Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-841

They just learned that the three Talents were lost in the void. Even if someone had them, it was too suspicious that the Talents were actually inside this prison!

Vale simply frowned at this as he also wasn't sure why they were called Saviors immediately. He may not even decide to free these people. Everything seemed to confusing.

Nonetheless, he decided to listen first.

Felicia paused, her tail flicking in a gesture of contemplation before continuing…

"We will tell you more about the talents you were all searching, but we are also seeking the Golden Key not out of greed or malice, but out of necessity. We want it in exchange for the information related to the Talents…"

Vale finally nodded after hearing this. It wouldn't be too suspicious if they were indeed planning to trade such information for the Golden Key. It made sense.

However, Vale shook his head.

"We also need the Golden Key to safely wander in this Realm… Giving it to you is impossible." He replied. It wasn't negotiable at all.

However, Felicia seemed to have expected this as well. She probably knew the importance of the Golden Key to them. She simply sighed and shook her head before her eyes turned cold and she looked at the group.

"We have been waiting for that Golden for a very long time, and now that it has appeared, we will not let it pass. You probably noticed that you can't escape using the Key as well. We don't want to spill blood if possible, so please consider it again. You can request anything in exchange for the Key, and as long as we can provide it, we will do so." Felicia said as if she didn't really want to battle.

However, Vale could tell that their strength wasn't that great and Felicia knew this really well. After all, if they were stronger, they would surely just snatch the Golden Key from them. There would be no need for such dialogues.

"It's impossible… Even if you use force, we will not concede. We'll find a way to destroy whatever is stopping us from leaving this place." Vale replied.

This reply obviously infuriated the Catwoman…

After hearing Vale's refusal to hand over the Golden Key, Felicia's eyes darkened, as she realized that persuasion had failed, leaving her with no choice but to resort to force to achieve her goal.

With a heavy heart and a solemn nod, she gave the order to the Beastfolks that had been waiting for her orders all this time. "Attack!" Felicia's voice rang out, as the Beastfolk warriors, a formidable assembly of humanoid lizards, black bears, and mantis creatures armed with ancient and powerful Magic Artifacts, surged forward with that shook the very foundations of the Tower…

Their battle cries were deafening!

Whoosh~

Their weapons gleamed with an otherworldly light, while their eyes were locked on their targets as they closed in on Vale's group with killing intent.

They had no plans to let any of them survive!

As chaos erupted around them, Chad, the Half-Dragon, started using his Draconic Powers as scales started appearing on his body.

It didn't end there as he even formed his wings! At this time, he truly seemed like a humanoid dragon!

With scales as hard as steel and wings that seemed to be capable of creating storm, he unleashed a breath of fire and sharp winds upon the advancing horde!

At this time, there were no more crowds of Beastfolks but only warriors in sight!

Roooarrr~

Chad's roars were threatening but the Beastfolks were willing to sacrifice their lives! His roar even drowned the battle cry of the Beastfolk warriors!

Boom!

As they clashed, the ones in front, who were Lizardfolks, were burned and thrown away by his force!

On the other hand, Odessa, the former Royal Mage whose mastery of the arcane arts was so deep, used various Mystic Arts… She used her own Arcane Energy to condense a huge pressure around a specific area that made her targets' movement really slow! This actions frightened the Bear Warriors as their momentum was easily destroyed by this spell…

They wanted to use their Dash Skills to overwhelm but because of her move, they immediately failed to do that!

Vale nodded after seeing this sight… He didn't doubt their skills at all since he already had rough idea about their strength.

Nonetheless, the reason he didn't act or order Jin to immediately end this farce wasn't to let the two work hard.

Apparently, for some reason, Vale and Jin couldn't muster their Divinity as soon as Felicia gave her command to attack them.

He didn't know how they did it, but their Divinity was suppressed by some sort of Formation Arts or perhaps even some kind of Arcana.

They were indeed prepared to fight against Celestial Beings. Unfortunately for them, they had Chad and Odessa, who don't need Divinity.

Of course, Vale wasn't really fully suppressed as he wasn't really relying on his Shadow Divinity. He had other means to fight against them. Even if his physical body alone was more than enough to deal with these creatures.

He had an unimaginable strength and he was confident that none of these Beastfolks would be able to stop him.

Nonetheless, he decided to act weakened and allow the others to fight for him.

He wanted to see more from these Beastfolks.

He acted like he was panicking that his usual strengths were rendered inert in this accursed place… Seeing his disbelief, Felicia couldn't help but smile…

'We're doing great… We can win this…' Felicia thought as she believed that they'd already won. There were thousands of Beastfolks in this place and even if she sacrificed so many of them, she wouldn't mind it at all as long as they could get the Golden Key! The surroundings had soon been filled with the echoes of clashing magic and steel... The various Beastfolks under her command continued fighting against the Dragonkin and the Magician without care for their lives!
