fight until one of us died?" Vincent asked ready to continue with their battle.

"Haha! Of course! But I wonder where did you get your confidence? Can\'t you tell that your tiny Celestial Being is no match for her?" The old man said as he gestured to the Celestial Being beside him.

"Rem, show them your real strength… Let\'s end this… Just hold back the Celestial for a moment. I\'m going to kill his contractor and free her from this innocent young man."

The old man said which confused Vincent for a moment.

\'Contract? Free her?\' Vincent frowned after hearing this.

Unfortunately, he doesn\'t have enough time to think about these things at all.

Suddenly, the poor and dirty black-haired Celestial emitted an imposing Aura as her hair suddenly turned silver!

"Vincent, she\'s exerting her Celestial Powers. I\'m not sure how much Celestial Power she possesses so we have to be careful." Tara reminded Vincent after seeing that the next fight against this Celestial is no longer just assessing one\'s strength.

This would now be a real battle with their life on the line!

If they are not careful, they might be the ones to suffer in this battle.

"Alright… Then let\'s give our everything in this round!" As soon as Vincent said this, Tara no longer hesitated as her body was suddenly covered with metallic gray and blue armor!

"W-what?! Celestial Armor! You have one?!"

The perverted old man exclaimed in shock. Though having a Celestial Weapon is said to be a lot better than armor, he knows how extremely important it is!

"Whatever! Rem, just be careful! You don\'t have to kill her and just delay the fight." The old man gave his advice again but this time, there is already a hint of worry.

He certainly did not expect that the woman she\'s targeting is not just a Celestial Being but someone with a Celestial Armor as well!

"I understand. I contain her for a few minutes."

As soon as everyone finished their preparation, the second round of battle finally started.

Tara intercepted Rem, the silver-haired Celestial, while Vincent backed away to get some distance from the old man.

Although he doesn\'t have any decent long-range skills, he noticed that the old man was too eager to get close to him which made him change his plan. Instead of just clashing with him mindlessly, Vincent wanted to find an opportunity to utilize his Silver Ruin Dagger.

Bam!

The old man missed Vincent and hit the ground with his fist. A shockwave followed that strike as Vincent circled around the old man to avoid getting disoriented by the wave.

Right now, Vincent can tell that this person\'s specialty is his incredible physique and the shockwave that dispels that Crush Attribute of his cane.

This shockwave is probably the gauntlet\'s special skill or perhaps, it is the old man\'s Mana Art.

Nevertheless, Vincent wasn\'t too worried since he knows that no matter what, the old man can still be wounded by his weapons.

Haa!

Vincent strode forward as he targeted the old man\'s back…

"You\'re too obvious! Using Shrouded Steps to target my back! Hmph!"

The old man\'s eyes glinted as he suddenly burst with power. This time, he completed ignored Vincent\'s Cane as he planned to hit him with his fist in exchange!

Vincent hesitated at this since he was unsure whether he could take the blow head-on.

"Tsk…" After following his instinct, Vincent jumped back to avoid the man\'s blow.

Whooooshh~

As soon as he avoided the straight punch from the old man, he felt like there was a vacuum accompanied by that strike as the wind suddenly shifted its direction…

"Haha… You noticed that you won\'t survive that attack, huh?" The old man wasn\'t disappointed after Vincent pulled back. Instead, he found Vincent quite amusing since he knows when to back down.

He had killed many arrogant Mana Practitioners because of the move he just made.

It was called Vacuum Punch and even an unprepared Master Magician would be critically injured from that strike if not dead.

It is a skill only the Magic Knights were capable of using.

"I guess you\'re not that strong as well. You\'ve been missing your punches several times now."

Vincent ridiculed the old man and it was quite effective after seeing the latter turn red in anger. Veins popped out on his head as he no longer spoke.

The old man pulled the dirty scarf wrapped around his neck as he threw it to Vincent…

"Hmph!" Vincent used his Shrouded Steps again to avoid the smelly scarf. Aside from that, he also felt that the scarf was actually a magic tool so he made sure not to make contact with it unless he was sure what it was.

Whoosh~

Vincent used this opportunity to pull out his Silver Ruin Dagger and threw it to the old man as well. However, unlike Vincent, this old man seems to have a lot of pride as he didn\'t dodge the dagger and even looked as if h wanted to catch it…

"Hmm?"

As Vincent was waiting for the dagger to pierce the old man\'s palm, he noticed that the scarf he just avoided was actually heading towards Tara!

At the moment, Tara wasn\'t using her Celestial Dagger to clash against Rem\'s Celestial Sword.

However, Tara was still able to fight against her since she could still deflect the sword from time to time.

"Tara! Be careful!"

This time, it was Vincent\'s turn to warn Tara.

He didn\'t wait for her to answer as he swiftly shifted his gaze to the old man.

"Aaaacck!"

As expected, the dagger\'s Pierce Attribute is so much better than the cane\'s Crush Attribute. It seems to be related to the old man\'s gauntlet type.

After seeing such an opportunity, Vincent appeared in front of the old man using his Shrouded Steps.

"I\'m now in front of you…" Vincent spoke coldly as he smash down his cane to hit the old man\'s head…

Though the latter managed to shift his head and only got hit on his shoulder again, it was still a critical strike.

Bam!

"Ahh! You! What\'s with that stick!"

It appears that the old man\'s defense has gone weaker as Vincent felt that the cane\'s Crush ability was taken completely by the old man!

It seems that Vincent removed the effects of the gauntlets with the piercing effect of his Silver Dagger!

Now, the old man can only rely on his incredible physique!
