Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 828  Not a Ghost

This Fallen Angel seemed weak, as if he was about to vanish. Furthermore, he was chained to the ground and seemed to be taking his strength without any stop.

Vale had seen a messenger before when he tried to summon Lotus once again. They were beings with a hint of divinity with them.

Furthermore, Vale also knew that the Holy Knights, High Priests, and other special Arcanists who had learned the Holy Arts were able to summon such beings to temporarily fight for them.

If the Evanescent Vesselsʼ trump card was having mysterious beings take over their bodies, the Untaintated Sentinelsʼ special move was summoning these beings.

As the fallen angel turned its gaze toward Vale, a sense of longing and desperation flickered in its luminous eyes…

It was as if he just found his savior who would aid him or give him salvation from its spectral prison.

”Finally, thereʼs someone who can talk to me… Iʼm finally saved…” The Spirit spoke with a melancholic tone. Its voice seemed relief, especially after realizing that the Arcanists that had come to visit him were at a higher level.

Piqued by the Spiritʼs plea, Vale stepped forward. His expression showed empathy as he sought to learn more about the mysteries that bound the fallen angel to its current situation.

”How can we help you?” Vale inquired while using all of his detection spells to understand the surroundings. Well, he wanted to make sure that this wasnʼt a trap and he also wanted to study the chains binding the Messenger.

”Iʼm trapped here! You have to save me!” The fallen angel implored, its voice filled with a hint of urgency.

As the fallen angelʼs pleas echoed, Vale and Aubrey stood silently. After all, they were still unaware of the full story as to why this being was trapped here in the first place.

It might even be a demon disguised as a Messenger or Angel.

”Hmm?”

Vale frowned for a bit as he sensed that the Spiritʼs voice carried a haunting melody that stirred the depths of their souls, compelling them to heed its call for liberation from the spectral chains that bound it to the mortal realm.

Indeed, it was a charm spell!

”Please! I implore you, break the chain that binds me… Someone betrayed me! ” The fallen angel pleaded once again.

Its luminous eyes fixed upon Vale and Aubrey… Aubrey may not have noticed the subtle Psychic Art being used on them, but Vale could easily tell what was going on.

ʼWell… Letʼs see what your planning right now…ʼ Vale mused.

Vale smirked as his keen intuition sensed a hidden truth from what it was saying…

Turning to Aubrey, he exchanged a knowing glance before addressing the being with an inquisitive voice.

”Before we act, we must understand why you are bound in such a manner. Enlighten us, so we may aid you in your plight.” Vale replied.

With a sorrowful sigh, the fallen angel revealed its name as Rasiel, a being of divine lineage betrayed by a Half-Immortal from this Human Realm who coveted its celestial powers and sought to take all of his energy to increase the Arcanistʼs chances of becoming a Full Immortal.

Rasiel then made a detailed story about how he was summoned by the Half-Immortal only to get trapped… Apparently, the cemetery where he was summoned may not have corpses on the ground, but it had ashes of powerful Arcanists throughout history and were used as Formation Nodes to trap him.

Though Vale detected a subtle hint of deception in Rasielʼs words, he chose to extend his hand in compassion.

”Fine… Let me break it for you…” Vale said, which confused Aubrey for a moment. Nonetheless, Vale was immortal so she decided to trust him.

Click…

With a flip of his fingers, Vale used his Divinity to break the spectral chain that bound Rasiel…

As soon as he did so, the energy being suppressed by the chains was released!

In just a few moments, a surge of malevolent energy crackled through the air, a dark miasma that sought to ensnare Valeʼs body!

Rasiel actually turned into a dark smoke and tried to possessed Valeʼs body!

”So it was like that…”

In a swift and decisive motion, Valeʼs innate powers as a Shadow Immortal surged forth… To be exact, he used various forms of energy to stop the Messenger from entering his body!

The dark smoke stopped a few inches from him as Vale resisted the fallen angelʼs insidious attempt to possess him!

”Youʼre too obvious…” Vale commented.

It didnʼt end there! As soon as Vale measured the strength of the Messenger, he calmly surrounded it with his own essence…

He showed that even if he was only an Avatar, he capable of using the Shadow Essence without any issues!

It didnʼt take that long before the Messenger returned to its original form while being chained by the Darkness that Vale had created.

As soon as this happened, Vale had already obtained full information about this being, and he was shocked to realize that this Messenger was just a cover!

”So it was like that…”

As the spectral energies ebbed and flowed around them, Valeʼs eyes lit up.

”Interesting…” Vale murmured, his gaze shifting from the spectral form before him to Aubrey, a flicker of intrigue dancing in his eyes.

”It seems we have stumbled upon what you seek…” Vale remarked, as he turned to Aubrey, a knowing smile playing upon his lips. Aubrey, nodded in silent agreement…

”Youʼre right…”

Her thoughts were drawn to the ghost that haunted the cemeteryʼs ancient grounds. The mission that she just took as a Paranormal Investigator.

Yet, as Valeʼs words hung in the air, Aubreyʼs keen senses caught a glimpse of something amiss, a subtle shift in Valeʼs smile.

”Wait... Youʼre not referring to the ghost of the Lost Arcane Arts, are you?” Aubreyʼs voice rang out, a note of disbelief in her words as she confronted Vale with surprise and suspicion.

”Youʼre correct. This ghost is quite special... It learned an unknown Arcane Path, and after confirming it a few times, itʼs really practicing the Primordial Chaos Arts. It was just covered in many layers, so it took me some time to discover it.” Vale replied.
