Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 634 March!

”Your Majesty! Marquis Morgan and his allies have launched their attack. They are marching towards the capital!”

A knight in full armor reported to King Dominick III of the Ruri Kingdom. The king was in his seventies, but as an Aura Master who had access to all the nutrients and potions he needed, he looked like he was still in his forties.

He wore a majestic robe befitting a king and a jeweled crown on his head. He smiled at the knight who had brought the news.

”Let them come... I will wipe them out in one fell swoop.” King Dominick III said as he was prepared for this to happen.

He was not surprised by this final act of rebellion, since he had slowly lost the southern and eastern regions of the Kingdom to them.

He couldʼve probably waged war in to the various territories that were supporting the Marquis, but that would weaken the capitalʼs defense.

Because of their scarce forces, he had decided to gather all his elite Knights and Arcanists in the capital instead of dispersing them.

He also allowed the nobles of his faction to protect their lands with all their strength. He allowed them to hire as many Arcanists as they wanted without the limit that had previously been imposed on them.

Lastly, with a mysterious barrier made by Great Arcanist Ves, the founder of the Ruri Kingdom, he believed that this was a perfect trap to purge the Kingdom.

Soon, the king went out of the castle to admire the splendid city.

He saw the busy streets, filled with people of all kinds. He saw the shops, selling various goods and services.

On the other side, he saw the temples, where the faithful worshipped the gods.

As he looked closer to his castle, he saw the gardens, where the flowers bloomed and the birds sang. He saw the monuments where the heroes of their Kingdom were honored.

Then, as his gaze shifted to the walls of the capital, he saw the Knights, Druids, and Magicians, that were led by his sons and daughters.

Then, he saw the barrier that surrounded and protected the capital from invaders.

It was a massive dome of light that emitted a gentle glow. It was a complex Formation Art that relied on multiple Magic Circles and precious items.

It was a powerful defense that could withstand any attack, no matter how strong they were. Furthermore, as a King, he could use this dome of light to gather the energy it sustained and return it to the invaders!

He felt proud of his city and this barrier that had been built by the first king.

”Iʼm ready, Marquis Morgan... This is my Kingdom, and my legacy. I will show you why our family is the sole rulers of this land!” King Dominick III said with a smirk on his face as he saw the airships and ground forces of the rebel army.

He was surprised that they still had so many after the purge that he had ordered, but he still felt confident of his triumph!

At this time, there were 30 Combat Airships on standby within the cityʼs barrier. Once he controlled the barrier to return the attack, he would have them finish the remaining rebel forces.

On the other hand, the Marquis only managed to gather a dozen of airships... Two of them even looked like they were from the Church of the Divine Sorcerer.

ʼSo those foolish sorcerers had made their choice... What a shame... I wanted to use their knowledge to improve our Artificial Human Project. I suppose weʼll have to take everything from them once we finish this...ʼ The king thought as he saw familiar airships of the Church along with the Marquis.

He knew that the treasures of the Church were immense. Once he destroyed their main force here, it would be easy for him to take everything they had.

Nonetheless, he also noticed the various flags and banners from different noble families. Some of them were from the Marquisʼ Faction but most of them were unexpectedly from the Neutral Faction...

ʼSo they have turned against us in the end...ʼ King Dominick III grieved, but after a while, he still showed a wicked grin.

In the end, they would gather all of their bodies and advance his Artificial Human Project!

This war will be a blessing in disguise! There might be many sacrifices to make this happen, but in the end, as long as their bloodline continues, this kingdom will continue to exist.

”Come! Try and destroy our barrier!” The King shouted as he saw the Airships draw closer.

But as he was waiting for the Airships to begin their bombardment or for a large Fusion Spell to try and pierce the Barrier, he noticed the Airships parted as if they were awaiting someoneʼs arrival at the center.instead saw the arrival of a mythical creature!

It was a huge blue dragon!

It was a majestic and awe-inspiring sight, as the blue dragon soared in the sky.

”W-what was that? Am I seeing things?”

”An illusion?! This is too good!”

”This must be an illusion! Do not falter!”

”No! Canʼt you feel the Dragonʼs Might!”

”Thatʼs definitely real!”

”This Barrier will protect us!”

The soldiers guarding the city wall panicked at the sight of the mythical creature! However, the Commanderʼs shout, filled with his Aura, immediately took them back.

The Dragon was, no doubt, a real one. It was huge and powerful, with scales that shone like sapphires.

It had wings that spanned over ahundred meters and a tail that whipped the wind.

It had horns that curved like blades and eyes that glowed like stars.

Rooaaarrr!

As the dragon roared, the barrier and the castle wall trembled!

They saw its teeth that sparkled like ice, and claws that ripped like steel. It had a breath that spewed like lightning, and a roar that thundered like a storm!

”This is impossible!” King Dominick III said as he finally realized why the Marquis dared to attack the capital.
