Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Vale felt that he lost some points from the Fairy after learning about the Dark Spirit in his shadow.

Nevertheless, he didn't immediately give up and asked the Fairy to join him.

The Fairy didn't immediately answer and tilted her head, studying Vale intently. He felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by the little being, but he remained calm and waited for the Fairy to speak.

After a moment, she finally smiled and nodded. "Your heart is pure, and your intentions genuine. I shall lend you my aid, mortal. But remember, our pact is built on respect and harmony… Make sure to protect the Grimoire and feed it with otherworldly essence so I can also get stronger…"

Vale's heart swelled with joy as he heard the Fairy's response.

"Of course! I will protect the Grimoire, but what about the otherworldly essence?" Vale asked.

The Fairy didn't seem to expect Vale's question. "Mhmm? They're essence from the otherworldly presence… Just check your Grimoire."

As she said this, the Fairy's body dissipated and turned into many specks of light before rushing to the black Grimoire that Vale was holding.

Vale watched as the Fairy dissipated and saw that a page in the Grimoire had the faint figure of the Fairy just now.

He could finally call himself a Summoner! With his Human Shapeshift Spell, he could undoubtedly create another identity as a Summoner.

As he inspected the content of the page, he finally realized what the Fairy meant.

Within the pages of the Grimoire, Vale discovered a detailed description of the Fairy, accompanied by intricate illustrations that brought her ethereal beauty to life.

Below the illustration, Vale could see the long description of the Fairy.

Description: The Moonlight Fairy was a vision of enchantment, radiating an aura of grace and ethereal charm. Standing at a mere six inches tall, she possessed delicate features that mirrored the delicate intricacy of her wings. Her skin was luminescent, reflecting a soft glow reminiscent of moonlight…

…her wings, fragile yet resilient, were adorned with iridescent patterns that radiated the power of the moonlight. It allowed her to move swiftly and silently through the air. Clad in a gown woven from the finest silk spun by moonlight spiders, she exuded an aura of elegance that captivated all who beheld her.

Abilities:

Nature Manipulation Lv1: The Fairy had the ability to command and manipulate the forces of nature. She could summon gentle breezes, command the growth of plants, and communicate with woodland creatures.

Essence Absorption Lv1: As a unique requirement for her sustenance and growth, the Fairy relied on consuming the essence of mystical beings. By absorbing the essence, she could enhance her magical abilities, strengthen her connection to nature, and further unlock her hidden potential.

Healing and Restoration Lv3 ( Inactive ): Through her connection to the life force of nature, the Moonlight Fairy possessed the gift of healing. She could mend wounds, cure ailments, and restore vitality to those in need.

Illusionary Magic Lv3 ( Inactive ): With a wave of her delicate hand, the Fairy could weave illusions, creating fantastical visions that could deceive the senses and even create imaginary adversaries.

"Four Spells, but two of them are Inactive…" Vale muttered as he realized that the Fairy was perhaps weakened after being bound to him. It appears that he had to give her the essence she needed so she could get back to her previous state.

As he thought of using the Malevolence Essence and the Fiend Essence for that, he suddenly felt the floor shaking.

It seemed that he already reached the limit of his stay here.

He quickly closed the Grimoire and went to the Bronze Treasure Chest.

As soon as he opened it up, he saw three items.

They were all Spirit Pearls!

Based on their size and the energy contained inside, Vale suspected that they were all high-grade Spirit Pearls.

'Three items once again. I think I'm doing really well…' Vale smiled as he kept the items before rushing to the stairs.

He recalled how Anderson and the others informed him that the rewards they'd get should only be a single item on each floor, and the Tower would rarely give two items at the same time.

Obviously, Vale was consistently getting more than that. So, he already knew that he was completing a certain requirement that allowed him to get more rewards.

Outside the Ascension Tower.

Princess Ceres stood at the observation area and was now seated near Odessa.

It wasn't because she wanted to garner more attention, but it was an order to ensure her safety due to the incident several days ago. As a member of the royalty, her treatment was certainly different from the others.

Anyway, her eyes fixed on the lights that adorned the first floor as soon as Vale entered.

As she continued watching for a while, the lights began to shift, moving upwards to the second floor, then the third, and eventually reaching the seventh floor.

At this time, it wasn't only her who felt surprised but also many Professors and students who had previously attended the Twelve Academies Competition.

After all, the Dark Arts Academy didn't have a good result for so long.

Ceres was confused and she couldn't help but share her bewilderment with Odessa, the Royal Mage, who stood beside her.

"Lady Odessa… What's going on? Does the Dark Arts Faction possess similar Mystical Items that can summon Guardian Knights?"

Odessa's gaze remained on the Tower, and smiled at her question.

"Indeed, Princess. It seems that Vale has prepared quite a lot. Or perhaps the Academy spent a lot of money on this. However, if that's not the case, then it means that his talent is really great. If he gets to reach the eighth floor, even if he doesn't clear it, then his talent surpasses anything I had imagined. It's better to take him to our side."

Princess Ceres, aware of Odessa's fondness for all types of talent and her inclination to bring them to her Mage Tower, couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.
