Because of how Vincent suddenly used his Celestial Armor, the hidden Tower Master had to pause in his attack for a moment…
It seems that he was also surprised by how Vincent was able to use this Celestial Armor.
Needless to say, as a Tower Master governing a large piece of land and owning a mountain of wealth, he also had Celestial Beings with him before and he had tried wearing this armor as well.
Unfortunately, it never worked for him or in other experimental subjects.
Not even the 15th Tower, which has the best research equipment, was able to discover the mystery of this armor. No one can modify it to make it suitable for magicians or even recreate a similar armor.
The most they could do is to create automated armors that only have 8-10% of the Celestial Armor's capabilities.
"So a human found a way to wear a Celestial Armor, huh… I wonder if it retained its original properties…"
The 14th Tower Master said as he summoned several Mana Bullets ago…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vincent did his best to find the origin of these strikes but unfortunately, his opponent seem to be capable of forming Mana Bullets even from afar.
The Tower Master might not even be here anymore and was just watching him from 100 kilometers away.
'Ugh… This is so frustrating…' Vincent grumbled as he ignored some of the shots and dodge those that he can see.
Although he can just ignore those Mana Bullets being thrown at him, it feels like he was doing his enemy a favor if he just stands there without doing anything.
Vincent looked at the battlefield field with corpses… They are the Dragon Riders that fell from the sky… They were either crushed by their own weight or crushed by the mounts that toppled over them.
It is such a tragic sight as none of the corpses were in a good shape… Nevertheless, what was troubling was the thick scent of blood that is covering the whole area…
Vincent felt quite worried that it would attract a wave of Savage Beasts or even Magic Beasts. After all, their City's Formation Barrier would take a long time to be repaired.
'Tsk… Did he leave already? I can't sense him with my Item Sense or Aura Sense… Is he too far from here? How did he even defend against my Anti-Magician Shooter?' Vincent could only complain in his mind since he doesn't know when the opponent will suddenly attack.
This is one of the most troubling situations that he had experienced.
Perhaps, if Tara was here, she would be able to find this Tower Master without any trouble…
Vincent took a deep breath as he cleared his thoughts… His armor is continuously using up his Pseudo-Celestial Energy so he has to do something about his situation.
He closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated his energy on them…
3 seconds… 5 seconds… 10 seconds…
After reaching twenty seconds, Vincent opened his eye again and looked around… This time, Vera's gift to his eyes was activated…
It is the Peak of Mana Sensitivity…
Soon, he found a large amount of mana gathering behind a hill 400 meters away from the city.
Furthermore, there is actually a formation art there that is hiding this aura from him! No wonder he couldn't sense anything in that location.
It was a very mysterious formation art considering how his Item Sense couldn't penetrate that barrier.
'No, perhaps he wasn't wearing anything high-level Item so I didn't notice?' Vincent thought as he could not believe that his System's Skill would fail him at all.
'Ahh… Did he notice that I sensed his presence?' Vincent mused as knows he himself would feel if someone managed to peek through him.
It might be the same for the Tower Master.
He watched the energy for a moment and confirmed that it remained calm and steady. It means that the Tower Master should be unaware that he was already discovered.
Suddenly, three Mana Bullets were formed around Vincent in a triangular formation… This time, these bullets were larger and even spinning so much that it is starting to affect the surroundings.
A wind vortex was suddenly formed behind these Mana Bullets before suddenly rushing on him…
'So he took his time to create this, huh… No wonder his attack was delayed…'
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two Mana Bullets were avoided easily but the third one seem to have a mind of its own and changed its trajectory hitting him squarely on his head.
Bang!
It didn't hurt him a bit but the Tower Master was probably satisfied with this result… After all, if he could hit him once in his head, he only has to be patient and repeat the process until Vincent's armor was gone.
'Alright… I should end this now…' Vincent thought as he pulled out one of his Magic Tools.
He can't let the Tower Master escape again so he wore his Basilisk Gauntlet after retracting the Celestial Armor. The consumption would just be too much if he continue wearing it.
Anyway, it has been quite a while since he used this gauntlet so he felt that he has to warm up for a bit…
He waited for another set of Mana Bullets to come at him before he blocked them with the gauntlet and punched a few of them…
"Vincent… I tried looking for the Tower Master but I can't tell where he is… He must be using a high-level item to hide his presence. I think we should focus on defense and build another City Barrier for now." Thyrus suggested as he saw Vincent getting targeted by Mana Bullets that are forming out of nowhere.
The others had the same thought as they felt that if they were together, these Mana Bullets wouldn't hurt anyone. They wanted to at least cover for Vincent to defend against these Tier 2 Mana Art.
Vincent shifted his gaze for a moment and realized that there are many soldiers around who are indeed watching him with worry…
Although he is wearing the Celestial Armor, they felt worried for him since the Mana Bullets just keep appearing and they can't find its source.
"There's no need… I will finish him off now." Vincent replied with a confident smile as he looked at the hill from afar...
He activated his boots' movement speed buff and he arrived at the hill in just a few seconds…
As soon as he reached the area where the Tower Master was, he no longer hesitated and punched the ground with all his might…
"Come out!" Vincent shouted as he triggered the Legendary Item's Active Skill…
Groundbreak!
