Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy - Chapter 855: Another Avatar

Elysia was shocked after realizing what was going on.

Summoning an Angel wasn’t a common thing… Based on her knowledge, it must only be done if a catastrophe had fallen on the followers of Light. She learned in the Academy that the

Angel’s existence was only to defend and not to initiate conflict.

Needless to say, Elysia couldn’t see how the Holy Arts Practitioners were in danger.

After all, the Dark Arts Practitioners around them were just minding their own business and weren’t showing any signs of attacking the Holy Arts Practitioners.

To be exact, they even seemed oblivious to the fact that there are Holy Arts Practitioners.

‘Oh well, it’s not my problem.’ Elysia mused as she just decided to enjoy the show. It had been pretty boring over the past few days, so this might serve as entertainment for her.

***

The airship quivered, its timbers groaning under the weight of celestial presence.

The Angel-its two majestic wings fully revealed-hovered above the deck, while its eyes looked at the stunned people below their presence.

The Holy Arts practitioners knelt, their faces showing reverence and fear.

Elysia, still disguised as an Alchemist and normal passenger, watched from the shadows.

Her Time Manipulation abilities were currently completely hidden as she didn’t want to get noticed yet.

‘Are they going to commit a slaughter? These priests are nastier than I thought.’ She mused.

The Dark Magicians were obviously surprised by the sudden appearance of the Angel. They didn’t notice the ritual being done by the priests in one corner of the Airship since they used a Formation Art to hide any fluctuation of Arcane Energy during the ritual.

The Dark Magicians just noticed them after the ritual itself was completed.

“An Angel?!”

“Not good… I think we’re under attack!”

“We have a truce with the Holy Arts Faction! What’s going on?!”

“Sir Philip! Please give us the command!”

“Let’s send this Angel back to where it came from!”

Philip, the current leader of these group of Dark Magicians looked at the Angel with a frown. Currently, there are only five members of Evanescent Vessels in their group of 200 Dark Magicians.

They were supposedly on a mission to retrieve an Arcana. Although their vast number seemed too big to avoid detection, they believed that it would not be a big deal since the war was basically over. The Holy Arts Practitioners shouldn’t be causing trouble for them.

Furthermore, with their huge number, no one should be foolish enough to try and mess with them.

“An Angel, huh… This is not a normal ambush.” Philip muttered as he knew the sacrifices that the Priests needed in order to summon an Angel.

Well, he knew that this Angel wasn’t summoned by Untainted Sentinels as he also briefly sensed the presence of 30 Priests completing the ritual…

‘They must’ve permanently damaged their life essence in order to summon this thing… They’re definitely here to kill us.’ Philip analyzed and quickly gave his orders.

Of the 200 Dark Arts Practitioners, 100 of them were Full Dark Magicians who had mastered at least 8 Spells, 30 Dark Ritualists who were quite weak but could summon Dark Spiritual Beings, 30 Corruption Specialists, 20 Dark Alchemists, and 20 Necromancers.

Philip may not be the strongest among them, but because he had a Broken Arcana in his possession, he was deemed to be their leader.

As soon as he gave out his commands, the Dark Arcanists immediately went into action! At the same time, the people in the Airship immediately went into hiding as they knew that there was a battle going on. Some of them even started pulling out their mystical artifacts that could hopefully protect them from this imminent danger.

Suddenly, the Captain’s voice crackled over the intercom.

“Prepare for descent!” Panic threaded her words. “We cannot withstand the disturbance caused by the mystical being’s presence! Grab tightly to any—”

As she continued giving instructions to the passengers, the priests paid no heed.

They’d summoned the Angel for a purpose. Their orders were clear: eliminate the Dark Magicians!

The Angel’s gaze swept the deck.

It didn’t speak but it started scanning the surroundings for the presence of the Dark Magicians.

As soon as it confirmed their presence, the chaos erupted.

A beam of Light descended from its hands but The Dark Magicians threw Dark Spells including curses to attack the Angel!

While this was happening Philip was also preparing to unlease his Broken Arcana. He decided

to quickly deal with this problem since he didn’t want any Dark Magician to perish before they complete their mission.

Boom!

The airship shuddered, caught between the attacks of the two forces…

“They’re really going at it… I guess the truce made by the Shadow Immortal to the Fortune Goddess was nulled for some reason…”

Elysia muttered as she stepped back. She didn’t want to get caught or get forced to use her Temporal Spells as she might get exposed.

Anyway, she knew quite a lot about the truce since the other Time Manipulators were able to gather information in various parts of the continent, and they would all consolidate this information during discussions on their Mind Network.

“Mhmm?”

At this time, as she felt that this battle would go in the favor of the Dark Magicians because of the Broken Arcana of their leader, something unexpected happened.

The Angel that was summoned suddenly unfurled another two wings, having a total of four! Then, it summoned another holy spell similar to Holy Smite to sear the Dark Magicians!

At this point, the Broken Arcana’s power was unleashed, and the four-winged Angel was suddenly suppressed by hundreds of dark hands that came out of nowhere!

The Priests didn’t seem to expect that the Broken Arcana held by Philip was strong enough to suppress the Four-Winged Angel! This stunned the priests as they prayed that the Angel could break free from its bindings!

Thankfully, they didn’t have to pray for long as their prayer was answered.

A tear in the space occurred as Farah stepped out of it and looked at Philip with a smile on her

face!

‘This…’ Philip was stunned as he realized the identity of the woman who had just appeared, it was the Avatar of the Fortune Goddess!

“We’re in trouble…” Philip muttered as he felt his Broken Arcana slowly slipping away from

his hands!
