Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 666 The Void

?Vale took a deep breath as he watched everything unfold in front of him. He wanted to properly see the effect of his Crimson Plague Spell.

"Aahhh! Save me! I'm dying!"

"You demon! You will go to hell!"

"Evil Immortal! Your fate will be worse than us!"

"You will regret this!"

"Stop this now! Aahh!"

"I curse you! We don't deserve this!"

They all screamed and writhed in agony, creating a scene of chaos and despair. However, there were also those who were filled with fury.

They all looked at Vale and felt hate and dread. They all cursed and begged for mercy, but it was useless. The Crimson Plague had no cure and no mercy.

That's right, even Vale was unsure whether he could Extract the Crimson Plague from these people. He never had the chance to try it...

Furthermore, once he released the Plague, there was no way to control it anymore, unlike most of his Spells. With that in consideration, he would surely have some trouble if he used it in the open field where his allies could be there as well.

They all died and withered away, leaving behind only crimson corpses and blood.

"That's quite scary…"

None of them survived, leaving only a failed ritual and a broken Magic Circle…

Soon, even their corpses started decomposing so quickly, and they all turned into a red goo!

"What?" Vale didn't expect such an end!

That Crimson Plague was too dangerous! There was no hope of saving them at all!

Vale could only shake his head as he noted to himself not to use this Spell unless he was sure that no one on his side would be affected.

***

As he was thinking of leaving the place, he noticed that the void or crack leading to the Abyss was still there!

'It's not going away even after the Cultists disappeared? Is this a permanent thing?' Vale mused as he observed it for a while.

He tried using his Divine Sense and even the Dragon's True Sight, but in the end, he was unable to see through the void.

After some hesitation, he asked Yvaine to bring out his Creation Ring… This Ring was the reward he obtained from Constance in the Mystic Soul Tower.

She only knew that it could help him close the Abyss, but he had no idea how to even trigger this item!

As he wore the Creation Ring, he didn't feel anything change in his body like before. It seemed that it was still Sealed, and even Constance had no idea why it was like that.

'Is it because this void is different?' Vale mused as he thought of another method.

He was thinking of closing it just now, but after some time, he decided to just attack and try to destroy it!

"Let's try this one…" Vale muttered as he used his Divine Lightning to create a bolt of lightning that struck the void!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three consecutive Divine Lightning descended!

He hoped that the powerful spell would break the void or crack and stop it from any possibility of sending out other Demon Saints.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

The void simply absorbed the lightning, and it even became more unstable and violent. It started to emit more dark and twisted energy as if it was ready suck in more things around it.

'W-what? Did I make a mistake? Lotus, Yvaine… Do you have any thoughts?" Vale asked.

"Even the Guardians of the Spirit World couldn't close the gates that the Demons had made in our world…" Yvaine replied.

"There's a reason they've been unstoppable… We could only delay it but can't stop it. The Guardians could at least use a barrier to temporarily suppress these Gates. You can try assembling a Trap Formation if you want." Lotus suggested.

"Ugh… Let's just try it again."

Vale muttered.

This time, he used his Aurora's Embrace to create a myriad of light that surrounded the void!

Whoosh~

He hoped that the beautiful spell would seal the void or at least, make it smaller!

However, it didn't work once again... The crack resisted the myriad of light and it just became more chaotic and aggressive. It even started showing signs of sending out creatures!

"Not good…" Vale muttered as he saw that it was about to spit out some unknown creatures!

Vale then switched to another Spell…

This time, he used his Cursed Flame to create a flame of darkness that burned the crack! He believed that the destructive power of this spell would incinerate any creature trying to use this void as a gateway!

Luckily, this time, he didn't fail miserably.

The Cursed Flame remained at the edge of the void, and it even started burning the dark and twisted energy that it was previous producing!

'Mhmm… Is it that easy?' Vale mused.

Although it looked like it started to calm down, Vale didn't put off his guard as he continued to observation the situation.

As expected, his bad feeling turned out to be correct.

After more than half an hour, the Cursed Flame dissipated as it lost its energy and the void fed on the darkness and became more powerful and dangerous. I

It started to emit more dark and twisted energy and he had no idea how to stop it!

His spells were not working and that he was making things worse!

'Ugh… I have no other choice…'

Vale gritted his teeth as he decided to try to get closer to the void.

He wanted to try to Extract it with his Divine Extraction System!

He believed that his System would have a higher chance of helping him close or destroy the crack in space!

He then used his Presence Shift to move closer to the crack. He was careful about it, as he wasn't sure if it would try and suck him in.

Whom~

However, before he could reach the crack and try to extract it, two Demon Saints emerged from the Void!
