Chapter 292 Secrets
Charles was extremely terrified as soon as he realized that he lost control of his body.
This was something he had never experienced before. With his decades of experience, even the Forced Haunt by Shapeshifters would fail to transform him forcefully since he knows almost every counter to the Spells thrown at him.
Catching him off-guard was extremely difficult.
However, this masked man was just too weird. He was using various techniques that a Dark Spellcaster shouldn’t be capable of.
This includes the insane show of strength and speed that shouldn’t be found among Spellcasters! Nevertheless, he wasn’t too suspicious and simply thought that his enemy used Strength and Speed Boosting Spells.
However, the Arcane Armor and the Spell Disruption shouldn’t be Dark Arts. They must’ve come from his Mystical Items.
This made him confused since the masked man was doing too many things at once. He knew how difficult it was to control a powerful Mystical Item while casting Spells.
Furthermore, these Mystical Items should be at the Royal Rank, considering how it could stop his Decaying Aura from infecting his body.
The demonic mask shouldn’t have the ability to stop this Aura. Then, the man used another unknown Spell to stop his movement!
This was just too weird for him since he didn’t see any signs of Spell Activation!
After considering all these things, Charles realized that he was no match for his opponent.
As soon as he saw the masked man touching him, he felt something ominous and that his death was creeping up on him.
He had to do somethingโฆ
“โฆat this rate, the Dark Arts Faction will be eliminated by the Association! I’m doing this to ensure the continuity of our Path!”
He had no choice but to reveal his plan.
“Hmm? You’re telling me you’re doing this for the sake of the Darkness Path?” Vale asked as he paused his Extraction for a moment. ๐ก๐๐.๐ข
Vale was actually feeling excited after he saw the result of his Extraction from the Shapeshifter.
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +40 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Intelligence +0.25 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Agility +0.35 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Beast Shapeshift Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Successful. Incomplete Spell Light + 1 ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +10 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Human Shapeshift Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Voice Manipulation Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Successful. Incomplete Spell Light + 1 ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
Those three Spell Models are awesome!
He actually didn’t stop extracting and kept holding the man even after receiving a failure. He wouldn’t normally do this since the Extraction could take some time.
However, since he was just holding the guy, he didn’t mind continuing with the Extraction until he failed the third time.
He felt that he was really lucky today, so he wanted to extract this old man as he might get something decent.
It might even be better if he gets a Spell Model that he already has so he would no longer spend some Energy Points to increase their level.
However, the old man said something very interesting, so he decided to stop and listen. Even if he was simply trying to buy some time, Vale felt it might be important since the old man was now desperate.
“What did you just say?” Vale asked while his Shadow Mutilation was active.
Of course, he couldn’t hold him for long. He could only do this for 60 seconds, so he would end his life if this old man didn’t give him a satisfying answer. If possible, he would extract him to death!
There was no way he would let this old thing live after doing that to his friend. Philip may not have visible injuries, but he definitely suffered in this dungeon.
“I’m telling the truth! At this rate, the Association would gather all the powerful Factions to team up once again to destroy the Dark Arts Faction! I had no choice but to change the Faction from the inside, but I got exposed by that Jean after I invited him! He made me a criminal even though I just wanted to ensure that we wouldn’t get into another war!” Charles said in exasperation.
“What does it do with Philip?” Vale asked. He didn’t really care if the Association attacked the Dark Arts Faction. As a matter of fact, he was also curious why they were just allowing the Dark Arts Academy to kill people in their recruitment process! That was actually terrible!
He thought that the Association didn’t care at all.
“Philip? He’s important! He has the perfect physique to be the best item! With his great talent, he would be one of our best Mystical Artifacts! Perhaps, we could make a Sovereign Rank item out of him! Don’t you have that Mask and Dagger? They’re both made from the best Elementalists that dared to oppose their Faction. They’re incomplete, but they’re definitely strong, right?!”
Vale was stunned and couldn’t speak after hearing this.
This was something he had never expected at all.
‘They’re creating Mystical Artifacts from other Practitioners?’ Vale clenched his fist as he realized the dark side of the Arcane Path once again.
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm his raging heart. Indeed, an evil cult really exists in this world.
It was a good thing that he learned it this early.
“So it was like thatโฆ Do you have anything else to say?” Vale coldly asked.
The Dark Aura that was spilling out of his body was getting denser, and he wasn’t noticing it at all.
This time, Charles could tell that the young man didn’t understand him.
He was like Jean Hoffman, who didn’t understand the importance of being loyal to the Association!
“You don’t understand! The Dark Arts Faction is not a match against the three opposing Factions! If you include the two Churches aiming to destroy them, you’ll know that changing the Faction’s view is better!”
Vale shook his head at this. He already knows that the Dark Arts Faction was wanted by other Factions and Churches.
It was obvious, considering how they could disregard human lives at some point. Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that those other factions are better. ๐.๐๐ข
This man just admitted that they were using humans to create Mystical Artifacts!
Vale already had enough so he started his Extraction.
