Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

The Star Garden Peak is a mysterious organization within the Parason Continent.

They didn't have a huge territory and it is even a plateau surrounded by vast Mountain Ranges… It is extremely difficult to visit their place and based on the information they have in their Knowledge Base Crystal, there were only about two hundred thousand people in this organization.

It is an extremely small population if compared to the Black Tower Organization in which each Tower's city has over a million residents.

Nevertheless, their small organization is still on par with other large organizations like the Black Tower and the Martial Arts Alliance.

Apparently, the Star Garden Peak is known for practicing unique Mana Arts that are not part of the Elemental Arts and other common Mana Arts that normal Practitioners learn.

Instead of using Mana to create Fireballs or Wind Blades, they were using it similar to a Puppet String… This is what Faviona learned when she previously had a chance of entering the Star Garden Peak and was shared with them by Vincent. They were using techniques to control puppets to fight for them!

Their strength is based on how powerful their puppets are and how many can they control.

This is such a unique style and none of them had seen such techniques whether in the Tudor Kingdom or in the Black Tower.

Severin and Yulia were shocked after hearing the name of this organization and they immediately recalled all this information that came from Vincent.

"How are you so sure? Perhaps they only pretended to be part of the Star Garden Peak when they convinced the Sea Creatures…" Yulia asked after thinking for a moment.

"We've thought of that as well. The real culprit might've worn the emblems of the Star Garden Peak to pass the blame on them in case they were caught. However, they're the only ones who can predict the movement of the stars or other things outside our world. There are no other organizations capable of doing that…"

Lola continued to explain that the Star Garden Peak seems to have used the fact that a meteor might hit a part of the ocean where many sea creatures are living and used it to induce them to invade the land.

She also knows a few things about the Star Garden Peak. These people were crazy about the moons and stars and known for wasting their talents with useless things…

She didn't expect that this same organization would actually think of plotting against them!

After a while, Lola decided to have Yulia and Severin connect with the sea creature as well so they can properly pass the information to Vincent at a later date.

She knows that it's better if they hear it directly from the Sea Creature after all.

"Here… I set up the Formation. Just pour your mana in this crystal to connect with the network…" Lola said as she gestured at the small crystal on her table.

The two then followed her instruction and didn't take long before the link with Mind Network was made.

"I'm hungry…"

Yulia heard the voice of the sea creature, it is deep and seemed very tired…

She looked at the creature's body and although it seems weak, it wasn't on the verge of death at all. Lola mentioned that this creature was tortured but it appears that the sea creature received treatment after or perhaps, the torture only caused some internal injuries.

"May I know what kind of food you want to eat?" Yulia asked testing if the Mind Network can properly send her voice to the creature.

As soon as she spoke, the Sea Creature looked at the glass window with fierce eyes…

"Did you not hear me?" She asked again.

"I can hear you, human… I can eat anything with flesh. I like young humans as well. Just give me something. I already answered all your questions."

"We will ask you some questions again. If it differs from your previous answers, we will know it immediately and you'll suffer… If it matches, we will give you something to eat."

Yulia said as she looked at Lola for a moment. The latter then gave her a thumbs up confirming that it was alright to promise him this.

The sea creature did not reply but Yulia can tell that they already reached an agreement.

"Alright… Tell us who incited your race to leave the ocean and invade the land…"

"It's a group of humans with an immense amount of Mana covering them. They can breathe and speak under the water and they don't get wet at all. The mark on their clothes is similar to a tree with stars on them."

"They can speak underwater?"

"Our King can speak the human language underwater as well. I've already told you about this…"

"I see... Then tell me about the conversation they made with your king."

Yulia asked.

The sea creature didn't complain about being asked the same question again and answered promptly.

Similar to what Lola said, they were indeed warned by a group of humans about the tragedy that will happen and it is a sign that they must invade the land.

During that time, he can remember how thousands of Sea Creatures decided to move to the shallow part of the water to wait for the meteor that was prophesied by the humans…

It indeed arrived at the exact time and many sea creatures who didn't believe it died a meaningless death.

It was such a tragic event and the humans warned them that it will happen again if they don't send soldiers to invade the land

Yulia then asked a few more questions confirming that there are indeed millions of humanoid sea creatures that can be used to attack the land and thousands of elite like him that can be used by the Sea King at his disposal.

"It seems that it's really the Star Garden Peak as you said… However, just what are these people thinking?" Yulia muttered as she frowned for a moment.

Do they really have to fight the sea creatures from now on? Is there a possible way to stop this instead?

These are some of the questions she wanted to be answered but anyway, it is a good thing that they have learned of this earlier.

They have at least learned the mastermind behind this attack and perhaps, they could start investigating the Star Garden Peak starting now.
