Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 599 Diamond Tier Manipulator ( 2 )

Bang! Bang!

The last bullet can no longer be blocked by the small automaton. The bullet didn't just penetrate the Automaton but it continued piercing the black-robed man!

"Careful! Aaah!"

"No! Dodge it!"

"H-he's dead?"

"This stupid Manipulator why is he even using a weak Automaton?!"

The audience's reactions were divided after seeing that the bullet pierced through the Manipulator's body. They didn't expect that Vincent's mysterious weapon was so powerful!

Although some of them already learned of his pistol thanks to his participation in the hunt of the members of the Creed, they didn't think that it was this exaggerated!

Diamond Tier Automatons didn't last long and even the famous Sir Roel was killed!

'He's not dead yet…' Vincent frowned as he realized that even though his bullet pierced through the body of his opponent, no blood or flesh was scattered.

His Legendary Bullet has Crush Attribute so it's impossible to have a clean and silent effect when hitting a target.

Bang! Bang!

He pulled the trigger again to find out the man's secret. However, Roel seems to have recovered quickly as he dodges the bullet by using a movement technique that allows him to move unpredictably.

As Vincent realized that he already emptied his magazine, he felt one of the invisible Automatons starts moving…

It emitted a strong fluctuation of energy so he didn't miss its tiny movement.

Boom!

The humanoid automaton descended and stood in the middle of the two fighters.

This automaton was quite slim and has two short blades. It doesn't seem to have other weapons aside from these blades. Based on this appearance, Vincent can guess that it's an agility-type swordsman or perhaps an assassin.

Vincent smiled as he was unsurprised by its appearance. He simply changed his magazine and continued firing…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With these three continuous shots, his attention was successfully shifted to the Humanoid Automaton, due to this, he failed to notice Roel's movement behind it.

In the meantime, the Automaton seems to have expected his attack as it swiftly deflected the bullets.

"Hmm? You can do that?" Vincent muttered as he realized that the automaton has a method to save itself from sure death.

In his mind, he believes that as long as his Legendary Bullets hits the target, they'll be certainly destroyed.

Even if it was stopped, he believed that it can only be done by another Legendary Item but even if that was the case, it should still consume plenty of durability points.

However, he can tell that the humanoid automaton's blade wasn't only undamaged but it seems to be getting stronger.

As he was about to try one more time before switching his tactic, he felt that the second Diamond Tier Automaton was about to descend!

Vincent jumps sideways without looking at the Automaton…

Boom!

The moment he left his position, another humanoid automaton that is bulkier than the other appeared. It is carrying a shield and a halberd like a true warrior.

The shockwave and quake caused by the descent put Vincent in an awkward position as he missed his step.

"He survived that... Finally, his real Automatons are here!"

"The combination of the Windwalker and the Legionnaire!"

"There's no way to defeat these two…"

"I wonder how long this little guy would last."

As Vincent was calculating his next moves, he also heard the words of the audience and their sigh of relief. Some of them even seem to forget that Sir Roel should've been shot by one of his bullets.

'Windwalker and Legionnaire?' Vincent repeated in his mind. He can guess that the assassin-type automaton seems to be the Windwalker while the warrior is the Legionnaire.

As he thought of this, he heard someone's footsteps approaching him.

Boom!

Roel swiftly appeared next to him and tried to stomp his head…

"Hmph!" Vincent didn't try to defend himself as he used his Ghost Step to put some distance from Roel.

Roel didn't bother catching up to him as he looked at Vincent curiously. This time, Vincent can finally see some features on his face.

A burn mark reaching from the bottom of the right cheek, running towards the left side of his lips, and ending above his left eye leaves a deep impression on Vincent.

Realizing that his face was revealed to Vincent, he smiled at him and spoke with his deep voice.

"I didn't expect that you can dodge that second descent. Do you have eyes on top of your head?" Roel asked as he looked at Vincent with solemn eyes.

"No… I'm just sensitive to the changes in the airflow." Vincent lied as he stepped back while observing the two Automatons who are already circling him.

"I heard that you had also obtained some Automatons from the Eternal Sun Peak. Aren't you going to bring them out?"

"Hmm? I've barely cultivated the meditation technique I got from the Sage…" Vincent replied with a helpless smile.

He had truly tried cultivating his mind as well but the time he had spent was just too short. There was no way he could get a decent result from that.

Nevertheless, this answer didn't make Roel relax as he realized that Vincent is still hiding something.

Roel's thoughts quickly raced as he considered what Vincent was relying on to be so confident today!

If Vincent was not intending to fight using a powerful Automaton, he must have another secret that made him confident of facing a Diamond Tier Manipulator!

With this in mind, Roel no longer hesitated as he controlled his automatons to kill Vincent! He even followed up behind them for a finishing move.

Whoosh!

The Windwalker rapidly moved and slashed at Vincent's neck…

However, it was shot several times!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Automaton deflected the bullets again as they crushed the floor of the arena.

At this time, the Legionnaire arrived on time. Its halberd came slashing down on Vincent's spot…

"Tsk… Cube… It's all up to you…" Vincent muttered as his body was instantly covered by the Celestial Armor!

Roel and the audience didn't even have the time to be shocked as Vincent stopped all the attacks coming at his body.

Boom!

The halberd was stopped by the armor but the impact was quite strong sinking Vincent by about 6 inches on the ground.

Thud! Thud!

The attacks of the two Automatons landed but they seem to have weakened a lot as if they only touched Vincent's armor!
