Novel Full Chapter 305 Ritual
Zach stiffened after hearing what Vale had just said. From the way he looks, he could tell that Vale was being serious about this.
However, he also noticed something.
‘Wait… Did he really sense my probing Spells? Even the Professors here would barely notice anything after I probed them with my Spirit Vision. How did this kid—’
“Senior, you know that it’s impolite to suddenly use your Spell without their knowledge even if it’s not harmful to the target.” As Vale said this, he immediately summoned Yvaine, his Dark Spirit. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Yvaine had gotten a lot stronger perhaps because she had secretly absorbed a part of the Divine Sword’s power inside her. Her cold and deathly aura emanated throughout the whole laboratory and her Darkness Cloak seemed like a huge mantle waving through the wind.
‘This…’
Zach’s face turned serious as soon as he saw this Dark Spirit. Dark Spirits weren’t commonly seen but for a Captain of the Alchemy Division, he certainly had many chances to meet them.
At the very least, he had seen over a dozen of them, and all of them have one common thing. They are all aggressive and difficult to control. They can do complicated instructions but they would compensate with their combat ability and power.
Nevertheless, the one in front of him was different. When he looked at the female spirit, she was emanating hostility but also intelligence.
That’s right… There was a light in her eyes that made Zach shudder. Those eyes weren’t something he could find in other Dark Spirits!
As soon as she stared at him, he was instantly frozen…
Of course, Vale was aware that Yvaine’s Deathly Gaze wouldn’t last for long since her opponent was still a strong Dark Alchemist with a high Spirit Strand.
The moment Zach was caught in surprise, he swiftly used his Ghost Hands and experimented on him…
In the blink of an eye, one of his Ghost Hands appeared and touched Zach’s shoulder.
“Stop!”
Perhaps, Vale’s action was too aggressive so Elena, who had been secretly watching everything, could no longer resist as she appeared in between the two.
“Student Vale, I know that my Captain offended you. However, it’s not appropriate to attack him because of that. If he really wanted to harm you, he would simply ask the Order’s Curse Experts to curse you with the hair we found on your desk. Furthermore, Captain Zach didn’t even activate his defensive spells to show that he’s unwilling to fight.” Elena immediately explained as she covered her with Dark Energy. It is to protect herself from the Dark Spirit’s gaze.
“I understand, Senior. I’m not planning to harm him either.” Vale replied as he rectracted his Ghost Hands and ordered Yvaine to return to his shadow.
Just now, he tried triggering his system when his Ghost Hands touched Zach.
Unfortunately, his system didn’t acknowledge this contact, and the Extraction System was not triggered.
‘Is it really impossible to do some touchless Extraction?’ Vale mused as he ignored the woman in front of him.
Extracting numerous people was quite an exhausting process since he had to move and touch his target until the process was over. Doing it a few times may be tolerable but for a hundredth time, it could be quite exhausting and dull repeating the same process over and over again.
This is why he had been trying to deepen his connection with his Ghost Hands and hopefully use them as his hands’ extension when he needed to extract people.
‘Perhaps I still lack enough practice? Should I consider trying this out in the town? No one would be able to see my Ghost Hand if they can’t enter their Magic Zone anyway…’
Vale felt that this was a good idea so he decided to just end this farce. He also had to quickly finish his experiment with his Holy Water, after all.
“Alright, Seniors from the Order’s Alchemy Division… Please stop using your Probing Spells on me again. If you try it again after this warning, I won’t just report it to the Headmaster but I’ll also act myself to ensure you won’t be able to do it again.” Vale finally said as he returned to his experiment.
Zach, who was finally able to react, clenched his fist in frustration as he looked at Vale with a hint of disappointment.
‘Tsk… It might cost me a lot but I have no choice but to get someone who can fairly test Vale for me. I’m sure he has a unique physique that made Sir Heinz accept him as a disciple… However, I need Vale to cooperate if I want to study his physique.’
As he reached this thought, he turned his back and left the laboratory without a thought.
Elena apologized to Vale once again before following her captain outside.
Vale, on the other hand, didn’t glance at them as he continued doing what he was needs to do.
It took him almost two hours of experimentation before he felt satisfied and kept his Modified Healing Water.
‘Mhmm…. Not bad. Do I actually have talent in Alchemy?’ Vale thought to himself as he left the laboratory.
Based on the aura he saw using his Spirit Vision, the Healing Water should last for at least 5 days before its power dissipates.
Well, all potions that are made through Spells or mostly made of ritual and formation, wouldn’t have a long lifespan. They would dissipate quickly and it’s the same for Vale’s Healing Water that was made using the Blessed Healing Spell.
However, after some adjustments to what he recently learned in their Alchemy Class, he managed to increase his Healing Water’s lifespan by 2 more days.
As soon as he returned to his dorm, he thought of taking a shower to refresh himself but he suddenly felt the Divine Sword!
‘Not good!’
Vale quickly moved as he shouldn’t be sensing the aura of the Divine Sword in the first place! He locked the door of his room and went to check the Divine Sword that was about out to burst with energy…
“Yvaine… Suppress it for a bit. I just need 20 seconds!” Vale commanded.
Yvaine swiftly acted while Vale immediately moved his bed.
Underneath his bed was a formation circle, similar to the one he was using in the Animus Haven Hall.
After that, he carried the sword that was being suppressed and placed it at the center of the Formation Circle.
As soon as he signaled Yvaine to stop suppressing the sword, Vale immediately started the Sealing Ritual.
“Hallowed Spirit, the ruler below the Eternal Darkness, hear my voice in my time of need
Lead me so I can bring darkness into my encumbrance…
I request this of you with true devotion… Empower me with your glorious soul.
Seal this Mystical Item with your unlighted flame!”
