Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent is currently in his room as he continuously enhances the piled-up items on his workbench.

After getting three consecutive failures, Vincent would stop his enhancement as he believes that continuing with it is just a waste of his energy and time.

It has either reached the item's limit or it's already high level.

Apparently, Vincent had already noticed that certain items can't be further enhanced unless he Ascend them.

For example, Vincent is now holding Yulia's belt.

[ Vintage Newt Belt + 6 ]

[ Quality: Unique ]

With the quality of this weapon, +6 should be the normal limit. Of course, he can forcefully enhance it and reach +9 or even +10 but it would be extremely difficult. He would probably have to experience hundreds of failures for that to happen. It is too wasteful.

However, if he ascended this to Epic rank, he can reach +7 or +8 a lot easier. If he even Ascended it to Legendary, +10 can be easily done.

This is why he would stop his enhancement and consider whether to ascend the item to continue enhancing it or not.

Furthermore, Ascension also has another benefit. A chance to get a free attribute!

Although this is not guaranteed and probably a very low chance, it is still possible. Perhaps, he can say that it has a 1 out of 20 chance that the ascension gives a new attribute.

'I hope there will be a new attribute this time…' Vincent thought.

Since this is Yulia's belt, Vincent decided to Ascend it. He really appreciate the help that she had given him all this time so he wanted to give her the best item she could get.

[ No Ascension Crystals found. Do you want to Ascend this item with Mana/Pseudo-Celestial Energy? ]

"Yes…"

Vincent answered as he really has difficulty finding Spirit Stones or Ascension Crystals as recognized by the system. It doesn't mean that Spirit Stones are extremely rare. It is simply because no one is collecting them since people would barely earn anything from them. They are also quite heavy so no one would normally carry them around.

His only hope was perhaps the Alchemist Union where they are collecting all sorts of items.

[ Ascension Failed. ]

[ Ascension Successful. ]

Ascension takes a lot more mana than Enhancement but seeing the successful notification was all he needed.

He didn't even bother appraising it after hearing the notification as he continued with the enhancement.

"Good thing…" Vincent said with a smile. He thought that he was about to get three consecutive failures again…

This time, he finally felt satisfied and appraised the item.

[ Vintage Newt Belt ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 8/10

Durability: 450/450

Magic Resistance: 50

Charm: 20

Swift: 30

Description: An old but elegant belt made of Vintage Newt's essence and other materials. It has a natural fragrant scent suited for female users.

Remarks: Magic Resistance, Charm, and Swift attribute found. Durability and these attributes will increase in every successful enhancement. ]

There is actually a new attribute after the ascension.

"Swift, huh…"

This attribute is normally seen in small weapons like throwing daggers, arrows, or darts so seeing it on a belt is quite unusual.

In any case, it can probably be used as a weapon as well considering how tough it was…

The 450 points in durability can certainly flatten a steel pipe without taking much damage so referring to it as a weapon should be just fine.

Vincent then tried to enhance it again but as expected, he failed three times consecutively. He has to ascend it to Pseudo-Legendary to continue but he decided to stop for now.

Ascending from Epic to Pseudo-Legendary requires five times more energy after all. In this case, using Spirit Stones is a lot better since the success rate will be higher if there is a medium being used.

For now, he decided to enhance the other items to +8 and ascend to Epic.

While Vincent was busying himself inside his room, the Avian Lion finally returned.

Yasin parked it outside the estate since the Vermillion Hawk has occupied the space of the front court. Lar and others also had a small training area because of this.

Whoosh~

The hatch of the ship opened as Vel, Yasin, and Krusk came out.

They brought out several boxes of potion ingredients and even needed help from Lar's group to carry everything out.

They had truly busied themselves to purchase the potion ingredients needed for their business to be successful.

Thanks to this, Severin and his team can finally continue with the potion production.

"Is that the Mythical Beast that Vincent mentioned?" Millie asked softly after seeing the kid beside Yasin.

This kid is wearing a maroon cloak and surprisingly, even their Primal Sense can't pierce through its defenses… They can't even tell whether they are looking at a male or female Mythical Beast.

"Hmmm?" At this time, Krusk noticed their gazes and glanced at them curiously.

"New faces…" Krusk muttered as he decided to ignore them. In any case, he felt Vincent's Mana Fluctuations so he immediately went to visit him in his room.

To Millie and Ceri's surprise, the kid seem to have disappeared in a blink of an eye leaving a few traces of water droplets on the path he had probably taken.

They looked at each other in surprise as they have not expected that to happen. There was no doubt that that is indeed the Mythical Beasts that can only be heard in folklore.

"Incredible… I wonder whether it could still transform to its real form…" Ceri muttered. They both know that Krusk is supposedly a River Dragon after all.

"It's probably dangerous. Calidia said that Krusk might be captured for his blood and scales. So he's not allowed to transform except in places where no one can see him like inside the dungeon."

"Right… That's too bad…" Ceri said as they went to help the others to transport the items from the airship.

"Eh?"

As Millie went to help them carry the boxes, she noticed that aside from the boxes of potion ingredients, there is actually a huge metallic capsule inside.

She doesn't know what it is but it is certainly emitting an unusual aura…
