Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 125 Break



"It\'s been a while…" Vincent said as he approached the two.

As much as he wanted to ask what they have been up to ever since they left him in that forest, they do not have much time since it\'s true that another batch of Barbarians might be planning to continue their invasion.

Furthermore, Rem and Tara weren\'t in a good condition as well.

Even though they consumed his +9 potions with traces of energy that could recover their celestial powers, they would probably need a lot more than that.

Anyway, Rem just gave a smile and explained what happened to them when they left.

"I\'m sorry for leaving you just like that. It was dangerous at that time since there was a Celestial Beast that got interested in the White Tiger… It even issued an order to those monkeys to capture it. During that brief moment, we were thinking of just hiding our identities to avoid being targeted but it somehow noticed our presence. We have to leave you so you don\'t get implicated in the battle."

Rem explained which made Vincent confused.

He initially thought that they were the ones who were chasing the Celestial Beast and not the other way around!

"Does it hunt Celestial Beings?" Vincent asked doubtfully. He heard the news about the matters regarding the Celestial Mountain as well.

As far as he knows, the news reported that the Beast was being chased by two Celestial Beings and fled to its home at the Celestial Mountain.

It had alarmed various sects and organizations to the point that they sent their powerhouses to try and capture the Celestial Beast but it seems that it was not easy to enter that place and could only guard the surroundings for some time.

Even some members of the Rebel Army were even reported to have been present there.

"You could say so… The Celestial Beasts can eat the bodies of the Celestial Beings like us for nourishment. However, it is quite similar to us as well. The beast also has something that can be useful to us." Rem answered as she slowly stood up.

Tara did the same as she looked at Vincent with a tired smile on her face. It seems that they have truly overdone themselves in this battle.

"I guess you both needed to rest… Let\'s go… There were horses already that were prepared."

Vincent said as they joined the Zemin Clan\'s group after picking up the cane that he threw away a moment ago.

"Lady Yulia, are you returning to the Arms City or the Third Camp?" Vincent asked.

"No, we will be returning to the Clan\'s territory. Our clan has suffered enough and this should be more than enough to show our sincerity." Yulia said as the other elders including Lesley glanced at her.

It seems that she didn\'t discuss it with them and only informed them now as well. Nevertheless, they indeed deserve to take a break in this battle considering that an Adept Mage was heavily injured in their ranks and two Arch Knights died as well.

Although they have killed several Barbarians and numerous rebels, the deaths of their elites had certainly weakened the Zemin Clan\'s young forces. Because of that, none of them rejected the idea as they all head to the nearest town.

Vincent could only sigh as he decided to follow them. To be honest, he was thinking about whether they could actually reclaim the land that was previously taken to them by the Barbarians. He was hoping that he would be able to see the Star Garden Sect ruins this way.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the craziness of the Rebel Army as they dared to work together with the Barbarians. They would certainly lose a lot of supporters because of this. After all, some of the powerful clans and organizations that were assisting them had previously fought against the Barbarians as well.

They do not like these outsiders who had killed their relatives and friends.

\'Haa~ I guess it doesn\'t matter to them, huh…\' Vincent mused and he could only sigh about it. He was also thinking that the reason why the Rebels started helping the barbarians was to create chaos in this region.

In that way, the Royal Army would be forced to be sent out to subjugate the barbarians and greatly weaken the defense of the capital.

Once that happened, Grand Knight France would surely not miss such an opportunity.

Of course, since Vincent thought that they were just baiting to lure them out, the palace must have thought of that as well.

\'Ugh… Whatever… They could deal with this. What\'s important is my current strength. I\'m still too weak.\' Vincent thought as he revolved his Pseudo-Celestial Energy to try and erase that lingering sensation on his neck.

His throat and the back of his neck were previously grabbed by that vicious Celestial and although he\'s no longer feeling any pain from it, he can still feel her hands for some reason.

\'Ugh…\'

Vincent was afraid that it created a mental trauma for him as he tried to immerse himself in his mysterious core.

Right now, Vincent is actually riding a horse but the one holding the reins was Tara while Rem was following behind.

"Hmm?"

"Vincent?"

Tara and Rem suddenly felt something as soon as Vincent openly circulated his Pseudo Celestial Energy in his Synthetic Celestial Core.

Although it wasn\'t exactly like theirs, it has some vague similarities in how it affects the surroundings.

"No wonder you were targeted by that strong Celestial. Is she thinking of opening you up?"

"Huh?"

Tara\'s mutterings didn\'t escape Vincent\'s ears since he\'s basically just behind her.

Vincent finally recalled the changes in his core.

This is indeed something that has occurred while these two were away so they have no idea about the upgrade made by his system. No, it wasn\'t really made by the system for him but it assisted him by mutating his core to save his life when he consumed that Mana Upheaval Potion.

During that time, the increase in his Mana Capacity was too much for what his body could handle.

Anyway, none of the two Celestials felt this change until he circulated his energy…

"Your Mana felt different just now. What did you do?" Tara asked curiously.

"It\'s a long story. But my core somehow mutated…" Vincent replied as he didn\'t explain too much. There are also many ears right now.

After a while, their group finally arrived in a small town. It is a town at the very edge of the Jung Clan\'s territory.

"We will rest here for today… I already sent a message to General Yves that you\'ve joined us, Vincent. I also received news from him that the Celestial Beings that were supposedly overseeing the war had been taken down by unknown Celestial Beings. It was no wonder why Marin dared to attack you without caring about the consequences of breaking the rules. She clearly knows that once she returned to the Duke\'s side, no one could harm her."

Yulia added. She has been quite depressed by the fact that the Celestial Being who arrived on their side turned out to be quite evil.

This is why she had the General explain why no Celestial Being assisted them when Marin started causing a ruckus.

It\'s not a small matter after all.

Vincent wryly smiled after seeing her pouting like that and could only thank her for informing him.

"I can finally rest…" Vincent said as he entered his room. Their group rented a couple of small inns to get some rest.

Of course, Vincent and the two Celestial Beings were in the same accommodation.

"Rem, what happened to your Knight Armor?" Vincent asked curiously.

"They were destroyed by the Celestial Beast. Luckily, Tara has a unique ability to find treasures."

"Right, can you tell me more about it? I have a Compendium of Beasts here but it didn\'t introduce the Celestial Beast." Vincent said helplessly.

He can only vaguely tell that it\'s a strong creature based on their description but its appearance and abilities were something he has no clue about. Even the others were unsure how to describe the beast aside from being highly intelligent and possessing mysterious abilities.

Rem immediately agreed as she revealed everything she knows about the capabilities and appearance of the Celestials.

Vincent was shocked upon learning about their identity. Apparently, Celestial Beasts were similar to a half-human and half-beast!

With his knowledge of his past life, Vincent had already given them another name, Beastmen.

Based on Rem\'s descriptions, these Celestial Beasts weren\'t something that had originated in this world as well similar to them.

However, they were believed to have been eradicated in the Second Rapture… Even if there were still alive after the Rapture, they were those who had an extremely long hibernation and were quite weak already. They were pretty much on the brink of extinction several years ago.

,m But the one they have seen recently was an extremely active one showing incredible prowess that attracted many people.

Furthermore, Vincent was intrigued by their abilities to control Savage Beast at their own will. That is far more dangerous than a Celestial Being if they were left unattended.

No wonder they were always being targeted whenever they made an appearance.

"This is what I\'ve promised. I already removed its connection to the other Celestial. This dagger is yours."

Suddenly Tara walked toward Vincent as she handed the Celestial Dagger to him. Vincent\'s face brightened as he had almost forgotten about this promise.
