Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 300 Disturbance

"What's going on here, Professor?" Vincent suddenly asked one of the professors who were watching the commotion.

Well, he didn't know the professor's name since he was not attending his class but based on the robe he was wearing, Vincent can guess that he was one of the professors in the academy.

The old professor looked at him and recognized the seventh disciple of the Tower Lord.

"Oh, Vincent… They seem to be requesting your Master to meet them. They wanted to get some compensation for the death of their young heir and the missing slaves they brought from a faraway island."

"Hmph! They were fools. The tower didn't even care about their plans to take those prisoners. There was no way we were connected to the disappearance of those people. They should look for the Martial Arts Alliance instead." Someone from the gathering crowd added after hearing the professor's answer.

"Aren't they afraid of being killed? Although we have a non-aggression pact with the Red Alliance, it doesn't give them the right to act like that right?" Vincent curiously asked after seeing the group of barbarians causing more trouble.

One of the Warlocks was just talking with one of the administrators and he didn't seem to like the administrator's answer so he smashed the desk and other barbarians even punched the wall. This is already something that could put them in the Tower's jail.

"Well, if they decided to hurt the administrator, they will be dead. They can only smash things in anger. But the Archons should be here by now so this farce will be settled shortly…"

Vincent heard the professor and confirmed the presence of five archons coming this way.

To be honest, he knows the strength of these Barbarians after battling against them and he knows that five Archons were not enough, especially with the presence of the ten Totemic Barbarians…

Perhaps, the five Archons may not even handle three Totemic Barbarians because of their immunity to elemental magic!

That's right, it would be difficult to suppress them like this unless the number of Archons increased or if the Tower Lord controlled the mysterious powers of the Black Tower.

'There should be twenty or so Archons in the tower… Did they go somewhere else?' Vincent mused. If a battle truly break out, the five Archons would be in great danger. They should mobilize more combat magicians.

Vincent shook his head as he decided to just leave this area. The Tower Lord should be able to handle this matter.

He knows that Ignacy should be somewhere here watching so he didn't think too much of this as he went straight to the Arena where Karsten was waiting.

"Hmm? Millie… Ceri… You guys are stiff… Ah, did you get scared just now? I'm sorry, I forgot about your situation." Vincent didn't know what happened during their captivity but they were obviously uncomfortable after seeing those Barbarians again.

"It's alright, Vincent. I think that it's also a good thing that we're facing them instead of running away." Millie replied.

"That's true… Should we hunt Barbarians once we've settled down?" Vincent suggested.

"Ha! That would be a great idea… But… I don't think our Primal Sword Art can kill them… Even our Sect Master was barely able to stall one Totemic Barbarian. We probably needed a new technique or better weapon."

Ceri answered. Although she hates to admit it, their Primal Sword Art was quite lacking. It may be good against Archknights or Archmages but for beings above that, they would need more than just their skills.

Of course, if they also possess better physiques and better mana control, the skill gap can probably be ignored. Sometimes, strength or brute force can ignore complicated skills… The barbarians are living proof of that.

"Don't worry, with your current status, you should be able to visit the library and find Martial Techniques suited for you. To be honest, I'm not a good swordsman as well so I can't really give you any advice. I can probably ask my professor to help you."

"A library with Martial Techniques? That's awesome!"

"We'd like to check it out!"

Millie and Ceri said at the same time, their eyes glittering with excitement.

"Yes… You can do that later. For now, you have to witness my battle against Karsten." Vincent said as he led the two inside.

"Of course! You have to win this duel, Vincent."

"Sister Yulia has to put herself on the line for this match… You have to make that man suffer."

The two were also looking forward to this match since they were told about the risks laid down to set this up…

Furthermore, they want to see Vincent in action.

It was quite dark when Vincent killed the Totemic Barbarian before, so although they know how strong he was, they weren't able to really appreciate it.

Today, however, they are in a brightly lit arena and they could observe the battle from the beginning to its end.

"Is that Karsten?" Millie muttered after seeing a perverted-looking man on the opposite side of the battlefield.

Behind him were a couple of female warriors who are fully armored as if they were the ones going into battle.

On the left side was a middle-aged man wearing a long red robe who seemed to be the facilitator of this duel.

'This familiar aura… He really brought a couple of Celestial Beings? Is he planning to intimidate me with that?' Vincent mused after recognizing that familiar fluctuation of the Celestial Energy.

Although it was extremely subtle, he was already familiar with it after being together with Tara and Rem for a while now.

In addition, after Vincent became the disciple of the Tower Lord, he has been exposed to some secrets contained by the Tower. This is why he's not bothered about the appearance of the two Celestial Beings.

'I guess he's not aware, huh… Those two won't be able to do anything to me… At most, they can probably use their aura to pressure me since they can't touch me. This should be easy…' Vincent thought as he entered the arena.

"Haha! I thought you already escaped Vincent. Manager Yulia will be working for me from now on so make sure to send her after this match. She should be preparing already…"

Karsten said arrogantly.

"I already made preparations. However, I want to make sure that the items I'll get are all here so I can just collect them after this match." Vincent replied with a similar tone.

"Hmph! I brought them with me but don't worry, you won't have a chance of taking them." Karsten said as he looked at the facilitator for this match.

"Let's begin the duel! Hurry up!"
