Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Bang!

The dome that Magnus created was shattered into many pieces after getting six or so strikes from Vincent's weapons.

This what a bit too fast from what Magnus had expected so he didn't have the time to complete his preparations.

'Is this pendant really made by one of the best Magic Craftsmen here? Did Master got fooled?' Magnus couldn't help but feel dismayed. He was told that the dome of mana was able to protect him from an attack of 5 Magic Beasts for a duration enough for him to take nap!

It was obviously a lie made to make the necklace's price higher!

'Urgh… Maybe this is just an imitation? Tsk…'

The dome that he made only lasted enough to cover his wound and stop it from bleeding. Magnus couldn't help but secretly curse the one who made this equipment as he looked at Vincent who was getting closer.

***

On the other hand, Teofil, who made the Guardian Pendant, couldn't help but be excited after seeing that his creation was destroyed so easily!

'Those two weapons were too difficult to deal with… That dagger and sword were able to stop the imbued skill of the Giant Turtle Beast. Are they made of adamantine? No, perhaps those two are Celestial Weapon?!'

Teofil was fully aware of the magic tool that he made. The one that Magnus used just now is definitely the real deal.

The problem wasn't the authenticity of the necklace but Vincent's weapons. They don't just possess embedded skills but also attributes that seem to be enough to destroy the Giant Turtle Dome Shield that the necklace activated.

Of course, Vincent may have used his Aura at that moment but it is still very impressive to shatter this shield in six or so strikes!

'Is it really a Celestial Weapon? Perhaps Legendary Weapon? But how could he possess an unlisted legendary weapon?'

Teofil couldn't help but wonder. He may not have enough knowledge about Celestial Weapons but Legendary Weapons were something he studied for decades.

The legendary weapons in circulation within the Black Tower are recorded in a book called Legend Compilation and there may be hundreds of them listed but as a matter of fact, most of these legendary items may not be existing anymore.

Bang!

Realizing that there is no longer any shield guarding Magnus, Vincent threw his dagger.

It was then blocked by Magnus' left hand making Vincent sure that the third eye wasn't capable of fully stopping the dagger even in its full activation.

​ At most, Magnus can only deflect it with his gloves. He can't even catch it at all.

With this in consideration, Vincent used the Return Skill.

Swish~

His Mithril Sword stabbed while Magnus hastily created a wind vortex to disperse the force behind it and deflected the sword…

It was followed by another Fatal Mind!

In this range, the effect was stronger as Magnus almost kneeled to the ground…

However, Vincent didn't stop after using the Fatal Mind as he slashed with his dagger aiming at Magnus' body…

Clank!

The dagger was blocked by someone else! He even held Magnus up to ensure that he won't fall to the ground.

"It's enough…" The female referee, who had just arrived, solemnly said as she looked at Vincent with complicated eyes.

"Who is he?" Vincent asked referring to the cloaked man in front of him. This man is hiding his figure and face with his attire as he seemed to be some sort of assassin.

The female referee hesitated for a moment before answering.

"He's one of the Tower Lord's private guards… Alright, that's enough… You won this match."

She said without much excitement. She doesn't seem to like the fact that Vincent ended up victorious against Magnus. Well, perhaps most of the people here weren't expecting Magnus to lose as well.

"Ugh… Mister… I can continue. I can still fight…" Magnus said as he struggled to stand up.

Vincent decided not to listen as he turned his back. He wanted to leave the stage.

However, the words of the 'private guard' stunned him.

"Hmm… My bad… I was hasty stopping the fight. It was a mistake. You can indeed continue to fight. I will leave now." The man said as he disappeared from the stage just like that.

The audience started murmuring as they were unsure what was going on.

Even the female referee looked at a certain platform as if she was asking someone what she should do in this situation.

After taking a deep breath, she spoke again.

"Stop, Vincent. The fight hasn't ended yet. The battle has been interrupted by someone but you can now continue the fight…"

After hearing this, the crowd exclaimed in shock.

Most of them were happy and only a few were questioning the referee's decision.

They shifted their gaze at Vincent.

They didn't have to ask what he was feeling right now as they could easily tell from the aura he was emitting.

Vincent chuckled as he faced Magnus.

He actually knows that the number of Magnus' items increased!

That's right, his Item Sense Ability noticed that Magnus just received two Magic Items from the cloaked man!

It was done in such a secretive method that if he doesn't have the System Feature, he wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Unfortunately, he can't just simply point it out without evidence. He might be seen as a liar or labeled as a coward who didn't want to continue fighting. This is the reason why he chuckled. He had no choice but to continue this match since almost everyone is expecting him to do so.

Vincent took his time before he replied.

"Alright… But before that, I'd like to ask the referee if she noticed whether the intruder just now had given something to my opponent." Vincent said as if he wasn't speaking to the referee himself.

"What? Are you accusing someone now?" The female referee asked with a threatening tone.

"Of course not…"

"Hmph! Obviously, nothing like that happened. Are you doubting everyone's eyes? If that happened, the crowd watching us will naturally see that!" This time, it was Magnus who spoke in a hurry.

Vincent can only shake his head at this as he briefly considered his options.

After a few moments, he replied.

"If that's what you wish… Let's continue." Vincent coldly said as everyone felt the sudden change in the arena's atmosphere.
