Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Sun Sorcerer Hogan then raised his staff, and pointed it at the group of Elementalists.

He chanted a word in Oardic, and a beam of light shot out from his staff, hitting the six Elementalists.

"Aahh!"

"Why are you doing this?!"

"Sir Hogan?! This isn't what we---"

They screamed, as they felt their bodies burning.

It didn't take that long before they turned into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

This stunned Vale and the others who were watching everything unfold.

'What a waste. You should've let me extract them instead of killing them just like that…' Vale sighed at this thought.

The Sun Sorcerer Hogan then turned his attention to Vale and his group.

He smiled, and said in a mocking tone.

"And you... You are part of the rebels who dare to claim to have the power to break the capital's Barrier, and overthrow the tyrant king? You are the ones who seek to change the kingdom and bring a new era?"

Vale felt annoyed at his words and was already thinking of attacking him.

"Yes… You will see the Barrier's destruction tomorrow if you are there." Vale replied.

"I will be leading the Elite Sorcerers of the Church to deal with the Druids of the Royal Family. However, we may not even have the chance if you fail to break it. You can't underestimate that Barrier. It was not a simple Formation Art that relied on Magic Circles and expensive objects." Sun Sorcerer replied as he still felt unconvinced.

Their Church will risk everything tomorrow, and nothing could go wrong. They would rather delay the final war than fail at their mission.

If their Church gathered enough believers in the next year or two, they use the Divine Sorcerer's Descent to destroy that Barrier for sure!

"Do you want to test me one last time?" Vale asked.

"Yes! Come at me..." Sun Sorcerer Hogan said.

Vale narrowed his eyes after hearing these words.

"I want you to unleash your strongest Spell on me... If you can't even shatter my Sixteen Light Wave Barrier Spell, then you have no hope of breaking the capital's Barrier. If you fail, tell the Marquis that you're incompetent. Tell him to postpone the war instead." Sun Sorcerer Hogan said.

Even though he knew that Marquis Morgan was listening, he still chose to use Vale as the messenger.

"That's intriguing. What would happen if you die?" Vale asked as he stepped forward.

"Hmph! I have an Artifact that will whisk me away to safety if I'm about to die. You don't need to concern yourself with me. If you're confident enough to break the capital's barrier... Show me what you've got!" Sun Sorcerer Hogan said as he began his chant to create the Sixteen Light Wave Barrier.

Soon, several layers of light wave barrier formed that dazzled everyone watching. It looked like a mini sun was forming around him!

On the other hand, Vale was a bit uncertain about what Spell he would use to destroy this barrier.

Of course, he intended to transform into a dragon to destroy the capital's barrier. But with his limited Dragon Essence, he couldn't afford to waste it right now.

He then scanned his current spells to see what Spell would be the most effective...

"Hmmm..."

After some deliberation, Vale decided to use various spells.

First, he used his Dragon's True Sight to see the flaw of the barrier. As he used this Spell, his eyes suddenly changed to that of a dragon...

It didn't take long before he understood how the Sixteen Light Wave Barrier worked.

It was a spherical barrier that shielded the caster even from Spells coming from the ground.

The weakness was essentially the amount of energy that the Sun Sorcerer could supply to the barrier.

There was no specific element that could easily destroy it. Whether it was Dark Energy, Elemental Energy, or Aura, it made no difference.

With this in mind, Vale decided to use his Celestial Art, the Call of the Divine Lightning!

"I will summon a lightning, Sorcerer… Don't die!"

Vale said as he raised his hand and pointed it at the sky.

He even imbued about 10 Divinity Points to empower his Celestial Art! He also didn't wait for the Sorcerer's reply as thunderous sound echoed in the air.

He summoned the Divine Lightning, a spell that could harness the power of the heavens!

Boom!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, aiming at the Sun Sorcerer Hogan. It was a dazzling and terrifying sight, as if the wrath of the gods was unleashed. It looked like a giant spear, ready to pierce through the barrier.

'This lightning… I knew it, he's the Masked Devil Incarnate!' The Sun Sorcerer, including Denise and the others immediately had the same thought!

There was no more hiding!

As the Sun Sorcerer Hogan saw the attack, he smirked with confidence.

At the point of impact, eight out of sixteen layers of barriers were immediately destroyed!

"Is that all you have? A mere lightning bolt? Do you think that can break my Sixteen Light Wave Barrier? You are too naive, young man! You have no idea what my barrier can do!"

He raised his staff, and the layers of barriers started recovering! It became 9 layers… 10 layers… and the 11th one was already forming rapidly!

Vale was certainly impressed by that defense, but he realized from that attack that this barrier was most likely made by an Arcana!

It was not a Spell that the man created!

Nevertheless, Vale didn't complain as he continued…

A couple of Divine Lightning descended at once!

Boom! Boom!

The shockwave spread and the dust rose.

The sound was deafening, and the light was blinding. At the same time, the ground shook, and the air was filled with the remnant of lightning energy.

However, Vale remained standing on his spot, looking at the dust-filled area where the Sun Sorcerer had previously stood.

Without waiting for the settling dust to reveal it's the Sorcerer's condition, Vale spoke with a chilling calmness.

"Rest well, Sorcerer. Tomorrow, we will be marching towards the capital."

With these words, Vale turned away, retracing his steps towards the castle.
