Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"What? He's blessed by one of the gods or goddesses?" Vincent asked in surprise. It would really make sense that he's difficult to deal with if that was the truth.

Vincent received a blessing as well and it was a huge help for him. His energy sensitivity had become crucial in various decisions that he had made before.

"I don't think I will be able to help you. I've only brought two of my Celestial Beings here." Vincent added as he also recalled that Joran has six Celestials now.

"It's not like like the team we've sent didn't bring Celestial Beings... It's just that they were all unnumbered. There were a total of three Celestials with them so they should provide some help… Furthermore, the three of them have three Diamond Tier Automatons and a couple of Crystal Tier Automatons each."

Vincent nodded in understanding. However, he was curious why they can't bring a Platinum Tier and decided to bring a couple of Crystal Tier automatons instead. Anyway, he didn't think it was too important so he just made a mental note for now.

Instead, he asked a different question. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"They can control multiple high-level Automatons at once? I heard from Ronan that he's already quite special since he can control multiple Silver Tier Automatons…"

"Yes… It's also because the Automatons in this tier are extremely capable. They can act accordingly with fewer instructions. The crude quality of lower tiers wasn't as flexible as the ones in the higher tier so they're normally difficult to control. Anyway, if you can help us, I'll simply ask you to guard the portal of the Dungeon to ensure that he wouldn't be able to escape." Vivian said as she immediately focused on the topic.

"Ugh… You guys are really suffering from the shortage of personnel."

"Haa~ That's true… Why do you think Faviona is called? It was to treat the people who were affected by corruption. Currently, she's the only one capable of treating these people."

Vincent's eyes widened after hearing this.

"Corruption? So the cause of all these problems is Joran?"

"In most of them, yes… However, it wasn't only Joran who has been blessed by the Deity of Corruptions. These people are also causing trouble so we can't concentrate our forces on Joran only." Vivian explained.

"That makes sense then… But do you think I can deal with Joran if he's capable of escaping from three Diamond Tier Manipulators?"

Vivian looked at him seriously after hearing his question before she solemnly nodded.

"Yes… I believe so… I've already heard a lot about you Seventh Disciple of Ignacy… Not only were you capable of contracting with Celestial Beings, but you've also tamed a Mythical Beast. If you're not special, I don't think anyone would."

Vivian then observed Vincent's expression and added.

"I don't think I can pay you anything of value at this point. I know that you're rich as well and you even have your own city with thousands of people… Just think of it as a mission to save humanity..." 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Vincent wryly smiled at this. He didn't really mind being paid money. However, he can say it since in a sense, he can easily earn money with his system skills.

Furthermore, he felt that he can make future trades with Star Garden Peak if he handles this case properly… If he gets an exclusive right to trade potions and other things to them, wouldn't that be the best compensation he could get?

However, to do that, he has to gain their trust. Of course, it doesn't mean that he has to work for free since they might think that he's some sort of a pushover…

He then thought of a different way to get easily compensated.

"Well, you can actually do something for me. I want to see the relics or whatever treasure was left behind by the Kayser Clan that made you think that we're related to the Celestial Beings… I want to see that Advanced Technology that you've mentioned."

Vincent requested.

"Hmmm… I guess there's no harm in doing that for you… However, we can do that after we deal with Joran, is that fine?"

As expected, there's no harm in making this request.

"Yes… Let me speak with Faviona first. As you know, I was also invited to the Main Peak…"

"Well, she can go first since she has patients that needed to be treated. Although the other Sages managed to stabilize the condition of those who were corrupted and weren't in immediate danger now, it's still better if she arrives early to ensure that there are no long-lasting effects in their bodies even if they got cured." Vivian explained.

"That's true…"

Vincent then called for the others and discussed with them what was happening.

He certainly wouldn't want Joran to succeed in his mission to let the aliens enter this world again so he can't help but agree to Vivian… After all, he will also be affected if they really descended.

He doesn't know how Joran would even do it but capturing or even killing him would surely stop him from doing whatever he needed to do. That's the easiest method of doing this so he didn't mind it.

"Joran? That same person who brought calamity to our village?!" Millie asked in surprise after hearing this name again.

It has been quite some time but she had never forgotten this name since they were the ones who opened their eyes about the existence of Celestials and powerful Magicians. It wasn't a good memory.

"That's right… It's him…"

"Then I want to join you. Is that alright?" Millie immediately said. Her eyes were filled with conviction and wouldn't take a no for an answer.

Vincent can only nod at this and allowed her to join.

Ceri, on the other hand, looked at Faviona and Dianne as she made a decision.

"Our two Alchemists need someone to accompany them. I'll be joining them to act as their bodyguard." Ceri announced.

As a Grand Knight, she felt that it was her duty to protect the "weak" alchemists so she decided to volunteer. This way, Millie won't feel guilty about leaving the two behind.

After making this arrangement, Vincent's group hurriedly left to deal with Joran.
