Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Vale looked at the Demon Saint who had greeted him.

The Demon Saint was a tall and muscular man with dark skin and red eyes. He had a single horn on his forehead that curved slightly backwards.

His appearance was completely different from the previous Demon Saint who had visited him when he confiscated the cursed items they were spreading to the small villages and towns.

This Demon Saint also wore a black robe that covered most of his body, except for his arms and legs. He had several tattoos and scars on his skin, as well as some jewelry and accessories that he believed were Magic Artifacts...

This creature from another realm looked fierce and menacing, completely in contrast to how polite he was when speaking.

"Are you here to fight against us? Even if you're an Immortal, you can still be corrupted. How about we--"

"Cut the crap. I know why you're here. You want to obtain Divinity. You want an Immortal's power… But you won't get it. You'll only get death…" Vale said as he scanned the surroundings to find the other Demon Saints.

However, aside from a few Arcanists who seemed to be doing some ritual, he couldn't find any other Demon Saints.

Well, although he had become Immortal, the range of his Zone was only more than a kilometer. It wouldn't be surprising that the other Demon Saints were actually spreading the cursed artifacts they'd made.

'I guess this is also a good thing for me.' Vale thought, as he also knew that fighting against a dozen Demon Saints would be difficult.

"Don't be so rude. I'm just curious about you. You're an Immortal living in the Human Realm. You should be thinking of Ascending now instead of finding trouble with the Demon Saints. I am curious what you're thinking…" The Demon Saint, who called himself Galan, spoke in a sincere voice.

However, Vale didn't buy this and replied with a mocking tone.

"Don't play dumb. I know what you're after. I'm not sure how you got summoned here with your brothers but I'll make sure that you won't be returning to your realm." Vale said as he finished investigating the area.

He guessed that the people who were doing some rituals were actually the members of the Order of Fatality. He also found many hidden buildings underground and various treasures that seemed to be important for the Demon Saints.

'Is it the manufacturing site of the Cursed Items?' Vale mused.

The Demon Saint, on the other hand, continued on his job of delaying the battle.

"Don't be so arrogant. I know what you're capable of. You have a meager amount of Divinity, so you weren't that strong to begin with… Even if you have Divinity, if you only use it to empower your Arcane Spells, and not use the Spells meant for Immortals, then you will not have a chance to win against us.

Vale chuckled after hearing this.

"I know you're just delaying the time, but I will still answer you. Don't be so confident... I'm also waiting for your brothers and I'm also aware you're a Demon Saint who is still weak after entering this realm…"

The Demon Saint narrowed his eyes as he released his Corrupted Divinity.

"Enough! I'm tired of talking. Let's fight. Let's see who is stronger..." As Galan said that, he attacked Vale with his Corrupted Divinity.

Against True Immortals, using Spells would rarely affect them unless they were incredibly powerful or had reached the Perfect Realm.

Because of that, the Demon Saints would only use their Corrupted Divinity to fight against them. Well, it would be different if they were indeed weakened and couldn't fully use their Corrupted Divinity, just like the first Demon Saint that Vale encountered.

Galan then tried to suppress Vale with his dark and twisted Divinity.

He unleashed what seemed like hands made of darkness that were corrupted and destructive.

This attack may trouble some Immortals as the Demon Saints directly attack the Divinity inside their bodies.

However, Vale was not an ordinary Immortal. He was a Shadow Celestial!

He had a power that was different from the others!

Vale resisted the Demon Saint's attack with his Divinity, or what he would like to call Shadow Divinity. He countered the Demon Saint's power with his own Divinity!

"Hahaha! I knew it! You don't know a single Immortal Spell!" Galan laughed as soon as he noticed that his opponent tried to clash his Corrupted Divinity with his own Divinity!

It was as if Vale was telling him to convert it to a Corrupted one! He certainly wouldn't pass this up!

However, as the two of their powers clashed in an intense battle, Galan realized that he wasn't getting any advantage!

He was failing to convert Vale's Divinity into a Corrupted one!

They were feared by the Immortals because of that ability! However, it wasn't working at all against a new Immortal!

This realization scared him a lot!

However, his eyes lit up after realizing something! He immediately poured all of his power to attack Vale!

Just then, one of his brothers arrived at the scene!

It was secretive, and Galan knew that the Immortal hadn't noticed him yet…

This newly arrived Demon Saint had sensed the commotion and came to check it out. He thought that the Cultists had already succeeded in their ritual.

However, he was shocked to see that Galan was engaged in a fierce battle with an Immortal!

'He dared to come alone?! We must be the ones hunting your race!'

He knew that Galan was in danger and needed his help.

He wasted no time and dashed to his side to join the fight against the Immortal!

But before he could get close to the intruder, two lightning bolts descended from the sky and hit him!

It wasVale's Divine Lightning!

'An Immortal Spell?!'

"Aahh!"

The brother screamed and fell to the ground, charred and smoking. He was still alive, but he was paralyzed and in pain!
