Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 836  Perfect

As Vale gazed into the eyes of the enigmatic entity, his mind was filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

It just looked weird and also interesting at the same time. He couldn't help but marvel at the sight of four arms and its third eye on his forehead…

It wasn't every day he could encounter such a being, so he was curious about them.

After feeling satisfied with his observation, he asked.

"What is your name?" Vale inquired.

"I am Sreas, a Great Warrior of the Asura Race, Shadow Immortal," The entity replied without a pause.

The revelation sent ripples of surprise through the gathered companions.

They couldn't help but feel impressed. "Asura?" Odessa and Chad repeated. They had no idea about this race. It wasn't included in their studies, and no ancient textbooks had anything written about them.

Aurion, on the other hand, simply nodded after hearing this. Although he hadn't seen one, he seemed to be aware of their existence.

Jin, the Time Manipulator, was the most surprised among them. His eyes were wide with disbelief at the mention of the long-forgotten Asura Race.

"Asura..." Jin breathed, his voice was almost a whisper. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The named race shouldn't exist right now… It was something that should be extinct already. After all, so many Time Manipulators had been searching for the Asura Race, but they had never been seen by the best investigators in existence!

Through the annals of time, there were numerous Time Manipulators exploring various realms and worlds in order to find out their secrets and their mysterious powers.

These Time Manipulators would even use numerous Forbidden-Level Temporal Arts just to get a higher chance of meeting such creatures.

However, it had never been successful until the search for them was stopped by the Timeless King.

"They were thought to be extinct, their legacy should've been lost to the sands of time…" Jin mused, his mind racing with fragments of knowledge and half-remembered tales that explained that their very essence could control darkness including the forces of evil and corruption that had ultimately led to their downfall.

Vale, his brow furrowed in contemplation, pressed onward with his inquiries…

He wanted to know more about the Asura Race from Sreas himself.

After a moment of thought, Vale asked.

"Tell us about your origin… Tell us about the Asura Race and how you got here…" Vale asked while also observing the surroundings. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He realized that there might be another Asura, so he quickly changed his question before Sreas could answer.

"I'm the only remaining Asura in this Tower. It had been a long time since a Celestial had given us food. I'm lucky to have evolved before they disappeared, so I can survive just by absorbing the energy in the surroundings."

Vale and the others nodded at this.

Soon, the Asura began to recount the tale of his people…

He started to introduce their world, which was filled with ancient empires. Just like humans, they also had plenty of wars waged with fellow Asuras. However, it all changed after they were found by other Dimensional Travelers or Celestial Beings.

In the distant past, the Asura had stood as paragons of martial prowess and dark magic… Their civilization was only second to the Celestial Beings. If not for the problem with the resources, there wouldn't be any civil wars in their world.

Nonetheless, as the Celestials introduced various Arcane Knowledge, the Asura delved ever deeper into the forbidden arts of darkness and corruption to make themselves stronger.

However, there were consequences that awaited them.

In their relentless pursuit of power, they had drawn the ire of the Dimensional Creatures. They were beings that could control space and spelled doom for the Asura and sealed their fate in the annals of time.

"It was the Celestial's plan to bring the Dimensional Creatures to us! They used this opportunity to capture us and take everything from my race!"

Sreas recounted the tragic downfall of his people, as they were soon imprisoned within the confines of this Tower.

In the end, he painted the Celestial Beings as robbers who had taken all their knowledge about the Dark Magic. Furthermore, because the Dark Magic could easily corrupt the bodies of the Celestials if they tried learning it, they made various modifications to this Dark Magic and created potions through their blood or essence to help them mitigate the corruption of the Darkness within their bodies.

Everyone was surprised after hearing thiss. Even Aurion had no knowledge that the first celestials had done something like this.

Furthermore, Sreas was under Vale's control, so there was no way he could be lying to them.

However, if this was the truth, Vale couldn't help but shiver…

Perhaps, all the Arcane Paths out there came from other races, and the first Celestial Beings of Dimensional Travelers had decided to gather them and create the Arcane Paths!

"But for what purpose? Why were they passed down to humans?" Vale couldn't help but feel curious.

However, he also couldn't help but question himself if he should delve deeper into this.

After all, all of these were in the past.

Perhaps the one who had done these was already dead as well.

Vale sighed as he reached this thought…

"We're only here to gather a vessel or body that could help us. Sreas, do you think we can find that here?" Vale asked nonchalantly.

He wasn't expecting too much.

However, he was surprised at the reply of the Asura!

"I've heard about it before. This prison world aims to create Perfect Vessel for Celestials. One that could wield all types of magic, travel through space without being torn by the vacuum, and one that didn't need faith. I do not know what it means, but I have heard the Celestials talk about it before. They should've been developing numerous vessels for everyone at that time."

Everyone felt excited after hearing this! This was truly what they'd been looking for!

Unfortunately, this was all Sreas knew since he only heard the Celestials' random conversations when he was captured by them.

Nonetheless, this ignited everyone's desire to search for this Perfect Vessel!
