Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

Chapter 627 Spirit World?

627 Spirit World?

Over the past few weeks, the only Arcanists he had considered extracting were those from the Churches who hated him, the Holy Arts Practitioners who were hunting the Dark Magicians, those who dared to cause trouble in his territory, the demons from the Abyss, and the Arcanists belonging to the Royal Family of this Kingdom.

However, now that he thinks about it, he could also hunt the rogue Dark Arts Practitioners for his own development.

Of course, if they weren't terrible people, he would simply take their Spell Models or Energy Points and not eliminate them.

"Since there are still a few months before we attack the capital, I can still roam around…" Vale muttered softly as he left the unconscious students. He even targeted their memories in the extraction process to confirm their purpose for coming here.

'So Professor Gale was just too greedy, huh…' Vale mused as he realized that their true mission here was only to look for the students who went missing and to confirm that Faith did not betray them.

At the very least, the students had no idea that there was a mission related to the Masked Devil Incarnate until they got here.

'I guess it's no longer important…' Vale mused as he decided on what to do next.

With the blindfold or the broken Arcana from the Archbishop, he could easily travel around the kingdom and actively search for extractable people… There was no need to wait until the Marquis' rebellion started!

He only had to be careful not to be ganged up by Demon Saints in case they dared to look for him.

'Well, I just have to be careful not to extract those innocent or those who were on the Marquis' side.

With this in mind, Vale decided to start on this task tomorrow!

For now, he wanted to have a nice dinner with Lisa, Chad, and Denise…

***

In the meantime, the commotion brought by the battle just now was finally suppressed.

Lisa and Chad worked together and assured everyone that the enemies had been dealt with and that they should not worry about them again.

Of course, there was one more Dark Arts Practitioner who had assisted them and protected the townspeople.

It was Denise White, clad in a black magic robe that hid her aura, she informed the police officers of what was going on and protected the people from being harmed by stray spells or the Arcane Energy leaking from Vale and Professor Gale.

After all, ordinary people had no power to defend themselves against such mysterious force.

If they were hit by a strong Dark Energy, it would seep into their bodies, and their health could deteriorate rapidly. It wasn't something that could be healed by drinking tonics.

"Whew~ It's finally over… Lotus, thank you for your hard work." Denise said as she confirmed that there were no more lingering Arcane Energy around the area.

She wasn't new to this task since she had completed similar tasks in the Arcanist Guild before. However, since there were also remnants of Holy Energy around, it was quite challenging for Lotus to move around.

"Mhmm… It's not too difficult. I want to take the energy of those unconscious Dark Magicians." Lotus suddenly said.

"Ahh… Is that so? Can you not kill them in the process?"

"Of course…"

With that said, Lotus, who was covered in a robe of darkness, went to the unconscious Arcanists.

However, Vale was still there…

lightsnοvεl "It's been a while, Lotus…" Vale muttered as he sensed Lotus' arrival. Lotus was still hiding in the shadows of the surroundings, but there was no way he would not notice her presence.

"Mhmm… Why did you not visit the Spirit World to find me?" Lotus spoke with a gentle but serious tone in her voice.

'Ahh?' Vale didn't expect such a question and was unable to properly reply.

'Why did not I not visit the Spirit World? What am I going to do there? How am I supposed to go there in the first place?' Vale had no idea what to say, so he took a deep breath to collect his thoughts before giving a reply.

"I wasn't aware that it's possible..." Vale murmured in disbelief.

As he uttered those words, Lotus, the enigmatic Dark Spirit, materialized before him, her piercing gaze locking onto his.

Vale studied her familiar visage, realizing her unchanged appearance elicited a mix of emotions within him.

'She still looks the same… Beautiful…'

Then, while meeting her eyes, a sudden realization dawned on him. She was actually questioning why he hadn't ventured into the Spirit World to seek her out!

"Ahem... Lotus, I attempted summoning you, as it's the only method I know. However, instead of summoning you back, I was reprimanded by a Messenger. He looked so intimidating at that time so I didn't consider that method at all. After that, he arranged for Yvaine to accompany m…" Vale explained, hoping to convey the circumstances that had led to their situation.

Lotus maintained her silence, her inscrutable presence filling the air.

After a brief pause, she diverted her attention to the unconscious Dark Arcanists.

"I'll be taking their energy…" Lotus declared, her tone resolute.

"Yes, of course. You may take them. Their fates need not concern you… Even if they die here, I will take care of it!" Vale responded, eager to demonstrate his willingness to accommodate her desires.

Whether it stemmed from remorse or a desire to please his first Dark Spirit, he couldn't be certain.Thɪs chapter is updated by Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

However, Lotus swiftly dismissed his acquiescence.

"Denise doesn't want them to die," she stated before proceeding to touch each of the Dark Arcanists.

Vale waited for her to finish her task while thinking of what to say.

However, as soon as Lotus finished her "extraction", Vale was still unable to think of something to say, and she just disappeared…

In the end, Vale could only proceed with his original plan and invited Lisa, Chad, and Denise to a dinner…
