Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 600 Legendary Dagger

"What's going on?" Roel muttered in shock after seeing the attacks of his Automatons.

He has already recalled that Vincent was in a possession of full-body armor so he quickly recovered after seeing the fake Celestial Armor. Well, it was deemed as fake in the reports since according to the Magic Technicians, only Celestial Beings can wear the Celestial Armors.

There was no exception to it. If Vincent can wear it, then they can easily guess that it's some sort of imitation. Since there are humanoid automatons already, it is not surprising to see the imitation that Vincent made.

Well, it wasn't that surprising since there are even religions worshipping the Celestial Beings. Their admiration for the Celestials went to the point of copying their weapons, armor, and even their habits.

The religions worshipping them would want their members to act like Celestial Beings or be worthy of their attention by copying them.

He guessed that Vincent is one of them.

"Look at your Automatons…" Vincent spoke as he interrupted Roel's thoughts.

The latter did as he was told and realized that the Windwalker and the Legionnaire were covered with thorny iron vines!

Although the iron vines can't damage the Automatons, it could still restrict their movement if there are plenty of them!

Furthermore, the Automatons didn't receive instructions about the removal of these vines so they were easily wrapped because of his inattentiveness.

Roel frowned at this but he didn't panic.

He gave another series of instructions to the Automatons as he decided to fight like a real Manipulator this time.

He jumped back and positioned himself at the edge of the stage.

Normally, he would fight together with his two Diamond Tier Automatons since he was also a close combat fighter. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even afraid of getting hit by bullets showing how confident he was.

However, he realized just now that Vincent's tactics are completely different from his previous targets. Vincent doesn't seem to be a pure Aura Knight. He was also a Magician with a high level of mastery in some invisible form of Mana Arts.

Just now, when he tried getting near, his mind faltered for a moment, and if not for his Magic Artifact that protects him from Soul Attacks, he would've been defeated by Vincent… He even had a moment of an urge to sleep in that brief encounter.

'Just getting near him, I already suffered several attacks. What a dangerous fellow…' Roel thought as he controlled his two Diamond Tier Automatons to suppress Vincent.

***

Luna and Agatha were watching the battle and felt that Vincent wasn't acting normal… He has plenty of things he could do to end the battle quickly but he wasn't doing it for some reason.

"Is he suppressing himself? Why isn't he using most of his Magic Tools?" Agatha softly muttered as she watched the two Automatons continue suppressing Vincent for a few minutes now.

"He definitely has a plan… I think he wanted to see the limits of the Diamond Tier Automatons… As you can see, whenever that Manipulator tries getting closer, he will be bombarded by Soul Attacks to send him away… Vincent doesn't want to be disrupted…" Luna answered after realizing that Vincent has changed his weapon.

The pistol is already stored inside his Inventory and was now holding the Astral Night Dagger and the Aura-Forged Orichalcum Sword to deal with the combination of the Automatons…

At this point, it wasn't only them who had realized Vincent's unnatural behavior in this battle.

Even the audience was surprised!

"He can calmly fight against two Diamond Tier Automatons alone… Just who is this guy?"

"It feels like he was treating this as a game… With his movement speed and the quality of his weapons, I'm sure that he can already disarm the Automatons or suppress them completely. However, he's not doing it."

"If that's true… I guess the elders weren't lying to us… This guy must really be the rumored Blessed of the goddess."

"Impossible! I'm sure that Sir Roel isn't done yet!"

At this moment, Vincent finally decided to end the duel… While he was clashing with the Automatons, his eyes focused on the Manipulator who was recovering from the Sword Charm's effect.

His Orichalcum Swords' Sword Charm has improved quite a lot after a few Ascensions on it. The Sword Charm can now work even against someone with strong resistance as long as it meets certain requirements.

Whoossh!

Vincent threw his Astral Night Dagger in Roel's direction…

However, the Legionnaire waved its halberd behind while it's body is still facing Vincent.

Clank!

The grip of the dagger was slightly hit but it was enough to change its path…

Roel obviously knows this as well but as he shifted his focus on Vincent, he felt a killing intent aimed at his chest!

Thud!

For some reason, the dagger that was off course had corrected itself and hit him on his chest! It was an incomprehensible move!

"Y-you!"

Roel was angry but he didn't despair, the stab of the dagger was nothing to him…

As he was planning to grab it, he realized that it seemed to have vanished!

"W-what's going on?" Roel was confused but he heard the clashing of weapons once again as his Automatons continued suppressing Vincent.

There, he saw that Vincent was holding the dagger once more.

'Illusion? No… Even the crowd watching us reacted when I was stabbed. They've definitely seen it as well. Furthermore, I can still feel the damage brought by that stab.'

As he was thinking of this, he realized that his Windwalker seem to have lost its "life" as it dropped to the ground like a broken doll.

"What?" Roel immediately tried gaining control of the Windwalker only to realize that he lost his connection to it for some reason!

Then, as he looked at Vincent, he noticed that the black dagger in his hands was gone once again…

Thud!

Just like that, he was hit by another stab from that dagger!

Roel looked at Vincent in horror as he failed to understand the man's weird tactics!

Meanwhile, Vincent was also surprised to see that Roel wasn't bleeding or hurt by any of his attacks!
