"Oh! Are you sure about that, Carol? I think Dead Heart is still good… Ugh, whatever, it's up to you… What Curse Spell are you thinking of recording?" Ashe curiously asked.
Vale was also curious, so he listened attentively while observing the woman in front of him.
"Hehe, I'm thinking of recording the Vision Bane. The Dead Heart isn't that great anyway… It could work against 3rd and 2nd Class Arcanists, but it won't be easy to use against a First Class Arcanist. During our work, I noticed that our targets are just getting stronger and stronger. I've probably only used this Spell less than five times within five years." Carol replied as she sat beside Vale.
"That's true… However, Vision Bane? It requires 10 Spirit Strands and 6 Life Strands, right? That would be tough to record." Ashe commented.
"Yeah… You'll probably need a month or two to record that."
"I guess it would happen in another six months since you need to recover after Vale removed your Dead Heart Spell Model."
The others also agreed.
Carol knows this as well, but she already made up her mind.
"I'm ready now, Vale… I will trust you on this. Well, if you did something wrong or inappropriate, I'm sure my friends here will not make it easy for you."
Vale wryly smiled at these words, but he still nodded.
"Alright… I need to touch your hands while doing this." Vale said as he offered his hand.
"Hmm… That's fine. Is this going to be painful?"
"Not really… However, you will feel weakened. That's all." Vale replied. He could certainly weaken the intensity of his Spell Model Extraction so his target wouldn't feel pain.
However, he didn't bother doing it with others, so they would just pass out in pain in the process.
Carol heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Vale's words as she closed her eyes and waited for her fate.
At this time, Vale also focused on Carol. He confirmed the number of her Spell Lights and each of their location.
"Can you pour your Dark Energy into the Dead Heart Spell Model?" Vale asked. He needed to find the exact Spell Light.
After all, even though he knew that Carol had 9 Spell Lights according to his Divine Sense, he didn't know what spells were inside these Lights.
"Got it…" Carol replied as she guided her Dark Energy to her Dead Heart Spell Model.
Using his Spirit Vision, Vale was able to locate the Spell Model he needed to extract.
"Thank you. You can relax now. I'll start the Extraction." Vale said as he started doing his ritual.
He repeated his chant in his mind before he started his Extraction.
[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the Extraction? ]
"Yes… I will extract the Dead Heart Spell Model."
[ Extracting… ]
As soon as Vale saw this notification, he was momentarily shocked. After all, this is the first time he got a delay on his system's Extraction.
This had never happened before.
Nevertheless, he remained focused on his task as he kept his attention on the Dead Heart Spell Model.
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Dead Heart Spell Model ]
As soon as Vale saw the successful Extraction, Vale immediately let go of Carol's hands just in case the system continued extracting her.
The moment he did this, Carol slumped on the couch. She didn't just suffer from the sudden removal of the Spell Model but also the Energy that was taken from her.
Her friends immediately checked her condition as they prepared several bottles of medicine and Mystical Artifacts meant to help her recover faster.
This was actually quite effective as Carol woke up after three minutes, and her eyes were already filled with energy. Although she still looked weak, she still looked excited.
"How is it?"
"Are you still in pain?"
"Can you check your Spell Models? Perhaps Vale made a mistake…"
"Right… Now that you mention it, what do we do to him if he removed Carol's Shadow Soldier Spell or other important spells instead?"
"The answer is obvious. Of course, we'll skin him alive." Ashe answered.
The other girls whispered in their conversation, but Vale could obviously hear them since they were talking too close to him.
In the meantime, Carol had already entered her Phantasm State as she checked the Spell Lights in her body.
'Finally!'
Soon, she confirmed that she still had 9 Spell Lights, and one of them was already empty. She checked which spells remained and confirmed that her Dead Heart was missing!
She also confirmed that all her remaining Spell Models are in good condition and nothing was damaged in the removal process.
"You did it, Vale! Thank you! Right, how much was the fee for this? Ashe didn't tell us about it." Carol said in excitement. She wanted to pay for Vale's service immediately but didn't know if Vale was even looking for money.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm "It's alright… I already mentioned the payment to Ashe." Vale answered.
"What? That's it? Are you sure? You only requested to run an errand. It's not even worth 500 zen! Are you sure about it?" Vice Captain Ashe asked Vale since, now that she considered it, that price was too low for his service!
"Five hundred zen? That's too low! You shouldn't be shy about charging us for your service."
"That's right, don't lower the value of your service. Especially if it's this excellent!"
"Even if we're your friends, you should know how to separate business and relationship. You'd be taken advantage of by other people at this rate."
The girls thought the same, as they also didn't want to owe Vale too much. There were four of them who needed Vale's service, and they may not be sure how he was doing it, but it's certainly not as simple as it seems.
'This…'
Vale was a bit speechless as he even heard some genuine advice from them, making him flattered.
Of course, he was also feeling guilty since he was taking their Spell Models and Energy! They may find their Spell Models useless, but definitely not for him!
"Alright... Let's talk about the payment after I complete the job."
