Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Half an hour had quickly passed and as Vincent was thinking of grinding his skills while waiting for the Sage, he finally felt Nerissa's presence getting closer.

She was accompanied by the two Celestial Beings a while ago and there is someone else that was shrouded with magical fog or some sort of energy that blocks him from sensing anything beyond that.

Perhaps, if it wasn't for his special status as a Blessed, he wouldn't notice this other person at all.

If he would make a guess, she was probably the mysterious Sage Vivian.

He has many questions for her so it was obvious that he was quite excited to meet her.

As soon as they entered, Vincent retracted his senses and looked at them with his eyes.

​ Soon, she saw the woman who really has semblance with him!

She was certainly beautiful but the light in their eyes was quite similar to his. She's wearing the same style of scholar robe that Number 95 and 106 wore but the one she's wearing has a much simpler design. It has plain blue and white colors. There weren't even some patterns woven on it.

Nevertheless, if someone saw their group, they'll be able to easily tell that she's the leader of this small group because of the aura around her.

Her presence was quite mysterious… If you closed your eyes and only use your normal Mana Sense, you would fail to sense her presence. She was like a ghost and it doesn't feel like she was there at all.

Vincent stood up to show respect to the Sage and he greeted her group with a polite tone.

"I'm Vincent Kayser. Thank you for meeting me tonight despite your busy schedule."

"It's fine… You've probably noticed so I'm sorry for meeting you like this. I'm monitoring someone and I can't leave my room during this time so I can only send my projection to meet you." Sage Vivian said in a somewhat monotone voice.

'Ahh! No wonder I can't properly sense your presence.' Vincent thought as he looked at Ronan who nodded his head.

"She's indeed Sage Vivian..." Ronan said.

"Alright… I'm fine with it… First of all, are we related?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Before I answer that, I want everyone else to leave this room. It's better if we only talk about this topic by ourselves." Sage Vivian said.

"That's true…" Vincent agreed as he signaled for the others to leave.

After a few moments, only Vincent and Vivian were left in the reception hall.

Even though Vivian is only a projection, she is also seated opposite Vincent like she's really a real person.

'No… She might even be a real person and was only saying that she's a projection as some kind of trick to misdirect her enemies. She's probably being careful in case this is an ambush…' Vincent thought to himself.

After all, he just can't imagine what kind of magic she was using to make this almost-perfect projection.

Anyway, the truth doesn't really matter right now so Vincent continued with his question.

"Can you tell me now if you know something about my origin?"

Vivian paused for a moment as she looked at Vincent carefully…

"Hmm… I can't confidently answer that since we've only just met. However, you look like a Kayser so I think that you're my relative at some point. In any case, there are a few characteristics that might help us to identify whether you're a real Kayser or not."

"Characteristics? We're not going to test our blood or something?" Vincent asked.

Although there shouldn't be any DNA test here, this is still a magical world so he was hoping that even though they don't have a scientific method, there should be a magical method…

"As I said, I'm only a projection so I can't test it with our blood. In any case, if you're really a Kayser, you wouldn't have a decent talent to become a magician… At most, you should only learn Tier 1 Mana Arts. Are you a Master Magician, Adept Mage, or even an Archmage? There was no way the Celestials would follow you if you're only an Apprentice Magician, right?"

"What? Being terrible at Mana Arts is a sign of being Kayser?" Vincent reacted as his mouth went wide open. That was quite a shocking revelation.

It was also a terrible trait of a Kayser…

'Tsk… Perhaps it wasn't really a good thing to be a Kayser? Ugh… Did I get excited too early?' Vincent mused.

"Yes… That is one sign… Another sign is that we are all talented in Soul Cultivation… Oh, aside from that, there is a sign that you may not be aware of the answer."

"What is it?"

"There will be a meteor shower the night before the Kayser is born. Did you ask your parents whether there was one?"

Vincent could only shake his head at this.

"I wasn't sure about that. However, I certainly have terrible talent in Mana Arts… but I have solid Mana Cultivation. As for my Soul Cultivation, I've become a Tier 3 Aura Knight in just a few years of cultivation."

"Hmmm… I see…" Vivian slowly nodded.

"What kind of cultivation are you using with your soul?" She added.

"It was visualization method…" Vicent said.

"Oh? Which creature was it? Hmm… Perhaps a goddess?"

When she asked whether it was a creature, Vincent immediately had a confused look on his face so she realized that it might be a goddess…

"Yes… It is indeed a goddess…"

Vincent also found it interesting that there could be some sort of creature in some other visualization method.

"Hmmm… That's good too… But I'm curious how those two high-ranking Celestial Beings were following you even though you don't have a decent Blood Essence." Vivian muttered.

Everyone knows that the Blood Essence with the best quality will come from the young magicians who have incredible talent in Mana Cultivation…

"It's my secret… Anyway, since we can confirm that I'm highly likely one of the Kaysers, can you tell me what's so unique about our bloodline? Why did you say that there would be a meteor shower before we are born and why do we have terrible talent in Mana Arts?" Vincent asked curiously.

In the end, Vivian's answer could only shock him.

"You're right… You should probably know the answer… The reason is actually quite simple. Our family's bloodline is complicated. It had only appeared in the First Rapture…"
