Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 270 Secret Passage"What? How can a Magic Knight be this strong…" Laurin looked at Rem. It is a gaze filled with admiration as he saw her magnificent performance. As a Magic Knight himself, he knows how difficult it is to inject that much ice element into the steel golem.
Furthermore, this ice element was so strong that it had frozen the golem completely and shattered it into thousands of pieces.
"Leader, I think it's about the blue sword she's holding…"
"That's right, Laurin… She only has a better weapon. It's probably an Epic Weapon."
"Epic? No, isn't that a Cobalt Sword being sold at many weapon shops?"
One of them suddenly noticed the familiar blue sword. The rest immediately took another glance and indeed, they found it similar!
'How can it be the brittle cobalt sword?'
The cobalt sword isn't really a good choice because it's very light so it's difficult during a clash of swords or when fighting against armored opponents. It also had a high chance of breaking when it clashed against an Arcane Alloy that is commonly used to create swords and spears within the Black Tower's territory.
The ones who use these swords were mainly those with frail bodies but looking at Rem's physique, she definitely isn't one of those.
"If it's really the cobalt sword, then the golem wasn't defeated by the weapon but it was done by this beautiful warrior…"
Laurin sighed as he failed to realize the greatness of this woman.
Seeing that Vincent have the strength to back up his words a while ago, he couldn't help but be ashamed of his actions. He had underestimated them too much!

Vincent raised his brows seeing how Laurin easily changed his tone after realizing his situation. Well, it's a good thing that he knows how to adapt so he didn't mind it. Anyway, he didn't really want to waste his time educating them so showing them their strength is just the best thing he could think of.
"I get it… I get it. Just harvest the flower now and summon the next golem… After you spent all of your cores, I want you all to leave this place." Vincent ordered as urged them to start working.
"Yes, Sir Vincent! We won't ever forget this. Lew, carefully take the flower then start the summoning immediately…"
Laurin ordered as his group immediately acted.
The next event went smoothly as Rem killed two more golems using her frost technique… She even decided to play with them a little bit since it was rare for her to find someone who won't easily die after a simple frostbite.
As Laurin's group started packing up, Vincent called out for him.
"Yes, Sir Vincent, is there anything I can help you with?"
Her tone has already changed from an arrogant one to a respectful one.
"Well, I just want to check the Dispelling Death flower… Can I see one of them?" Vincent asked.
Without hesitation, Laurin handed over a small pot where they transferred the flower. Well, they can't just cut off the flower itself since it doesn't have a long shelter life. Furthermore, they don't have an interspatial ring like Vincent so they have no choice but to do this instead…
Vincent smiled as he accepted the pot.
When his Appraisal Skill was only at the basic level, he couldn't appraise living things like plants and animals. To appraise a part of a plant, he has to cut them off from its stem or completely remove them from the ground.
However, now that he has the Advanced Appraisal skill, he can do a simple appraisal of plants even when they were on the ground. It wouldn't be detailed information but its name and a few words of description would be there.
In this case, Vincent wasn't sure whether he could appraise with complete information since it is still on a pot of dirt so he was a bit curious.
Vincent triggered the skill.
[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]
'Yes…'
[ You have discovered a pot of Dispelling Death Flower ]
[ Dispelling Death Flower ]
[ Quality: Rare
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Description: A mutated carnation flower that has a mysterious effect that can attract negative or death energy.
Remarks: The flower's effect can be strengthed in every enhancement. Direct consumption can cause death. ]
"Hmm… This is the first time I've seen this kind of flower…"
Vincent muttered after reading the appraisal result. Although he's young, he has worked as an appraiser for quite a while in huge organizations like the Guardian Auction House and the Black Tower's Appraiser Hall.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring this time, he had seen numerous alchemy ingredients.
Most flowers that can be used for alchemy have attribute enhancement effects. However, this flower has a different effect which could absorb a certain type of energy like a Mana Art…
"How are you using this to cure the people affected by the plague?" Vincent curiously asked.
"We're only selling them to the pharmacists, Sir Vincent. They have developed a way to make this into medicine. With its five petals, they can make five medicinal pills from it."
"I see…" Vincent nodded as he handed over the pot.
"We will leave now, Sir Vincent. Be careful inside… Since the bugs just ate the golem, they gain its steel attribute and it would normally last for six hours. Although you can probably defeat them with frost technique, their number is just incredible… It's probably hundreds of thousands. If you needed help in the future, my Fatal Spirit Hunting Group will be at your service."
"I understand… Thank you for reminding me." Vincent replied as watched them leave.
As soon as Laurin's group disappeared, Vincent couldn't help but smile at himself.
Well, because of his actions no one realized that he actually has terrible eyesight. He really acted like a normal person and he couldn't help but be proud of it.
"Ehem… Tara, Rem… What do you think? Should we visit the Armored Lycan for now or we just open the secret path?" Vincent asked as he surveyed the surroundings.
Rem was the first one to answer after considering their options.
"It's a problem if the steel-like bugs can tear off my frost skill or if they have stronger burrowing skills. If that were the case, they will just pop off under our feet… and I don't like that."
Vincent imagined this scenario and indeed, it was quite uncomfortable dealing with thousands of bugs. Though they can probably get away with their Celestial Armor, it wasn't worth spending his energy just for that.
Tara had the same opinion as she lacks area or field magic to deal with thousands of bugs that could crawl out everywhere…
"All right then, let's crush that wall and reveal that secret passage…" Vincent said excitedly as he equipped his gauntlet preparing to make a hole in it.
