Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent sighed.

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry so he decided to just keep the letter within his interspatial ring.

Unlike his Obsidian Treasure Box which could only store magic-related objects, the interspatial ring can target any non-living objects and store them inside.

It's a very convenient tool so Vincent can now store some of his necessities like food and clothes inside.

'In any case, whether he decided to keep his promise or not, it's not really a big deal… I only made that bet to satisfy him… If he reneges from the deal, he'll be the one suffering with his reputation, not me.'

Vincent thought as he continued watching the battle between Nadia and Elena.

Well, he's not just watching to entertain himself after all.

It's simply because he would be challenging Elena later on. If he knows her pattern or gets a rough estimate of her combat skills, it will be very fruitful for him.

In the meantime, while this is all happening, a group of people started looking at the two figures who were closely watching Vincent's movements.

The two were the Celestial Beings under Vincent's command. Tara and Rem.

Their presence seems to have attracted a group of Purple Emblem members of the Tower.

They were people with high positions within the tower and their presence here can be rarely seen. Gray, Yellow, Blue, Red, Purple, and Black…

They were the colors of the emblems from the lowest to the highest. In short, only the Tower Master and Vice Masters, who are allowed to wear the Black Emblem, have a higher rank than these group of people eyeing Tara and Rem.

It appears that the two Celestials weren't aware of this as they ignored their gazes and remained watching Vincent to ensure his safety.

"Hmm…. What do you think of those two?" An old man with a long white beard asked. The purple emblem on his right chest was dirty including his overall appearance.

Nevertheless, no one dared to disrespect him as the strong still rules this world.

There are six people within this group and he's considered the oldest and most powerful among them.

"Archon Florian, they were just weak Celestial Beings. I already consulted Number 725 and 780. They said that the two were most likely unnumbered celestials or they were above 950 if they were numbered. Nothing is interesting about them… At most, they could probably have some value if they possess a Celestial Weapon or Armor."

The one who spoke was Archon Cezary. Although he's also quite old like Florian, he would always dye his hair black to appear a bit younger in his perspective.

The two of them were the oldest member of this small group and they were all looking for new disciples they can groom in the future. They were like the others here who had attended this event.

Anyway, the Black Tower Organization has small groups of factions and most of them are led by the Archons…

Currently, in this group of six, five of them have a title of an Archon and one of them doesn't have a title yet since he's only a Tri-Caster.

Archon is the title given to a Grand Magus who is a Penta-Caster. Nevertheless, not all Purple Emblem members are at this level.

Thyruz, who is one of them, is the proof of this. He is the first person to notice Tara and Rem's unusual demeanor and recognized their identity as Celestial Beings. Nevertheless, he is considered to be stronger than Hausmer who is currently the Dragon Rider Chief of the Black Tower.

He eyed Tara and Rem once more before adding, "We might have to at least confirm their purpose here. I'm sure that they weren't just protecting that blind student. It's also impossible that both of them were receiving blood essence from him…"

After Thyruz said this, the others went silent as an idea came to their minds.

"Hmm… Perhaps they were looking for candidates they can contract with?" Florian said what was in everyone's minds.

They all looked at each other as greed can be seen in everyone's eyes.

"It seems that we are all thinking the same thing…"

"This is good, isn't it?"

"We're still unsure though… They came here escorting a young man already. Ehem… Nevertheless, I think we should still try."

There are only two Celestial Beings so it's impossible to share it with everyone. Furthermore, they were already old and their blood essence is extremely valuable for them to stay as Archons.

This means that the two Celestial were probably looking for two young and talented practitioners in this competition as well.

In short, they must make their current disciples get the contract for themselves. They needed to give them an opportunity if that was the case.

"Send someone to invite those two up here…" Florian said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh~ That's a good idea… We will see what they were up to and we'll also get our disciples to befriend them if it's possible." Cezary humbly said as everyone nodded with a smile.

,m The six of them immediately called their best disciples so they could meet the two Celestial Beings.

During this time, Vincent was still busy watching Elena slowly dismantling Nadia's fighting techniques.

Nadia is a skillful Master Magician who had the mastery over the Water and Earth elements… In addition, she had mastered Water Treading Steps and Earth Shifting to the Advanced State!

These two elemental movement techniques were incredibly useful in battle and to be honest, Vincent wanted to learn these techniques as well since they seem very useful in traveling especially the Earth Shifting Movement Technique.

It would allow you to easily escape in case you met a strong savage beast or magic beast as this particular movement technique is very silent unlike the Fire Dash with explosive sound, Wind Haste with the strong breeze, and Water Treading Steps with rippling effects…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unfortunately for Nadia, the Mana Bullets that Elena was using were incredibly fast and it doesn't seem to have a cooldown time.

Although Elena took a lot of time to pin her, she still managed to defeat her opponent after using over 40 Mana Bullets which is already quite impressive for the defeated Mana Practitioner.

Several rounds passed as Vincent's challenge was finally called.

"On the first stage, Vincent versus Elena!"
