624 Confusion
“They’re finally here…” Gale murmured as she caught sight of the imposing merchant airship making its approach toward the town they were staying at.
Although it was already 5 in the afternoon, it was still not too late to enact their plans.
Without delay, she rallied her team, preparing to rendezvous with the incoming Airship.
“Wait… Do not reveal yourselves just yet, or you might startle them. We need them to disembark first. We can’t let them escape as we need their assistance to escort us to that enigmatic castle.” Gale cautioned before vanishing from view.
Meanwhile, Denise opted to remain inconspicuous in the town square, confident in her unassuming guise.
Aside from wearing an attire befitting the townsfolk, she also concealed Lotus to ensure that not any Arcanist could sense her presence.
As the merchant airship descended in proximity to their town, Denise followed the crowd.
She had Lotus suppress her aura as a Dark Arcanist, rendering her virtually undetectable to conventional means, albeit at the cost of her ability to enter her Phantasm State.
Nevertheless, she didn’t mind being unable to use her Magic Zone temporarily to ensure her safety.
Amidst the bustling crowd gathered to witness the arrival of the envoys from the mysterious castle, Denise’s attention was captivated as she caught sight of none other than Vale Chambers.
The young man exuded a noble air, adorned in elegant attire befitting his distinguished demeanor. Without a shadow of a doubt, it was her friend…
‘He’s really here… Did he become a servant working for that castle?’
“Is he connected to the Masked Devil Incarnate?” Denise pondered momentarily before resolving to tell Vale of Gale Evans’ plans.
She immediately asked Lotus to stop the suppression and entered her Magic Zone. Then, she swiftly activated her telepathy to convey a crucial message to Vale.
“Vale, it’s good to see you alive… Have you risen to nobility? No, what I meant to say is that Gale Evans, a Professor from your Academy, is seeking you and your companions. She’s concealed nearby and likely recognizes your group, especially if your friends are students from the Vermont Academy.”

In the meantime, as soon as Vale and his group disembarked from the Airship, he had his Magic Zone immediately cover the entire town.
After all, his ESP Spell noticed something unusual.
As soon as his Magic Zone picked up a few Arcanists, he immediately put up his guard and informed his team.
The last city they visited only had a handful of Arcanists who weren’t in the Combat Arts Path.
However, this city had 20 of them in total!
It was definitely unusual!
Nevertheless, they still remained calm and didn’t show that they noticed.
As they were about to meet the town mayor, Vale heard Denise’s message.
“Whoa! I didn’t sense you until you sent the message… Ah, thank you for letting me know. I don’t think they mean harm to us for now. But if they do, we’ll take care of it. Let’s talk later, Denise.” Vale replied through telepathy.
To be fair, Vale killed the Order of the Evanescent Vessels members, so he didn’t feel comfortable being with other official Dark Arcanists.
‘Did she come here to find Chad and Lisa like Miss Faith? Or did she discover that I killed those Vessels?’ Vale thought as he believed that even though he made it seem like it was done by a flying red goblin, he couldn’t guarantee that no one would be able to see through it.
‘Whatever… Let’s see what they’ll do…’ Vale silently thought as as he allowed Lisa and Chad to complete the transaction with the mayor.
This will be their last destination, so he was thinking of checking out the town to find a place where the four of them could eat… 𝙡𝓪.𝒄𝙢
‘Well, if Gale causes trouble, we may not even have the time to eat.’ Vale thought as he observed the surroundings.
It was only at this time that he realized that the town was undergoing some large construction or repair of the buildings.
After a few more observations, he realized that a fire must’ve occurred in the place.
As Vale started walking around, several vendors started selling their products or food.
To his surprise, he didn’t find any of the Artifacts with a sinister curse in this place!
‘Did Gale and the others notice them?’ Vale mused as he continued walking around.
Finally, as he thought of returning to the Airship, Gale finally showed herself.
“You’re not brainwashed or being controlled by a Spell at all… I’m curious: why are you working for the Alchemist on that castle?” Gale suddenly asked behind Vale.
Vale didn’t even have the chance to turn his head when he felt something hitting him… He wasn’t sure if it was a Spell, a form of energy, or a Magic Artifact’s power, but Vale believed that it was Gale’s unusual power that could compel anyone to follow her commands.
This time, however, Vale had been prepared, and he was protected not just by his Half-Celestial Physique but also by the Divinity that he controlled.
Although Pearl was no longer personally teaching him how to control or apply his Divinity, he was still continuously practicing it, especially now that he had a source of Divinity Points.
“So this is the trick that had previously rendered me powerless…” Vale contemplated, as he turned to address Professor Gale Evans.
“I thought you weren’t planning to show up. Professor Evans.”
“Mhmm? You’re not affected. I guess you’ve really grown up. However, that’s not important for now. Aren’t you the Masked Devil Incarnate? The problem with the Church had escalated earlier than we anticipated. We will be taking the Divine Sword for now, and it will be protected by the Featherstar Clan.”
As soon as she said this, her voice echoed inside Vale’s head as the surroundings seemed to twist and contort…
However, this sensation only lasted for a brief second before Vale’s dizzying vision returned to normal.
His Perfect Incorruptible Body was triggered, and his abnormal status was removed!
After he comprehended the situation, Vale fixed his gaze on the Professor and uttered in a somber tone.
“That’s dangerous, Professor Evans…”
