"Ahhh…" Vale's eyes widened as he felt something ominous after extracting the previous Headmaster of the Academy.

He wanted to take the old man's belongings and even explore the castle for a bit, but his Extrasensory Perception told him to run away quickly. He could only grab the cane that was on the ground before he decided to move.

He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew he had to follow his instincts since this Spell wasn't just for show.

He controlled the Shadow Soldier to bring Philip and ordered Yvaine to protect the two;

As for him, he also dashed out of the dungeon to take cover.

The moment he did this, a massive Formation Circle covering the whole castle appeared. The ground and the surroundings glowed brightly!

He could feel that a vast amount of energy was gathering at the center of the castle. He wasn't sure what kind of Formation Circle he was dealing with, so there was no way he would stay in the castle for long. 

"Stop!"

"You thieves! Come back here!"

"The Viscount's guards are already surrounding the castle. You have nowhere else to go!"

"Surrender now or prepare to die!"

The remaining guards, who weren't Arcane Arts Practitioners, tried stopping them from leaving the castle. Unfortunately, they were too weak to hold them back.

With the Shadow Soldier's Speed and Yvaine's Deathly Gaze, they could only watch their backs as they disappeared from their sight.

Vale also had no issues fleeing the place with his current speed.

As soon as they got out of the castle, the pillars, walls, ceilings, and statues inside the castle started crumbling.

The castle collapsed in a matter of seconds, burying even the remaining guards inside!

Boom! Boom…

'This… How ruthless. They wanted to erase any form of evidence to the point of sacrificing their own people.' Vale couldn't help but sigh as he felt that this was simply too much. He couldn't imagine doing the same thing if he ever had people working under him.

"You still managed to escape?" A high-pitched female voice interrupted Vale's thoughts as he looked ahead of him.I think you should take a look at

About 30 meters away from him, a group of people started to surround him and Philip… At this time, he already ordered Yvaine to enter his Shadow and for his Shadow Soldier to disappear.

'So they're the real enemies?' Vale thought as he scanned the group of people.

There were over 50 of them, and they were all Arcane Arts Practitioners.

According to his Divine Sense, most of them are Combat Arts Practitioners. There were only 4 Holy Arts Practitioners and 5 Mystic Arts Practitioners.

The one person that alarmed him was the girl who had spoken just now. She was a Psychic Arts Practitioner with 9 Spell Lights!

She seemed like a fragile and chaste noble lady on the outside, but she was definitely rotten on the inside. Vale could feel something off on her.

Vale then fixed the mask on his face as he held Philip tightly. The previous Headmaster seemed to have used a restraining spell on Philip, so he was still listless. He seemed to be partially awake and not completely unconscious.

"Who are you?" Vale asked the noble lady.

"Oh… Right. I'm Tracie Coulston. I'm the owner of that castle you destroyed with your Dark Arts." Tracie replied.

She didn't even mind introducing her real identity, so Vale was a bit alarmed.

"I destroyed the castle?" He asked.

"Yes, you are a criminal who rescued a prisoner that our family caught. You even used explosives to destroy our castle. How cruel… As expected of the Dark Arts Faction, you even killed the innocent guards and servants in the castle."

"Ha! So you wanted to put all the blame on me? You don't even know my identity. Good luck with that."

"We don't know yet. However, it's not like you'll be able to escape from here." Tracie said with a playful smile on her face.

It appears that while Vale was infiltrating the castle, she already made up a plan to ensure that he won't be able to escape and that they could blame the Dark Arts Faction no matter what.

"You've made a mistake…" Vale muttered as he decided to end this farce.

As he said this, Tracie's False Priests finished their ritual and cast their Spells.

"Holy Chains! Bind the blasphemer!"

Vale squinted his eyes as he used his Spell Dispersion to destroy the chains.

Crash… Crash… Crash.

The chains started disintegrating as they neared him. However, there were dozens of them, and even after destroying ten snake-like silver chains, they just kept coming back!

Seeing that the chains would keep coming unless he stopped the priests, Vale changed his tactics.

He held Philip tightly with his right hand while holding the cane in his left hand. Then, he used his Lightspeed to evade the Holy Chains from wrapping him.

With his Agility and Lightspeed, the chains looked very slow in front of him.

During this time, he was also using his Spirit Vision to locate the Trap Formations they placed around the castle.

After finding an escape route, Vale left them a gift. He didn't want to stay here for long since his Dark Energy and Life Energy weren't infinite.

Anyway, the gift he left them was another Divine Lightning aiming to kill the young noble lady.

After all, there was no point using any Dark Arts in front of those False Priests. They could just use a strong Holy Aura, and his Ghost Hands, Moonlight Curse, or other Dark Spells would disappear in seconds.

However, something unexpected happened. It seemed they were waiting for the Divine Lightning all along!

"Haha! Come at me!" Tracie laughed as she noticed the changes in the sky. She doesn't seem afraid of the lightning strike! She even looked above with great expectations.
