Chapter 523 Fusion
For a fleeting moment, the shadows that had escaped from Jean's body danced and swirled in a mesmerizing display, as if bidding farewell to their fallen master.
Yet, just as quickly as they had emerged, the shadows merged into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
The masked figures were left bewildered, their minds struggling to comprehend the inexplicable spectacle that had unfolded before them.
A hushed silence enveloped the group as they exchanged uncertain glances.
"W-what was that?" One of them stammered, his voice barely audible amidst the lingering sense of astonishment.
To be honest, he was thinking that it was a curse that was released to attack them. He imagined that Jean had cast a spell that if he died, the people who killed him would be cursed or something.
It wasn't that surprising from Dark Magicians.
Of course, everyone else had the same thought, but none of them dared to suggest it as it would just cause unnecessary panic.
Furthermore, their Power Strands and Spirit Strands were incredibly high, so they had strong resistance against such attacks. If they were really hit by a curse, they should be aware of it.
"I'm not sure what it was, but since my Mystical Artifacts didn't respond, it doesn't seem to be a curse meant to attack us. Perhaps it was a message or signal sent to someone." The old lady said.
The question still hung in the air, unanswered and shrouded in mystery. However, they felt relieved that it wasn't a threatening attack.
They could only ponder the significance of the spectral shadows as they continued to eliminate everything in sight.
None of them dared to touch the Black Staff as they were sure that there was a high requirement to use such a Sovereign Rank Artifact.
If they touched it carelessly, they might regret it for life. Now that they survived a fight against a strong Dark Magician, there was no way they would get themselves killed for a
Soon, they destroyed everything in sight, including the remains of the Vermont Academy's Airship.

After two days, Eustace and Constance arrived at Kirkham City. It was the city at the kingdom's border leading to the Ruri Kingdom.
As soon as they arrived, the two separated as they had different purposes for coming here.
Eustace wanted to explore with his Spell Fusion, while Constance wanted to find Spell Models she could record in her Spell Lights. Both of these require plenty of time.
After all, Constance knew how the research of Spell Models had advanced so much over the past years. She couldn't just rely on her knowledge that could be considered as "Ancient Knowledge" already. As for money, she didn't have to worry about it at all, considering the wealth she had obtained inside the Mystic Soul Tower.
In the meantime, Eustace would also require some time to explore his Spell Fusion since he doesn't have unlimited energy. If his guess was right, he could only do this once a day.
Clank!
Eustace then closed the door of his hotel room.
He indulged himself by renting an extravagant hotel room, embracing the opportunity to splurge some of his hard-earned money.
The room he acquired boasted a spacious layout, though it lacked the protective enchantments of Formation Arts or Arcane Arts commonly found in places owned by renowned Arcanist organizations.
As Eustace settled into his luxurious surroundings, preparing to delve into a deep meditative state on his bed, Yvaine, his Dark Spirit, spoke up unexpectedly.
"Do you need me to protect you?" She inquired, her concern evident in her voice. It seemed that she already expected that he would do something dangerous whenever he meditated.
Eustace paused for a moment, appreciating Yvaine's offer, before responding.
"There's no need... But thank you for your concern, Yvaine. For now, remain inside the shadow unless there is an emergency."
The other reason he suggested this was because of Yvaine's natural aura. It was something that normal people wouldn't like after all.
"Understood…" Yvaine replied, her demeanor displaying unwavering loyalty. Eustace couldn't help but smile as he felt that Yvaine really trusted him.
With their understanding established, Eustace immersed himself in his "meditation," entering his Extraction Space and focusing on its Fuse Function.
As he activated this system's function, he delved deeper into a state of concentration, he also felt as if his spirit traversed into another dimension, where he could perceive the ethereal Spell Lights and the Essence contained within his Extraction Space.
[ Select the targets for Fusion.]
A message materialized in his consciousness, presenting the opportunity to start the Fusion.
Eustace's lips curved into a knowing smile as he pondered his options.
"Mhmm... I suppose I shall start with a fusion involving the spells I am most familiar with…" He murmured, his gaze fixed on the selection before him.
Without hesitation, he chose the Ghost Hands, Spectral Hands, and Moonlight Curse, eager to witness the outcome of this Spell Fusion.
According to Thelma Cameron, the senior student who had informed him about the Spell Fusions, these three Spells could actually create a spell called Moonlight Specter.
According to her, the Moonlight Specter spell had the ability to summon a maximum of nine Specters, their numbers influenced by the mastery of the Fusion Spell. These ethereal beings possessed a curse-inflicting ability that reached its zenith under the enchanting glow of moonlight.
Furthermore, a mere touch from these Specters would plunge individuals into nightmarish visions, awakening their deepest fears and inducing overwhelming panic.
Whom~
As the fusion process commenced, Eustace's heart raced with anticipation.
"Please be successful..." He silently prayed.
Though he recognized the favorable odds of success, given that all three spells he fused were Advanced Realm, the magnitude of energy drained during the fusion process left him with a lingering sense of unease.
To Eustace's relief, the wait for the fusion's outcome proved short-lived.
Ding!
