Novel Full Chapter 288 Infiltrate
The Shadow Soldier that Vale summoned was from his own shadow. Since this Spell had already reached the Advanced Realm, he could summon three of them at the same time, but he didn’t do it yet.
“So you can recognize this Spell… I wonder why you guys betrayed the Faction and attacked the Academy. You even hurt and kidnapped innocent children.”
Vale replied as he watched the two summon their Vengeful Spirits. He didn’t stop them from casting their spells as he was also trying to do something.
“You think we should obey the Faction just because we’re practicing the same Arcane Path?! Hmph! You don’t have to know the reason. You’re about to die anyway.”
“Haha… That’s right. Since the Academy had sent someone here, I’m sure there will be others like you who would stupidly come here without preparation. You probably received a mission in exchange for Contribution Points. It’s a pity that everything you’ve accumulated would be gone today.”
Vale nodded at their answer as he realized that they were indeed aware of how the Academy works. Nevertheless, they were still wrong about one thing.
“Since you know that I’m from the Academy… There’s no point keeping you alive.” Vale said as his body started oozing a black aura without his notice.
With a wave of his hand, the Shadow Soldier that he summoned dashed forward… The two Dark Magicians used the Summoned Spirit to black this lone Soldier and also used their Spectral Hands to attack Vale.
However, Vale triggered his Shadow Soldier once again, and this time, he used the shadow of the two men.
To Vale’s surprise, the Shadow Soldiers beside the two looked more intimidating than the one he summoned on his side.
They were taller, had broader shoulders, and had more extended claws.
Vale found this interesting since he initially thought that the Shadow Soldier would look all the same if summoned by the same Spellcaster.
“Aaackk”
“Y-you… You have an Advanced Spell?!”
The two were caught off guard as they didn’t expect a young man like him to have an Advanced Realm Spell at such a young age. Furthermore, this Spell was something that only 8th or 10th-year students would learn!
It doesn’t make sense that he has already reached the pinnacle of this spell at such a young age!
‘Not good…’ They both released their control with their Vengeful Spirits. The Spirit would not vanish, but it would become uncontrollable by the caster. In the end, these Spirits saw Vale’s Shadow Soldier close to them, so even without their instructions, they attacked the Soldier with their Bale Aura and Evil Screech.
“Tsk! This is too annoying.” One of the Dark Magicians said as he could tell that the Shadow Solider that was summoned using their shadows had mutated to some extent.
They weren’t expecting a melee battle against these Shadow Soldiers!
Luckily, they still have vast experience, so after being hit by the Shadow Soldiers’ claws a couple of times, they managed to push them away and use their Movement Techniques to get some distance.
They were injured, but they could still use their spells.
They weren’t using Darkness Manipulation but they had access to other impressive Dark Spells like Darkness Coil, Spectral Hands, Gloom Force, and Rotting Chains.
The two Dark Magicians fought against the Shadow Soldier, and they were impressively overpowering the Shadow Soldier after a few rounds. 𝙖.𝒄
It was unfortunate that the Soldiers excelled with Physical Attacks, so the two Arcanists were able to deal with them after a few rounds of exchanges.
As expected from his fellow Dark Arts Practitioners, they know how to handle other Dark Arts Practitioners.
Nevertheless, the Soldiers allowed Vale to finish his preparations.
Boom!
Vale’s stomped on the ground to give him the momentum he needed to arrive next to the two.
They noticed his actions, and instead of being scared, they actually laughed at Vale.
“Haha! You’re dead!
“Idiot! Dashing forward like that…”
They looked down on Vale as they had set up a trap specifically for people who would look down on Spellcasters like them.
However, to their surprise, the young masked man seemed to be covered by invisible armor and destroyed their traps with brute force!
“No way… This is Aura…”
“W-what’s going on—”
The two were too surprised by Vale’s sudden burst of Aura as they allowed the weakened Shadow Soldier to counterattack!
In the blink of an eye, the two Dark Magicians were pierced by the claws. They were already dying the moment Vale touched them…
[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
‘Yes…’ Vale answered as he waited for the extraction to finish.
Honestly, he couldn’t control the Aura he used to bypass the traps since he only had the passive Spell Model, Meridian Access.
Nevertheless, this didn’t stop him from bursting with Aura, thanks to this Spell Model.
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Intelligence +0.55 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Agility +0.75 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Spectral Hand Spell Model. ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
“Ahhh…”
Vale paused for a moment after seeing the Spectral Hands Spell Model being extracted.
He already has the Ghost Hands, so having the Spectral Hands would be too redundant. However, he also felt that this might be quite interesting if in case he could summon numerous Hands.
After all, the Ghost Hands were supposed to be used just like an extension of hands to make tasks a lot easier. They weren’t meant for combat but were more inclined to be used for crafting or light duties.
‘Ugh… I can’t waste my time thinking about this.’ Vale said in his mind as he decided to just accept the Spell Model.
He then tried extracting the other Dark Magician and got a decent result.
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Strength +0.45 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Vitality +0.25 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Darkness Coil Spell Model. ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
Again, he didn’t want to overthink and just accepted it as is.
He also stopped himself from doing focused Extraction since that requires time to be triggered.
With this in mind, Vale gave the two to Yvaine since she’ll need plenty of strength later on.
He then continued to head towards Philip. At this time, his senses could tell that two people were approaching him in his dungeon or prison.
He had to hurry!
