Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"We're done here…" Tara said as she wore the gray cloak that Vincent had enhanced for her.

Her group of three has now expanded to six after they successfully killed three Mana Practitioners who are contracted with Celestial Beings.

Recruitment was a lot easier after killing the Mana Practitioners after all.

Although Vincent probably wanted them to have a gentler approach to this mission, Tara believes that they would be more efficient if they decided to be forceful once they got rejected.

"Are we going to return now?" One of the Celestials in her original team asked.

"I think we need to recruit one or two more…" Another Celestial suggestion.

Apparently, Vincent had forgotten to give names to these two Unnumbered Celestials. He can only recognize them because of how they have short black hair which isn't common to the Celestial Beings and their bluish right arm as if that arm has been poisoned.

In the end, it was Tara who gave them names…

"We're not going to return yet… I'm even thinking of making another group… Alpha, I think you can take Beta and the other three to recruit more Celestial Beings while I go alone to increase our efficiency."

The other Celestials were surprised as soon as they heard her suggestion.

It didn't come to their minds that Tara would think of separating from them.

'Is she planning to escape from Vincent?'

'Should we consider escaping as well?'

The two had this idea for a few seconds but they immediately shook their heads after recalling the potions given to them.

Those potions may not be as good as the Mystic Link Serum that they would always use as a supplement before, but it certainly has the potential of becoming one if Vincent somehow modified it even further.

There was no way they would pass up this opportunity to regain their powers.

After a few moments, Alpha replied to Tara.

"I think that it's not a good idea. Sir Vincent ordered us to stick together… He mentioned that the Overseer might even attack us at one point. We need everyone's strength if we wanted to fight against the Overseer."

This reply confused the three other recruits who doesn't have any idea or news about the Overseer.

Nevertheless, they remained quiet as they felt that they would learn more if they just keep listening.

In any case, they also benefited from the potions that Vincent had made so they already know his name. Based on what Alpha said, it seems that their group was actually fighting against the Overseer!

It is quite unexpected since they were too busy regaining their Celestial Energy. They weren't aware of the situation outside the domain of their previous contractor so hearing this conversation was an eye-opener for them.

"Vincent is not here. We have to adapt to our situation. It has been several days and we only recruited three. It's too slow. I think that the five of you working together will be fine. In any case, you have the Enhanced Weapons by Vincent and potions as well. Even if you guys have to fight a Numbered Celestial, I think that you can easily win."

Tara answered as she really want to work alone…

In the meantime, Alpha and Beta were speechless at her reply. After all, they know that even if the five of them worked together, they don't have a chance of winning against Tara, the "weakest" Numbered Celestial in terms of rank!

How could they confidently think that they can win against other Numbered Celestial if they can't even beat her?!

They wanted to complain to her but in the end, the two of them looked together and nodded their heads.

"Fine… We'll let you go… Do you want to meet up after a few days?" Alpha asked.

"No need. I'll return to the city if I finished my recruitment."

"I understand… We will be heading in that direction then… Although it's close to the central part of the Black Tower's territory, there are many hidden groups there waiting for the re-emergence of the Tower Lord. We might find someone there." Alpha

In any case, if Tara left them, they can just laze around and perhaps attempt some recruitment if they were lucky to meet one. However, they'll just avoid fighting if possible since Tara isn't watching them.

As they were thinking of this, Tara suddenly spoke as if she could read their minds.

"Recruit at least two more Celestials. I don't expect much from you but if you managed to do that, I'll tell you the locations of two celestial weapons… Even if they weren't fated to you, you should be able to do something about it."

Tara suddenly revealed such precious information and the two can't help but be interested in such an offer. Their highest-grade item right now is the cloak that Vincent had given them. They don't have the Source Cube or celestial-grade weapon with them.

They were only using Epic-Rank weapons right now which is the best they can find.

If Tara can really give them the location of these Celestial Weapons, they would certainly take it for themselves even if the magic god's Avatar blocks them.

"Two more? That's easy… We'll try to double that. Don't worry, we won't slack off searching for our new companions." Beta replied with enthusiasm. She was already excited and wanted to leave to search for other Celestials.

"We will see each other again in the city… We will wait for you, Tara." Alpha added.

"Alright… Take these potions with you." Tara then handed over a bag of potions to Alpha containing about a hundred +8 and +9 potions.

After doing this, she immediately left to search in the opposite direction that Alpha had pointed a while ago.

The five Celestials can only look at her receding as they all have the same thoughts…

'She wasn't just planning to recruit other Celestials…'

They can easily tell from her behavior but the most important thing is that they noticed a bunch of humans in the direction she was heading at.

There was no hint of having a Celestial Being there but Tara was still heading into that area with a hint of excitement as if she found her prey!
