Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer-Chapter 554 Against The Celestials ( 6 )
Vincent rarely uses the Haunting Hymn skill of the dagger… Normally, it's only used when he truly wanted to kill his target… After all, it's not cheap to use this ability.
[ Haunting Hymn: In exchange for 120 durability points, the dagger can ignore the location and defenses of the marked target and pierce them precisely. ]
That's right! A staggering 120 points of durability will be lost in each usage of this ability!
Nevertheless, Vincent decided to use it against the Celestial not because he wanted to kill her but because he knows that if he don't make such a decisive skill, this Celestial might do some more tricks to disrupt his Pseudo-Celestial Energy flow…
He can't let that happen since he has limited Magic Tools that don't require his energy to activate their skills.
Luckily for him, Haunting Hymn only consumed durability points and not his energy…
Buzzz…
Vincent threw the dagger in his hands and the Celestial was ready to block it with her baton… However, the dagger seem to have altered reality as it instantly pierced her chest!
Celestial 85 eyes almost popped out after seeing the miraculous dagger throw that Vincent just did… What was even scarier is that it actually ignored her Celestial Energy and directly attacked her body!
It was too magical and not even the top brass of Creed of Eiqehin has this kind of ability.
Aside from the power of corruption, her Celestial Energy had never failed her in defending her body… Obviously, she can tell that Vincent didn't use Corruption Energy from this strike…
She can only guess that it's a power that he had added in the Celestial Weapon through some high-level Inscriptions.
"Haaa!"
With a burst of energy, the dagger only pierced about 2 and a half inches into her chest before it was pushed away… It wasn't life-threatening but bleeding might lead to irreversible injury so she has to treat it immediately.
She then swiftly stepped back to close the wounds…
However, Vincent didn't give her enough time to recover as several thorny iron vines dragged her feet into the ground…
The Celestial was caught off guard by an unusual method of attack since she didn't feel any strong Mana Fluctuations just now…
However, because the thorny vines were only made of iron, they weren't too difficult to remove especially for a Celestial like her…
Thud…
With a stomp on the ground, the area in her surroundings started disintegrating leaving a small crater behind…
The iron vines were destroyed because of this but Vincent didn't give up… He used the Ironbark Cane's Ensnare ability again to limit the movement of the Celestial… ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
'Now!'
Vincent found an opportunity as he dashed toward the Celestial…
The Celestial just disintegrated the iron vines and saw Vincent coming at her with incredible speed. She had no choice but to face him head …
With a wave of her hand, the white jade baton shined for a brief moment before it struck the cane in Vincent's hands… f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
Crack!
With the Crush Attribute of the Cane, the baton could not withstand it any longer. Just another strike and the baton will split into two!
"Ugh… That disruption again…" Vincent muttered as he felt his unstable Pseudo-Celestial Energy start showing signs of going awry again…
Celestial Number 85 truly has an unusual method of dealing with him. Luckily, not all Celestials seem to be capable of doing this to him… At the very least, he knows that those Celestials working for the Black Magic Organization weren't capable of doing anything similar to this…
His interest in her just grew stronger. He wanted to keep her or get her on his side and learn about her secrets… He wants to formulate a technique to counter this disruption method that she was using…
The Celestial looked at her weapon and then at Vincent who seemed to be doing fine after all her 'successful' attacks.
"You're really persistent… I can't believe that you can fight me without releasing your internal energy… Your Legendary weapons are too impressive."
"You're just unlucky… Anyway, is this how you fight against the Manipulators in this country? Do you also use this kind of disruption to cut off their connection to their Automatons…" Vincent asked.
"You're correct… It works against Mana Practitioners as well and it's normally effective… I'm really unlucky just like what you said…" She replied…
"Alright… I guess this was your final trump card. I don't think you have anything more that can stop me… So allow me to show a glimpse of my real ability as well."
"Hmm? Are you telling me that the dagger that could alter space isn't your trump card?"
"Yes…" Vincent answered with a smile as he decided to pull out his other Sentient Arcana…
"Tome of Gluttony… It's your turn now."
[ What do I have to do? ]
"Do everything you can to seal the Celestial…"
[ Affirmative. ]
The tome then floated beside Vincent and opened its pages… The Celestial felt the deep and mysterious power coming from the Tome as she had forgotten that Vincent can still attack…
A series of Mana Bullets rained upon her and before she could dodge, she immediately felt the suppressing force of the Tome!
No, it was sucking her as if it wanted to pull her inside its pages!
It was such a scary thought that she poured almost all her strength to form a steady defense…
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Her body was hit by Vincent's bullets but it didn't end there… Several Mind Techniques started attacking her!
Soul Shake…
Chaos Night…
Fatal Mind…
Three consecutive mind attacks disrupted her focus and she was unable to muster her strength… Her Celestial Energy became unstable and in that brief moment of vulnerability, the Tome of Gluttony didn't waste its opportunity and successfully sealed the Celestial inside one of the pages of the book!
The next thing she saw was that she was already inside an empty place… It didn't take a genius to realize what happened to her…
The Tome really took her as a prisoner inside its pages!
