Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 824  Peace

"That will be explained by the Shadow Immortal later." Magnus said, as he didn't want to divulge too much information with an unknown person beside them.

He doesn't know anything about Aubrey yet, after all. As for the information regarding their plan to use the Golden Key, he doesn't mind it leaking to the outside since it was also a way for them to eliminate the remaining Demon Saints that were hiding somewhere in the human realm.

"Fine… I actually brought our friend here. She's Miss Aubrey, and she helped Lisa return alive… The Shadow Immortal wants to meet her." Chad said.

"Very well, I'll inform the Shadow Immortal..." Magnus said as he contacted Vale's Avatar.

At this time, Lisa returned to her room and realized that it was still well-kept. It seemed that Magnus, or perhaps Denise, was still taking care of the room.

"So they really believed that I'll come back, huh…" Lisa smiled after seeing this. She couldn't help but feel emotional for a moment because of this.

Nonetheless, she immediately collected herself and found an item that she thought of giving to Aubrey.

She had actually realized that Aubrey hadn't become a Master-Class Arcanist or even a First Class Arcanist yet. She was only a Second-Class Arcanist, which was considered not too bad for her age.

However, within Vale's castle, that level of strength was too low.

She believed that Aubrey needed protection or a stronger weapon to survive longer in the world of Mysticism.

With this in mind, Lisa decided to pass on the item that she had received from Vale, which was the Doombringer Ring!

"T-this is…" Aubrey was shocked as soon as Lisa showed the item.

Currently, there are only two of them in the reception hall since Magnus still has other matters to do, and Chad has to talk to Vale's Avatar for a while to confirm his sudden mission.

"I'm no longer using it since I have something better… This is a Doombringer Ring. I heard from Valte that this is a very nice item, particularly for Necromancers. With this ring, one can easily transform humans or non-practitioners into zombies. It is an item that approaches the Sovereign Rank in power… If you're a bit stronger, you can also get Arcanists to become your Zombies. This item should have strong negative effects on the wearer. However, it had been suppressed with Divinity, and the negative effects got weakened." Lisa explained.

"This is incredible! Are you sure you no longer need this?" Aubrey felt excited as she knew how incredible this item was.

"Yes… I'm sure of it. Right, I recalled the negative effects now… It was about seeing and hearing ghosts and specters at a lot clearer… Because of that, you need to have a strong mind since you might sometimes mistake the spirits and ghosts for real people." Lisa explained.

"I guess that's not a big problem for me." Aubrey answered as she accepted the ring.

After this matter was settled, Magnus returned and announced that Chad and the others had already left the estate and went to the Celestial Prison Realm!

It seemed that they were actually in a hurry so as soon as Chad arrived, the ritual to enter the Celestial Prison Realm immediately commenced.

Nonetheless, one of the Shadow Immortal's Avatar would still meet Aubrey to thank her.

After a few seconds, Magnus then announced the arrival Shadow Immortal's Avatar, a moment that drew Lisa and Aubrey to their feet in anticipation…

"What? This is… So it was like that!"

As the Immortal made his grand entrance, Aubrey's eyes widened in disbelief at the revelation of his true identity - Vale Chambers!

It was actually her classmates all along! She thought that Vale had also become the Immortal's retinue, but he was actually the Immortal all this time.

'No wonder his Spirit Strands, Strength Strands, and Life Strands were too high! Is he just suppressing his strength throughout his whole time in the Academy?' Aubrey mused.

"Ahem… Are you truly the Shadow Immortal?" Aubrey's voice carried some wonder and skepticism.

Of course, her gaze was fixed upon Vale's familiar yet transformed visage. Several years had already passed, and Vale had become a bit older and more handsome than before. Nonetheless, she knew that it was the same vale. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Indeed, I am the Shadow Immortal. The Order of the Evanescent Vessels should be aware of this… The Dark Arts Factions should also know this, but I guess they may have kept this knowledge hidden from you…" He affirmed and explained the possible reason she wasn't aware of his identity.

"Right... I would like to thank you for saving Lisa..." Vale's Avatar said as he looked at Lisa and nodded. There weren't many words that needed to be said between the two.

"She's my friend. Of course, I will save her... Your words are enough. She already gave me a reward… But are you still going to give me one?" Aubrey asked after some hesitation. She decided not to be shy at all since Vale was an Immortal! It's not easy to have a friend like that!

She might as well experience the benefit of having an Immortal friend!

"Hahaha! You're right... What do you want, Aubrey? I will grant it as long as I can." Vale's Avatar said with a smile.

Since the question was already there, Aubrey decided to just express what she truly wanted.

"Ahem… I seek only peace and protection for myself and my family. To be exact, I want to work peacefully as a Paranormal Investigator… I'm afraid that refusing the offer from the Untainted Sentinels to hand Lisa's remnants at that time had damaged their reputation or something… Can you shield us from harm until we confirm that they won't bother us?" Aubrey's plea was tinged with a sense of vulnerability.

Vale immediately understood what she wanted to happen.

He then responded with a chuckle…

"Fear not, Aubrey. I shall ensure the safety of you and your kin… As a matter of fact, I'll speak to Farah regarding this so they won't think of harming you."

"Farah?" Lisa and Aubrey repeated.

"Yes… The Fortune Goddess."
