Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent did not expect the sudden appearance of the Zemin Clan so he can only ask Yulia herself for suggestions.

In the end, he just followed her arrangement with the Clan as long as Guven confirmed that none of them are spies or had any intention to betray the city.

After that, he did nothing else…

He has more important things to do than slapping them in their faces.

At the moment, the new weapon he was crafting had experienced some minor issues that he needed to fix…

He had to spend some time remaking his weapon before he can try it on the real battlefield.

"Do you need some help with that?" Ayla asked after arriving at Vincent's workshop three days after the Zemin Clan entered the city.

Vincent called her here to indeed get some assistance regarding the weapon or prototype he just made… Ayla seems to be the best candidate to test his weapon since he wanted this weapon to be usable by young and old regardless of their gender.

On his workbench, there are two pairs of weapons. A handgun and a rifle.

"Yes… Can you try and hold it like this?" Vincent said as he picked up one of the handguns and showed her how to use it.

"Hmm… Alright…" Ayla said as she copied Vincent.

"It's a bit heavier than I expected. Is this fully made of iron?" She asked.

"That's right. Now, I'll show you how to use it… Point it at the target right there and put your index finger on the trigger. You will feel that a bit of your mana will be taken away during this action and all you have to do is pull the trigger."

Bang!

Vincent fired at the wooden target at the corner of the workshop… Ayla was surprised by the sudden combustion. She didn't think that it would make much noise.

Nevertheless, she looked at the wooden target that now has a hole in its center… She also noticed that there are many thrown wooden targets at the side and it seemed that Vincent had used them for practice.

"The bullet was fast… Is this some sort of mini Artillery Gun?" She asked curiously while looking at the gun in her hands.

"That's correct… This weapon doesn't have a name yet and I'm just calling it a Handgun for now. If there's probably a new model, I'll think of another name."

Vincent replied.

The pistol that he made only has a shape similar to Desert Eagle but its inside is completely different as it obviously operates differently…

He had made a few failed variations of this because he tried to make it shoot mana bullets using small Beast Cores as a source of energy.

However, it was too weak and could only kill low-level Savage Beasts at most. It will be useless in war.

He then adjusted its power and used metal bullets…

This is where he really consumed a lot of time since he needs to find suitable materials such as a bullet. The Mana Art Sequence that he has to imbue was also brand new since he can't use the Sequence of the Artillery Guns or Mana Cannons. They were too powerful after all.

In the end, he has to make an entirely new Mana Art Sequence to complete this handgun.

Of course, this is still quite fast considering how he just made a new weapon in less than a month. Perhaps, only the Celestial Beings have seen a similar weapon. Once this weapon was supplied to the public, it will surely create a sensation.

After all, the materials used to make this weapon is only worth about 800 gold coins.

The only thing that may make it expensive would be the bullets which can cost 5 gold coins each.

"Can I try this as well?" Ayla asked as she looked at Vincent.

"Of course… There might be a weak recoil when the bullet was released but there's nothing to worry about. Just hold the gun firmly."

"Alright…" Ayla replied as she copied Vincent's aim before pulling the trigger.

Bang!

It missed the target by an inch but she still did it quite easily…

"That looks so powerful… It might even penetrate the Stone Turtle's shell…"

"Hmm… I haven't tried that yet but I'm confident that it can put a hole in it. Check the bullet that I'm using… Can you inspect it? I want to hear your thoughts about it as well. I'm sure that it still has room for improvement."

"Of course… Give me a few minutes to inspect it… Let me first start with this handgun. Right, how did you even come up with this? I really thought that you were just helping the shipyard develop a new engine for our flying vessel. I didn't expect that you'll make such a convenient weapon." Ayla said as she took out her appraisal tool.

She knows that Vincent wouldn't call her just to chat so she's always carrying her tools with her whenever she meets up with him.

The weapon she was holding is very complicated. It isn't just a smaller version of an artillery gun or a weirdly designed staff that shoots Mana Bullet.

"I'm also planning to do that… After all, my Vermillion Hawk was already gone. I will have to replace it with something even better. In any case, just tell me your thoughts about this new weapon…"

"Right… I'm checking it now…"

Ayla replied as she first used her Mana Sense to conduct an initial investigation into the internals of the weapon.

'This is really quite complicated. Did he find an ancient blueprint? When did he even explore a dungeon to get such a blueprint?' Ayla mused after giving it a swift inspection.

The existence of Artillery Guns, Aircraft, Mana Cannons, Mage Towers, and other mystical things had all come from blueprints… These blueprints can only be found in dungeons that have been existing before humans had even gained abilities to wield their mana.

So it was only natural that Ayla would think that the handgun was the result or perhaps an inspiration brought by an ancient blueprint.

In the meantime, Vincent also inspected the weapon so he can later compare it with Ayla's appraisal.
