Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

"Chad?" Aubrey was stunned as soon as she heard the name of the half-dragon. Chad's appearance does indeed have a semblance to the Chad Bulmung that she knew in the Academy! The student who had disappeared with Lisa!

Nonetheless, as Chad appeared, the Angel that was summoned ignored his warning and raised its sword, light cascading off its blade in waves of holy wrath!

"Hmph!"

Chad responded by spreading his Draconic Aura wide, creating a protective barrier of Dragonfire springing forth to shield the Elementalists and Aubrey.

Boom!

The Angel descended with heavenly might, its sword started cleaving from the sky towards Chad.

But with reflexes honed by draconic instinct, Chad parried with his talon-clad forearm, sparks of holy fire scattering upon impact.

Chad may not have the snout, tail, or wings of the Dragons, but he still possessed their eyes, aura, and some dragon scales!

The two then clashed against each other—Chad's fiery breath was met by the Angel's gale of sacred winds.

"Hmph!"

Each strike from the Angel was met with Chad's calculated counterattacks, his claws raking against Angel's holy armor.

The Angel, swift and ethereal, maneuvered like a figure of light. Then, its wings unfurled to unleash a barrage of light feathers sharp as blades!

"That's enough…" Chad turned to the feather blades and stared at the summoned Angel without blinking…

Thud! Thud! Thud!

His scales deflected the radiant onslaught of the feathers without getting injured! It was as if he was showing how weak the Angel's attacks were!

With a roar that shook almost the whole town, Chad unleashed "Dragon's Maw," a torrent of blue flame that sought to engulf the Angel.

Yet, the Angel ascended, evading the inferno with an elegant arc.

Descending like a bolt of judgment, the Angel aimed to smite Chad with "Heaven's Decree," its sword radiating an aura that aims to kill the half-dragon.

But Chad met the blade with his own weapon—a greatsword forged from a Dimensional Creature and imbued with his essence!

Well, it came from the loot that the Shadow Immortal had obtained after killing numerous Demon Saints.

Boom!

Steel and spirit collided in chaotic form of light and shadow.

The ground beneath them cracked and heaved as their struggle intensified.

Chad's draconic might surged as he invoked "Space Rupture" his sword now cloaked in unsual form of energy that devoured light. T

he Angel countered with "Luminous Barrier," hoping that it could fight against the encroaching void.

Blow for blow they traded—their battle a symphony of destruction that resonated across the battlefield.

Aubrey watched in awe as Chad fought with a ferocity that matched the Angel's grace.

Of course, the others used this as an opportunity.

The Elementalists rallied behind their unexpected ally and didn't stop fighting as they targeted the Untainted Sentinels, who seemed to be incredibly exhausted after summoning an angel at the level of a Half-Immortal!

The two Untainted Sentinels, Clare and Teresa, knew that it would be difficult for them to fight against the Elementalist and immediately retreated!

They miscalculated Chad's arrival, who could match against a Four-Winged Angel!

They had been too confident that no one in this town could match them. They actually believed that even if the whole branch of the Arcanist Guild gathered, they would fail to stop them!

"Chad… Just where did this person come from… Wait… Isn't he the Guard in the Immortal's Castle?!" Teresa muttered after suddenly recalling the silent figure that allowed them to pass through the gates of the castle.

They didn't think too much of that person and forgot about him after several years.

However, they couldn't help but feel curious why Chad was interested to the remnants of the vampire that they've discovered!

"Is it a mission given to him by the Shadow Immortal?" Clare muttered under her breath.

"Not good…" Teresa wanted to curse out loud but the Angel was still there. She decided to keep it to herself and focused on retreating for now.

Anyway, as the duel of the two beings wore on, fatigue began to show in the Angel's movements.

Seizing the moment, Chad executed a series of feints and strikes that culminated in "Serpentine Lash," his sword moved as if it was whipping forward!

Bang!

The Angel faltered, its form marred by a gash that oozed with the mystical essence of light.

With a bellowing cry, Chad pressed on, and his follow-up attack sought to drive back the Angel to where it belonged!

Chad then summoned all his strength into "Dragon's Wrath." This was one of the Spells that he really liked as it could release a devastating blast that even the True Immortals in the Castle had to take seriously!

Boom!

The Dragon's Wrath was released, and it didn't affect the buildings or the surroundings and only hurt its target that has been marked by Dragon's Aura!

Thud!

The Angel reeled from the impact, its form beginning to wane!

This Angel then looked at Chad solemnly and glanced at the two retreating figures who summoned her.

With dignity and sorrow etched upon its appearance, the Angel acknowledged its defeat.

With one last look upon the mortal realm, it ascended skyward—its form dissolving into motes of light that returned to the realm from whence it came.

The battlefield fell silent except for the crackling embers of Dragonfire and Chad's heavy breaths.

'That four-winged angel is stronger than I thought…' Chad muttered as he looked at where the Angel disappeared.

Chad turned to face Aubrey, his draconic eyes softening with a hint of human emotion.

"It's been a while, Aubrey…" he said, his voice a blend of warmth and solemnity.

Aubrey's heart skipped a beat.

"Is that really you?! Chad Bulmung? I thought your family were Ghost Kings! What happened? How did you become a Half-Dragon?! And Lisa… you disappeared with her, where is she?!" The questions tumbled out in a rush, her mind reeling from the sight before her.

Chad's expression grew pensive, his gaze distant as if recalling painful memories. "It's a long story…"
