Chapter 78 Ghost Hands

Flesh Bane was something that Vale had also considered before. This is indeed a good offensive Dark Spell so it guarantees that they have enough power against the creature.

"As expected from the Roland Family… I bet that Curse Spell isn't as simple as you said… Heh heh… I'm next. My first Spell Model is Dusk Imprisonment and the other is Darkness Coil." Neil said with a hint of pride.

Vale wasn't sure but it seems that the Darkness Coil is quite a rare one or a high-tier Dark Spell.

He wasn't sure if he had read about it since there are just too many spells but only a handful of them can be learned.

"You have good control-type support spells… Next," Leonore said as she looked at the others.

"I have Severe Ailment Spell and Ghost Hand…" Warren said. He actually has quite a simple set of spells which was quite unexpected. Nevertheless, Warren might really just be lucky to be able to eat the Pride Pomegranate. Without that lucky encounter, perhaps, he'll just be an average first-year student with these spells.

"My first spell model is called Dire Chains and the other is Spirit Hand." Aubrey Hall said with a hint of pride.

"Spirit Hand? That's not inferior to Spectral Hands, right?" Chad couldn't help but comment. He recalled how Wilfred Moontomb has Spectral Hands and passed the requirement to be a member of the Rankers Club. If Aubrey actually tried to fight for a position, she might also be recruited with this set of spells.

Aubrey smiled after hearing this.

"If it's in the Advanced Realm, it won't lose against the Spectral Hands. However, if both spells are in the Elementary Realm, the Spectral Hands would still win.

The others also revealed their spells and most of them have common Dark Spells. They were either Ghost Hand, Dusk Imprisonment, Dark Mist, Nightmare, or Ghastly Ailment which only requires 2 Spirit Strands in order to build their Spell Model.

Finally, it was Vale's turn. "I have Ghost Hands and another defensive Dark Spell that protects me from other spells."

"Oh? Is it similar to my Dark Mist? Or another version of it I'm unaware of?" Chad asked after hearing his words.

Vale smiled and replied with a nod. "Something like that."

At this time, Leonore already formulated a plan.

"Very well, we don't have many offensive spells. It's normal since we only have a set of beginner dark spells. Anyway, I want Aubrey's Dire Chains to be fully utilized. Those with Ghost hands must use them immediately and hold back the creature… The Dire Chains will give my Flesh Bane a boost in penetration ability so it must cover the creature before I use my Flesh Bane."

"Good plan…" Blair commented. He has Ghost Hands so approves of this plan. Other than holding down their target, the ghost hand isn't really useful. It's not meant for combat in the first place. Luckily, there were many of them with similar abilities so if they worked together, their Ghost Hands should do just fine.

"Neil, I want your Darkness Coil if the Dire Chains failed to hold out. Warren, instead of focusing on Ghost Hand, I'll need your Severe Ailment to disrupt the creature's natural healing capability… My Flesh Bane will be more effective with his compromised health." Leonore explained as she showed her knowledge of various Dark Spells.

Vale then waited for her specific instruction but she seemed to have ignored her. Anyway, she noticed that he was looking at her so she thought for a moment…

"Uhmm… I'm sure that your Ghost Hands are better than the others, I will trust you that you'll be able to hold the creature steady… There will be six or seven of you that will work together, anyway."

Leonore said. She wasn't really thinking much of Vale's Ghost Hands. After all, everyone here should have Elementary Realm Dark Spells. It means that Vale's Ghost Hands shouldn't be different from others. At most, he probably has a longer duration of Ghost Hands than the others considering his high Spirit Strand.

As for Vale's defensive ability, it may not be useful if the Creature will attack with brute force instead of a spell. In short, she believes that everything relies on her Flesh Bane.

"Time's up… Are you ready?" Professor Lucius said even though not even ten minutes had passed.

Leonore noticed this but she didn't complain and answered. "We're ready, Professor!"

"Good!"

Professor Lucius then allowed them to get into position as he confirmed that the other students had also backed away.

Then, without any more hesitations, he lifted the last seal that was on the cage…

"Good luck, show everything you've got…" The professor said as he glanced at the ten brave students.

As soon as the seal was removed, the creature inside felt it and swiftly dashed towards the exit!

However, that is where the professor was standing!

It ignored the ten students within the magic circle that has appeared and wanted to escape!

"I will let you escape if you win against these ten students…" Professor Lucius said calmly as his hands remained crossed behind his back.

"Liar!" The Creature spoke with a voice that seems to have come from the abyss. It was eerie and intimidating…

The students inside the circle were even affected by an invisible pressure that made their control of their dark spells slower.

There was one exception on them but he didn't interrupt the conversation between the Professor and the Creature.

"You're a liar! I won against the other students and you didn't let me leave!" The creature added.

It seems that it wasn't the first time that the Professor tricked this creature.

"I'm telling the truth. You just need to win a total of 100 times. I think you've already won a dozen times… or maybe more than that, you just have to continue winning." Professor Lucius said like a professional scammer.

The creature wanted to say more but at this time, Vale and the other finally made their moves…

A total of six small Ghost Hands and three large Ghost Hands appeared heading straight to the Creature's limbs!

"Someone has an Advanced Realm Ghost Hands!"

Felicia, who was only watching the show, immediately recognized the three terrifying Ghost Hands that Vale had summoned!
