Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-711

The Dimensional Creature's body was covered with scales and spikes that seemed as hard as the toughest steel and as sharp as blades.

Its tail was long and lethal, tipped with a spike that could pierce through layers of armor and flesh. Its head was horned and fearsome, with a mouth full of jagged fangs that could tear apart anything in its path.

"What in the world?! How is that Creature here already?!"

"This is bad! This Creature had never lurked around the entrance before!"

"We must return immediately! The entrance may close, but we can still open it someday!"

"Master Steins! We have to go!"

"Sir Immortal! It probably sensed your presence and had gone mad! We need to be careful!" Steins said as he could only guess that Vale's presence itself had attracted the Dimensional Creature!

It wasn't that difficult to connect the clues after all!

"Mhmmm… This Creature does indeed look strong. No wonder many of you died from it." Vale commented as he thoroughly inspected the Creature while it was destroying everything in its path to arrive at their area.

"Sir, wanted to help you, but we just arrived! Our Spell Models haven't adjusted in this realm yet! We have no way of supporting you." Steins immediately said after realizing that Vale didn't look worried at the Dimensional Creature's appearance.

"I understand… Just do your best to protect yourselves." Vale said as he took a deep breath. He was getting ready to fight against the mysterious Creature.

Screech~

The Dimensional Creature didn't roar loudly, but it created a screeching noise that seemed to attack their very soul!

Luckily, Steins and the others had prepared for such an attack as their amulets took effect. As for Vale, his soul was already strong enough to ignore this preemptive attack from the Creature.

As the Dimensional Creature charged at them and started getting too close, the Arcanists prepared to fight back… Not with their Arcane Spells, but with their Magic Artifacts…

They had Talismans, Amulets, and other trinkets that would support them, and they also raised their weapons, ready to unleash their close combat skills.

Although their Spell Models hadn't adjusted yet, their Arcane Energy could still be used to trigger their Artifacts.

However, they soon realized that even triggering their Artifacts' abilities was difficult!

'Is it because of the noise this Creature made just now? That's an interesting ability… I thought it only messed up the energy flow to stop the Arcanists from using spells. It actually disrupted Magic Artifacts' energy as well…' Vale mused as he analyzed what had just happened.

Nonetheless, before Vale could act, a few of the Arcanists were still somehow able to launch some of their spells.

They all came from the Talismans they were carrying!

It was quite an interesting bit of information as it showed that Talismans were actually built quite different.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

As Vale watched the spells hit the Dimensional Creature, he realized why it was a menace against Arcanists.

The Dimensional Creature appeared to be immune to any type of spell. As soon as the Spells landed, it was as if they were nothing but sparks and smoke.

'No… It's not like that… This Dimensional Creature isn't immune at all. The Creature itself is resisting the presence of Spells. The Arcane Spells were distorted and dissipated and unable to affect the Creature…' Vale mused as he witnessed how the Dimensional Creature appear immune to spells, but it was simply using a method that was quite similar to his Spell Dispersion!

However, the only difference was that his Spell Dispersion needed to be cast, but the Dimensional Creature needed not.

"Tsk… This is just impossible." Steins muttered as he confirmed that there was really nothing they could do for now. He was already thinking of retreating, but because the Immortal was still planning to stay, he could only pray that it wouldn't be too late if Vale failed to win against the Creature.

"Master Steins…"

"We should move now…"

The Arcanists behind him were obviously shocked and terrified, realizing that they had no way to defend themselves.

"Just shut up and wait for the Immortal's instructions." Steins said as he waited for the clash to happen.

The others also looked at Vale, hoping that he could save them.

They knew that he was different from them, that he had powers that they could not comprehend. They knew that he was an Immortal and that he could use Divinity and Celestial Arts.

'Fine… My observation is done…'

Vale saw the fear and desperation in their eyes, and he knew that he should give them some assurance or they might really flee or do something stupid..

Since Arcane Spells doesn't work, he had to use something.

That would be his Divinity and Celestial Arts.

He already confirmed that these two could work really well in this realm.

As Vale stepped forward and faced the Creature, he removed his mask and revealed his face.

"Come…" Vale said as he confidently smiled.

The mask may give him amazing effects in the Human Realm but it was only restraining a bit of his Divinity in the Celestial Realm.

Right now, he wanted to ensure that he would be at his full strength.

"Let's see how you deal with this…"

Vale muttered as he activated his Divinity, and unleashed his Celestial Arts.

First, he summoned a bolt of Divine Lightning and hurled it at the Creature.

Boom!

The lightning struck the Creature and caused it to roar in pain. However, the lightning's strength was already halved when it hit the Dimensional Creature!

Obviously, it wasn't enough to make the Creature bleed!

He did it once again…

Boom!

The lightning lit up the sky and revealed the cracks and fissures that were spreading across the realm. This time, the Dimensional Creature was prepared and was able to cast a strange technique that the destroyed the path of the lightning!

It wasn't hit at all!

'So it can learn so quickly… It saw one of my spells and already learned how to deal with it. This Creature is scary!' Vale commented in his mind.

He couldn't help but feel impressed!

'I need to extract this Dimensional Creature… No, maybe I should try enslaving it first…' Vale mused.

He then used his natural ability to control Shadows to continue his fight.

He knew that he had to weaken the Dimensional Creature if he wanted to enslave it. He had to weaken its mind or make it vulnerable!

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

Vale then created a swarm of shadow blades through his Shadow Manipulation and sent them flying at the Creature!

Of course, it was filled with Divinity, and every shadow blade could equal a Tier 3 Piercing Spell!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As expected, the blades sliced through its scales and spikes.

Screeechhh~~

As the Creature bled from its wounds and staggered in its movements, it released another screeching noise, hoping that it would stop Vale from his attacks!

However, this time, the screeching included a clear destructive energy that the Dimensional Creature used to stop his Divine Lightning for a while.

It was completely different from the Corruption Energy of the Demon Saints!

Then, the Dimensional Creature started charging and in a blink of an eye, it was already in front of Vale!

'Interesting…' Vale mused as he realized that the energy was indeed quite new.

"That's not going to work!" Vale shouted as he cast the Aurora's Embrace, and wrapped himself in a cloak of rainbow light.

Before, he would just release this Celestial Art and hope to hit his target and kill it.

But after becoming an Immortal, his understanding with his Celestial Spell Models increased as well.

As soon as he gathered the Aurora's Energy, he accepted it in his body, and it increased his speed and agility, and dodged the Creature's attacks.

Boom!

Vale's previous spots was destroyed and the Arcanists were thrown away by the sheer force it had released.

Nonetheless, Vale's True Sight was already activated.

True Sight could be considered a Dragon Spell and it was different from other Spell Models.

After it was activated, his senses and perception were enhanced, and he analyzed the Creature's weaknesses.

"It doesn't have one…" Vale wryly smiled after realizing this.

Nonetheless, Vale finally decided to use the Celestial Arts he had obtained from the Immortals and even the Demon Saints!

"Try this!"

Vale said as he invoked Meteor Summon, a spell he extracted from an Immortal!

Indeed, he called forth a massive meteor from the sky and it was directed towards the terrifying DimensionalCreature.

Vale didn't stop from that as he used his Shadow Manipulation to bind the Creature for a second!

It was enough to smash it with a devastating force coming from his Meteor!

Boom!

The Creature was crushed by the impact, and buried under the rubble.

Whoosh~

Of course, the Meteor also caused a shockwave and shook the ground!

"Ahhh…"

Even Vale paused for a moment as he realized that he might be the cause of the destruction of this Remnant Realm!
