Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 367 Seal's Secret ( 2 )

Vincent nervously opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of his room. It was made of wood and unpainted. There's even a spider web on the corner. It doesn't look that well but happiness can be seen on his face as soon as he saw this scene.

He blinked a couple of times to confirm that he is seeing this clearly before he looked at his hands…

"I did it…" Vincent muttered with excitement as he clenched his fist.

He unsteadily sat up and realized that he was still lying in the pool of blood that already started drying up…

His body was quite sticky so he immediately stood up to wash in the bathroom. He has a Magic Tool that allows him to cleanse himself but he decided to go with the normal way of cleaning his body. In any case, he also wanted to see himself in the huge mirror there.

After a while, Vincent came out of the bathroom and cleaned the pool of blood using a cleansing artifact that utilizes both water and fire elements to wash and dry the floor.

After feeling refreshed, Vincent took a deep breath as he decided to start with his experiment. Although he wanted to know about the enemies that the goddess mentioned to him just a moment ago, what was important right now is to master his eyes' ability.

Apparently, he has been feeling that his eyes could do something more than just see things. It was as if he gained genuine Mystic Eyes after he repaired it!

Unfortunately for him, he's unable to appraise his eyes, and even after checking his status panel, he can't find anything related to the new ability of his eyes.

That's right, it wasn't detected as a skill by the system so he needs to identify it himself.

He found a place to sit down and calmly circulated his Pseudo-Celestial Energy into his eyes to see if there would be any changes in his vision…

He did this very slowly since he wanted to feel any subtle changes that might happen.

As soon as his circulated energy reached his eyes, he realized that he was able to see something around his room that wasn't there previously.

He observed it for a while and it didn't take that long before he reached a conclusion…

"So this is what Mana looks like…"

Vincent muttered with a grin on his face.

It is a well-known fact that mana cannot be seen but it can be felt.

There may be some ways to see mana like materializing it using Tier 2 Mana Arts method but what you'll see is already processed mana and not the raw mana that he's seeing right now.

He pulled out various items within his storage space and confirmed that the amount of blue glow or mana would increase the higher quality…

It wasn't unexpected but as soon as he checked the Ancient Rank items in his possession, he realized that there is no mana around them at all.

'I guess items involving the deities don't emanate mana, huh…' Vincent mused since it was the same with Vera.

He would expect that this mighty being would have incredibly powerful mana fluctuations that would make him suffocate.

However, Vera was only exuding a sacred aura that is completely different from mana. It doesn't make him fear her but it does make him feel respect and a sort of adoration although it wasn't too obvious.

After this, he tried to familiarize himself with this new ability and found various ways of using it. He tried using this ability with only one eye and confirmed that it was actually possible.

The left eye could the real world while the right eye can see the mana world and vice versa. Furthermore, it would only take him about 3 to 5 seconds to activate it after practicing for a bit.

He then proceeded to cast normal Tier 2 Mana Arts like Mana Bullets and Mana Distortion that he learned in the library of the First Tower and realized that the activation sequence of the Mana Art was smoother and faster.

He did this with other abilities as well and confirmed that he really has better casting speed now!

"What's going on? Did my talent receive an upgrade as well?" Vincent muttered since he knows that a Mana Practitioner like him with a poor or low-grade talent wouldn't have this smooth casting ability.

Anyway, since he doesn't have a way to measure his talent grade at the moment, he can only think that it is related to how he could see the Mana Flow clearly.

Vincent then spent his time grinding his system skills with various items in his inventory including the collection of items within the warehouse of his residence.

He wasn't in a hurry to end his isolation since he knows that he can trust his people to deal with any problems outside.

"Eh?"

As he was starting to use his enhancement skills, he realized that his energy capacity had increased again.

"This is incredible… Is this part of Vera's gift?"

Vincent thought for a moment but suddenly, a crazy idea came to him.

What if what the goddess said about the seal helping him avoid the enemy's detection was real?

What if he was really talented when he was born?

What if his talent was sealed by his parents but as he grows older, the seal had gotten weaker and the goddess decided to strengthen the seal?

"Ugh…"

As he reached this thought, he realized that it would actually make sense and it would also fit his story here as a protagonist that transmigrated from another world.

Cough… Cough…

Vincent felt a bit embarrassed with himself after thinking that he was something sort of a protagonist.

"I can't think like that… I'm not the protagonist here. I'm not in a book or a movie set… I can really die here unlike those real protagonists in books… I should still be wary and get myself stronger." Vincent thought as he erased these random thoughts and checked his status panel again.
