Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel



After three hours of extraction, Vale finally cleared up all the crates in the warehouse. The place was now filled with white powder as the crystals turned like that in every extraction he made.

It was tiring…

He was only finished after seven hours of extraction. He barely had any breaks, but luckily, the basement was a bit cold and kind of refreshing. He only had to touch the crystal, and the system will do the rest.

Nevertheless, the extraction was still more than 22,000!

It was a good thing that the system didn't feel tired or overheat after so many extractions.

"Whew… That's so incredible. Although they're a one-time-use item, they still gave me many Divinity Points. I wonder where they came from…" Vale muttered as he lay on the floor, feeling a bit exhausted.

He felt quite sleepy, but he still has to move.

In any case, he opened his attribute panel to check his Divinity Points.

[ Available Divinity: 3,144.80 ]

Hu~

Vale let out a breath of satisfaction after seeing the massive increase in his Divinity Points.

From 2.78 points to 3,144.80 points in just a single day! He had never imagined that his plan to save his friend would give him so many benefits.

'I need to know where they get all of these… They must be using them for some kind of ritual, crafting, or even as a power source in their Formation Circle.' Vale mused as he started imagining the purpose of those crystals or Immortal Shards.

He wasn't in a hurry to upgrade his Celestial Arts as he shifted his attention to Yvaine, who was still guarding the door.

At this time, Yvaine had already killed two intruders. They were companions of the Mystic Arts Practitioners since they are also wearing the Left-Hand Glove with the emblem of the Goat's Head.

The third or the last person who intruded wasn't killed but was captured by Yvaine.

It was a perfect chance for him to ask questions.

"Yvaine… Can that person still speak?" Vale asked the Dark Spirit, who seemed bored already after waiting for him for several hours.

"Yes."

"Thank you… You can go back and rest now." Vale said as he allowed the Dark Spirit to enter his shadow and rest.

Then, Vale summoned his Ghost Hands to wake the person.

According to his Divine Sense, this person is a Combat Arts Practitioner.

Furthermore, he actually has a pistol hidden on his waist. He may not be in a uniform, but this person might be a police officer.

With that in mind, he reused his Shapeshift Spell to transform. It's a bit inconvenient since he can only dual-cast for now. It means that while on his Shapeshift Spell, he can only rely on his Ghost Hands and passive abilities. If he tried using other spells, the Shapeshift Spell would be canceled in a matter of seconds.

"Wake up…" Vale spoke with his deliberate low voice while using his Ghost Hands to nudge the unconscious man.

With three Ghost Hands waking him up, the man soon opened his eyes as he instinctively tried holding his pistol.

However, he was stopped by one of the Ghost Hands.I think you should take a look at

"Don't bother." Vale said as he had the other Ghost Hand take the pistol from him.

"Y-you! Who are you?! Do you think you'll survive after messing with us?!" The man said with a hint of shock after looking around. He realized that the enemy had entirely overtaken this hideout!

"I don't even know the name of your organization. Tell me about it so I can be careful…" Vale said as he approached the man.

"Y-you don't know us, but you still dared to attack us?!"

"Hey, you don't have to raise your voice. No one would hear you even if you tried screaming here." Vale calmly replied as he controlled his Ghost Hands to grab the head of the man.

"You have so many questions… Tell me about the crates that were stored here. Where did you get them?"

"Ha! It would be best if you leave now, or else you'll die a gruesome death. Our commander will be here at any moment, and you'll regret messing with us." The man said as he tried to scare off Vale.

However, it wasn't effective against him.

Vale even smiled at him as he pulled out his Demonic Dagger.

He may not possess any Psychic Art to make him speak, but this mysterious dagger that could burn anyone it wounded was an excellent item to force out a confession.

It didn't take that long before Vale managed to get information from the man.

First of all, he learned that they were members of the Blueglades Mercenaries hired by a butler from Wild Willow Mansion in the southern part of the city.

None of them knows for sure about the real identity of their employer, but it could be one of the three sons of Baron Sinclair who owned the mansion or even all three of them. As for Baron Sinclair himself, he was supposed to be on his deathbed, so it was out of the question for them.

The crates were actually delivered from their mansion to this place to be taken later by some merchants.

Vale also learned that they had already delivered a total of 6 crates to the Merchants.

'What a pity…' Vale sighed as he felt that those crates would be wasted by them.

In any case, he didn't learn the 'normal' use of these purple rocks since these people were just hired mercenaries meant to guard the crates. They were just a bunch of rogue practitioners that could be involved in many criminal activities like human trafficking, labor exploitation, or even assassination missions.

After getting everything he needed, Vale extracted him until he died.

[ Extraction Successful. Intelligence +0.15 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Agility +0.75 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Arcane Armor Spell Model  ]

Vale nodded in satisfaction as he saw the Arcane Armor leveled up once. He then continued to extract the man's corpse, including the other two that Yvaine had previously killed.
