Chapter 638 Escape
Since Faith was busy studying his Temporal Timepiece, she didn’t mind renting her Space Ring to Vale.
Well, this item actually surprised Vale a lot, considering how big the space it had as well. According to Faith, it could even fit a Civilian Airship!
That was certainly impressive so Vale knew that he would have no issue taking half of the treasures here.
After some thought, he decided to use his Darkness Manipulation Spell to grab half of gold coins, jewels, and crystals, but he took all the Magic Scrolls. He also didn’t forget the Immortal Shards and various Spirit Pearls.
As for the numerous Runic and Magic Weapons, he decided not to take them since he doesn’t have an army anyway. He didn’t need a bunch of weapons since they would just gather dust in his collection.
He then turned his attention to the two mysterious Magic Artifacts, the Grimoire and the Mask. He wanted to take them, as they seemed to be the most important items here.
But as he reached for them, he encountered a problem.
‘Formation Art? No… It feels different.’ Vale mused as he squinted his eyes.
After a moment of thought, he tried taking them again, and this time, he decided to use his Moonlight Specter…
Whom~
As they tried to get closer, the Moonlight Specter started disappearing without them being able to do so even after they tried moving away.
‘So it was like that…’ Vale gently nodded as he closed his eyes.
Just now, he used his Dragon’s True Sight to see what was going on.
Apparently, the Grimoire and the Mask weren’t just protected by a powerful Formation Art and mysterious Runes, which were somehow hidden from his Rune Analysis Spell.
The items possessed a self-protective mechanism, actively shielding themselves from intrusion!
If the Moonlight Specters didn’t back off and tried to touch the items, there would even be a strong Formation Art that would activate!
However, if Vale couldn’t touch these items, he couldn’t send them to his Space Ring!
‘Let’s just do this quickly… I got everything I wanted anyway…’ Vale thought as he took a deep breath before enacting his plan.
He couldn’t extract the mysterious energy surrounding the items; he would have to take them by brute force!
Vale covered himself with his Arcane Armor before he released his Spell Dispersion!
As he moved forward, he realized that the Spell Dispersion didn’t do anything!
As he got closer, the two items released a blast of Arcane Energy, that pushed him back.
It also triggered an alarm that alerted the remaining royal guards.
If the king hadn’t escaped yet, he must be rushing to this place right now!
He quickly recovered from the blast, and looked at the Grimoire and the Mask. He saw that they were still intact, and that they were still within his reach.
Nevertheless, he also saw that the Formation Art had been exposed and that he could see its weakness. The gold coin that he thought was just a random coin that was thrown in this direction was actually the core of the formation!
He forcefully touched the coin and activated his Divine Extraction System!
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
“Yes!”
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +200 ]
…
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +100 ]
Just like that, he extracted the energy from Formation Art and the mysterious runes that were linked together.
Soon, he saw the Formation Art fade, and the Grimoire and the Mask lose their strongest protection.
This time, when Vale tried grabbing the Grimoire…
Bam!
He still received a strong resistance but it was no longer enough to push him back! It was the same with the Mask, and they were obviously protesting against him for being their new owner!
It was as if these items were sentient!
‘Interesting…’ Vale thought as he noticed that these items seemed to possess some behavior that other artifacts do not.
Nevertheless, Vale had to hurry, so he quickly put them inside his Space Ring!
Then, he prepared to escape from the treasury since knew that the alarm had alerted the royal guards, and that they would soon arrive.
He had to get out of there fast and avoid being seen. Although he could probably deal with them, he would feel awful if there were witnesses in his robbery!
He then used his Transformation Art: Morph, to change his appearance to become a different person…
Vale then used his Presence Shift Spell to warp to a different location. He wanted to teleport to the nearest exit, and to flee from the palace.
Since his Magic Zone was still working perfectly, he clearly knew where to go.
But as he activated his spell, he felt a strong resistance.
“Mhmm? Anti-Magic?” Vale muttered, but he immediately shook his head.
He could still use his other Spells, and he even used the Moonlight Specters a while ago.
Vale then looked around for a moment, and through his Dragon’s True Sight, he sensed a mysterious Magic Circle that was placed underground the palace.
It seemed to be Formation Art, that blocked space warping It was a nice trap, that prevented any robbers from silently disappearing within the castle.
‘As expected… This castle is decent…’ Vale mused as he looked for another way out.
Then, he saw a window that led to the outside. Without hesitation, he decided to break the window, and to jump out.
As he ran towards the window, he noticed the runic markings on them, so he decided to smash it with his Ethereal Vampiric Fist! 𝒊𝒃𝙖.𝙢
Bang!
The window was destroyed effortlessly, and as Vale jumped, he used his Darkness Manipulation Spell to create a cushion of darkness, and to soften his fall.
As he landed on the ground, he imagined that he would have to roll to reduce the impact, but it seemed that his strength made it easy for him to absorb the impact.
Then, Vale looked around and saw the palace walls, and the city streets. He also saw the rebel forces and the royal forces. 𝒊𝒆.
There was still chaos going on, so he took his chance to escape.
He ran towards a place where the anti-space warping magic circle and used his Presence Shift Spell.
Before disappearing, he looked at the Marquis’ hidden airship and thought. ‘I hope you don’t mind me taking those treasures…’
