Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Shops and stores crumbled as the mysterious creature and the Vale's Ghost Hands tried to overpower each other.

The surrounding structures crumbled to rubble as the area transformed into a chaotic battlefield.

'Ahh… This is not good… However, where are the other Arcanists? Can't they see that a student is being harassed here? Why is no one helping?' Vale couldn't help but complain as he glanced at the location of the other Arcanists who were just watching.

By using his Divine Sense, he could easily sense the Arcanists that were within his 30-meter radius.

With just a simple and quick scan of his surroundings, Vale immediately found eight Arcanists! They seemed to be watching in awe, or perhaps they were waiting for something to happen. Nevertheless, they certainly don't have any plans to interfere with the battle.

Perhaps, they heard how the creature called for his name, so they decided to stay out of it.

Vale also observed Clare and the others inside his Magic Zone and confirmed that they weren't making their moves.

'Whatever… I'll deal with this alone.' Vale silently thought as he looked for a place where he could bring the creature to interrogate.

The people on the streets and the other owners of the shops didn't deserve to suffer. Some of them were already injured, and the damage in the surroundings was just getting bigger.

"I'll torture you!" The mysterious humanoid creature spoke once again as Vale controlled his Ghost Hands to continue suppressing it.

However, it proved to be difficult since the creature had a high affinity to the Darkness Attribute.

It continued to struggle and even shattered one of the three Ghost Hands!

It actually bit one of the Ghost Hands and sucked it until it was gone!

"You can do that?" Vale was surprised. He didn't expect such a method to exist. Nevertheless, Vale didn't stop using his Ghost Hands.

Using his Spirit Vision, he realized that the being was already full from eating one of his Ghost Hands. The only problem was that it seemed to be using the power of his Ghost Hand to amplify its strength!

"What a glutton…" Vale muttered as he realized that it only took a few seconds to digest the Ghost Hand it had eaten.

Seeing that it was about to eat another Ghost Hand, Vale controlled it to shrink and used the two Ghost Hands with extreme precision to turn the creature into a punching bag.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the battle intensified, the people unfortunate enough to be caught in the crossfire scattered in fear, seeking shelter from the chaos unleashed by Vale and his formidable boxing Ghost Hands. The streets became a scene of mayhem, with debris flying through the air and bystanders scrambling to safety.

"Ahhh…"

Vale felt bad about the destruction happening on the streets.

As he looked around, he soon found a plaza with a huge pile of wood gathered at the center.

It seems that there will be a huge bonfire later this night. However, Vale had to use the plaza for now.

Whoosh~

With a wave of his hand, he used his remaining two Ghost Hands to drag the creature away from the busy streets.

Boom!

The mysterious humanoid creature was thrown into the pile. However, Vale realized that it was slowly getting stronger and stronger. Just now, Vale tried to use his Darkness Manipulation to cut away its power to wield the Dark Energy. He was hoping that with the Darkness Manipulation, the creature would weaken.

However, Vale failed to take control of the Darkness around his enemy!

His Darkness Manipulation Spell was already Level 7 or at the early stage of the Advanced Realm! Vale couldn't help but be surprised.

'Interesting… Is this creature a spawn of Darkness?' Vale thought to himself as he considered leveling up the Spell.

However, he immediately stopped as he recalled that leveling up Spells above the Advanced Realm would strain his body since he would do it through a cheat system and not through hard work.

Instead, he decided to get an aid with his Mystical Item. As he thought of pulling up one of his Summoning Scrolls to test the creature, he heard it speak once again.

"Give me your body!" The creature growled as he shattered the wood pile scattered around him.

"You want to possess me? Dream on!" Vale found this exchange quite laughable as he suspected that this creature could feel his Incorruptible Body. After all, that was quite an alluring physique. It would explain why the creature wanted to possess him.

With a firm decision, Vale activated the three scrolls he had been carrying.

He poured his energy into them, unleashing a surge of power that left him astonished. The scrolls absorbed a significant portion of his energy, leaving him with less than half of his original reserves.

"Whoa~" Vale exclaimed. He didn't expect such a huge amount of energy to be needed for those scrolls.

"Just for three summons, my energy was left with less than half of my original energy. These scrolls really pack a punch…"

Despite the energy depletion, a smile crept across Vale's face as he watched the ground where the scrolls had landed. In a flurry of dark magic, three imposing figures emerged from the depths below. The ground cracked and split open, revealing three Skeleton Knights mounted on horseback.

The skeletal warriors exuded an aura of menace, their eye sockets glowing with red flames that danced with an eerie intensity.

They were armed with swords and shields, ready to engage in battle at Vale's command. The sight of these fearsome creatures sent shivers down the spines of onlookers, but to Vale, their presence was exhilarating.
