Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

The Celestials under Joran were shocked as soon as they sensed the presence of their enemies.

They weren't automatons but real people! Two of them were even Celestial Beings!

They would probably consider retreating with all their might if the other two were also Celestials.

However, one of them is simply a Grand Knight and the other person who has a weird aura seems to be an Aura Knight.

Although they were also quite difficult to deal with, they shouldn't be as tough as the other Celestial Beings.

"The two of you, block the two Celestials. I'll handle the two knights… Eighty-Five, stay here with Joran… Stabilize his condition. That Crystal Tier Manipulator might have other Automatons hiding somewhere."

One of the Celestials spoke… She has a number on her neck showing the number Thirty-Six.

As for the two who were tasked to block Luna and Agatha, they were both unnumbered Celestials.

Vincent wasn't worried about Luna and Agatha since they only have to deal with a single Celestial each!

They would certainly deal with it very quickly… Furthermore, these two are already injured and shouldn't be in a good shape to fight the two double-digit Celestials.

Vincent squinted his eyes as soon as he sensed that the strongest Celestial was aiming for them…

'I see… You're planning to just buy some time… You're also thinking of eliminating the contractor of the two Celestials on our side. It was either me or Millie…' He immediately realized Celestial's plan.

It was a good strategy but he's not a simple Aura Knight either…

He already stored his Rifle inside his Inventory System and took out his Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane… It has been a while since he used this in battle so he didn't hesitate to use its mighty skills…

Soul Manifestation!

In a blink of an eye, a huge misty figure appeared in front of him… It has the image of his Grandfather Raizen and it was also holding a cane!

Whom~

As soon as it saw the Celestial charging at him, the manifested soul acted and attack the Celestial…

At first, the Celestial ignored this figure as she couldn't feel any pressure from it. In her mind, it seems more like an illusion…

This was why she just continued on her way and targeted Vincent, the one who summoned this figure…

The misty cane struck from above and she simply raised her arm… She's wearing a bracer and she believes that it's enough to block the illusion. She also used a bit of her Celestial Energy to cover her arm. Even if the attack was real, she believes in her equipment and her physical body to withstand it…

Bang!

To her surprise, the misty figure of an old man was able to attack her Soul! The cane didn't strike her bracer as she was hit directly by some sort of Soul Attack!

The Celestial trembled as she doesn't have a way to defend against such an attack. Unless she was brimming with Celestial Energy, it would be difficult for her to win against it!

As soon as Vincent stopped the movement of the Celestial, he didn't hesitate to continue… While maintaining his speed, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the Celestial.

This time, the bullets that he has was different. The Celestial can also feel this. It wasn't simply a piercing bullet but a magical one.

Click!

Vincent pulled the trigger and shot the Celestial multiple times.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

The Celestial didn't despair as she gritted her teeth in anger…

"Don't underestimate me, human!"

Suddenly, she covered her entire body with Celestial Energy. The bullets stopped in front of her but just like what she noticed, these bullets weren't piercing type…

As soon as the bullets hit something, they suddenly exploded and spread chaotic and decaying energy…

They were very familiar with this, Corruption!

Indeed, these are Vincent's bullets made of the Midnight Sea Pearls… He previously used these bullets against a swarm of insects and they are very effective.

As for the Celestial, she was obviously frightened as soon as she felt the familiar energy… There was no way she would mistake this… After all, Joran is another Corruption Energy user.

She immediately retreated but the Manifested Soul didn't allow that to happen…

Another strike from its cane came… It was faster and the Celestial was unable to dodge…

"Aaacckk! You'll regret this!"

She also felt the power of corruption weakening her body. She immediately circulated her Celestial Energy to stop it from spreading inside her body.

She looked at the old figure of a man that Vincent summoned as she calculated her next move…

Knowing that this misty figure wasn't an illusion but an abomination that can attack a person's soul, she decided to pull out the ring on her finger and directly crushed the gem embedded in it…

The gem turned into a blue mist and gathered in front of the Celestial.

Vincent had no idea what was happening but he knows that he can't just watch doing nothing… He continued firing his pistol aiming at the Celestial…

Clack… Clack... Clack…

It was suddenly blocked by a wall of water…

The bullets were unable to penetrate the water. This shocked Vincent for a moment. After all, it was only three inches thick of water. It shouldn't have the ability to stop his bullets…

He then realized that the Celestial at the back, who was healing Joran, had the time to use a Magic Tool to help her companion block his attack…

"Hmph!" Vincent stored his gun after emptying its magazine and was about to pull out another weapon.

However, the strongest enemy Celestial had finished her preparation. When his Grandpa's figure struck once again, the Celestial led the blue mist to block the attack…

This mist created by crushing a gem possessed an incredible amount of energy!

Boom!

A shockwave occurred interrupting everyone's movement for a moment… At the same time, Vincent realized that the Manifested Soul had actually disappeared along with the shockwave!

He wanted to stabilize his body for a bit but he felt a threatening aura aiming at his neck!

'Tsk…'

Vincent had no choice but to reveal his Sentient Armor!
