Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 601 Strange Body

Vincent was confused about Roel's impressive vitality. He had already used all three skills imbued on the Astral Night Dagger. The Assassinate, Return, and Haunting Hymn Skills!

Furthermore, Roel was also shot by a bullet a while ago but he can still somehow ignore the damage and remain alive.

It doesn't make sense to Vincent at all.

At first, he thought that it was because of Roel's armor or the magic robe he was wearing.

However, with the Legendary Bullet and the Legendary Dagger with tons of attributes like Critical, Pierce, Magic Damage, and more, he can't believe that Roel would have such an item that could actually stop all his attacks.

Even the Haunting Hymn with a ridiculous accuracy rate and could almost kill any of its targets, had failed to immobilize the man!

Nevertheless, his Astral Night Dagger did great attracting Roel's attention so he can continue what he was doing on the two Diamond Tier Automatons.

Apparently, he has been using his Mana Drain all this time!

The Manipulator and the Automaton may not need mana to "connect" with each other but it doesn't mean that the Automaton no longer needed some energy.

This energy is mana and Vincent had drained it ahead of time!

In his mind, the Automaton can most likely function without any issues for two to three hours but after he used his Mana Drain, the consumption accelerated and it resulted in being "disconnected" from Roel.

"Touchless Mana Drain is really scary…"

Vincent commented in a soft voice as he also felt impressed with his ability.

"What did you do?" Roel asked in confusion as this was the first time he got robbed of his ability to control his Diamond Tier Automaton…

As a matter of fact, even the crowd watching the battle was also unable to understand the sudden malfunction of the Automaton.

Vincent decided not to answer this time as he continued his Touchless Mana Drain on the other Automaton…

It tried moving away from him but he easily followed the Legionnaire with his Shrouded Steps. Since this movement technique is in a Perfected State, the Automaton was unable to escape his grasp…

Vincent moved like a ghost and maintained his close distance to the Automaton until it dropped to the ground.

At this time, the cooldown of his Astral Night Dagger's skills had also finished. He was able to use the Return, Assassinate, and Haunting Hymn once more!

"I surrender!"

Roel had no other choice but to give up.

He still tried to win even after losing his Automatons but whenever he gets closer, Vincent would use three or more types of attacks that were directed at his mind and soul.

He might be a Diamond Tier with a strong resistance to normal soul attacks, but Vincent's item skills were no joke. They were all from Legendary Items!

Lastly, Roel felt that the fake Celestial Armor is also quite tough like the real one used by the Celestials…

'I could probably win if I use the cursed automaton… However, I would be killing him and it's not appropriate.' Roel sighed as he believes that killing Vincent in this situation wouldn't do good for their future.

He only has one Cursed Automaton and using it on someone that isn't his mortal enemy would be such a waste of resources.

At this point, Vincent also realized why Roel can survive his numerous attacks. There was a brief moment where Roel exposed himself after removing the dagger that was stabbed at his body.

Vincent realized that Roel is a half-android! Or in this case, half-automaton!

'That robe is really blocking my senses… If the dagger didn't damage it, I would also fail to notice his strange body. From the looks of it, not even the residents of this city know about his condition… I wonder how he did that…' Vincent mused as he felt that this ability to turn yourself into half-automaton was quite useful, especially for those with disabilities that can't be cured by potions or medicines.

In the meantime, the crowd was also surprised by this result. Especially those who are supporting the elders that wanted to kill Vincent.

"S-sir Roel was defeated… I can't believe this…"

"How did those Automatons suddenly "die" in the battle anyway?"

"That seems impossible... Is there a problem with the Windwalker and Legionnaire?"

As soon as several doubts about the integrity of the two Diamond Tier Automatons went out, their creator suddenly appeared and voiced out his thoughts.

"Impossible! My Automatons are perfect! They will not malfunction mid-battle! The one wearing the fake Celestial Armor must have done something we don't know."

An old man who was in his sixties cast his gaze on Vincent. He has no idea how Vincent achieved this feat.

At this time, Vincent has already removed his armor.

Then, he looked at the referee who also seem to be surprised at the result of the battle.

"Ahem! Congratulations! Our guest, Vincent, is the winner of this duel!" The referee finally said before she went to check the condition of the two Automatons.

She wanted to see if there were any hints she can find about their sudden death.

Of course, Vincent didn't mind this as he looked in the direction where the elders are secretly watching.

Although they are hidden by a tiny wall, Vincent's item sense ability and energy sensitivity would miss their presence.

Since he wasn't in a hurry to confront them, he decided to return to Faviona's residence.

He would give the elders some more time to discuss their future plans.

As expected, after quite some time, the Elders of the Sacred Garden Peak decided to allow him to leave peacefully. However, they suggested bringing a squad of Manipulators with him.

The squad is made up of 10 Crystal Tier Manipulators and 1 Platinum Tier.

At first, Vincent didn't like it but after some thought, he felt that it will be quite convenient bringing them as well.

Of course, he didn't just accept anyone on his team. He decided to find the other Kayser that is still at this peak.

He was thinking of asking this person to help him choose the Manipulators that he will be bringing with him.
