Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

Chapter 350  New Rewards

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +4 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Memory Fragment. ]

Vale looked at the result of his Extraction with curiosity. The four Energy Points didn't surprise him as it was quite acceptable. However, he was curious about the Memory Fragment.

It was the first time he had seen this. He accepted the Memory Fragment and he waited for something to happen.

At that moment, a flood of memories surged into Vale's consciousness. Scenes from the zombie's past flashed before his eyes, fragmented and distorted. He caught glimpses of a life once lived, a family left behind, and the tragic circumstances that led to his transformation into an undead abomination.

Vale was captivated by the intensity of emotions emanating from the extracted memory fragments. He witnessed the zombie's struggle against its own insatiable hunger, the maddening thirst for human flesh that consumed its every thought. He felt the sorrow and remorse buried deep within, remnants of the humanity that had been lost.

'Shit… That was dangerous!' Vale opened his eyes as he got himself entangled with a zombie. Luckily, his Arcane Armor was still active.

He was merely surprised. He then ignored the zombies clutching on him as he controlled his Ghost Hands to crush the zombies in the surroundings.

The memory that flashed through his eyes felt like a revelation to Vale. The Extraction of memory fragments was not just a mere ability; it was a profound connection to the essence of these creatures, a glimpse into their forgotten lives.

The weight of this realization settled upon him, leaving him awestruck by the significance of what he had discovered.

'Memory Fragments… Very interesting. Let's try some more.' Vale thought as he looked at the horde of Unclean Zombies and Infested Zombies around him.

With renewed focus, Vale continued to engage in combat, his Ghost Hands moving with precision and speed. One by one, he extracted fragments from the remaining undead creatures, each memory revealing a unique story of tragedy, loss, and the relentless hunger that consumed them.

'Quite useless memories… They're all about their daily lives…' Vale thought to himself. Nevertheless, he wasn't too disappointed since these Zombies were quite normal in terms of their ranks. Perhaps he could get something better if he tried it on higher-level Zombies or Undead.

As the number of zombies dwindled to half, Vale's anticipation grew. He could sense that something significant awaited him at the heart of the hidden chamber.

He wasn't sure what it was, but he felt a strong and cool energy somewhere in the chamber.

Suddenly, he saw a radiant blue crystal pulsating with otherworldly energy at the far corner of the hidden chamber.

"I knew it…"

It cast a gentle glow that illuminated the surrounding area, dispelling the darkness that had shrouded the chamber. The Zombies were previously blocking it, so he didn't notice them.

He then used one of his Ghost Hands to lift the crystal carefully.

To his surprise, the onslaught of zombies ceased the moment this happened. The remaining Zombies crumbled into dust, never spawning again.

The chamber fell silent, the oppressive atmosphere dissolving into a calm stillness. It was as if the crystal's presence had severed the connection between the undead beings and their relentless pursuit of flesh.

'So this is how you clear the chamber? Focus on the objective and ignore the horde of Zombies?' Vale silently thought. It was quite a pity that he didn't get to extract the remaining Zombies.

He tried returning the blue crystal, but even after doing this, the Zombies didn't appear. This confirmed his guess.

Vale sighed at this as he controlled his Ghost Hands to hand over the blue crystal.

As soon as he got it, a trace of information was injected into his mind.

Incomplete Planar Spell Model: Aurora's Embrace. ( First Part )

"This…" Vale was shocked as he didn't expect such a reward…

However, he immediately calmed down after recalling the problems with the Planar Spells or Celestial Arts.

'They're not spells that just any Arcanists can learn… In the end, this is quite useful for me but not for the others. This is probably just one of those Forbidden or Useless Knowledge they reminded me…' Vale thought as he tried checking the information he got.

Once he got the complete Spell Model and recorded it successfully, it was actually quite a powerful Spell!

This spell would allow him to manipulate and channel celestial energies, creating dazzling displays of light, harnessing the power of the stars, and bringing forth the essence of the cosmos.

Well, the description he got might be exaggerating it a bit, but it was probably something similar to Solar Energy or Solar Power that he knew.

Vale then started to imagine what he could do with this Aurora's Embrace if he ever recorded it in his Spell Light. He could probably use it to create shields to protect himself or his surroundings or unleash a solar beam that bursts his target with blinding light…

Vale couldn't help but chuckle after reaching this thought.

'I don't even have any Golden Spell Light anymore… I can't record it for now. I wonder how I can get one again…' Vale thought to himself as he kept the crystal in his pocket and picked up his torch that was thrown to the ground a while ago.

Vale continued on his way and on his second hidden chamber… He extracted a dozen of Plump Zombies and received their 4 Energy Points and useless Memory Fragments. It was their same daily lives or memories that made them feel happy as a human.

Anyway, he had been careful not to destroy them with his Ghost Hands as he still needed their Energy Points.

As for the reward within this chamber, he actually got a scroll containing a Forbidden Dark Spell! Unfortunately, a huge part of the Spell Model was missing.

It was called Dark Eye Sacrifice, where you'll exchange your eyes to get the vision of a Devil.

'Useless…' Vale muttered as he already saw the complete Spell Model in his Forbidden Practice of the Unlighted book.

He was also tempted to learn this before, but the fact that his eyes would turn completely red made him reject this idea. He didn't like a Spell or technique that would change his appearance unless it was temporary.
