Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel



Vale's eyes widened as soon as he realized what had just happened.

'That was dangerous! That could've killed me!' Vale started cursing in his mind as he saw how the floor was destroyed… The lightning strike left some molten stones about 2 meters in diameter as the temperature in the room started increasing.

Then, he looked at the Dark Spellcaster who just attacked him.

"Sir Isaac?" Vale was confused they were just talking with no issues or disagreements whatsoever and he was attacked out of nowhere!

Vale might understand if he offended the man but he was sure that the didn't do anything that deserves to be struck by lightning.

Well, he called Isaac lonely in his mind but there was no way he can read his thoughts.

"Good reflexes… Do you know what the Headmaster said in exchange for allowing you to inspect my corpses?" Isaac answered with a chuckle…

Vale had goosebumps hearing him laugh as he couldn't help but recall his Master. That person is a madman that would laugh at him whenever he feels pain.

"This… He didn't mention anything to me." Vale replied in exasperation.

"Oh… He didn't mention but it doesn't mean that this is all for free." Isaac replied.

Vale was stunned as they didn't talk about payment. Vale used his favor to see the Headmaster's basement but not in this building.

He indeed makes sense but this is just too much.

"Sir Isaac, are you telling me that you'll be taking my life in exchange for the corpses I touched? Isn't that a bit too much?" Vale frowned as he already started talking to Lotus about their escape plan.

It is a good thing that they can talk with each other using the unique connection they have.

Although it will be difficult, he knows that with his Spell Dispersion and the Dark Spirit's strength, they should be able to escape this place. This is definitely the case especially if Isaac will blindly trust the Formation Circles that were installed in the building.

"Take your life? Who said I'm planning to take your life… Jean would kill me if I did that. I'm only planning to open you up for a bit. I'm curious how were you able to obtain a Nova-Class Dark Spirit… It shouldn't be possible for a first-year student like you."

"What?! I just did what the instructor said and made a ritual to call for a friendly spirit! There's nothing special on that." Vale explained as he started moving back to get more distance between them.

"A ritual to call for a friendly spirit? Pfft~" Isaac repeated as he couldn't hide his laugh…

"Then that's even more suspicious… Dark Spirits aren't friendly spirits… They're considered to be the warriors or the protectors of the Spirit World… You needed a high-level ritual in order to summon one of them and a Tier 2 Soul Contract Bestowal spell to tie them up to this world." He continued.

"Sir Isaac, I'm not aware of that… Perhaps it has something to do with Master Heinz?" Vale asked as he wanted to prolong the conversation.

At this time, he didn't stop looking for a way out… He can tell that the door of the laboratory was now blocked by a Formation Circle, or perhaps a Dark Spell that he wasn't aware of… He started getting closer to it and controlled his Spell Dispersion not to hit it so it wouldn't be too suspicious.

Once he's ready, he would surely use everything he had to run away.

"Heinz? Heinz Becker? That lunatic who wanted to create a new branch of the Dark Arts?! Hahaha… Are you telling me that he succeeded?"

Vale finally realized that this person is also a lunatic… Well, what did he expect from Dark Arts Practitioners?

There are side effects in using Mystical Items and there are also side effects in learning Arcane Arts. He wasn't sure about the other paths but for the Dark Arts Practitioners, Vale knows that the side effect of practicing this Path would affect the mind of the practitioners and they would start to disregard human life.

"Can you let me leave now, Sir Isaac? If you have further questions. I think you should just ask my Master." Vale said as he pushed the danger to Heinz.

"Indeed… He probably knows more than you." He then paused for a moment and observed Vale's body from head to toe.

"However, it doesn't mean that you aren't special… I want to know your secrets." Isaac said in such a menacing manner as Vale no longer hesitated as he turned around to flee!

Isaac laughed as he already blocked the exit a while ago…

However, before he could mock Vale for being too reckless, he realized that the Spell Formation that should paralyze him from passing through that door didn't activate!

'What? When did he compromise that?' Isaac was momentarily at a loss since he didn't expect that freshman student of the Academy is already capable of doing that.

'Was it a Mystical Item? But only a high-grade Noble Rank can do that… This is more enjoyable than I expected… No wonder Jean was asking me to test him. I thought he was simply thinking too much.'

Isaac then moved like a ghost as he followed Vale's movement.

He can tell that Vale was using two movement-type Mystical Artifacts which should consume plenty of his energy in a short amount of time.

He was desperate to escape…

"Block him!" Isaac said as he ordered the Tier 2 Variants to stop Vale from escaping…

Although he can arrive quickly beside Vale, he decided to let him show more of his skills.

Indeed, Isaac witnessed a very suspicious Advanced Realm Ghost Hands!

Not even 10th-Year students are capable of doing that!

"Incredible! I guess your parents allowed you to practice the Dark Arts when you were 5 or even younger than that." Isaac said as he saw how the Tier 2 Variants got caught off guard and were off-balanced by the Ghost Hands that were thrown at them at such a high speed.

Although the Tier 2 Variants can stop even a raging elephant, once their center of balance was compromised, they would still fall to the ground…

Vale's calculation in his movements was terrifying. He didn't even stop there, he allowed his Dark Spirit to attack the Variants ensuring that they wouldn't go up!

This time, it was Isaac who started to panic.

"Hey! Stop! They're expensive!"
