Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

The woman was dressed in a dark suit and a gray hooded cloak covering her body.

She wasn't that tall and was probably about 1.6 meters tall.

She walked closer to them and they saw her beautiful yet delicate facial features and she even looked weak at a first glance.

However, she had an imposing manner that makes her mysterious and dangerous.

Some of them found her familiar but they can't quite remember where they had seen her before.

In the end, it was only the Patriarch was able to recall this woman…

"Y-you're one of Vincent's contracted Celestial, am I right? Does it mean that we're close to Vera City? Right, did he send you here to welcome us?"

Leon immediately asked after recognizing the woman. As soon as he mentioned these, many of them finally recalled the woman in front of them.

However, instead of being happy, they immediately went on guard. They were clearly aware that the Zemin Clan and Vincent weren't on good terms.

It is even more surprising that the Patriarch was too calm in this situation.

As they waited for the Celestial to reply with a positive note, they saw her raise her arm with a weapon and swing it downwards…

Boom!

The force behind the strike was so strong that Leon and the three other Guardians has to work together to ensure that none of them gets blown away.

"H-hey! W-what going on? Did Vincent order you to do this?!" Tezcan asked in anger. He also wanted to wake up their Patriarch with his wishful thinking with this question.

Unfortunately, the Celestial Being did not think of answering them with words. It seems that she only wanted their destruction which is obviously something they can't allow to happen.

Bang!

She waved her weapon and twenty Magic Knights were blown away by this simple attack.

"Y-you're crazy!"

"This Celestial has gone mad!"

"We have to eliminate her!"

"Formation!"

Realizing that words don't work for the Celestial in front of them, they immediately change their tactics as they tried to eliminate her for real. However, they failed to react in time!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Celestial burst forward and slashed several Magic Knights… They were all unable to react to her incredible speed.

Most of their weapons were destroyed because of this and the lightest injury they have was a broken arm…

She had truly come here to eliminate them! It was so unreasonable that they can't even put a word to this madness.

Crash!

The carriages and wagons they brought were also destroyed because of her charge. It was like a herd of buffalo just passed by in their midst destroying whatever was left in their possession…

Soon, Lesley, who was in the middle of their formation, realized that the Celestial was looking at her with cold eyes…

Click. Click. Click…

The sound of mechanical gears was heard as she saw the Celestial wear her Celestial Armor making her even more dangerous.

'Not good… I'm being targeted.'

Lesley wanted to use her Fusion Arts to stop the Celestial but the surrounding Mana was chaotic…

The Guardians including her father are casting their Tier 5 Mana Arts making it difficult for her to use the Fusion Arts that she learned. Apparently, her fusion arts use external mana to manifest since the burden on her body would be too much if she tried manifesting them from her Mana Core.

Bang!

She retreated in haste after noticing the Celestial's attack but her bag containing precious materials was still destroyed… The Celestial in front of her is actually using a sheathed blade all this time!

She only noticed this after she had gotten closer to her.

'Why is she not using her blade? What is she thinking?!' Lesley can't understand the Celestial's mind. If she had come here to kill them, why not draw your sword?!

Unfortunately, she doesn't have the time to ask her as she needed to flee and get into safety first.

She took a glance at the three Guardians and her father and they seem to have completely transformed and were now chasing the Celestial…

Although it is said that there is no Magician that can equal a Celestial Being, it doesn't mean that the Celestials were unbeatable.

If one Grand Magus is not enough, they just had to add more until they were able to fight equally!

Furthermore, they know that Celestial Beings had limited energy and they won't normally use it all up during their battle.

With this in consideration, they believe that as long as they can fight her at a standstill, they will be able to win against her in just a matter of time.

"Stay here!" Tezcan shouted to get the Celestial's attention. He can't let her kill Lesley no matter what…

His left and right arms are in flames and although he wasn't in pain, his mana consumption was at an alarming rate!

He opened his palms and pointed them in the Celestial's direction. As expected, the Celestial noticed the danger from this attack but she can't just focus on him… The two other Guardians including the Patriarch had already surrounded her and were about to release their Tier 5 Mana Arts!

Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning!

This Elemental Art was at the extreme level that it wouldn't be surprising if the Celestial died from this attack.

Boom!

A series of explosions followed after as the area where the Celestial was previously at has now turned into a large crater… Scattered elemental mana art was still there but no members of the Zemin Clan were hurt.

They were already aware of their core members' powers so they swiftly retreated as soon as they noticed that they were using their Tier 5 Mana Arts.

"She's gone…"

Patriarch Leon said with a confused tone… He knows that the Celestial did not die from this attack. Instead, she had actually fled as if knowing that she has no chance of winning against them.

They can't feel her presence anymore...

"Her actions are too unpredictable… Although she injured many of our members, she didn't kill anyone…" Tezcan added.

"Perhaps, she's just buying some time? We might get attacked for real later on…" One of the Guardians said as he called off his Tier 5 Elemental Body Transformation… He won't be able to use this same technique for a few days so it was quite a shame that he has to cancel it after just a single attack.

"I don't think so… It feels more like she already accomplished her mission that's why she left." Lesley suddenly spoke as she held the remaining pieces of the items in her bag.

The patriarch including the guardians seems to have realized something as well as they checked the wagons…

As expected, some of their treasures are destroyed…

"What's going on? Did she just destroyed all our treasures related to the deities?"

Leon was shocked as he didn't think that a Celestial would actually think of targeting these things.
