Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 765 The Three Elders



Chapter 765 The Three Elders

?”This… All three of you learned Necromancy? Interesting.” Kyle muttered as it was one of the Dark Arts Branch that he had not focused on.

He only had Corpse Explosion and couldn’t even summon any Undead Creatures.

Anyway, Kyle watched as the phantoms of warriors in the long past took shape, their weapons forged from the darkness of the world of the dead.

The necromancers’ power was certainly incredible. Furthermore, these three are Half-Immortals, so the Undead they summoned weren’t simple!

Whoosh~

Just like that, the three elders only took mere seconds before a dark tide that threatened to engulf all in its path appeared!

“Are you ready?” Sade asked with a smirk on his face. He was certainly confident with their combined strength.

Yet, Kyle stood firm, his mysterious smile never wavering.

He was actually quite excited to fight against Necromancers!

“You summoned Undead Creatures as your ally, but these beings hold no sway over me.”

Sade’s eyes narrowed. “Then let us test your mettle, young immortal. Attack!”

The undead horde surged forward, and a wave of aura similar to despair and decay followed them!

“Hu~”

Kyle took a deep breath as he watched the undead creatures move forward, and many of them were still coming out of the ground!

Indeed! The ground itself seemed to groan and split, giving birth to the most fearsome undead warriors!

From the chasms of darkness rode forth the Abyss Knights. Their armor was dark, from which no light could escape! Their mounts were also spectral beasts with eyes similar to those of smoldering coals!

These beasts snorted with a contempt for the living that chilled the air around them. They weren’t threatened at the sight of their enemy at all!

‘Ho~ Abyss Knights… Let’s see how strong they are.’ Kyle thought as he could tell that these Abyss Knights were stronger than the ones he was able to summon through the Grimoire.

Anyway, among the ranks marched the Death Knight. There were dozens of them!

Their surprisingly untainted armor clanked with a rhythm that mimicked the heartbeat of the damned!

‘Did they train these Death Knights to march like that? They’re so organized…’ Kyle couldn’t help but remark in his mind. It was certainly impressive as he recalled Denise’s androids!

What was even more surprising was that they were all carrying rune-carved greatswords!

The Mummy Lords had also shown themselves from their ancient crypts, their bandages inscribed with ancient curses.

They raised their scepters, channeling the ghostly energies of forgotten epochs, and the air around them seemed to be filled with toxic energy!

Aside from that, Kyle saw Specter Warriors.

They were barely visible, but with the glint of their ethereal armor, Kyle was able to observe them easily.

They moved with a silence that was more terrifying than any war cry. They were also carrying ghostly blades that were leaving trails of frost in their wake.

Riding alongside them were the Spirit Warriors, their translucent forms also glowed as they all looked at Kyle, their target.

Of course, many other Undead Creatures have appeared.

They were Wraith Commanders, Banshee Queens, Lich Enforcers, and the most numerous Undead, the Shadow Revenants…

“Hahaha! Very well! Show me what you got!”

Kyle drew his Rift Blade once more, its edge gleaming with a light that seemed to pierce the veil of death itself. The three elders noticed his blade and knew that it wouldn’t be easy for the Undead alone.

An artifact that could cut through space was just too much.

The three looked at each other as they knew what they had to do before Kyle could attack their summoned Undead.

“Not so quick, young immortal.”

Morganna chanted a spell of binding, attempting to shackle Kyle with chains of shadow.

But Kyle’s agility was unmatched; he slipped through the bonds like water, and his blade even broke several ethereal links she created.

“Stay here!”

Gavriel’s incantations brought forth a giant, a colossus of bone that towered over the battlefield. Its steps shook the earth, and it wasn’t a giant that fights offensively, but with its tough bones, it could trap its target and force it to fight in a tight space!

‘What’s this?’

This was the first time that Kyle had seen such a summon. It was like a moving bone prison!

He tried to get away with his Presence Shift but Sade disrupted the surrounding space for a brief moment to halt his movement!

‘So he’s the one who used that teleportation to arrive here… He’s probably also the one who arranged for Lesley and the other’s escape.’ Kyle thought as he analyzed the situation.

Kyle then frowned as he faced the giant…

‘Let’s see how tough you are…’ Kyle thought as he used his blade…

Bang!

The Rift Blade met the giant’s bones, and with a burst of radiant energy, the limb shattered into a thousand pieces. However, it actually repaired itself after a few moments!

Nonetheless, Kyle didn’t stop as he added his Corrupted Divinity to his attacks!

As expected, it actually worked and the bone no longer regenerated!

‘It probably wouldn’t work with normal Corruption…’ Kyle mused as he believed that only Corrupted Divinity could dismantle the bone’s mysterious power.

However, it doesn’t change the fact that he could no longer escape from being surrounded by the Undead!

The Giant Bone had already done its part in containing him in a cage!

As the Abyss Knights charged, their spectral steeds thundered as they reached Kyle in no time…

‘Mhmm… I can’t use too much Divinity right now. I have to reserve them for these three Half-Immortals.’ Kyle thought as he readied his Rift Blade.

The Abyss Knights, emanating an aura of sheer malice, finally arrived. They weren’t speaking, but their eyes were fixed with a singular purpose: to extinguish the life of their foe.

Kyle stood his ground, the blade in his hand humming with the power coming from his Aura… He seemed to plan to eliminate all these creatures with the smallest amount of energy he could muster!

As the first knight reached him, he deftly sidestepped its charge, bringing his blade in a sweeping arc that cleaved through the dark armor as if it were made of mist!

Whoooshh~

The knight didn’t even know how it was defeated as it faltered and dissipated into the void from whence it came.

One by one, the Abyss Knights met the same fate.

Their numbers mattered not, for Kyle fought with the experience of a master swordsman, he was unstoppable with the Rift Blade in his hands!

Each swing of his blade could easily cut through one of the most powerful Undead that could be summoned by any Necromancers!

This was simply an unimaginable feat to many! However, for Kyle, it was only natural as he wasn’t wielding any type of sword.

It was a weapon from a Dimensional Creature that travels through various Realms or maybe the Universe. Furthermore, with his current Immortal Physique, Strength Strands, and Aura, he definitely did not lack power!

With five of the Abyss Knights vanquished, the Death Knights took their place!

They advanced in unison, their rune-carved greatswords raised high, ready to bring down death upon Kyle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Surprisingly, the Death Knight’s swords were able to hold up against his Rift Blade! It was confusing since the Abyss Knights should be stronger than them!

‘Ahhh… Is that because of their swords?’ Kyle’s eyes widened as he realized that the rune of the greatswords seemed to cancel out the power of his Rift Blade!

‘Impressive!’ Kyle couldn’t help but praise such a sturdy weapon! The rune actually stopped a blade that could cut through space!

He couldn’t help but desire such a weapon! After all, he might be facing Dimensional Creatures in the near future as well! Such a weapon might be very useful for him, especially if he had someone accompanying him.

Anyway, Kyle didn’t feel scared!

The Death Knights, though formidable, were not prepared for Kyle’s abilities.

For a moment, he met their greatswords with parries and ripostes to get a better idea about the weapon’s strength…

Sparks flew as runes clashed with enchanted steel…This time, Kyle realized that there are over 5 Runes on their greatswords!

It was definitely impressive!

However, Kyle triggered one of his favorite spells!

“Traceless Shift!”

With the activation of this spell, all their weapons disappeared and appeared beside Kyle!

Well, with those five Runes, none of them could defend against his Traceless Shift!

The next battle was no longer exciting.

One by one, the Death Knights fell before him, their armor clattering to the ground in pieces as their existence snuffed out like candles in a gale.

“This…”

The elders watched in disbelief as their undead army faltered under Kyle’s relentless assault. One by one, the spectral soldiers dissipated, their essence returning to the void from where they came.

“You fight well, Kyle Marshall…” Eldric conceded, his tone laced with a newfound respect. “But this is far from over.”
