Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 878: Main Body

”Aersus?” Vale repeated as he recalled the Aersus and Archfey Mennena had previously worked together to take the Golden Key connected to the Celestial Prison.

However, Aersus ultimately left after having a bout against Orden. As for Mennena, she had also disappeared after offering his Avatar to unlock a hidden aspect of his physique in exchange for the Golden Key.

After that, they no longer heard anything about Aersus and Mennena.

However, even though Aersus was a powerful Dragon, if Orden could make him run away, Vale was confident that heʼd also win.

”Mhmm... I heard that Aersus is an Evil Dragon... You two will come with me.” Vale said in the end.

The two were shocked when they realized that the Immortal indeed knew about Aersus, but he was still unafraid!

ʼYou!ʼ

They wanted to complain about his behavior, but it didnʼt take long before the Spirit of Eternal Slumber targeted them... Soon, their focus wavered, and then the three of them collapsed, unconscious.

Vale quickly captured Cyper together with the two Expert Arcanists, who seemed to be related to the Dragon. He finished binding the three with shadows to prevent any escape before sending them to Deniseʼs laboratory, guarded by her scary Android.

To be honest, he could really feel the power of death coming from that Android. He didnʼt expect that Deniseʼs ability to create such a complicated golem would be so advanced in just a few years. I hasnʼt even been a decade since she started learning how to make golems!

ʼI just hope that it would stay obedient.ʼ Vale mused as he finally turned his attention to Elysia, who had become a private tutor for a prestigious family under the Mystic Arts Faction.

Elysia seemed to be working diligently as a tutor after observing her for half an hour.

Unlike Cyper, she didnʼt seem to have any plans of escaping...

Furthermore, Vale was no longer in a hurry to capture her since she was the last Time Manipulator he needed to capture.

As soon as she was alone in her room, Vale used his Shadow Domain and summoned Somnus.

The spirit drifted into the room, its ethereal form was unnoticed by Elysia.

After that, Vale also entered the room and Elysia didnʼt seem surprised.

”Did you kill my friends?” Elysia suddenly asked the figure who had silently entered her room. She had no idea how they were found out after changing their aura and changing their appearances. It seemed as if there were some trackers attached to them, but they had no idea how they could get rid of it since they couldnʼt feel anything.

”I havenʼt killed them yet... I might be doing that soon. After all, your presence here isnʼt welcome.” Vale replied as he took the seat in front of Elysia.

”Weʼre only here to find the one who has the Golden Key and to confirm the presence of the Divine Extractor.” Elysia suddenly said as she looked at Vale without showing signs of being afraid.

It seemed that even if she was killed, she wouldnʼt mind it at all.

Vale gently nodded as it seemed that he had truly controlled the situation. She knew that she had zero chance of winning against him or escaping from him.

”The Golden Key might be possible to obtain after the expedition group returned. That also includes the complete stoppage of the Time Manipulators that might enter this Realm. However, as for the Divine Extractor, I donʼt know about that.” Vale said with a cold smile on his face.

Elysia knew that they were really blinded by the possible prestige theyʼd get if they learned more about the Divine Extractor or if they captured this person.

However, the Shadow Immortal, whom they suspected as the Divine Extractor, was already beyond their imagination in terms of strength... He even has powerful retainers... Immortals, Demon Saints, Dragons, Vampires, and others that they may not be aware of.

This Immortal wasnʼt in a developing stage at all!

ʼThe power of Divine Extraction is too god-like... If someone could stop him, it could only be the Chaos Alchemist or the Blood Soulcaster.ʼ Elysia thought for a moment before shaking her head.

”Alright... Can you make more Edo Stones?” Vale suddenly asked.

This question caught her off guard... She wasnʼt sure if the other Time Manipulators had already answered him, and he was just trying to confirm whether their answer was true.

At this point, there was no need to light and just answer him truthfully if they wanted to live...

”Itʼs possible as long as I have the materials I need to make them.” Elysia, after taking a deep breath.

”Good...” As Vale felt satisfied with this answer, he signaled to Somnus to act.

Then, Elysia felt a sudden wave of fatigue. Instinctively, her mind tried to fight it as she struggledto stay alert.

Thud...

However, despite her efforts, she succumbed to the sleep-inducing power of Somnus.

Vale carried Elysia and ensured she couldnʼt awaken for a while.

ʼDid I become too strong?ʼ Vale wryly smiled as he didnʼt expect that it would be this easy to capture all the Time Manipulators who had entered their Human Realm.

He hadnʼt realized that his strategy of using Somnus to put them to sleep was their weakest

spot.

Apparently, their abilities required intense focus to manipulate, and Somnusʼ power directly affected their brains, making it nearly impossible for them to defend against.

With Wasa, Liora, Cyper, and Elysia all captured, Vale felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although they seemed weak in front of him, he knew how dangerous these people could be in manipulating Time itself.

In any case, he had neutralized a significant threat, and taking their knowledge and understanding their abilities would be his next step.

However, he recalled an issue that might cause him a problem later on.

ʼAersus... If youʼre still here hiding in the continent... I have to make sure that you wonʼt be able to cause any problems.ʼ Vale thought to himself as he recalled how devious this creature was even when he had first met its soul in the Mystic Soul Tower.

Vale then thought for a moment before he decided to call for Mennenaʼs spirit.

Well, he suspected that the mysterious Archfeyʼs main body was actually imprisoned in the Celestial Prison Realm!
