Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Faviona and Dianne were also alarmed as soon as they heard this revelation.

"What happened? Can you tell us more?" Faviona asked worriedly.

By now, Vincent should've received various messages from Vera City but since there is no message about the battle that is going on, it means that the enemies have either conquered the city already or they have a method of blocking their message from being sent outside.

"I apologize… The Soothsayer can't see that much since that place is heavily affected by a powerful deity… She may have to sacrifice her life if she tried getting more information." Elder Mirton calmly explained with a depreciating smile.

It would take a few days for Vincent's group to return to their city. It might even take a week.

In short, once they returned there, they may no longer have a place to return.

"Very well… Thank you for letting us know, Elder Mirton…" Vincent said as he looked at Duri and his team…

"Are you still planning to travel with me?" He asked.

Duri didn't hesitate as he answered. "It's part of our job. Bring us with you. If the enemies are the Martial Artists, our Automatons can handle them pretty well."

"That's right… We'll easily break their bones if they come to us."

"Leave it to us, Sir Vincent…"

The others added as they tried to show their confidence in Vincent.

Hearing this, Vincent no longer hesitated as he tried contacting Sir Turhan and his disciple Ayla. Unfortunately, they were still uncontactable and may have encountered danger inside the Dungeon they were exploring.

If that's the case, they might have to rescue them first before rushing back to the city.

"Do you have any transportation we can use to travel faster?" Vincent asked Maxime since he didn't have anything with him that might help with the transportation.

Maxime considered for a while before nodding to Vincent.

"I will make arrangements. Give me five minutes…"

"Thank you, Sir Maxime…" Vincent expressed his gratitude as he knows that Maxime would be using his Authority as a Battalion Commander.

As expected, it didn't take long before their rides arrived…

It was a group of 5 floating automatons! They looked like some sort of fancy platforms and each of them can probably hold 5 people!

From this, Vincent can subtly recall the one being used by the female referee when he fought against Roel!

However, the ones in front of their group were larger in size and had moved here quite quickly. If these things have enough "battery" then it would be perfect!

"Sir Duri, may I ask what kind of device is this?" Vincent asked as he felt that once he owned this thing, transportation within the city would be faster.

Although he's already thinking of adapting the cable car transportation that he saw here, these devices seem more reliable. Perhaps, he only needs Manipulator drivers to operate them.

"They're called Floating Golems… All of them are Crystal Tier Automatons but they can be controlled by Gold Tier Manipulators thanks to the unique Virtue Crystals used as their cores."

At this moment, Maxime showed up from one of the floating golems.

"Duri… Select five of your men to control each of these automatons. I'll pass the control over to them." Maxime said as he's currently controlling the five automatons at the same time.

Duri quickly acted and selected five people on his team. After Maxime handed over the control to them, their group swiftly left Sacred Garden Peak under the watch of many people.

Even those people in the cable cars were quite surprised to see the five floating golems carrying the group of 16 people.

"Vincent, can you try contacting Ayla once more?" Dianne asked. They've been traveling for half an hour but they still need a few days to arrive at the border of their territory.

She's worried that they might be too late so she wanted some assurance that they'll be able to arrive in time.

"Of course…" Vincent replied with a nod.

He then pulled out the communication crystal that was linked to Ayla's.

He poured a bit of energy into it but after a few attempts, there is still no response made on the other line.

Of course, this is normal if they are inside a dungeon but this is certainly piece of bad news for them. After all, no one would deliberately stay inside a dungeon for an extended period.

'I hope you guys are fine…' Vincent can only pray as he tried to control his emotions.

Their group has to stop traveling for some time because the controllers of the Automatons have to rest. Although it can also be resolved by changing the Manipulators who will be controlling the Automatons, the mechanical stress on the Automaton has to be taken into account.

Because they'd been hurrying, they were able to arrive at the border of the territory in just less than four days.

As soon as they arrived at the familiar Manor, Vincent immediately spread his senses to find the old lady living in this place.

"She's not here… Duri, can you sense anyone?" Vincent asked as he glanced at their hidden airship… It was already being covered by dried leaves after quite some time.

At this point, everyone is trying to look for traces that they left behind. This includes the Celestials and Manipulators with him.

"I can't find them… However, you mentioned that they entered a dungeon nearby. I can try to find it with my Automaton. Let's start from that." Duri replied as he pulled out a Platinum Snake Automaton.

Noticing Vincent's curious gaze, Duri explained.

"This snake is made of chaos stones… It can detect any ripples in space and it includes disruption made by the entrance of the dungeon…"

"That's very convenient…" Faviona replied with interest. She realized that this snake is their Scout-Type Automaton so it is quite useful…

Soon, the snake lead them to a ravine blocked by many rocks. It seems to have been like that because of an earthquake. However, the Celestials including Vincent confirmed that it is the entrance to the dungeon.

Without any more hesitation, Vincent entered the crevice created by the boulders and lead the team to the dungeon.
