Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 228 Grand Magus"Vincent… I think that we've really opened something we shouldn't have… My restrictions might break at this rate." Professor Levent said as soon as she saw the woman suddenly turn into a dark creature with dark tentacles all over her body.
They saw her skin and flesh open up… It was a gruesome sight but their eyes didn't leave on the figure as they need to witness everything from the start. A dark matter wrapped around her and just turned her into what she is now.
"Yeah… I agree with you this time, Professor." Vincent said as he took out another item in his interspatial ring.
The real owner of the body is probably already dead at this point. There's no point hesitating and they just have to do their best in killing this creature.
"Move back a little bit, Vincent. I will use the offensive arts of the formation to kill this thing. You might be affected if you're too close."
Hearing this, Vincent decided to just move out of her way and watch how it will proceed.
What he brought out just now was only a Grimoire or 'Tome of Skill' as per the system. It's only meant to protect himself since he doesn't really have many utilities he can use to fight from a distance… so he was preparing himself for a close combat battle.
Being near that terrifying monster is quite nerve-wracking after all.
Thankfully, he might not need to get closer in order to kill this alien…
'Right… This must be an alien which is the enemy of the Celestial Beings…' Vincent guessed as he couldn't think of any Magic Beasts or Savage Beasts capable of doing this to a Celestial Being.
It could be a Demihuman doing this as well, but he already heard from her about the 'Xonid' which might actually be the name of this alien race.
"Blade of Death!"
As the dark creature was mustering its strength, Levent decided to display the might of her Mana Art Formation.
There were about two dozen of blades that suddenly formed right above the dark creature… They then slowly rotated and continued to get faster! After a few seconds, a tornado made of blades came rushing the creature!
The restraining aura was still there as it is limiting the movement of the enemy… It had no choice but to endure or defend against the attack!
Clank! Clank! Clank!
There was no sound of flesh being ripped apart… The black matter was actually as hard as steel...
It was a good attack and Vincent will be able to use this as a reference in case he needed to make a move.
"Ggaaarggh!"
The black creature roared something to them but they were unable to understand what it was. Levent then decided to continue using the two other offensive arts…
"Lightning Prison…"
"Fire Torrent…"
The elemental attacks seem to be a lot more effective than using the Blade of Death which she thought was her strongest attacking Mana Art.
The black creature could only continuously wave its limbs to try and defend against the attack. "
"Ggaaarggh!"
It continued crying or perhaps, roaring at them but Levent wasn't stopping any time soon… Although she can't continuously use the three offensive Mana Arts, she can just switch to using the restraining powers of the Formation Art to create several chains to put the creature into one place…
After noticing that there were no visible changes on the black creature's body, she decided to use her own Tier 3 Mana Arts…
As a Tri-Caster, she was able to do this much although it is quite taxing to her mental strength.
"Vincent, if I still can't kill this thing with eight of my strongest Mana Arts, I will have to take a rest and just focus on maintaining the Restraining Formation Art."
"I understand. Since we can't give it some time to rest, I'll continue attacking after. It will be close combat then." Vincent replied. Although he can use Soul Domain, Soul Pressure, Ensnare, Chaos Night, and other long-range attacks, they don't seem to be stronger than what she was about to throw at the creature.
If that's the case, close combat will be the answer. He would have to trust with his Celestial Weapons and his precious cane.
Soon, Vincent witnessed the real strength of a Grand Magus… It is completely different from the Adepts and Archmages that he had seen in battle before.
It was to the point that he can no longer recognize what kind of Mana Arts she was throwing to the creature…
He first saw a huge raven made of ice as it struck the creature until it was frozen. It only lasted for three seconds after its tentacles started squirming and destroying it into many pieces, however, it was immediately followed by a pillar of green fire.
It somehow hurt the black creature as it knelt on the stone floor.
Levent continued with another attack but this time, it was a simple ice lance… However, since it was made by a grand magus, its power and hardness can't be compared to what a Master Magician could accomplish.
It was followed by another Fire Elemental attack then another Ice Elemental attack. She was switching between these two elements! An extreme hot followed by extreme cold.
After completing the eight attacks, the black creature's movement became sluggish…
'Incredible… A grand magus is really strong… Her casting speed and timing were also perfect… A Tri-Caster can probably be considered as an entire magic squad… If she doesn't have to split her focus on the Formation Core's stability, she might be able to show more. ' Vincent could only praise after witnessing her onslaught.
It was completely different from the normal Elemental Mana Arts that he had seen before. It wasn't just powerful in a sense but also beautiful.
Not everyone has an opportunity to see a Grand Magus going all out in a battle so Vincent made sure to imprint all of this in his mind.
A mist was then formed around the sluggish Black Creature but with the Formation on, it was swiftly dissipated by Levent…
As Vincent was checking whether it was still moving, he heard the professor's voice.
"I just used Life Detection… It was weak but definitely alive… I've already exhausted my mana. Any more and the Formation Core will collapse. Finish him off, Vincent…"
