Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy - #565 - 565 More Extractions

The air was filled with ominous energy as Pearl unleashed the formidable “Storm Surge” spell.

This was the first time she had released this Spell to its maximum capacity, so she was also unsure how this would unfold.

With a commanding gesture, she called upon the tempestuous forces of nature, causing the sky to darken and roil with burgeoning storm clouds.

Then, the Spell Model in her body continued draining her energy!

As she noticed that it had already taken more than 30% of her energy reserves, the atmosphere seemed to shudder with pent-up power.

Suddenly, a blinding bolt of lightning surged from the heavens, followed by a deafening clap of thunder that reverberated through the air.

The tumultuous winds, stirred by Pearl’s magic, surged forth with unrelenting force, swirling and converging into a colossal tempest.

This Spell seemed even more powerful than Clovis’s Call of the Divine Lightning! After all, it was a huge storm that was summoned from that Spell!

Boom!

The tempest, born from her Spell Mastery and Divinity, coalesced into a raging maelstrom that engulfed the airship, its howling winds and torrential rain battering the vessel with unyielding fury.

The once serene skies transformed into a tempestuous battleground as the airship struggled against the relentless onslaught. Its progress was hindered by the ferocious elemental assault!

Furthermore, the two other Airships around were also affected by the storm she summoned.

Pearl didn’t plan it, but her Spell certainly helped all the Arcanists from Kirkham City!

‘It’s a lot more dangerous than I expected. It’s a good thing I didn’t use it in the city.’ Pearl mused as she started moving away.

Apparently, the storm she created wouldn’t be able to target who was the enemy or not, so she had to move away. It would just destroy everything in its path until it lost its energy.

Pearl then looked up to see how the airship was defending against the Storm Surge.

She saw how the airship continued producing several types of barriers. She could even feel that the high-level Arcanists inside the airship had started casting several spells to destroy the storm ahead.

‘Interesting… That Golden Airship is tougher than I expected.’ Pearl mused as she realized that even with the Storm Surge she cast with some of Divinity, they decided to stay and confront it instead of fleeing!

However, despite the airship’s formidable defenses, the unbridled power of the Spell proved to be an indomitable force…

After a few bolts of lightning, blasts of torrential rain, and tumultuous wind, when it was about to collapse, it successfully thwarted the airship’s relentless bombardment.

At the storm’s final moments, the airship, pounded and besieged, was finally compelled to veer away…

Just by using a single spell, the three airships were halted by the overwhelming might of nature’s fury.

“The only problem is that I can’t use that Spell again for the next six hours. The cooldown duration is a bit too long.” Pearl muttered helplessly as her mastery in this Spell hadn’t reached the Advanced Realm yet.

Almost all her Spells are incredibly strong or destructive, but they all have long durations and cost too much energy, so she couldn’t use them consecutively.

Nevertheless, with the immediate threat neutralized, a sense of triumph suffused the Torrent Squad. They weren’t sure how the storm appeared, but they didn’t have to think of that now.

They were ready to kill those who tried to chase after them!

Now that the airships were damaged and couldn’t follow their movements, they were ready to eliminate the threat!

***

In the meantime, as Clovis finished extracting one of the Arcanists from the Ruri Kingdom, he couldn’t help but look in Pearl’s direction and give an approving nod.

Though the airship remained intact, its menacing advance had been effectively halted by Pearl’s awe-inspiring display of Elemental Spell… or probably Mystical Spell, he wasn’t sure.

The three Airships were still unmoving, and they seemed to have received some internal damage from those lightning bolts since they could no longer chase after the escaping Arcanists from the Millton Kingdom.

It was a good news for Clovis.

“Wait for me… I’ll be visiting your Airships soon…” Clovis muttered as he summoned three Shadow Soldiers to pin down the three escaping Arcanists.

Using his Divine Sense and Spirit Vision, he realized that they were only Aura Masters that had Runic Weapons that boosted their Aura so he didn’t feel threatened facing them.

As soon as he finished the Shamans and Elementalists on their side, he went after these Aura Masters.

[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]

“Yes…”

[ Extraction Successful. Incomplete Spell Light +1. ]

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +20, Agility +0.15 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Incomplete Spell Light +1. ] 

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Sonic Fist Spell Model ]

[ Extraction Failed. ]

“I guess it’s better than nothing…” Clovis muttered as he saw the extracted Spell. According to the books, the Sonic Fist was one of the most basic abilities of Aura Masters.

It wasn’t a technique but a Spell that boosted any type of Fist or Punch Techniques

He then continued with the next victim.

[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]

“Yes…”

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +20, Intelligence +0.15 ] 

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +20, Vitality +0.15 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Spell Light ] 

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Weapon Enhancement Spell Model ]

[ Extraction Failed. ]

“Oh… This one looks more promising.” Clovis commented as soon as he saw the new Spell Model. He was also quite lucky to have obtained another Spell Light, as he was able to record it successfully.

He then continued with the third one, and aside from the attributes and an incomplete Spell Light, he was able to obtain another complete Meridian Access Spell Model. He knew he was getting closer to level it up. Perhaps he just needed one more similar Spell Model, and it would advance.

After doing all this, Clovis’s attention was finally drawn to the three unmoving airships above him.
