Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 171 A Glimpse Of The Secret

Silas who had seen everything from the start to its end already lost his initial excitement and wanted to silently flee.

Even as an Archmage, he has no skills to quickly and silently kill those twenty people at all. He may be strong enough to eliminate them but not so swiftly as that.

'Those people are crazier than I thought… This is bad…'

He just wanted to have the Runic Badger's Core since it would fit perfectly in his type of weapon.

After being suppressed by Captain Olus in front of many people, anger clouded his eyes, and wanted to take revenge! He no longer just wants to get the core but torture Vincent's group as well.

But now that he was able to see their ruthlessness, he was finally able to calm down and think properly.

However, before he could even flee, he was already blocked by one of Vincent's female knights!

He immediately glanced at the patrol guards that he bribed just now only to realize that they have already fallen to the ground.

'What kind of Mana Art is this?!'

He couldn't understand what was going on until he got knocked out.

Rem and Tara doesn't have any issues incapacitating them in a few seconds. Since Vincent could give them potions that could replenish their energy, they didn't mind expending a bit of strength to settle the matter quickly.

Rem then carried Silas to the dark alley and took most of his belongings.

Vincent made sure not to kill Silas since he still has the robe and emblem on his body.

Based on what Professor Turhan said, these two items have a secret ability to mark the people who had killed their wearer.

If Rem killed him just now, she would be marked by this magic and the Black Tower wouldn't hesitate to use all their efforts to hunt her down for the sake of their reputation.

In short, they just have to make sure not to kill him with their actions.

***

Soon, this incident was forgotten by Vincent's group as everything has been done very smoothly.

Their victims also do not possess any valuable items so Vincent quickly lost interest. Even Silas only has one item that caught his attention.

It was his shoes that allows him to step in the air… He previously used this to face the Runic Badger in the sky.

The problem with this is that one must use Wind Element to support its activation.

Obviously, it was useless to Vincent who has no idea how to convert his energy to an element. He can only give the shoes to Severin who seemed interested in it. Of course, he didn't immediately wear it as he wanted to clean it first…

As for Yulia, she wasn't too good with Wind Element and wanted to focus on her Darkness Eye.

Then, as the sky was already dark, they just found a decent inn before finally settling down and having their deserved rest.

***

'This guy is really mysterious… His weapons, his strong soul, his incredible senses, and even those two Celestial Beings that are following him…'

While lying on her bed, Yulia recalled everything that has happened today. She couldn't help but be impressed with Vincent again and again.

Aside from being blind, she was unable to replace any flaw in this young man.

A dejected smile appeared on her face as she recalled what her clan did to this talented young man… It was truly a bad move… If the Guardians weren't so rotten, their clan could've become even more powerful.

Anyway, it was no longer important as she took something out of her pocket.

It was the bloodstone that Vincent used to attract the Magic Beast…

Apparently, after she used her Darkness Eye, she also felt momentarily attracted to the Enchanted Bloodstone so she decided to borrow it from Vincent.

Now that it is in her hands, she realized that it could stimulate her Mystic Eye! This might actually help her cultivate the Darkness Eye.

"Hmm?"

As she was observing the Enchanted Bloodstone, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her. She quickly held the dagger under her pillow…

"Oh—Rem, you shouldn't surprise me like that."

Yulia heaved a sigh of relief after recognizing Rem's figure. She already sat up on her bed as she looked around and confirmed that it was only Rem and her within the room.

"I want to know more about the secret you learned about us Celestial Beings. The last thing that you haven't mentioned."

Rem seriously said as she sat on a wooden stool.

Yulia hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. Since she's no longer part of the Zemin Clan, she didn't mind sharing what she knows about Celestial Beings to a Celestial Being.

She had previously informed Rem of a few secrets that she knows. Since then, Rem would ask her a few questions about Celestial Armors, Weapons, Beasts, and Beings to confirm her memories…. There is only one thing Yulia hasn't shared yet.

"I'm not sure whether this is true or not… This is just a record I accidentally read within the Clan's vault." Yulia answered. She's unsure why Tara is not telling this to her but she decided not to dwell too much on it.

"It's fine…" Rem firmly replied.

"Very well… I read from a record that once a Celestial Being recovered a certain amount of strength or power within their bodies. They will be taken by the Overseer… I don't know who or what an Overseer was but that one seems to be the reason why all the Celestial Beings in the kingdom have limited strength. No, it can also be the reason why some Celestial Beings decided to just limit their strength to avoid the Overseer's detection."

Yulia said. She was clearly unsure about this topic and didn't think too much of it until she befriended Rem over the past few weeks.

Rem went silent for a while before asking, "Do you know what happened to the Celestial Beings taken by the Overseer?"

Unfortunately, Yulia can only shake her head not knowing the answer. Perhaps, not even the Clan Head can answer that since it appears to be a matter of Celestial Beings after all.
