Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

"What happened to you?" Vale asked.

He was shocked and worried by her condition.

Vale saw that her body was fading and becoming transparent. It was definitely a serious problem!

He immediately checked her condition with his Spells and felt that her vitality was low and unstable.

It didn't take him that long before he realized what had happened. He had already heard from Pearl about how Faith saved Denise from certain death.

There was no doubt that she had overused the Temporal Timepiece and that it had taken a toll on her life force.

"Faith, you're turning ethereal right now. You're losing your vitality... How do you feel? Is there anything I can help you?" Vale worriedly asked as he held her hands.

He wanted to feel the flow of her energy while using his Dragon's True Sight.

Faith then looked at him and tried to reassure him.

"Don't worry, Vale. I'm fine. I won't die just because of this. I can still recover from this... Using the Temporal Timepiece is worth it. It's amazing. You should check it…"

Vale shook his head and scolded her.

"Faith, you're not fine. You're in danger. I can check the Temporal Timepiece later. I feel like you'll disappear soon. I can tell you're in a dangerous situation… Instead, tell me how it works. Is it some kind of a curse? Does it drain your Spirit? Your vitality?"

"Mhmm… No… The Temporal Timepiece took a part of my soul… My soul is currently weak, but I won't die because of it.

"What? Can you even recover an injury in your soul? Are you just going to live with it? Ugh… Can you tell me if transferring Divinity would work?" Vale asked.

"Divinity? I'm not so sure… However, my body can contain them for a little… You can try." Faith said as he didn't dislike this idea.

She knew very well that Vale was no longer just a Half-Immortal but a true one and that he was already capable of producing his own Divinity.

"Mhmmm…" Vale nodded as he took a deep breath to prepare himself.

He decided to cure her by transferring his Divinity to her and this won't be easy…

He informed the others of what he was about to do to ensure that no one would bother them in this room.

This process was a risky one since Faith was too weak to protect herself from the power of Divinity, but he had no choice. He had to save her, and he had to stabilize her vitality.

"Faith, I'm going to start… Don't fight back and just let the Divinity flow… I will adjust it according to your condition… Are you ready?"

Faith nodded and agreed to his words.

"Vale, I trust you. Don't get too nervous. Even if something happens, it will not be your fault..."

Vale nodded and helped her hands tightly.

"Very well…"

Vale muttered as his body started to emit the Shadow Divinity and gathered it in his hands.

This was a very different method than just attacking someone with his Divinity, he had to channel his Divinity into his hands and placed it into Faith's chest.

This was the quickest way of transferring his Divinity.

He then connected his energy or perhaps Spirit Strands with hers so he could have a better understanding of Energy Flow before he began to transfer his Divinity.

Transferring Divinity wasn't as quick and easy as the Divine Crystal.

It was a complex and delicate process… Normally, it requires perfect synchronization and harmony between the giver and the receiver. According to his studies with Pearl, they might also need a strong will and a strong bond.

It was a technique that could heal and empower, but it could also harm and weaken the party involved...

As Vale started to fill her with his Divinity, Faith felt a surge of pain and pleasure.

Her body was weak, so strong energy would certainly harm her body if Vale wasn't careful enough.

Nevertheless, Vale wasn't incompetent in this.

They soon felt their Divinity and vitality flowing and merging.

It was quite strange, but they felt their bodies and souls becoming one, even if it was just a feeling…

Faith felt her power and potential increasing and expanding.

She also felt her etherealness and weakness disappearing and stabilizing.

"Uhmmm…" Faith started to groan in pleasure as Vale's control and stability over his Divinity were impeccable.

Of course, Vale also felt a surge of joy seeing that it was effective...

However, he couldn't celebrate yet. As they slowly felt their bodies or energy becoming one, Vale soon realized that he had already spent 200 Divinity Points to save Faith!

Then, he confirmed Faith's condition one last time before he decided to stop…

They then opened their eyes and saw each other.

Vale smiled as he saw Faith's body was no longer ethereal like a ghost. Although she still looked a bit like a ghost because of her paleness, it wasn't dangerous anymore.

"Thank you…"

Faith smiled and hugged Vale…

However, Vale didn't quite expect Faith to suddenly kiss him!

"Oopp--" This had surprised him a lot, but he also realized what had happened.

'This Divinity again!' Vale thought as he swiftly suppressed his Divinity. It truly does strange things to its receiver, and he had forgotten about it since Pearl was no longer affected by it.

As soon as Vale's Divinity was suppresed, Faith immediately realized what was going on, but she simply smiled and didn't mind it too much.

"I think I got stronger than before… You didn't just heal me. Am I considered a Half-Immortal now?" She asked.

"I don't think so… Although you have Divinity, you have no way of accepting Divinity on your own or even producing them…"

"I guess so…"

Faith said as she looked at the Temporal Timepiece and saw that it was glowing and pulsing.

It seemed that their ritual just now was felt by the Pocketwatch and reacted to it.

They felt a connection and a resonance with it.

It was time to explore the Temporal Timepiece, one of the Artifacts left by the Three Paragons.
