Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy - #557 - 557 Against the Vampire

The Vampire burst into laughter when he realized that Kai’s cover as a human Arcanist was easily blown by these two people. He didn’t show any anger but rather amusement.

“Interesting… You must have something up your sleeves. How did you realize his identity? I’m sure not even the Priests were capable of doing that… No. Instead of answering that, tell me why you’ve come here.” The Vampire said, thinking that these two Arcanists had more than just fighting in mind.

After all, they would have attacked him and stopped Kai if they really wanted to deal with him.

But Clovis’ reply stunned him.

“What else do you think we are here for? We are here to slay the Vampires living in this castle. Are you the only Vampire living here?”

“Hmm? You want to kill me? That’s impossible… Since you made me laugh, I will allow you and your partner to escape.” The Vampire replied.

However, Clovis shook his head as he had no plans to waste this opportunity.

“I don’t believe that a blood-thirsty monster like you that preys on people deserves to live…” Clovis said, unleashing his Water Domain. This way, he didn’t need to use his Spell Dispersion to counter the Blood Manipulation Spell that had been trying to attack him all this time.

Pearl, on the other hand, moved back, knowing that Clovis wanted to fight solo. She would only intervene if the Vampire summoned his familiars or ordered Kai to join the fight.

“A Domain Spell?!” The Vampire felt a surge of fear and anger as he realized that the Spell that Clovis used made him incapable of utilizing any form of liquid at all. This obviously includes the Blood Manipulation Spell!

‘Did they advance so quickly?!’

The Vampire couldn’t help but reassess his view on humans. He realized that these two Arcanists were not ordinary and would be a great source of information…

‘This Arcanist must’ve mastered his Domain Magic to the Advanced Realm. However, how could a young man possess a Tier 3 Spell and master it so quickly?’ The Vampire mused as he felt the powerful domain that could resist his magic.

“Do you think this Domain Spell would stop me from using my Spell?” The Vampire sneered as he waved his hands.

The Vampire’s intent was to dismantle the Domain Spell by launching a destructive spell on Clovis. It was none other than his Blood Blast Spell. He drew upon the blood of the numerous victims he had recently claimed.

However, Clovis remained unperturbed by the impending attack, as his Water Domain exerted a profound influence, impeding the trajectory of the Blood Blast. The Spell’s velocity was significantly reduced, rendering it incapable of quickly striking him…

“You’re still inside my Water Domain… Don’t be surprised.” Clovis muttered.

Notably, he found no need to invoke his Spell Dispersion, as the potency of the Blood Blast waned before it could reach him.

The Vampire, taken aback by the unexpected failure of his Spell, could only think of another way to fight.

However, Clovis also made his move.

He swiftly retaliated by unleashing the power of the Chain of Souls, a Spell Fusion born from the union of Corrupted Chains and Dusk Imprisonment!

The ethereal chains, infused with an ominous aura, extended toward the Vampire, seeking to entangle and confine him within their sinister grasp.

“A Light Chain Spell?! Don’t underestimate me!” The Vampire bellowed, invoking his Dark Embrace Spell, from which tendrils of shadow snaked forth, reaching out to ensnare Clovis in their malevolent embrace.

To Clovis’s astonishment, the shadows appeared animate, as if imbued with a dreadful vitality.

After observing it carefully, he realized that they greatly differ from the Dark Spirit’s Spell. From his observation, the Vampire’s Dark Embrace was a spectral manifestation of the Vampire’s victims, twisted into a dark semblance of life.

Boom!

The clash between the Chain of Souls and the Dark Embrace ensued…

As the malevolent chains from the Chain of Souls surged forward, they intertwined with the shadowy tendrils of the Dark Embrace, creating a mesmerizing dance of light and darkness.

The chains, pulsating with an eerie, ethereal glow, coiled and twisted with an almost sentient movement, seeking to ensnare and bind the Vampire within their spectral embrace.

“Whoa~” Even Clovis was a bit surprised after seeing how his Chain of Souls moves even without his constant input of instruction.

In stark contrast, the shadowy tendrils created by the Vampire undulated and writhed with a sinister grace, striving to entangle Clovis in their malevolent grip.

However, aside from that, Clovis realized that the Vampire seemed to have an endless amount of shadows!

It took him a few seconds before he realized the impending danger of being overwhelmed by the multitude of shadows converging upon him. It seemed that the Vampire had so many victims over the past years that the shadow he was controlling would probably not end any time soon.

Clovis frowned as he made up his mind. He decided to employ his other Fusion Spell—the Oblivion Trance. It was from the fusion of Evil Eye Spell and Feign Death Spell.

As Clovis unleashed the power of the Oblivion Trance, the Vampire became a bit wary as he felt a strong fluctuation of energy from Clovis.

Then, he felt his consciousness being taken away by the mysterious Spell that was cast on him! He knew that if he didn’t do anything, he would collapse, and his consciousness would be taken away.

‘What’s wrong with this kid? Is he using a Psychic Art this time?’ The Vampire frowned.

However, he immediately fortified his defenses by invoking the Nightmare Veil. Then, another Nightmare Veil was summoned, and this time, its aim was to shroud Clovis!

Seeing the huge veil trying to cover the entire room, Clovis summoned the Stormbringer Sword, a powerful weapon revered as the divine sword of the Church of the Three Paragons.

The blade crackled with lightning energy, illuminating the room with its radiant power…

The sudden appearance of the divine sword surprised the Vampire as he didn’t like the lightning energy!

“Catch this!”

Clovus shouted as he unleashed the sword’s formidable might in a bid to vanquish the Vampire!
