Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Boom! Boom!

As the Dragon Riders landed on the ground, they created a shockwave as if they wanted Lar and others to be blown away just from the mere force of their descent.

It was quite effective as the horses of the carriage started panicking almost hurting Lar and the others.

"Ho~ It's really you guys… I guess I really have to pay that young man for the bounty, huh." Ersin said after recognizing Ersin and the others.

"Leader! It seems that they're ready to fight. Let me capture them. It should be fine to break their bones for a bit, right?" One of the squad members said excitedly as he saw their prey holding weapons in their hands.

"Well, as long as they're alive. The Tower Master specifically ordered not to kill them so make sure to control your strength."

"Yes, Sir!"

The squad members then laughed as they dismounted from their Forest Wyverns. These mounts can also attack Lar and the others but they were afraid that it would do too much damage. They might accidentally rip them apart so they decided to just handle it themselves.

"Tsk! What do you want? Aren't you guys the Black Tower's Dragon Riders?! Why are you doing this to us?" Lar shouted as if he was being wronged.

"Huh? Are you still going to act innocent? Do you think we don't recognize you? You're number 14, right? Anyway, are there only the five of you? Where are the others?"

Lar grimaced after hearing the question. He appears to be completely aggrieved after hearing his question.

"You bastards! You're still looking for others?! Are you still not satisfied and planning to dig their graves?" Lar said as he and the other slowly backed away.

The squad members noticed this as they made sure to block all their exits. They were completely surrounded.

"What? They're already dead?" One of the members was a bit stunned as he looked at Squad Leader Ersin who was also frowning.

Based on Lar's expression, he doesn't seem to be lying. Furthermore, they also raised this question to the Tower Master.

Apparently, they themselves were unsure whether these people who had escaped from the Tower could continue living after they stopped receiving drugs and various supplements to sustain their bodies' special condition.

They can only hope that these experimental subjects have found a method to live without their drugs and medical equipment. Perhaps, they were able to slowly adapt themselves through some kind of mutation they were unaware of.

After all, they are valuable specimens that could not be easily replaced. It would be a shame if they died just like that.

In any case that there were indeed survivors, they were expecting that it would be Lar's current group since they were aware of their body constitution. These people have an incredible physique and were favorite specimens by the magicians. They know how durable they are since they've cut them open several times already.

"Tsk… If they were really dead, you just have to tell us where you buried them. Now, you can either wear these handcuffs without getting hurt or fight us and get your bones broken." Ersin sternly said as he took out the magic tools in front of them.

These handcuffs are made of natural red metal capable of disturbing their energy. Lar and the others were extremely familiar with this magic tool. Once they wore the handcuff, mustering their strength would be incredibly difficult as the magic tool won't just disturb their internal energy but also their minds. Their concentration would be muddled and won't be able to fight at all.

Their expressions turned ugly as they recalled some unpleasant memories with these handcuffs.

However, knowing that they have a Celestial Being on their side, they know not to get caught by these people. They just need to buy some time and she will certainly make her move!

"How about we pay you some money instead and allow us to leave? You guys know that we aren't criminals who had stolen something in the Black Tower… We just want to live a normal life…"

Lar said as the others had confused looks on their faces.

"What are you talking about? You guys have stolen something from the Tower that was why you guys were imprisoned. If you weren't guilty, you wouldn't have run away…" One of the squad members replied with a mocking tone.

Ersin then realized that talking to them will not bring any more results so he signaled his men to capture the five people.

As soon as he did this, five men rushed forward with the swords in their hands. They did not unsheathe the swords as they decided to beat them with their scabbard instead.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Lar was the first one to engage as he utilized his Deadly Seven Fist!

The first strike hit the scabbard, the second strike hit the man's chest, followed by another strike to his chin…

"You—"

The squad member was surprised by the sudden use of Martial Arts. Lar was acting timid like he doesn't even know how to make a fist.

However, as soon as he got in range, Lar's aura changed and he was caught off guard!

It was the same for the other four as they swiftly landed a few strikes! They didn't even complete the seven fists! Either the third strike or the fourth strike was enough to push them back!

"Hahaha! What a move! Karl! Want me to deal with them?"

"Did you guys just got hit by those lousy punches?"

"If you get hit again, I will be the one playing with them… Kahaha…"

The other members just laughed at the first five people who tried to deal with Lar's group who ended up in failure. They were still relaxed since they can tell that these five weren't Aura Knights or Magic Knights… They were just Martial Artists with a little bit of mana with them to boost their physical strength.

It wasn't their first time dealing with these kinds of people.

"Hmph! We were just surprised for a moment there… I didn't expect that they have a fast reaction and learned high-grade Martial Arts. The next exchange will be different…" As soon as he said this, he immediately launched himself to Lar.

This time a mana wave started affecting the five as they were momentarily unable to breathe.

'We plan on going easy on you and only break at least a couple of bones… But you really want to suffer in pain, huh!' The man said in his mind as he started using his Elemental Mana Arts.

Everyone can tell that this fight is about to end seeing that their members decided to use Mana Arts instead of playing a bit more.

However, while this was all happening, Ersin was looking at the silent carriage and seemed to be frightened by something.

"Shit! Get back here!" Ersin immediately tried to recall the five but it was too late!
