Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 608 News

It didn't take that long before the two completed the transaction.

Roel left the place with the Arcane-Forged Primal Sword in his possession while Vincent absorbed the knowledge inside the crystal.

He didn't even manage to keep the crystal but he also had to promise that he wouldn't write down the knowledge he had obtained.

'Human Automaton… This is incredibly good for the disabled but also quite terrifying…' Vincent said in his mind as he browsed the information in his head.

If this was taken by the enemies, it would indeed bring a disaster…

He was sure that the Black Magic Organization has a mind-controlling technique on their side.

If this Human Automaton Alchemy Technique was taken by them, they might even create an army of Human Automaton…

By having half-human and half-automaton, they wouldn't need strong manipulators to control Automatons at all… They just need to turn one human, even an ordinary one, into this state and they would have a strong soldier all of a sudden.

This technique might be very helpful if it is in the good hand, but definitely, hell if it was in the evil's hands.

Vincent took quite some time to learn the technique…

After all, he wasn't an alchemist. Although all the information is inside his head, he still had to comprehend them…

Comprehension requires some time even for him.

'This is really an eye-opener. Incredible medical knowledge. I wonder who made this technique… Did they find this inside the dungeon again?' Vincent mused before shaking his head.

The origin isn't important as long as its effects were already shown. What he needed now is to find a volunteer so he can apply his knowledge.

As a Magic Craftsman and a Soul Forger, it didn't take long for him to have a few ideas in his head on how to create a decent automaton limb or part.

Once he returned to Vera City, he would certainly start making these body parts since there are already disabled soldiers in his city after several battles… Giving them hope to at least live a fairly normal life would definitely increase the morale of the people living in the city.

A few days quickly passed and Vincent's support team was finally completed.

Maxime Kayser contacted him that the arranged Manipulators are already set and ready to leave. They already bid farewell to their families as they might be gone for a few years because of their mission.

Vincent's team had also completed their preparation. Faviona and Dianne will be returning as well since they've already finished training a few Alchemists in the region.

Well, they taught these Tier 2 Alchemists how to create pills that can stop corruption so they were no longer helpless in case the Creed of Eiqehin or other Corruption Wielders attacked their nation.

"This is Duri, one of my youngest subordinates. He's only 23 but he's already a Platinum Tier Manipulator. He's definitely a gifted person. If a few years or so, I'm sure that he'll become a Diamond Tier as well."

Vincent then shakes his hand with Duri. The man is taller than him but he wasn't necessarily bigger. Duri is quite a skinny person like he has some sort of lung disease.

Nevertheless, as soon as he held the man's hand, Vincent can feel that this person isn't simple. He was barely able to sense the man's energy fluctuations. He already had his Mystic Eye activated but it still took him some time to sense the man's power.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Vincent. I heard how you defeated Sir Roel. It was a pity I wasn't able to watch the duel…"

"I was lucky… He doesn't know much about my abilities."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Duri and Vincent chatted for a bit before the former introduced his ten colleagues.

The 10 Crystal Tier Manipulators haven't taken out their Automatons so Vincent asked where they were keeping them.

"Our Automatons?" Duri asked.

"Yes… Are they elsewhere waiting for us to move?"

"Haha… No… Although it was quite expensive, our Magic Technicians here can provide us with a storage ball to keep our Automatons safely."

"Storage balls?" Vincent repeated.

"Yes… Although it's worth our yearly income, it's necessary to purchase these storage balls. It can store all types of Automatons inside. It was unfortunate that you can't store other things aside from Automaton… It wouldn't even work if the Automaton lost their Virtue Crystals."

Vincent gently nodded as he recalled that the Virtue Crystal is basically the heart, or maybe the brain, of the Automaton.

As the group was about to leave the Temple, Vincent's group was suddenly blocked by one of the red-robed Elders of the Star Garden Peak.

"Elder Mirton, is there something wrong?" Maxime asked as he saw the lone Elder blocking their path.

Vincent didn't feel alarmed at this since there are so many of them, even if the old man has bad intentions, they have nothing to worry about.

The elder didn't answer as he instead removed the hood that was covering his head. There, everyone saw the old man's unusual left eye and its surrounding skin... It seems quite robotic similar to the machinery of the Automatons.

Even the elder's left eyebrow was affected and seemed like a machine as well.

Aside from Vincent and his companions, no one was surprised. Maxime, Duri, and the other Manipulators seem to be aware of Elder Mirton's appearance.

"I'm not here to stop you from leaving… I'm only here to remind you of the danger you'll be facing once you returned to your city…"

Vincent jolted as he heard the mention of his city.

"What danger?"

The Elder looks at Vincent seriously before answering.

"I can only say what the Soothsayer had mentioned." The elder paused and looked at Vincent before he continued. "She mentioned that the enemy seems to be the Martial Arts Alliance accompanied by a large number of Celestials and otherworldly beings… The Black Magic Organization also be involved. They've dealt great damage to the Nidite City and he saw that the Vera City is also in danger…"

"W-what?! We have to return as quickly as possible!" Vincent was alarmed as he knows that there is no reason that the elder will lie to him.
