Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-442

'What in the world is that?' Vale gasped, genuinely shocked after seeing the Evil Entity so close to him. He was quite lucky since two or three more Barrier Formations were still active and protected his area.

He was even ready to fly away from this place with his Shapeshift and Levitation…

Roar!

The Evil Entity roared as if to announce its presence to the world.

Its form was a twisted amalgamation of darkness and malevolence. It radiated an aura of pure maleficence, casting a suffocating shadow over the once vibrant coliseum.

Its figure was shrouded in an inky blackness, its shape constantly shifting and writhing like a living nightmare. Sinister tendrils of energy extended from its core, crackling with dark power and reaching out with an insatiable hunger.

Glowing red eyes glared with an intensity that sent chills down the spines of all who dared to meet its gaze. Its presence was an embodiment of chaos, a harbinger of destruction, and an undeniable force to be reckoned with.

"Vale… Escape! Don't use your Dark Spells in front of that creature, or you'll be targeted! Let the others deal with that thing! Move!" Suddenly, Headmaster Jean's voice echoed inside his head.

Vale gulped as he thanked the Headmaster for his warning.

"I'll escape now, Headmaster…" Vale replied as he surveyed the surroundings.

As chaos erupted with the appearance of the malevolent Evil Entity, he noticed that panic spread among the guards, students, low-rank arcanists, and other onlookers.

Nevertheless, the high-rank Arcanists swiftly sprang into action, attempting to establish a perimeter to protect the spectators from the encroaching danger. The Professors also joined forces to analyze the nature of the Entity and devise a plan to counter its menacing presence.

While some audience members fled in fear, many remained rooted to their spots, their curiosity and concern outweighing their instinct to escape.

It didn't take that long before the building's powerful enchantments and barriers flickered, strained by the immense power of the Evil Entity.

It would soon collapse, and it wouldn't take long before the coliseum collapses.

The Priest, Holy Knights, and Shamans began channeling their Spells, attempting to weaken and repel the Entity.

Brilliant spells and protective wards illuminated the battlefield, creating a barrier of defense against the encroaching darkness.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, Iris and Geraldine slowly regained their senses as a couple of medical practitioners healed them...

They were both shocked at the sight of the Evil Entity that they'd only seen in the books before.

"Can you move?" One of the medical practitioners asked.

"Yes… I can still access my Spell Lights. There's no problem moving." Geraldine answered as she picked herself up.

It was the same for Iris, who just used a Runic Symbol on her body, and she immediately sprang up.

This was good news for the medical practitioners as they immediately led the injured students to leave the place.

However, Geraldine didn't immediately follow as she glanced at the Evil Entity once again. As someone aiming to be part of the Order of the Faith Guardians, she had trained a lot with her detection ability.

She wanted to see if she could find the weakness of the Evil Entity, but instead of finding that out, she noticed a figure sneaking around the Evil Entity… The figure seemed to be investigating the source or the Sacrificial Materials used to summon the Entity.

It was too dangerous, and if the Entity noticed the figure, that would be a certain death.

'W-wait… That small figure looks like a student… What's going on?' Geraldine was shocked that a student was doing something so dangerous.

She got curious about the person's identity and wanted to pierce through their stealth ability. However, as she was planning to cast a vision spell on her eyes, she was held by the Medical Practitioners and carried away from the place.

"Ahh… Wait…"

It seemed that they thought that she was frightened and was frozen at the sight of the Evil Entity. They didn't even stop after hearing her protests as they left the coliseum.

***

As soon as the barrier was broken, the Priests, Holy Knights, Shamans, and other arcanists valiantly battled the Evil Entity…

However, while this all happening, a figure with a very weak presence arrives at the foot or the source of the Evil Entity.

It was Vale Chambers.

Utilizing his ESP Spell, he concealed his presence, determined to find a way to safely touch the creature…

As he got nearer, the air thickened with the stench of corruption. Vale knew he had to protect himself from the Entity's malevolent influence, so he had to use the Arcane Armor…

It was certainly dangerous to use a Mystic Art while wearing his uniform, but he believed that everyone would be busy fighting the Entity, and his ESP spell should be enough to hide his presence.

With caution and resilience, Vale navigated through the chaos. His ESP Spell was working overtime to avoid detection. It wasn't just for the other Arcanists but also for the Evil Entity.

He knew that a direct confrontation could prove fatal, so he relied on his strategic abilities to find the opportune moment.

"Now…"

The Evil Entity's attention was fixed on the courageous fighters, giving Vale a small window of opportunity to get really close to the creature.

Using his Lightspeed Spell, Vale braved the noxious aura and quickly approached the Entity.

It wasn't over yet… The challenge was great since he couldn't rely on his Ghost Hands and Spectral Hands for his Extraction, as they would draw the attention of the Evil Entity, according to Headmaster Jean.

With nerves of steel, Vale waited for the perfect moment, his heart pounding in his chest.

'I can't touch the main body…' Vale muttered as he looked at the dark tendrils of the Entity instead.

When the creature was momentarily distracted by the relentless assault of the Arcanists, Vale seized another opportunity.

He reached out and grasped one of the writhing dark tendrils of the Evil Entity.
