Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

839  Surrounded

According to these Angels or Keepers of the Light, the humans had three Paragons in the past, and they apparently started the rebellion.

They were the Divine Extractor, the Chaos Alchemist, and the Blood Soulcaster…

Vale was stunned after hearing these names.

'Three Paragons? Are they the same ones as the church in the human realm? The one who left the Creation Ring, Temporal Timepiece, and Stormbringer Sword?'

The Avatar was quite speechless as he continued to listen to the Angels. He even confirmed this information with the other angels, and they said the same things. They even added a few more details about these Paragons.

Anyway, these arrogant Paragons were the ones who had ultimately created a problem between various realms!

Nonetheless, these three should've died after being attacked by the full force of the Celestial Emperor and his army. Although they paid a huge price to eliminate the Three Paragons, they obtained a long peace, although it was still temporary.

After all, they had ultimately weakened themselves after the battle, and even Dimensional Creatures could enter and crush their world. They weren't even saved in this Prison Tower as the Celestial Emperor was worried that he might be freeing traitors as well. That was how weak the Emperor was.

In any case, the special talents of the Divine Extractor, Chaos Alchemist, and Blood Soulcaster were supposedly collected by the Celestial Emperor…

However, because of Celestial Realm's collapse that happened not long after, the talents of these three were thrown into the void and could no longer be found…

"How did you know all these things?" Vale asked since the Angel was supposed to be imprisoned."

"It happened after the successors of the three Paragons used our bindings to control us and make us their slaves for a short while… We've been tasked to look for those Talents…" The Angel replied.

This made Vale frown, as he had no idea how they could look for Talents. It wasn't like it would grow on trees, and they just had to pluck it.

'Is there a method to sense their Talent?' Vale mused.

Seeing Vale's reaction, the Angel continued…

"According to the Celestial Seer, chosen individuals would obtain these talents in the future… No one knows their race, names, or even when it will happen. Prisoners like us were used to find these talents by all means and exploring various realms. However, after failing to find them for years, we were thrown back to this tower… Over a thousand of us died, and only the six of us remained. Those who managed to escape and weren't thrown into Prisons had suffered a fate worse than death." The Angel said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This made Vale curious. Indeed, after they were sent away to search for the Talents, they could've gotten a chance to break the bindings and escape.

"What happened to those who tried to escape?" Vale asked.

"There is no escaping. They'll have a painful death, and their spirits will be crushed into many pieces… They wouldn't even die as the pieces of their spirits would soon look for empty vessels or dead bodies and live there as a creature that's not an angel or demon… Just a terrifying monster…"

As the Angel answered this, Odessa, Chad, and Vale, Avatar froze…

"Evil Spirits…" The whispered at the same time.

"Indeed… They were called Fallen Messengers for a reason." Vale muttered after recalling the words of his Professor.

Their world couldn't have a body being buried, especially those Arcanists. They all had to be preserved by Formation Art or cremated…

After all, they would be targeted by Evil Spirits if they didn't do that, and once they were possessed, they would turn into Evil Creatures that they knew very well. It would desecrate the corpse, and it would also cause a problem for ordinary people who had no way of fighting against Evil Creatures.

"So it was like that…" Chad muttered as he didn't expect those Evil Spirits to have such a background. Although they couldn't confirm this yet, he felt that this was already really the case.

Odessa was also nodding repeatedly as she realized that it was a perfect explanation for this mystery…

"I did well joining this exploration." She muttered.

After learning everything they could from these Angels, Vale finally decided to leave the Holy Prison Tower.

Then, after that, Shane and his group entered the Beast Tower.

Unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the other towers, this prison was filled with color…

To be exact, they were colors of various beasts or creatures that were imprisoned here!

'The others didn't survive in the Prison Towers but this one is actually thriving!' Vale commented after seeing the place inside the huge isolated space or world.

Chad and the others were also quite surprised as soon as they appeared.

On the other hand, the Beasts Creatures immediately felt threatened by their sudden appearance!

"This…"

As Vale's gaze swept over the inhabitants of the tower, he saw numerous humanoid races that bore the characteristics of rabbits, lizards, lions, bears, and a myriad of other creatures, their forms were a blend of human and animal that made this place truly mystical!

However, the surprise didn't last very long…

Seeing the newly arrived group of people who didn't look like beasts, the Beast Race or the Prisoners, immediately acted!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Soon, they found themselves surrounded by a phalanx of warriors whose reptilian features made Vale guess that they were members of the Lizard tribe or something.

They were clad in gleaming armor adorned with intricate patterns and wielding spears with razor-sharp tips, the lizardfolk warriors regarded Vale and his group with a mixture of suspicion and hostility, their cold eyes narrowed as they braced themselves for battle.

Who knows how long it had been since they had last seen a human!

Vale immediately realized what was going on!

"We are not enemies!" He immediately shouted.

However, it doesn't seem to work, as they may not even understand his words!
