Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 623 Last Town

?623 Last Town

During the past week, Vale was able to complete a few more Spell Fusions.

Aside from the Presence Shift Spell, which was a fusion of Lightspeed Spell, Levitation Spell, and Natureʼs Guise, including some Elf Essence, Vale also had Crimson Plague, Water Vortex, and Soul Reaper Spells.

The Crimson Plague was a fusion of Blood Curse, Toxic Breath, and Savage Curse. Of course, Vale also included 500 points of Malevolent Essence that probably helped to make it a Level 7 Spell on the spot.

The Water Vortex Spell, on the other hand, was only a fusion of the Tidal Wave Torrent and Water Domain Spells. He didnʼt add any essence to it, so the Fusion didnʼt seem that great.

However, Vale actually liked this Spell a lot since it had more power and its usage was more direct. Furthermore, he realized that Spell Fusions, which was done with only two Spells, could still be used for another Fusion, unlike those three Spell Fusions!

Perhaps it was because the Spell Models werenʼt that complicated yet, so fusing them with other Spells could still be done.

Finally, the Soul Reaper Spell was from the Fusion of Soul Bind, Reaper Scythe, and Lionʼs Roar, including 1,000 Elf Essence.

Vale actually wanted to use this Soul Reaper Spell against the Demon Saint, since he believed that it could easily kill the Demon Saint.

However, it means that he wouldnʼt be able to extract the Demon Saint alive, which may cause a poor result with his Extraction.

ʼI should find other targets…ʼ

Unfortunately, his Soul Reaper Spell wasnʼt effective against Evil Creatures so he wasnʼt able to try the Spell on them.

They have no Souls, and they only have Spirits controlling their bodies… It means that Soul Reaper has nothing to target at all.

”I wonder if there are other Demon Saints…” Vale muttered as he looked at the mess theyʼd made during the battle.

The battle this time was too fast-paced. If not for his current agility and strength, he believed that he wouldnʼt even be able to keep up with the Demon Saintsʼ movements.

ʼHe probably has more than 50 Strands in both Strength and Agility.ʼ Vale mused as he informed Lisa and the others that everything was alright.

He also didnʼt bother checking the Abyss Key and the Demon Saintʼs horns for now. He believed that they werenʼt too important aside from using them in Alchemy or crafting Magic Artifacts.

As he returned to the small town, he realized that Lisa had her red gloves ready, and Chad had also worn the cape he had given.

These two items were indeed the Magic Artifacts that Vale had gotten from Commander Gram and Vice Commander Laura of the Kingdomʼs Royal Knights.

They appeared ready to fight…

ʼIt really doesnʼt suit him…ʼ Vale mused, referring to Chadʼs cape.

Of course, Chad didnʼt like the cape at all because he also thought that it didnʼt look good on him. However, if there was an emergency, Chad didnʼt seem to care about it at all.

ʼWell… I also donʼt like wearing capes…ʼ Vale wryly smiled as he greeted the two.

”I heard that guy has horns! Is that a Halfling? Half-human and half-goat?!” Chad immediately asked as soon as Vale arrived.

”Haha… Is there even something like that?” Lisa laughed after she heard Chadʼs question.

”What? They do exist! I heard that thereʼs a Fairy Realm where those kinds of beings live!” Chad explained.

”Oh… That must be interesting.” Lisa finally said as she turned her attention to Vale.

”You donʼt look injured. Is that demon weak?”

Vale shook his head at this and answered. ”That Demon Saint is strong… However, it feels as if heʼs weakened. Iʼm guessing that it hadnʼt been long since he arrived here.”

Chad and Lisa gently nodded as they immediately understood what he was trying to say.

In their third year in the Academy, they learned that summoning a mystical being through proper ritual and sacrifice would barely weaken their power. In exchange, the summoned being couldnʼt last for long.

However, mystical beings that had forcefully stayed in the Human Realm, either because of their own will or because of their summonerʼs will, would have their bodies weakened by the mysterious law of the Realm itself.

Nevertheless, once these mystical beings survived and adapted in a few months, years, or even a decade, they would have their full power returned, and the Realm could no longer restrict them.

”That doesnʼt sound good… If that demon is strong, then he probably needs a year or two before being in his peak state… And I have a feeling that heʼs not alone.” Lisa muttered as he recalled the aura of the Demon Saint a while ago.

”Itʼs possible he had companions. Now that heʼs gone. His companions will surely become more careful.”Vale said.

”Right, whereʼs Magnus?” Vale suddenly asked, noticing that Magnus wasnʼt present.

He had already deactivated his Magic Zone, so he couldnʼt use it to search for him.

”Heʼs in the Airship, waiting for us. Weʼre already done unloading our products. We also received the payments. We can continue on our mission now.” Lisa replied

”Very well... Letʼs move on. There are still numerous towns and cities awaiting our visit.” Vale declared as they departed from Mayor Liliaʼs small town.

Vale could only hope that their provision of Talismans, Potions, and Amulets would alleviate the nuisance of the Evil Spirits.

Before long, Vale and his companions journeyed through six towns and three cities, successfully vending thousands of their wares. While it was feasible to sell their entire stock in a single large city, doing so would diminish the productsʼ value and fail to aid other cities in preparing for the impending Abyss Realm Invasion.

As they approached the final town, situated not far from the accursed forest, Valeʼs ESP Spell appeared to have been triggered.

”Another enemy?” Vale pondered, alerting Lisa and the rest to prepare for potential danger.

Nevertheless, since the danger could be detected, he believed that it wasnʼt that Demon Saint who had the ability to completely hide their presence from him.
