Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 420 Fire

"Have they already died? Ahhh… N-no, they're still breathing…" Ayla was shocked as soon as she saw the Dragon Riders starting to fall…

It seems that someone used a forbidden technique and knocked them out all at once. She didn't see any elemental art, soul art, or weapons that were used to annihilate them so it was no wonder why she was so surprised.

"It must be Sir Thyrus' Tier 5 Mana Art… It's a peculiar ability… I heard it from Master Faviona."

Dianne said as she clenched her fist while looking at the falling Dragon Riders.

She can still feel that they are alive but the problem is that they all passed out including their mount. She feels like she really needs to improve herself to be useful in these times of war.

"Amazing… It looks more powerful than Master Turhan's Tier 5 Mana Art…"

"You probably shouldn't say that in front of him…"

"R-right… Of course…"

Ayla replied as she looked at the hundreds of people falling in the sky.

If they didn't use their Mana Protection or Magic Tools before they reach the ground to protect themselves, no matter how tough their bodies are, they would still die considering this height.

She then shifted her gaze to the Tower Master that they shot down using the Vermillion Hawk's Anti-Magician Shooter.

It is basically a modified version of Mana Cannon but instead of just firing a concentrated form of Mana into the enemy, Vincent seems to have modified it to only attack the cores of the targets. It is tiny cannon attached at the bottom of the vessel.

Whether it is their Beast Cores or Mana Cores, this cannon can easily bypass their defenses and get them destroyed.

Of course, this means that it is quite weak against buildings or other flying vessels. Nevertheless, Vincent didn't mind this since he knows that most of the enemies they will be fighting with will be magicians.

If they have to fight against a Celestial Being, another Alien Race, or even the Avatar, he will only flee using this flying ship or if he has Celestial Beings on his side, he would make use of them.

"Do you think we defeated the Tower Master?" Ayla asked…

"I don't think so… I saw him wearing some glittering armor. Those aren't just for decoration…"

"I guess so… But Vincent mentioned that this Shooter directly attacks someone's core, right?"

"That's true… Can you tell if there's any movement below?"

"I'm trying… But there's no reaction… I'm not sure if he escaped or perhaps died from the second shot."

Ayla replied as she waited for the dust to recede.

"Ugh… I guess we can't defeat him with this weapon, huh…"

She added after noticing a powerful fluctuation of mana below them. It seems that aside from disrupting the Tower Master, their attack didn't do much.

"Should we retreat?"

"I think so… We already delayed them anyway…"

As they were considering what to do, Calidia connected to their channel.

[ Ayla! You did great delaying the Tower Master! Vincent and the rest are already heading your way… Just keep the Tower Master busy for three more minutes. ]

"A-Alright… We will try…"

Ayla replied. She really had no other choice given the situation… Their Anti-Magician Shooter can only be used 10 times and they were certainly planning to use them all against this Tower Master.

Apparently, although Vincent instructed them to dock at the Tower, they were instructed by Calidia to help upon their arrival… Since this is an emergency, they decided to help…

They can only hope that everything will go well.

Vincent was hurrying to the northern side of the city after assisting Millie and Ceri with the Barbarian Kings…

The Sentient Book alone could not easily devour them, but with the help of the two Grand Knights, consuming these barbarians was possible. They only have to weaken them or heavily injure them with their swords and the Tome of Glutonny will do the rest.

The only problem is that he had used all pages of the Tome already so he can't use it in a few days or even weeks depending on how long these Barbarian Kings can last inside their Prison Pages.

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

Behind Vincent was Millie who was using her Shadow Blink Steps to follow him to the Northern Gate… She was obviously slower but she was keeping up with his speed the longer they travel.

'Shadow Blink Steps… It's only a Tier 1 Mana Art like my Shrouded Step but it looks more impressive.. I should probably learn this technique after this farce…' Vincent mused.

Anyway, he wasn't flying that high with his sword and was only above the houses or infrastructures of the city...

He then looked from afar and found the Vermillion Hawk bombarding someone with the Anti-Magician Shooter that he made for the flying vessel.

"Five hits and still not over? Just who are they fighting this time…" Vincent muttered as he knows how powerful this +10 weapon was.

A single hit from this gun can kill high-level Savage Beasts. A Magic Beast might take two to three shots… He hadn't tried it against Magicians since he didn't have a chance before…

If someone can defend against this weapon five times or more, perhaps they really have to call everyone to defeat that guy…

As he was nearing the northern gate, he felt a suffocating pressure that was coming from the Tower Master…

This pressure is not the same as Mana or Soul Pressure but a different type of energy…

"Not good…" Vincent felt the danger coming from the enemy as he hastens his speed. He also brought out a couple of defensive items in his system inventory to protect himself from this unknown field…

Suddenly, he heard a deafening roar and a pillar of flame rose up and burned the Vermillion Hawk!

The blue and red flame was so hot that the surroundings started melting away…

Vincent has to do something about this or everyone will be affected.

'Do I have something that can stop this?!' Vincent furiously searched his mind as he wasn't sure what can he do to suppress this Pillar of Flame…

He has many items in his inventory and in his interspatial ring so he was taking some time recalling all of them…

After a few seconds, his eyes lit up and recalled one of his Mythic Grade items.

'Right… I just need to put some water on it…'

Vincent thought as he pulled out the River Dragon's Left Eye that could Summon Flood!
