Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 427 Sword Technique



Chapter 427 Sword Technique

After more than 6 minutes of battle, Carlston summoned all his strength and unleashed a devastating blow with his Bone Spear.

This Bone Spear was one of the Branch-Exclusive Spells that he learned in the Necromancy Branch alongside Corpse Explosion and Corpse Animation.

At the moment, it had already reached the early stage of the Intermediate Realm!

Boom!

With a resounding crack, one of the Savage Golems stumbled under the force of the attack… Its left knee joint was crushed! It was almost reduced to a pile of rubble under its own weight.

Nevertheless, Carlston did a quick work on it by letting his remaining Ghoul tear it apart.

The remaining golem, now outnumbered and weakened, faced the relentless onslaught of the Flesh Ghouls and Storm Wraiths.

In a final coordinated assault, the combined forces of Carlston and his summoned allies overwhelmed the remaining golem.

With a thunderous crash, the second Savage Golem fell, defeated in less than 8 minutes.

The crowd erupted with thunderous applause and cheers, as they didn’t care if Carlston was a Dark Practitioner at this moment. They enjoyed the exciting battle, and that was what they wanted to see…

Exhausted but elated, Carlston stood victorious… He could only hope that this was enough for him to reach at least the third place in the event to get a score for the Academy.

“The students of the Vermont Academy were quite formidable this year.” Kate Duffey muttered,her voice filled with a mix of admiration and competitive spirit.

She’s a sixth-year student in the Knights Academy, and she couldn’t help but feel that the Dark Arts Academy this year was different from what she heard from the seniors.

“Indeed… They even dominated the Fourth-Year’s Labyrinth…” Geraldine replied, her tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.

“Haha… I heard about how they set a record in that Labyrinth… I guess you guys are unlucky…” Kate retorted playfully, a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

“Hmph… The same thing won’t happen in the Tower Ascension and the Duel…” Geraldine responded confidently. After all, she wasn’t really able to show her skills in the first two contests of their batch.

“That’s the right attitude. Don’t feel pressured…” Kate encouraged, offering a supportive smile.

Soon, the time came for Kate to step onto the stage, her name echoing through the coliseum.

With a deep breath, she focused her mind, ready to face the two Savage Golems.

Geraldine, filled with admiration for her senior, cheered loudly, silently praying that Kate would achieve an even faster record than Carlston.

Simultaneously, her gaze shifted to Vale’s side, determination burning in her eyes as she resolved to surpass them in the upcoming competitions.

However, Vale seemed to have sensed her gaze as he looked at her with curious eyes…

‘Ahh…’ Geraldine quickly shifted her gaze in reaction…

‘Ugh… Why did I look away like I was guilty? I should’ve stared at him and waited for him to look away instead… Tsk…’ Geraldine thought in frustration.

In the end, she decided not to look at him anymore.

As the battle commenced, Kate’s concentration sharpened, her eyes locked on the towering Savage Golems before her.

Drawing upon her mastery of enhancement spells, she swiftly cast a series of spells as she drew her sword.

‘Eight minutes, huh… I need to finish this in less than 7 minutes to win!’ 𝘳.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Knights like her could also use ranged Spells, but she still likes the old Enhancement Spells since they were a lot easier to augment in her battle style.

With a flash of light, Kate fortified herself, her body infused with an ethereal glow that enhanced her strength and resilience. Empowered by her spell, she dashed forward, her speed surpassing that of the golems.

As their massive fists swung toward her, Kate invoked a protective shield, deflecting the blows with ease.

Seizing the opportunity, Kate unleashed a powerful blast of energy from her sword, channeling her magical prowess into a devastating attack. The golems staggered under the force of the blast, their stony exteriors showing signs of wear.

Sensing their vulnerability, Kate swiftly followed up with a swift and precise slash, directing her enchanted blade toward the golems’ weak points.

At this moment, Kate already used her Fortify, Dash, Shield, Blast, and Slash… A total of five spells.

Kate then released a strong fluctuation of energy as she continued her relentless assault, her spells and strikes harmonizing with her sword style, the Eight Wave Sword Technique.

With each successful spell and strike, the golems’ defenses crumbled further, their once formidable presence diminishing.

‘How long was it? Is it five minutes already? Tsk… I need to hurry!’ Kate silently thought as she could see the golems started weakening.

As the battle continued, Kate summoned all her remaining energy, pouring it into one final, awe-inspiring strike…

It was the eighth strike of her Eight Wave Sword Technique! She even imbued it with her Blast Spell!

Boom!

With a blinding explosion, the golems shattered into a cascade of debris, defeated by Kate’s sword skills.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, their cheers echoing throughout the coliseum…

“Impressive… Was that sword technique all learned by the students of the Knights Academy?” Vale muttered after seeing the battle end.

He couldn’t help but be captivated by the sword style that Kate had demonstrated.

Vale had honed his sword techniques and even mastered the Shadowblade Dance, a technique he had extracted from the Dark Soul Tower. In short, his expertise allowed him to discern the quality and effectiveness of various sword styles.

Observing Kate’s fluid sword movements, Vale could tell that her technique was exceptional. It possessed effectiveness and precision that spoke of countless hours of training and dedication.

“Mhmm… I don’t think so…” Maya replied, her voice tinged with contemplation.

“The Sword Technique she used was different from the other Knights I’ve seen. Perhaps they also have different branches like our Academy.”

Vale nodded thoughtfully…

“That made sense…”

“Why? Do you want to learn their sword technique?” Maya teased.

“Haha… Vale, I know you have a sword, but you’re a Spellcaster… To be exact, a Ritualist. I don’t think that a sword would be appropriate in the long run.” Crystal commented.
