Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Everyone here had an image of an Aura Knight as old people, or perhaps, at middle age if they are quite talented.

It's because they know how difficult it is to become an Aura Knight. Furthermore, most of the Aura Knights they have seen were already at this age. They have never seen a teenager that has developed his soul to this extent!

'This is incredible! Is he related to the royal family?'

'I wonder if he's hiding his true identity…'

The disciples of the primal sword sect started speculating.

They know that Soul Cultivation is an arduous path. If you aren't from the few families who have already strengthened their souls, you wouldn't inherit their strong soul force making it harder for you to develop yours.

In addition, without the Visualization Method to help with the cultivation, it's basically impossible to become an Aura Knight.

The worst thing about this is that not anyone can cultivate their soul even with the possession of a visualization method. Even reaching a single star is unlikely without enough talent.

However, everyone on the battlefield, friend or foe, just felt the Soul Domain that Vincent created!

It means that he's already a 3-Star Aura Knight at a young age!

'No wonder they weren't afraid of traveling in this area even without guards.'

'Just how old is he? Sixteen? Seventeen? How is it possible to have such a strong soul force without accumulating them for 30 or even 40 years? Is he really part of the royal family?'

Elder Han sighed as he couldn't help but be impressed. He then glanced at Tara who didn't seem surprised as he suddenly had an idea.

'If he's really connected to the royal family, then this woman should be his bodyguard… Don't tell me—'

Elder Han felt that he already realized their identity as he gulped silently.

"Hmm… No wonder the first team didn't manage to return… They brought an annoying one."

An alluring female voice as she appeared in front of the group. She carefully looked at everyone before stopping his gaze on Vincent.

There are a total of 4 wagons and 1 carriage brought by the Primal Sword Sect. As for Vincent's carriage, it is at the center of the caravan in front of the Sword Sect's carriage.

Vincent was simply able to move faster because he decided to ride a horse just like the other disciples. It is mostly because they have spare horses and he wanted to learn horseback riding. He didn't expect that he would be able to save a life because of this.

"Who are you?" Vincent asked as she looked at the red-haired lady in front of them.

She's a young lady in her twenties and she doesn't seem like an assassin or bandit at all.

She's wearing an open gray robe which shows her a seductive outfit. She's only covering her chest with a bandage showing most of her skin and tight black plants on her lower body.

This is Vincent's first time seeing this kind of outfit in this world.

Behind her is another group of people wearing black cloth armor and a red scarf tied on their arms.

He noticed that these people were somewhat affected by his domain but not this woman.

It's either she's a Soul Cultivator with strong resistance against Soul Pressure or she has a Magic Tool or even Artifact to nullify its effects.

The worst scenario is that she's just too strong and capable of blocking his Soul Pressure with her own might as Mana Practitioner.

"Hmph! You don't have to know! Just release this darn Domain!" The woman shouted as she finally revealed her real abilities, the temperature suddenly fell as blue ice started forming beneath her.

"Haa!"

With a shout, an ice lance suddenly formed and headed towards Vincent.

He wanted to just crush it with his Cane but a figure appeared in front of him.

"Foolish! Don't appear in front of me if you only have this skill!" Elder Han shouted as his sword erupted with powerful flame…

He has a similar elemental affinity with Yvette who similarly practiced mana-to-fire element conversion.

Boom!

The Ice and Fire collided creating a mist and blocking everyone's vision.

This is not a problem for Vincent since he already learned Soul Sense after reaching 2-Star Aura Knight. However, what surprised him was that the Primal Sword Sect's disciples were also able to move effortlessly within the cover of the mist!

'No wonder they dared to fight against the Barbarians, they're really the elites of the Sects.' Vincent was impressed by how they easily adapted to the situation.

He has barely even shown his skills.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two groups finally clashed. The disciples may not be using elemental techniques with their swordsmanship but Tier 1 and Tier 2 Mana Arts are being constantly used in the battle.

Daniel, who was the strongest disciple, can even form a fire sword every 10 seconds or so.

"Hmm?"

Vincent then focused his senses on the woman who was using Ice Element and realized that she was similarly capable of moving within the mist without any issues…

Elder Han wanted to fight her in close combat but she suddenly disappeared and headed in a different direction!

She seemed to be targeting the mysterious carriage alongside the Primal Sword Sect disciples!

"Not under my watch!"

Vincent used his Shrouded Steps as he intercepted the woman's path.

Bam!

His cane and her dagger collided creating a powerful impact that almost blew her away!

"W-what's with that strength?!" The woman had an incredulous look on her face after that single exchange. She then looked at her precious dagger that is still vibrating in her hands.

If she didn't step back and decided to fight it out with him, she was sure that her dagger will shatter at any moment!

This dagger is an Epic Weapon she inherited from the Lord of the Dark Sky Cult. It is also made of a precious metal called Mithril.

She immediately looked at Vincent's weapon because of this.

However, instead of seeing an Orichalcum or Adamantite weapon, she saw a wooden cane in his hands!

'Impossible! Even with his Aura, it shouldn't be an equal to my dagger… Something is wrong here.'

She wanted to launch another attack on Vincent.

'This must be some kind of a trick… I'll just beat him with my elemental skills.'

Whoosh~

Before she could make a move, someone from the Sect used a Magic Tool to blow the mist away by using a Wind Wave, a Tier 3 Mana Art that can be destructive if used excessively.

"Tsk…"

Seeing this, she decided to just use her trump card since she was already at a good distance to destroy the carriage.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

Three red throwing daggers that are giving off an ominous aura suddenly struck the door of the carriage!

This happened so fast that Vincent was even unable to see what happened until the daggers hit the carriage's door!
