Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 256 Vincent Vs Magnus ( 2 )Before Vincent could try and land an attack on Magnus, he felt that the stage suddenly turned colder as his body stiffened…
It was like he was hit by a Soul Domain and Soul Pressure! However, Magnus is not a Soul Arts Cultivator so it means that this is the field magic of the Formation Arts that he activated!
'Not bad…' Vincent commented in his mind as he triggered his Domain to alleviate the pressure. However, because the Field Magic is quite different, his Soul Domain was unable to really stop the cold and the pressure weighing down on him.
What truly made him reassured about his condition were the magic tools that provided him Magic Resistance.
With this combination, he thoroughly weakened the effect of the Formation Arts allowing him to move as he wanted to.
It was more than enough for Vincent as he continued attacking.
While holding the cane in his left hand, Vincent is wielding the Orichalcum Sword in his right.
Magnus has to divide his attention as Vincent got closer!
"Come!"
Magnus shouted as he didn't mind the pincer attack at all. He raised his left hand and grasped the air in front of Vincent as if he was trying to hold something invisible.
After doing this action, Vincent felt that the Formation Art's effect got stronger! It was as if the Formation Art shrank to a size that only covers his entire body!
It was no longer the whole stage affected by the Field Magic!
'You can do this?' Vincent was surprised.
He tried controlling his domain before. However, he was unable to control its radius or shape at all. The only thing he can control about his Soul Domain was the intensity that he could apply to it which is probably the most important thing in the domain he created.
At the very least, He realized that controlling his Soul Arts actually requires stronger Consciousness Energy which he was still studying up until now. It is the conclusion that he made after weeks of study.
Now, Vincent realized that Magnus seem to have a very strong Consciousness Energy since he could easily control such a huge Field Magic to focus on him. Even Elena, who has a decent Consciousness Energy, doesn't have this level of ability considering how she can't control her thrown Mana Bullets.
Anyway, Vincent had no other choice but to halt. He may not be able to use his sword to strike but he could still trigger the Sword Charm at this short distance.
As soon as he activated this skill, Magnus' mask trembled. To his surprise, the Sword Charm actually failed on affecting Magnus in any way!
Bang!
Magnus blocked Raizen's palm strike again… Although the vibration was making Magnus weak and his internal organs getting injured, he was able to endure it as he seemed to have plans of dealing with this problem.
It was a good thing that his mask stopped Vincent's attack but he knows that he can't continue defending… He has to show what he's capable of!
'My Master is watching… I can't appear weak now. Vincent, you deserve to be the first one to taste my original Fusion Art…'
After blocking Raizen's vibrating palm strike, Magnus disappeared from his position as he used a mysterious movement technique. He reappeared almost at the edge of the stage. It was as if he was afraid of Vincent and wanted to just keep his distance!
"W-what going on? Is he scared of Vincent?"
"Impossible, my Magnus is just waiting for an opportune time. Vincent's Soul Manifestation is quite weird after all. It wouldn't normally last this long. However, that old ghost floating above him is still there! Isn't that too weird?"
"That makes sense… I don't even think Elemental Mana Art can affect that ghost. He can only defend with his Magic Artifact."
"It's possible if it's lightning element… However, I'm not sure if Magnus has learned that element. It's not easy to train it after all."
The audience started clamoring at the few exchanges that the two students displayed. It is completely different from the previous battles they've watched.
Everyone can tell that a single mistake here would be disastrous. Nevertheless, they could somehow feel that the end of this battle will happen very shortly.
They were able to tell that Vincent has a secret move that could weaken his opponent. On the other hand, they know that Magnus has several techniques that could defeat several Master Magicians at the same time with his Fusion Arts…
Spark!
"Hmm? Again, what's going on? How is it possible?!"
"Is that really lightning?! He can create lightning?"
"He's really a disciple of the Tower Lord…"
"No wonder he was accepted as a disciple. If he has this much talent, then he truly deserves it… five elements! Magnus actually learned five elements!"
Vincent was also shocked by the sudden appearance of electricity that is slowly forming up around Magnus.
Based on the intel that he gathered, Magnus only mastered 4 elements and was able to fuse three elements at most. That is already quite a terrifying talent, especially his monstrous ability to fuse three elements!
Although it was rumored that Magnus only knows how to fuse one technique with Earth, Wind, and Fire, that is still considered to be one of a kind.
Other than him, there is probably no one his age that is capable of doing that.
"Come! Taste my original Mana Art! Flame Dragon Lightning!" Magnus shouted as a flame that appears like a snake or a dragon covered by lightning sparks flew towards Vincent!
Vincent had no idea why Magnus had to tell him the name of this technique. It's probably a habit or his way to ensure that his technique would take shape. Anyway, Vincent didn't falter even after all of this…
"Fine… Let me see how strong it is." Vincent answered.
He used Raizen's ghost to counterattack but as expected, the manifested soul dissipated after getting touched by the original Mana Art.
Vincent didn't even have the chance to continuously supply it with Pseudo-Celestial Energy as it naturally dissolved in the face of the dragon.
Well, he expected this much so he didn't stop there… In the brief moment, before he was hit by the Flame Dragon Lightning, he stealthily threw his Astral Night Dagger. However, it wasn't aimed at Magnus' body at all.
