Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-749

Lisa chucked after hearing the Arcanists below her. Certainly, Sage Merlin informed the City Lords that they would receive help from the gods once they followed his instructions but would be abandoned if they ignored his warnings.

Of course, with the help of the Arcane Bureau, which basically monitors the whole continent, Vale knew that the City Lords had followed their instructions and sent Lisa and Yvaine to assist them.

"Focus…" Lisa muttered to herself.

Her fangs gleamed in the moonlight, each vampiric strike was precise and lethal. Her claws, now extended and razor-sharp, sliced through demonic flesh as if it were mere parchment!

After clearing a large group of Demons in front, Lisa decided to speak.

"I am Lisa, a True Vampire, sent by the Sage to aid this city! Now, I will take the lead in front and kill the Demons! Join me!" She proclaimed, her voice echoing with newfound authority.

"We will follow you, Vampire!"

"Haha! A Vampire sent by the Sage! Of course, we'll follow!"

"Please, lead us to victory!"

The commanders, who were thinking of retreating, regained their courage to confront the enemies.

Although a single Arcanist may not heavily affect the battlefield, it was definitely different for a True Vampire!

Vampires had incredible regenerative abilities, and their tenacity was unmatched as long as they could consume blood.

As Lisa took charge, the Arcanists rallied behind her, their spells ready.

She raised her hands, and from the ground erupted a legion of crimson tendrils, the manifestation of her blood magic.

Indeed, the blood of Arcanists that was mixed with the blood of the demons was now under Lisa's control!

It was a perfect spell on a battlefield soaked with blood!

"Incredible…"

"All the blood is being controlled by the Vampire!"

"Follow her lead!"

"Hahaha! This is a lot easier now!" One of the Runecasters exclaimed as he saw the Vampire's spell in action.

These blood tendrils snaked through the battlefield, seeking demon flesh and pulling the vile creatures into the earth, leaving behind nothing but echoes of their demise.

Seeing such an effective way of eliminating the Demons, many of them couldn't help but glance at the beautiful Vampire!

"Is this really it?" Lisa muttered as she ignored the gazes cast on her.

Lisa's eyes, glowing with a preternatural luminescence, scanned the battlefield as she continued with her spells.

She chanted in the ancient tongue of vampires.

The words were a melody of darkness, each syllable a note in the symphony of war.

With the final words of the ritual, she unleashed the Vampiric Maelstrom, a whirlwind of sanguine energy that drained the demons of their vitality, transferring their life force to her body, healing her injuries, and bolstering her strength.

Thanks to Lisa's initiative, the other Arcanists had enough time to recover and used various spells, and potions to increase strength and heal their injuries.

The Magic Knights, infused with new stamina, formed the vanguard, their blades now coated in a rime of frost and flame.

Elementalists summoned torrents of elemental burst, their spells amplified by the elemental talismans they triggered.

Shamans, also gathered enough Mystical Energy and called forth a host of spectral warriors that filled up the sky!

Runecasters etched runes of power into the very stones of the city, creating a network of explosive traps that detonated with every demon step!

'Not bad…' Lisa nodded thoughtfully after seeing how the Arcanists coordinated their attacks with her actions.

Lisa continued with her onslaught. Her form was like a blur shadow under the moonlight. She darted through the demon ranks.

Her claws extended and eliminated the demons in front of her. She was a reaper in the night, her strikes so swift and precise that demons fell before they could even scream!

With the blood of the Demons replenishing her energy, she continued to summon more of her familiars, bats, and wolves that obeyed her every command, adding tooth and claw to the city's defense!

The battle raged on... Lisa's presence on the front lines was a whirlwind of destruction. Her vampiric spells continued to stop the powerful demons' advance!

Together with the Arcanists in the city, they pushed the demons back, reclaiming the night one inch at a time.

However, as Lisa thought that the battle was about to end, something unexpected happened.

***

The city, bathed in the blood of demons and its defenders, stood on the brink of salvation.

Lisa was able to eliminate more than half of the Demons all alone!

It sounded quite exaggerated for a lone Vampire to do so much, but this was all because Lisa was not a normal True Vampire either… She received Vale, the Shadow Immortal's blood, almost everyday!

It was a blood containing Divinity!

At first, Lisa would have difficulty consuming such a powerful blood, and she felt burning whenever she did it.

However, as she slowly consumed Vale's blood everyday, She built up immunity, or perhaps, her body adapted to Divinity and transformed her body even more!

Thanks to that, Lisa had become a lot stronger!

Finally, over the past year, she was able to train with the Immortals that Vale had woken up!

These Immortals had incredible combat abilities and she learned a lot from them!

With all of these combined, it wasn't surprising for Lisa to be on top of this battle!

The Arcanists, bolstered by her might, fought with fervor as their magic illuminatedthe night with flashes of arcane spells…

"Hmm?" Lisa frowned as she sensed something off.

The air grew cold… It was unnoticeable to many but not to her…

As she continued massacring the demons, she finally realized what was going on.

Soon, a shadow fell outside the city in front of the Demon horde close to Lisa.

Boom~

From the swirling chaos of the demon horde emerged a figure of towering malevolence—it was a Demon Saint.

He assumed his body into the form or size of a human. However, there were still plenty of his features that were completely demon-like.

His skin was filled eerie darkness, etched with runes that pulsed with corrupt power.

His eyes, devoid of light, threatened to swallow hope whole.

He also wore a bone crown that Lisa suspected to be Dimensional Creatures after Vale warned her before.

This Demon Saint's presence alone caused the bravest of the Arcanists behind her to falter.

In just a few moments, a hidden member of the Arcane Bureau sent a message to her through telepathy.

"That's Kougar, the 24th Demon Saint."

Lisa didn't reply as she took a deep breath.

'I knew it wouldn't be this easy.' Lisa thought with a helpless smile on her face.

Nonetheless, she was actually unafraid.

She was undaunted by the Demon Saint's fearsome visage and stepped forward.

"You shall not pass…" She declared, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.

"Hahahaha!"

The Demon Saint laughed, a sound that was both a promise and a curse.

"Foolish Vampire, do you not know whom you face? I am the harbinger of your end, the architect of corruption, Saint Kougar! I know you've reached your limit!"

With a gesture, the Demon Saint unleashed hisCorrupted Divinity, a miasma of decay that sought to taint all it touched.

Lisa felt the corruption clawing at her, threatening to overwhelm her vampiric nature.

"Tsk…"

Lisa frowned as she wasn't sure if she could endure this…

She then called out to Yvaine, the Dark Spirit who had remained hidden until now.

"Yvaine, I need you!"

From the shadows, Yvaine emerged, her form a wisp of darkness.

"I am here, Lisa. I've never fought against a Demon Saint, so let's work together."

"Yes!"

Lisa and Yvaine fought back-to-back, their powers intertwined. Lisa's blood magic clashed with the Demon Saint's corruption, her spells weaving a protective shroud around them.

Yvaine, her spirit form flickering, struck at the Demon Saint with tendrils of pure shadow…

"Is that all?" Kougar laughed as he already knew that he could win this. Although he didn't expect a Dark Spirit's appearance, it wasn't a threatening reinforcement that he should worry about.

Indeed, Lisa and Yvaines were outmatched.

The Demon Saint's power was immense, his corruption seeping into the very stones of the city, wilting the life from them.

It was then that Lisa completed her preparation.

Shiiing~

She pulled out a weapon. It was Magic Artifact that Vale, the Shadow Immortal, had entrusted to her—a weapon he named himselfEclipse Scythe.

Its blade was a sliver of darkness, forged from the essence of Vale's own Shadow Divinity.

With a flick of her finger, numerous bats gathered around her but they didn't last long. Ass soon as the bats dispersed, there was a weapon in her hands.

With the Eclipse Scythe in hand, Lisa fought back!

The scythe hummed with the power of the Shadow Divinity, cutting through the corruption as if it were but mist.

However, it didn't end there…

Soon, Yvaine took out a glowing talisman from the shadows!

It was one of the Divine Talismans made from Vale's blood!
