Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-678

Pearl was astonished by what Faith had displayed just then…

Faith had surely used a Space Technique or even a Temporal Technique! It was something she believed that she couldn't achieve even after living for more than a century.

However, they had no time to spare. They had to slay the two Demon Saints who had intruded their territory!

"You're not getting away!" Faith shouted as she placed Denise down.

Pearl and Faith chased after the two Demon Saints, who had fled from the castle after being discovered.

They used their Light and Earth Techniques, respectively, to attack them from a distance. They hoped to catch them and kill them before they could escape.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Demihumans! We will return to this place! Remember us! I'm Zane the 13th Saint of Behemoth's Pillar"

"I'm Zara, the 14th Saint of Behemoth's Pillar!"

The two Demon Saints introduced themselves as they fled from the scene.

These two Demons were actually siblings who had been sent by the Demon Lord to scout the castle's defenses and find any weaknesses.

Thanks to the recent reports they've received, they found traces of the mysterious Immortal and learned that he was living in this place.

They were simply testing the strength of the castle's barrier, and they shouldn't have been fighting in the first place.

Now that they had an initial evaluation of the people living in this castle, they had no intention of staying here any longer.

They only wanted to get away and report their findings.

Zane and Zara used their Demonic Arts, respectively, to evade and defend from Pearl and Faith's attacks.

They ran as fast as they could, trying to lose their pursuers.

They didn't want to lead their pursuers to one of their gates after all.

The gate to the Abyss was just new. It was only created about fifteen days ago, and they used it to enter the human world.

"Mhmm… Those two people are incredibly strong even if they're not True Immortal." Zane muttered gravely as she realized that they were being affected by their Corrupted Divinity and that they were exuding strength that surpassed Demon Saints of a lower level.

"I can feel traces of Divinity from both of them… The blue-haired one is probably a Half-Immortal, while the blonde one is wielding an artifact with strong Divinity." Zara added as she also confirmed their strength.

Since they were still restricted by the Will of the Human Realm, they could only use half of their strength. There was no way they'd be confident facing these two.

They knew that they were no match for Pearl and Faith at this time.

"You won't escape!"

Pearl and Faith were relentless and furious.

They didn't plan to let the Demon Saints get away easily.

They increased their burst of power, aiming to catch them off guard.

Pearl summoned her Earth Spirit and gave it a command, creating a massive earthquake that shook the ground and cracked the rocks.

Faith, on the other hand, used an extremely powerful Water Spell, creating a huge tsunami that flooded the land and swept away everything!

They aimed their attacks at Zane and Zara, hoping to crush them.

Zane and Zara were terrified and desperate.

"This…"

They felt the earthquake and the tsunami approaching them, and they knew that they had little chance of survival.

They tried to resist and escape, but suddenly, Faith's golden pocketwatch glowed once again, eating her life force.

A huge chunk of her life force was gone!

However, it made the two Demon Saints move too slow!

They felt heavy in their bodies as they couldn't understand why the tsunami was closing at them while they could barely release their energy!

Soon, the earth and the water started engulfing them, and they knew that it would end their lives if they didn't put up a proper defense!

They looked at each other and felt helpless…

They finally realized that they were dealing with someone who was capable of manipulating time!

There was simply no hope!

'We need someone to send this message to the Demon Lord!' Zane thought as she was ready to sacrifice her life to save her sister.

She wanted to use a Forbidden Spell that would not allow her soul to reincarnate to the Abyss Realm.

"Zane… You--- "Zara realized what Zane was about to do.

Although they are Demon Saints and had a chance of reincarnation to the Abyss Realm, it would only happen in the tens or even hundreds of years.

However, if she used a Forbidden Spell, she wouldn't have a chance of returning at all!

She wanted to stop her immediatey but at the last moment, they felt a sudden pull and a flash of light!

They opened their eyes, and saw that they were in a different place. They were already in the Abyss Realm, near the gate that they had used.

"What?!"

They had been saved by a mysterious force, and they had escaped from the human world.

They looked at each other, and felt a surge of relief and joy.

They had survived the attack, and they had escaped from the two nasty Arcanists of that dreadful castle.

"We made it… We're alive. We're safe."

"It must have been the Demon Lord who intervened and saved us!"

It was the only explanation they could think of.

In a moment of overwhelming relief, they embraced each other, offering fervent gratitude to the Demon Lord for his unexpected mercy.

Upon inspecting their bodies, they discovered minor injuries that could be swiftly mended with the aid of their Corrupted Divinity.

Despite their physical discomfort, their primary focus was on relaying the crucial information they had gathered regarding the castle's defenses and the Immortal's allies.

"We must urgently relay this to the Demon Lord. He needs to know what we've witnessed and discovered..." Zane declared firmly.

With no time to spare, they swiftly activated their communication devices and reached out to the Demon Lord, eager to convey the valuable intelligence they had acquired.
