Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Are we going to fight here?" Agatha asked Number 95 after looking around in the small arena not too far from their residence.

"Yes. It's not being used right now since the Manipulators are all cultivating during this time… They won't return for another three or four hours." Number 95 answered as she could tell what they were thinking.

Vincent's group seem to have entered the military grounds but they didn't see a single person. No guards, servants, or other Manipulators outside. It was quite unusual considering there is such a large arena close to them.

After Number 95 replied, they shifted their senses to the other buildings and they finally felt the presence of humans.

If not for Number 95's words, they'll probably think that these people were deliberately hiding from them.

"Are you sure that it will be two versus two? You guys are Celestials so the intensity of your battle might destroy this arena." Vincent asked.

He checked the stage with his senses and confirmed that aside from being a little durable, he didn't feel any Formation Arts placed on it and within their surroundings.

It means that once the Celestials started to fight, the people who would be watching them would have to protect themselves.

"Don't worry… The arena can be easily replaced. As for the observers, there will be Crystal Tier Automatons that will protect you all from danger, if there's any…" Number 106 replied.

"Crystal Tier?" Vincent repeated.

The Crystal Tier is a rank higher than Gold Tier. He was curious about this automaton so he swiftly used his system's Item Sense Ability…

It didn't take long for him to notice that there is actually an invisible and floating automaton above the arena! Based on the feedback from his Item Sense Ability, it was in the shape of a turtle!

It is an Invisible Floating Turtle! Furthermore, Vincent was able to find two more of them forming a triangular formation.

Number 95 and Number 106 noticed that Vincent was looking at the invisible Crystal Tier Automaton and they couldn't help but feel surprised.

After all, even Celestial Beings like them would fail to notice this automaton with their normal senses. They would have to at least focus on its specific spot for about 10 to 20 seconds before they could notice something was off.

"You found it?" Number 95 asked.

Vincent didn't answer immediately as he thought of what to reply.

"Hmm? What am I supposed to find?" He probed.

He has to be careful. After all, he knows that being able to see through this level of deception may bring trouble.

It may also be to his advantage if they don't know that he can see through this level of invisibility.

Number 95 and Number 106 could only shake their heads after seeing how Vincent replied.

"Nothing… It's alright."

The two then shifted their gaze to Luna and Agatha as they repeated the rules of the duel.

There is no need for killing or even critically injuring their opponent. However, no one is allowed to surrender. The match will only end if they were incapacitated.

Vincent frowned at this rule but since Luna and Agatha agreed, he didn't voice out his opinion.

Anyway, he still saved 20 potions for the Celestials. They can easily replenish their Celestial Energy if needed.

***

Luna and Agatha stood side by side and about 20 meters away from them were Numbers 95 and 106. The latter group was still wearing their scholar robes hinting to them that these robes were indeed meant for battle and not just for fashion.

Luna didn't summon her Bloodstone Armament immediately and instead, pulled out a dark blade that Vincent had Transcended a while ago.

On the other hand, Agatha showed her two short blades… She doesn't have a proper stance and the blades weren't even pointed at her opponents but on the ground.

As for Number 95 and Number 106, they were both using a jade fan… They were both alluring and seem like courtesans in the large cities…

"Alright… I'll flip this coin and as soon as it hits the ground, the battle will begin…" Number 95 said as she pulled out a silver coin…

Seeing that there were no objections, she no longer waited and flipped the coin…

Clang!

As soon as it hits the ground, Vincent realized that Luna had activated a piece of magic equipment that she shouldn't have…

Electric Shock!

Two of them were thrown at the same time to greet Number 95 and Number 106…

That's right, Luna is using the Static Pearl Necklace that he had given to Millie!

It is the Pseudo-Legendary Necklace that Ariana was using but after he had enhanced and ascended it to Legendary Grade this equipment, he gave it to Millie as his promise to give Legendary Tools to his loyal subordinates.

He didn't expect that Millie would let Luna borrow it from her…

"Hehe… You said that those two have over 40 Magic Tools combined… It wouldn't be fair if Miss Luna and Miss Agatha only has six for each of them." Millie noticed Vincent's gaze so she immediately replied.

Bang! Bang!

The Electric Shock reached its target but they were blocked by something…

Buzz… Buzz…

Electric Sparks can be seen on the bodies of Number 95 and Number 106 and they were both frowning at this…

Vincent then recalled the natural suppression effect of electricity against magic tools… It seems to be capable of creating a temporary jamming effect on magic tools that aren't legendary grade or pseudo-legendary.

Suddenly, Agatha appeared behind the two… She almost didn't make any sound as she stabbed Number 106's back…

Clank!

Agatha hit her successfully but it feels that she just hit a stone… Their soft-looking robe can actually become as tough as a rock!

"Not bad…" Number 106 commented as 20 flying daggers suddenly floated above her…

Agatha realized that she was too close and would have difficulty dodging these daggers.

She attempted to jump away but to her surprise, the ground floor she was stepping on suddenly turned soft.

Whooshh~

The daggers finally made their moves as they dashed toward Agatha attempting to put holes all over her body…

Nevertheless, Agatha wasn't panicking as she briefly glanced at Luna… She finished her preparation and was about to make a move as well.

Agatha succeeded in bringing their attention to her!

"Go! I can take these!" Agatha shouted afraid that Luna would hesitate to strike because she was close to the two opponents…

At this moment, Number 95 realized that Luna was suddenly shrouded with a deathly aura alarming not only her but also the Crystal Tier Automatons that were observing them.
