Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 344 City Defense



A woman wearing a blue robe started packing up her training materials.

She was extremely beautiful but her face was as cold as ice. It was Millie.

She just finished her training and was satisfied with her current improvement speed. However, she felt that her training regimen may no longer be sufficient after a couple of months so she has to think of another way to advance. She can feel that she\'s about to reach her limit again.

After Vincent assisted them to complete their Sword Sect\'s secret technique, their talent in swordsmanship increased by leaps and bounds. Perhaps, if their sect is still active, they could easily pass as Sword Guardians.

"Grand Knight… I didn\'t expect to reach this level at such a young age but…" Millie muttered as she clenched her fist. She couldn\'t believe how she had achieved this status in just two years and was about to reach a bottleneck again.

She only needed one year to become an Arch Knight and another year to become a Grand Knight.

Of course, this wasn\'t only because of the Secret Art of their sect but also Vincent\'s support. It was like he was some kind of factory capable of producing high-quality drugs.

Furthermore, these drugs were capable of improving their physique without any side effects.

Millie and Ceri were familiar with strengthening pills and potions that have permanent effects on their physique They consumed some of these when they were still young after passing through some tests within their sect. It is a reward given to them to help them get stronger a lot faster.

However, these drugs have temporary side effects and some of them even have permanent side effects too.

Of course, their sect wouldn\'t provide those consumables with permanent side effects since it is not good for sword practitioners like them.

For those with temporary side effects, they can either be removed by another medicine, Mana Arts, or perhaps, people can just wait until it was removed naturally.

But Vincent\'s drugs were different. They were all top-quality without any side effects. They do not even need to wait for several months before they can consume the same potion again.

It felt even refreshing consuming his potions, unlike the potions they consumed before that they wanted to vomit.

As she was about to return to her house, she suddenly felt a strong wave of energy sweeping their entire city… The wave of energy didn\'t harm them but they feel extremely exposed after being subjected to it.

The Mana Formations immediately activated and protected the citizens very quickly… However, more than half of them have already been affected by that wave.

"W-what\'s going on? Are we under attack?" Millie suddenly felt nervous.

The people near her had similar thoughts as they looked at the sky.

"W-we\'re under attack?"

"Who would dare?"

"This is crazy… Should we go to the shelter?"

The others felt nervous as well but since all of them were Mana Practitioners, none of them panicked.

Almost all the people living here have participated in the city construction and they were aware that although this city is new, it is not something that anyone could just attack.

First of all, the current owner of this land is Vincent. He\'s the Seventh Disciple of the Tower Lord. If someone from the Black Tower tries to attack him, they would face the wrath of the strongest magician.

In addition to this, they have the support of three Celestial Beings! This number can even increase if the Celestial Beings of his senior disciple at Nidite City arrive here to assist them.

Furthermore, their Formation Art wasn\'t just built for defensive purposes… Everyone believes that it\'s enough to fend off a siege from Totemic Barbarians. Millie can make this assessment since she had participated in the construction of the Formation Art after all.

Lastly, Vera City is under the protection of a deity!

As Millie and the others looked at the sky, they saw a dozen warships floating above their city… It was such a terrifying sight.

"Warships… What\'s going on? And---Ah!"

Millie was shocked as she saw the warships point their Mana Cannons at their city before firing them at once…

It happened so quickly as she was worried whether Vincent and the Celestial Beings would be able to react quickly and activate the formation arts or any of their defensive strategies.

Boom!

Luckily, they were able to respond quickly as the twenty pillars of light started pressuring the dome-like Formation Art that is currently protecting them.

Everyone in the city did not expect something like this to happen. They know that they should be going to the designated shelters right now but they feel that they can\'t do that considering their situation.

Although they believe that this city has incredible defenses, they were aware that defending against the attackers will not be enough. They have to attack as well!

Unfortunately, the timing of this attack is terrible. Their Mage Battalion had just gone over to the Nidite City to help them resist the sea creatures\' invasion.

They have just been informed about this so they know that they do not have elite magicians that would protect them in this crisis.

This is why they were hesitant to run to the nearest shelter. Since they were Mana Practitioners as well, they might as well help in the defense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the beams of light failed to destroy the city\'s defenses, the warships started firing using their artilleries instead.

"This is bad…" Millie muttered as she knows that once the Mana Cannons finished charging up, they would fire those beams of light again and it would be very dangerous if it happens.

Right now, they do not care who was attacking or what was their purpose. What they needed now is to stop them from continuing their bombardment.

Suddenly, they heard Calidia\'s voice giving them clear instructions of what they should do and it was coming from the Kayser Tower.

Her voice can be heard throughout the whole city and it\'s actually just a simple technique developed by Professor Levent.

"Everyone in the city must use their Mana Shield to protect themselves. The Kayser Tower will launch its counterattack and you might get dizzy or fall unconscious if you\'re unprepared. I repeat, everyone in the city must use their Mana Shield to protect themselves right now. The Kayser Tower will launch its counterattack and you might get dizzy or fall unconscious."

Everyone did not hesitate to follow her instruction as they felt some vibration coming from the Kayser Tower.

They know that this Mage Tower isn\'t just for decoration after all. The Tower is the central command of Vera City!
