Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent realized that the white-haired Celestial noticed Calidia's unique body.

He hesitated for a moment since Professor Levent is still with them. He's unsure whether it is alright to let her know about Calidia's origin and about the 15th Tower's project. With this in mind, he decided to delay introducing her and told her that he'll explain after they went out.

"Professor Levent… Thank you for helping us here. I really appreciate it."

"It's fine, Vincent… I'm sure that you can ask your Master for help as well but you decided to come here instead… Haha… Am I more trustworthy than Ignacy?" Levent teased.

"Well, you can say so… If you need my help in the future, just let me know…" Vincent answered as he really felt that Levent can be more trusted than his master who seemed so fixated on his reputation.

After hearing that she can even request Vincent's help someday, Levent actually felt excited as she looked at Tara and Rem. Obviously, asking for his help will also allow her to ask for the two Celestial's help!

"I will remember that, Vincent…"

"Of course…"

Soon, their group started going out of the dungeon… Although the dungeon has become quite messy after the Golem rampaged, it wasn't a big deal for Professor Levent as her formation art includes Earth Element that could control the terrain of its surrounding area.

"Hmm? Is everything alright, Krusk?" Vincent asked after noticing that the young River Dragon was silent. They have just gone out of the dungeon…

"Check this thing…" Krusk said as he handed over one of the golem's cores to Vincent.

To be honest, he had already seen numerous cores like this so he wasn't really interested and he didn't even appraise the core he received from Celestial 80. At most, it will just be a bit stronger than the previous ones he appraised.

Nevertheless, he decided to appraise the core as Krusk requested.

It barely consumed his energy after all.

[ Appraisal has been successful. ]

[ You have discovered an Unintelligent Golem Core]

[ Unintelligent Golem Core ]

[ Durability: 20/20

Pure Mana: 1800

Talent: Devour

Description: The Golem's source of life, magic, and intelligence.

Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. ]

[ Devour: Any being that has this talent can get stronger after consuming another Core. ]

"This…" Vincent realized why Krusk wanted to show it to him.

Normally, a golem's core is just a type of brain where all kinds of commands are stored… It is a bit similar to Formation Core.

However, this golem is completely different.

'Devour!'

This is the first time he had seen this appearing on a golem core! Normally, there wouldn't be any 'talent' option for Golem Core!

This shows that the golem from the dungeon was really something special.

It also finally made sense why Krusk was being chased by the Golem!

It probably wanted to consume Krusk's Mythical Beast Core.

His core is certainly very attractive to be devoured. Unfortunately, it doesn't have good intelligence so it made a bad decision of confronting all of them. The golem doesn't know when to retreat or wait for an opportune time.

,m "How was it?" Krusk asked.

"The golem has a skill called devour… With that skill, it will get stronger once it consumed another core."

"Just like what I thought… I don't have any appraisal skills like you but I can tell that this core is very dangerous. Take it… I don't want that close to me." Krusk said with a hint of disgust at the said item.

He was previously planning of keeping it since he was able to suppress or stop it from exploding, but since the core has an evil skill hidden inside, he didn't feel comfortable pocketing the core.

"Alright, I'll keep it then, just tell me if you want something. I also heard how you assisted Yasin and Caesus to ensure that they won't catch the plague… so don't hold back when. As long as I can help you, I'll definitely do so."

"Ho? Then, can you give me an aircraft? I want something similar to Vermillion Hawk that you have but change its color." Krusk immediately stated his request. It was as if he has been thinking of this for a long time now.

"Ugh… That has to wait for a while. It's a bit too expensive for us right now." Vincent wryly smiled after hearing the request. There are only three companies capable of building flying vessels within the Black Tower Territory, so they are certainly very expensive right now.

"Alright… I will wait for it then… Or maybe I'll change it to a different request." Krusk said softly as he seemed to be enjoying the fact that he will be receiving a gift from Vincent soon.

Their group then continued heading back to the Stellar Residence. Thanks to the potions they started selling, the security was no longer as strict as before. They just needed to confirm whether they have Black Decay or not and if they'd taken the Fairer Potion.

There is no need to get into a long line to let the inspectors search their whole aircraft and confirm their identity one by one.

As soon as they returned, they were welcomed by Severin and the others…

Severin, who was always busy creating potions, can be seen excitedly looking at the white-haired woman behind Vincent's entourage.

He was already informed about the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber so his excitement was understandable.

They might have another Celestial Being that would protect them after all! To be honest, the rumors of the Barbarians starting to invade the Black Tower Territory have been going on for a few days now.

Although they weren't really entering the vicinity of the 36 Towers, they have been sighted in some hunting grounds within the Black Tower's jurisdiction.

This made them a bit worried if ever Vincent decided to purchase his own territory… Nevertheless, with the addition of this Celestial Being, they feel safer once they are separated from the First Tower.

***

After a while, Vincent called for Calidia, Caesus, and Vel in the meeting hall together with a few others.

"Incredible… How many are they?" Celestial Number 80 asked referring to the Followers of Qheglena who all has unusual physique.

"There are sixteen of them…" Vincent answered before he shifted his gaze to Calidia.

He introduced her to the Celestial and allowed her to tell her story of how they got captured, experimented on, and met Qheglena in their escape…

Caesus and Vel helped her add some detail to the story as the Celestial's face darkened. She obviously didn't like what happened within the 15th Tower.
