"Let's see…"
Vincent muttered as he carefully checked his status panel this time…

"Ugh… Isn't this increase a bit too big?"
Vincent said in disbelief as he confirmed that his energy capacity had actually doubled after removing the seal on his body.
"No wonder I feel so much better…"
Because of this sudden increase in his Pseudo-Celestial Energy unit, he can now confidently enhance all the items in his Interspatial Ring including the special ones inside his System Inventory Slot.
In addition to that, his natural Energy Recovery Speed had increased as well making it very convenient to continue with his grind.
Thanks to this, Vincent spent another two days in his residence before he felt satisfied. His Ascendence Skill is about to reach Level 10 and once it happened, he would receive another decent reward from the Awakening System.
Furthermore, if he still has a collection of the Magic Beast's Cores, he can probably level up his Transcendence Skill today as well.
After completing all his tasks, he then checked the residence's Formation Core if there is any indication that someone tried contacting him. It is simply an emergency measure to let him know if there is an issue that requires his immediate presence.
However, Vincent didn't find anything at all. It means that there shouldn't be any huge problems that can't be handled by the people he assigned to manage the city.
This is a good thing as it means that he can continue with his isolation… But after thinking for a bit, he felt that it was already enough since he was already in isolation for several weeks.
He needed to know the current situation outside even though there is no urgent matter on hand.
"Ahhh… Before that…"
Vincent then recalled something as he took out one item in his inventory slot.
It is a black book that could float on its own and communicate with Vincent using some sort of telepathy.
That's right, he took out the Tome of Gluttony which is his only Awakened Item as of right now. Its sentience was only Mid-Level so this tome doesn't have intelligence comparable to a human. However, it is at least capable of basic communication without any emotions. It's more like an A.I. than a real human sentience.
"Glutton… Have you digested all of them already?" Vincent asked referring to the magicians including the warships that it had devoured weeks ago.
Although the devouring ability of the Tome is very powerful, it needed some time to digest them all. The speed can be faster if Vincent or the Tome itself decided to boost it with mana but it requires a lot of it so they wouldn't do it unless they are in a hurry.
Now that Vincent has a huge pool of energy right now, he thought of helping the Tome complete its consumption to assist with its growth.
It must be remembered that this Tome has four special attributes and Growth is one of them. As the name implies, the tome's current specs weren't permanent and it would only get stronger.
[ I've devoured all the living beings. The objects were the only things left. ]
"Objects? You mean their Magic Tools including the warships?" Vincent asked.
Although other people might consider it a waste that all those items will just be devoured by the Tome, Vincent doesn't have any problems with this since he doesn't lack high-quality items at all. Although he can't make some Magic Artifacts himself, he can still transcend an existing one and make something even better.
[ That's correct. I need 2,580 units of mana to complete my devouring process. ]
The mechanical or emotionless voice from the tome replied.
"Alright… That's only a bit over 500 Pseudo-Celestial Energy… Let me lend it to you…" Vincent said as he held the tome and poured his energy into the Awakened Item.
Because of the versatility of this unique energy, it can be easily converted by the Tome as its mana replacement but it is not possible for other Mana Practitioners.
It means that Vincent can easily receive Mana from other practitioners but he can't provide them with Mana since what he has is Pseudo-Celestial Energy. After all, he possesses a Synthetic Celestial Core that can convert incoming Mana to Pseudo-Celestial Energy but the others do not have it.
As for his Tier 2 Mana Arts like Mana Bullet… to be honest, they were only called Mana Bullets but what he was actually manifesting is made of Pseudo-Celestial Energy.
After about fifteen minutes with the Tome, Vincent confirmed that the awakened item was able to complete its digestion and gained a reward.
[ The number of targets I can devour has increased by 20. ]
"That sounds great… However, it would be better if your mana capacity has increased instead."
[ I probably need to consume more… ]
"Yeah…" Vincent just nodded at this as he decided to keep the tome in his system inventory…
He didn't really want to keep it outside since it's not a very durable item. Its durability is only similar to some Pseudo-Legendary and perhaps some bottom-level Legendary Items.
If a Celestial Being targeted it, it might be easily destroyed.
After completing all this task, Vincent finally decided to remove the formation barrier in his residence, and as soon as he did this, the people who has been waiting for him noticed this change.
