Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent sighed after realizing that the map he just purchased wouldn't be of any use with Tara's presence.

At the very least, he would know where they are or whether they entered an unexplored region of the dungeon or not.

'Hmm… This place isn't as bad as I thought… Are all dungeons like this?' Vincent mused as soon as he entered the dungeon under Tara's lead.

The passageway is quite wide and it seems that they can even bring their carriage inside. The lights within the dungeon were from various illuminating rocks and some of them were probably installed by the previous explorers for convenience.

The walls and ceiling are also not simple wooden planks supporting the tunnel but almost seem like made of concrete and metal.

What's even more interesting are the catacombs or rooms that they are entering like a maze.

While some of them are completely empty, most of them have various plants that only grow in specific catacombs as noted on the map. Unfortunately, they can't be harvested at the moment as they are still too young. If Vincent would make a guess, these mystical plants that can be used for alchemy can only be harvested in another two or three weeks.

He can also see various human skeletons left behind as if they were placed there to instill fear in the next explorers…

Anyway, each room they are entering within the dungeon was actually shrouded by some kind of mystical energy. Only once they entered the particular room will they see what was inside.

Though Vincent wanted to know how it works, it doesn't seem important right now as Tara suddenly stopped after 15 minutes of walking inside the dungeon.

"There will be a beast in the next room…" Tara suddenly said facing the next chamber on their left. They are currently on a passageway with two paths in front of them.

One on the left side and one on the right.

Since Tara ignored the right side, Vincent couldn't help but be curious about how she can tell all of this…

"Next room on the left? Wait… Where are we?" Vincent asked as he looked at the map in his hands, although he has been observing each chamber all this time, he was still monitoring the path they have chosen.

After a few seconds, he managed to find their location.

"Oh… It says here that around this side of the dungeon, most creatures that will appear are Golems. As for the opposite side, there will be demonic spiders knowns as Crypt Crawlers." Vincent said as he read the notes on the map.

"Alright… Let's enter." Tara said as she lead the way.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

As soon as they entered the chamber, three iron golems with human figures started activating as they stood up like a robot.

They were all four meters tall and were quite intimidating with their single red eye at the center of their head.

It seems that those explorers from Schuman Family did well scouting this dungeon.

"Let's see how strong they are… Tara, let me—"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before Vincent could finish his words, Tara already disappeared from his sight as she arrived in front of the iron golems.

She has already worn her metallic gray and blue full body armor. She didn't even use the Celestial Weapon on her waist as she gave them a powerful punch destroying their bodies…

"Ohhh, do you want to try fighting them? Luckily, I left this one…"

Tara said as she realized that Vincent wanted to participate in the battle.

"Y-yeah… Thank you for leaving one to me." Vincent replied.

'This is bad… I won't be able to get proper battle experience if she takes on every challenge. I have to make it clear to her after this.' He mused.

Clink… Clink… Clink…

"Hmm?"

Vincent suddenly noticed that the three red orbs that were previously "eyes" of the golems started moving as they buried themselves on the ground.

He realized that this is their method of preserving themselves so they could appear again once the next explorers came.

He found this really interesting. It was as if this dungeon has some kind of master operating it.

Anyway, Tara immediately moved to the side as she avoided the remaining golem's punch…

Bam!

The golem hit the floor instead as the room trembled and created a cloud of smoke.

"I'll be your opponent!"

Vincent shouted to get the golem's attention. Though he's unsure whether he can be heard, it's worth a try.

He then activated his Soul Aura and covered his entire body including his Cane...

'Let me try using this…' Vincent thought as he pointed his cane to the golem.

He only has a weak Soul Resonance so he felt that even with a Crush Attribute, it might be too much for his cane to handle a direct clash against such a bulky iron golem. Its durability might be cut in half which is something he didn't want to happen.

But since his Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane has become a Unique Rank, he also used his random skill card on this weapon.

That's right, he still wanted to use Cane's new skill!

"Ensnare!"

Vincent activated the skill after he connected his Mana to the Cane.

[ Ensnare: In exchange for 10 units of mana, a target within 10 meters of the user will be trapped by Ironcoral Vines. ]

As soon as he activated the skill, steel-like thorn vines started sprouting on the ground as they entangled the golem so quickly.

It tried to struggle for a while and the golem even showed signs of success as it managed to tear several vines in a few seconds. However, it still made a mistake as it lost its balance.

Bang!

The golem dropped to the ground as the vines entangled the huge golem. It became harder to struggle as it lost its momentum as more and more vines wrapped around it.

Unfortunately, Vincent only spent 10 units of mana, and the vines stopped entangling the golem as it locked itself like a real iron.

Though the vine stopped moving, the golem was also unable to move.

In the meantime, Tara looked at Vincent in amazement.

It was as if she had never seen something like this before.
