Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Millie nodded as soon as she heard Vincent's words. She's confident that he can survive against the Celestial even if he might fail to defeat her.

'Good luck…' She said her mind as she made her move.

She swiftly jump to the side to give them some space and as expected, the Celestial just ignored her and focused on Vincent.

Millie can only trust him at this point. Anyway, there is also Agatha waiting on the side… She may just be standing there but she's actually monitoring the three other Celestials to ensure that no one interrupts Vincent's battle.

If they still dared to attack, Agatha would no longer show mercy and kill them using her blade.

In the meantime, Vincent immediately felt the pressure coming from the Celestial in front of him.

'Bring it on…' Vincent thought as he gripped the dagger in his hands.

Thanks to his incredible vision, he knows that this Celestial is Number 85 while the other one he defeated with Millie's help was Number 36…

Supposedly, his opponent right now should be weaker than Number 36 but the pressure she's emitting says otherwise…

The Celestial in front of her can actually pressure him even though he's already wearing the Source Cube's Protective Suit mode.

It was quite baffling but he has no time to think of it…

Number 85's weapon was a stick or perhaps, a baton that seems to be made of white jade… At first, Vincent thought that it was a wand to help her cast Mana Arts, but as soon as she tried smashing him with it, he realized that it was really a baton…

Buzz… Buzz…

Her slashing move was accompanied by a tearing sound as if the space around it was being destroyed!

Vincent didn't dare to block it with his armor since there might be some sort of vibration that could hurt him inside his armor.

He tried backing away but he realized that he can't match her with her speed so he had no other choice but to parry it with his dagger…

Thud!

The dagger was his Soul-Bound weapon, the Astral Night Dagger which was made of Mavis Iron. It may not be his toughest item but it should be able to withstand a few attacks from this Celestial.

The collision between the two weapons was so powerful that Vincent believed that about 10 to 15 points of durability were gone just like that.

There was no way a normal Epic-Grade or Pseudo-Legendary Grade weapon can do that on his Legendary weapon with six special attributes. It also has full enhancements so its durability is one of the best out there…

Vincent frowned after noticing the weirdness of her weapon…

'It must be coated by a stronger and sharper Celestial Energy… I can't fight her like this…' Vincent thought.

He then pulled out another weapon. It is his Soul-Forged Ironbark Cane on his other hand. If durability is the problem, then he can only use this Cane since this is the toughest one that he has that can be easily repaired.

After learning the Soul Forging Technique, it can be said that all Soul Forged Weapons in his inventory had become extremely valuable.

After all, as long as there is 1 Durability point on them, he can still repair them, unlike the other ones that aren't Soul Forged.

Celestial Number 85 noticed the appearance of a new weapon but she didn't mind it. She struck again with her baton aiming at Vincent's head…

Bam!

The cane blocked it swiftly and created another shockwave… Vincent felt that the cane was also damaged but he didn't take it to his heart.

Bam!

Another strike again but it was aimed at Vincent's liver…

This time, however, Vincent stabbed his dagger… He didn't use the Assassinate or the Haunting Hymn skill. It was a normal stab to send her back and it was quite effective…

He blocked with his Cane and stab with his dagger.

He wanted to follow up and fight in close combat… Unfortunately, he found out that his Pseudo-Celestial Energy started becoming unstable…

'What?'

He was confused… He still has plenty of Pseudo-Celestial Energy so he shouldn't be suffering from energy exhaustion…

He also has rings and amulets that passively protect him from poison or foreign energy attacking his insides without his knowledge.

In the meantime, Celestial Number 85 didn't wait for Vincent to recover as she used her baton again…

This time, Vincent already knows that she wasn't just swinging her white jade baton like an incompetent Celestial… The baton seems to have an effect that makes his Pseudo-Celestial Energy unstable… He can't properly muster strength so he was heavily relying on his item skills right now.

It may not sound bad but his Pseudo-Celestial Energy is actually very important in his battle at the moment. It naturally protects his internal organs, muscles, and skin after all.

Without this, the shockwave or impact from each of his opponent's strikes would be more painful to him. It will also disrupt his supply of Pseudo-Celestial Energy to his Armor!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Three more exchanges occurred and Vincent failed to land a clean blow with his dagger strikes and cane strikes…

Although the baton looks like it will break any moment now… It actually succeeded in disrupting Vincent's energy flow as his armor was forcefully canceled.

That's right! The Source Cube: Protective Suit Mode was forcefully canceled! This had never happened before to Vincent.

Celestial Number 85 found an opening and was about to stab Vincent in his heart! She seems to be planning to kill him similar to how Joran was hit…

Vincent noticed this so he obviously can't allow that to happen.

"Hey! I can't supply you with energy! Just use your own energy for now!"

[ Understood. ] The Sentient Source Cube answered.

Before his armor was even fully retracted, it suddenly started moving again and covering his entire body…

The Celestial was shocked as she can't believe that her plan has failed just like that.

"That's…"

"That's cheating… I know… But it's quite effective…" Vincent said with grin on his face.

This time, he finally decided to use his Dagger's third skill.

Haunting Hymn…
