Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

832  The four Lost Arcane Arts

Vale's Avatar immediately acted as soon as he realized their race…

He could easily tell that they were from the Shadow Race, so he immediately showed his Shadow Divinity and extended his Shadow Essence.

A while ago, he only seemed like a normal Arcanist. However, after removing his concealment and showing himself as a Shadow Immortal, the Shadowed figures immediately felt intimidated.

But this fear from the Shadow Immortal was quickly erased by another form of shadow in their heart!

It turns out that there are more than 300 members of the Shadow Race hiding all this time!

"Do you know them, Sir Vale?" Odessa asked after hearing Vale's reaction.

"Kind of… They're Shadow Sentinels. They came from the Shadow Realm and not this realm, to my knowledge. They must be prisoners… or maybe captured by some Celestial Beings and made them work here as guards." Vale replied.

The others could only nod at this since they don't know much about the Shadow Realm. Even for Odessa, who had made numerous rituals in her Arcane Tower, she hadn't tried communicating to this realm yet.

The rituals needed for it were just too incomplete, and she had no time or money to spend in researching how to perfect such a ritual and connect to this realm.

Soon, their conversation was cut off as the 300 or so Shadow Sentinels launched their attack!

As the shadowy figures closed in, Vale's team could see their eyes gleaming with malice… They don't seem to be in their right mind as well!

They were only filled with hatred for the trespassers!

Aurion, the True Immortal among them, stood in front as he prepared himself to cast a Celestial Art that would have turned the tide of battle in their favor.

It would spend a lot of his Divinity, but he didn't mind it.

However, as he prepared to channel his celestial energies, Vale's Avatar raised a hand to halt him. It was a silent signal that showed his confidence in his own abilities to suppress the enemies.

Well, Vale also knew that Aurion's spell would kill most of these creatures! That was a waste!

"Just cast a barrier…" Vale said, which Aurion didn't mind.

Apparently, Vale had to do this since only his main body possessed the Divine Extraction. Because of that, he planned to collect these Shadow Sentinels until his main body recovered. After all, he felt that these Shadow Sentinels would hasten his advance if he extracted their Shadow Essence someday!

In just a few seconds, Vale immediately created a plan to suppress them all without killing them.

Drawing upon his Spell Models, he unleashed a series of powerful spells that would help him achieve his goal.

The first spell that he cast was actually from one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the sin of Pride.

Vale triggered the Supremacy Surge, a surge of dark energy that enveloped Vale, boosting his strength to unparalleled heights while instilling a paralyzing fear in the hearts of his enemies.

Then, with a deft flick of his fingers, Vale cast the Demon Eyes Spell, a spell of mesmerizing power that froze the 300 Shadow Sentinels in their tracks, rendering them helpless before his might for a mere 10 seconds, but it was a crucial moment.

He broke their momentum and weakened their defenses!

This brief moment allowed Vale to cast a stronger spell that required about about 12 seconds to be unleashed!

As the Shadow Sentinels reeled from the effects of the Demon Eyes Spell and started breaking the barrier that Aurion had placed, Vale finally invoked the Hoarding Shadow Spell, a cunning enchantment that sapped their literal shadows and weakened their resolve, leaving them vulnerable to his next attack.

'It's a lot more effective than I thought…' Vale commented in his mind.

This insidious Hoarding Shadow spell was actually from one of the Seven Deadly Sins as well. Specifically, from the sin of Greed! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was truly perfect since it preyed upon the inherent weaknesses of the shadowy beings, draining them of their strength and vitality.

Finally, Vale unleashed the Dominion Thirst, another skill he had extracted from the sin of Greed, that twisted the minds of the Shadow Sentinels and bent them to his will.

In an instant, the 300 shadowy figures fell under his command, their once formidable powers now harnessed to serve his purpose. Because of their nature and his control over the shadows, their allegiance was irrevocably bound to his own!

"Those spells… Are they Celestial Arts? No, the crowd control spells you used felt similar to some Forbidden Arts I know… Very impressive." Odessa muttered as she couldn't help but feel glad to join this expedition.

It wasn't every day that she got to see an Immortal in action.

Well, the reason why she joined the Shadow Immortal's league was simple. She wanted knowledge.

She had been a Tower Master for a long time, and no one was above her. No one could teach her anything, and she was always the one sharing knowledge with others and making them stronger.

Even with the various research teams that she created, she could only discover new unimportant things that could at most affect ordinary people or weaker Arcanists.

Seeing how Vale used some unknown Spells against some strange Shadow creatures, she couldn't help but feel excited.

Soon, she watched Vale try to communicate with the Shadow sentinels he started controlling, but after a few moments, he sighed and shook his head.

"It's impossible to communicate with them. Something seemed to be wrong with their brains, and they could only follow simple instructions. They're probably been modified already." Vale explained.

He couldn't help but remember the homunculus project of the Holy Arts Faction because of this. They had modified several Arcanists or even ordinary people in this project and created Druids who could only follow the instructions of those above them.

In the end, Vale could only give up asking them, and soon, they surrounded Vale's group to form a barrier of protection before they explored the remaining Prison Towers.

Soon, they discovered the four lost Arcane Arts!

They were the Primordial Chaos Arts, the Spirit Arts, the Celestial Arts, and the Void Arts.
