Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-858

"I'm bleeding? How?!" Ivan was terrified as soon as he saw his blood started leaking out of his body like a river. He couldn't recall when he was hit by a Spell or when Lisa cast one.

'Is it a Curse? Formation Array? Poison?' Ivan's mind raced with possibilities but he couldn't recall how he was injured.

He couldn't even use his Time Spell to recover his health because of the chaotic energy that had entered his body!

'I'm going to die!'

Ivan's realization dawned with a sense of dread... What he was facing right now wasn't a prey or a source of precious materials for a ritual.

The woman was a predator, a True Vampire that held powers beyond his imagining, a force of darkness that threatened to consume him whole!

Ivan then tried using his life-saving artifact that could help him recover his body from the past and fuse it to the current him. It would allow him to recover and defend himself against the attack or even escape from the True Vampire.

This artifact was a small edo stone, and he only had to shatter it with his hands!

However, Ivan stood frozen in shock, as he even failed to do that!

He had to do something quickly! He couldn't just give up as he tried to forcefully use Slow Spell on himself instead of trying to recover!

Thankfully, the Slow Spell was triggered and it slowed down blood draining curse or spell that was on his body!

"I'm going to survive this... I'm going to kill you, Vampire!"

Ivan wanted to use all of his Temporal Energy to disturb the surrounding space and kill the Vampire with him!

However, the blood trickling from his nose became faster, and the Vampire suddenly looked so alluring to him to the point that he couldn't think of harming her!

"So beautiful... I'm willing to die for you---"

The Vampire smiled after hearing this. Then, with a swift and fluid motion, she closed the distance between them, her crimson eyes locking onto his with an intensity that sent a shiver down his spine.

At this time, the Charm Spell had already vanished and he felt his life being taken away from him.

"Y-you're... going to... regret... this-"

In a heartbeat, Ivan felt a surge of otherworldly power wash over him, a dark force that threatened to overwhelm his senses.

Hum~

The air then hummed with Vampiric magic as Lisa's gaze pierced through his defenses, her will was soon embedded to the Time Manipulator's brain!

After that, Lisa's face grew closer to his neck.

As her lips brushed against his skin and her fangs dipped into his flesh, a chill spread through Ivan's veins, a cold fire that ignited a primal fear deep within his soul.

With a whisper as soft as silk, she started a ritual that had been passed through her by the Vampire's Bloodline Orb.

It was a ritual that was deep-rooted in her genes.

"Aahhhh!"

In that fateful moment, as the last vestiges of resistance crumbled within him, Ivan could only feel the sharp sting of her fangs piercing his flesh, a sensation both terrifying and intoxicating.

The rush of his own lifeblood being drawn from his veins sent a surge of euphoria through his being, a euphoria that mingled with a primal instinct to submit to the will of his captor.

As Lisa drank deeply of his essence, a symbiotic bond formed between them, a connection that transcended normal hypnotism or slave spells.

It was their unholy communion!

Ivan felt his consciousness slip into a haze of ecstasy and torment, his very existence now tied to the will of the Vampire...

When the last drop of his blood was consumed, Ivan's transformation was complete.

He was no longer a Time Manipulator, he had become something new!

He had just become a Lesser Vampire bound to Lisa, a servant to her will for all eternity.

Meanwhile, as soon as Ivan's connection was cut off, the Time

Manipulators, Wasa, Elysia, Cyper, and Liora, immediately noticed this.

A sense of unease rippled through their shared mind network.

The absence of Ivan, their fellow comrade who had incredible Time Manipulation Spells and several Life-Saving treasures, cast a shroud of uncertainty over their mission.

"What happened to Ivan? Can any of you sense his presence?" Wasa's voice echoed through their interconnected minds, a ripple of concern lacing his words with a note of urgency.

"I sense nothing... Ivan's presence is gone." Cyper's response carried a tinge of frustration... This shouldn't be happening at all.

"Liora, do you have any insights into Ivan's whereabouts?" Wasa's inquiry turned to the blue-haired Time Manipulator/

"His last known location was in the Pallham Empire..." Liora's voice echoed within their shared mental space...

Elysia frowned at this since she knew that there shouldn't be Immortals in the Pallham Empire. According to the information they gathered, they only have 8 Half-Immortals on

their side.

"Ivan may have encountered unforeseen dangers, or perhaps he utilized a life-saving Time Spell to enter another realm or space. We must trust in his abilities."

Although she was worried, she wanted to trust that their friend wasn't dead yet.

Her words certainly brought hope to everyone since leaving this realm or entering another space or dimension would certainly cut off their connection.

As their mental communication concluded, Elysia's attention turned towards the escalating confrontation between the Dark Magicians and the female Immortal's Avatar.

'This is getting more dangerous than I thought...' Elysia thought as she was really getting tempted to use her Time Spell soon.

Apparently, as soon as the Avatar of an Immortal appeared, the Dark Magicians revealed their trump card once again in the form of ten specialized Dark Arcanists.

These individuals served as vessels capable of hosting and channeling the malevolent essence

or Dark Entities!

To be exact, they were Spectral Lords!

Under the sinister influence of the Spectral Lords, the ten Dark Arcanists underwent a chilling transformation. Their once-human forms had completely changed as they became one with the Spectral Race!
