Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Tara\'s sinister smile was hidden from the five Celestial Beings behind her.

They were right about their guess, she has indeed other plans aside from recruiting other Celestial Beings. Nevertheless, she decided not to explain it to them since she believes that it wasn\'t necessary.

Of course, after she settles her concern, she can just simply continue with her recruitment as if nothing happened.

In any case, she\'s confident that she can recruit other Celestial Beings alone even if they are higher ranked than her…

After a few minutes, Tara climbs to the top of a large tree to observe a group of people.

These people weren\'t strangers to her but certainly not her friends. She headed toward this location to confirm their identities and now that she found them, she can\'t help but smile as she gripped her sword tightly.

It was as if she was trying to consider her next moves.

Tara recognized the man leading in front of the group…

It was Leon, also known as Patriarch Leon of the Zemin Clan.

She then continued looking at the wagons and carriages behind them as she gave a very rare smile.

That\'s right, the group of hundred people that are crossing the forest was the Zemin Clan from the Tudor Kingdom… The same clan that blinded Vincent and made him suffer for years.

***

About six hours ago, the hideout of the Zemin Clan was discovered by the members of the Black Magic Organization… They had no choice but to fight a losing battle.

They lost over five hundred members of the clan including three of the Clan Guardians… Perhaps, if they did not leave their Celestial Beings to fight to its death, none of them would be able to escape…

Of course, the Celestial may have escaped before she died after Leon\'s son, who was contracted to her, died from a stray shot.

As far as they know, the Celestials can tell whether their contractors are still alive or have died already.

"Where are we heading now, Patriarch? We have tried contacting the Archons who are supporting us but none of them are replying to us… They must\'ve died already or maybe even converted to be members of this cult…"

Tezcan, one of the Clan\'s remaining Guardians, asked quietly.

The others must be worrying as well so he didn\'t really want to make them worry and create panic.

"We\'ll be heading to Vera City…" Leon answered after taking a deep breath.

"V-vera City? You mean Vincent\'s City?" Tezcan asked in shock…

He still hasn\'t forgotten what they did to Vincent after learning that he has become blind and couldn\'t be cured even by the Divine Doctor.

They can\'t possibly let Lesley marry a blind man even if he\'s a 3-Star Aura Knight… They believe that they can find a better partner for the only daughter of the Clan Head.

However, after they arrived on this new continent, not only did they fail to get Lesley to marry a powerful mage in this land but they also learned that Vincent was doing well and became the disciple of the Tower Lord.

In the end, they can only do their best to bribe some people to get better living conditions so they can expand a lot faster.

"We have to try and ask for his help… We are all from the Tudor Kingdom so he will show mercy… In any case, Lesley is still here… We have made agreements with their parents so we\'re still somehow connected. I\'m sure we can still ask him to consider her or perhaps make her his concubine if he\'s already married." Leon replied as he revealed his plan.

Tezcan was shocked after hearing this.

It was an absurd thought.

However, he can\'t splash cold water on the Patriarch\'s hope… He can only pray that Vincent will indeed take them to his city which should be under the protection of the Tower Lord.

They have few options left after all.

They have already tried going out of this territory and considered living under the protection of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Unfortunately, they discovered the Barbarians\' plan. These barbarians are slowly surrounding the Black Tower\'s Territory as if they were working with the Black Magic Organization… If they want to get out of this place, they have to face those Barbarian Kings which is not something they could do with their current force…

\'Haaa~\'

Tezcan sighed as he added a suggestion to the patriarch…

"We have to think carefully about this… We need to provide him with something that he can\'t reject so he will help us and give the Tower Lord a few good words for us."

He doesn\'t have a better plan right now so he can only try and help Leon by giving a suggestion.

Leon agreed with this... However, he had already said their best gift which is Lesley… A genius Archmage that has learned five types of Fusion Arts.

If she has the time, she will certainly become a Grand Magus and Vincent should be able to see that and will be happy to take her in.

If that happens, Lesley might also benefit from the Tower Lord\'s guidance.

As they were planning to continue heading forward, one of their scouts suddenly signaled for everyone to get ready for battle.

Clink… Clink… Clink…

Everyone was prepared for battle as they immediately draw their weapons. They have been in constant battles in the past few days so this is not a surprising reaction.

They have fought against several Magic Beasts and Savage Beasts in their journey…

Currently, they were expecting to fight some forest beasts again as they looked around the trees and even at the sky.

However, even after using their Mana Sense to the limit, none of the felt the presence of enemies.

"Hey—"

They were about to scold the scouts who issued a warning but suddenly, a suffocating pressure bore down on their group!

It is powerful enough that even their Patriarch has to go all out to ensure that the core members of the clan don\'t get too affected by it.

The Zemin Clan finally realized that they have entered a powerful beast\'s territory!

\'Just how many Magic Beasts are living here to make such a powerful aura.\'

Everyone had these thoughts when suddenly, a lone figure of a woman appeared in front of them.
