Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 863: The Edo Stone



"I hope our bureau can also use this kind of Arcane Technology." Captain Ashley muttered as she really liked this modified Airship.

"That's true... However, this Airship must've cost a lot to manufacture."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Well, our Bureau doesn't have a budget for these things."

"Hey... Our Bureau is now being managed by an incredible person. Perhaps in just three or more years, we can have such a powerful airship as well."

"Hahaha... That would be incredible."

The members of the Bureau comfortably chatted as they looked around the Airship. It may not be as big as the passenger airship they've used, but it was still spacious since there were only less than 30 people here, including the crew of the Airship.

Furthermore, they confirmed that this vessel wasn't just comfortable but also powerful.

It was comfortable as the sound of the engine was entirely not audible after it started running!

Then, after looking around, Ashley and the others realized that there were massive, rune- inscribed flags that extended from either side of the Airship, and they were all pulsating with Wind Arcane Energy.

Aside from that, there were even some sculpted waves on the side of the Airship, and these wave-like structures were not just for show; they were actually enchanted woods that allowed the vessel to maneuver with agility, making it a formidable opponent in aerial combat.

They knew these woods since most combat airships had a small amount of these.

Ashley then left the group as she decided to check the thrusters of this vessel.

At the rear, she found several powerful thrusters that hummed with low, resonant energy, ready to propel the ship through the skies at incredible speeds.

'Mhmm... So it's true that the Immortal has a genius Magic Craftsman working for him... This is definitely something that only three stars or even higher Alchemist could create.' Ashley then proceeded to check the other places in the Airship.

Just in case they met another attack, she would know what to do...

Then, she confirmed that the deck itself was equipped with an array of weaponry.

Arcane cannons lined the sides, their barrels were even glowing with a faint blue light, ready to unleash devastating blasts of energy!

It seemed as if this Black Lotus was fully ready for combat!

Then, at the bow, a massive, crystal-tipped lance protruded forward as if it would be used to ram other Airship.

Finally, what was even more important was the ship's Formation Array Stones!

There were over 30 of these visible stones, and each of them had a defensive barrier imbued!

"This place is really safe..." Ashley mused.

After some time, Vale stood at the helm...

Captain Ashley and her team of Arcane Bureau members were then assisted by the crews of the Airship to check their cabins.

Of course, Ashley noticed that the crew, a mix of skilled humans and some Arcanists...

Then, Ashley and two of her trusted aides were escorted to Vale to learn how to fly this Airship just in case they had to.

"Let's not waste any more time. We have a mission to complete."

After this, Vale left the bridge or the command room to the crews of the Airship.

As the Airship lifted off, the thrusters roared to life, and the vessel ascended gracefully into the sky.

It didn't take that long before the landscape below shrank away, replaced by an endless expanse of blue.

The journey to the Pallham Empire had begun.

At this time, Lisa moved silently through the dimly lit corridors of her castle in Pallham Empire.

She had recently turned Ivan, the Time Manipulator, into her Lesser Vampire, and after recuperating from the injuries she obtained, she now needed answers. Well, the man's time spells had actually harmed her. If not for Vale's blood, she would've really been defeated by this person.

Ivan knelt before her, his eyes only showed reverence in front of her as a Lesser Vampire. The transformation had actually allowed him to become more powerful since instead of his life force being consumed when using powerful Time Spells, he was only using his blood energy which he could replenish every time!

Nonetheless, Lisa's gaze was piercing as she started her interrogation.

"Tell me everything, Ivan. Why are you here?"

Ivan's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"We were informed by the Demon Lord. He informed us about the presence of the Divine Extractor in the Human Realm."

Lisa's eyes narrowed. Vale had already briefed her about this and nodded.

"And what of the Edo Stone?" she asked... This item was actually quite mysterious. She tried probing a while ago, but she couldn't find its purpose.

Ivan nodded, then reached into his cloak, producing a small, glowing stone.

"There are ten of these in my possession, including the one that you have. They are life- saving treasures, capable of bringing one's past self to revive them even if they are close to death. It's a unique form of healing created by elders of our Realm."

"So you can't create these?" Lisa asked.

"It's difficult to do it alone, my liege." Ivan replied.

Lisa raised her brow as she started to examine it again... However, she couldn't get an idea

how to use it.

"A strange and potent artifact," she mused. "How do you use this."

Ivan nodded. "Yes, they are rare and highly coveted... You only have to shatter them with your hands to use them."

"Ahh? That simple?" Lisa replied. Indeed, she had not tried to destroy it for obvious reasons.

Lisa smiled as she learned how to use it.

The Edo Stones could be invaluable in their ongoing battles.

She needed to inform Vale, but as she reached for her communication device, she paused. Vale was already on his way to the Pallham Empire. It would be more prudent to wait for him here. "Very well," she said, her decision made.

Lisa then turned as she released her familiars to search for the clues of the Rank Zero Demon Saint...
