Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 1098: War Zone

Adam found this quite unbelievable.

Although the Shadow Domain had done really well so far, he knew that they had already exhausted their forces. Once the Clovis Cityʼs Formation barrier was broken, it would be very easy for the Chaos Beasts to swarm that city.

In his mind, the Shadow Domain was already done for…

”Even without Vale? If Iʼm not mistaken, heʼs not here anymore…” Adam replied as he knew that Vale was no longer in this realm. He couldʼve ascended or perhaps escaped already.

”Even without Vale…” Merlin confirmed through telepathy.

”Theyʼve prepared for this. The celestial and the Demon Saints were just a part of the bigger plan.”

Adam was silent for a moment. ”You want me to wait?”

”I want you to be ready… When the tide turns and the Chaos Immortals start falling, thatʼs when you move to deal with Mennena, since youʼre aware of her capabilities.If you act now, youʼll be caught between two storms.”

Adam exhaled slowly.

”Fine. Iʼll wait. But if Mennena makes a move, I wonʼt wait...”

”Agreed… Just donʼt forget that weʼre on the same side. Even if our methods differ.” Merlin replied.

Soon, the connection faded.

Adam opened his eyes and his gaze turned to his knights.

”We will wait for now, but stay alert. If the Arch Fey moves, weʼll capture her...”

”Yes, sir!”

And so, while Clovis burned and the towers clashed with divine and arcane energy, a third force waited in silence…

***

After an hour, the barrier of the city had finally been cracked…

It wasnʼt a subtle fracture or a slow destruction… It was a violent rupture as the Chas Immortals created a tear in the protective dome that had shielded Clovis City.

The Chaos Immortals had finally succeeded after a concentrated barrage of Chaos Arts, combined with the unstoppable pressure from the Chaos Beasts…

They had forced open a path wide enough for their forces to swarm through.

”Theyʼve broken through!” one of the Professors shouted. His voice was heard across the cityʼs inner walls and warned everyone…

From the hole or tear they created, dozens of Chaos Immortals charged forward. Some of them are flying while others follow the swarm of Chaos Beasts, all of them hungry for blood…

But Clovis wasnʼt defenseless.

In the central plaza, two figures emerged… They were Lotus and Yvaine, the two Dark Spirits who had remained hidden since the siege began.

Their presence could not be mistaken as they exude a strong Dark Energy around their bodies…

”Now..” Lotus whispered.

Yvaine nodded.

Soon, they used the same method when they eliminated Merlinʼs pursuers before. But this time, there would be the two of them working together.

Soon, they raised their hands in unison, and a massive formation circle was activated... It appeared beneath their feet and soon, the ground trembled as the portal to the Spirit Realm began to open…

It didnʼt just open calmly… It created a swirling vortex of spectral energy designed to drag the Chaos Immortals into a realm they could not escape.

The same trap that had once saved Merlin from being robbed by the Chaos Immortals…

The sky darkened further as the portal expanded, its pull growing stronger. Several Chaos Immortals near the breach began to falter as their bodies were dragged toward the vortex.

As a matter of fact, there were about 10 or so unlucky Immortals who had been standing at the center of the vortex and were immediately dragged to the Spirit Realm…

”Itʼs working!” Yvaine shouted.

Lisa, Constance, the Dragons, and many other Immortals who had been watching this were also excited… After all, this was their last defense since they knew that fighting in the open would be their loss. They could only rely on tricks to defeat these Chaos Immortals.

Lotus gritted her teeth. ”Just a few more seconds and--”

But then, the sky split open.

A massive eye appeared above the battlefield, its iris focused on the portal that Yvaine and Lotus had created…

Just like before, it wasnʼt blinking and just staring at them coldly…

It was the Chaos Godʼs eye once again!

”No…” Lotus whispered.

”They brought it back?” Yvaine gasped.

High above, fifty Chaos Immortals hovered in formation…

This time, their bodies looked so weakened since they had been the ones preparing in secret, channeling the Chaos Godʼs eyes to counter whatever tricks the Shadow Domain was trying to pull off!

Whom~

Suddenly, the eye pulsed once.

And the portal shattered.

The vortex collapsed in an instant as the Formation Circle disintegrated into nothingness!

Just like that, the pull vanished and the Chaos Immortals stabilized mid-air as their momentum was was restored.

”Oh no…” Lotus staggered.

”We failed…” Yvaine whispered, falling to her knees… She had used too much energy just to create that massive portal to drag as many Chaos Immortals as they could.

Merlin, watching from the observatory, couldnʼt help but feel shocked after seeing the eye once again. He didnʼt expect them to fail like this…

”No… That was our last contingency…” He muttered.

At the very least, this was the last plan he knew that Magnus and Valeʼs Avatar arranged to defend the Shadow Domain from any invasion.

Unfortunately, Valeʼs Avatar was already destroyed, and no one could stop the Chaos Godʼs eye in the sky…

It remained open as its presence suppressed all Spirit Realm interference. The battlefield was now fully exposed.

And the Chaos Immortals took advantage.

They swarmed the city, targeting every known Immortal stronghold.

The towers were assaulted by the Chaos Immortals as they tried to find out their source of energy...

The dragons were also forced to retreat deeper into the cityʼs core, and the remaining Celestials scattered to regroup and protect the Shadow Castle...

Chaos Beasts then tore through the outer districts, hunting down Magic Automatons and Arcanists. Thankfully, the civilians had already evacuated.

The shelters beneath the city had been sealed hours ago, and the evacuation tunnels had been collapsed to prevent pursuit.

But the city itself was now a war zone.
