Vale heaved a sigh of relief as soon as his Shadow Soldier killed the Mind Controller…
As expected, no one would expect that your head could be cut off by slicing your shadow. This cheat-like ability would be really useful as long as no one would know about it.
'I can only use this when no one is around… This is my strongest trump card.' Vale silently thought as he looked at Cressida, who had passed out.
Vale didn't think too much of it as he went to the Psychic, hoping to get a decent extraction.
[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
'Yes.'
[ Extraction successful. Incomplete Misdirection Spell Model +1 Energy +30 Intelligence +1.75 ]
'Reject the Spell Model…' Vale didn't hesitate as soon as he saw the incomplete Spell Model being extracted. With his current Extraction System, rejecting what he had extracted was not impossible, so it was quite useful.
As soon as he felt the disappearance of the useless Spell Model, Vale felt satisfied with the result.
The Energy and Intelligence Points he got were quite decent.
Though it was a pity that he didn't get a complete Spell Light or Spell Model because it was already a corpse, he was happy to take the 1.75 Intelligence Points.
However, he suddenly recalled the Divinity Points consumption of his Shadow Mutilation.
Even without checking his attribute panel, he knows that he was now only left with 2.78 Divinity Points.
He had to find a way to increase them someday.
In any case, he continued searching the Psychic to find anything valuable.
As expected, he found various things from him. It includes money, identification cards, two mystical items, and a badge with written words.
He noticed that the Psychic's name was Christopher Gates based on his identification card before he shifted his attention to the badge that seemed to have been made of crystal.
It was written in Soinetti, so Vale could read it quickly.
Order of the Oracle Hivemind.
"Not good." Vale froze in his spot as soon as he realized that he killed a member of the Phychic Art Faction's Elite Forces.
Vale felt that he should stop lurking around here, so he quickly glanced at the unconscious woman on the side.
Cressida was surrounded by Banshees, and people won't normally see them even with their Magic Zone because of how they hide their presence.
However, with Vale's Divine and Spirit Vision, there was no way he would fail to notice their presence.
He knew that if he approached her carelessly, these Banshees would tear him apart.
"Yvaine, can you send them away?" Vale asked his Dark Spirit.
Of course, he can also kill these Banshees using his Demonic Mask, but he just doesn't like using it at the moment. The Mask's side effect was still too much for him, so he planned to abuse this Mystical Item once it was repaired in the Academy.
Luckily, Yvaine didn't mind being put to work as she swiftly came out of his shadow and showed the Banshee the difference between a vengeful spirit and a genuine dark spirit of the Spirit World.
This was also an excellent way for Yvaine to recover her Spiritual Energy. He had been extracting people and creatures all this time, and Yvaine didn't get any to regain her energy.
Now, with all the Banshees in front of her, she couldn't wait to devour all of them.
Soon, the screeching noise created by the Banshees filled the surroundings, and perhaps, it even woke up the villagers not too far from them.
After about five minutes, the Banshees were gone, and Vale had free time to extract Cressida.
[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the Extraction? ]
"Yes…"
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +50 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Intelligence +0.55 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Agility +0.75 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Create: Shadow Soldier Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Successful. Incomplete Spell Light + 1 ]
[ Extraction Failed. ]
Vale then stopped his Extraction as soon as he failed.
He was already satisfied with this, and as he thought of searching Cressida's body for any valuable items, he heard the rustling of leaves not too far from him.
It can't be just some random animals since he already scanned the area a while ago. With this in mind, Vale quickly shifted his attention to the source of the noise and realized that someone had actually entered his Magic Zone and reached about 50 meters of him without being noticed!
'Tsk… Isn't that the 14-Slotted Arcanist!' Vale jolted as soon as he realized the identity of the person who had just arrived.
He would never forget this person who loved wearing red suits and trousers.
'What is he doing here?!' Vale had to quickly leave this place.
He may have fooled the police officers and the two Untainted Sentinels about his actual Arcane Path, but he felt different with this person.
Without any hesitation, he used 48 points to advance his Lightspeed to Level 5… He didn't feel satisfied with this and further pushed it to Level 6 by spending 96 more points.
'One more…'
In the end, Vale used another 192 points to advance its mastery to the Advanced Realm! He spent a total of 336 points, but Vale didn't regret it at all.
As soon as he confirmed that his advancement was successful, he left the place in a flash!
The moment Vale disappeared, a couple of silver legcuffs formed where he previously stood, barely missing his feet!
He was almost caught!
"What? He disappeared?!"
Clyde, the member of the Illustrious Liquidators, was dumbfounded as soon as he realized that his target had simply gone out of his Magic Zone's range! He was so confident that he would catch Clovis with his Mystic Arts!
Clyde stood on his spot for a few seconds as he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.
He looked in the direction where Clovis had disappeared before looking at the poor woman who had been attacked by that pervert in the middle of the night.
He shook his head at his incompetence in stopping that young man as he tried recalling what had just happened.
'That person is too weird. How can a Holy Arts Practitioner move that fast? That doesn't make any sense. Tsk… No wonder he escaped from those Sentinels..'
