Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 383 Fight

"What the—"

Vincent sat up from his bed as soon as he felt that their barrier was suddenly being pressured by an unknown force… It was subtle but it is definitely happening.

Since one of the barrier's formation cores is with him, he was able to control it a little even if he's not inside the Kayser Tower.

Vincent then spread his Mana Sense to the location where he felt the disturbance but he didn't notice anything. Aura Sense didn't work as well so he swiftly activated his Item Sense…

At this time, it was already too late as the barrier seem to have been breached already… Nevertheless, because the intruder only created a small hole, it was immediately repaired by the Formation's Auto-Recovery.

'Two people?' Vincent thought as he felt the gathering of magic tools above the city.

These two intruders were then blocked by the second barrier and this time, they wouldn't have an easier time.

Suddenly, Vincent's communication crystal lit up… It was from Calidia inside the command center of the Kayser Tower… It seems that this woman is working 24/7 inside the tower…

'I should tell her to take proper sleep…' Vincent mused as he answered the call.

"Sir Vincent… There was a bit of disturbance on our barrier. We're thinking that it could be a flying magic beast that tried to break our barrier… However, we didn't replace any traces of it. Should I send Rufia's team to investigate?" Calidia asked. Although this disturbance doesn't seem to be that important, she knows that she still has to report it to Vincent.

"There's no need for that… Prepare our artillery guns… We have intruders… Move silently and not alert the enemies…"

"Yes! Sir Vincent!"

Calidia was surprised for a moment but she immediately agreed. Her decision to inform Vincent was correct!

After ending the call, she informed Caesus about their plan. He then swiftly led a squad to ready the artilleries without any complaints. Caesus even felt excited to be part of this operation…

"Get ready! We will receive our orders soon!" Caesus shouted at the group of ten people preparing five artillery guns.

After they completed their preparation, Vincent then showed up beside them while looking at the sky.

They are currently at the eastern gate of the inner wall within the central city.

It wouldn't be surprising that Vincent is here but all of them were surprised by his silent appearance. They didn't feel any Mana Fluctuations until he got closer.

It was very impressive but also quite scary since he moves like a ghost.

"I'll trigger a flash at the barrier. Use it as a guide to shooting the intruders down… Ready?" Vincent suddenly spoke surprising Caesus and his squad.

"Y-yes! We're ready, Leader!"

"Good! Look up…"

Vincent said as he controlled the formation core to trigger a light to a specific spot on the barrier... The Mana Barrier doesn't really have this kind of function… It is only lighting up since Vincent is triggering a self-repair in that position.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, the citizens heard the familiar sound of artillery shells being fired. It is a sign that their city is under attack.

However, none of them panicked and only looked in the direction of the enemies… To their surprise, they seem to be shooting at a flying enemy…

None of them could see the target of the artillery so many of them guessed that it was just some flying beasts…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bombardment lasted for a minute more before it finally stopped and was completely forgotten by the citizens... Since there is no announcement from the tower, it could just be some form of live fire training from the Artillery Team.

None of them are aware that the garrison squad is now surrounding two Grand Magus that dared to enter their city without permission…

"This is so unexpected, we were both taken down by those artillery rounds… How scary…" Brycen, the Tower Lord's third disciple, said in surprise.

During the time they were defending themselves from the artillery rounds fired at them, they felt that a magician was actually disrupting their defenses… They were having a hard time maintaining their defenses and they were unable to properly show their skills as Penta-Casters.

It was as if they entered a field with chaotic mana…

"It's coming from that guy… From the description we received, I guess he's that Vincent…" Shane, the fourth disciple, replied with a bitter smile as he pointed at the young man who was staring at them with a curious gaze.

This young man doesn't emit any hostility at all and he only seems interested in their intruders… It was as if he knows that he was fully in control of the situation.

Well, they didn't expect that even with their Ethereal Phase Shift and Void Phase combined together, they can still be detected… It was really their loss this time.

It must be said that even the Tower Lord would not be able to do that if he's not holding his legendary staff.

'Should we continue testing him? We're already surrounded…' Brycen spoke to Shane using telepathy…

'Let's hear what he's about to say first…'

'Alright…'

The two then took a deep breath as they warily looked at the magicians looking at them. They weren't really injured when they were shot down… Even if their Mana Control was disrupted, they were still Grand Knights with an incredible physique.

Even if they don't use mana, they have life energy they can use and it can never be disrupted, unlike mana.

"Are you done planning?" Vincent suddenly spoke after the two ended their telepathy…

"Who are you?" Brycen asked like he didn't know that he was Vincent.

"I'm the owner of this land. Anyway, I'm not expecting a visitor that would enter my city that way… Can you just state your reason for coming here or do you want to be interrogated after beating you up?" Vincent asked with a sinister smile…

It seems that he was waiting for them to answer but suddenly Brycen and Shane felt a suffocating Soul Domain pressing down on them…

Vincent was not planning to discuss things with them at all. He was only bidding his time…

Suddenly, they saw the young man pull out his wooden cane.

The two of them heard several stories about this cane from the elders of the Black Tower. It was rumored that this cane was second only to the legendary staff of the Tower Lord!

"Good!"

Brycen and Shane felt excited after feeling some pressure coming from Vincent. It had been a while since they felt like this and they were looking forward to it!
