Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 1174: The Last Targets

Unfortunately for Adam, he was only an Avatar. The only one who could truly help him with this case was the real body, which was currently inside the Immortal Tower.

After all, he didnʼt have the Divine Extraction System that could only be used by the real Vale.

ʼI wonder how many Avatars did he make already…ʼ Vale mused. After all, he was unsure how much damage to the soul heʼd get using this Avatar Creation Spell.

He was still unaware whether it had a limit or not…

Only the original Vale or those nearby Avatars would know.

”How many Spell Models do you want to remove?” Vale asked.

”Just one… However, I still want to see how effective it is. If itʼs safe, I will have my friends ask for help as well. Of course, we are willing to pay.” Adam explained.

Vale nodded, and soon, he explained how he was only an Avatar and couldnʼt help him. However, once his real body was ready to accept a job, heʼd be immediately contacted.

”How can we contact you if weʼre ready to help?” Vale asked.

”You can just visit any branch of the Church of the Three Paragons and inform the head priest... Iʼll be immediately informed.” Adam replied.

After Adam explained how to contact him through the Church, Vale immediately took note of it. Then, he observed Adamʼs disguise…

”So,” Vale said with a faint smile, ”you already know, donʼt you? About the Chaos Immortals falling one by one.”

Adam nodded after seeing Valeʼs smile.

”Of course. No one else would dare. The Chaos Immortals are feared across the continent. Only someone like you would have the audacity to strike them down in their own cities.”

Vale chuckled… He didnʼt think that he was the only one who would actually dare do it, but still, he was amused by his words.

”And yet, they are still unsure… They suspect me, but also other Immortals, even the orthodox Churches were being suspected… Thatʼs the beauty of it.”

Adam shook his head… He believed that Vale was definitely strong.

However, he had a lot of people to protect. He might win against the Chaos Immortals one-on-one, but if it affected the others under his protection, it would not be good.

”Youʼre playing a dangerous game. If they discover itʼs you, theyʼll rally their strongest, and even your Dragons might be taken away.”

Vale shrugged lightly. ”Let them rally. The more they gather, the easier it will be to cut them down. Tell me, Adam… do you want to join me? We could make this faster.”

Adam shook his head firmly. ”No. Not now. I have to protect the Church of the Three Paragons. If they learn of my involvement, the Church will suffer. Weʼre still too few, still trying to recruit and baptize more members. If I risk our stability now, everything weʼve built could collapse.”

Vale didnʼt really plan to recruit the man, but he understood his reasoning.

”Well… We have different priorities… I guess the Church will prosper now with your lead.” Vale muttered as he couldnʼt help but recall the previous leaders of this church who were corrupt to the point that he had to eliminate them.

Adam smiled and agreed…

”Mhmm… I fight differently. My duty is to ensure the Church survives. However, I can assure you that we will at least help deal with the Chaos Crusaders.” Adam explained.

For a while, the two spoke quietly, exchanging thoughts about the Chaos Immortalsʼ growing greed, their fractured leadership, and the paranoia spreading through their ranks.

Adam warned that the Chaos Immortals would eventually retaliate, while Vale insisted that fear was already weakening them from within.

Finally, Adam rose. ”Iʼve taken enough of your time. When your true body is ready, I might also send word through the Church. Until then… keep safe… The Chaos Immortals were smart.”

Vale nodded as he stood. ”Very well. Protect your Church. Iʼll continue my hunt.”

Adam gave a final nod before leaving the inn…

As the door closed, Vale finally felt a lot more relaxed and ready to fight…

His thoughts turned back to Seo and Aven, the investigators who had grown greedy from the spoils of the fallen.

In just a few moments, Vale was ready to leave to deal with Seo and Aven.

***

Night fell over the western city, and the streets had soon become quiet except for the faint patrols of Chaos Crusaders.

Within their newly claimed mansion, Immortal Seo and Immortal Aven reveled in their greed.

The tributes of three fallen Immortals now flowed into their coffers, and they drank fine spirit wine as if celebrating victory.

But Vale was already moving.

Clad in his priestly robes with the goat‑emblem mantle, he walked calmly through the darkened streets. His aura was serene, and to the mortals who glimpsed him, he looked just like a wandering priest…

However, to Seo and Aven, he would soon be death itself.

Inside the mansion, Aven suddenly stiffened. ”Do you feel that?”

Seo frowned, his Divinity probing the air.

”We have a visitor... Interesting…”

Before they could react, the doors opened without a sound. Vale stepped inside with his hood shadowing his face.

”Who dares—” Seo began, but his words faltered as Valeʼs eyes glowed faintly.

It was the Mindpierce Invocation.

Seo staggered instantly while clutching his head as his awareness fractured. His Divinity protected his mind immediately, but the spell had already bypassed his defenses.

Aven realized that the assassin was already right in front of them!

”You!”

He immediately summoned a surge of Chaos Energy to strike the intruder. But Valeʼs second spell was already weaving through the air.

Delirium Echo.

A psychic wave struck Aven, multiplying his thoughts into a storm of illusions…

He saw assassins crawling from the walls, chains binding his limbs, and shadows lunging at him. His Chaos Energy lashed out wildly, destroying furniture, shattering walls… but he struck nothing and just destroyed the surroundings by himself!

Seo tried to recover, but Valeʼs hand lifted calmly.

Cerebral Eclipse.

The spell collapsed Seoʼs mental domain into silence…

Then, it was at this time that Aven screamed, as his mind was getting crushed under the weight of false realities. Valeʼs final spell cut through the chaos.

Mind Collapse.

Invisible bindings severed Avenʼs rationality entirely…

Then, as Vale confirmed that the two Immortals were already eliminated, he heard a voice behind him.

It came from Lotus, who had hurriedly come to share some important news about the Spirit Realm!
