Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

The chamber they entered just now was filled with Mana Crystals!

Several opened and unopened treasure chests were within the room and all of them seem to be filled with nothing but Mana Crystals!

It is such an incredible sight and he couldn't help but pinch his thigh to make sure that he wasn't just hallucinating.

"One… two… three… four..."

Vincent started counting the treasure chests and confirmed that there are 18 of them. Since Tara confirmed that the room is actually safe, Vincent didn't hesitate to explore this chamber.

"Tara, how did you find this place?"

He curiously asked.

His map has become useless 30 minutes ago as they encountered several chambers filled with various creatures. As a matter of fact, he already stopped participating in the battle after his Ironbark Cane got its durability cut by 40 points!

This is not a small matter considering how he has no method of increasing its durability aside from ascending them to a higher rank. That is easier said than done.

"It's because of that…"

Tara said as he pointed at the small box at the center of the treasure chests.

It is a precious black box adorned with a golden dragon pattern making it look really expensive, whatever is inside, it must be something important.

After observing the black box, he looked at Tara to ask whether it is safe to take open it.

"It's alright… You should be able to handle it. Besides, it will help you advance as an Aura Knight."

"What? It can help me advance to a 3-Star Aura Knight?" Vincent looked at the beautiful woman and realized she wasn't joking at all.

He can only advance his Soul Cultivation using the visualization method that his grandfather taught him.

'Is there another method?' He mused.

"It can help you advance, yes… I know that the modified potion you're giving me is extremely valuable. I can tell that if other people consumed them, they will easily recover their health or their mana. And you will probably earn a lot of money if you decided to sell them. So I'm doing all of this so I won't feel bad just accepting all those potions."

Tara explained herself as she walked forward and took the black box.

"Take it. I can feel that the item inside can help you strengthen your soul. I will guard you here while you assimilate with it."

"Eh? Assimilate? What the heck is inside this thing?"

"Just open it. You will understand." Tara replied with her radiant smile.

It seems that she's already getting used to showing her expressions. Previously, Tara seemed cold and aloof with her ethereal beauty. But now, Vincent would always see her smiling or showing various expressions while talking.

"Fine, fine… Let me see what's inside…"

Vincent said as he no longer hesitated to open the black box.

Inside it was a small white orb. It is carefully embedded in a small cushion protecting it from being rolled around inside the box.

He didn't feel any strong aura or smell any unusual scent coming from it so he couldn't help but wonder how Tara could sense this from afar.

'Is this Celestial Weapon? But It looks too normal…' Vincent thought as he proceeded to touch the white orb.

He wanted to appraise the orb but as soon as he made contact with it, he felt a warm sensation coming from the item as it started to spread from the tip of his fingers up to his whole body.

He didn't have the time to activate his Appraisal Skill!

"This… What's happening?"

In the blink of an eye, Vincent found himself in a different dimension. It is dark and the only thing that is giving light to him is the ray of sunlight that he can see coming from a distance… It was like he was inside a tunnel and looking at the exit.

However, even without moving, he realized that the sunlight, or the exit, is getting bigger and bigger…

After several seconds, he finally managed to see what was the light… It was the goddess wearing a loose white robe with a brilliant crown which was a bit similar to what he have seen in his visualization method!

This time, however, the image is so clear and her hair is even moving!

'Eh? Wait… She's not painting this time… Could it be…'

"Ehem… Are you the goddess of this world?" Vincent asked. He realized that the orb probably contains the goddess' soul or perhaps, a bit of her divinity.

After all, he also noticed that the majestic lady blinked her eyes! He also observed her bountiful chest carefully and realized that she was drawing her breath.

Vincent waited for the woman to answer.

"..."

However, even after a few seconds, she just remained there looking at him with her serene eyes.

'Ugh… Am I wrong? Is this just a moving image?'

He sighed.

'I guess it's not impossible… I should probably be using this time to instill her image into my mind.' Vincent then took a deep breath as he now understand what he has to do.

After a few minutes, he realized that looking at the beautiful goddess is getting more and more difficult!

The image started getting blurry and if he lost his focus even for a second, her existence would seem to vanish for a while

It was quite scary so he didn't dare to slack off. There is also that powerful pressure coming from the goddess that is slowly trying to squish his body…

Nevertheless, he can feel that this pressure is actually a sign of his advancement and he didn't mind it at all.

Whoosh~

Finally, after spending quite some time in this training, Vincent found himself in the chamber holding the white orb in the black box.

He returned.

"Tara, how much time had passed?"

"Three hours… How was it? It's effective, right?"

"Yes… It's really effective." Vincent answered with a smile.

Crack… Crack… Crack…

The white orb started cracking before it completely shattered.

"It's gone." Vincent lamented after seeing the tiny pieces of the orb that was left behind. He felt that if he could use it a few more times, he can probably reach the peak of 3-Star Knight!

"Congratulations for reaching the 3-Star Aura Knight…"

"Thank you, Tara. I thought I would need a few more years to accomplish this." Vincent smiled as he can't help but feel so lucky being with a Celestial Being.

"I'm just repaying your kindness. I need a lot of those potions after all."

"Haha! Sure… I will work hard. Should we leave the dungeon now?"
