Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 843  Special Stones

It didn't take that long before Felicia knew that their attempt to take the Golden Key had failed.

However, she had no other choice but to try again. They didn't know when they would ever get the chance to get close to the Golden Key. If these people managed to escape, they might really get trapped here forever.

Seeing that there were still Ratmen waiting to attack, Felicia ordered them to deal with Odessa.

Then, Felicia and her White Cat Tribe surrounded Chad, who had just reverted to his human form after the intense battle against the other Beastfolks... She knew that Chad spent a lot of Draconic Energy in that transformation to deal with the hundreds of Beastfolk Warriors.

"Surround him!"

The White Cat warriors, with their sleek white fur and sharp claws, eyed Chad warily, ready to pounce at any moment. They weren't worried about the others since they should've been suppressed and couldn't muster their Divinity.

Seeing that Chad was still exhausted after undoing his transformation, Odessa decided to help him out. She triggered her Mystic Arts around Chad like a protective shield. It was actually a Force Barrier!

This Barrier came right in time and blocked the fast White Cats…

Bam!

As for the Ratmen that were chasing after her, they were also blocked by the Barrier in time.

With a commanding presence, she soon arrived beside Chad.

"Let's work together, Aurion and Vale can't use their Divinity. Although they could still use other means to fight, it's better if we take care of this matter instead." She declared.

"Got it… I can still continue." Chad said as he steadied his breathing.

Felicia, the leader of the White Cat Tribe, narrowed her eyes as her feline movement became more vigorous.

She looked at the Barrier and ordered her people. "Show them what we're capable of!"

Chad frowned at their desire to court death…

However, Chad and Odessa soon heard a message from Vale through telepathy.

While the Force Barrier was still active, he raised his hands in a gesture of peace.

"Let's stop this senseless battle. We mean no harm…" he said, his gaze meeting Felicia's without fear. "We seek only to protect this realm from greater threats. You are not our enemies."

As he said this, the Beastfolks were stunned. Chad was obviously using the Draconic Language and they immediately felt the pressure to comply.

Previously, it was quite difficult to have a dialogue with these creatures.. However, Vale had forgotten Chad's ability. The Draconic Language had certain effects against Beastfolks, and making him the negotiator might have been better in this case.

Seeing the Beastfolks confused and waiting for instructions from Felicia, the tension slowly started increasing. They confirmed that Chad wasn't just a Magician who could transform into a Dragon. With that Dragon Language, they were sure that he was indeed a young, mighty being above the Beastfolk Race!

It wasn't something that was taught to them but it was something that their blood could feel.

Odessa wasn't sure if Chad could convince them, just like what Vale instructed, so she stepped forward, her hands wreathed in glowing runes. Her Force Barrier would be gone in a few seconds, so she had to create another line of defense.

With a whispered incantation, she summoned a swirling vortex of energy that surrounded the group, including Vale, creating a barrier of light that made the Beastfolk frown at the sight.

The White Cat warriors hesitated, their instincts telling them to strike, but Felicia held up a hand, a sign for caution.

"Let us hear them out," she said, her voice calm yet resolute.

Chad heaved a sigh of relief and explained their mission, to find the Perfect Vessel and not the Three Talents. They were also willing to break the Tower's seal and set them free if they wanted as long as they could help them search for the Vessel.

"Perfect Vessel…" Felicia frowned and looked at the other Elders. They also shook their heads as they had no idea about the Vessel.

"If you don't know about the Vessel, that's fine… Nonetheless, we can set you free but not without a price…" Chad said…

"You already killed so many of us, and you still asking for a price?!" Felician hissed.

"Yes… We would like you to serve the Shadow Immortal once we've taken all of you out of this place." Chad said as he pointed at Vale.

"That's impossible! That Shadow Immortal couldn't even more from our seal!" Felicia shouted…

"Hahaha…"

At this point, Vale couldn't help but release a loud laugh as he summoned his Shadow Divinity!

Boom!

The seals she was talking about only lasted for a mere 10 seconds before they lost their effects!

"Now, is that enough for you to recognize my strength?" Vale asked coldly, making Felicia and the others who knew about the seal speechless. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They have used a vast amount of special stone in that platform to trap up to 20 Celestial Beings… However, they didn't expect a single Immortal with the power of the Shadows could actually break it!

***

After confirming that they no longer had the desire to continue the battle, Vale approached Felicia, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Felicia, how did you manage to suppress our Divinity?" He inquired, his voice was still tinged with awe at the display of magical prowess he had witnessed a while ago. Although he was able to break it, it was only because he was incredibly strong at this point.

Felicia then gazed at Vale as she took a moment to collect her thoughts before responding.

"It was the Prison Stones…"

Vale and others were clueless about this, so they remained silent and allowed Felicia to continue.

"The stones we placed on the platform where we stood, hold ancient enchantments specifically designed to counteract and suppress divine energies. It's a special stone that only our White Cat Tribe could make…"

Vale's eyes widened in realization as the value of the Beastfolks, especially the White Cat Tribe, had just increased!
