Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 146 Gift

The battle continued for over 20 minutes.

It wasn't because the fight was difficult for Turhan. As a matter of fact, he seemed to be enjoying the fight and was only releasing sufficient strength to barely suppress the three powerful members of the Clan.

As it seems, he was wary of Ludovic's Soul Attacks more than Evrim's Elemental Attacks and Tezcan's blazing sword.

"Soul Attacks are truly the most troublesome to deal with…" Turhan commented seriously as he stood in the middle of the training ground. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't simply ignore a technique that could bypass his physical and magical defense.

If a different Mana Arts Practitioner fought in his stead, there was no way they could ignore Ludovic's attacks unless they have Magic Tools capable of defending their soul or they have stronger soul force or aura than him.

"Tsk… So this is our limit, huh…" Tezcan muttered under his breath. He doesn't seem to mind being defeated like this.

The three were also half-kneeling as they have exhausted their Mana and Aura. Perhaps, they would have the energy to continue the battle for a few hours on a normal occasion. However, because of Turhan's multicasting, they have to be constantly wary of multiple Mana Arts flying on them and their energy only lasted for a bit over 20 minutes.

​ The other two only shook their heads in defeat as they didn't reply to Turhan's words. They then gathered their strength before leaving the main hall.

There was no point in continuing the battle. Although they can still pull up their trump cards, they were Magic Artifacts that should only be used in a life and death situation. It's not appropriate to use it here in such a way as they can't afford to use it here.

The other Swords and Guardians also thought the same and saved themselves from humiliation. They left the place with a sigh and remembered to get more incredible Magic Artifacts or Tools once they arrived at their new territory.

They were inspired by Turhan's battle style.

Apparently, during this battle, he wasn't extremely dominating and they even felt educated. Turhan doesn't appear invincible in their eyes as the three were able to land several Mana Arts only to be blocked by a powerful artifact that made him appear to be immune to magic!

No matter what Evrim and Tezcan did, this magic immunity can't be pierced or stopped at all.

It was certainly not Turhan's own Mana Arts but it was thanks to the protection of his Magic Artifact.

Since they were all using Magic Artifacts and Tools, no one could complain about him using such a cheat-like item. They can only blame themselves for not having such high-quality accessories.

Nevertheless, they also know that if Turhan had gone all out in the first few minutes of the battle, they will certainly die at his bombardment of Mana Arts…

In this battle, they learned what they are lacking and learned what kind of strength this man has been hiding.

***

Vincent heard the result of the battle from Rem and he wasn't too surprised about the three being defeated.

"You said that Sir Ludovic can use a technique capable of directly attacking the target's soul?"

Vincent asked curiously.

From the way Rem described it, it doesn't seem to be a technique similar to his Soul Pressure.

"That's correct… It doesn't seem to have come from his weapon so I'm thinking that it's a perk of someone at a 3-Star Aura Knight." Rem answered.

"That's is good to know… So he actually has Soul Techniques, huh… I wonder if I can learn it from him."

Vincent muttered.

Even though he is already a 3-Star Aura Knight, it doesn't mean that he already learned all kinds of techniques that a 3-Star can learn. Being 3-Star only means that his Soul Strength has already reached a certain level where he can create a Domain and Soul Pressure… Because of that, his Aura Resonance that he learned at 2-Star will be strengthened to the highest level.

This is the sign of a 3-Star Aura Knight. On the other hand, once he reached this level, he will be able to learn our Aura or Soul Techniques! Unfortunately, these techniques weren't easy to obtain because of how rare Aura Knights are. This is why aside from learning the default skills, Vincent no longer knows any other skills…

He can guess that Ludovic's special Soul Attack is a technique that he could learn as well… It would be even better if the man has Skill Book so he can just use his system to 'learn' it.

"Should I ask him?" Rem asked.

"Hmmm… That's possible… However, we have a guest right now. Let's talk about it later."

Vincent said as Rem looked at the door.

"Oh? Did you sense my arrival? That's odd… I'm sure I've hidden my presence to the best of my ability." The deep voice came from Professor Turhan behind the door.

Rem and Vincent didn't act surprised at his appearance.

Rem looked at Vincent and saw that the latter nodded. She then approached the door and spoke.

"Come in, Sir Turhan…" Rem invited the man as she opened the door for him.

"Please excuse my sudden intrusion… I just couldn't help but be curious after hearing what happened to your eyes. Anyway, how did you sense my presence back there."

Turhan doesn't seem to be wary of the two as he casually chatted with Vincent.

"Well, a blind man has their ways of sensing their surroundings." Vincent vaguely answered.

The Professor smiled after noticing how Vincent just avoided his question. Anyway, that was probably his secret so Turhan no longer asked about it.

"That's interesting… Right, I didn't come here for that… I've brought you a gift."

Turhan said as he pulled out a silver medallion from his jacket's inside pocket.

Of course, Vincent sees this but he can sense the item that has just suddenly appeared close to him. He can guess that Turhan has a Dimensional Storage Space like his box because of this.

"A gift? I wonder what's the occasion? I'm sure that this is the first time we've met." Vincent asked cautiously.

There was no way this man would just give a gift randomly.
