Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
chapter-893

893 Fusion

Jean was able to obtain the bodies of those Immortals not just by pure luck but also with his wealth, connection, and power. He was one who truly wanted to obtain the secrets of the Immortals…

That was the reason why he truly regretted what had happened to Vale, who turned out to be the Shadow Immortal. If he had stuck with him during that time, perhaps he was already enjoying the benefits of having an Immortal ally.

"You need my failed experiments?" Jean asked after some thoughts. Although he had failed so many times to obtain the secrets of the Immortals, he was still able to discover numerous things. Those failed attempts would definitely save Maya's time…

After all, the knowledge she obtained from the Chaos Alchemist wasn't infinite, and there were still some details that Maya needed to discover herself in order to fully understand some recipes and experiments that she had inherited.

"It's good that you understand… You basically have all the things I need, and I have the knowledge to use them… I think that our cooperation will be phenomenal… Now that more and more people started becoming Arcanist with my assistance, the lack of Arcanist Souls that I need would be easily resolved in just a few more years…"

Jean's expression didn't change as he heard this.

'So it's true… A second identity or persona appeared after she became the Chaos Alchemist. Is it the remnant soul of the Chaos Alchemist? No… Maybe it's just a unique trait for those people who had learned Primordial Chaos Arts.' Jean thought to himself as he recalled that he was warned by one of the Masked Archons of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets about Maya's second personality that didn't care about human lives, befitting for the title of Chaos Alchemist.

Nonetheless, this personality would only appear once she was entranced into something related to Alchemy.

Jean considered her words, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"More Archanists Soul, huh… You make a compelling suggestion, Miya. But we must proceed with caution. The other Churches or maybe even the Shadow Immortal's faction will not take kindly to our plans if they discover them. As you know, the Arcane Bureau was also working for the Shadow Immortal… They have an incredible ability to gather information."

Maya nodded. "We're lucky that we have the Goddess of Concealment backing us up… As long as we stay within the boundaries of the Church, no one will discover our plans. Even if we fail to obtain the powers of the Celestials, I can guarantee you that we will be able to awaken them. We just have to ensure that we'll be able to control them at that time."

After hearing her confident words, Jean's eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement.

Now, he just had to worry about transferring these Immortal Bodies to the territory of the Church. After all, the place where he had hidden these bodies was incredibly far away, and it wouldn't be easy to conceal them once they had been removed from that special vessel. Their auras would be released, and it wouldn't be impossible for the others, including the Overseer, to detect them.

"Very well. We shall begin our preparations." Headmaster Jean replied that he had decided to go through Maya's plan. In any case, this was the only way he could think of in order to further advance his strength now that he had lost the support of the Dark Arts Faction after faking his death.

In the meantime, while everyone had plans for their future endeavor, Vale also started to do what he really wanted to for a while now.

Vale returned to his room since the familiar surroundings offered him a sense of comfort and focus.

His room was simple, without many decorations, but it kept his mind at peace. He was also keeping some of his items here that might be helpful to others in case he wasn't here.

As he settled into his chair, Vale's mind turned to the Spells he had recently acquired.

They were all thanks to the efforts of Jin, Magnus, Chad, Lisa, and the others, who had prepared numerous corpses for him while he was encased in the ice crystal. After extracting all of them, he now possessed dozens of new Spells.

He was thankful that he had enough Spell Lights to accommodate them.

Anyway, most of these Spells were weak on their own… There were even spells like Earth Wall, Ghost Hand, Bind Curse, Fire Ball, and others. However, he decided to accept them all.

After all, he had several empty Spell Lights, and Vale knew that by fusing them with his existing repertoire, he could create new, formidable abilities.

He checked his status and listed all of the spells…

'Let's hope I'll get a jackpot this time.' Vale thought to himself as he planned to have a long day today to fuse many of his Spells…

His eyes scanned the names of his new Spells and recalled in his mind what they could do…. He also considered some potential combinations that he could use to obtain better results. After all, if he fused Spells with some relation to each other, he knew that he'd get a decent result and not a random average Spell Model...

Anyway, Among the new Spells were minor enchantments and elemental manipulations, but Vale saw their potential for greater things.

'I have some old Spells that weren't that helpful anymore… I should start with them…' Vale thought to himself.

He then began with his old powerful Spells: Abyssal Fire, Demon's Wrath, Oblivion Trace, and Soul Reaper.

These Spells had served him well, but he knew they could be enhanced further. After all, he still had plenty of Essence with him!

[ Essence List:

Imp Essence: 1,007

It must be remembered that the limit of his Fusion Process was three spells and one Essence. It was a total of four Fusion Slots. Because of that, even a weak Ghost Hand would have a power fusion result with other spells if he just added, for example, a thousand Draconic Essence.

With a deep breath, he started the intricate process of Fusion.

The first Fusion combined Abyssal Fire with several other Spells he had acquired.
