Novel Full Chapter 283 Upgrades
The three corpses didn’t give that many attributes, especially the other two, but he accepted them gladly.
Perhaps because their corpses had been lying around for a few hours, the attributes he extracted from the two were less than 0.10 points.
Nevertheless, he didn’t mind this since he had just extracted thousands of Divinity Points.
Although the system didn’t trigger any upgrade on its function, the Divinity Points he just received would allow him to upgrade his current Celestial Arts. He might even upgrade them up to their Perfect Realm!
It was a pity that he didn’t get any golden Spell Light, so he couldn’t learn any Celestial Arts right now.
“Hmm?” Vale jolted as he sensed another group of people entering his Magic Zone…
It was already two in the morning, but these people decided to gather and surround this factory.
‘So they already noticed that something was wrong?’ Vale silently thought as he counted the number of enemies.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the commander of the Blueglades Mercenaries had already arrived.
‘There are so many of them? What a big mercenary group…’ Vale frowned as he observed the enemies outside.
There were 200 of them, and all of them were Arcane Arts Practitioners! Although most of them were just beginners, it was still quite impressive that they were able to gather so many Practitioners at once.
After all, it’s not easy to find those with talents. You would need a special method to sense their potential, and it would also be tricky to find the best Arcane Path.
‘It seems that the commander of the Mercenary Group is indeed special. No wonder the other guy has so much confidence that I will be scared if he’s mentioned.’ Vale silently thought as he found the possible leader of the group.
Vale then squinted his eyes as he realized that a few police officers were also involved. It appears that even Baron Sinclair or his sons had been notified of the situation and mobilized the officials of the city.
They seem to be listening to one person whom he suspected as the commander of the Mercenary Group.
As he was about to escape, Vale recalled the revolver he put aside a while ago… He immediately took it and kept it inside his coat’s inner pocket.
Although it’s not a Mystical Item, he wanted to have it just in case he needed it. He then looked outside with his Divine Sense once more and confirmed that there were many Elementalist, Shaman, Knights, and Combat Artists outside.
The Suspected Leader was a Mystic Arts Practitioner as expected. Vale could tell that he could win against this leader if they fought one-on-one, but the problem was that he probably wouldn’t survive if hundreds of Arcanists attacked him on all sides.
His Spell Dispersion may help him block a few volleys of attacks, but it still has a cooldown, and he wouldn’t be able to maintain such a powerful spell for a prolonged period.
His physical strength and incredible speed would also be useless if he received an attack that pierces his physical defense and spells that targets the surroundings.
As for his Arcane Armor, he wouldn’t want to test it against so many enemies.
Furthermore, he already felt quite tired after so many extractions and wanted to sleep. In any case, these people weren’t really his target.
He’d probably try to kill them if they really had a life-and-death grudge between them. In his mind, it was better to keep them alive so he could later find the source of those Immortal Shards.
‘Alright, let’s have a quick upgrade…’ Vale thought as he used his Divinity Points to upgrade his Divine Lightning!
[ Consume 5 Divinity Points to improve Call of the Divine Lightning? ]
Yes!
Seeing that it only requires 5 points, Vale didn’t hesitate to upgrade it. He spent a total of 75 Divinity Points to upgrade it to Level 4 or the Intermediate Realm of this Planar Spell.
He was hesitant to upgrade it further since he might fail to properly control or calculate the Spell’s strength.
He also upgraded the Shadow Mutilation Spell.
[ Consume 4 Divinity Points to improve Shadow Mutilation? ] 𝒊𝒃𝙖.𝙢
Yes!
Vale only stopped upgrading it after reaching level 6. He spent another 252 Divinity Points for this, but he felt that it was worth the price.
Lastly, Vale also upgraded the Moonlight Curse to Level 6! He spent 378 Energy Points on this, but he felt that it was necessary for his next plan.
‘They’re here…’
As soon as he felt that a group of scouts had entered the factory, Vale finally triggered his Divine Lightning…
He felt some of his Divinity Points were consumed in the process, but he ignored it for now.
Soon, dark clouds blocked the moonlight coming from the sky. The Arcanists realized that something was off as they looked above them. 𝙡𝒃𝒆𝓪.𝒎
“Is it going to rain?”
“This will be difficult… We’re not sure how many enemies are inside the warehouse. The rain might help them escape our senses.”
“Wait… I have a bad feeling about this. We need to retreat—”
As one of them was about to warn his companions, a deafening roar resounded throughout the city. A bolt of lightning struck the factory in the middle of the city!
Boom!
The lightning only struck once, but the damage was massive!
It blasted dozens of Arcanists who were caught in the area of destruction, and another dozen of them died on the spot!
They’ve been charred completely!
Everything happened so suddenly as none of them expected such a phenomenon to occur. They may have prepared for an ambush but not for a natural phenomenon like that.
The leader of the Mercenary Group was also dumbfounded.
How come they were so unlucky to be struck by lightning right now?! Isn’t this too unfair?
As he thought there might be another lightning strike, he couldn’t help but look up, only to realize that the gathering clouds had already dissipated as they were now basking in the moonlight.
It was such a weird lightning strike, as if nature was toying with them.
Many of the mercenaries and police officers heaved a sigh of relief as they also looked at the sky and the moon.
Unfortunately for them, basking in the moonlight was prohibited after receiving the Moonlight Curse!
