Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 286 Rescue Operation ( 3 )



Millie realized the urgency in Ceri\'s voice as she swiftly took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill needed about half an hour to take effect after all.

In their current situation, every second counts, and hesitation may lead to death.

As soon as she swallowed the pill, Ceri suddenly held her hand with her left hand while her right hand grabbed the railings of their small bed.

Millie wanted to ask what was going on but she was interrupted by the sound of an explosion!

Boom!

It was so strong that her body was almost thrown aside!

"Ugh!"

Millie felt a bit disoriented but thanks to Ceri, she was in a better condition than the others…

Did their airship crash on something just now?

It was a shame that she hasn\'t trained her Primal Sense to the advanced level yet. If she did, she would\'ve noticed it coming too…

She was truly lucky that she was able to stay by Ceri\'s side all this time. She would probably be so helpless and maybe already eaten by the Barbarians if not for her.

"Are you alright, Millie? I think we have a chance!"

"Y-yes… What\'s going on, Senior Sister?"

"I felt foreign energy colliding to our airship… I think it\'s happening with the other flying ships as well. It\'s familiar. It\'s similar to the Formation Art within our Sect\'s Sword Pavilion… No, it\'s definitely stronger than the Formation Art there… I think the airship is being attacked!"

Excitement grew on their faces after reaching this conclusion.

Since flags of the barbarians were raised everywhere outside the airship, the attackers should know what kind of beings were inside this airship.

If they still attacked despite knowing this.

It probably means that they are confident in defeating them or at the very least, they should be able to buy time for them to escape!

The only concern now is whether they could last for 30 minutes until their pills took effect.

"Everyone, calm down… Someone seems to be attacking this airship… This might be our chance." Millie said as she sensed that everyone in the other rooms was worried.

Her words weren\'t loud but certainly enough for everyone to hear. This made everyone tense up as their eyes lit up in expectation…

Ceri approved of this since if they are planning to escape, it will be very difficult if there were only the two of them. It is much better if everyone tried escaping in different directions making it harder for them to get caught… if ever they reached that point.

"Do you think they\'re here to save us?" Millie whispered to Ceri.

"I don\'t know… However, we should be prepared. We don\'t have weapons with us so we will be using these towels for now. You have reached an intermediate state with your Flicker Martial Technique, right?"

"It\'s advanced state already, Senior Sister."

Millie replied with a weak smile. The Flicker Martial Technique or Flicker Art is one of the basic techniques being taught in the Primal Sword Sect. It allows them to use a belt, scarf, jacket, rolled towel, and other similar things as a weapon.

Of course, this is mostly for defensive techniques which is what they needed right now. Since they are planning to escape, they can\'t carry heavy items or spend their time battling. Even if they wanted to carry a sword, they don\'t even know where to find one.

Bam! Bam!

Two more explosions occurred somewhere in the airship as the vessel finally started dropping… Everyone felt nervous. They weren\'t sure how high they were in the air…

Luckily, the ship wasn\'t dropping fast so it means that its floating system is still somewhat working.

"Hmmm… They\'re not targeting the cabins… Do they know that the ship is filled with prisoners?" Ceri muttered as she noticed something off with how the ship is being attacked.

Right now, she doesn\'t look really well as she had become thinner after not being able to properly eat.

They haven\'t taken a bath for more than two months but her calmness while assessing their situation made Millie truly respect her. She still looks pretty and most importantly, reliable!

"Ehem… Senior Sister, perhaps we should make contact with them? Can you tell whether they are humans are not?" Millie suggested. However, Ceri could only shake her head.

Her primal sense can only allow her to sense the fluctuations of energy… Furthermore, the fluctuations of energy she\'s feeling right now were too weird. It was not something she had ever felt before.

With this in mind, she doubts that humans were actually helping them at this moment. Since they were being brought to some unknown continent, she wouldn\'t be surprised if there are other intelligent races here!

"I\'m not sure if they\'re friendly or not. I think it\'s better to just think of escaping… Once we\'re out, I\'ll check again if we\'re being helped by humans." Ceri suggested as she composed herself.

As she said this, their airship finally hit the ground throwing everyone to the overhead compartment of their cabins. They were lucky.

They weren\'t injured even after this since they have prepared themselves in advance. They coated themselves with their mana as they were able to endure the rough landing…

"Graaahhhh!"

A roar filled with anger suddenly echoed throughout the place. It was followed by a menacing aura filled with bloodlust as everyone was able to recognize this barbarian. It is certainly from the unique barbarian filled with tattoos!

This specific barbarian is several times stronger than the Barbarian Kings! Furthermore, there should be a total of three of them…

Bang!

Ceri kicked the cabin\'s door.

"This is our chance! Move with haste!" She shouted.

Those who were still shocked at the powerful aura coming from the unique barbarian, jolted at her words and immediately acted.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Since one of them already decided to take this opportunity to escape, the others were able to easily follow.

This situation happened to the other cabins on different decks as full chaos finally erupted…

"Do not fight! Our Martial Techniques don\'t work against Barbarians. Just focus on your escape!"

Millie shouted as she moved with Ceri to go outside…

Surprisingly, they didn\'t meet a single barbarian blocking their passageways! Everything had gone smoothly by far but they soon met trouble at the last reinforced door connected to the outdoor deck!

The door isn\'t just made of thick metal but it\'s also protected by a Formation Art or some sort of Mana Art. The hundreds of prisoners on this deck, who wanted to escape, couldn\'t move forward.

"Move aside… I can open it…" A young man with glowing eyes suddenly said as he continued to get closer to the door.
