Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel



To some other viewers, it was such a traumatizing sight.

Seeing the huge and disgusting Infested Zombie swallow a girl completely wasn't a good sight… Luckily, Vale already had some sort of tolerance after seeing so many corpses over the past year.

'Well, this is probably why she has patches or infections all over her skin.' Vale mused as he recalled the girl's appearance who seemed to have a skin disease.

On the other hand, Priscilla was frowning as she didn't expect to see such a gross move by Miles.

"Ugh… She's so brave." Philip couldn't help but comment as he held his hands together. He couldn't imagine how it would feel to be inside that zombie.

If he was in her position, he probably wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

This battle made him realize that he really isn't fit to become a Necromancer.

Being a Dark Magic Caster is probably the best for him. They look mysterious and have unpredictable combat styles.

The battle between Miles and Rayleigh started getting dragged for too long because Miles was hiding inside the Infested Zombie and Rayleigh was doing his best to break the zombie's defense, it wouldn't be so easy.

Unfortunately, aside from it being extremely tough, the Infested Zombie can also spit out acid attacks although it can only remain in its position and turn its head. Furthermore, the Slender Zombie can always follow Rayleigh's movement and he has to defend against its attacks or he will be in a bad position.

As for the Assassin Zombie, Rayleigh has a perfect way to counter it but it requires the usage of his Snake Staff's ability. It means that he would have to switch on defense most of the time.

Then, if Rayleigh was about to kill one of the movies using one of his powerful Dark Spells, they would simply hide behind the Infested Zombie and take all the damage for them.

Rayleigh can be said to be a very impressive Dark Magic Caster…

Vale estimated that Rayleigh has seven Dark Spells not including the spells stored in the Snakes Staff. Anyway, two of the seven spells are Movement Spells and are extremely helpful in how he deals with the Slender Zombie's attacks.

'The Slender Zombie doesn't have a strong physique… Every time it's about to collapse from Rayleigh's Dark Spells it would hide behind the Infested Zombie to recover. It's dexterous but not durable enough.' Vale analyzed as he was already planning in his head how he would deal with this zombie if he was in Rayleigh's position.

Soon, the match between the two ended in a draw…

It was quite a boring battle but it is certainly an eye-opener. Both of them had prepared really well for their battle.

As the battle ended, Vale saw how the Infested Zombie spits out Miles from its stomach… She was drenched with a sticky white and purple fluid. She looks like she was in a terrible condition but after a few stretches on the ground, Miles stood up and looked at Rayleigh with a proud smile.

"It's the first time I see this method of hiding... I'm impressed." Rayleigh commented while kneeling on the ground. He's extremely tired because of how the Slender Zombie and Assassin Zombie kept him running around the stage.

"Hmph… Since you didn't defeat me in the duel, it's considered my win in our bet. You have to pay up." Miles demanded while a few purple and white fluids were trickling down her face.

At this time, the recording stopped before the projection turned completely black.

"What a match..." Philip commented."

"Indeed. No wonder the list recorded described this battle like that…" Vale muttered after recalling what he read in the book.

The book of records in the Archive Room didn't just list the date and participants of the recorded battle. There's also a description of what to expect in the battle.

This is how Vale learned that a Slender Zombie was used in this specific Recording Crystal.

The book described this battle as an 'Interesting combination of zombies against a Curse Specialist. Slender, Infested, and Assassin.'

"Alright… It's my turn now!" Philip said as he removed Vale's crystals from the device and replaced it with the crystal he had prepared.

It is now time to watch Lesley's battle!

Vale also wanted to watch this battle so his full attention remained on the projection.

Soon, Vale witnessed how Lesley dominated her battles. She was a dual specialist and she was both a Dark Alchemist and a Ritual Expert.

She's allowed to use her Variants as a Dark Alchemist and it wasn't limited to one. She's allowed to use three Variants at the same time!

Then, while these three keep her enemy busy, a blood ritual is completed by her in less than 20 seconds.

This Blood Ritual would summon a hand of what seems like a giant devil enough to frighten her opponent into submission.

"That was sick… Ahem, that was terrifying." Vale commented as he can't be sure whether his Advanced Realm Ghost Hand can even stop the fingers of that summoned devil's hand.

In addition to that, the devil's hand doesn't look illusory at all. It feels like there's a real Giant Devil on the other side of the blood magic circle that Lesley had formed.

Time quickly passed, and they all watched the Recording Crystals they collected.

It was unfortunate that Vale only found two Battle Recordings since some of the descriptions in battles didn't write whether a Slender Zombie was used.

Nevertheless, this gave him a rough idea of how to deal with this creature in his upcoming match-up against Larkin's zombie.

Since they still have some time after watching all their selected recordings, they decided to watch a few "popular" battle recordings on the shelves.

They know they are popular because of the notes or descriptions written in the Book of Records.

It seems the secretary of the club was the one writing these notes so it was really helpful for the three.

"Let's continue watching... We still have two more hours. We can watch several more battles." Philip said as he browsed the records book.
