Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 553 The Next Challenge

A myriad of lights burst out of his palm and spread across the ceiling of the castle. It formed a dome of radiant colors that covered the entire hall.

It looked like a beautiful and majestic aurora!

"This is…"

"A Holy Arts Spell?"

"I've never seen anything like this before."

"It's beautiful…"

It was a sight to behold, and everyone in the castle couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the Spell.

Nevertheless, they knew really well that it was also a deadly weapon.

As the light of the aurora descended on the bats, enveloping them in its glow, they started screeching in pain…

It burned them, blinded them, and those at the furthest back were stunned and fell on the floor. Then, the next batch of the bats came.

However, the Aurora's Embrace wasn't just a single wave of Spell! As long as Clovis was supplying enough Divinity Points, the Celestial Art would not stop!

Screech!

The Celestial Art continued and destroyed the bats! It vaporized them and annihilated them. It left no trace of them, no corpse, no blood, no ash. It cleared the air of them, leaving only the light and the silence.

The Arcanists were stunned and amazed by what they saw. They looked at the remnants of aurora and the empty hall.

They looked at Clovis with mixed expressions as they wondered what kind of Spell he had used. They wondered what kind of power he was hiding.

After all, a person with this level of ability shouldn't be working as a hired Arcanist of the City! This man should be having a good life in the capital, where it was said to be the haven for Arcanists.

As soon as they confirmed that the threat was eliminated, Drake stepped forward and looked at Clovis angrily…

"Hey! Just who are you?! Why did you only use that Spell after some of us got injured? Aren't you looking down on us?" Drake shouted as he felt angry about what had happened.

The squad members that had their Special State ended were hurt by the bats that swarmed at them.

Of course, Clovis had an answer to this, but before he could say anything, the Arcanists on his side spoke for him.

"Aren't you having a bet with him and his squad? Why are you surprised?" Roy immediately said as he stepped in between the two.

"That's right… You should be thankful instead since he even helped your team." Leonel added as he did the same.

"Do you admit that you've lost? Then give the Spell Model to him…"

"Indeed. Besides, Clovis needs to prepare a ritual for that Spell… He can't just cast it instantaneously."

The other squad members also stepped in.

As soon as these words were said, Drake was unable to reply.

At this time, Clovis found an opportunity to speak.

"Sorry for the delay, everyone… That Spell consumes a lot of energy, so I must wait until all the bats come out before casting it." Clovis said as he looked at Drake with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Is that a Holy Art? Is it alright if I ask for the name of that Spell? If you're uncomfortable about it, you can ignore my question." Denise suddenly asked as she looked at Clovis.

Clovis thought for a moment since he couldn't reveal the name of the Celestial Art.

Finally, he decided to invent a name for it to pass as Holy Arts Spell.

"It's a Holy Art that I learned from a master of an unorthodox church. It's called Rainbow Blessing. It's a Spell that can create a beautiful and powerful light… It's a Spell that can bless you or curse you. However, please don't think I can cast it without paying the price… It can't always use the Spell to save you." He said, with a confident and playful tone.

Everyone glanced at each other, asking whether they heard such a Spell before. However, they all just shook their heads, confirming that it was the first time they had heard the Rainbow Blessing Spell.

Nevertheless, none of them questioned it. They all decided to accept his answer.

As for Drake, he only uttered a few words. "The subjugation isn't over yet... Once the owner of this place shows up, I'll handle it. The bet isn't over!"

"Ahem… Treat the injured right away!" Roland suddenly interjected to end this matter.

Everyone then quickly started to heal the injured. They took potions and pills to speed up their healing process while some of them stood guard to ensure they wouldn't be ambushed. After all, the subjugation of the castle hadn't ended yet.

After about 10 minutes had passed, everyone could reenter their Magic Zone again.

Clovis maintained his composure as he also examined the surroundings.

It was quite astonishing that the Vampire, or whoever owned the castle, let them recover instead of attacking them right away.

'Is he afraid of my Aurora's Embrace?' Clovis thought as he still couldn't sense the presence of the enemy.

'I should've created a Fusion Spell for detection.' He mused as he remembered how most of his Fusion Spells were offensive types.

'Should I fuse Spirit Vision, Divine Sense, and ESP Spells?'

To be honest, he was reluctant to fuse his Divine Sense to other spells since he really liked its Tracking Mark function. It would surely vanish once he fused it to other Spells.

In the end, he decided to stick to his plan and wait for another detection or investigative spell to use for a fusion.

"I'll just wait for the Eagle Eye Spell I suppose..." He murmured.

Soon, he heard Roland organizing the squads to go upstairs, where their scouts found some dubious rooms.

"Do not take anything inside the castle... They might be cursed or trapped! We can do the looting once we've slain the Vampire..." Roland cautioned, but as he said this, one of the members of the Ash Squad activated a trap after trying to take the illuminating orb!

Black gas started spewing out of the floor!
