Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Killing is not allowed. This is only a duel. If I deemed that the other party can no longer continue, I will stop the fight."

The Arena Master who seem to have similar mana fluctuations to an Archmage spoke strictly.

Right now, the crowd that has been watching has already become quiet as they wanted to make sure that they won't miss the battle.

Apparently, before Vincent had arrived here, Richard proclaimed that he will end the battle in one move!

Of course, not many believed that he would be able to accomplish it.

After all, even if Vincent was blind, he can still rely on his Aura to protect himself from any Mana Arts. No matter what, everyone here knows that there is no 3-Star Aura Knight that is a pushover!

"If both of you had no issues with the rules, step to that line… Ehem, Vincent, step back three more times. Alright…" The Arena Master then looked at the two and saw that they were both ready.

'A blind man and a fish-like man…' The Arena Master sighed.

At this moment, Vincent has his cane ready and everyone here knows that this is his main weapon. Many people had seen him use it during the Barbarian Invasion after all.

As for Richard, he had already pulled out his scepter and was ready to fight as well.

"As soon as you hear the bell, you can start the battle."

After saying these words, the arena master took a step back to give space between the two.

Clang~ Clang~

The bell rang after he retreated but Vincent and Richard did not move.

"Hey, Vincent… You have a nice robe… Is that a Magic Tool? If I win, can I take that?" Richard eyed Vincent's robe greedily.

To be honest, he wasn't the only one who had noticed how good this item was.

Many of the Zemin Clan elders and those with good eyes also realized that the value of his robe must be extraordinary.

Well, they weren't wrong at all. This is his Legendary Nightbane Robe +10 after all. After reaching +10 enhancement, there was some kind of glowing effect on its sleeves and it could easily attract anyone.

For those who weren't too informed about it, they might think that it was just some kind of cheap trick to make his robe look expensive.

However, those with discerning eyes will easily feel the aura coming out of it.

"Very well, but if I win, you have to shave off your hair." Vincent nonchalantly said.

At first, he thought that the man would be surprised by his absurd request but instead, he actually got angry as the crowd laughed.

"Are you insulting me?!" Richard shouted with gritted teeth.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Vincent felt confused. Only after he heard Rem's whisper that Richard was bald did he understand that his request was unnecessary.

'Why didn't you add that with the description?'

"My bad… I'll change it. How about you give me your scepter instead." Vincent said replied to Richard.

He wasn't too interested in the scepter. He just wants to take something away from him.

"Hmph! Alright! Then don't move too much. I need to make sure that the robe won't get damaged."

Richard grinned as he lifted his scepter.

Bang!

The scepter's green crystal that was embedded in it shattered.

Nevertheless, Richard didn't panic and he even have a wicked smile on his face. It seems that it was a requirement for his Mana Art…

The shattered crystal turned into a cloud of green smoke as it created an image of a tiger!

This cloud tiger that was five times the size of Vincent pounced at him with great speed!

The crowd who had seen this move was greatly alarmed.

"An Ephemeral Mana Art! How vicious!"

"No wonder he was so confident to end this in one move. He's using something that is only normally used as a life-saving technique…"

"There's no fun in this anymore… He's just lucky to be so rich…"

Everyone felt dismayed after seeing Richard's move.

After all, his attack right now is not related to his skills as a Master Magician. This is him just throwing an expensive artifact at Vincent.

Ephemeral Mana Art, also known as one-use mana art, is an ability in any form that can only be used once. It is either through a medium like the crystal Richard used or others like talismans, medallions, and any special object that can contain a huge amount of mana.

Nevertheless, they still wanted to see how Vincent get eaten by the Cloud Tiger…

"Hmmm?" The Arena Master felt worried after seeing this attack. It's something that could even critically injure an Archmage… The terrifying mana fluctuation coming from the tiger can surely rip apart this young Aura Knight!

As he was about to make a move to protect Vincent, he suddenly noticed that the young man didn't stay idle during this time.

He saw Vincent raise his cane and stroke the ground.

Thud…

It wasn't very strong but this action created a rippling effect on the floor as if it turned into water…

Soon, a silhouette of a person appeared in front of the young man! It was as big as the Cloud Tiger and it was holding a sword in his hands…

Slash~

The silhouette made its move and slashed the tiger in half!

Because of the forceful destruction of the tiger, the violent mana it contained turned chaotic as it exploded near Vincent!

Boom!

The explosion was so strong but the arena's Mana Dome activated to protect the crowd from being implicated. The Mana Dome trembled a little before stabilizing again.

"W-what was that?!"

Richard was shocked after seeing that his attack was destroyed just like that! He bought this artifact for a high price to show off today. He even announced that he would end this fight in a single move!

His plan to have the tiger chomp off Vincent's head was supposedly unstoppable!

Only a few people with discerning eyes realized what was going on. Even Turhan trembled in excitement after seeing what had just happened.

"A genuine Soul-Forged weapon that could manifest their creator?! So they're real…" Turhan mumbled under his breath as he looked at Vincent's cane with excitement.

There was no doubt about it. Turhan was sure that the cane was a Soul-Forged!

There are many Soul-Forged weapons and it was rumored that these forged weapons can summon or manifest the image of their creators! He thought that it was only a legend!
