Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

830  Lies

Farah doesn't dislike the Shadow Immortal. He wasn't using his powers to hurt ordinary humans, and he was able to coexist with them perfectly with the help of the magic craftsmen on his side.

The Shadow Immortal also had connections to various organizations, but it wasn't to expand his territory or control over a large number of people. As a matter of fact, his connections outside the castle were very limited as they only wanted to expand their sources of materials.

The most important thing was that he wasn't gathering people in order to have them worship him and establish faith.

'It's odd… He had several Immortals serving him and should be aware of it. He should be thinking of ascending to become a Paragon, but he wasn't doing it… It's too suspicious.' Farah thought for a moment.

She would understand if Vale decided to leave this realm since the Arcane Energy here was already useless to him, and what he needed more was Divinity—a form of Divinity that would make him stronger and faith that would make him ascend.

Soon, as her prayer faded into the halls of the Cathedral, Farah's form shimmered with an ethereal light.

Needless to say, it was the manifestation of divine power and grace that enveloped her in a radiant aura of protection.

"This should be more than enough to deal with the True Immortals and his Avatars…" Farah muttered after consolidating the strength that was bestowed on her physique.

Farah also felt that killing the Shadow Immortal could cause a huge problem in terms of the realm's security from invasion, but unfortunately, the Shadow Immortal would soon realize that this realm would not be able to handle another deity. Once he realized that, he would surely target her, the one who had taken most of the realm's faith and Divinity…

Before that could happen, he had to convince the Shadow Immortal to leave this realm or kill him.

With a final glance at the sacred surroundings of the Cathedral, she vanished from sight, her path set on a course that would shape the destinies of mortals and immortals alike within this realm.

Whoosh~

Farah had then arrived outside the formidable castle that served as the domain of Vale, Shadow Immortal.

Her arrival was shrouded in secrecy, her presence was cloaked in a veil of invisibility. She used both of her spells and artifacts to do this.

The reason was simple: she sought to uncover the mysteries hidden within the shadowed walls of the Immortal's stronghold.

Currently, she was standing at a distance of ten kilometers from the imposing barriers that shielded Vale's castle from prying eyes…

'Eight layers of barriers, huh… Isn't he spending too much Formation Nodes?' Farah mused as she surveyed the intricate layers of protection that surrounded the fortress…

As she prepared to unleash her Celestial Arts and delve deeper into the secrets of the castle, something unexpected happened.

She was stopped by the sudden appearance of two figures that materialized before her.

These figures were incredibly beautiful. They had an otherworldly grace and elegance.

'It's my first time seeing them, and I'm really impressed. Just how did he manage to subdue these True Immortals?' Farah thought to herself.

Needless to say, they were True Immortal Soldiers. They floated above her in all their resplendent glory, their androgynous features, loose white clothes, and golden swords could really look attractive in front of her eyes.

"Interesting… You noticed my presence so quickly…"

The unexpected arrival of Vale's loyal guardians took Farah by surprise, her divine aura was momentarily disrupted by their ability to detect her presence…

There was already a clash of aura just now, and although she wouldn't lose, she decided to recall her aura. She wanted to gain information from these two instead.

"How did you find me?" She asked.

Despite her best efforts to remain concealed, it only took them less than 10 seconds to arrive here!

The question hung in the air, but the two didn't seem to have any thoughts of answering her question.

"Why have you come here?" The True Immortal inquired, their gaze even tried to pierce through Farah. Farah then considered for a few moments before answering truthfully.

"I come in search of truths…" Farah replied…

"I want to know what your master plans… Is he planning to ascend to become a Paragon? I can help him if he promises to ascend to a different realm… You can relay that message to him… Lastly, does your master possess the power of the Divine Extraction?" Farah asked.

Meanwhile, while this was all happening, amidst the ethereal expanse of the Celestial Prison Realm, Vale's Avatar, Chad, Odessa, Jin, and Aurion ventured forth on their quest…

As they neared the 16 Celestial Prison Towers, their senses suddenly found a moving figure…

It didn't stop them at all, and soon, they found themselves face to face with a formidable guardian unlike any they had encountered before.

"I think he's the guardian of these Towers… It's a golem." Jin commented.

Before them was a colossal golem, a towering behemoth of stone and celestial energy. It was about 30 meters tall, and its massive form blocked the path leading to prisons.

Of course, Vale tried using the Golden Key to stop the Golem from blocking them, but it was useless.

"I guess we have to fight this thing, huh…" Jin muttered.

"I'm just worried that more of them would appear once we destroyed it." Chad spoke up.

"We should be fine…" Vale's Avatar said as he detected no other golems around.

As the Celestial Guardian stood silently before them, they could feel the pressure it was emitting and it was certainly ready for battle!

"We're going to destroy that thing… I sensed something inside it's body and it might be helpful in our journey." The Avatar said as he led the charge!

With a thunderous roar, the Celestial Guardian unleashed a barrage of celestial energy, pressuring them into submission!

"Let me!"

Chad, his sword drawn, wanted to use this opportunity to show his might!

With his own Dragon's Roar, he met the guardian's pressure head-on! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
