Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Hey! I didn't fail okay… I just know that I can't kill that armored one if I remain in that tiny form. I can tell that it has special powers… I think it's a legendary item or something. Hmm… Vincent will like it so I should probably not destroy that armor…"

Krusk replied as he swung his tail to clear up the barbarians who had already stood up and pounced on him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Most of them were flung almost five hundred meters away as their descent created small craters… The force behind that tail whip was too strong for them and they can no longer stand up after being hit.

'This was too easy for a Mythical Beast, huh…'

Yulia heaved a sigh of relief as she knows that the situation is already under control.

Although there are a few Barbarians that sneakily passed through their defensive formation, the Magic Knights can work together to defeat them since the citizens living in the city are all Magicians to some degree…

"Are you a Mythical Beast?! Haha! This is fun!" The Totemic Barbarian asked as he pointed his axe at the dragon.

Although the dragon was larger than him, he wasn't afraid at all…

"Hmm?"

Krusk glanced at the Armored Barbarian and opened his mouth… He didn't even think of using his skill and decided to bite him!

"Fine! Come at me!" The armored barbarian taunted as he aimed at the dragon's mouth.

Whish! Whish!

He continued swinging his axe in an attempt to make Krusk hesitate… However, the River Dragon didn't care about his axe….

Clank!

The axe failed to hit the River Dragon's jaw!

Flying scales under the beast's control stopped it from hurting him. They were hovering around his body like sentient shields...

Apparently, Krusk still has the scales that he received from Vincent!

Crunch!

In one swift movement, Krusk bit the head of the Barbarian crushing his helmet and squeezing his brains out.

It was such a simple move and Yulia couldn't help but realize how weak she was.

It was the same for Brycen and Shane who had even gone over to other countries just to train their skills. They thought that they have already seen everything and they are just waiting until they mastered their Mana Arts.

However, they realized today that reaching the peak state of their Mana Arts wouldn't change their status as a Magician.

They would still be nothing compared to Mythical Beasts…

'How did Vincent even tame this monster?' Brycen couldn't help but admire his junior disciple's talent.

As someone who was also taming beasts or magic beasts, he knows the difficulty of getting along with them and taming them to do your bidding.

Normally, the stronger they are, the more prideful they can be. It means that they are more difficult to control.

However, this dragon, which should only appear in myths and folklore, would easily follow Vincent's instruction which should be considered an impossible thing.

Clink. Clink…

Two bottles of healing potions were placed in front of them as they realized that a few alchemists from the city started coming out to help those heavily injured.

"T-thank you…" Brycen said as he picked up the potion.

"You're welcome…" The alchemist said as he left to check the others' condition. Since he noticed that Brycen is just tired and can move easily, he surmised that the potion would be enough for his treatment.

If the patients can't move, he would uncap the potion and pour it on their bodies to start the healing process. Although pouring the potion externally would weaken its effects, it is still a decent first aid to ensure that they would survive…

Apparently, over 50 Magic Knights have already died and the rest were injured…

The battle against the Barbarians this time wasn't easy…

If not for the appearance of the River Dragon, they would have more casualties.

Gulp.

Shane looked at the sky as he drank the potion that he just received from the alchemist.

"I wonder what happened on the other side of the city… I'm sure I felt the presence of the 14th Tower Master a while ago…"

"That's true… Sir Thyrus must be there… There's also Levent, Magnus, and others… Even if they can't win, they should be able to wait for Vincent's arrival, right?"

Brycen said.

Just the presence of the Mythical Beast already tells him that Vincent has returned and taking care of the situation.

Although it's difficult to admit, they know that this young man is someone they can't mess with…

He may not be capable of emitting immense pressure like other Grand Magus, but his possession of unusual Magic Artifacts is something that could prove to be very dangerous.

"Let's not worry about them… Although there's no way they can win, they can still buy some time…"

Shane added as he has been noticing that the focus of the Mana Cannon was the northern side of the city where they felt the presence of the 14th Tower Master.

It means that the threat there is more dangerous but Thyrus and the others are at least getting support from the Tower.

***

Outside the Northern Gate, Thyrus kneeled on the ground as he looked at the endless number of Dragon Riders pouring out of the three portals…

After they have annihilated the first batch of dragon riders through their use of Elemental Arts, Artillery Guns, and Mana Cannon, three Portals came out and spat out numerous Dragon Riders to replace the first batch…

The Mana Cannon can no longer fire, and Magnus was already drained and couldn't assist with the Elemental Arts bombardment. Even his implanted Mystic Eye was already shedding tears of blood.

After the City Barrier was removed, it became a huge disaster for them. The Magicians and Magic Knights can no longer continue with their bombardment after losing the protection of the barrier.

In the end, there were many casualties on their side.

'Not good… The Tower's Mana Cannon is no longer firing… Did they use up all the charged energy already?' Thyrus bit his lips as he looked above the sky…

The 14th Tower Master seem to have noticed that the threat of Mana Cannon had already subsided… He remained on his spot for a while to protect the Dragon Riders behind him but after noticing that no cannons are being fired, he finally made his move… His first target was the fleeing Magicians who were previously bombarding them with elemental arts…

'I need to move!'

Thyrus can't let Magnus die at this point… He was entrusted to him by Ignacy!
