Chapter 586 Marked
[ Living Half-Spirit has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
'Yes!'
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Cursed Flame Spell Model
Complete Spell Light +1
Energy +10 ]
"As expected, I need a concentrated Extraction to make it work. But it's not enough… I need more." Vale muttered as he pulled away to dodge Magnus' attack.
It was Earth Spear that tried piercing him from his feet.
Although he was concentrating on his Extraction, his Dragon's True Sight was still active, and he was able to sense the flowing Arcane Energy throughout the surroundings.
Vale's response to his attack surprised Magnus himself. He looked at Vale with a hint of confusion while bolstering his defense with a couple of Defensive Spells. They were Iron Body Spell and Toxic Fume Spell…
They were a Knight Spell and an Alchemy Spell. This time, Magnus planned to use all the spells he knew to kill Vale.
"Hey, you could've ended my life just now…" Magnus said as he held his throat, which Vale had previously grabbed.
'Did he attack my Spell Lights? He only destroyed my Spell Model… Is he planning to destroy all my Spells?' He mused.
Vale smirked at this and taunted him even more.
"I'm not done with you yet. My friend asked me to torture you, so I won't be ending your life that easily.
"What did you say?!" Magnus roared as he felt insulted by that. Although he knew that he was being taunted, he couldn't help but feel angry since no one had dared to disrespect him like that for a very long time.
"That was your only chance to kill me!" Magnus said as he prepared to cast another spell.
However, the moment he tried to cast his Beast Arts to borrow the power of a Fierce Tiger, he felt his connection to his Spell vanished.
"Anti-Magic?!" Magnus' eyes widened as he finally realized what was going on.
Although it felt different from the Anti-Magic he had seen before, the principle seemed the same: it could destroy the gathered Arcane Energy forming the Spell.
This time, it was Vale who was surprised after seeing how Magnus recognized the Spell so quickly.
"You seemed knowledgeable… Who are you? Why did you capture our friend?" Vale asked as he looked at the old man curiously.
This man was living in a castle far away from the civilization. He seemed to be doing some important research here where he needed Chad and Lisa's help in the Alchemy Laboratory.
Furthermore, this person knew several Arcane Spells, which was still quite impressive even though he was Half-Spirit.
"I don't think I need to explain that to you. You will be dying here alongside your friends!" Magnus said as he pulled out his Grimoire.
In the meantime, Vale decided to check his Attribute Panel… He suddenly had an idea of what to do with this person.
With a sigh, he leveled up his Slave Mark Spell. It was one of the Spells he got from the Vampire in the previous castle he had visited.
It was currently Level 0 since he wasn't planning to use it in the first place. At most, he was thinking of fusing it with other Spells.
However, this stubborn old man was getting on his nerves. He was also quite talented and seemed to know a lot about the Arcane Arts.
[ Consume 8 energy points to improve Slave Mark? ]
'Yes..'
[ Consume 16 energy points to improve Slave Mark? ]
[ Consume 32 energy points to improve Slave Mark? ]
…
[ Consume 512 energy points to improve Slave Mark? ]
'Yes…'
Vale made a quick upgrade on his Slave Mark Spell and spent a total of 1,016 Energy Points to reach Level 7 or its Advanced Realm.
He felt that he had to do this much if he wanted to control this Half-Spirit. Of course, he still had to weaken the man's mental defense to ensure that his Slave Mark Spell would work seamlessly.
Then, without any more hesitation, he confronted Magnus…
He didn't want to use any Spells that could result in too much destruction since he felt this castle had many secrets.
With this in mind, he found himself in a limited option.
'Let's try it one more time…' Vale thought as he activated three Spells.
Nature's Guise…
It allowed him to become invisible for only 5 seconds since no trees were around. Then he followed up with Lightspeed Spell to boost his speed, and lastly, it was his Fusion Spell, Chain of Souls!
Clank… Clank. Clank…
Several chains suddenly appeared beside the Magnus. It seemed threatening, but it wasn't enough to stop him.
"A Fusion Spell! Not bad!" Magnus remarked as he triggered his Beast Art!
"Blazing Falcon…"
The moment he said this, his whole body started burning and kept the chains at bay! Furthermore, his eyes turned red, and he seemed to see through everything in his surroundings!
"So you're aiming at my back! What a coward!"
This time, he was able to see Vale's movement even though he should still be invisible!
"Not that it matters!" Vale replied as he canceled his Nature's Guise and Chain of Souls…
He didn't suffer any backlash on this move since he already had an Incorruptible Body. His Physique could nullify any weak backlash on his Spell Casting.
As soon as he did this, he cast his Spell Dispersion once again!
"That won't work on me anymore!" Magnus shouted as a potion appeared in his hand.
Crash!
He crashed it in his hand, and a fog appeared around him. It seemed to nullify the effect of his Spell Dispersion!
'So you're relying on that potion…' Vale smirked as he decided to fight in close combat!
Magnus didn't expect this as Vale used his Shadowblade Footwork and aimed at Magnus' abdomen!
Boom!
Vale made sure not to suppress his Half-Celestial Physique and his Power Strands on that punch!
The punch's brute force destroys the Blazing Falcon and Magnus' defensive magic!
Darkness Manipulation!
With this Spell clutching on Magnus, Vale continued his Extraction. This time, he made sure to target Magnus' Energy to weaken him quickly!
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +800 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +500 ]
lightsn?v?l After this, Vale used the Spell he had just upgraded…
Slave Mark!
