Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

With Vincent\'s Soul Sense, he was able to tell that this group had already noticed them from afar. However, they just took their time to arrive here as if they don\'t want to get involved in the battle.

He understands that as well since he would do that too if he doesn\'t want to be inflicted with other people\'s problems.

However, it must be remembered that Baron Leo has been eyeing the White Tiger Cub so this might not be a coincidence.

"Oh? What\'s all of this? You guys are not in a good condition. Did you encounter a Magic Beast?" Baron Leo asked as he looked worried. He even appears like he was ready to help them.

He then cast his glance at everyone as he carefully checked their condition.

Currently, the Primal Sword Sect\'s force has weakened a lot including the Mercenaries that they hired. Although they have defeated most of the \'bandits\' they weren\'t left unscathed by the battle and perhaps, they might even have trouble reaching the Arm\'s City at this rate.

Elder Han had never imagined that it would be this difficult to transport a Magic Beast and Magic Weapons. He heard from the past that the most that they would encounter were Savage Beasts and few Bandits that can even be paid if they don\'t want to fight in battle.

However, the Bandits they encountered never engaged in conversations as if they aren\'t planning to steal but just to kill them. More than that, they also encountered a passing Magic Beast on the road and were attacked making their force weaker.

"We can still manage, Baron Leo. If you\'re going ahead, please wait for a while as we will clear the road for you." Elder Han said cautiously.

Currently, the road is littered with corpses and he wanted these people to leave as quickly as possible.

So even if they\'re still recovering, they\'d rather use their remaining energy to fix the path so Baron can leave already.

"Hmm..." Baron Leo smiled without giving an answer. He seem to be considering something as he looked at the two Master Magicians.

"Haha… All of you don\'t have to be too vigilant. We\'re here because we heard that the bandits around this region were mostly operating during the night… We wanted to capture them and bring them to the Count. Since you encountered them already, you might be able to help us with our investigation. Men, help them…"

Baron Eldo commanded as he ordered his men to help the Mercenaries and the Sect Disciples… However, Vincent can see that they are still holding their sword on their waist while approaching the group!

It was as if they are attacking instead!

"Y-you! Retreat! Gather around the Divine Doctor!"

Elder Han noticed this as well. He immediately commanded the disciples as the knights approaches them.

However, he was still too late!

As soon as he made his order, the Knights realized that their plan to catch them off guard has failed as they ruthlessly slashed their swords at the nearest disciple or mercenary!

"Aahhh!!"

"N-noo! My arm---"

"You despicable noble! I\'ll bring you down with me!"

"Die!"

Realizing that they were about to die, the disciples of the sect surprisingly burst with power as they ignored the knights in front of them and rushed to Baron Leo!

Baron Leo was startled at this as he didn\'t think that a couple of disciples managed to break through from the knights he brought and almost caught him!

It shows that the Primal Sword Sect\'s disciples weren\'t some pushover as well!

As soon as they reached Baron Leo, they brandished their sword which was covered by every mana that they have to at least kill this person!

Even though they already have many wounds on their bodies, they still persisted to reach this state!

They were already vexed with this particular noble after their conflict within the Canthus City… Now that they have been chased here to be killed, they could no longer contain their anger and didn\'t care for the aftermath of killing a noble!

Haa!

The two disciples thrust their swords to stab Baron Leo… The latter even stumbled as he retreated quickly.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are?! Just obediently die!" Baron Eldo mocked the two disciples as he didn\'t even use his sword to stop the two!

He merely used his hands covered with gloves to stop the swords from advancing!

These gloves were obviously magic tools! Partnered with his incredible physique and master with Martial Arts, the Baron was able to stop the swords which greatly surprised the two!

They have never considered that someone is capable of catching their swords in such a manner!

They wanted to pull out their swords immediately, but they were too late! Baron Eldo just kicked the one on his left as the two disciples collided with each other and crashed to the ground.

Bang!

It didn\'t end there as Baron Eldo quickly killed the two with a couple more punches on their chests!

"I will kill you all!" Elder Han could no longer contain his anger as his body started turning red!

"Elder Han! You\'re going to--"

"Protect Elder Han at all costs!"

"He\'s using the Primal Burst?! This—"

The Sect Disciples were shocked at first but as soon as they recognized that their Elder used the Primal Burst, everyone did their best to protect the elder and give him some time.

It seems to be a secret technique of their sect!

Whoosh~

After about 30 seconds, when the remaining disciples were about to collapse, Elder Han finally made his move as he used an almost invisible sword to cut the neck of the Knights!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Everywhere he goes, the Knight\'s bodies would drop to the ground and only a single knight survived his attack. She was thrown away from the impact. No one knows if she\'s dead or alive.

Nevertheless, Vincent realized that it was the female knight working for Baron Leo.

"So fast! How could he do that without using any elements? Is this the secret of the Primal Sword Sect?" Vincent thought.

He was already planning to run in Tara and Rem\'s direction but it seems that they were still about to win.

Right now, there are only six people on the caravan\'s side who are alive. The Divine Doctor Ji, his servant, two disciples of the Sect, one mercenary, and Elder Han.

Of course, if Vincent\'s group were included, then there will an addition as Alfred, Mathias, and Dennise were still alive as they managed to deal with the knights who went in their direction.

On the other hand, the side of the nobles only has the two Barons and the unconscious female knight.

As Vincent wanted to work together with Elder Han to fight against the mysterious Baron Eldo who seemed to be some kind of a gladiator, he saw that he suddenly collapsed.

Thud…

"Hahaha! So that Primal Burst would actually consume your life for a short period. Too bad, those knights you killed have incredible magic tools to protect their lives. Although you killed them, you must\'ve spent all your energy killing them." Baron Eldo laughed after realizing that Elder Han was already dead.

Without the elder, he deemed that this battle is over and all the things they left behind would be theirs. Although it\'s a pity that the knights died, they are still replaceable since the Knights Academy would always produce a thousand knights every year. It\'s quite easy to entice them and work for a Baron like them.

Baron Eldo casually looked at Vincent and the others but as soon as his eyes met with the Divine Doctor, he showed a pleasant smile.

"Doctor… It seems that you aren\'t too shaken about this situation." Eldo said.

"Hmph… I\'ve already seen many deaths with these eyes. Why? Do you dare kill me?" Divine Doctor Ji spoke as his old voice even sound threatening.

"Haha! No way… You are this kingdom\'s number one doctor. There is no way we would harm you. There are still many people that need you. You can leave now together with your servants… Oh… It would be difficult to travel without a guard though…" Baron Eldo seemed to be troubled as he indeed does not wish for this old doctor to die just yet.

They might still need him in the near future.

He then glanced at Vincent\'s group and noticed that they don\'t appear to be mercenaries or sect disciples… Instead, they seem to be merchants who were just on the same road.

"You people still killed a few of my knights… If you leave an arm here, I will not pursue this matter any longer and you can leave with the doctor."

Baron Eldo demanded as if he grasps the lives of Vincent and the others. If they really cut their arm, their life would completely turn upside down.

This Baron was too domineering! He should\'ve noticed that Mathias and Alfred were Master Magicians with capabilities to form one element each!

Mathias and Alfred glanced at each other as they were considering what to do.

\'We can try and kill him… He\'s alone.\'

\'But he might have a method to escape…\'

It will not be difficult for this Baron to find out their identity after meeting them. If that happened, their family might be the one to suffer instead.

This is how nobles exact their vengeance after all.

After a moment of hesitation, they looked at Vincent for an answer.

The latter expected this situation as he showed a wicked smile…

"Let\'s just not leave any evidence…"
