Chapter 79 Battle

There were five realms of spells. The weakest was the elementary realm followed by the intermediate realm and the advanced realm. These three realms are the ones considered "achievable" while the last two are called the expert realm and perfect realm which is simply a legend for almost all of the Arcane Paths.

The expert realm had only been seen once in the past three hundred years while the perfect realm is simply something that they've seen on the records.

Needless to say, Vale's advanced realm Ghost Hands should be something that not even the graduates of the Academy would achieve!

There may be people who were capable of doing that but they would certainly not focus their time on this support-type Dark Spell! They would rather have intermediate realm Tier 2 Dark Spell than advanced realm Tier 1 Dark Spell.

'This… Is the Headmaster aware of this?' Professor Lucius was also stunned after seeing the three Ghost Hands summoned by Vale. If he wasn't mistaken, these hands can still increase their size if Vale has enough Spiritual Force…

This was simply inconceivable. He had never seen a 13 or 14-year-old practitioner capable of promoting their Dark Spells to the Advanced Realm!

Did he start learning his Dark Spell as soon as he came out of his mother's womb?

As Lucius and the other students were shocked by the Ghost Hands, the Creature also felt some danger coming from it.

Nevertheless, Ghost Hands is still one of the most common Dark Spells out there… It only needs a few moments in order to escape from its grasp. Even if it seems stronger, it shouldn't be capable of harming his tough skin. What it was worried about was the few Dark Spells that would land on him the moment he gets entangled by the Ghost Hands.

Bam!

Several Ghost Hands landed on the creature's body. However, except for Vale's Ghost Hands, all the others have dissipated like a mist.

The three Ghost Hands with seemingly wrinkled skin grabbed the arms and neck of the creature!

"Now!" Vale shouted as he wasn't sure whether his Ghost Hands can last for long. This is his first encounter with this creature after all.

Luckily, Leonore and the others were attentively watching the situation so as soon as they saw the large Ghost Hands grabbing that creature who had approached the professor, they immediately release their Dark Spells.

Black chains started wrapping over the body of the creature as Aubrey's Dire Chains were activated.

Clank… Clank… Clank…

The chains were being broken apart by the struggling creature but they would immediately repair themselves as Aubrey continued to supply her Dark Spell with her energy.

Even with the Ghost Hands suppressing its position, it could still squirm about and casually destroy the chains!

Then, Leonore's Flesh Bane finally arrived…

"Aaaahhhh!"

The Creature cried in pain as the Magic Circle on the ground started getting stronger. It was as if the Seal was trying to suppress the Creature's burst of power!

A part of the Creature's chest started rotting as the Dire Chains moved like snakes until it covers even its mouth...

"We're doing it! Hurry up! Release all the curse spells. Bombard it with whatever you can throw!" Leonore said in excitement as she that the Creature can feel pain.

To be honest, she was afraid that this creature doesn't feel pain since it had basically occupied a human corpse. It shouldn't have any pain receptors anymore.

However, it seems that the creature had reconstructed a new body out of the human corpse making it completely different from what it was before.

The Ghost Hands that were dissipated a while suddenly started forming once more… Unfortunately, most of them were incapable of doing a dual-casting… It means that they can't use both Spell Models at the same time.

The only exception was Leonore, Vale, Aubrey, and Warren…

Leonore was able to use her second spell that could amplify the pain felt by her target. Aubrey had also used her Spirit Hand after her Dire Chains became stable.

The Spirit Hands appear like it was from a female hand and look more illusory. It was completely unlike Vale's Ghost Hands… The ones Vale had summoned looked more like a floating hand of death than a ghost.

This Spirit Hand rushed toward the Creature's eyes in an attempt to blind it while being held by Vale's monstrous Ghost Hands.

In the meantime, Warren used his Severe Ailment Spell to weaken the creature's resistance against the Flesh Bane and Dire Chains…

"Incredible! They're winning?"

"Can they actually kill the Evil Creature…"

"Perhaps it was already too weak. Ugh, I should've joined them."

"Indeed… That one contribution point would've been a great reward."

"What a pity…"

Everything was going well for the next 30 seconds or so as the Creature remained in place with the cooperation of the ten students. It was continuously getting injured and its situation is getting worse.

The Flesh Bane Dark Spell continued spreading throughout its body and it might kill the creature in a few more minutes!

The watching students were getting excited by the fact that their classmates can suppress the terrifying creature. Some of them regretted their inaction... They could've been the ones earning that contribution point!

However, as they were planning to applaud their classmates, something unexpected happened!

The creature that was suppressed by Vale's Ghost Hands started getting large all of a sudden… The Ghost Hands can no longer suppress the Creature as it had to release its hands and tried pressing on it instead.

Furthermore, those with pathetic Dark Spells had already fully consumed their energy and had to wait for a while before they can cast them again.

'This…' Vale frowned at the sudden change of the creature's physique.

'It's already injured and weakened but it can still win against my Ghost Hands. How can we even win against this? Is it really impossible from the start?' Vale sighed as he saw the creature become 2 times bigger.

He then noticed Leonore looking at him from the side.

"Vale, my Flesh Bane has all been used up. Luckily, the Flesh Bane's effect wouldn't be treated by this creature anytime soon. We still have a chance…" Leonore said as she also looked at the others.

She wanted to instruct them on what to do but they already spoke before she could even ask.

"Leonore… We can't use any of our spells anymore."

"We've lost. Let's just surrender."
