Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"So you are all from Primal Sword Sect?" Vincent asked after hearing their introduction.

Of the 21 members of the sect, 20 of them are inner sect disciples while Han was an Elder of the Sect.

The merchant caravan that they thought was actually here to send weapons made by the best swordsmith in their sect and supply the army that is holding off the invasion of the Barbarians in the east.

"Yes… We didn't expect that the Rebel Army would think of even stopping us. Did they not know that this is for the whole country?! Even if they win the fight against the King, there wouldn't be a land for them to rule if we are invaded by the Barbarians! Why are they so stupid?!"

Han complained as he held his stomach in pain. It seems that his outburst opened some of his wounds.

"Leader Han, please just take a rest. Though you consumed some potions, it takes time for you to fully heal with that many injuries."

"That's right… Just rest on the wagon, leader."

The remaining disciples of the sect said as they assisted Han.

Seeing that Han is indeed not in a good condition, Vincent decided to speak with the strongest and most respected disciple in the group.

"Your leader was right… The Barbarians are the common enemy, wouldn't they gain more supporters if they decided to fight against the Barbarians instead of becoming a hindrance to the Sects?" Vincent asked as he was indeed curious about this whole situation.

He learned that the main force fighting against the barbarians aren't the Royal Knights or the army sent by the King. Instead, they were people from various Sects and the soldiers led by Marquis at Arms City.

Based on what Vincent found out during his trip, a huge part of the Marquisate's territory has been taken by the Barbarians already. It is all because the previous guardian of the east, the Star Garden Sect, has been destroyed due to the lack of support from the King.

"Haa~ It's not as simple as that, although they appear as part of the Rebel Army because of the red scarf tied on their arm, they weren't necessarily following Grand Knight France. I'm guessing that these people were from the Dark Sky Cult… Leader Han was too immersed in the battle so he probably didn't notice."

Daniel then explained that the thick forest and the mountain range nearby are rumored to be the hideout of the Dark Sky Cult. They were an organization that has been causing trouble around this area.

"Hmm… But aren't they aiming for the goods that you have? I heard them yell to burn the supplies you've brought." Vincent said as he glanced at the wagons at the side of the road.

Currently, the other disciples are busy digging graves for the four other disciples that have died. They can't just leave them in the middle of the road after all.

If they did that, their bodies will be eaten by Savage Beasts or any creatures that would pass here. They couldn't let that happen.

"That's true… But I think they are actually aiming for the person we are guarding right now. Aside from protecting the goods, we are also here to help someone get to the Arms City."

Daniel said as he looked at the simple carriage in the middle of the wagons filled with valuable magic weapons.

Vincent did the same and indeed, he realized that this particular carriage wasn't simple. From the start to the end of the farce caused by the attackers, that carriage remained unmoving.

"Hey… Why did you tell me something like that? Isn't that something you should be keeping a secret?"

Vincent reprimanded the disciple. Although he was curious, he didn't want to get involved too much with these people.

After all, he might be targeted by this Dark Sky Cult or the Rebel Army.

Daniel smiled helplessly at this as he immediately explained.

"It's not like that, Sir Vincent. I just thought that the two of you aren't simple travelers. There was no way that such a beautiful woman and a young man like you would be able to get here safely if you were not capable."

"Hmm… That's true."

"Since that was the case, I hope that you can help us get to the next town safely. If you're in this direction, you guys are either heading to Yoma Town or Canthus City. I would really be thankful if you can help us now that our Elder was injured."

"Oh? That's true… Then, will I be able to get a reward?" Vincent asked. He held back telling them that he was also going to the Arms City as he thought that it was not necessary.

"Of course, I will give the two of you a sword. They are the pride of our Primal Sword Sect. You won't find them in the market or even in the largest Auction House as it is prohibited to give them to any people not acknowledged by our Sect."

Daniel proudly said. It seems that he wasn't a simple inner sect Disciple as well if he could make such a decision.

"Alright… Then, we'll do our best to protect you guys up to the nearest town, especially that carriage you said is very important. Don't worry."

Vincent accepted although he hasn't seen the sword yet.

Since they were proud of it, it should be a decent sword and once he enhances or ascends it, it would certainly be more valuable in his hands.

Vincent then relayed his plans to Tara who has returned to the carriage.

"Yes, I heard your conversation. It is a good decision since we will be going to the same place with them. You may even use their Sect to approach your marriage partner easily." Tara replied.

She already knows his plans after all.

He didn't keep his secret about him looking for his arranged marriage partner as he also wanted to gain Tara's trust.

After settling all their matters, the group started moving to get to the nearest town.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be that easy. Before they reached the town, they encountered another ambush!

Clang! Clang!

Two throwing daggers almost killed Daniel. If it wasn't for Vincent's quick movement, he would have been pierced by those daggers already!

"They're here. Be careful!"

Vincent spoke as he immediately activated his Domain!

The disciples including Elder Han immediately realized Vincent's identity!

"A young Aura Knight?! How is this possible?"
