Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 537 Damaged

"Hmph… The short blade was already heavily damaged after destroying those expendable flying daggers… Weren't you planning to destroy her short blade using that method in the first place?" Nerissa commented.

She didn't seem to be afraid of the Celestials at all.

It was either because of her strength or because they were just bantering as friends.

Nevertheless, the duel was still interrupted because of her appearance so the two Celestials immediately apologized to them.

They also mentioned compensating them for the Magic Tools they have destroyed because of their duel.

Agatha and Luna accepted this apology after seeing Vincent nod at them.

As for the broken magic weapons, they weren't really feeling that it was a waste since Vincent had already changed their perception about these incredibly expensive and powerful weapons.

Nerissa then looked in Vincent's direction and showed a surprised expression. Her eyes went wide for a moment before squinting them as if she wanted to make sure that she can probably recognize Vincent.

Vincent didn't miss this as he nodded to her politely. He wasn't sure what she was thinking but it was better to show that he was an approachable kind of man.

As Nerissa walked closer, Vincent greeted her and introduced himself.

"I see… So you're with Alchemist Faviona…" Nerissa said with a smile as she glanced in Faviona's direction. The two may not know each other but they have heard of each other's name

Faviona is a Tier 5 Alchemist that the Star Garden Peak trusts while she's Sage Vivian's representative in many events

Well, Sage Vivian doesn't really like leaving the Eternal Sun Peak so Nerissa was the one that was always being sent out to handle matters outside this peak.

"About this duel, the Celestials promised to give us a Silver Horse Automaton after this duel so I'm looking forward to it..." Vincent said surprising Nerissa for a moment.

She didn't expect that Vincent would immediately ask for the payment.

"Of course… I will handle it for you… Aside from the Silver Horse, I can also give you a Mind Cultivation Method that will allow you to control Brass Tier up to Silver Tier Automatons." Nerissa replied with a smile.

"Really? I heard that only once we've contributed to the organization can we ask for this cultivation method." Vincent asked.

"That's right… I heard from Priam that you have supplied us with some high-grade quality potions. Furthermore, I was also thankful to you for accepting the duels that our Celestials requested. You can think of it as payment for the Pseudo-Legendary Items that were destroyed today and the Legendary Items that were heavily damaged because of this duel…"

Nerissa explained.

"Well, I will accept it then…"

"I will send these things to your residence later together with the Silver Horse Automaton that they promised…"

"I understand… However, I was curious why you were so surprised after seeing me… Can you tell me the reason why?" Vincent bravely asked. With his incredible eye sensitivity, he wouldn't mistake such detail so he knows that Nerissa was hiding something.

The latter smiled after hearing Vincent's question and replied.

"You have some semblance with Sage Vivian so I was a bit surprised… It's nothing, it's probably just a coincidence."

Vincent didn't buy that. It was certainly not a coincidence. He has a very handsome face after all. He also has short black hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and a height that is taller than his age. It means that he shouldn't look like just anyone…

He guessed that he really has some close semblance with the Sage Vivian and Nerissa noticed it quickly.

In the end, he decided to ask her to meet the Sage instead.

"You want to meet Sage Vivian?"

Nerissa repeated as she considered for a moment. However, just like what Vincent had expected, she still shook her head to deny his request.

"She's quite busy… But she can have the time to meet you tomorrow…"

Vincent didn't accept that.

"We are not going to stay here for long since we have to get to the Star Garden Peak… We will leave at dawn tomorrow. Can you tell her that Vincent Kayser is looking for her?"

As soon as he revealed his last name, it wasn't only Nerissa and Ronan who were surprised, but also the Manipulators inside the buildings who were listening to their conversation secretly.

"Y-you… What did you say your last name was?"

"Kayser… I'm Vincent Kayser." Vincent repeated.

Although he may not be related to Vivian, Vincent wanted to know the answer as quickly as possible.

"Is that your real name?"

"Yes…"

"Very well. Let me ask my teacher—I mean, Sage Vivian if she wanted to meet you. For now, please return to your residence so I can tell her that you're waiting there."

"Alright…"

Vincent agreed with this arrangement.

In any case, the duel is already done and even though he wanted to appraise the Crystal Tier Automaton that Nerissa was controlling, he felt that it wasn't really important at the moment.

"Very well, I'll guide them back to their residence and you can head to the Sage immediately to inform her about the situation." Ronan volunteered as he escorted Vincent's group.

As soon as Vincent's group left, the Manipulators who had completed their training started coming out as they headed towards the arena…

They can still feel the remnant Celestial Energy around the stage and it was quite exciting for them.

Suddenly, one of the practitioners noticed something off about the Crystal Tier Automaton that blocked Agatha's blade…

The Automaton had actually remained unmoving after it was struck by Agatha.

"Look… The turtle's shell was damaged!"

As soon as one of them noticed this, everyone started looking at it confirming the former's claim.

"Y-you're right!"

"It was really damaged… Just what kind of weapon was that?"

"Look… The broken blade was still here. Can we try and appraise it?"

About 30 Manipulators of Automatons were gathered at the stage looking at the broken blade…

As for Nerissa, she couldn't help but be curious about this as well since the Crystal Tier Automaton was indeed damaged.

This is an extremely rare event considering that the materials used to make this automaton were ores that came from outer space!
