Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Perhaps because this Bloodstone Armament was originally from the Werewolves, it is not advisable to use it against them… It may be possible to use it on a surprise attack against the Werewolves but once they've learned that she has the Bloodstone Armament, it will become easier for them to stop its power of corruption.

Of course, that didn't stop Vincent from enhancing this precious armament.

Even if it's already Soul-Bound to her, he was still able to use his system for it after all.

[ Bloodstone Armament]

[ Quality: Legendary

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Durability: 1850/1850

Corruption: 3500

Description: A special stone that can corrupt anything except for the bound user.

Bound to: Luna ( Celestial Number 80 )

Remarks: Special Corruption Attribute found. Durability and Corruption Attributes will be upgraded in every enhancement. The Skill Effects will increase tenfold if used by a Specific Race. ]

[ Skills:

[ Focused Corruption: By spending 1 Corruption Attribute, the user can select 1 target to experience Corruption. ]

[ Stagnation: By spending 1 Corruption Attribute, the selected area will experience Stagnation, a field-type Skill that affects the 30-meter radius of the user. ]

[ Absorb Corruption: By spending 100 units of the user's life energy, the Bloodstone Armament can absorb up to 3,500 units of corruption in the surroundings. ]

This was the final Appraisal Result that Vincent had before giving it back to Luna.

After enhancing this armament to level 10, its 1,000 Corruption Units became 3,500 Corruption Units. Furthermore, Vincent even used Transcendence on it adding 1 additional skill to the item, the Absorb Corruption.

The Bloodstone constantly revolves around Luna's fist and every time she activates its powers, one Automaton would start decaying, or perhaps, corroding…

Even if they have Rust Resistance, Magic Resistance, or even Corruption Resistance, Luna just has to spend more Corruption Units to overpower its resistance ability…

"You… What's going on?! What grade are these female Automatons?!"

The leader of the bandits asked in surprise after seeing their unstoppable force. He had even mistaken them for Automatons since he can't really feel their energy aside from the energy coming from their Magic Tools.

That normally signifies that he's dealing against Automatons.

He did not suspect them as Celestial Beings since he had never seen one in his whole life.

"Female Automatons? That's an amusing way of describing them. Unfortunately, they're not automatons…" Vincent replied to the bandit leader as he watches the Celestials tear through the Automatons…

He can see that the Brass Tier Automatons were more nimble and capable of reacting to the Celestials' movements.

It means that the people who were controlling these Automatons weren't simple either…

'As expected of people who had trained their Mental Energy… They were able to parry almost every strike coming from Agatha… It was unfortunate that they're dealing with a Celestial Being with a Legendary Weapon.' Vincent mused.

If their opponents were Archknights who hadn't trained their Mental Energy, these Brass Tier Automatons would surely win the fight.

"Tsk… Retreat! Those two must be Gold Tier! What bad luck…"

After the leader realized that half of the automatons have been destroyed, he was no longer confident in winning this battle. After all, even if they win against the two with casualties, there are still four Silver Knights at the back that they have to deal with.

Right now, they can only accept their losses and find a different target.

"Ronan… I'd like to take their Automatons… Would that be a problem?" Vincent softly asked after hearing the bandit leader.

"There's no need to ask for permission. They're the ones at fault so you can do whatever you want with them."

"Good…"

As soon as Vincent got the signal, he summoned his Tome of Glutonny out of his System Inventory.

"Take all those Automatons inside your pages… Do you still have some space?"

[ Yes. All the insects have been converted into Energy Units. ]

"Alright… Go ahead."

Vincent replied.

On the other hand, Ronan was shocked after hearing Vincent's conversation with the book. He had already seen it a while ago and suspected it to have sentience… but he didn't expect that it could really communicate!

As a matter of fact, he even thought of showing it to Sage Vivian when he first saw it since he felt some sort of intelligence coming from the book.

As someone who had trained their Mental Energy, they were extremely sensitive to this sort of sensation.

They were able to tell whether they were dealing with intelligent or non-intelligent beings with this ability.

He was only suspicious a while ago but this time, he's already sure!

He was really seeing a Sentient Artifact from the legends!

"Ohh… So you've heard…" Vincent muttered as he froze for a moment.

"Anyway… It's not a big deal. Can you keep this a secret?" Vincent asked.

"Of course… I'm honored that you allowed me to see this. I've only read about it in some Ancient texts." Ronan excitedly replied.

"Really? Do you mean there are ancient texts about Sentient Items? Do you know an existing one?"

"I've only read about the King of Justice Sword. It's said that it could communicate with people and only those it approves after a series of tests can wield it." Ronan immediately explained.

He was fascinated by this story and there was no way he would forget about it.

"What a picky sword…" Vincent muttered.

'Well, with that terrible name, it wasn't that surprising…' He thought. Although he has a terrible naming sense for his weapon, he certainly wouldn't call his weapon King of Justice…

Soon, the Tome of Glutonny captured a total of 12 Iron Tier Automatons and 4 Brass Tier Automatons...

The 24 others were unfortunately destroyed by the two Celestial Beings.

They turned into unusable scraps of metal scattered in the forest.

"Are we not going to kill those puppeteers?" Agatha asked after returning to the carriage.

Vincent raised his brows and answered.

"Puppeteers? Well, you can probably call them that… Anyway, you don't have to worry about them. They're not even as strong as an Apprentice Mage without their Automatons. I don't think they'll survive here for long without those Automatons."

"Understood…" Agatha didn't question his decision.
