Chapter 262 Tower Lord

As Vincent felt a huge pain after losing 80 durability points from that single attack, he felt another overwhelming energy coming back at him…

'Hmm? My Pseudo-Celestial Energy is returning? What's happening?'

Vincent mused as he felt rampaging energy returning to his core… Perhaps, if he has a normal Mana Core then he would be done for good. It was very violent in the beginning after all.

However, what he has right now is a Synthetic Celestial Core gifted by the system and one of its functions is to filter this energy!

Instead of causing havoc within his body, it easily becomes tamed after it was suppressed by the special core.

Vincent then heard Magnus' delightful laugh as he realized that he probably used a technique or magic tool to reflect his attack!

He was most likely celebrating now after successfully "returning" Vincent's attack.

Anyway, Magnus was still unable to escape the sudden destruction of the floor as he was still at the center of a small crater. He has a few scratches on his body caused by the rubbles but it wasn't that significant with his current strength.

Vincent smiled as he used this opportunity to repeat the attack… Although it's very impressive to have a magic tool that is capable of returning another magic tool's attack, Vincent wasn't too impressed at this since he can simply cast another strike. This is the good thing about this Basilisk Gauntlet's Groundbreak.

It doesn't have a cooldown! Although the durability consumption will increase if he continuously uses it, it doesn't matter right now.

He then tried activating the Groundbreak again as he didn't even have to use his Energy Refill Card thanks to Magnus' move.

Currently, he has one Full Energy Refill Card and four pieces of 25% Energy Refill Card in his system inventory. These cards, as the name implies, can refill his synthetic core with Pseudo-Celestial Energy. They were rare items and thankfully, he doesn't have to use one of them yet.

'Groundbreak!'

Another burst of energy surprised Magnus! This time, he only had his magician robe and internal mana to stop the attack!

"Aaaargghh!"

His delightful laugh was suddenly changed into a scream of pain as the crowd shivered at this sudden flip in the situation. Vincent's follow up attack surprised them a lot.

Many of them thought that he already spent all of his energy in his first strike!

He can actually use powerful Mana Arts continuously? Even most of the Tier 1 Mana Arts have a cooldown time! However, Vincent's Gauntlet seems to be capable of ignoring this as he just landed another strike…

Based on their estimation, the amount of mana that is capable of doing this should be at the level of Low-Rank Archmage already. Such a deep Mana Cultivation from a 15-year-old young man is certainly rare even for the Black Tower Organization.

The female referee, who was able to easily feel the movement of mana on the stage was even more surprised.

She recognized Magnus' previous move of reflecting the Mana Art thrown at him since there is a Magic Tool and Tier 4 or 5 Mana Arts capable of doing this. However, she didn't even notice any signs of struggle from Vincent!

It should be able to at least hurt him externally, right?

This is what she thought since she's unaware of Vincent's current physique. Well, even Vincent may have even forgotten the special change in his current body.

This is not just the changes after he consumed the Mana Upheaval Potion but because of the pills that he had consumed when his vision was taken by the blind goddess.

That's right, during the first few weeks of his blindness, Vincent went into a despair before he decided to grind his system levels instead.

At that time, he was able to consume a fully enhanced pill that he bought from Aiden, a Tier 1 Alchemist from a small town when he was on his way to the Zemin Clan.

This pill is the Metal Body Pill and he bought 10 bottles of them!

Needless to say, this Metal Body Pill that should lose its effectivity every time it was consumed, was not a problem to Vincent with his enhancement and ascension.

He had no issues consuming them to his limit making his physique almost comparable to a barbarian.

This is the reason why Vincent only felt the rampaging energy that was filtered by his Synthetic Celestial Core.

Bam!

Magnus dropped to the ground, unconscious.

With such a powerful attack that came from an amplified burst of Pseudo-Celestial Energy, Magnus fainted as he almost felt his core bursting…

The crowd was silent as they realized that the match is over… again.

They could still remember how Vincent just broke the ground with his punch and created a small crater that affected Magnus… He did this a couple of times and the arena just crumbled into many pieces…

Everything happened so fast.

Some of them were even surprised that the floor hasn't collapsed yet and brought them to the seventh floor.

Vincent then silently faced the female referee waiting for her announcement.

This time, she finally gave out a smile as if she had truly acknowledged Vincent's abilities…

"The victor of the final match, Vincent!"

A few people applauded after the announcement as the others were finally woken up to reality.

Magnus, the Tower Lord's disciple, was undoubtedly defeated!

None of them knows how the Tower Lord will react to this but this is definitely a huge piece of news that will surely spread not just within the First Tower City but throughout the whole territory of the Black Tower!

***

"Ugh… I guess I have to change or add an additional gift to Vincent, huh… I didn't think he would be able to accomplish this." Turhan, who had previously prepared to give a Unique-Rank Item as a reward to Vincent, helplessly smiled after hearing the announcement.

It was the same for Faviona who was already thinking of what Tier 4 Pill she can give as a gift to Vincent.

Right now, he should have a Yellow Emblem guaranteed at his name… There is also a chance of getting a Blue Emblem which Magnus will certainly receive as a direct disciple.

At this moment, everyone looked at the platform where the Tower Lord is supposedly seated only to find out that he was missing.

Suddenly several exclamations were heard as they realized that the Tower Lord is now standing in front of Vincent!
