Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 291 Control

Bang! Bang!

Pascal tried forcefully opening the door of the control room but it was too thick.

It is only made of wood but for some reason, it feels like he's hitting a metal door.

"It doesn't seem to be reinforced by a formation art. The material used is probably a mystical wood similar to the Undying Tree, Drake Conifer, or Sage Wood. Unfortunately, I can't appraise it with my current level." Cedric explained.

He has the Lesser Truth Eyes… It is a Mystic Eye that he can use for appraisal and other things. However, as the name suggests, it's just a lesser variant. To appraise a higher level item, he would need to boost his Mystic Eyes using a Magic Tool which he doesn't have right now.

"It's alright… The two of us will open it. Just wait for a while." Ceri said as they were still waiting for the pills to take effect.

Furthermore, there are only four of them right now as the other men went to the storeroom where they could supposedly find some weapons or pieces of equipment they could use.

"For now, can you tell whether there is someone inside?" She added.

Cedric thought for a moment before he shook his head. "I can't tell… My Mystic Eyes doesn't have that kind of ability."

Ceri didn't mind it as she stared at the wooden door. After pondering for a moment, she sighed and revealed her worry.

"I see… I just want to confirm something. My Primal Sense had noticed some movements inside. However, I'm not sure if I was just mistaken. If someone is hiding inside, they could be one of us but it could also be a Barbarian." She explained as everyone tensed up.

"You sensed someone inside?" Pascal asked.

"I'm not sure but after you tried banging it, I sensed a reaction on the other side. It was just for a brief moment though. I might also be mistaken… Ah! Now that I think about it, it could be a reaction from the room's defensive mechanism."

There was no way they would ignore this possibility so they decided to be careful about opening this door.

Although they have not encountered any Barbarians so far, there is still a chance they could find one inside this room.

Their group then waited for a little while as immense fluctuations of energy suddenly filled the passageway… It comes from both Ceri and Millie! They have finally recovered their strength and it seems that they were even stronger than their original strength!

"You guys have been hiding your strength?" Cedric asked in shock. This is definitely a strength similar to an Arch Knight! Furthermore, with their current fluctuations of energy, it was as if they were reaching the initial stage of the Grand Knights already!

"Don't be too surprised. We consumed a pill and we're supposed to use this strength to forcefully escape from the Barbarians." Ceri said as she started controlling the leaking energy from her body.

Millie started doing the same thing as she concentrated for a few seconds…

As soon as they opened their eyes, the violent fluctuations of energy has already disappeared.

It was at this time the other group arrived. They were carrying a bunch of weapons that they'd found inside the storeroom!

Seeing that there were a couple of swords among them, Millie and Ceri took it without hesitation.

As a member of the Primal Sword Sect, their main weapon is obviously a sword. Just by holding one, a sense of security suddenly developed in their minds.

"Alright… Get back for now… I will cut open the door. Millie, assist me from behind…" Ceri instructed and everyone followed without raising any questions.

Seeing that everyone is in place, Ceri's sword glowed with a red light like it was about to burst…

Sshiiiing~

A swift diagonal slash from the sword was made as a cut was made on the door. It wasn't enough so she did this three more times!

As soon as a hole enough to pass was made, they were immediately alerted by a strong fluctuation of energy coming from within the room.

"Graaahhh! Die you slaves!"

A small barbarian shouted in contempt as he tried grabbing Ceri's neck.

It happened so quickly and Ceri didn't have the time to back away! However, she had at least prepared for an ambush so it didn't matter!

Millie took a step forward and a swift vertical slash was made!

Thud!

? The hand of the young barbarian was cut as it dropped to the floor!

She didn't end it there… She had actually noticed that this young barbarian has a few tattoos on his body! There were only three or four tattoos on him but this barbarian is definitely special! They can't give him an opportunity!

Primal Cleave!

Millie and Ceri worked together as they killed the young barbarian in just two strikes!

Bam!

The huge body of the young barbarian dropped to the floor as everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

It was a good thing that they could not open the door and had to wait for their weapons to arrive.

"There are only three usable airships, huh…" Vincent muttered.

After the four Celestial Beings killed all the Barbarians and Barbarian Kings, Lola and the others immediately checked the airships and confirmed the number of usable vessels.

Unfortunately, she had miscalculated the power of her formation art… She was only planning to disrupt the flight engine or cores of the airships but it was greatly damaged instead.

A simple repair wouldn't work at all. It has to be replaced completely and although she can work on it, they do not have enough time.

The Isolating Barrier Formation Art she used wouldn't last forever after all.

"We can just squeeze all of them inside these three. It's a pity we can't take the two other airships… I could sell its parts after dismantling them…" Lola could only compromise.

"So we're going to leave the two flying ships? Shouldn't we destroy it? They might find some clues about the technique you used." Vincent asked as they headed to one of the vessels.

"It's fine… Let's leave it to the Martial Arts Alliance outside."

"Martial Arts Alliance? Ah? Are they planning to free the prisoners as well?" Vincent asked. He had almost forgotten what Faviona mentioned to him before.

From her words, it was likely that the Martial Arts Alliance wouldn't allow the Red Alliance to capture humans. Unlike the Black Tower which can accept bribes, the Martial Arts Alliance has its pride and wouldn't easily compromise with the Barbarians.

"That's right… In any case, call a few leaders of the airships. We need to have a short meeting…" Lola said as she looked at the freed prisoners.

Soon, a group of twelve people gathered in front of Vincent and Yulia.

From the looks of it, they were quite famous people in the Kingdom.

Furthermore, among these twelve, three of them were acquainted with Vincent.

They were Yvette Marshall, Cedric Schuman, and Luc Diederich…
