Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-591

"Magnus, tell me which Immortal can be discarded. I want to test something." Vale said as he looked at the tombs.

Magnus hesitated momentarily, recognizing the significance of each Immortal corpse.

He considered all of them as equally important. None of them could be discarded.

However, he acknowledged his Master's need for a specific corpse, so he had no other choice but to follow.

Eventually, Magnus gestured towards the first coffin he opened.

Currently, there are 12 open coffins containing six Demon Saints and six Immortals, leading Magnus to believe that his research could still progress even if the initial Immortal Corpse was lost.

"I have already extracted a substantial amount of essence from this corpse. You may utilize this one, Master." Magnus stated.

"Very well... And what about the Demon Saint?" Vale inquired.

"You may select the one adjacent to it, Master…" Magnus replied, evidently anticipating the request. Vale smiled at this as he proceeded to approach the corpse.

The Immortal Corpse, lying in the coffin, appeared remarkably human, yet its features exuded an almost ethereal perfection. The skin had an otherworldly luminescence, and the body seemed to emanate an aura of timelessness and serenity.

This corpse seemed a lot better than the ones he extracted from Headmaster Jean's collection. Well, the difference was probably related to the way they are being kept.

Although the modern underground basement seemed incredibly safe to keep the corpses, they didn't have this mausoleum's special coffins. The ones in Headmaster Jean's basement were simply special stones engraved with Formation Circles and Runic Symbols.

As for the coffins, he couldn't even properly investigate them with the help of his Dragon's True Sight.

He could only imagine that this was an otherworldly item.

Vale then took a deep breath as he extended his hands to touch the forehead of the Immortal.

"Master, be careful. They're protected by an unknown force. Anyone will be repelled once you—" Magnus acted like a real and loyal slave as he tried to warn Vale about the dangers of casually handling. It was actually Headmaster Jean's concern as well during that time in the basement.

However, Magnus didn't finish his sentence when he saw Vale casually touching the corpse's forehead without any form of resistance!

Magnus could only shut his mouth and allow his master to take care of his matter.

In the meantime, Vale was already grinning after seeing the result of his Extraction.

[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Do you wish to extract it? ]

"Yes…"

[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +7, Vitality +0.8 ]

The amount of Divinity was definitely extraordinary. After all, he only obtained 1.5 Divinity Points before.

Since there are six more Celestial Corpse, then it means that he'll get about 42 Divinity Points! That was already quite a lot!

Furthermore, these corpses replenish their Divinity, unlike him, who could only rely on Extraction!

'Ahh…'

As Vale reached this thought, he suddenly paused as he recalled Magnus' words about the Immortal's Essence, which differed from the Divinity.

He couldn't help but think that it was the one he was missing to be able to produce his own Divinity!

'I should let him continue with his research about this immortality.' Vale mused as he shifted his attention to the Demon Saint.

He was quite curious about what kind of energy or attribute he'd get from them.

The Demon Saint's Corpse, lying in the adjacent coffin, presented a haunting sight. Its face was contorted into a perpetual snarl, with twisted horns protruding from its forehead, reminiscent of a malevolent crown. The skin appeared ashen and coarse, exuding an eerie, dark luminescence.

The body emanated an aura of otherworldly power and sinister charisma, a testament to the formidable being it once embodied.

"This the real form of the Demon Saints, Master Vale. However, do not be surprised if you encounter one someday in a human skin." Magnus reminded.

"So you've seen them in another form?"

"No, Master. However, my informant, who had come from another realm, would always warn me about them."

"I'll keep it in mind..." Vale said as he proceeded to touch the Demon Saint.

This time, Magnus was no longer surprised when Vale wasn't rejected by the corpse's malevolent energy.

[ Demon corpse has been discovered. Do you wish to extract it? ]

"Yes…"

[ Extraction Successful. Corrupted Divinity +7, Vitality +0.8, Complete Evolved Spell Light ]

"Whoa…"

Vale was stunned as soon as he saw the result of the Extraction.

He wasn't too bothered that he got a Corrupted Divinity.

After all, he was already happy to see that he got an Evolved Spell Light!

Currently, he has four extra Spell Lights with him. If he got four more extract Spell Lights, he planned to fuse them again to get another golden or Evolved Spell Light, even if he had to spend Divinity Points to complete that fusion.

However, this Extraction was a blessing to him!

He wanted to just extract all of them right now! But before that, he had to ask Magnus.

"Hey, what do you think about these two corpses? I did something on them, and I want to make sure that they're still usable for your research." Vale asked.

Magnus immediately understood his Master's concern, so he quickly went to check the corpses.

"I can't feel their Divinity, Master… However, the mystical essence they have still remains. It means that I can still continue with my research. As for the Demon Saint, I believe that there won't be any problems. As long as they remain in their coffin, they will slowly recover their evil power." Magnus replied.

Vale grinned after hearing this answer.

Although he already knew that his Extraction wouldn't 'damage' the corpse and they would still produce Divinity, it was still better to hear it from the expert.

"Then, I'll be repeating the process to all the remaining corpses here…" Vale said.

"I understand, Master."

With that said, Vale decided to start with the Demon Saints.

He wanted to see whether he could extract more Evolved Spell Lights!

[ Demon corpse has been discovered. Do you wish to extract it? ]

"Yes…"

[ Extraction Successful. Corrupted Divinity +7, Vitality +0.8, Complete Evolved Spell Light ]

Luckily, he was not disappointed!
