Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Thyrus wanted to use his Earth Shifting Movement technique but he realized that his Mana is not enough… He can only boost his speed by putting his remaining mana on his feet.

Unfortunately, the enemy is too fast, it reached the group of magicians easily and killed three of them using a long spear…

'No!'

Thyrus despaired as he saw what happened… He knows that it wouldn't end just by killing those three...

Suddenly, when the Tower Master was about to chase Magnus and his group, a beam of light, different from the Mana Cannon, hit the Tower Master from above…

Boom!

The flying beast he was riding on cried in pain before the beast dropped to the ground, lifeless. As for the Tower Master, he wasn't sure whether he survived.

Thyrus was shocked by the sudden turn of events as he looked up at the sky. It was the red Vermillion Hawk that was hovering over them and facing the numerous Dragon Riders alone!

Seeing this opportunity, Thyrus shouted and ordered everyone to retreat into the city…

There was no way that the Tower Master died from that attack. Furthermore, there are still hundreds of Dragon Riders above them.

No matter what, a single Flying Vessel is not enough to defeat all of them…

The most it could do is delay the enemies' advance until the reinforcements from the other sides have been defeated.

Soon, Thyrus witnessed the numerous Mana Arts thrown at the Vermillion Hawk… It was a beautiful but dreadful sight since he knows that if he was the one on the receiving end of this, he would probably have difficulty escaping from it.

The most common attack was the Fireballs of differing sizes and Stone Bullets.

The Dragon Riders know that it was pointless to chase a Flying Vessel that could outmaneuver them so firing some ranged mana arts while surrounding it was a good idea…

However, to everyone's surprise, the Vermillion Hawk did not dodge and remained in its position…

As a matter of fact, it did not even retaliate and fired at the same spot where the 14th Tower Master should be…

Boom!

Another beam of light came from the Vermillion Hawk and hit the ground… Thyrus wasn't sure if the Tower Master was hit again since there are still dust around the area…

"This…"

He then saw the Vermillion Hawk get bombarded by several elemental Mana Arts and he couldn't help but worry…

Even if Vincent, or perhaps Lola, placed a Defensive Formation Core in that airship, it is not invincible…

This barrier has a limit and being hit by over a hundred Elemental Arts might be too much for it.

However, his worry was for naught as he saw the Vermillion Hawk without any damage at all.

'Incredible… Just what kind of enhancements did he do to make this small airship stronger than the Warships made by the Nexus Organization?'

As he was observing the situation, an alchemist came running to his side and gave him a potion. It seems that the support team is also doing its best to help the magicians on the front lines.

"Sir Thyrus… You need to recover for now… Take this." A young female alchemist said as she handed over a blue potion with golden threads.

"This is a high-grade Mana Recovery potion…"

Thyrus took it gratefully but he hesitated to consume it immediately.

"Is there something wrong? If you need a health recovery potion, I may not give it to you at the moment as they are being distributed on the back lines."

"No… I just consumed six Mana Recovery Potions so I built some tolerance… I probably need several hours of rest before I can fully benefit from this potion. If I consume it now, I'll probably only use 20% of its effects."

Thyrus explained. This is common knowledge after all.

Of course, he also knows that he has to consume it now even if he can't fully benefit from it since he needed to help the Magic Knights in their defense.

Even if he only gets 10% of its effects, he should still consume it to be of use.

"Ahh! Don't worry about it, Sir Thyrus… These ones are specifically modified by Sir Vincent… You don't have to worry about the built-up tolerance if you consume this… Anyway, I need to go help the others now."

The young alchemist left Thyrus confused for a moment before the latter smiled and consumed the potion without hesitation…

'I forgot that Vincent's modification is the real deal…'

Thyrus thought as he felt the surging wave of mana rushing to his Mana Core…

He felt refreshed and powerful. Seeing this, the young alchemist left with a smile.

Thyrus can tell that his Mana Recovery Speed Rate has increased and it would probably last for several more minutes… With this in mind, he activated his Tier 5 Mana Art…

He can't let the Vermillion Hawk be the focus of bombardment!

He looked at the hundreds of Dragons Riders above the sky and pointed his index finger that has already turned black… His armed had already turned completely red as if it was trying to support his blackened finger.

He may not be strong enough to receive all of the enemy's attacks like the Vermillion Hawk but he certainly has a way to bring them down!

As long as those Dragon Riders hadn't started their mutation of mana to reach the status of a Grand Magus, they should suffer from this technique…

"Spirit Conjuring: Bending Will!"

As soon as he activated this Mana Art, the Dragon Riders including their mounts started falling one by one by one…

It was an invisible Mana Art that forcefully blocks the mind of his targets.

Crack!

Unfortunately, it didn't come without a cost…

Using Tier 5 Mana Arts would always have backlash in different forms. The most common form of backlash was being unable to use Mana for a few hours to even days and the rare ones would even take a part of their memories away.

On the other hand, Shane and Brycen's Tier 5 would only weaken them but it means that their Tier 5 isn't the strongest one out there.

At the very least, they wouldn't have to worry about its backlash that much…

As for Thyrus, he actually has one of the extreme Tier 5 Mana Arts…

Although he managed to kill so many Dragon Riders all at once by spending almost all of his mana, he can no longer use his index finger and he usually needs several weeks to fully heal his whole arm…
