Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Alright… Now that we obtained Master Ignacy's treasure, we can start our plan to capture Beatrice…" Vincent spoke in front of his communication crystal.

He is currently in his residence and was planning to enhance a few potions that were delivered from the Beacon Magic Shop when Calidia made a communication request.

Their previous plan of capturing Beatrice was postponed because she will just escape from them using her Spatial Magic even if she got surrounded by every Celestial Being on his side. It would be futile and waste their opportunity so they decided to wait for Ignacy's recovery.

They were currently monitoring the werewolves' hideout and if they failed to capture them, they may no longer find them again. After all, once the night came, they were like fish that were released into the water. They will move unimpeded and following them isn't just difficult but also dangerous.

Calidia heard Vincent's affirmation and smiled.

"Yes… We obtained two Formation Cores and three Field Sealing Beads from your Master… I think that this is more than enough."

"Right, I haven't appraised them yet but since he mentioned it's enough, they should work just fine." Vincent replied.

"Just in case, you still have to modify them, Sir Vincent."

"Fine… Fine… Send them to me." Vincent agreed as that is indeed for the best.

When he toured Ignacy inside the Tower a while ago, he also brought him to the command center where he met Calidia…

During that time, Calidia reminded Vincent about their plan to capture Beatrice and made sure that Ignacy heard it while she was speaking.

Thanks to that, they didn't even have to ask Ignacy to help them as he voluntarily gave the formation cores and beads from his interdimensional storage space.

According to his words, the Formation Core contains Slow Field.

Vincent recalled in his Arcane Mysteries Class that this field may not stop Beatrice from using her Space-Type Movement Technique, but it will certainly slow her down from using it…

During her casting sequence, the Celestials would be able to cancel her movement technique as long as they have a second or two to stop her.

Well, the Slow Field Formation may sound so simple but the way it works is mind-boggling for Vincent since it doesn't slow the targets within the field using some form of mana but it actually changes the field's perception of space.

The Formation Core affects the surrounding space and not the people themselves. In short, fighting inside this Slow Field will be a nightmare for the Werewolves.

As for the Field Sealing Beads, he wasn't really sure about this and Ignacy only mentioned that it can only target one person at a time… During that time, it can stop not only teleportation but also other Mana Arts.

"Lastly, I already drafted a plan but since we have several more Celestials, would it be fine to use 10 of them?"

"Hmm? Aren't we just going to capture werewolves in their base?" Vincent asked.

He felt that as long as they have the items that Ignacy had given to them, there was no way they would fail even if he just sends Grand Knights and Grand Magus to deal with the problem.

He expected that the five Celestials in the original plan were good enough.

"We can't just trust on our gathered information since we are only using the observer ward provided by Sir Brycen… Although we can estimate that there are only 15 or so werewolves left, we might have missed something, or perhaps they were only making it appear that they were few to lure their enemies." Calidia explained.

Vincent felt that she was overreacting a bit since he believes that if there are really more werewolves around this region, they would've joined the previous ambush they made.

Nevertheless, he decided to agree to her suggestion so he can give the Celestials some meaningful tasks aside from lingering around the city.

***

On the next day, Vincent finished his daily routine in the morning and was about to enter his workshop…

Knock! Knock!

Visitors suddenly came and Vincent was a bit surprised to see the two Celestial Beings outside the door.

"Good morning... How may I help you?" Vincent asked politely as he opened the door.

Yesterday, he asked for the names of the Celestials so he should know the names of these two.

But since they were quite new, Vincent couldn't recall their names.

"It's about the sapling of the Tree of Faith in the armory."

"I guess you can't recall our names. I'm Number 105 and she's Number 115…" Lucia said as she noticed Vincent's trouble. She decided not to say their names.

"R-right… Of course, I remember you both. Anyway, get inside…" Vincent said as he opened the door for them to enter.

He wanted to offer them some hot drinks in this cold weather but they both refused.

In the end, he just brought them into the living room and asked about the sapling in her hands…

"As you can see, we've brought it here." Katea said as she placed the pot on the tea table.

Vincent mused for a moment and had an idea… They're certainly not here to ask him to appraise it or to ask how it can be used. After all, there is already a note on it about the limit of their investigations.

"Do you know how to use it? Or perhaps, you know how to make it grow?" Vincent asked.

He then noticed Lucia's smile after hearing his question.

"You're quick… That's right. The two of us came from a large Hunter Group. It has a bit of history and they have various connections so we learned about the Tree of Faith… If we grow this sapling successfully, it will allow us, Celestials, to transform…"

Lucia answered leaving Vincent speechless.

After all, Lucia didn't just say they'll get stronger or they will recover their energy but they will actually transform?

What kind of transformation is that?

Vincent was curious and also shocked. This information doesn't seem to be common knowledge among the Celestials.

If it was, Luna and the Celestial Beings who had joined his team earlier than these two should've noticed the sapling as well and taken an interest in it.

However, he didn't hear anything from them at all!

After processing this in his mind, Vincent smiled and finally spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Tell me more about it."
