Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 230 Xonid



Vincent had never seen Raizen\'s battle against the Celestial Being that has previously attacked their small village.

What he only knows is that Raizen had long years of experience in battle and that he is an Aura Knight. He did not mention it specifically but he assumes that Raizen was also a 3-Star Aura Knight as that is what he said was the limit of humans.

Anyway, the attack that the apparition just showed doesn\'t seem to be any Aura Knight Skills that he was aware of.

It could be an attack directly on the soul of the creature or perhaps, it was just like what he saw, the cane created a vibration strong enough to get the creature to scream in pain…

It tried attacking back but it wasn\'t hitting anything—No, the attack of the Xonid creature seem to be quite effective as Raizen\'s apparition seemed to lessen. Although it seems that the black tentacles were not hitting Raizen\'s apparition as it is only passing through, it was actually scattering some of its misty components.

Nevertheless, Raizen did not continue attacking using the same technique. This time, the cane he was holding struck three times at different spots leaving a trace of \'mist\' where it was struck.

The cane was then waved in a circular motion before striking the Xonid creature… The strike was quite different because it was as if the cane was used like a coach screw.

Bam!

The spot that was hit twisted as Raizen rotated the cane continuously like he was digging its body.

"Ggaaaarrgghh!"

The being finally had enough… It gathered all of its energy into its tentacles as it tried to remove all the mists coming from the apparition…

\'Even the soul manifestation is going to fail, huh… The twenty seconds should\'ve passed by now…\'

Vincent thought as he can see that the manifested apparition of his grandfather is slowly dissipating…

"Hmm?"

However, to his surprise, the dissipating figure started getting stronger again as he noticed that another 40 units of his Pseudo-Celestial Energy disappeared…

It seems that he made a mistake understanding the skill of the Soul-Forged Item… It will actually continue taking his energy until he decided to cut off his connection to the misty figure or the apparition.

After realizing this, he decided to let it continue…

"I should at least help…"

Vincent thought. He decided to use his Astral Night Dagger as a throwing dagger. This is like what he did before against Richard.

Whoosh~

He activated the Asssasinate Skill of the dagger! It was swift and almost untraceable after leaving his hands. It was definitely a completely different level from what he had shown when he fought against Richard.

Ssak---

Because the shell and the insides of the creature have already softened after that vibration attack, he managed to easily pierce through its body!

Of course, what he was doing now isn\'t some kind of dual casting at all. This is just him activating the skills that are imbued within the Magic Tools. Any magician can accomplish this as long as they have enough mana to supply the tools.

\'Return…\'

This skill is really befitting of its rank as a Legendary Item. The dagger disappeared and reappeared in his hands… He wanted to attack again while the apparition is still in its attacking mode.

\'Ahh…\'

Suddenly, he noticed that his dagger was already contaminated… It became heavy as it was coated with the creature\'s blood or what looks like its black blood. He then threw it on the ground as he was unsure whether it was some toxic liquid.

Luckily, the Astral Night Dagger has already done its job… The spot it pierced through was taken advantage of by the apparition as it continued smashing it to death.

After over a minute and it was still moving, Professor Levent spoke.

"Vincent, I can attack again… Although it wouldn\'t be as strong as before, I can now activate the Formation\'s elemental attacks."

She already swallowed her Mana Recovery Pills so she was already brimming with energy.

"Ahh… I think it\'s fine now… Look, it wasn\'t able to do anything…" Vincent replied.

Since that was the case, Levent decided to just wait until the ghost finished attacking. She\'s unsure how Vincent summoned this ghost but she can tell that it must be an Ephemeral Mana Art.

It should dissipate in a few more seconds… or so she thought…

It lasted for four more minutes! In total, Vincent used about 600 units of his Pseudo-Celestial Energy before they confirmed that there is no longer any life on the creature and that it is no longer recovering…

\'What a terrifying creature… That tenacity is unreal.\' Vincent couldn\'t help but sigh in admiration after realizing how tough this Xonid creature was.

Even if it could no longer move, it was able to somehow continuously accumulate life so Vincent had no choice but to let Raizen continue attacking… He didn\'t want to get close so he just left the apparition to do the job.

It was quite costly but it didn\'t matter. Of course, he wouldn\'t do this same tactic if he would be fighting against 2 or more of these creatures. It was too wasteful after all.

He looked at his Ironbark Cane and realized that it only has 35 points left in durability. It was already repaired previously after he learned the Soul-Forging Technique that he bought within the Nexus Auction.

He previously repaired it back to 600 points but 565 points were used today…

\'I probably need to start collecting Soul-Forged weapons... Once I get the Transcendence Skill and was able to bestow Mana Arts or skills on every weapon, Soul Manifestation might be something that can save my life.\'

Vincent mused as he looked at the dagger on the ground… It seems that after the creature\'s death, the black blood that coated it lost its energy. He could no longer feel any threatening energy like before.

"Professor, please maintain the formation. I\'ll check it quickly."

"Alright. Be careful, Vincent."

After putting his cane back into his interspatial ring. He cautiously walked to the mangled corpse of the Xonid creature.

After a few seconds, he confirmed that it was indeed already dead as the two heaved a sigh of relief.

Professor Levent even felt her legs weak as she sat on the ground weakly.

Nevertheless, there was still a smile on her face as she looked at the cube that was left behind by the being they just killed.
