Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent couldn't help but look at the Celestial Being's armor.

Her armor was definitely the Cryogenic Sleeping Chamber that had suddenly transformed to wrap around her body.

'Ah… Perhaps, that's the reason why it's called Origin Form?' Vincent recalled the name he read after he appraised it before.

[ Origin Form: Cryogenic Sleep Chamber ]

This is the name that he got when he appraised it a while ago. With that in mind, he wouldn't be surprised if there is an 'Armor Form' or even a 'Weapon Form'.

"Hmm… Incredible. All your things here are in great shape and they seem to be of the highest quality. I can feel how unnatural they are."

The Celestial Being commented.

Currently, the two of them are inside his cabin as he prepared his things before going out. It's still early in the morning and traveling now shouldn't be a problem.

'Ah… She noticed?'

Vincent was surprised but since this is a Celestial he's talking about, then it should only be natural for her to be incredible.

Anyway, he understands why she gave such praise since most of his things here are +5 items that haven't undergone any changes in their appearance yet. She probably expects poor-quality materials considering the way he lives here.

"Yeah… There are many good materials here in the forest." He answered.

"I see, are you only going to carry that bag with you?" The Celestial asked seeing his small backpack and the numerous +5 materials within the cabin.

She probably thought that he would bring more of these high-quality items with him.

"I only need some of my necessities. I brought some money with me anyway. These things here can be replaced with better ones."

The Celestial slightly nodded and no longer spoke as she waited for Vincent to prepare.

Suddenly, Vincent approached her and gave her a bag and set of clothes.

"You can't walk around with that armor. That's only for battle, right? Wear these clothes and this coat instead. They are from my grandfather and I washed them clean already. Don't worry."

As for the bag, it also contains a few clothes and dried fish in case they both got hungry.

"Thank you."

The Celestial said as she seem to plan to get dressed in front of him. Luckily, he noticed this immediately and left the room to allow her to change her clothes.

As soon as she comes out, her entire aura had completely changed. She wore a gray tunic and Raizen's simple overcoat on top.

"Where did your armor go?" Vincent could help but ask. He can no longer see her nanotech armor and she's not carrying any device that would seem like her transformed armor at all.

"I've hidden it." She replied.

Vincent can only accept this answer as she probably didn't want to reveal too much about her abilities.

"Alright, let's leave then. By the way, are you not hungry? I'm not in a hurry anyway. I can prepare a simple meal if you want."

"Don't worry about me. I can consume the surrounding mana if I'm hungry." She briefly answered while looking at him.

Well, the nutrients she'll absorb in mana are probably a lot better. Vincent envied this a little bit.

He wanted to learn this technique to satisfy his hunger in case of an emergency.

Unfortunately, this is probably a unique trait and only Celestial Beings are capable of doing this.

Soon, the two walked in the direction of the nearest city. If he would probably use the normal or relatively safe path, he would take five days to arrive there on foot. He would at most pass on a couple of villages where he could stopover.

However, if he decided to cross the Withered Mountain and survive the jungle. He would be able to arrive there in just two days.

'I'm also curious about that mountain. Now that there is someone who should be stronger than me, it should be fine to use that path instead.'

Vincent thought as he informed the Celestial about his plan. Luckily, she didn't mind his plans since they will only encounter some Savage Beasts. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

Although she has not fully recovered her strength, she should still be strong enough to deal with them.

Vincent smiled at this as he also wanted to see how Celestials fights.

'Finally, I'm leaving this place.' The young man gave one last look at the cabin where he lived for about six years.

He also glanced at the gravestone of his grandfather and gave a slight bow.

"Right, Miss Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine, you really have a long name. Can I just call you Nine?"

Vincent asked as he turned his head to his new companion.

As they stood closer, he realized that the Celestial is a bit taller than him. Since he's only 15 years old at 171 cm, he'll definitely grow taller than her pretty quickly.

"Nine? That would be disrespectful to the Single Numbers…"

"Single Numbers?" Vincent repeated.

'Ahh…'

He recalled that the numbers of the Numbered Celestial also define their strength. Perhaps, those Celestials with Single Numbers, or from One to Nine, are truly respectable and incredible Celestials that she wouldn't even dare to get their names as her nickname. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"My bad… How about Tara? Can I call you Tara?" Vincent suggested.

"Fine."

"Alright, Tara… Let's go!" Vincent announced as he lead the way to the Withered Mountain.

Luckily, she didn't ask the meaning of Tara and just accepted it.

'Although it means nine in another language, it's not like that language is existing in this world as well, right?' Vincent thought as he continued on his way.

Now that he has someone joining him on his journey, a pretty lady at that, he was quite spirited to start on their way.

'I wonder what the others are up to now.'

As he finally left his home, Vincent recalled his friends who went to the Primal Sword Sect. Depending on what would happen after he visits the Zemin Clan, he might pay a visit to that Sect and see how they are doing or if they can still remember him.

Meanwhile, Tara, who had just received a new name, quietly observed Vincent as she followed him from behind.
