Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"What happened, Vincent? Can you tell what\'s going on?" Millie asked worriedly.

Both her parents are guards working at the southern gate of their village. Since they have escaped to the western side, she didn\'t have a chance to meet them before getting here.

However, she\'s already been told about this escape route in case an emergency happens. This is why she was not worried that she will be separated from them for long.

In the first place, she was told that she can escape here in case a Savage Beast that they couldn\'t defeat entered the village. With that in mind, it should only be a matter of time before they pick her up here. It is the same for the others.

Unfortunately, the problem within the village seems to be more difficult to deal with than they expected.

The voice they heard sounded really pissed off. Considering that they have brought a Celestial as well, they couldn\'t think that there would be someone in the village who can stop them!

"I think something bad happened in the village…" Vincent can only answer.

"This… What should we do? Are they going to be alright? Do you think they have already escaped as well?" Kiefer wanted to go back and look for his father.

However, he knows how weak he was and the burst of aura just now already scared him from getting close to the village.

"I don\'t know… Let\'s continue moving for now. I\'m sure that they have something in mind. Our presence might be noticed by the Celestial if we don\'t keep moving."

"R-right… Let\'s hurry."

They are all worried about their relatives. As of now, they can only hope that they have escaped using a different route and meet them later on.

As everyone nervously walked, Vincent was still trying to sense the mana in the surroundings… However, because they were getting farther away from the village, his mana sensitivity was no longer useful.

\'Seriously… This happened so quickly… Grandpa should\'ve escaped with us instead. Tsk…\' He can\'t understand why Raize decided to confront those people from the Lucius Clan. There was no way they are a match after all.

If he was in a position where he can\'t defeat his opponent, there was no way he would continue fighting on. If he ever had a chance, he would immediately escape and think about revenge once he had gotten stronger.

\'I know this isn\'t a peaceful fantasy world after that incident with Joran and Kai… However, shouldn\'t they give me a bit more time to grow?\' Vincent sighed as he could only complain right now.

Though he learned 4 Mana Arts from his Grandfather, it was still not enough to even think of going outside the village and living alone.

He knows that he still has to rely on him especially for acquiring the Beast Cores.

Vincent felt his backpack for a bit as he confirmed that the Beast Cores he had collected were still in his possession.

"We\'re here…"

"I didn\'t know there is a place like this."

"It\'s filled with flowers. How beautiful!"

The seven arrived in a flower field surrounded by mountains. Even Vincent was speechless after seeing such a beautiful sight.

He even felt something from the yellow flowers as he wanted to appraise them immediately. However, this is not important right now.

"No one is here." Vincent muttered after looking around.

They searched for traces but none of them managed to find any.

"There\'s a large rock over there… Let\'s see if there are some clues there." Kiefer pointed at the flower field.

The large rock is actually at the center of the flower field. They didn\'t think much of it at first but since there was nothing else to do, they decided to approach it.

"Hmm?"

"Stairs going underground?"

"Aren\'t they too mysterious? Why did the Village Chief and the elders even bother doing all of this."

"Yeah… The secret passage inside the waterfalls is already incredible. Now, there is also like this."

Vincent nodded as he looked at the hollowed rock from the other side. They found stairs leading underground and unexpectedly, no one felt any danger coming from them.

"Let me lead the way." Vincent said as he decided to be the vanguard.

Soon, he saw some crystals on the walls as he poured a little bit of mana into them so they can start glowing.

The mana he used wasn\'t much at all and he only used up 0.10 units each.

After a couple of dozen steps, they finally arrived at the bottom giving a shock to everyone, especially Vincent.

"Whoa~"

"This looks so cool!"

"I wonder what\'s inside?"

"It looks so strange though."

"Be careful. Let\'s not touch it for now."

The children expressed their interest in the capsule inside. On the other hand, Vincent was already clutching his head not understanding what was really going on.

First, he found the modernized armors of the Celestials very suspicious. That armor already made him reconsider whether this is a fantasy world of sword and magic.

Now, there is also this mysterious capsule that obviously did not fit in a medieval era!

"Let\'s not stay here. Let\'s go outside." Vincent suggested.

Aside from that, he also felt that the presence of his Grandpa reappears! Though he was really weakened, there was no way for him to mistake his identity.

As soon as they returned to the surface, they indeed found Raizen filled with blood! His dominant left arm was also missing!

"G-grandpa!" Vincent worriedly approached Raizen who was now lying in the field of flowers. He\'s still breathing but he\'s already too weak… They also do not have any medicines with them.

Right now, the most he could do is to try to stop the bleeding.

Vincent immediately acted and bandaged his grandfather. Luckily, he learned how to do this in his previous life during his college days.

"Grandpa! Stay awake!" Vincent called out as he can\'t let him fall asleep yet.

,m Raizen has to continuously revolve his Mana Source or his body would collapse completely. He is already old after all.

Vincent then turned to the other children who remained watching on the side.

"Fetch some water. There should be a river or something nearby. Look for it!" Vincent instructed.

Realizing that their help was also needed, they immediately acted after hearing his words.

It was at this time that Raizen opened his eyes and looked at his grandson with grateful eyes.
