Chapter 116 Opportunity
Vincent clenched his weapons tightly…
For some reason, instead of being worried or feeling fear because of how this turned out to be a large-scale battle all of a sudden, he felt inexplicably excited…
He was looking forward to meeting these powerful enemies in front of him!
More than that, he could finally freely use all his accumulated skills without caring for repercussions!
With his body filled with mana, or perhaps, Pseudo Celestial Energy, Vincent wanted to try using his Tier 1 Mana Arts and of course, his power as a 3-Star Aura Knight.
"Don't worry about me, Sir Vincent, I have Magic Tools to keep me safe and avoid them from targeting me. However, I don't have anything with me that I could use to fight, so please go ahead and help Lady Yulia's team."
Severin said as he looked at Vincent who was excited to join the fight. He already heard from Divine Doctor Ji that this young man isn't as simple as he seems. Although he was known to be a Potion Master thanks to his skills in alchemy, Doctor Ji had seen his fighting prowess first when their group was attacked by the two Barons who were serving Count Magnus.
"Very well. Please be safe."
Vincent said as he no longer hesitated and used his Shrouded Steps to move forward.
As soon as he triggered the skill that he learned from his grandfather, he felt his body become lighter…
More than that, because of his new form of energy, he can now use 30 Shrouded Steps before he has to cast it again!
It must be remembered that his original Shrouded Steps was only an 8-step movement technique.
However, with the improvement in his physique and adding his aura mastery, it increased by a few steps. Now, it increased even more as it reach thirty steps with only 20 units of Psuedo Celestial Energy!
'Incredible! It feels like I can do anything I want! This is it!'
Vincent looked around and noticed that the few soldiers from the Rebel Army who managed to penetrate the formation made by the Blue Storm Army were handled easily by the people from the Jung Clan and Zemin Clan…
However, the Barbarians seem to be quite tricky to deal with since a group of Master Magicians from the Rebel Army decided to support them from the back!
This became difficult even for the Lady Yulia team!
"Hmm? She's actually using a Tier 4 Mana Art? Is that a Mystic Eye as well?" Vincent muttered as he was getting closer to their group.
Lady Yulia's veil was already removed as she revealed her angelic face.
Her beauty is something that could compare to a Celestial Being but her eyes seem to possess a different level of power… It is definitely not a support type Mystic Eye like what Cedric and other appraisers have but an offensive type Mystic Eye!
"Hold!"
Lady Yulia shouted as dark energy started coiling around the bodies of the bronze-skinned barbarians.
It was at this time that the elders including Romain of the Zemin Clan started attacking with all their might.
"Graaahhh!"
The four barbarians struggled to get out of the dark energy coiling them as they were met by various elemental attacks from the Zemin Clan…
However, thanks to their abnormal physique, these elemental attacks couldn't kill them.
"It's our turn now!"
One of the Barbarians shouted as he managed to tear off the dark energy made by Yulia's Mystic Eye.
It wouldn't have been easy for them to escape from it but with the help of the Master Magicians who just used a Water Element to suck off or contain the dark energy, these barbarians managed to get out of their confinement and struggled their way to Lady Yulia.
"You people in the Rebel Army have gone crazy! Did you really think that there's a future with these Barbarians?! Why have you allowed them to reach this place! Don't you know what happened in the Second Rapture?! You fools!"
Lady Yulia angrily shouted as she retreated with haste. Although she trusts her defensive Mana Arts, she wouldn't waste her mana for that.
Furthermore, she can't continuously use her Mystic Eye's ability and needed to take cover for a while.
"Hmph! Die"
Her words were obviously ignored by the Master Magicians behind.
She can only grit her teeth as she waited for Romain to finish his preparations.
Unfortunately, Romain isn't a Mana Practitioner that could easily kill his enemy using his brute force or incredible sword techniques. However, he is still incredibly skilled as a Magic Craftsman!
That's right, he is one of the finest Magic Craftsmen within the Zemin Clan! They certainly have a method to kill the Barbarians but they have to eliminate the Master Magicians first!
"Lady Yulia! Focus on killing the Barbarians… I will deal with the Magicians behind!"
Suddenly Vincent appeared beside Yulia. With his Shrouded steps, he didn't leave any footprint as he moved like a ghost!
None of them even thought that he was using a Tier 1 Mana Art for this since they have never seen anyone who had achieved a Perfect State for this skill.
"You'll take care of them?" Yulia asked. She has no time to be amazed by Vincent's movement technique.
"Yes… Please contain the Barbarians one more time so I can get close to them without any problem."
"Got it! Wait for a moment!"
Yulia could only nod as there really is no one who could help them right now. Most of the Magic Knights and Magicians of the Blue Storm Army are also dealing with the armored soldiers of the Rebel Army.
This armored unit is certainly harder to deal with since they are all wearing Magic Equipment from head to toe and they are also disciplined as they are using battle formations and real-time tactics thanks to their commander.
Bam! Bam!
Romain and the others were using their Magic Tools to shoot the Barbarians with elemental attacks. However, they weren't dealing significant damage as the Master Magicians behind the Barbarians provided them with some kind of Mana Armor as well.
"Vincent!" Lady Yulia shouted as she gave her signal.
"I'm ready!" Vincent replied as he looked at the Master Magicians from the distance.
"Hold!"
As soon as Yulia heard Vincent's answer, she immediately used her Mystic Eyes' ability.
Again, Dark Energy coiled around the Barbarians as the Master Magicians from the Rebel Army cast a vortex of water element to weaken the Dark Element. With this help, it would allow the Barbarians to forcefully overpower the energy holding them.
Vincent has to move quickly!
"You haven't learned at all! Haha! This will be your end! Hurry! Give the Barbarians what they needed! Haste!"
"Haste!"
Soon, the few Master Magicians cast a Wind Elemental Mana Art to hasten the Barbarians' movement.
However, as soon as they finished casting it, they heard an anguished cry beside them!
"Aaaccckk!"
One of the Master Magicians who was trying to cast the Wind Haste had his arm torn and shattered! It was smashed by a young man who was wielding a cane and a silver dagger!
"Where did he come from?!"
"Hurry! Kill him!"
Vincent's stature was small so he doesn't appear to be threatening. If they would make a guess, he was probably one of the young masters of the large clans and wanted to make a name for himself by killing them.
"Burn him! Fireball!"
Of the dozen of the Master Magicians helping the Barbarians, three of them were Water Element users while two of them can use Fire Element.
The others were either capable of using Wind or Earth elements.
As soon as Vincent had gotten close, he killed the Wind Element User since most of these magicians have speed-type Mana Arts and they could easily escape from him if they wanted to.
Vincent then saw two balls of fire chasing him as soon as he incapacitated the first Master Magician.
"Hmph!"
He didn't feel any pressure from those fires. Instead, he trusted the layers of protections he made as he charged at the other Wind Element users whom he had seen cast the Wind Haste to the Barbarians…
"Don't underestimate me!" The old Master Magician who seemed to be in his fifties didn't back down as well as he opened his palm to stop Vincent.
"Wind Dagger!"
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The sharp daggers made of pure wind elements headed towards Vincent. This time, he can tell that they have a strong penetrative force so he couldn't just ignore it. Not even the effect of his Serene Water could stop it.
Instead, he wielded his Silver Ruin Dagger and pushed his Aura Resonance to the limit. Now, he could feel the direction where the Wind Daggers are aimed at.
Two Wind Dagger aimed for his head while another one was to his heart.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
He stopped the attacks so easily as the two Fire Element Users grit their teeth as they controlled their fireballs to hit the ground instead.
Apparently, once Vincent had gotten close to the Wind Element User, they realized that the old man will die as well from their balls of fire.
Although they want to kill Vincent, it's not to the point that they will sacrifice their comrade.
However, this is a huge mistake from their side.
As soon as the fireballs hit the ground, an explosion occurred as dust and smoke covered the surroundings…
This is a perfect opportunity for an Aura Knight like him!
"Soul Pressure!"
