Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 856: Trapped

Elysia felt so excited after seeing the presence of an Immortal. Although it was only an Avatar based on its fluctuation of energy, she still used her Mind Network to inform everyone about her current situation and discovery.

Wasa, the leader of the Time Manipulators, also liked this development.

”An Immortal with Holy Attribute? Is that the Holy Saint of the Church here?” He mused.

Everyone could somehow agree with this, but Elysia seemed to have a different opinion.

”I think itʼs an Avatar of the Fortune Goddess.” She suddenly said, which made the other Time Manipulators even more excited.

”Letʼs capture her... No, weʼre going there now...”

”Right... We canʼt let her escape. An Immortalʼs knowledge would be invaluable in our mission.”

Elysia panicked after hearing her friends say this.

She immediately spoke up and shared her concerns.

”Wait! I think itʼs dangerous. Somethingʼs telling me that if we use Temporal Spells in the vicinity, we would get into trouble. Iʼm not sure, but I think someone is looking for us, and they donʼt have a good intention... Ugh... I canʼt provide any evidence, but my intuition rarely fails me.” She explained.

Thankfully, her friends werenʼt stubborn and didnʼt push with their plans.

”Alright, your Airship is descending right now, correct?” Wasa asked.

”Yes... I think weʼre in the middle of nowhere since this is so sudden.” She replied.

”Very well, weʼll use our movement spells from afar, and weʼll just run to your location. Weʼll look into the situation then. If we do not notice a problem, then weʼll change our plan and capture the Immortal.” Wasa announced.

After this their Mind Network was cancelled as Elysia found a safe place within the Airship to watch the battle.

Although the Dark Magicians were in a tough situation, she could tell that havenʼt shown their true might just yet. Aside from the Broken Arcana, she believed those Ritualists had been chanting for a while now would soon summon something that could fight against the Immortal.

”An Immortal with a Holy Attribute, huh... It would be amazing if Elysiaʼs intuition is right... I hope itʼs really the Avatar of the Goddess herself.” Wasa, the leader of the Time Manipulators, smiled evilly after reaching this thought.

With the five of them working together, he knew that an Avatar wouldnʼt be too much of a problem for them.

Anyway, he was currently high above the sprawling prison complex where a powerful creature was being held.

Wasa stood in silent contemplation. The room he was in was filled with Arcane energies that were quite chaotic and threatening to explode. To be exact, he was in the control room of this Prison Tower.

Before him, three Arcanists from the Transformation Arts Faction lay bound and silenced by the intricate threads of his Time Binding Spell.

Their eyes showed fear and defiance while their mouths were sealed shut by the magic that held them captive.

Wasaʼs gaze turned towards the cell where the area where a Demon Saint was imprisoned... ʼHmm... I guess I still have plenty of time.ʼ He muttered as he approached the cell of the Demon Saint.

The very walls and iron bars seemed to be creaking at this moment... The chains binding the Demon Saint also seemed to be weakening at every moment, but because of the Formation Arts embedded, the chains would immediately repair itself as if it was immortal.

It was quite an interesting method of binding a Demon Saint.

”To think that a small faction with only Half-Immortals is able to capture a Demon Saint... Thatʼs really impressive.” Wasa muttered, as he already knew from the three Transformation Artists that their Faction only had 4 Half-Immortals from their four main families.

However, thanks to the Shadow Immortal who had heavily injured this Demon Saint, they were able to capture this Rank 29 Demon Saint, Artagos.

Approaching the cell slowly, Wasa raised a hand and dispelled one of the wards that guarded the Demon Saintʼs chamber.

One of the barriers was destroyed, revealing the full figure of the Demon Saint, who was heavily injured. He wasnʼt recovering any strength because of the strange Formation Arts that seemed to be reversing the time. However, it certainly had a different principle from Time Spells.

Nonetheless, this Demon Saint just remained quiet and didnʼt even bother to look at Wasa. ”Speak, Demon Saint...” Wasaʼs voice cut through the oppressive silence... ”I seek knowledge of the Shadow Immortal... Tell me what you know of his whereabouts and if you got extracted by him once.”

As soon as Artagos heard about extraction, his eyes flickered as he recalled what had happened to the other Demon Saints who had failed to escape from the Shadow Immortal,

and some of those were even chased to the Abyss Realm.

The Demon Saintʼs eyes gleamed with a malevolent light as he looked at Wasa with a mix of curiosity and contempt.

”Free me...” The Demon Saint replied without answering Wasaʼs question.

However, Wasa smiled after hearing this since this was what he had expected from the Demon Saint.

”If you make a contract with me, I will not just free you... I will also heal you and make you even stronger...” Wasa said as he gave another offer.

In the meantime, all the other Time Manipulators were also finishing or abandoning their current tasks as soon as they heard Elysiaʼs report.

Liora immediately left the vicinity of the Mystic Soul Tower. She initially planned to explore this Tower by using force since she wasnʼt allowed in the first place. However, since this exploration may take long, she decided to visit Elysia first.

It was the same for Cyper, who had intended to fight against the members of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets... In his opinion, this mysterious Church seemed to be stronger than the Church of the Fortune Goddess, and their involvement in various phenomena in this realm, like the existence of the Shadow Immortal, must be fully investigated.

Lastly, there was Ivan, the youngest Time Manipulator, who was currently engaged in a fight against Vampire!

ʼI need to escape from here!ʼ Ivan thought as he realized that his supposedly easy kill turned out to be a trap!
