Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 319 Collected

The large snakes were sneaking up behind the two and Vincent wasn't sure whether they already noticed it or not. Nevertheless, he decided to get a bit closer while hiding his Mana Fluctuations. This is done with the help of Shrouded Steps since he didn't really have a specific Mana Art that could hide his presence aside from this movement technique.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The wolves dropped one by one as Lar's group was able to easily kill them after separating them… Vincent also confirmed that the beasts were indeed Stoneback Wolves so aside from their tough hide, they didn't really have to worry about their speed…

As long as they could use their distance, they can certainly kill these weak creatures. If they decided to approach these wolves recklessly they would just suffer and might even be injured in the process.

"Awwoooo!"

The last wolf seems to be grieving about the death of his pack. Its eyes were red and they could tell that this wolf was about to launch its final attack… The amount of mana accumulating from its body was getting to a critical point after all.

"Don't approach it… Just use your Mana Blades!" Lar reminded. He really wanted to show his blade skills instead of just throwing some Mana Arts to kill this wolf.

However, as soon as he realized that the wolf they were fighting had an incredibly high physical defense, they can only resort to this combat style.

Getting closer will put too much danger on them. After all, no matter how skillful they are, they weren't made of steel and are still soft compared to this Stoneback Wolf.

Even if they weren't bitten by them, as long as they got slammed by these wolves, they would surely end up with broken bones…

As they were about to launch their final attack against the wolf, Ross and Kian finally felt the threatening aura behind them!

"Aaahhh! Myriad Snakes!" Mark shouted in panic as he jumped away!

Terrence did the same but he was a bit too late!

Two of the snakes were already about to bite his legs!

Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!

Suddenly, several throwing daggers hit the snakes sneaking up on them!

,m "Get away!"

"We'll help you!"

Ross and Kian arrived on time!

Unlike Mark and Terrence who were too focused on killing the wolves in their sight, these two were always observing their surroundings.

Well, they actually almost missed these snakes if they did not notice Vincent looking in this direction. Nevertheless, after they scanned the foliage with their senses, they were able to notice living creatures hiding there.

They were lucky that Vincent is in their field of vision and gave them an idea of where to search…

Ssssiii~

The snakes weren't harmed by the throwing daggers as they didn't put enough Mana in each of them. It was only enough to deter them a bit…

As the snakes realized that their sneak attacks failed, they decided to just launch a head-on attack on the nearest person…

***

Vincent smiled seeing the teamwork of these five… Although he wasn't sure how Ross and Kian were able to react quickly, it's good that they are keeping an eye on their teammates.

He almost acted just now to save the two but as soon as he noticed the mana-imbued daggers heading in the snakes' direction, he was able to stop himself in time.

Clang! Clang!

Ross and Kian charged at the snakes and found out that their scales were as if made of steel. They have to imbue their mana in each of their strikes to make significant damage.

With this in mind, their battle became a lot easier…

It only lasted about 10 minutes before their group ended the lives of the wolves and the snakes.

They then collected the Beast Cores in their bodies and kept them in a small pouch.

"It's a good start… Keep in mind that this forest is filled with Savage Beasts… You have to be wary of your surroundings and not put down your guards." Vincent reminded as he ordered them to continue moving forward…

They silently accepted Vincent's reminder as they heaved a sigh of relief for making their first battle successful.

This continued for two more hours as they battled against many other Savage Beasts. There were Silver Bears, Stone Salamanders, Ethereal Panthers, Infernal Apes, Brute Horned Beetles, and others…

As for the Beasts that can be consumed like Cinder Rabbits, Demon-Eyed Goats, Great Nose Boars, and others, they were just scared away to some other parts of the forest since killing them right now would be such a waste.

They only targeted the vicious beasts that would attack anyone on sight or those who might sneak on them during the night.

As soon as they reached the central area of the valley, their group saw Tara, Rem, and Luna chatting with each other.

Lar and the others couldn't help but gulp after seeing the moving lips of the three Celestial Beings… It is not every day that they could see such beauties talking together after all.

Vincent did not notice this as he used his Mana Sense to scan the surrounding area.

After a while, he couldn't stop himself from smiling as he realized how good this place was… They are actually on a huge plain surrounded by mountains. There is only one clear path without a mountain on the eastern side…

Although it is still filled with forest, once they cleared it and made a road there, it would be perfect… Of course, they still have to fix the terrain a bit but he has already prepared for it so it wouldn't be a huge problem.

"Lar, inform the others that they can already bring the airships here…" Vincent instructed.

Lar immediately nodded as he pulled out his communication crystal connected to the Avian Lion…

It didn't take long before they heard the engines of the airships and were covered by these vessels' shadows.

At this time, Vincent already went to the Celestial Beings and interrupted their chat to confirm the status of beasts in the surrounding area…

He then confirmed that the Magic Beasts were already killed and aside from obtaining their intact bodies, they also hauled the natural treasures these beasts have obtained over the years they ruled this land.
