Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 290 Guests



"Hmmm? You just finished?"

Vincent heard Rem\'s voice behind him while he was collecting the eyes of the Totemic Barbarians.

"Well. Something unexpected happened. What about the others?"

"They\'re almost done. Your senior sister\'s formation arts are too mysterious. No wonder she had to prepare for seven days for this ambush." Rem commented as she looked at the sky.

Currently, the flying mystics ships carrying the five thousand prisoners and over a thousand barbarians including them were inside a huge barrier that is isolating them from the outside world.

Whatever they do here, no matter how much destruction they made, it wouldn\'t be detected by anyone at all… not even a Celestial Being like Rem since they have tried it already.

If it\'s not too costly, Vincent would sure want this formation art as well.

Clack!

Vincent sealed the jar with the eyeballs as he placed it inside his interspatial ring.

"My senior sister is indeed impressive. I now understand why she needed to save a lot of money. These formation arts are just too expensive to make." Vincent wryly smiled as he went to Rem\'s side.

"Are you planning to collect all the Barbarians\' eyes?" Rem asked.

"No way… Only these three Totemic ones… Maybe if the Barbarian Kings\' eyes are still fine, I might consider taking those as well." Vincent said with a little hope.

"Oh~ That\'s true… I\'ve experienced 910 and 940\'s battle styles and they\'re quite brutal. I think that there is no way they would leave their eyes intact." Rem commented.

Over the past two weeks, aside from setting up a trap, they have run several simulations for a successful operation.

This includes a duel between the four Celestial Beings so they can all gain an understanding of their strength.

Of course, Vincent and Lola weren\'t included in this as they would just get seriously hurt.

"Let\'s go… Tara should be waiting for us…" Vincent said as their figures disappeared leaving only a trail of wind and dust.

***

Outside the Barrier Formation set up by Lola…

A group consisting of 20 Grand Knights appeared and started looking around the area. They are swift with their movements and under the cover of the night, they look like calm and cold assassins who were trying to chase their prey.

However, it wasn\'t close to the truth…

"It\'s weird… TheaAirships just disappeared around here. Are we going the right way?"

"Perhaps what we were chasing was a decoy and it already dissipated into thin air? That can be done, right?" A Grand Knight wearing a silver robe voiced his opinion.

The group just lost the airships they are chasing.

None of them could understand how the huge Flying Mystic Airships just disappeared from their sensors.

The silver-robed grand knight who spoke just now basically suggested that the Barbarians have used some kind of trickery to stop anyone from following them.

This was hard to believe! There was no way that the barbarians have developed this kind of technique. They were a race known to be incapable of wielding such a complicated technique.

Then, Horatio, the Grand Knight who has the strongest probing skills, tried to continue searching for possible clues around this place.

A few minutes ago, he was confident that he was able to feel the presence of humans! It\'s something that can\'t be easily faked especially if there are thousands of them. He believes that they just needed more time to find more clues.

\'They must be here somewhere… Are they using some underground tunnel? No… Those ships are too big… Don\'t tell me…\'

This old grand knight realized something as he looked up at the sky. Although no flying airship can be seen, there must be a clue somewhere!

"Master Horatio… Did you find something?"

"There might be a clue in the sky. We have to move around and find it."

"In the sky? Isn\'t it empty?"

The other grand knights had similar thoughts but since Horatio has the finest probing skills among them, they decided to just follow him. In any case, they do not have any better suggestions as well.

Time passed and as they were thinking of giving up, one of them finally discovered something unusual.

Their hard work paid off as someone noticed something off with the moonlight\'s reflection!

They finally found one feasible method to hide the huge airships! It wouldn\'t be a tunnel or hidden under the canopy of the trees but a Formation Art!

"It\'s huge… Incredible huge… It is probably covering 5 kilometers?" Someone said after studying the formation art for over ten minutes.

"Just who had managed to set up this kind of formation?"

"It\'s definitely a huge organization… Did they trap the Barbarians inside?"

"Since it\'s not us from the Martial Arts Alliance, it\'s probably from the Black Tower."

They can only conclude this since this place is still the territory of the Black Tower. However, there is a problem with this conclusion.

"They consented to this slave transfer to happen. If I\'m not mistaken, they received bribes that couldn\'t be rejected… I don\'t think the Tower Lord will go back to his words."

Although they don\'t like the current Tower Lord, he\'s known to be a man of his word and there was no way he would just betray the Barbarians.

"Master Horatio, what do you think we should do? The Alliance Master only told us to destroy the engines of the airships and force the barbarians to walk… The Nine Paragons should be dealing with them after we\'ve completed our job."

The silver-robed man said with uncertainty as he looked at the oldest Grand Knight. Their group of twenty wasn\'t enough to deal with the Barbarians, but they have a special technique to destroy the flight capability of those gigantic airships.

After using this special technique, the Nine Paragons would deal with the aftermath and will be waiting for the Barbarians to cross the border of the Red Alliance.

It is quite tedious but this is the best they can do considering the number of people they can mobilize and the number of Barbarians they would have to deal with.

They needed to tire them out a little bit before they could send their Nine Paragons to guarantee their victory.

"Let\'s just wait for now… If there is a battle going on inside, we need to see the aftermath. Even if we have to wait here for several days." Horatio said with determination…

Whom~

Their conversation was interrupted as they felt a powerful fluctuation of energy. It is coming from the Formation Art!

"Hmmm? The formation is trembling! Hide quickly!"
