Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Thanks to the seniors of the Battle Arena Committee, Vale learned plenty of things about the Fear Stream and Spectral Hands.

After all, these students were the ones always officiating the duels in the arena and had seen plenty of battles.

According to them, the Spectral Hand mostly relies upon its speed to suppress or even kill its targets.

Furthermore, depending on the caster, this Spectral Hand can be extremely hot which could burn a person, or extremely cold which can freeze the target.

Of course, it can only be done if the caster's mastery of the spell is already at a higher level…

As soon as Vale saw Wilfred's lone Spectral Hand, he can already tell that it was using a burning aura that may scorch him if it gets closer.

Furthermore, it was followed by a wave of energy and Vale guessed that it was the Fear Stream that could make him an idiot if he was hit.

'We're separated by about 15 meters… He didn't even bother moving forward. So it was a lie when Zeno mentioned that he should only have about 9 meters?' Vale thought for a moment before erasing this idea.

Instead of that, he felt that Wilfred was using another Artifact that increases his Magic Zone!

Although he has no idea what type of Mystical Artifact it was, he believes that Wilfred is capable to procure this type of mystical item with his family supporting him in the background.

Thump!

Vale jumped sideways as he controlled the two Ghost Hands to stop the Spectral Hand.

A blast of energy exploded as Vale detonated the two Ghost Hands as soon as they caught Wilfred's Spectral Hands!

The last Ghost Hand directly went to Wilfred's spot who should be defenseless at this moment.

"What a decisive move! You can even detonate your Ghost Hands! As expected of the Advanced Realm! Your control is on another level!" Wilfred spoke as if he has everything under his control.

He actually praised Vale instead of feeling dismayed!

Nevertheless, Vale can tell that Wilfred is only acting tough!

The last Ghost Hand arrived and was about to grab Wilfred's head. Unfortunately, Vale was "caught" by the Fear Stream and the Ghost Hand suddenly turned illusory to the point that it was dissipating.

"Haha! Do you think my Fear Stream can be blocked by mere defensive spells or even our Academy's uniform? You even think of running away… What a fool!" Wilfred was so excited after seeing Vale get hit by the Fear Stream.

Normally, their Academy's uniform can block the lowest level of dark spells and provide a bit of resistance to many types of spells outside their Arcane Path.

With this knowledge, Wilfred knows that Vale would wear his uniform to weaken the effect of his Fear Stream…

However, with the Mystical Ring Artifact he had worn on his finger, the effect of his Fear Stream would be unimaginable for a 13 or 14-year-old kid!

Wilfred doesn't even care about the Ghost Hand that was aimed at him!

After all, he still has another Artifact that can easily cancel the Ghost Hand.

What he was really afraid of is that Vale could summon another defensive spell that could stop his Fear Stream! Luckily, Vale wasn't prepared enough!

Seeing that Vale was successfully hit by the Fear Stream, Wilfred resummoned his Spectral Hand. As long as the Spell Light in his body is still filled with Darkness Energy, he can easily summon another Spectral Hand to do his bidding…

As soon as his Spectral Hand reached Vale's position, he suddenly realized that the Ghost Hand which was supposedly dissipating because of the effect of Fear Stream, suddenly became vivid in front of him as it blocked his vision!

"Hmph! Your tricks won't work on me… I still have—"

As Wilfred believed that his other Mystical Artifact would defend his body, he realized that the Ghost Hand managed to grab his head without any form of resistance!

Thud!

'What's going on?'

Wilfred couldn't understand how the dissipating Ghost Hand that shouldn't possess any more threat suddenly turn active again and was even able to grab his head!

He also couldn't believe that his other Artifact did not activate to protect himself! Something is not right!

He had tested it before the duel began so he was sure that it could stop Vale's Dark Spell!

'Not good… Wilfred's defenseless.' Grover realized that Vale's control over his Ghost Hands was already on the expert level.

He was also tricked by the dissipating Ghost Hand just now!

As he was about to stop the battle and use his Dark Spell to freeze the Ghost Hand, Wilfred suddenly collapsed to the ground as the Ghost Hand dissipated for good. At the same time, Vale also kneeled on the floor as he confirmed that Wilfred was killed just like that.

Furthermore, the Ring Artifact that the Headmaster gave him almost lit up so he had no choice but to cover his hands by kneeling on the floor.

The spectators may not recognize it but he didn't want to take a chance.

In Grover's periphery vision, he only noticed that Vale was also hit by Wilfred's Spectral Hand… This Hand was able to dodge the resummoned Ghost Hands and struck Vale in his stomach.

He simply thought that Vale was injured.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The three Corner Judges immediately went to check Wilfred's condition. His sudden collapse was incredibly suspicious.

The Ghost Hand didn't even put enough pressure to press on his head!

However, for some reason, Wilfred's body collapsed like it was a puppet whose strings have been cut.

"T-this… Wilfred is not breathing!"

"Give him the Life Pill!"

"Not good… It may not be enough. I'll get the Darkness Soul Potion."

As soon as they heard the Corner Judges' panicked voices, the spectators of the duel felt a chill on their bodies…

Vale seems to have killed the young master of the Moontomb Family!

'This is bad…' Leonore already stood up as she looked at Vale filled with worry.

She can't even think of celebrating his win since Vale had just offended a powerful family of the Dark Arts Faction!
