Ignacy's recovery boosted everyone's morale. Even though he's no longer the Tower Lord, it doesn't mean his strength had diminished.
Although he lost the treasures that only the Tower Lord can possess, he is still a Grand Magus capable of casting eight Mana Arts at the same time!
He is a genuine Octa-Caster! There was even a rumor that he can already cast nine Mana Arts at the same time…
Furthermore, Ignacy didn't just master the normal elements but also the Spatial Magic which is extremely rare.
As a matter of fact, Vincent doesn't know anyone proficient at this element except for his Master.
A couple of days passed and Ignacy felt so much better.
During this time, he already met Faviona and sincerely thanked her for making the potion. He had given her an amulet that can save her life during a critical time.
"There's still room for improvement… Do you want to have a copy of the Black Tower's blueprint?" Ignacy asked as he stood on top of the Kayser Tower with Vincent.
They were overlooking the entirety of the Vera City as Ignacy wanted to appreciate the place that Vincent built by himself.
He also finished having a tour inside the Tower and noticed that there are still many missing parts in it.
Although the Tower has Mana Gathering Formation that supplies power for its operation, it doesn't have mystical abilities like what a Mage Tower should be. It was heavily relying on mounted armaments that they have created.
Vincent was stunned after hearing Ignacy's offer.
"Can I really get a copy of the Tower's blueprint? Wouldn't that cause some trouble?"
"What? The Black Tower is already in terrible condition. Not even half of the Tower Master remains. The enemy had also occupied some Towers we'd built… Giving you a blueprint isn't even enough to pay you back for taking care of me." Ignacy said with a smile as he pulled a long fabric scroll containing the blueprint of the Tower.
Vincent saw the scroll and even if he hadn't checked it yet, he knows that it was full of secrets that will make the Kayser Tower ten times stronger.
"If that's the case, I'll gladly accept it, Master. I'll make the best Mage Tower ever."
"Good… Good… I would like to see how you improve your Tower."
Vincent smiled after hearing this. It felt like a challenge as he couldn't help but be excited.
As he appraised the scroll, he confirmed that it is indeed an [ Advanced Mage Tower Blueprint ].
With this, he's certain that he would be able to protect his city from the incoming danger. Furthermore, he can even consider building another Tower or two!
Using that potion to cure him was really worth the price.
He then recalled something as he swiftly asked his Master.
"Right, Master… Are you planning to stay in the special dimension that you've made with the Tower Lords?" Vincent asked curiously. If possible, he wanted Ignacy to stay in the city since he knows that they can be safer if they have a magician who had mastered the Spatial Element.
That way, he would no longer be surprised if a portal opened above their city.
As far as he knows, Ignacy should be capable of sensing any disturbance in space allowing them to be prepared beforehand.
"I will open it for the Tower Masters involved in the project but I won't be staying there… We're not sure if the Black Magic Organization had really stopped expanding its territory or if they're only consolidating its strength. I need to personally visit the Martial Arts Alliance as quickly as possible."
"The Martial Arts Alliance?"
"Yes… According to Shane, the Paragons seem to have retreated after they killed one of them with Mikhail's help."
Vincent nodded at this since he knows that those Paragons were truly the mightiest Martial Arts Practitioners on the continent. They may not possess incredible Mana Arts, but they do have incredible techniques and weapons with them that can certainly destroy most Grand Magus and Grand Knights.
They were existences that can certainly change the balance of this war.
He already asked Luna about their incredible abilities and according to her, Celestial Number 6 seems to have been inspired by Number 5 and created a few Martial Arts techniques that surpass many Mana Arts that Number 5 had created.
Number 5 may be the best in research among the Celestials but it appears that Number 6 was the best in Martial Arts.
With this in mind, Vincent wasn't surprised that Ignacy would look for these people.
"Then, before you leave, Master… May I ask something?"
"Hmm? Go ahead…" Ignacy replied as he looked at Vincent who turned serious.
"Currently, I'm the only one who knows about the secret of the Potion you drank to get cured…" Vincent paused as he looked at Ignacy…
The latter seem to know what he was trying to say but remained silent.
"That potion has Soul Awakening effects. It has a small chance of unlocking someone's past life memories… So I'm wondering if you managed to awaken yours."
Vincent spoke as he gave Ignacy a bright smile. The latter grinned as well but he didn't reply…
After a while, Ignacy gave him a hint…
"I'm still me, Vincent. Don't worry… At the very least, I think I've gotten even stronger."
Vincent wryly smiled after hearing this…
It seems that he had really created a miraculous potion this time.
Vincent then decided to ask a few more questions to Ignacy that were not related to his secret. It is mostly related to his experience with the Avatar and how to deal with them…
Vincent also discovered that Ignacy knows about the Aether but he just didn't know what it was called.
Lastly, Vincent asked him about Ayla's condition. He retold what happened to her and this time, Ignacy frowned…
"You're telling me that Ayla briefly transformed and looked like a Celestial Being? Not even some random Celestial but one that you've first contracted?"
"Yes, Master… I've been really curious about this but since I can't understand what was happening, I decided to just keep silent about it. However, it's always bothering me… Do you have an idea, Master?"
Vincent shared his trouble. There was no way he would forget what happened to Ayla. Although he wasn't showing it, he was always thinking about this incident as it wasn't just too freaky but also feels like it was some sort of a key…
He feels that if he learned more about this, he would be able to uncover a huge secret.
"Hmm… You also mentioned that this Celestial Being was suspected by the others to have perished… However, it might just be a mistake according to them…"
"Yes, Master…"
Although Vincent wasn't hoping that he would really know what happened to Ayla, he couldn't help but look forward to his reply considering how he was pondering for quite some time.
It means that he might have an idea but he wasn't too sure or perhaps, he was trying to recall his past life memories!
Vincent just made a guess but he was quite excited now.
Ignacy looked into Vincent's eyes as if thinking whether he should say what he knows about the situation.
Vincent noticed this and immediately said…
"Master, you can just tell me anything you know. Even if it's just a guess… I don't mind even if it turned out to be incorrect after further research."
"I understand… However, can you tell me what the other Celestials said about this?"
"I asked the others but they seem to be clueless… Or perhaps, they weren't allowed to tell me for some reason. You know the Celestials as well, Master. They weren't allowed to tell certain things unless I'm the one who brought it up… As for the Celestial Being that was involved--I mean the one that Ayla transformed for a brief moment, she hadn't returned yet so I can't ask her for now."
Vincent explained.
Ignacy sighed after hearing this as he decided to just say what he knows about this situation. In any case, he wasn't even sure if his guess was right.
"I'm not particularly sure about this, but I seem to have read a few records about Celestial Number 1…"
"Eh? The strongest Celestial?" Vincent was shocked as he heard the Number.
There was no information about this Celestial at all. Well, this Celestial might even be in the front line right now under the Overseer's care so he may not meet her…
Not even Luna, his highest-ranked Celestial, knows about her whereabouts. It is more appropriate to say that all the other Celestials hadn't met any Celestial with a single digit yet.
Currently, Vincent only knows the location of one single-digit Celestial. That is the Celestial Number 9 that should be at the Tudor Kingdom's royal palace.
Nevertheless, he was curious as to what Ignacy was about to say.
"You're correct, Vincent. The strongest Celestial. As far as I know, the Celestial Number One's ability was cloning…"
