Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Brycen exploded with power as his Imperious Will covered his entire body… Because of this, Vincent's Soul Domain was easily taken care of and as for Shane, his Magic Artifact seems to have an ability that could block his Domain.

They were both very experienced in dealing with Aura Knight's skills as they weren't even impressed by the power of this domain… It must be said that after being able to perfectly visualize Vera in his training, his Aura has already increased by leaps and bounds.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two swords aiming for their head came rushing down exactly above them. The sword's movement was loud as if they are asking to be noticed by the targets.

The two Grand Knights then raised their swords to defend themselves. They didn't even look at the flying swords properly since they can easily tell the location of the swords above them.

Although the flying swords are very fast and sharp, their swords weren't normal either…

Their focus was on Vincent.

Clang! Clang!

The swords clashed together but Brycen and Shane were confused. The third sword that was supposedly targeting their feet somehow vanished…

Although the movement of this sword was silent and stealthy, it shouldn't be to the point that it become undetected. They finally left their eyes on Vincent as they tried to find the sword that just vanished from their mana field.

This is a very dangerous variable if it was left unnoticed.

However, before they could even try to find this flying sword, the two other swords that they deflected returned extremely fast!

"Behind!"

Shane warned as he realized that Vincent's control over the sword did not disappear even after they struck it with their powerful Mana Blade…

Normally, this mana blade would cut off Vincent's connection to the sword if he was controlling them with Mana Strings.

However, they are unaware that he wasn't using Mana Strings to control them… What he was using is the skill of the swords themselves!

They deflected the swords again but they felt the danger that it had brought to them… Without any hesitation, the two activated their strongest Mana Shell allowing them to be perfectly protected from any angles…

Clink!

The third sword appeared at the same time and Brycen's thigh was almost pierced if he didn't activate his defense in time.

They have finally realized that they can't underestimate the level of control that Vincent had over these swords.

"Good! It wouldn't be interesting if you're not this strong, Vincent…" Brycen said as he threw his sword creating a trail of fire…

Now that he can see and feel the presence of the three flying swords, he no longer felt threatened… Especially, after confirming the strength behind the flying sword's strike.

From their clash just now, he surmised that the flying swords weren't that dangerous to a Grand Knight's body. Their strikes are bearable and he doesn't have to be worried about it even without a weapon in his hands.

His normal Mana Barrier partnered with his Bronze Skin should be more than enough to stop it.

Vincent raised his brows after seeing that Brycen just threw out his only weapon…

Nevertheless, this is a great opportunity to weaken his opponent…

Vincent swiftly controlled the three flying swords to attack Brycen's flaming swords…

Boom!

The clash between the swords created a shockwave as the crowd who had been watching them stepped back… The force from that collision was just too strong… The three flying swords were scattered away and the flame sword struck the ground instead.

As expected of a Grand Knight, the sword he casually threw has an immense force behind it. The three flying swords were only able to redirect its trajectory.

"Ensnare!" Vincent immediately activated the cane's ability as he felt Shane use the ghost-like movement technique and arrived behind him.

It was the same technique he used to bypass the Tower's Mana Barrier.

"Tsk! Annoying technique…" Shane wanted to curse as the Iron Vines that suddenly disrupted his movement almost tripped him to the ground. It also revealed his position so Vincent was able to move away in an instant…

"Oh? Is that a Tier 1 Movement Technique? Shrouded Steps?" Brycen noticed Vincent's technique and he couldn't help but be impressed. Shrouded Step is a technique that anyone could learn but not everyone could master. He can easily tell that Vincent's mastery over this movement technique had already reached its peak and it doesn't just require talent to do this but also hard work.

He likes these kinds of people who work hard so his impression of Vincent immediately improved.

On the other hand, Vincent heard him speak but he didn't answer. Instead, he decided to unleash his finest Tier 2 Mana Art, his Mana Bullets…

Although he can't form multiple bullets at the same time, he was quick at forming these bullets, and shooting them at his target was even faster.

It would only take less than a second to complete all this action. Furthermore, Vincent can now see with his own eyes!

Using this technique is now more comfortable and less taxing to his body…

"Haha! Kid, do you think that those Mana Bullets can hurt someone at our level? You should create a Fusion Art or something to make it more interesting…" Shane mocked Vincent after sensing the weak mana fluctuation from the bullet the latter made.

Vincent didn't get mad at this as he even smiled after hearing him look down on his technique…

"Don't worry, I will adjust my Mana Bullets depending on how you fair against it…" Vincent replied as he started shooting them with his Pseudo-Celestial Energy Bullets!

Bam! Bam!

The first two bullets were deflected by the Brycen and Shane's simple mana barrier… They didn't think too much of these bullets as expected.

However, their expression suddenly turned serious after feeling the impact that followed after.

It was heavy…

The bullet formed by Vincent was something they have never experienced before. Well, it is only a Tier 2 Mana Art and people wouldn't normally use this low-level technique to fight a Grand Magus.

They have never thought that Mana Bullets can be this strong!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Vincent didn't stop shooting at them… This time, his two opponents decided to dodge and deflect it with their equipment. They realized that if they get cleanly hit by these bullets, they would only need three shots to destroy their shields and expose their bodies!

They then started getting closer to Vincent as they wanted to put pressure on him… However, they suddenly felt their Mana being consumed a lot faster!

'What's going on? A formation art? Is it a trap? How is our mana being drained this fast?!'

These are the questions in their minds but they have no time to look for an answer. They suddenly felt five of the artillery guns mounted on the wall being pointed at them!
