Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 870: Drained



As Homer spoke, the ritual to corrupt everyone's minds should have taken effect, but even after a while, nothing happened!

He wasn't able to react immediately since a few of his corrupted Knights should've completed all the preparations they made and were protecting the key cores of the Formation. He had checked it himself and found the issues.

He couldn't immediately think of a reason why it suddenly failed!

Nonetheless, he wasn't too worried since he had a backup plan already. He could simply use his Demonic Domain to trap everyone here and begin his tedious process of corruption to control this empire.

'Right... This is all for the Demon Lord and to receive the promised Scepter!' The disguised Demon Saint said to himself. At this time, he could see the Knights and various Arcanists noticed a problem and had already formed a barrier to protect the Emperor... As for the Grand Knights, they were ready to fight!

'Foolish...' He thought...

However, as he was about to start with his Plan B, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the air around Homer grew cold, and a shadowy figure appeared behind him.

Vale, the Avatar of the Shadow Immortal, wearing an unusual blindfold, had arrived. With swift movement, Vale grabbed Homer, the disguised Grand Knight, and in an instant, they were transported to a different location.

As soon as they vanished, everyone in the hall was confused...

"What's going on?!"

"A Demonic Creature... Then a blindfolded Arcanists appeared."

"Maybe it's the Emperor's hidden protector?"

"That's true... Everything happened so quickly."

As they were all unable to guess what had happened, Captain Ashley of the Arcane Bureau finally showed herself to explain the situation...

"This is all to ensure that we capture all Corrupted Knights working for the Demon Saint. We discovered that they had been scattered everywhere, but because of the Demon Saint's plan, he gathered them all here, and we decided to take care of them with the Emperor's permission." Ashley proudly said in front of everyone.

With this achievement, she was hoping that she would get promoted within the organization. Although she certainly liked being a captain of a small unit of Arcanists, obtaining a safe position in the office instead of always being in the field might suit her.

"I hope I can earn enough reward for this job." Ashley muttered to herself as she prayed that Vale would settle this matter quickly.

In the meantime, Vale and the Demon Saint arrived in a dimly lit chamber where Lisa, a True Vampire, had prepared a Formation Array.

The array glowed with an eerie light as its intricate blood patterns pulsed with Vampiric Energy.

Homer, or rather Entei, the Rank Zero Demon Saint, was immediately aware of the danger he was in. Without even being given a chance to resist or gather his energy, he felt his blood and energy being drained, and he saw a female vampire, Lisa, standing at the center of the array while her eyes were looking at him with hunger and satisfaction.

"What is this?!" Entei roared, struggling against the shadows that bound him.

But Vale's control was absolute.

At this time, he already stood outside the array, his shadows wrapping tightly around the Demon Saint, ensuring he could not escape.

"Welcome to your end, Entei," Vale said coldly. "You've caused enough problems. It's time to pay for your crimes."

If he actually didn't learn about this person's plans, he knew that the Demon Saint would most likely succeed. After all, he wasn't like those other Demon Saints who only knew how to fight or flee from stronger opponents.

This Rank Zero Demon Saint, on the other hand, was smart enough to bid his time for his revenge. It was unfortunate for him that the Overseer of the Arcane Bureau was talented enough to sense the disturbance he had caused.

Anyway, Vale's words weren't just to catch the Demon Saint's attention but it was also filled with a Spell that could weaken the Demon Saint's mind even for a little.

Lisa then smiled after seeing that Vale's trick worked little...

"Don't resist... Your blood will grant me power, Demon Saint. Consider it a fitting end for one who sought to corrupt and destroy." She whispered to the strong Demon Saint, who didn't get a chance to fight them with his full power!

Vale and Lisa knew very well that this Demon Saint was still strong. Fighting him fairly could bring disaster to them. It was better to deal with this issue with such a sneaky method!

Entei's eyes widened in horror as he realized the full extent of his situation.

Formation Array was designed to drain his blood and demonic essence, rendering him powerless. He thrashed and struggled, but the more he fought, the tighter Vale's shadows constricted around him.

Even if he gathered his energy, it just hastens the Formation Array's draining power!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You won't get away with this!" Entei spat, his voice filled with desperation. Vale's expression remained impassive. "You're already defeated, Entei. Accept your fate." As the array continued to drain Entei's blood and essence, Lisa's power grew.

She could feel the demonic energy coursing through her veins, enhancing her strength and abilities. The chamber resonated with the dark energy and the air crackled with power.

Thankfully, however, she was able to suppress the evil energy that had accompanied the essence of the Demon Saint.

Entei's struggles grew weaker, his strength fading with each passing moment. "No... this can't be..." he muttered, his voice becoming barely a whisper.

With a final surge of energy, the Formation Array completed its work. Entei's body went limp, and the shadows binding him dissipated.

Lisa sat down with a cross leg as she concentrated. Her power was now magnified by the Demon Saint's essence, and she had to control it.

'The essence was filled with Corrupted Divinity... I hope she can endure it.' Vale thought to

himself.

This situation lasted for several hours before Vale felt the change in the surroundings.

Vale approached her with a smile as he knew that Lisa was done.

"Congratulations, Lisa. You're now a True Vampire Immortal..."
