Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 224 Death

”Run! Call the police!”

”Hurry! Leave this area!”

”Aahh! Zombie! Zombie! A demonic practitioner is here!”

”Donʼt get in their way! Just run!”

The people on the streets started panicking as soon as they sighted the huge and terrifying Slender Zombies. The Slender Zombie that had been summoned this time was about 3 meters tall and would surely attract anyoneʼs attention.

The ground and walls would crumble wherever it went as its deathly aura spread throughout the surroundings.

A few pedestrians were already injured because of this, and Vale could do nothing about it.

He had to constantly move since the Zombie was equipped with Holy Artifacts and other Mystical Items.

He wasnʼt exactly sure what all these items could do, but he knew very well that Larkin had prepared it for him. Larkin probably wanted him to engage in combat with the Zombie but he wonʼt allow that to happen.

He didnʼt have enough preparation so it must be better not to confront the Zombie with the same spells he used against the previous Slender Zombie.

With this in mind, Vale decided to directly eliminate the Necromancer.

Once he did that, this Zombie should return to where it came from.

ʼTsk… That Phantom Knight is weird.ʼ Vale grumbled after seeing one of his Ghost Hands being shattered by the Phantom Knight. Although Larkin was injured, he was still a Necromancer and a missing limb wouldnʼt kill him.

Vale had to admit that he got careless as the Ghost Handʼs movement was too predictable. He didnʼt expect that Larkin could summon a Phantom Knight instantaneously. It must be due to an Artifact that he wasnʼt aware of.

Nevertheless, the other Ghost Hands utilized the surroundings to ensure they wonʼt get cut in half by the Phantom Knightʼs Sword.

He controlled the Hands to hide on the floor or ceilings to launch sneak attacks on Larkin.

”Hmm?”

Vale noticed something off as soon as his Magic Zone sensed the presence of the Beaver. Unlike the crows that are undetectable, this Beaverʼs fluctuation of energy was so obvious…

He also noticed that the Summoner friend of Larkin was blocking his path. He was holding a black book and doing his ritual to summon another being.

ʼHmph...ʼ Vale didnʼt mind his appearance as he cast his spell.

Spell Dispersion…

He wanted to return the Beaver to where it came from.

Unfortunately, Spell Dispersion didnʼt work against the beaver... 

ʼNo. Something happened when I used the Spell… Should I try a few more times?ʼ Vale squinted as he looked at the Beaver, who started turning red. He noticed a tiny reaction when he used the Spell Dispersion just now, so he felt he just needed to use it a few more times.

Then, he saw this summoned being rushing at him. He now had an idea of what was about to happen.

Vale decided not to call back his Ghost Hands and continue with his Spell Dispersion.

In his Phantasm State, he can see that his Spell Dispersion Light is still filled with energy. Based on his calculation, it should allow him to use it 10 or 12 more times without a problem.

Vale used the Spell Dispersion a couple more times, and while doing all of this, he was dodging the Slender Zombie behind him!

As the Beaver was about to reach Vale and seemingly about to explode, Vale finally succeeded in his fourth attempt!

Poof!

The Beaver that was about to explode vanished into thin air.

At the same time, the Summoner, who was about to complete his other summoning ritual, coughed violently as if he was drowned in water.

ʼItʼs the backlash of forcefully canceling a summon… Good!ʼ

Vale then found an opportunity to get closer to the man as he grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground.

Bam!

He didnʼt even have the time to scream in pain as he immediately passed out.

At the same time, Vale triggered his Extraction System!

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +20 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Intelligence +0.55 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Agility +0.75 ]

[ Extraction successful. Complete Grimoire Attraction Spell Model  ]

Vale had to stop with his extraction as the Slender Zombie was about to punch him to death.

He had to jump sideways to avoid the attack, but the poor Summoner couldnʼt avoid the punch at all.

Crash!

The punch hit the Summonerʼs body, almost turning the man into meat paste. It was so powerful that the ground also crumbled.

Then, Vale realized that the Zombieʼs Holy Artifacts started emitting a strong force that should be capable of purifying normal Dark Spells.

ʼNot good…ʼ

At this point, Vale also felt the presence of the police officers and other Arcanists rushing their way to this alley.

He had to finish this quickly.

ʼThis...ʼ

Suddenly, the Zombieʼs shadow blocked Valeʼs vision, and he immediately had an idea of what to do.

Shadow Mutilation!

Valeʼs hands were suddenly surrounded by darkness as soon as he activated the spell. He didnʼt waste any of his time as he swiftly made his move.

Riippp~

Before the Zombie could even make a step, Vale tore apart the shadow of the Zombie with his bare hands!

The Slender Zombie, who was about to rush to his side, was cut in half! This includes the Mystical Artifacts the Zombie wore on his torso!

Bam!

The Zombie was still squirming when it landed next to his feet, but Vale didnʼt stop as he extracted it for a couple of seconds.

He wanted to extract the Zombie for a bit more, but he realized that his Shadow Mutilation was still active!

It means that he could still use it on the Necromancer! He couldnʼt just waste his 1 Divinity Point. He might as well use it to the fullest.

Vale swiftly arrived close to Larkin, who was still dealing with the two Ghost Hands that Vale had summoned.

”Youʼre finally here! Iʼve been waiting for you!” Larkinʼs eyes lit up as soon as Vale showed up.

He was indeed faking his struggle and was merely waiting for Vale to arrive!

Of course, Vale didnʼt care about this as he already felt the dozen or so Evil Spirits surrounding him.

Larkin summoned another Phantom Knight to stop the Ghost Hands from causing trouble and pointed his finger at Vale.

”Iʼll show you a real forbidden art, Vale! I will now send you to hell! Gahahaha!”

As soon as he said this, Larkin triggered the Forbidden Dark Spell he had prepared for several minutes. This Spell should allow him to send Vale to the World of Undead with the help of the dozen Evil Spirits he gathered!

However, to his horror, the Spell he had prepared did not activate!

In his moment of shock, he failed to respond to Valeʼs actions.

He saw Vale picking up his shadow-like paper and tearing it apart with his bare hands.
