Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 492 Dual Arts Practitioner

The sudden appearance of the Skeleton Knights was surprisingly appreciated by many onlookers. Some of them started gathering around the plaza to look at the Skeleton Knights.

They became more interested in the battle instead of fleeing away from the scene!

"A moving skeleton! Father, look!"

"Don't look at them in their eyes."

"Whoa~ I didn't expect him to be a necromancer. He looks handsome..."

"I think Dark Arts isn't that awful. I also want to be capable of summoning such creatures."

"You'd probably die if you tried entering their academy. Don't waste your life."

"But still, those Skeleton Knights look really strong. I heard only Second Class Necromancers could summon them."

"I think we should step back. It's getting colder here."

Vale heard all of their carefree comments, but he had no time to mind them as he felt that his opponent was slowly getting stronger.

With a wave of his hand, he directed the Skeleton Knights to join the fray. Together with the Ghost Hands, they fought against the mysterious undead.

As the knights moved, the ground beneath their skeletal hooves trembled. They charged toward the mysterious humanoid creature, followed by an aura of death..

At this point, some of the police officers had finally arrived and arranged a few Formation Nodes to protect the normal people from the aura of death. After all, non-practitioners would be harmed by such an energy. They might not die, but they would be incapacitated if they get exposed for a prolonged period.

"Gahaha! Give me more of them!" The mysterious humanoid creature suddenly exclaimed as if he was waiting for Vale to do this. Then, he bravely charged towards the Skeleton Knights while also tracking the movements of the Ghost Hands!

Clang! Clang!

The clash of steel rang out through the plaza as the Skeleton Knights engaged with the steel-like body of their enemy. The Skeleton Knights' movements were swift, but to everyone's surprise, the creature wasn't being harmed by the swords of the Skeleton Knights!

He even used his steel-like arms to block the swords!

"Something's off…" Vale frowned as he immediately used his Spirit Vision. He couldn't understand why this creature was getting stronger at such an incredible speed.

After some time, he finally noticed something.

'What's that?' Vale was a bit confused as he found a few threads of Arcane Energy connected to the creature!

Vale then allowed the Skeleton Knights to hold back the enemy as he continued tracing the sources of Arcane Energy Threads.

The Skeleton Knights fought with incredible strength and speed, but they didn't have a decent fighting style.

They mostly rely on their brute force and the aura of darkness that was fueling them. Their swords slashed through the air, leaving trails of faint black flames in their wake.

The creature's defenses were put to the test as the Skeleton Knights launched coordinated attacks, their skeletal steeds galloping with fierce strength.

Boom!

Once again, the mysterious creature managed to devour the Ghost Hand, assisting the Skeleton Knights. Vale then promptly canceled the remaining Ghost Hand and let the Skeleton Knights deal with the enemy.

He was too focused on following the threads connected to this creature.

As the battle raged on, each swing of Skeleton Knight's sword was getting less and less effective against the enemy.

The plaza became a battleground, the sounds of combat echoing through the surrounding buildings.

However, Vale's focus finally paid off, and he found the source of the threads of Arcane Energy! He wasn't sure about its purpose, but it was connected to a group of hooded figures that was about 340 meters away from them!

'So far?! Can their Magic Zone reach this distance as well?' Vale was shocked as he could tell that his limit was only 400 meters.

It was very surprising that they were able to do this.

After calming down, Vale carefully observed the group and realized that they were capable of blocking his Divine Sense and Spirit Vision. He couldn't identify them or their Arcane Path.

It was probably related to their Mystical Item or Formation Art that was hiding their presence.

Nevertheless, he realized that the thread was actually providing power to the mysterious creature! He had to do something about them. However, if he defeated the creature now, those hooded figures might escape, and they would go unpunished. Vale didn't like that.

As he was considering his next move, a voice resonated in his mind.

"Clovis, I can tell that your enemy right now is a Failed Vessel. Did you offend someone in the Dark Arts Faction?"

It was a beautiful voice, and Vale recognized her immediately. It definitely belonged to Teresa!

Vale was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected communication, but he swiftly gathered his composure and responded using his own telepathic abilities.

"Failed Vessel? What's that? And I'm not Clovis, Miss Teresa." Vale promptly replied while thinking about the Failed Vessel. He wasn't sure, but he immediately connected it to the existence of Evanescent Vessel.

"Anyway, I may have unintentionally offended a couple of individuals from the Dark Arts Faction. But regardless, why aren't you and your allies lending a hand?" He asked.

Teresa didn't immediately answer… She took a few moments to observe the battle of the Skeleton Knights against the Failed Vessel before replying.

"That creature is cursed and a powerful one at that. If we intervene carelessly, we risk falling victim to the curse as well. Furthermore, its sole target is you. If you were to perish here, the Failed Vessel would move on and leave the city."

"What?!" Vale blurted out incredulously, "So, you're just going to let me die here?"

He couldn't understand why the Untainted Sentinels of the Holy Arts Faction couldn't simply purify the curse! Are they too weak against a Failed Vessel's curse?!

Sensing Vale's anger and confusion, Teresa quickly reassured him. "Don't worry, I won't allow you to die. I'll come to your aid if you're in grave danger. However, there are other factors preventing our direct involvement. I'm only revealing this to you because I know you're Clovis, and you possess abilities in both Holy and Dark Arts."

Vale's anger flared further, and he snapped back. "What? Are you out of your mind? How could I possibly possess Holy Arts abilities?"

Deep down, though, he felt a sense of nervousness creeping in.
