Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 829  Reported

"So it was like that…"

Aubrey stood in awe as the pieces of the supernatural puzzle fell into place before her very eyes. The truth was actually more extraordinary and perplexing than she could have ever imagined.

"I don't think this is a coincidence… You chose this place since you knew about the ghost in the first place. It was just a matter of time." Vale said, seeing how Aubrey looked so shocked.

She was probably expecting to find the ghost she was searching for after several years of investigating this land as a Paranormal Investigator.

"My father was right… Now, I just have to learn the Primordial Chaos Art…" Aubrey wryly smiled after realizing that her mission had already changed.

Aubrey didn't mention it to Vale, but the true purpose of this search was to help her father. The Hall Family was only a merchant family with various descendants who had learned different Arcane Paths to make more connections.

However, her father saw the chance of becoming an Arcanist Family. It was when he found the ancient book related to the Lost Arcane Arts. He and his grandfather dreamed that they would make their merchant family into a strong Arcanist Family.

To do that, they thought of buying their way to become a powerful Arcanist Family by recruiting talented people. However, that was too unstable… They couldn't rely on external forces to maintain their Arcanist Family.

Thankfully, the current head of the family discovered the Primordial Chaos Arts and had some of his trusted descendants take on the mission of uncovering this Lost Arcane Art. "I've done it… So it's the ghost I've been seeking…" Aubrey breathed, her voice tinged with wonder and disbelief, her gaze fixed upon the spectral form that now stood before her in all its spectral glory. The realization that dawned upon her filled her with a sense of relief.

"Did you truly delve into the Primordial Chaos Arts?" Aubrey inquired. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and a thirst for understanding that burned within her like a flame…

Although she was still on a mission, her desire to obtain knowledge was undeniable.

In the meantime, Vale remained silent.

His aura, however, was suffused with Shadow Divinity that swirled around the ghostly figure in a delicate web of containment… n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After a few moments, he nodded in satisfaction. He felt that the bind he created was perfect and would not be destroyed by the ghost. 'Perfect…'

The essence of his shadow bound the spirit perfectly, ensuring that its ethereal form remained tethered to the mortal realm, unable to slip through the cracks of reality and vanish into the mists of the supernatural or spirit realm.

The ghost, on the other hand, was shocked at Aubrey's question.

"How did you come to possess such knowledge?" the ghost questioned, a tremor of uncertainty rippling through its incorporeal form as it couldn't understand how they knew about the Arcane Arts he had practiced…

"This is impossible…" He added. The secrets it had guarded with utmost care and secrecy now stood exposed to the piercing scrutiny of these two individuals! His three or four lovers should be the only ones who were aware of his secret! Those lovers of him had also died already more than 200 years ago!

"Wait, Aubrey… We must leave this place before we interrogate him…" Vale declared.

Apparently, even after suppressing the ghost, it could still somehow affect the surrounding energy. Perhaps, it was due to the mysterious Primordial Chaos Arts!

It was causing trouble within the cemetery as if it was trying to cause a storm… Vale had to quickly do something about it, and removing the sources of dark energy in the surroundings would be a good decision.

With that said, Vale waved his hand and tore the space! This shocked Aubrey, but she didn't comment for now as she was afraid that Vale would have to concentrate.

Then, Vale held Aubrey's shoulder and entered the portal he had created!

Just like that, the trio traversed the threshold of the portal and emerged in Raze's office… The spirit was still ensnared by Vale's Shadow Essence all this time.

"You!"

The ghost immediately felt enraged after realizing that the energy he was trying to gather just vanished!

He had wasted a lot of effort on that!

In the meantime, Aubrey stood transfixed, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief at the sight that greeted her…

"You can travel through space!" Aubrey was shocked and excited since she knew a little about the Space Techniques! It might even be a Lost Art that could somehow be used by Mystic Arts Practitioners and Rune Casters with the right tools to trigger them.

Meanwhile, as Vale and Aubrey delved deeper into the secrets surrounding the ghost and the Lost Arcane Arts, across the vast expanse of the Holy City's Cathedral, a huge problem started bubbling into the surface. Teresa and Clare, the two Untainted Sentinels, kneeled in the hallowed halls of the grand Cathedral… The two of them just completed their report to Farah, the esteemed Avatar of the Fortune Goddess.

"Mhmmm…"

In the somber stillness of the sacred sanctuary, Farah pondered the revelations brought forth by her loyal sentinels.

The mention of the Shadow Immortal's Avatar being with Aubrey caught her interest…

"The Shadow Immortal's Avatar... an intriguing mystery indeed…" Farah mused as she considered her next actions.

"I guess it's true that the Death God injured his main body... That's already quite impressive that he didn't die..." Farah then thought for a moment as she considered whether to attack the Shadow Immortal now.

After all, the Shadow Immortal could have taken over this realm unless she made her move now…

After a moment of silent reflection and deliberation, Farah's decision was ultimately made after using her Divine Insight..

She then dismissed Teresa and Clare, the Untainted Sentinels, and went to the inner chamber.

She had to prepare for battle…

With a silent prayer to her main body, she asked for more Divinity to be bestowed in the Avatar's body!
