Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy



Vale tapped into the arcane energy within him, activating his Spell, Traceless Shift.

This ability granted him the power to manipulate the dimensional fabric around targeted items, allowing him to bring them to himself.

Vale took this Spell from an Evil Creature, and up until now, he couldn't fathom this mysterious Spell's principles. He only knew why it worked, but he had no idea how it was doing it.

Whom~

In an instant, Vale's hand reached out towards the Necromancer's Magic Robe, an artifact that enhanced the Necromancer's abilities, and the Mystical Rings that granted him additional powers. Through the manipulation of dimensions, Vale successfully extracted these items, weakening the Necromancer's capability and leaving him vulnerable.

After his Traceless Shift reached the Advanced Realm, it could now 'shift' multiple items at the same time!

As the Necromancer's items were whisked away, the balance of power shifted. Some of the Death Knights under the Necromancer's control were suddenly released, their connection to the dark magic severed.

The Necromancer was confused by his sudden disconnection with some of his summoned Undead, but it didn't take long before he realized what Vale had done.

The Necromancer's eyes widened in shock and fury as he realized the loss of his mystical items. His voice trembled with anger… "You dare steal from me? You will pay for this!"

This wasn't the first time he had encountered someone who was capable of stealing items since there were Mystic Arts Practitioners who could also do something similar. However, this was undoubtedly the first time someone succeeded in stealing something from him!

Unfazed by the Necromancer's threats, Vale stood his ground, the stolen Magic Robe and Mystical Rings in his possession. "Let's see what you can do without these artifacts…"

Vale muttered as he realized that 6 out of 18 Undead Beings had turned against their summoner!

In an instant, Vale gained some helpers!

It turns out that the man can only summon 12 Undead Beings without those artifacts.

'Watching those Battle Recordings was worth it...' Vale thought as he was aware that Undead Beings summoned by Necromancers wouldn't just disappear if they got weakened.

They would only vanish if the summoning Spell itself was canceled. In this case, the sudden disconnection of the Necromancer's artifacts had severed their connection, leaving the Undead Beings without guidance.

Of course, the battle was still not easy.

Vale fought with determination to extract the Necromancer alive! He no longer planned to kill him off so quickly!

He commanded Yvaine to stash away the Mystical Items he had stolen before charging forward, striking down the remaining undead minions and pressing the offensive against the enraged Necromancer.

During this time, Vale didn't get too close to the uncontrolled Undead Beings since they might also attack him.

Instead, he circled around them and fought against the Zombies and Skeleton Warriors.

"Hmph! I still have 3 Death Knights on me…"The Necromancer said as he cast another Spell on himself.

Bone Armor!

"Come, young man!" the Necromancer taunted, his voice laced with arrogance.

He only lost control of 2 Death Knights, 2 Shield Zombies, and 2 Skeleton Warriors. It wasn't a big deal for him.

Vale pressed forward, striking down the remaining undead minions with his Stormbringer Sword. His movements were swift and precise, his strikes calculated to weaken the Necromancer's forces.

'Just stay there, Necromancer… I'll deal with you once these Undead are done.' Vale thought as he ignored the Necromancer for now.

Although it was a common strategy to attack the Summoners first instead of the Summoned Beings, Vale knew that these Necromancers had Dark Spells that could keep them alive for a long duration.

With that in mind, he decided to target the Undead Beings to let the Necromancer spend more Dark Energy in the process!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The battle intensified with clashes between Vale, the Zombies, and Skeleton Warriors. Though the Necromancer had lost control of some undead, Vale knew he had to cut down their numbers further.

Each swing of Vale's blade carried the weight of half of his physical strength and sword technique, but to his surprise, they weren't being crushed so easily!

'They're stronger than I expected…' Vale thought as his respect for the Necromancers grew slightly. He thought that these Zombies wouldn't be so powerful!

Vale had no choice but to use his whole Strength and Agility in the process…

However, it wouldn't be easy…

One of the Death Knights finally caught him!

The Death Knight lunged forward with a powerful swing of its massive sword.

'Hmm?'

Vale's reflexes kicked in, and he swiftly evaded the attack, narrowly escaping the deadly blade.

In response, he retaliated with a series of quick strikes, aiming for the gaps in the Death Knight's armor.

His Shadowblade Dance technique came into play, allowing him to move with unparalleled agility. He darted in and out, launching precise and calculated attacks.

The clash of steel echoed across the deck of the Airship as Vale and the Death Knight engaged in a fierce duel.

The Death Knight's movements were heavy and relentless, its strikes fueled by a deathly aura.

On the other hand, Vale relied on his nimble footwork and quick reflexes to evade the brute force of the undead warrior. It was a battle of finesse versus raw power.

Luckily, his Incorruptible Body was already Level 9, so the Deathly Aura and Corruption Energy that were trying to seep into his body were being negated.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Despite Vale's skill and determination, the Death Knight proved to be a formidable opponent.

Its unholy strength and resilience pushed Vale to his limits.

'So strong? What if I'm fighting against three or five Death Knights?! I'd probably have no other choice but to use the Stormbringer's real power or use my Divine Lightning…' Vale mused as he realized that they are tougher than the ones in the Dark Soul Tower.

The clash of their weapons sent sparks flying, each strike resonating with a force that shook the airship's deck.

Nevertheless, he knew that prolonging the fight would serve a dual purpose. Not only would it give him an opportunity to gather more information about the Necromancer's abilities, but it would also force the Necromancer to expend more dark energy to maintain control over his forces.

With this strategy in mind, Vale deliberately made the fight more challenging. He feigned vulnerability, allowing the Death Knight to land a few grazing blows, all the while observing the Necromancer's reactions.

The exertion on the Necromancer's face was evident as he struggled to maintain control over his undead minions.

'So it's like this…'

As the battle raged on, Vale's determination remained unyielding. He used this as an opportunity to increase his mastery in his Shadowblade Dance and keep the Death Knight at bay.
