Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 288 Rescue Operation ( 5 )

Step… Step… Step…

As they were marveling at the sight of the fallen tattooed barbarian. They heard someone's footsteps walking closer to them.

It came from the dark forest where the barbarian just came from.

"Hmm?"

Since they were only relying on the moonlight to see the situation. They were unable to identify the figure.

Ceri took a deep breath as she whispered… "Do not flee. Just stay here for now. Since that's someone who can kill that tattooed barbarian, I'm sure he could chase you as well."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. There are currently eight of them on this path as the others fled in different directions.

Sticking together is much better since there is also a chance that their "rescuer" is someone who can they rely on.

Crack…

A twig was stepped on by the man who had just come out of the dark forest.

"This…" Ceri couldn't believe what she just saw.

The silhouette of the person who just defeated the Barbarian is definitely from a young man in his teens!

Millie and the others felt overwhelmed deep inside.

Is it really possible for a young man to defeat a unique barbarian who can kill their Sect Master?

If they didn't see this with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't believe it if they heard it from someone else.

Their Sect Master, who can go toe-to-toe with a Grand Knight, could only stall for time against this barbarian!

How could a young man who was only holding a stick defeat this being that is over three-meter tall?

The stick that the young man has wasn't even thick enough to be used as a decent weapon. It feels like that stick will break once it hit that barbarian's bronze-like skin!

"Hmm? Get away from him… That barbarian is still alive… You can just wait at your airship. We're here to take you guys away…" The young man spoke and Millie couldn't help but feel something in her heart after hearing that voice. She couldn't understand why but her heart started beating faster…

In any case, although they couldn't see the face of the young man, they were able to tell that he wasn't from another species and just a human like them.

"Alright…" Ceri agreed with the young man without hesitation.

Even the young man was surprised to see how cooperative she was. He couldn't help but smile as he added, "This place is already surrounded by Formation Art… No one else can sense what's happening here unless the formation is broken. The others who were running away won't be able to escape as well so it's better to stay in your airships since we will still be using them later."

The young man explained as he reappeared close to the heavily injured barbarian!

"Grrr… Die!" The barbarian seems to be waiting for the young man to get closer!

The tattoos on its body suddenly glowed with purple light as the barbarian struck the figure's stick that was about to strike him!

If the stick was broken, the punch would head straight to the young man's face!

It's dangerous!

Millie and the others could only close their eyes as they can't bear to see the result! They were not strong enough to help him!

Bam!

An unexpected sound was heard followed by a cry coming from the tattooed barbarian! It wasn't the sound of flesh being squished but metal hitting the bronze-like muscles of the barbarian!

They immediately looked at the result of the clash only to see the disfigured knuckles of the barbarian!

They were expecting that the young man would get into trouble after the tattooed barbarian squeezed all its energy for that final strike, but they saw something unbelievable.

The wooden stick seems to be made of the toughest metal on the planet as it was able to withstand the final blow of the tattooed barbarian…

Splat!

The young man swiftly acted after the barbarian loses his focus… The wooden stick was used like a piercing weapon directly penetrating the barbarian's skull.

It was finally killed!

"Incredible…" Ceri could only mutter after seeing the simple yet incredible destructive move of the young man. She had actually frozen on her spot after she was pressured by the barbarian's tattoo that glowed with a mysterious purple light. Its final attempt to strike was definitely not something a normal weapon could stop.

The amount of energy gathered from that punch was a level that she could never hope to achieve!

"A Pseudo-Legendary weapon? No, that must be a Legendary weapon… It might even be a weapon that was once wielded by Celestial Being." She could only reach this conclusion.

It also feels like they have already lost their chance to run away.

"Senior Sister… What should we do?" Millie whispered as she stared at the figure of the young man who seem to be doing something at the corpse of the barbarian.

Ssakk… Ssakk…

Two huge eyeballs of the barbarian were instantly collected by the young man. Everyone started thinking twice about whether he was really human or not!

Is this some kind of hobby? Collecting the eyes of the enemies he killed as a trophy?

As soon as the young man stored the glass jar containing the two eyeballs in a different dimension, he looked at Millie's group with his kindest smile. He wanted to ensure that they won't be afraid of him although there was too much blood on his clothes.

"Don't be afraid. I'm from the Tudor Kingdom. My team is here to help. You can continue returning to the airship now. It should be quite safe as the other barbarians have been drawn somewhere else."

The young man said as his figure was finally exposed by the moonlight. Millie's group had finally seen his face!

It is from a handsome young man who seemed very familiar!

"Vincent?" Millie uttered… She hadn't seen him for a long time but that face is definitely something she wouldn't forget.

p Furthermore, it wasn't just her who recognized him!

Even Cedric and the man who was carrying him recognized Vincent as well!

As soon as he heard his name being called, he immediately tried to use his Soul Sense to identify them. However, he couldn't recognize their mana fluctuations probably because of how chaotic his internal energy is right now.

The disruptive power of the Totemic Barbarians had exceeded his expectations. It seems that he can't rely on his Mana Sense right now.

"Ugh… I'm sorry… My eyes…"

"Vincent, you can't remember me?" Millie spoke like she was in pain before Vincent could even finish his words.
