Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Chapter 854: Summoning Here

"Mhmm?"

It was actually Vale who was surprised instead. He had no idea who this woman was. Though he could tell that she was the captain of the ship based on her uniform and the people following her, he still couldn't remember.

Realizing this, she immediately gestured for the others to leave.

As soon as they were alone, she immediately reported to Vale.

"Lord Vale, I am from the Arcane Bureau, and I am working for Agent Fox... You must know her. I'm not sure if you have already received the report, but my team discovered the presence of another Demon Saint hiding in our realm. We're on our way there to investigate. Are you also here to support us?"

Vale was a bit surprised after hearing this. Faith was supposedly coordinating with the Arcane Bureau. There was also Director Virgo in the Bureau who should be telling him about this. 'I guess it's not important, or I'm just too busy that they couldn't report to me.' He mused. "I'm not even aware of it. Where is that place, Captain Ashley?" He asked. Though he didn't recognize the woman, there was a nameplate on her chest, so he was aware of her name.

"It's actually in a small city in Pallham Empire." She replied.

"Do you know the rank of this Demon Saint?" Vale asked.

"Thanks to the Demon Saints that were under your command, we learned that this Demon Saint is most likely the Rank Zero. The one son of the current Demon Lord named Entei... However, it's also most likely that he's together with Antares, another unranked Demon Saint who only serves the Rank Zero."

"That's an interesting news... Very well, I'll join you. This mission is a bit too dangerous for you guys." Vale said as he decided to just make a quick visit to his castle later on to give Sloth's Soul to Denise.

Captain Ashley was overjoyed by this since the danger level of their mission would surely fall if the Shadow Immortal himself, who was able to save them from the Abyss Invasion, would join the investigation group.

After this small encounter, Vale decided to continue exploring the Airship. Well, he might have to consider designing one for himself, so it wasn't a bad thing to get some ideas.

As he walked around, he somehow reached the kitchen area, perhaps because of the smell of the food.

One of the ship's cook, an Alchemist named Thistle, brewed stardust tea, a famous tea among the noble Arcanistss after recognizing Vale...

Well, he was actually part of the Arcane Bureau...

"Thank you..." Vale said as he received the tea from the kind cook.

Its warmth seeped into his body, rekindling vitality.

It was no wonder that many Arcanists liked this tea...

"The leaves that were used were from Ice Roses only grown by Tier 3 Alchemists. They liked to call it a pinch of comet dust," Thistle said. "It keeps the weariness at bay."

Vale sipped and nodded.

"I like it..." Vale said as he gave the young cook a tip.

This time, his sensitivity had increased as he wanted to enjoy the taste of the tea. However, because of that, he also sensed a very weak presence of the Time Manipulator. It was subtle, but he felt it...

'Interesting... Are they Jin's companion?' Vale mused as he tried finding the fluctuation of energy he felt just now.

However, it was already completely hidden so he couldn't find it.

He also tried to use his divine sense, but it didn't bring any positive results.

'As expected of Time Manipulators. They're too difficult to catch unless they decide to show themselves.' Vale wryly smiled at this.

Nonetheless, since the Time Manipulator wasn't doing anything, he wasn't too inclined to search for them. He must be on vacation or just trying to live in peace, after all. There was no need to offend them.

After thinking of this, Vale left the area and went back to his... Soon, the night came and he decided to visit the observatory that held telescopes.

Vale adjusted one, peering into the void...

Of course, he wasn't here for sightseeing. He was here as he realized that the Holy Arts Practitioners were actually doing some ritual right now!

'I should've asked Ashley if she knows what's going on with those guys...' Vale mused as he stayed in the observatory deck to monitor the Arcanists in the Airship.

Meanwhile, Elysia, the Time Manipulator who had recently arrived in this Human Realm with other Time Manipulators, was currently disguised as an Alchemist...

She had recently passed the Alchemy Rank Examination and was currently a Tier 2 Alchemist. It wasn't too high or low. Just a level enough to obtain decent perks while roaming around this land.

She leaned against the Airship's railing while her gaze sweeping across the crowded deck. The presence of so many Dark Arts and Holy Arts practitioners intrigued her-two hundred of the former and thirty of the latter.

It was simply too suspicious.

"Is there some sort of trouble?" She muttered as she didn't want to get tangled in such trouble right now...

Why would so many practitioners of opposing arts converge here? What a bad timing...

As a Time Manipulator, she held an advantage. If this vessel turned into a battlefield, she could slip through the temporal seams, escaping unscathed.

As for the innocent people, she didn't care about them.

But her curiosity gnawed at her-since it had been quite peaceful lately, she was somehow looking forward to seeing some blood.

'Mhmmm?'

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. Her instincts had always saved her in various situations, and

they were actually telling her not to use any of her Temporal Spells right now.

For some reason, she felt that her Temporal Spells, even wielded subtly, might draw

attention and it could be perilous.

'Fine... Let's just see what happens...' She said to herself.

Thankfully, the day passed uneventfully.

However, as the night fell, Elysia's unease deepened.

The Holy Arts practitioners gathered in a circle as they started a ritual-and she recognized it.

'They're summoning an Angel here?!'
