Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

'This is just too much…'

In the first place, she wasn't here to do a life and death battle against the Primal Sword Sect disciples.

The mission she received was just to destroy the white carriage or kill the creature hidden inside.

She thought that this would be an easy mission considering that the Primal Sword Sect barely has any method to stop her Elemental Attacks.

If she just focused on the mission, these sword maniacs wouldn't be able to hinder her. If she found them quite weak, she would certainly play around with these people and kill them in the end.

However, Vincent and Tara's existence exceeded her expectation.

A 3-Star Aura Knight and a mysterious martial arts practitioner were causing trouble to her mission.

"Die!"

The woman yelled in fury as she formed a floating ice blade in front of her before she threw it toward Vincent.

The latter didn't plan on parrying this Ice Blade since he can tell that it contains an enormous amount of mana.

The pill that she just ate to enhance her mana is still in effect after all. Clashing against this woman head-on is not a good idea.

Whoosh!

The Ice Blade missed Vincent.

'She's agitated… I can do this.'

Vincent noticed her uneasiness as she seems to be wary of Tara who wasn't too far from her.

Whom~

This time, he has withdrawn his Soul Pressure and Soul Domain since it doesn't seem effective against this woman. As for her companions, after they took the pill, the effect had also lessened a lot and they can now move quite easily.

Nevertheless, the main reason why he pulled his scattered Soul Aura, is that he wanted to end this fight in a single blow.

Vincent used his Shrouded Steps to get near the woman.

Then, his Cane was covered with several layers of mana as he triggered one of his Tier 1 Mana Arts.

Swift Wave!

He wouldn't normally use this Mana Art since he would always rely on the Cane's Crush Attribute to deal with his target.

However, he can tell that this woman has a strong Mana Shield protecting her body, and his Aura and Crush Attribute may not work.

This is why he added this Mana Art to ensure the end of this fight!

"Haa!"

A combination of Aura, Mana Art, and Crush Attribute of the weapon smashed the woman's body!

Vincent has rarely done this technique and he just mostly practiced this with a dummy. Not because it's difficult to do but because he rarely encounters someone who has the qualification to face this attack!

Bam!

At the same time that he was able to hit the woman, the Ice Blade that missed him suddenly shattered into many pieces as the shards seems to be trying to freeze him.

However, his withdrawn Soul Aura is more than enough to deal with it so Vincent just ignored this!

Boom!

The woman was blown away by the impact of his cane and was thrown to Tara's side.

Surprisingly, she wasn't heavily injured by that attack as Vincent felt that he just hit a wall. It was as if she was wearing some kind of invisible armor.

It was either her tough Mana Shield or an Equipment Effect.

'Eh? What's this?'

Vincent thought that his Aura Protection was enough to deal with the frost that was trying to cling to him, however, he realized that it actually penetrated his defense even with the help of the Serene Water!

"Tara, just finish her… We don't need to interrogate her!" Vincent shouted… This woman is too dangerous and he can't let her escape or they might just face a stronger opponent on the way.

Mana practitioners that were capable of freely controlling an Element they developed are just too tricky to deal with.

They have to end this faster or they might regret this.

Tara nodded at his instruction as she appeared in front of the red-haired lady. She can also tell that Vincent was already frostbitten. He needs an immediate cure before it gets serious.

"Don't think that I'll die so easily! I'm Macy! Remember my name! I will return!"

Before Tara could kill the woman with a punch, Macy burst with a powerful surge of mana as numerous thick icicles protected her!

It was also followed by an Ice Mist Mana Art.

"Tsk…" Tara was hit by these numerous icicles and was forced to back away.

Though she wasn't scratched by that attack, Macy used this opportunity to escape.

"Ugh… I should've used the dagger… Using it once shouldn't have caused trouble anyway." Tara helplessly smiled after seeing that Macy vanished in the mist.

She hasn't been using the dagger because she's afraid that the seal she placed on it will be removed and will get detected by the real fated Celestial of this weapon.

She thought that fully owning this weapon wouldn't take long but because she has gotten so weak already, she had miscalculated the time she needed to bound it to her.

She probably needed more Celestial Power to control it.

Perhaps, if she can receive 500 more Modified Potions from Vincent, she would've bound the dagger to her already.

"Ah…"

As Tara was thinking about her missed opportunity, she realized that the white carriage has been destroyed by the numerous icicles already!

Vincent and Elder Han noticed this as well. Since the other 'bandits' were already escaping, the two moved in haste to check the carriage as they were worried for those who are inside.

'Crap… I hope they weren't heavily injured. I only have one Health Recovery Potion left.' Vincent thought as he has already given all the other potions that he has to Tara. This potion is just something he left in case of emergency.

Anyway, once they arrived at the nearest town or city, they can just easily restock with the money and Mana Crystal that he has.

"Grrr…"

Vincent suddenly heard a growling noise coming from the broken carriage. He thought that it was Elder Han's stomach since he looks quite hungry already but...

"Huh? A white tiger.. cub?" Vincent asked in surprise as he looked at Elder Han, confused.

He was expecting to see a nobleman or perhaps a precious child that needed to be heavily protected inside the carriage.

However, it was actually a young Magic Beast?!
