Chapter 392 Trapped
Soon, wisps of what Vale believed as 'celestial energy' started to gather around him, intertwining with his abundant Dark Aura.
Then, a radiant aura formed around his palms, emanating a mesmerizing blend of shadows and starlight.
With a focused mind and steady control, Vale released the energy, directing it towards a boulder about 100 meters away.
Whoosh~
As the energy made contact, the rock came alive with a breathtaking display of light. Colors danced and swirled around the rock's edges, reminiscent of the Northern Lights.
"This looks more attractive than I thought…" He muttered.
Vale stood in awe, marveling at the beauty and majesty of the Aurora's Embrace.
It was a spell that truly lived up to its name. It embraces the target with celestial energies and harnesses them to create a spectacle…
As the display faded, Vale couldn't help but feel confused.
'That's it?' Vale was a bit dumbfounded after realizing that the Spell just ended. He even felt some of his Divinity Points disappearing from that activation!
'Did I miss something? Maybe my target must be a living being…'
As he thought that Aurora's Embrace was a Spell that only works against living beings, something unexpected happened to the boulder.
Crash~
It suddenly crumbled into dust!
The previous 2-meter huge boulder disintegrated just like that!
"This…"
Vale was speechless after seeing the result of his Planar Spell. It seemed so beautiful yet so deadly!
Although the boulder didn't have any Arcane Energy protecting itself, it was still a tough object and couldn't be turned into dust so easily. Even some Tier 2 Dark Spell weren't capable of doing this!
"Amazing…"
With a mix of excitement and confusion, Vale couldn't help but be thrilled by the unexpected outcome of Aurora's Embrace spell.
The power it held was far greater than he had anticipated, as evident by the boulder crumbling into dust with a single touch of celestial energy. He didn't even gather much 'celestial energy' from that attack.
Furthermore, this is just a level 0 Planar Spell…
A surge of adrenaline coursed through his veins as he realized the immense potential and destructive force of the Spell.
If possible, he wanted to try it if it would work the same way with Spiritual Beings, Zombies, or other Arcanists.
Vale wanted to check the dust to see if there was some remnant energy from his attack, but as he was about to approach it, he sensed a presence approaching. The person was moving fast, and he would estimate that he would arrive in just 10 seconds or so.
Alarmed by another person's presence, Vale moved without hesitation. He swiftly activated his Lightspeed Spell, disappearing from the location in an instant. His body moved with such speed that it seemed as if he had teleported.
Whooosh~
The prairie field became silent once again.
Vale's decision to leave quickly was driven by his instinct to protect his identity and avoid unnecessary attention.
He also didn't bother using his Divine Sense to identify the person who had been hurrying toward his location since it would just waste his time. It was better to just retreat to the safety of the Vermont Academy.
He may be curious about the approaching person, but it was better to just leave…
***
As Vale swiftly disappeared using his Lightspeed Spell, he believed he had evaded any potential pursuers. However, much to his surprise, he failed to detect the presence of three individuals who had stealthily approached his location.
'A trap?' Vale was surprised, but he didn't panic.
He used his Divine Sense, and luckily, the Spell was effective on them.
It means that these people weren't as great as Sherman, who couldn't even be detected by the Divine Sense of the Holy Arts Faction.
Dark Arts Practitioner with 10 filled Spell Lights.
Dark Arts Practitioner with 11 filled Spell Lights.
Dark Arts Practitioner with 10 filled Spell Lights.
Elemental Arts Practitioner with 12 filled Spell Lights.
'Hmm? Elemental Arts Practitioner?' Vale knitted his brows in confusion as he realized that the man he had detected first was an Elementalist.
As for the three figures who had surrounded him, two of them were clad in the distinct uniforms of the squad members from the Order of the Evanescent Vessels, so it was pretty easy to identify them.
The other man, on the other hand, was a familiar dark cloak and should be their squad captain.
'It's not the sixth or the fifth squad…' Vale silently thought as he had already seen the vice-captain and captains of those two squads. The cloak they were all wearing had the same quality.
"Who are you?" one of the captains demanded, his voice laced with authority.
There was no way Vale would answer the truth.
With a quick decision, he maintained his disguised form, keeping his true nature hidden.
"Clovis Skye… I'm just passing by and not here to fight against you." Vale answered. Of course, he also made sure to use his Voice Manipulation Spell.
"Clovis Skye?" The captain repeated before continuing to ask questions. "What are you doing here? Did you make that phenomenon in the sky a while ago?"
"Again, I'm not here to fight, so just leave me alone. Why are you even together with an Elementalist?" Vale asked as he shifted his gaze to the man who had just arrived.
His question seemed to have triggered them even more as one of them shouted, filled with urgency.
"That's it. Just capture him! We cannot allow him to escape!"
They didn't hesitate and immediately acted!
Their hands raised in a commanding gesture, and a chilling aura enveloped the area. The death energy spread in the air, and one by one, they began to summon their undead minions.
With a wave of their hands, the ground trembled as zombies clawed their way out of the earth, their lifeless eyes fixed on Vale.
Skeleton knights emerged, their bony forms clattering as they brandished their rusted swords. Above them, four Flying Bone Eagles soared through the air, their skeletal wings casting an eerie shadow.
All three of them were Necromancers!
