Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 259 Requests

Vincent did not expect something like this at all.

He thought that the tail was already the limit of body modification.

He didn't expect that it was even possible to add an eye on someone's palm!

Perhaps, there were even people willing to put an eye on their forehead?!

Vincent could only imagine this but after thinking about it, there is also the Celestial Incarnation Project and Demihuman Talent Extraction Project. Those two projects already deal with some inhumane experiments so perhaps, this level of body modification is still acceptable.

'I wonder what kind of Mystic Eye is that…'

These people were probably willing to abandon their humanity to achieve the peak of magic!

Vincent frowned but he just decided to continue with the Dance of Death… He wanted to see whether the mysterious white eye on Magnus' palm is capable of other things aside from destroying the three illusory swords.

"Hmm?" Vincent noticed that the flying illusory swords started weakening as they got closer to Magnus…

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Three swords managed to reach Magnus's body but the young man avoided it in time…

Bang!

It didn't end with a dodge as Magnus was able to destroy these three swords only leaving Vincent with six illusory swords.

Magnus seems to have used a Mana Art that forced those swords to explode into many pieces.

The others may falter at this moment and decide to save the six swords but Vincent has different thoughts. He wanted to see the limit of and possibly see the third eye's weakness.

Six illusory swords surrounded Magnus as they spin around him and simultaneously got closer and closer…

This time, Vincent realized that using the third eye that could disintegrate his swords needs a cooldown time. It means that Magnus can't deal with continuous attacks using the same trick… With that in mind, Vincent decided to fight with speed…

No matter what, he wanted to push Magnus to his limits.

'Based on the rumor, Magnus has two Tier 4s… If this is the first one, perhaps the other palm also has another eye?' Vincent thought as he decided to be careful when getting close to Magnus.

The possibility of the second Tier 4 Body Modification didn't stop him from attacking at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the six remaining swords were destroyed by the combination of Magnus' third eye and Mana Art, Vincent used the second skill of the Mithril Sword…

Fatal Mind!

[ Fatal Mind: A skill capable of disrupting the mind of the target by showing them their nightmare for a brief moment. This skill can be activated to any target within 5 meters by using 100 units of mana. ]

This is the original description of the skill but after amplification, as long as Vincent could see the target, the distance could basically be ignored and more than that, the effects had also gotten stronger…

After the Fatal Mind skill hit Magnus, he wobbled for a bit as he saw his nightmare… Vincent had no idea what a blind person's nightmare could be but what he knows is that this is a perfect opportunity for him!

He felt the connection that he has with the Astral Night Dagger as he immediately used the Return Skill!

Since it was previously stabbed on Magnus' thigh, its sudden removal resulted in a pool of blood scattering on the stage.

Magnus realized this as well but he still needed a bit of time to recover from the Fatal Mind… The most he could do was to use an area defense that would allow him to defend whether he could sense the attack or not…

Whom~

He held the pendant of his necklace as a small dome made of mana appeared…

Bang!

Vincent was blocked by this dome as he was unable to get closer… He could only try to destroy it as fast as he can…

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Vincent wielded both the Mithril Sword and Astral Night Dagger as he struck the dome with haste!

***

Within the arena.

On one of the high platforms that can overlook all the stages, a group consisting of top-tier Alchemists and Craftsmen was enjoying the battle.

The one who was probably the most excited here was called Teofil. He is one of the top Magic Craftsmen of the Black Tower.

He may not be that popular in the Magic Crafting field but that was because he decided to only master a single type of weapon crafting which is called the Skill Embedding…

Because of this specialization, he was able to assess or roughly appraise the weapons that Vincent had been using.

Furthermore, with his skills, he was also able to notice whenever a Magic Tool is being activated even though it was done stealthily.

"That young man probably has wealth comparable to a rich clan. Those rings he's wearing were already so much better than mine. Just what's the background of this guy? I can't believe that he has better magic artifacts than the Tower Lord's disciple. This is incomprehensible." Teofil said as he couldn't leave his eyes on Vincent from the start of the battle.

Vincent's robe, cane, rings, dagger, swords, and hidden talismans were all incredibly valuable because he could tell that all of them has imbued skills!

Most of the Magic Tools that are crafted by the current Magic Craftsmen could only provide an elemental boost, attribute strengthening, or perhaps magic and physical damage resistance. This is why the Magic Artifacts which could have almost any random skill were precious and expensive.

As a 50-year-old Magic Craftsman, he was able to appreciate all the magic items worn by Vincent.

He then looked at Faviona who had previously implied that he has a special relationship with Vincent.

"My little sister, tell me… What's your relationship with Vincent?" Teofil asked.

"Haha… It's just a business relationship. Nothing more… However, we really hit it off so I think it will be more than that." Faviona said with a mysterious smile. She believes that Vincent would need a bit more help regarding the matters of the prisoners of the Red Alliance so their relationship hasn't ended yet.

"I want you to introduce me to him, little sister--Oh, Magnus used my Guardian Pendant…" Teofil said that last part softly and the others ignore it.

"Wait… Introduce me as well. You know that I like daggers. I will even trade my daughter in exchange for that returning dagger."

"Me too. You have to help me Miss Faviona… I just want to appraise his weapons. I can even pay a fee for appraising them." Another one said.

Faviona was a bit speechless after hearing these shameless requests. She decided not to agree but will surely mention these to Vincent.
