Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 241 Vincent Vs Alexander ( 2 )



\'What\'s wrong with that staff? Every hit causes so much damage… The force behind his strikes doesn\'t even matter. It\'s definitely a legendary weapon. However, there was no such weapon in the list of Legendary Rank Items…\'

Alexander eyed Vincent\'s staff carefully. It was like it was made of normal wood although it seemed to have been burnt. He could at least tell that the type of wood that was used appeared similar to an Ironbark that is commonly used for practicing weapons.

Well, ironbark woods were quite weighty which is a perfect replacement. It can be easily carved into a weapon of your choice.

This is what he thought at first…

However, for some reason, he felt that Vincent made it seem like that so people will underestimate his staff.

That\'s right… He realized that Vincent is craftier than he thought!

He had definitely disguised that staff using some unknown method!

Alexander felt that what he was parrying is something made of steel instead of wood after all. The numbing pain in his knuckles is proof of that.

He couldn\'t accept that his Pseudo-Legendary Gauntlet was about to shatter into many pieces because of a black stick!

"Hey… Are you holding a Legendary Weapon? I\'ve never seen anything like that." Alexander said.

Vincent only smiled and didn\'t answer. As he was about to attack again, he heard Alexander speak again.

"If I win this duel, let me have that stick. If I lose, I will give you whatever you want…"

Alexander arrogantly said as it attracted the audience\'s attention. Since there is no time limit in the battle, he didn\'t mind talking to Vincent. Anyway, he\'s not really worried or desperate to perform really well in this competition.

For him, this is just a formality before he enters the core of the Black Tower Organization.

Vincent couldn\'t help but stop after hearing this arrogant statement.

\'Anything I want? Are you a god or something?\' Vincent ridiculed the young man in his mind.

Anyway, he decided to reply since he felt that this person wouldn\'t just ambush him while talking.

"Alright… I want an airship. Can you give me one?" Vincent said after thinking for a moment. He felt that asking for a Celestial Weapon is too difficult and that requesting an airship has a better chance.

Before the competition, he wasn\'t too confident about beating this person since he knows very little information about him. However, it\'s different now. He may not be confident of beating Magnus but Alexander is a different matter.

He might have to reveal a few more of his secret weapons to defeat him but he didn\'t mind doing that at all.

"An airship?! Hahaha! Alright. But you have to tell me whether that stick is a legendary item or not." Alexander replied.

Vincent raised his brows after hearing the young man\'s confident reply.

\'He\'s loaded, huh…\'

He then thought for a moment whether to reveal the rank of his cane. It might be used against him and he doesn\'t know what Alexander was thinking.

With that in mind, he replied.

"You will know once you defeated me… However, I can tell you now that this is a Soul-Forged Weapon…"

Vincent said with a smile.

As soon as he announced this, the audience was attracted.

"Soul-Forged Weapon? There is a Soul-Forged Weapon that is so powerful?"

"Hmm… If I\'m not mistaken, Alexander\'s gauntlet was Pseudo-Legendary… Not any Soul-Forged Weapon could put so much damage on it. This must be a very special one."

"Indeed… Alexander is lucky. He can get a precious Soul-Forged Weapon."

"Whoa~ Is it already guaranteed that he\'s going to win? Our blind guy here might surprise you, you know?"

"It\'s too bad that there is no betting stand here…"

As the crowd was thinking of betting on their favorite, another shockwave occurred and it was stronger than before.

It was followed by a cracking sound as if something is about to be broken.

This time, instead of using the gauntlet mode to block Vincent\'s attack, Alexander used a Mana Art!

What Vincent struck just now is a floating black rock.

At first, he thought that it is a Magic Tool but seeing how Alexander retracted it, he realized that the rock was just a form of Elemental Mana Art.

It seems an earth elemental attack or perhaps close to being a metal already.

This is the first time Alexander had shown his mastery over elemental mana arts.

Alexander was just too reliant on his magic items in the previous fights so Vincent felt better that he was now resorting to elemental attacks instead. Forcing him to do this is one of his plans after all.

If he decided to just continue using his artifacts in the battle, Vincent\'s tactic would be to destroy these artifacts with his celestial dagger since they already received a \'crushing strike\' from the cane which had shaken their durability so it would be a lot easier to destroy them.

"Don\'t worry, Vincent… You have gained my respect… I won\'t be humiliating you even after crushing you!"

Alexander said as he used his Wind Element Mana Art to disrupt Vincent\'s movement.

Gale Force!

The Gale Force is a Tier 3 Mana Art that covers about a 10-meter radius from the caster. Within this radius, strong winds would trap anyone that is within the range…

This is a very good technique to deal with close combat fighters like Vincent.

However, this is something the latter wanted as well.

\'Good… I can feel it.\' Vincent smiled as he felt the gale pressuring him.

Now that Alexander is releasing his mana, Vincent can feel that thread of this mana connected to Alexander while he continuously cast the skill.

Vincent just remained in his defense relying on his tough Nightbane Robe and his Magic Tools to resist this elemental domain…

He then saw Alexander coming closer.

Right now, Alexander is not using the Gauntlet and switched to a pair of daggers.

Well, he\'s not a Grand Magus after all.

He can\'t cast another Elemental Mana Art after activating the Gale Force.

Instead, he\'s planning to use his Magic Weapon to defeat Vincent.

It was a good plan but unfortunately, his opponent is Vincent.

\'Alright… This is enough.\' Vincent thought as focused his mind to cast a single Tier 1 Mana Art.

After feeling and familiarizing himself with the thread of mana leaking out of Alexander, he can now use the strengthened version of this Tier 1 ability!

The touchless Mana Drain!
