Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-84

Lucius became very silent as he tried to recall the Dark Spells of his students…

Ghost Hands, Severe Ailment, Ghastly Ailment, Spirit Hand, Flesh Bane, Darkness Coil, Dark Mist, Dire Chains, Nightmare, and some support-type Dark Spells.

'None of them can destroy someone else's spirit… It means that the Creature's spirit should still be in a good condition… Perhaps it's still hiding here?' Lucius frowned as he entered his Phantasm State and scanned every part of the hall…

With the Magic Circle that can suppress the Creature, its Spirit shouldn't be capable of going out of this room unless it was taken by the Spirit World after the death of its possessed body.

He thought that it may have been hidden in the room so he can't summon it from the Spirit World. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case…

'Ugh… I can't even harvest its spirit… I really lost big time today.' Lucius can't understand why the Spirit is missing.

Since he has no answer to this, he can only take the corpse and bring it to the Necromancy Branch. They would certainly love this corpse and he might even get a large tip if he gave it to the right person in the Branch.

***

Vale had no idea about Lucius's problem and the effect of his extraction on the corpses.

He's currently on his way out of the infirmary after the nurses confirmed that he's already fine… After being notified that his friends would still need to rest, he left with Lisa to visit the Assembly Hall once more.

Since the class ended early, the two of them decided to just apply to the Club that they decided to join.

"Vale, do you have any suggestions about my first Spell Model?" Lisa suddenly asked while they were in the hallway leading to the Assembly Hall.

This question surprised Vale for a bit but he still answered sincerely.

"I think you should ask Professor Lucius for that… He's our Darkness Path Professor after all. You can also consider asking the mystical mirror that Professor Harrison brought to us. Furthermore, you have to practice entering your Phantasm State first and see the number of your Spell Lights."

"Ugh… I just want to hear your suggestion. I'll compare them with the others' suggestions so don't worry about being burdened." Lisa said as she can tell that Vale didn't want to be responsible if the Spell Model wasn't suited for her.

With her insistence, Vale considered for a moment before suggesting two of the basic Dark Spells but with great potential.

"The Ghost Hands is actually quite good… If you have a long duration of Phantasm State, they can be very helpful since they're like an extension of your arm. It's very convenient when picking up things or touching dirty stuff—I mean, things that you can't touch with your hands like a hot cauldron, poisonous substance, or some other things."

Vale explained.

"That makes sense… In that case, I can also consider Spirit Hands and Spectral Hands, right?"

"Yes. But they have a higher requirement. Furthermore, their Spell Model might be difficult to obtain since they're quite special."

"Ahhh… Is that so?" Lisa nodded as he recalled the Contribution Points Exchange Hall of the Academy. Perhaps, he would need a Contribution point to acquire these special Spell Models.

'I guess I'll go with the basic ones first…' Lisa thought as she can still recall that Vale's 'basic dark spell' was still the most impressive spell in the battle against the Evil Creature.

She can't help but think that Dark Spells' worth may not be seen in their tiers but in the talent of their casters.

"What's the second suggestion?" She asked.

"You can consider finding a support-type Dark Spell. Like the ones that can help you move faster. It's all up to you, you can also consider finding a good Curse Spell. That way, you have a killer move. If anyone bullies you, just get their hair and curse them once you returned to your room."

'Ahh…'

Lisa was stunned after hearing Vale's suggestion.

First of all, she had never thought of finding a movement spell. She hadn't even seen one for some reason. She thought that it was not popular or it was just difficult to learn. As for the Curse Spell that Vale suggested, she couldn't help but shiver at the thought of cursing someone after getting their hair.

After all, if she learned this spell, others can learn it too and she might be the receiver of the curse someday… Perhaps, she needed to learn about Curse Spells and learn how to break them.

"Now that you said it, I guess I should really behave here. I shouldn't offend anyone. Although there is a rule in the academy that prohibits you from using Curse on your fellow students, they might still do it subtly if they're determined."

Vale nodded at this since this was also what he initially planned.

"You're right… If you felt something off, immediately ask the Professors and have them cast All Curse Break on you. That's a strong Tier 2 Dark Spell. If you can't find a Professor with that spell, they'll help you form a Sacrificial Ritual to remove any curse."

"I'll keep it in mind… Thank you, Vale!" Lisa said with gratitude.

She couldn't help but look at him with admiration. He was already very strong and even comparable with the Student Representative but he wasn't arrogant in any way.

'Perhaps he's also worried that he might get cursed by someone so he has to act friendly at all times… Well, I guess that's not bad behavior.' Lisa mused as they entered the Assembly Hall.

Of course, Vale wasn't really worried about any Curse Spells coming at him with his current level of Spell Dispersion.

What he was worried about was his chances of extracting corpses might get lower and lower. The Monster extraction today might even be his last chance for the rest of the year.

Vale sighed at this as he checked his current attributes panel.
