Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

"…"

Kyle was speechless at that reply from Mr. Heinz. He had prepared his explanation and carefully chose the words he wanted to say. However, all of that was wasted as Mr. Heinz was actually tolerating his action!

He seemed to be encouraging his method of dealing with the rude students!

After a moment of hesitation, Kyle replied.

"I will try my best next time…"

He can only respond like this as he saw Mr. Heinz raise his hand. This gesture seemed unembellished but he felt that something is about to happen with such a simple action.

As expected, Heinz had ruthlessly attacked Lear and Bassette!

In front of an expert, the two third-year students were unable to react as their eyes suddenly turned black as they fall to the ground, lifeless.

At this time, Heinz finally spoke Kyle even feels like he was being lectured.

"That's the advanced realm of Dusk Imprisonment. It doesn't just restrict someone's movement or put them asleep. The spell eats away their target's life force. Of course, those who die in this Dark Spell are weaklings like those two. If you're the one who received it, you probably won't die easily since you have a special physique like me…"

'No, Master Heinz. I don't have that physique…' Kyle wanted to reply but he only helplessly smiled in the end.

Luckily, Kyle knows that his master doesn't have plans of testing his physique like that since Heinz should know that even if he could survive, it will cause irreversible damage to his life force.

"Bring them all back… They'll be used as fuel." Heinz finally said as he turned his back to return to the factory.

"M-master Heinz, Denise is still alive…" Kyle replied intuitively.

"Of course, I know. I'm referring to the four…"

"Right! Thank you for your help, Master!"

"Tsk… Bring them back fast if you don't want to get caught by other students."

As Heinz said this, he finally disappeared from Kyle's sight.

The latter can only work faster as he ran toward the group. Thankfully, he had grown stronger so he should be able to carry two bodies at the same time.

He first checked Denise's condition and confirmed that aside from her swollen cheek and bruises, she seem to be fine… Being dragged by her hair was probably painful as well since patches of her hair can be seen around.

She might've fainted because of her boundless indignation about her fate… Kyle sighed after seeing the skinny girl suffer such horrible treatment.

"Urghh…"

As Kyle was trying to get Denise to lean on the tree, the latter started waking up as her eyelids twitched.

"You're safe now… Those four guys are already dead." Kyle whispered as he stood up.

He wasn't sure how Denise would react once she was fully awake so he decided to extract the corpses first.

[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

"Yes…"

[ Extraction successful. Energy +12 Intelligence +0.15 ]

"Oh… 0.15 points? That's quite good." Kyle muttered after seeing the result of the extraction.

'Gower's corpse was actually equal to 15 corpses?' He mused.

He then continued extracting the other three.

[ Extraction successful. Energy +8 Agility +0.11 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +8 Intelligence +0.11 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +8 Strength +0.12 ]

Kyle felt satisfied with the harvest but he still can't help but sigh after realizing that no Vitality points were found once again.

'Is it really unextractable? Can I only increase my vitality through normal means?' Kyle mused but he immediately shook his head.

'No, I still lack enough samples. I need to expand the variety of corpses I'm extracting… Right, all the corpses I extract had consumed the Darkness Possession. Even that woman from before must be from the Darkness Path…' Kyle's thoughts raced as he reached an idea.

'Perhaps I should try extracting the corpses from other Arcane Paths? Hmm… I can also try extracting from animals… if possible.'

He may not be able to do that right now so he can only keep this in his mind.

Anyway, he decided to check his character panel to admire the improvement he made. He still wasn't sure about the value of his attributes in the real world since he doesn't have anyone to compare with.

He can't see the attributes of other people so he can't tell whether these values are acceptable at his age or perhaps a bit low.

[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]

[ Attributes: Strength 2.34, Agility 3.18, Intelligence 7.31, Vitality 0.50 ]

[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv2, Ghost Hand Lv5 ]

[ Available Energy: 73 ]

"T-thank you for saving me." Denise weakly said as she saw Kyle staring at the corpses.

She thought that he was regretting his action of killing the students so she wanted to remind him that he had saved her in exchange for their life and that he shouldn't blame himself for it.

"It's good as long as you're fine… I'll be bringing these corpses to the laboratory now…" Kyle replied as he carried two at a time.

Of course, before he entered the laboratory, he took the money from these people since it would be such a waste if they were just burned.

When Kyle returned to the same spot, Denise has already left. She had probably returned home as well…

After Kyle cleaned the whole place to leave no evidence behind, he felt finally relieved as he returned to the laboratory…

This time, Mr. Heinz had truly scolded him about this matter and was told to practice his control!

He will have to train inside the Animus Haven Hall until he had a perfect grasp of his Dark Spell!
