Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 345 Kayser Tower

Millie knows that the Kayser Tower wasn't just designed to look like a Mage Tower. Although it is smaller than the ones made by the Black Tower Organization, she knows that all of the materials used to build this were items that Vincent had personally modified.

During these past two years, she already had a rough idea of Vincent's gift. Just like the others with gifts similar to Mystic Eyes or perhaps cultivation talents, Vincent also had one which is related to enhancement or modification techniques.

She wasn't exactly sure how it works but it seems that he can bring out the best of whatever item he was holding.

There was a time when she brought Vincent a Magic Artifact that she found inside a dungeon and it was supposedly a useless item. However, after Vincent took it with him for a while, the pendant that she found suddenly became brand new and its skills had somehow awakened.

When she first brought it to Cedric to be appraised, the latter only mentioned that the pendant has a cooling and refreshing aura making its wearer always comfortable no matter what the weather is.

But when Vincent returned the item to her, it was suddenly imbued with a skill called Crystal Nova and Frost Bite. That was the moment that she believed the rumors surrounding him.

"Kayser Tower… I wonder what kind of retaliation you can show us…" Millie muttered to herself as she covered her entire body with three layers of Mana Shield.

As a Grand Knight, she can use both Mana and her Life Energy to an advanced degree so putting three layers of Mana Shield is quite easy for her.

About twenty seconds after the announcement, Millie watched the top of the Kayser Tower glow with a purple light…

It was also noticed by the warships that have been trying to create a hole in the southern part of the city. After these people realized that they are gathering energy on top of the Kayser Tower, they could tell that it posed a threat to them so they quickly tried bombarding the city.

They wanted to break the protective barrier as quickly as possible!

They even started firing the Mana Cannons even if it wasn't fully charged yet just to increase the pressure on the barrier.

Unfortunately for them, the Kayser Tower didn't need to cast its attack for long…

After only ten seconds, the purple light reached its limit and exploded… The light spread like a wave as it formed another dome that covered the entire city.

"This is…" Millie felt something after the purple light exploded… It didn't just cover the airspace of the city but she somehow felt that even beneath the ground was protected by the purple light.

Traces of this purple energy linger around them for a moment before being dissipated by the Mana Shields they have activated.

It doesn't seem to have enough energy to harm them but it may cause slight dizziness if they weren't coated with their Mana.

Whom~

The projectiles being fired by the warships' artilleries suddenly stopped midair… Only the Mana Cannons were able to continue attacking.

However, it is not important, the projectiles stopped by the purple barrier suddenly started returning to the warships!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The warships didn't just watch these projectiles return as they vaporized them by their Mana Cannons midair and caused several explosions.

Thankfully, the returning projectiles were quite slow so they were able to react this quickly.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

However, the counterattack didn't end there… Several artilleries mounted on top of the city walls have been activated as well. There were about 50 of them pointing at the sky where the warships are! These artilleries were purchased from the Alchemist Union!

"Incredible… I didn't expect our Aerial Defense is this advanced…" Millie muttered after seeing the power of the purple dome and the appearance of their artilleries.

When they were building their defenses, she was only thinking of the Totemic Barbarians as their possible invaders.

She did not consider these warships at all. Obviously, Vincent was well-prepared and considered this possibility unlike her.

'I should help there…'

This time, Millie decided to get closer to the southern gate. The garrison brigade that will operate the artilleries might require some assistance so she wanted to go there as quickly as possible.

In any case, as a Grand Knight, she can certainly help if it came to the point that they needed some sort of protection.

She used her Shadow Blink Steps to the limit and noticed a few people with similar thoughts.

She saw Ceri moving with a similar movement technique and she seem to have come from the eastern gate. There is also Lar behind her who was using the Phase Boots gifted by Severin in order to step in the air and move with haste.

Finally, she saw Archon Thyrus flying through the air and moving in the same direction.

This man in his fifties had come from the First Black Tower as Ignacy's representative when the Kayser Tower has officially opened a few weeks ago.

He seem to have taken a liking to this city and decided to stay here for several more days.

Millie smiled after seeing this. It is good to know that they were all thinking the same thing and wanted to help.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The deafening barrage of the mounted artilleries caught Millie's attention again. She realized that the purple energy protection of the city can easily defend against any attacks from outside but it doesn't stop any of the attacks coming from their side.

Furthermore, she noticed that the artillery shells beings shot contained an immense amount of energy that she wasn't sure of. It was definitely not similar to the artillery shells used by the Barbarians when they started wreaking havoc and causing destruction in the southern part of the Tudo Kingdom.

In just a single volley of projectiles, three of the warships had taken heavy damage and started descending at an alarming rate! They were crashing to the ground!

'What? They couldn't even defend against that?' Millie was surprised. She was expecting a bit more from the attackers… At this rate, the battle might even be finished before she could arrive at the southern gate.

Nevertheless, as the three Warships were descending, she saw hundreds of magicians jumping out and gliding towards the city wall!
