Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 848: Demonify

The moonlight was bright, and it was such a perfect night if Vale just wanted to rest. However, he had to chase one of the Seven Deadly Sins that had remained in this Human Realm for some reason.

Thankfully, it didnʼt take long before the Sloth realized that it was going nowhere. Vale was actually just looking forward to finding other Seven Deadly Sins or other bases formed by them. This was the reason why he wasnʼt in such a rush to capture Sloth.

However, just a few kilometers outside the side, the evil being stopped and leaned on a huge tree on the road.

Slothʼs appearance matched his sin: a bloated, grotesque devil with sagging jowls and eyes half-lidded. His obese form seemed to absorb the moonlight, casting a shadow that stretched across the road...

”I donʼt want to fight,” Sloth rasped, wiping sweat from his brow. ”Iʼve barely eaten. You didnʼt even let me finish those Evil Spirits! You hate them anyway; you shouldʼve allowed me to feast peacefully.”

He complained as if the two were friends bantering on each other.

Nonetheless, Valeʼs Avatar remained stoic as he gazed at the Deadly Sin. He doesnʼt plan to underestimate them just because they were acting weak.

Although he was confident with his strength, Vale didnʼt want to get caught in a trap.

”Why are you here in the human realm?” he asked, ignoring Slothʼs complaints.

Slothʼs eyes narrowed. ”Of course I want to get stronger,” he grumbled.

”If I find the Divine Extractor, then thatʼs even better. Do you have a clue? Or is that you, the Divine Extractor?”

Vale frowned after hearing the Divine Extractor. Nonetheless, it appears that the Seven Deadly Sins had been informed by the Demon Lord about the Divine Extractor but for some strange reason, he didnʼt mention that it was him...

After all, he extracted the powers of the Demon Lord, so the latter must be aware that he had the Talent he was looking for.

ʼIs that to ensure that no one gets to take my Talent before him?ʼ Vale mused. However, it wasnʼt important right now.

Before Vale could reply, Slothʼs sinister smile widened, revealing yellowed teeth.

Without warning, he lunged, his flabby arms swinging like wrecking balls.

Valeʼs Avatar sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Boom!

The area behind him suddenly exploded as the Slothʼs physical strength was actually more powerful than Pride! He knew that it was pure strength because he didnʼt feel any Evil or Malevolent Energy when the Sloth suddenly punched!

That was actually the reason why he had a delayed reaction!

He didnʼt expect this Evil Creature to engage in physical combat!

Seeing that Vale evaded, Sloth swung his arms once again and this time, stronger.

Unfortunately, all of his attempts were not enough to hit Vale. The Avatar was able to dodge at a hairʼs breadth!

His movement might seem slower than Slothʼs, but in the end, he still uses Cosmic Sight Spell, a Spell he obtained from the Dimensional Creature, together with the now broken Rift Blade.

Anyway, Vale could tell that each of the Deadly Sinʼs attacks carried unimaginable power. He had to do something about this since he didnʼt want to flee from such a challenge.

Vale then tightened his fists and struck at Slothʼs chest!

Boom!

The impact sent shockwaves throughout Slothʼs body, and even the ground trembled. The road cracked because of the force of that punch! Although he was only an Avatar, the strength he could release could not be underestimated at all.

However, even with all that might, the Sloth grinned as his yellowed teeth bared.

”If thatʼs all you can do, then Iʼll devour your essence,” he rasped. ”And then, Iʼll rest.”

Valeʼs Avatarʼs resolve hardened.

He had to accept it. He couldnʼt match Slothʼs physical strength for some reason, but he had other weapons.

He summoned his Shadow Blade-a blade made of his Shadow Essence... This blade was stronger than his Shadow Mutilation Spell since that spell could no longer work against those with Divinity or a similar level of strength.

The blade hummed as it tried to cut the Sloth into two!

Sloth dodged this time and didnʼt take the attack like when he defended against Valeʼs fist. Seeing that Vale decided to get serious, Sloth grinned and spread his unique power...

This power was forcefully suppressing Valeʼs Shadow Divinity!

ʼSloth? Is this the power of Sloth? Itʼs trying to make my powers slumber?ʼ Vale frowned at this as he tried to think of how to counter this.

ʼIs he also suppressing his power? Is that why heʼs fighting with physical strength?ʼ Vale couldnʼt help but connect the dots, but if that was the truth, then perhaps Sloth would be a very terrifying opponent if he decided to release his full abilities.

ʼTsk...ʼ

Vale frowned as once again, he had to fight with his physical strength...

ʼEven if I can still use my Divinity... I have to use it before it gets forcefully suppressed by the Slothʼs unique power.ʼ Vale thought as he considered what to do.

Whooshh~

Valeʼs Avatar sidestepped, narrowly avoiding another attack from the Deadly Sin.

”Stop! Iʼm not the Divine Extractor...” Vale declared.

Slothʼs eyes widened, but he shook his head. ”You might be lying... However, if youʼre not,

then tell me!” he rasped. ”Where is it? Whoʼs the Divine Extractor!”

It was followed by a loud road that was aiming to incapacitate Vale!

Well, even if Vale was lying, he would know the truth if he could just kill the Shadow Immortal

in front of him.

After all, he had a method to obtain that Talent as long as he got Valeʼs soul!

However, as he was about to kill Vale, since he thought that the Immortal was affected by his

roar, something unexpected happened.

Valeʼs arm suddenly started twisting, and horns started to grow!

His body grew twice his size, and his nails grew sharper. His skin then started turning

maroon!

”Demonification?!”

This time, it was the Sloth that was surprised!
