Chapter 536 Lesson
The Torrent Squad, under the leadership of Leonel, was initially confused by the sudden event, but soon discerned what was happening.
“Which Faction’s Order do you represent?” Leonel inquired, his tone was concerned for the two.
“This creature possesses the ability to absorb energy, so exercise caution. Anything less than a Tier 2 peak-grade Intermediate Realm Spell won’t have any effect on it.” He added, issuing a solemn reminder to the couple while gesturing for his team to withdraw.
Despite their formidable reputation as the city’s preeminent squad, they harbored a keen awareness of the existence of official Arcanists whose prowess surpassed their own. With the arrival of these mysterious individuals, Leonel recognized the need to yield the field.
In response, Eustace wordlessly displayed the Summoning Book clasped in his hands, conveying a contrived message to Leonel, who astutely interpreted the gesture and promptly led his team away from the scene.
Meanwhile, Denise narrowed her eyes as she observed Eustace’s figure.
A sense of familiarity washed over her as she caught Lotus scrutinizing the enigmatic man intently.
Nevertheless, despite the inexplicable connection she felt with him, Denise chose to depart with her team, allowing the two newcomers the opportunity to confront Gluttony.

As the Torrent Squad made their exit, the confrontation between Eustace and Gluttony erupted in immediately.
Eustace unfurled his Grimoire, indicating an imminent summoning, only to invoke instead the Spell he had extracted from Aersus – the Dragon’s Water Domain Spell.
This formidable spell was more than a mere means of manipulating water, serving also to establish his dominion over the battlefield, granting him enhanced efficacy in wielding a diverse array of Spells and Arcane Arts within his newly claimed territory.
Empowered by this advantage, Eustace anticipated a more favorable engagement with his adversary.
Subsequently, he unleashed the Fusion Spell, Moonlight Specter, further showcasing his formidable prowess.
The Moonlight Specter was meant to gauge the strength of the Gluttony, so when it was immediately absorbed by the Gluttony’s embrace before it could even show its full might, Eustace didn’t mind it.
‘I expected it to die, but that wa s still quite quick… This creature is amazing.’ Eustace commented.
“Keke! You’re using Spells from different paths… and that draconic essence you’re oozing out. Interesting! So I’m dealing with a descendant of the Dragon!” The entity, identified by Yvaine as Gluttony, spoke with a laugh.
Eustace responded with a wry smile as he contemplated the creature’s words.
“Descendant of the Dragon?” Eustace smirked.
‘This entity seemed like an idiot. I should’ve used my Stormbringer instead.’ Eustace mused as he realized how the entity was still incapable of sensing his Half-Celestial Physique. Well, it can be considered a legendary physique even though it was only partial, so it shouldn’t be that surprising.
Nevertheless, compared to the previous powerful Arcanists and Creatures he encountered, this entity shouldn’t be at the top in terms of strength.
‘The only challenge with this Gluttony is its formidable power of absorption. I wonder whose power will prevail, my Extraction System or its overwhelming absorption abilities?’ Eustace pondered as he looked at Gluttony.
Both of them wielded abilities of equivalent potency – Eustace possessed the Extraction System, while Gluttony harnessed the formidable power of Consumption or Absorption. .𝒎
“Hahaha! If you’re not, then prove me wrong… Or you’ll just disappear like your Specter!”
Gluttony said as he made a brazen attempt to absorb Eustace’s energy.
“Give me everything you have!” Gluttony declared as he eyed Eustace’s power as a Descendant of the Dragon and Practitioner of Dark Arts.
“Fine… Let’s see who will succumb.” Simultaneously, Eustace deftly activated his Darkness Manipulation and triggered his Extraction System, striving to counteract Gluttony’s power.
Gluttony was momentarily surprised as he realized that he hadn’t immediately absorbed the energy that was coming out of Eustace.
After all, he had never failed to extract arcane energy and life force ever since he possessed Theodore.
“Interesting… If this is all you’ve got, then you two will be my food for today!” Gluttony shouted as the intensity of his absorption heightened.
In the meantime, Constance just smiled after hearing his words as she continued holding the Divine Crystal in her hands and using it to empower that untraceable barrier she had made to suppress the Gluttony’s aura.
As for Eustace, he was amazed by how his Divine Extraction System was acting!
The extraction was so slow and weak!

It wasn’t doing well at all, considering he was also feeling that Gluttony was absorbing what he was taking from him.
Whom~
As their special abilities clashed, a struggle of similar force unfolded, each of them fiercely vying for supremacy.
At this time, Eustace’s Extraction System seemed just barely to overpower the Gluttony’s absorption. However, he could also tell that the enemy wasn’t using its full strength yet.
‘It can’t continue like this… This Gluttony seemed better than I expected.’ Eustace thought, but he wasn’t worried at all.
He was even excited since it meant that his Extraction Power might actually get stronger once he had taken the power of Gluttony.
For now, he sought to nullify Gluttony’s insidious advances.
However, Eustace was not alone in this struggle. 𝘪𝑎.
He had the support of his Dark Spirit, and aided by Constance. He also possessed the means to invoke his Grimoire and call forth his formidable Four-Abilities Summon.
As Eustace contemplated summoning his Three-Tailed Fox to shift the tide of battle in his favor, he was unexpectedly greeted by Constance’s voice echoing in his mind.
“Use your divinity… Employ the special ability of your celestial body! It seems you’re attempting to absorb the strength of Gluttony. I can sense it. But you must infuse it with divinity to amplify its potency! You have the capability. You can achieve this.”
