Vale continued extracting the bodies of the ordinary human corpses that were inside the building…
It only gave him 0.14 in his Vitality Attribute but it was better than nothing.
It was unfortunate that he can't extract the other bodies because they were too mutilated. This includes the animals as well.
Of course, he wasn't sure whether the animals can be extracted at all since he didn't really have a proper sample. The cows and goats in the slaughterhouse are already dismembered after all.
"Let's go, Philip… We're done here." As Vale said this, Philip heaved a sigh of relief as he immediately went out.
Deep in his mind, his respect for Vale increased by a notch. In his eyes, Vale was truly unbothered by corpses and even touch all of them without any hesitation.
It wasn't something he could do without showing any signs of hesitation, disgust, and nervousness...
From this, Philip can guess that Vale had vast experience with these corpses or perhaps, the thing they'd heard from the Headmaster was true.
"How is it inside? You guys took much longer time than I expected." Officer Roma said with a teasing smile.
"Just staying there can be stressful… However, are we allowed to leave now?" Vale asked shifting the topic swiftly.
"As I said, you can't leave just yet. You guys from the Dark Arts Faction can't be underestimated even if you're freshmen... Besides, I want to hear if you find something unusual with the corpse after checking it."
Vale simply shook his head after hearing this and replied.
"Except for the unusual tattoos of that person, there's nothing strange about him. It's probably because of how he was killed by those 9th-year students so I can't find out more…" Vale said as he looked at Wesley and Leigh who seem to be using some sort of Rune Device to get themselves heal faster.
Rune Arts Practitioners or Runecasters have a different method of combat… They were using Rune Characters, Rune Devices, or something they weren't aware of whenever they engage in battle.
The tattoos on Brice Watton's body may not even be from him but they were marks left behind by the weapons used by the three students who killed him.
"Well, I still can't let you leave. You have to accompany us to our station… If you have matters in the Academy, we'll inform them later on." Officer Roma said.
At this point, Vale was already losing his patience.
"Officer, are you just troubling us because we're from Vermont Academy? If you have a problem with Dark Arts Practitioners, they were most likely those rogue practitioners. Even your Combat Arts Faction has many rogue practitioners. You should understand that."
Officer Roma and Spencer didn't like how Vale started reasoning with them.
"We don't belong to any faction. We're working for the government… We're from the police department so you have to watch your words." Officer Spencer finally spoke.
"It seems that you three wanted to rush your death. We're only planning to torture you after learning more about the Vermont Academy… However, I've changed my mind."
Officer Roma said as she finally revealed her true color.
Indeed, these two officers were up to no good since the beginning!
Perhaps, they can't actually cancel the Fog Formation Circle so they were still waiting until it was naturally removed to take care of them…
This is not a new thing since Vale read a couple of books about Formation Circles. Many Formation Circles can not be controlled once they are activated. Most of them are those lower-tier ones and you either have to forcefully destroy them, wait for the time limit, or until their energy is consumed.
Vale sneered after hearing the officer. Priscilla and Philip then stood behind Vale as they know that he was about to do something.
"So it was like that… You've finally admitted it." Vale said as he looked at them with disdain.
"What can you do? The Formation Circle still has 3 minutes. It's enough to bring the three of you down… Officer Spencer, you have to carry these three after I knock them out."
Officer Roma said as she started fixing her blue gloves. She wasn't planning to use her gun against them and it seems that she was thinking of only using her Combat Art to subdue them…
Vale found an opportunity after seeing this. He didn't hesitate anymore as he asked Lotus to break the Fog Formation for them!
'Follow me…' Lotus simply said as she came out of Vale's shadow…
Her sudden appearance stunned the two officers for a brief moment as they unconsciously made a defensive stance. After all, the energy they felt coming from that black thing wasn't weak.
It was a powerful energy that they had to be wary of.
However, they were baffled after seeing it charge in a different direction!
It actually went to the Fog Formation! It must be said that even if Roma and Spencer worked together, they won't be able to forcefully get out of this formation…
Seeing that Vale's group was thinking of escaping, Roma looked at them with contempt as she believed that they'll just fail.
As the three followed the path made by Lotus, their vision was filled with gray fog, and couldn't see any other thing.
This made them nervous for a bit but they keep moving while staying together…
After about 30 seconds or so, they were soon out in the streets as they heard the street vendors calling for their attention to buy their products.
As Vale looked around, he realized that he wasn't seeing the Fog Formation anywhere… However, it should still be somewhere in the city.
'What a mysterious formation art… I wonder if we're going to learn something similar.' Vale mused as he signaled for the two to follow him.
"That was exciting, Vale… I didn't know your Dark Spirit would be so awesome."
"Right! I want to summon something similar… Vale, can you really not teach us how to do it?"
Philip and Priscilla said with anticipation as they looked at Vale's shadow.
"I really can't… You can think of it as a family secret. Anyway, let's get out of here first."
They were still not safe and the two officers must've realized that they have successfully escaped.
At this time, Vale also heard Lotus complain about the huge amount of energy that was used just now.
