Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

'Ahh…' Vale finally shifted his attention to one of the rewards he got from the system.

"Extraction Space…"

As he said this, he immediately found himself in an isolated space. It doesn't seem that his whole body entered this Space. Instead, it was only his soul, or maybe his vision, that was affected.

Inside this place, he could see his Spell Models, the Essences he had extracted, and the Ring he had gotten from the Evil Entity!

'So you're here…'

It was indeed the Doombringer Ring that he was looking for.

He immediately took this Ring, and as he thought of wearing it, he automatically exited the Extraction Space, and the mystical item was already in his hands.

'Cool… Now it feels like a real Divine System!' Vale was quite excited as he realized that he could now extract some "drop items" and leave them in his Extraction Space!

"I hope this was not a one-time thing."

Vale smiled as he stopped himself from wearing it.

Well, he had to get this appraised first to make sure that it was safe. After all, using his Phantasm State, he could tell that it contained very malicious Spells or power.

Whether it was targeted to the wearer or not, he wasn't aware of it. He had to be very careful about this thing since it came from an Evil Entity.

Anyway, he returned to the Extraction Space and left the Doombringer Ring there for now.

According to his system, he had already gained access to the Selective Extraction, Fuse, Analyze, and Reverse.

The Selective Extraction was something that he had already learned. However, because he learned of it on his own, it required a lot of focus and was difficult to control. There was also a high chance of failure in this method.

However, since the system had already given him access to this feature, it meant that everything would be a lot easier.

'No more random extraction…' Vale thought to himself.

The Fuse function made Vale realize he could start the Spell Fusion! In fact, he realized that the Essence that he had extracted could be included in the Fusion of Spells!

He couldn't wait to try it!

He immediately recalled all the combination spells that his Seniors told him! Most of them were Spell Fusions that were recommended by Cassie and a few from Anderson and Thelma.

'What if I fuse them with other Arcane Paths? I wonder if that would be possible… There might be a higher difficulty, but I must try it. Perhaps I could make a Spell Fusion that no one else had ever seen.'

Vale was lost in his thoughts as he started imagining his future with this incredible system feature. Of course, he wasn't expecting that this would be a completely easy Fusion that no setback could happen.

He probably had to pay a price or meet some conditions to complete the Fusion.

He then shifted his attention to the Analyze feature. To his surprise, it was actually an Appraisal Feature! This Analyze feature was only limited to what he had extracted, so he could not analyze the Temporal Timepeace and the suspicious items he got from the Dark Soul Tower, but he was still satisfied with it.

Finally, the Reverse Function included in the upgrade was quite interesting… After all, this Reverse Function allowed him to return something he had taken or extracted to their owner. It was something he had never thought or considered that might be needed.

After all, he had only considered extracting corpses that don't need their attributes and humans who deserved to be extracted to teach them a lesson.

'I'll probably not be using this, but since this was free, I'll gladly take it.' Vale thought to himself.

After absorbing all of this information, Vale couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

It feels like he had gone back to the start when he had first acquired his system.

There were plenty of new things he could explore with this completed version of the system, and he had also become incredibly strong after ascending to a Half-Celestial. He even gained a title that he didn't know whether it had a purpose or just a decoration on his attribute panel.

With so many changes that had happened to him, it wouldn't be wrong to call this a new start for him.

Vale then exited his Extraction Space and looked around.

He didn't know how much time had passed, so he had to leave now.

He then started stretching his body to get a feel for his new strength. He clenched his fist and punched the air a few times as he adjusted with his Agility and Strength.

After some time, Vale felt confident that he had returned to "normal", so he activated his Shadow Gate Spell.

***

In the midst of Vale's mysterious disappearance, Maya found herself contemplating the possibility of taking his place in the Tower Ascension competition.

With each passing day that Vale remained absent, the weight of responsibility began to settle on Maya's shoulders. If he didn't reappear soon, she would have to step up and face the challenges of the tower that she was not prepared for.

In her room, Maya stood before a mirror, her reflection mirroring the turmoil within her.

"Vale, where are you?" she murmured, her voice laced with concern.

She was trying to prepare herself mentally and physically, but it was difficult. Though she possessed confidence in her own strength, she recognized the immense difficulty of the Tower Ascension. Many seasoned sixth and seventh-year students had struggled to surpass the fifth floor, casting a shadow of doubt over Maya's own chances of success.

Just as Maya was deep in thought, Philip knocked on her door and informed her about the urgent summons for a meeting involving all participants of the Tower Ascension.

As she opened the door, she saw Philip waiting for her.

Philip noticed Maya's nervous demeanor and gently inquired.

"Are you okay? You seem quite tense." Philip asked in concern.

"I'm fine…" She replied, attempting to mask her apprehension.

Philip helplessly smiled as he could tell what was going on. However, he couldn't do anything about it, so he simply escorted Maya to the meeting room after offering a few encouraging words...

However, before they could leave the building they were staying at, a sudden commotion filled the place. The murmurs of excitement and surprise reverberated through the air.
