Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Nerissa gritted her teeth after hearing Phoebe's comment.

'Pathetic?!'

With such a provocation, Nerissa felt annoyed. She decided to show her that she was not just any Crystal Tier Manipulator!

She instantly circulated her Mind Technique to the limit…

At this time, she wasn't only controlling the Crystal Tier Automaton but also a couple of Gold Tier Automatons!

She didn't want to do this since controlling two more Automatons would greatly affect her mind but she has to show that she was different!

She's Sage Vivian's finest student!

The Crystal Turtle spun extremely fast and headed toward the Apostle…

At the same time, the two Gold Falcons that were previously perched on a tree flew above Phoebe… After gaining some altitude, they dived toward Phoebe aiming to put a hole in her head!

Phoebe sneered at the incoming attacks… She didn't think too much of it as she even has the time to see the situation of her squad members…

She can tell that they were at a disadvantage after the Celestials decided to fight in close combat…

Luckily for them, the Celestials they were dealing with doesn't seem to have Celestial Weapons equipped.

It would be completely different if they were equipped with one since none of their Corruption power will work on the Celestials…

After all, the Magic Tools or any other items that aren't Celestial Weapons couldn't properly handle the mysterious force of Celestial Energy…

Only Celestial Weapons can properly show the might of the Celestial Beings… Without their true weapons or equipment that's capable of utilizing the Celestial Energy, the Celestials were merely two or three levels higher than the Paragons in their eyes.

Although they were extremely strong, it's not to the point that they'll be slaughtered so easily…

"Do not panic! I'm starting to gain the blessing… It'll take a bit of time but just hold on and I'll deal with all of them at once…"

Phoebe spoke with confidence calming the hearts of her subordinates.

Their eyes lit up as they realized that they weren't defeated yet.

That's right, they have an Apostle with them… Someone blessed by a deity! There was no way the goddess would allow her blessed to die here so easily…

After motivating the others, Phoebe used her right hand to catch the spinning Crystal Turtle…

Thud!

The spin was stopped abruptly creating a small shockwave… Soil and dust flew everywhere as the force behind that spin was incredibly strong…

At this time, Phoebe also looked above her and used her left hand to wave her Scythe aiming to cut the two falcons into two.

Crash!

With a single wave of her weapon, the two Gold Tier Automatons were destroyed…

However, Nerissa actually didn't stop at this as the Crystal Tier Automaton that had stopped moving suddenly expanded…

She thought that it was only gigantification like other Diamond Tier Automatons could do but she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Y-you! Are you a bandit?!"

Phoebe shouted in anger as she realized that the Manipulator working for the Star Garden Peak had actually dared to put explosives inside its automatons…

Putting self-destruction options on automatons goes against the principle of the Star Garden Peak and it is prohibited!

Only bandits or renegade manipulators would do such a thing!

This desperate action of her enemy angered Phoebe as she used her accumulating energy to isolate the explosion…

This accumulating energy was supposed to kill the Bloodstone User since it was annoyingly blocking threatening attacks from her subordinates…New chapters are published on _Fire

Corruption Techniques were useless with her around.

Unfortunately, she had to change her plan… Dark energy covered the ballooned turtle… Phoebe knows that she doesn't have time to throw it. She can't muster enough strength to send it away and could only use this method…

Boom!

A suppressed explosion occurred as the dark capsule that was formed started trembling violently… A crack even appeared and bright light appeared from it… It was immediately closed but everyone could tell that the explosion that occurred was barely controlled by Phoebe.

Drip… drip…

After a while, blood started dripping on Phoebe's right hand… Though she controlled the explosion, her hand was injured…

At this time, she already found where Nerissa was hiding…

"Shameless! You have no honor!" Phoebe shouted in anger. She had never been injured like this before. Not even when she fought against a Celestial a few years ago!

She was completely in rage as she dashed towards where Nerissa was hiding…

Vincent saw her predicament and he immediately ordered Luna.

"Save her… We'll follow up once we killed all the others." Vincent said as he pointed his pistol at Phoebe's squad members.

He didn't shoot it before since Phoebe was near them. With her skills, blocking his gunshots would be possible and it would be a waste of bullets…

Now that she had left her position, Vincent would obviously take this opportunity to end them…

Luna, on the other hand, did not hesitate to chase after Phoebe… Even if the other members of the Creed saw this, they have no way of helping their leader since they were also surrounded by the close combat expert Celestials…

They don't even have the time to tap the power given to them by their goddess since a momentary distraction might cost them their life.

"Die!"

Phoebe shouted as she struck Nerissa's figure with her scythe… The blade of the scythe was glowing with red light and the latter knew that once she was hit with this, it would end her life.

Now that her Crystal Tier Automaton was destroyed, she can only use her lower tier Automatons to protect her…

Nerissa was actually hoping that even if Phoebe didn't die from that attack, she would at least be heavily injured.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen and only caused some light wounds on Phoebe's right arm…

'So this is the power of an Apostle… It was too strong…' Nerissa sighed as she controlled her automatons to block the attack for her…

Unfortunately, they were easily destroyed and couldn't even stop the scythe for a split second.

As she was expecting to be cut in half by the scythe, Luna's figure appeared behind Phoebe…

She's holding a short blade and if Phoebe continued attacking Nerissa, she would suffer from Luna's sneak attack…
