Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent thought that Vivian was only an Astrologist with incredible power but it was actually just one of her many skills.

Apparently, Divination is still her main ability.

It was a pity that her Divination ability would actually consume her life force so she can't use it repeatedly.

Nevertheless, this allowed them to learn about the threat that the Creed has on them…

Although they ultimately failed to stop it from happening, they were able to delay the descent of the otherwordly beings.

They also learned how long it will take before the real invasion starts.

During this time, they will be able to prepare better Automatons and produce stronger Manipulators.

After talking about this, Vivian recalled something.

"Follow me… You wanted to see the relics of our Kayser Clan, right?" Vivian said as they finished chatting about the dangers surrounding the continent and her abilities.

"Ahh… I almost forgot about that. Yes, you mentioned that the relics you've found made you sure that we have connections with the Celestial Beings." Vincent replied…

He also gestured to the Celestials who followed him here to stay in the receiving room while speaking to Vivian.

Luna and the others obediently followed his instructions as they stayed behind.

"You're right… I can't really explain it since there is nothing like those in this world so it's better if you see them." Vivian said as she leads the way.

They went further inside her residence. Vivian opened three doors before arriving in what seemed like a study room.

There is a shelf filled with books on each side and a desk at the center of the room. There's also a carpet made of a huge lion's skin… The place looks normal to Vincent.

However, Vivian sat behind the desk and pressed something…

'Oh… A hidden room…' Vincent thought as he saw the left shelf move a little. Vincent almost failed to notice it if it wasn't for his sensitive vision.

Vivian stood up then walked to that shelf and pushed a book with a brown cover. Soon, gears started turning and the shelf made a path. A tunnel came into Vincent's view and he saw various lamps start lighting up…

Vincent appreciates that Vivian is willing to show this to him and couldn't help but give her an approving glance.

They entered the deep tunnel and stepped on the stairs going down…

After more than 10 minutes. They arrived at an extremely safe underground room… Vincent felt more than a hundred Formation Arts around this place and he believes that even Luna might have a hard time breaking through it without her weapon.

"It wasn't only the relics of the Kayser Clan stored here… Some of the best Diamond Tier Automatons I have is here as well." Vivian explained after noticing that Vincent was curiously staring at the various Formation Arts that were arranged.

Vincent's eyes lit up after hearing this.

The highest rank of Automaton he had seen was Crystal Tier… In his opinion, these Crystal Tier Automatons were really good since they could store Mana as well. They weren't just puppets that could fight in close combat but they could also release some Mana Arts.

As for the Diamond Tiers, he was looking forward to seeing some of them. If possible, he wanted to appraise a few of them.

Anyway, Vincent looked at the empty room and waited for Vivian to open another secret door. However, instead of opening a door, she deactivated a formation art instead.

Suddenly, the empty room was filled with treasures… Even the trapped energy poured out so he instinctively cast a Mana Shield on his body.

However, the energy that was released wasn't harmful at all and it was even refreshing…

It was some sort of concealing Formation Art that was removed.

'Incredible… What a high concentration of mana…' Vincent thought as he realized that the purity of mana here is denser than the one outside.

It was quite a magical experience.

It even feels like he was undergoing the Mana Baptism for a brief moment.

"Are you alright?" Vivian asked.

"Y-yes… I was just surprised…" Vincent answered as he looked at the items on the floor.

There were shelves and boxes inside. He can tell that all the items here are treasures.

He also noticed a dozen of human-like automatons and even though they are inactive, Vincent can feel the majestic aura coming from them.

He was also surprised to see some kind of generator in his previous life at the center of the room. Vincent can guess that this is the relic of the Kayser Clan… He wasn't sure what kind of device was that but it seems like a modern power generator or some sort of engine to Vincent.

However, what was even more surprising was the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber at the corner of the room!

'This…'

He had forgotten about the relics of the Kayser Clan and immediately asked about the chamber…

"Ehem… Sage Vivian… Are you aware of what this is?" Vincent asked pointing at the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber in the corner.

"Yes… I was told that it's an item used by Celestials. I even thought that a Celestial Being was inside this thing but I was told that it's empty."

"Oh… So it's empty… Why is it here and not being used by your Celestial?" Vincent asked. He assumes that the one who told her that it was empty was the Celestial Beings as well.

Vivian smiled and answered.

"It's a Soul-Bound item. It can't be used unless the Soul Link was disconnected. I'm not really sure how it works but it seems that the items of the Celestial Beings are all linked to their original user."

"Ahh… You're right… I forgot about it." Vincent scratches his head as he already knows of this.

As a matter of fact, Tara would remove this 'Soul Link' for Vincent so he can use Celestial Weapons and Armor.

"Right, can't you ask other Celestial Beings to remove the Soul Link so it can be used by other Celestials?"

"Huh? Not even Teresa is capable of removing that… She mentioned that it may be possible if they're still in Qheglena or if the Number 1 Celestial is still alive. But right now, removing Soul Link would be extremely difficult."

Vivian answered stunning Vincent for a moment. After all, she just confirmed that only Rank Number 1 can remove Soul Link!

Then, why was Number 999 capable of doing it as well? Was Tara really a clone of Celestial Number 1?

Vincent's breathing quickened as he felt that he had truly confirmed Tara's identity this time… He couldn't imagine that he was would be so lucky!
