Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 242 Vincent Vs Alexander ( 3 )The Mana Drain was previously just a weak Tier 1 Mana Art that can only be used when the target is not resisting at all.
Any form of resistance or even just a simple circulation of mana within the body and the Mana Drain will be disrupted and canceled. It is basically unsuited for battle.
However, after Vincent practiced the ability silently every day like how he grinds his other Tier 1 Mana Arts, it continuously improved.
From the beginner to the intermediate stage, he had already seen some improvements. Reaching an advanced state allowed him to strengthen the draining ability of the skill. Furthermore, draining was just one of its effects as it could transfer the mana into his body. It's more like a Mana Extraction for Vincent.
Of course, thanks to his Synthetic Celestial Core, the mana being transferred was easily converted into a minuscule amount of Pseudo-Celestial Energy… It may not be a huge amount after being filtered by his core but it's still better than nothing.
'Mana Drain!'
As soon as he activated the skill, the faint feeling for Alexander's thread of Mana thickens… It became firmer and 'visible' to Vincent.
Since Alexander is voluntarily expending his mana right now, Vincent was able to easily get the touchless connection that he needed to begin the Mana Drain.
Soon, numerous threads of mana started coming out of Alexander's body without his knowledge…
He might've even felt that he's now exerting a lot of pressure on Vincent with a powerful gale force…
Seeing that Vincent was unmoving, Alexander smiled…
"Your staff is mine!"
Alexander shouted as he pounced at Vincent.
Since the latter already stored the damaged cane in his interspatial ring, Vincent is now using a different weapon.
It is his Aura-Forged Black Mithril Sword.
Clang! Clang!
Alexander's stabbed his dagger while Vincent defended using the mithril sword. It was followed by a slash from the second dagger but the latter decided to dodge this time.
His dodging speed revealed that he actually has no issues staying within the Gale Force which was quite shocking to Alexander.
Even the audience realized this as well seeing how swift he got of out the dagger's range and nimbly circled around him.
"Y-you can move without obstruction?! You're faking it?!"
He thought that Vincent would just be forced to continuously fight him on his ground while resisting the Field Magic he created.
This is the reason why he wasn't too bothered when Vincent blocked one of his attacks easily. He believes that it will just be a matter of time before he makes a mistake and he would capitalize on it.
Since he has trained himself with several dagger techniques, he thought that it was just a matter of time until Vincent could no longer resist his Gale Force.
He's confident with his mana reserves after all.
Of course, Vincent didn't reply as the Mana Drain is still activated. He can't lose his focus now.
To be honest, he was also shocked by the incredible amount of Alexander's mana. This is probably larger than even Yulia's mana capacity.
Nevertheless, this made him excited even more.
He realized why this person is being closely watched by the Black Tower. He has the capability of wielding several pseudo-legendary artifacts, his battle abilities were top-notch, his mastery of elemental mana art is also superb, and lastly, he has an insane amount of mana!
It's too bad for him that he would not be able to cast any more of his Elemental Mana Art because of Vincent's Mana Drain…
"Hmm? What's going on?"
As Alexander canceled his Gale Force since he felt that it was useless anyway, he realized that his mana is still leaking.
This had only happened once to him and that was during his Mana Baptism.
During that time, his father even worried that a Mana Storm was about to occur because of mana that was gathering around his body.
Alexander looked at Vincent in shock.
The latter didn't give an answer but his grinning face was enough for Alexander to understand that Vincent did something to him.
'Is it an artifact's Ephemeral Mana Art? Tsk… Whatever it is, as long as I knock him out, this should stop from happening…'
Alexander was about to continue his assault on Vincent but he was momentarily stunned.
Vincent used one of the Aura-Forged Black Mithril Sword's skill options.
[ Fatal Mind: A skill capable of disrupting the mind of the target by showing them their nightmare for a brief moment. This skill can be activated to any target within 5 meters by using 100 units of mana.
Cooldown: 10 minutes
Remarks: The cooldown can be ignored in exchange for durability points. The amount deducted depends on the remaining time. ]
Clank!
Alexander resisted the Fatal Mind as one of his Magic Tools took effect… It was his blue necklace that has started to dim. It seems that it used its 'powers' to resist the Fatal Mind…
Nevertheless, even if he was not harmed, Alexander's momentum was still disrupted.
Vincent frowned as he used another ability, this time, it was his Nightbane Robe's ability.
Chaos Night!
This is the skill he used to deal with Richard before.
[ Chaos Night: A skill capable of trapping the consciousness of the target in a nightmare that lasts depending on the target's Mind Manipulation Resistance. It costs 400 units of mana per usage.
Cooldown: 30 minutes.
Remarks: Ineffective against a target that is already under any Mind Manipulation Technique. ]
This is the full description of the Mana Arts and Vincent was actually a bit disappointed since he can't make this any stronger.
Since this is an ability imbued into a weapon, there is no mastery level on this like beginner stage, intermediate stage, and so on.
It means that if his opponent had reached a certain level, it wouldn't be able to deal any damage at all.
The good thing about this, however, is that he could use this at the same time he's casting his Tier 1 Mana Art.
It feels like he was doing a dual-casting right now!
As Alexander was slowly draining his mana, he was dealing with Vincent's magic tools' skill options as well!
