Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy - #571 - 571 Escape

Enraged by the Masked Devil’s ridiculing laugh, Gregory charged with his full might.

He had no idea why the Masked Man’s Phantasm State hadn’t ended yet, and he didn’t know when it would end. He couldn’t continue this type of enduring battle.

‘I’m the one who’s about to reach the limit… I need to end this quickly!’ Gregory gritted his teeth as he realized how incompetent he was.

If it was his older siblings, he knew that they wouldn’t struggle against this Masked Devil.

“I know you’re tired, Masked Devil! I’ll end this now!” Gregory shouted to boost his confidence. He was sure that the heavenly lightning that the devil summoned took a toll on his body.

 There was no way he wouldn’t receive a backlash from summoning such mighty lightning.

However, the Masked Devil’s preparation had already been completed.

The moment Clovis used his Light Absorption a while ago, he had also moved the corpses on the Airship’s Deck!

He had already readied himself for the impending confrontation.

As soon as Clovis saw the opportunity, he released his Spell!

“Behold, Corpse Explosion!”

Clovis chanted, unleashing a series of explosions on the airship’s deck.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surrounding was suddenly filled with deathly energy as the dread invocation of a Necromancer’s Spell unfurled.

The corpses weren’t triggered at the same time as they heralded a sequence of ominous detonations that reverberated through the airship with resounding force.

“W-what?!”

“Ahh! Help!”

“Save me!”

“My eyes!”

“Get away from the corpses!”

“Use your Spells to defend!”

The unexpected detonations seized the guards and the Prince in a maelstrom of disarray.

They were completely caught off guard in the wake of the ghastly spectacle that unfolded before them. Some of them were thrown away from the blast, and those that were unlucky immediately died.

The grim display of power made them want to surrender and give up any resistance.

‘That’s too strong…’ Clovis mused for a moment, but he recalled that the strength of the Corpse Explosion also largely depended on the Corpse itself.

It means that he didn’t have control over it.

Clovis’s mastery over this Spell had already ascended to the Advanced Realm. It was about to reach the Perfect Realm, so its strength was further amplified.

“Just hold on! He’ll be exhausted after using this strong Spell!”

“Yes! Kill him when you get the chance!”

The airship’s crew started shouting as they tried to intimidate the Masked Devil. In reality, they just wanted him to go away and not come back.

Then, the airship quaked beneath the onslaught of the concussive force. It was a testament to the explosive might unleashed by Clovis’s Necromancer Spell.

Amidst the chaos, the airship’s descent was hastened by the urgent commands of its Captain, a sense of urgency permeating the vessel as it hurtled earthward with escalating velocity.

‘Perfect…’ Clovis muttered as his task here wasn’t over yet.

Seizing the opportune moment presented by the chaos, Clovis swiftly invoked another spell. It was Lightspeed Spell that allowed him to move quickly.

 Then, in less than a second, he was able to grab the disoriented Prince!

[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

‘He’s at least a real human…’ Clovis commented in his mind as soon as he heard.

Then, he continued with his extraction.

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40, Vitality +0.25 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40, Vitality +0.25 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40, Agility +0.25 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Spell Light +1 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Complete Slave Mark Spell Model ]

[ Extraction Successful. Spirit Stone +5 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Unopened Arcane Sigil Scroll ]

[ Extraction Successful. Artificial Human Blueprint ]

‘Mhmm?’ Clovis didn’t quite expect the result of his extractions.

The Prince didn’t give many attributes, but he had actually given several items! This had never happened before!

‘So generous!’

Clovus knew about the Spirit Pearls, but the Spirit Stone was new to him… However, he felt that they were related to Spirit Strands.

As for the other two items, he could only guess. He wanted to inspect them immediately.

However, he didn’t have much time to spare.

Several Arcanists were already rushing at him, and his Phantasm State was about to end.

He had to leave quickly!

“You won’t get away!”

“Catch him!”

Clovis heard his pursuers as he executed a daring escape from the plummeting airship.

He was spurred by their ominous approach as they seemed to have gone mad the moment he threw the Prince away.

Furthermore, the Arcanists from the two other airships had also started aiming at him…

Initially, he wanted to extract all these people who dared to ambush their squad and try to take the treasures they got in the Vampire Castle.

However, the duration of his Phantasm State had already exceeded forty minutes!

It was such an incredible achievement, and no one would probably believe him if he said this. Of course, this would not be possible without the Obsidian Amulet bestowed upon him by Heinz.

If not for that, he’d probably be on the verge of madness, or according to their professors, he would be taken by the Darkness.

‘Levitation…’ Clovis muttered.

With a deft command of Levitation, Clovis swiftly navigated his course toward the verdant embrace of the dark forest below.

Then, several targeted spells came at him, but his evasive maneuver made it impossible to get hit!

“What’s with this movement technique?”

“How can he move like that while flying?”

“I thought he’s a Dark Magician?! That flying skill is not normal!”

“Don’t stop! Continue chanting your spells!” The leader of the Arcanists shouted, though he also felt frustrated.

On the other hand, amidst all the strange spells coming at him, Clovis realized that he would get hit soon.

With this in mind, he immediately canceled his Levitation, Lightspeed, and Meridian Access…

Then, he used his powerful Divine Lightning again to stop the other airships from following him!

Boom! Boom!

The bright, powerful lightning bolts caused another chaos and made it easier for Clovis to escape.

As the lightning faded, Clovis disappeared into the darkness…
