Chapter 598 Diamond Tier Manipulator

Chapter 598 Diamond Tier Manipulator

After seeing Vincent's confidence, Luna no longer convinced him to change his mind as she allowed him to fight.

In her mind, a direct battle against their "boss" doesn't seem appropriate if his subordinates are still doing fine. They should be battling them first before they could get a chance to fight against Vincent.

Agatha had similar thoughts to this but decided not to voice them out.

Anyway, even though they believe that Vincent should only fight if they were unable to, they would still respect his decision.

It only feels weird for them as it seems like Vincent was protecting them instead of the other way around.

Luna could only shake her head as she returned to her position and stood beside Agatha.

The two remained silent and carefully observed the surroundings.

They have to ensure that there will be no foul play in this match... For them, it's quite impossible for Vincent to lose against a lone Diamond Tier Manipulator. If that happens, it might be because of external factors so they can't allow such a thing to happen.

Their vigilance remained on high alert as they monitor the surroundings. n)-o(/v--E))l()b--1.)n

Meanwhile, Vincent has already activated his Item Sense Ability.

Activating his Energy Sensitivity Vision creates a weak fluctuation of energy and could be sensed by experts. However, his system's Item Sense ability is completely untraceable.

Luckily, after leaving the temple, the range of his system ability has returned to normal.

'There's really a problem inside that temple. I wonder what's suppressing my sensing there.' Vincent said in his mind as he allowed his Item Sense to find the opponent's automatons.

At this time, he realized that his opponent has two Humanoid Diamond Tier Automatons that has already taken a position. Furthermore, they have an incredible stealth ability and were already above the arena and hiding from everyone's eyes.

'They already set up the battlefield before my arrival... Impressive.' Vincent mused as he looked around. Over a hundred audiences were anticipating their fight.

After looking at them, his gaze returned to the black-robed Manipulator. He can't see his face since it's probably the effect or ability of the robe itself.

It's a pity that he won't be fighting that arrogant young man at the entrance of the temple but Vincent felt that this is also a good thing. Since that person was only a Crystal or Platinum Tier Manipulator, fighting against him wouldn't properly show the might of his items.

'Hmm?' Vincent then noticed a couple of familiar spheres hanging on the man's belt. Those couple of spheres were definitely Dormant Automatons. As for their level, he couldn't accurately tell at the moment.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, the referee for the duel arrived while riding a floating platform. It seems to be a magical cubicle and it was very eye-catching.

'So they can use automatons in this form?' Vincent felt surprised as he realized that this city truly deserved to be called a modern city.

There is a woman standing inside this floating cubicle and she should be the referee for this duel. She has long red hair and from Vincent's distance, he can only tell that she looks very pale. It's completely different from the normal paleness he had seen before as it seems like she had lost litters of blood.

Then, Vincent heard her voice like she was talking close to him...

"Vincent and Sir Roel, the elders mentioned that killing is not allowed and the winner will be decided if one has become incapable of combat. In case there is a chance of dying, I will intervene essentially stopping the fight. However, I'd like to add that I'm not perfect. I may not save you time so do your best to survive... Of course, I will do my best to stop any accidents from happening... You don't need to hold back at all."

Vincent felt suspicious about this referee... He can feel that she actually wanted a bloodbath in this match.

The man whom she called Sir Roel only nodded with a smile before turning his gaze to Vincent. On the other hand, Vincent thanked the referee as he hope that she'll properly officiate the match.

"I'll give you another 20 seconds to prepare."

With that said, the referee maintained her silence as she opened a book to read something.

At this time, Vincent pulled out his pistol and checked his magazine.

Clunk!

After making sure that it was loaded, Vincent left the pistol's safety off. In the meantime, the Diamond Tier activated his dormant Automaton.

It was a couple of floating hands... That's right. This automaton isn't in the shape of an animal or human. However, it is designed similarly to a part of a human! Vincent didn't expect such a sight. This duel, even though it hasn't started yet, has truly broadened his horizon.

If he wasn't aware that it was an automaton, he would think that it was probably a Legendary Magic Artifact or a Fusion Art of a Grand Magus.

At this point, Vincent also heard the exclamations of the audience as this thing is probably not that common as well.

'Hmph... You wanted those two floating hands to be the focus of my attention instead of your invisible Automatons?' Vincent sneered as he easily realized the sinister plan of this person.

As the two completed their preparation, the female referee no longer hesitated as she announced the start of the battle.

"Fight!" With a wave of the flag signifying the start of the battle, the audience didn't make a sound and focused on the match.

Vincent let his Sentient Cube act on its own to protect his body. He only lifted his pistol and aimed at the black-robed Manipulator, he didn't even think of summoning his Book of Glutonny as he felt that it is unnecessary.

With a pull of the trigger, a gunshot was heard...

Bang!

The floating hands blocked the first shot but Vincent continued.

Bang!

Another bullet was shot and this time, the floating hand automaton was shockingly destroyed! With just two attacks, the Diamond Tier Automaton was wasted just like that!

Of course, it also means that he used two Legendary Grade Bullets!

Vincent didn't stop and continued. He's planning to destroy the other automaton under everyone's watch!
