Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 338 Escape ( 6 )

The Tower Master couldn't help but admit that Vincent was truly unpredictable.

He had already expected that Vincent is not a simple man since he was able to entice Celestial Beings into serving him.

Not many people would be capable of doing that… Furthermore, Celestial Beings wouldn't normally choose to serve a person with a Celestial Being already on their side.

After all, the quality of the blood essence they'll get would be lower at that point and their recovery would be stalled for a long period of time.

The Celestials didn't want that to happen and they would always want to get stronger as fast as possible. This is what he knows about the Celestials. However, it seems that he still doesn't know many things about the Celestials…

"I shouldn't have killed those Celestials before… Now I'm lacking strong soldiers that could serve me." The Tower Lord regretted his decisions for a moment.

After all, if he has a Celestial Being serving him, perhaps they could help him stop Vincent's escape. They have relied too much on their trick to control the controller of the Celestials that after it failed, they were almost unable to do anything at all.

However, he immediately shook his head since they have gained a lot as well after killing those few Celestial Beings they caught.

It advanced their Magic Technology and they were able to obtain knowledge from someone even more powerful than many Celestial Beings. Lastly, they also learned how to manipulate Aether to some degree.

Even the dark clouds above them are also a part of their new Magic Technology… The mysterious being who taught them to create this called it Tribulation Clouds but ancient records told him that it was likely the Mana Cataclysm… Its power should be capable of killing unnumbered Celestials Beings.

'Tsk… Is it too young?'

The tower master muttered as he looked at the dark clouds above him… This is the only reason he could think of why Vincent managed to stay alive…

He had already given up chasing Vincent's group.

He only has a single clone left and sacrificing this to summon a few more bolts of lightning seems pretty useless at this point.

Anyway, he hasn't despaired yet. Once the cloud reaches its critical stage, they were planning to refine it and make an Artifact out of it… That time, he believes that no matter what kind of trick Vincent would pull off, he wouldn't be able to survive it… He can just allow them to escape for now and deal with them once their preparation was completed.

After a while, he saw the Vermillion Hawk fly away at a great speed. He was sure that it even broke the sound barrier! He was speechless after seeing this since he knows that their engine technology is not capable of doing this yet!

'This young man is truly too mysterious… That aircraft shouldn't be capable of reaching that speed. Perhaps--' The Tower Master frowned as he can only think that a special Celestial Being might've helped him.

One of the three Celestials working for Vincent must be specializing in engineering or creation instead of combat…

That is not a good thing for them since he knows that Vincent will just get more difficult to deal with.

The Tower Master remained floating near the Tower as he watch the Vermillion Hawk disappear in his sight.

'Now… How should I explain this to the Tower Lord…' As the Tower Master thought of this, he felt the very familiar aura of the strongest magician in their organization.

'He's fast… I wonder if he's been here watching all this time…' He mused for a moment as he looked at the dignified middle-aged man that has appeared in front of him.

He is floating as well just like him but his aura was greatly suppressed.

If he's not floating in front of him. He would think that this person is just an ordinary man. He wouldn't suspect him as a magician at all.

However, that is obviously not the case as he greeted the man.

"Tower Lord, this is a very far place from the First Tower? What brought you here? You should've informed me so I—"

"Fifteenth Tower Master Aarav, I think that you have pushed your luck way too much. We agreed that you'll not bring trouble to our Organization so I won't be bothering your experimentation in your Tower. However, aren't you bringing trouble if you're planning to kill my disciple?" Tower Master Ignacy said in a cold voice as he looked at the Aarav.

"This… We're not planning to kill your disciple, Tower Master… It's just that he… his Celestial Beings started attacking our Tower." Aarav explained.

"Hmph… I'm sure you guys are having thought of acquiring his Celestials. He wouldn't have done that without reason. You are being too greedy, Aarav."

The fifteenth Tower Master couldn't reply since Ignacy was indeed fully aware of their recent operations. It is pointless lying to this person who basically knows what was happening in every Tower.

At this moment, the old project leader had finally gotten outside of the Tower after the lockdown was removed.

"Tower Master…Did you capture Vincent? Ahh! Tower Lord, you're here!" The old man was visibly scared as soon as he recognized the person talking to their Tower Master.

The two floating men then descended to meet the old project leader.

"Archon Byrne… I failed to capture Vincent. What happened inside?" Aarav answered as he was sure that Ignacy had seen his battle against Vincent. He can only own this mistake and apologize to the Tower Lord later on.

Byrne hesitated for a moment since Ignacy is listening but he hardened himself and still spoke up.

"It's Vincent… I mean, Sir Vincent was the last person to meet the Magic God. He was meant to receive his blessing during the ritual but instead, the Magic God has disappeared. No… Perhaps, the altar that we've been keeping with us can no longer be used. We can't really tell. We only wanted to interrogate Vincent about why that happened so we're trying to stop him from leaving…"

Byrne explained cautiously as he knows that the Tower Lord doesn't really stand with their ideals.
