Chapter 172 Unknown Purpose



'Available Divinity? It's also an expendable point similar to Energy… But how can I use it?'

Vale squinted his brows as once again, there is no instruction whatsoever in his flawed system. It would be great if it can give hints on how to use it but anyway, he didn't dwell on it for too long and started experimenting…

He first checked his skills.

[ Consume 800 energy points to improve Spell Dispersion? ]

This would certainly not work as he only has 570 points saved up. After a moment of thought, he decided to still try and improve it to see if there is something different that would happen.

[ Failed. You are missing 230 points to complete the upgrade. ]

Vale didn't feel too disappointed since this is the expected result.

Anyway, he moved on quickly and tried focusing on his Attributes instead just in case he would get a reaction.

Unfortunately, there was no other notification coming from the system.

'This is weird… It doesn't have any use at the moment but why is that?' Vale frowned as he analyzed his situation.

Divinity Points should have a purpose and there was no way it is just a decoration.

Soon, an idea popped up in his mind.

Since the Energy Points are used to enhance or upgrade his Dark Arts or his Arcane Arts, perhaps Divinity Points are used to upgrade Divine Arts? In the first place, was there even a Divine Art?

Vale sighed as can't really prove this with his limited knowledge. He is only in the 3rd month of his first Academy Year!

In the end, he gave up thinking about it and he decided to just continue with his extraction…

'Lotus… Are you sure you can't replenish energy from them? I'll be extracting all of them if you don't…'

Lotus seem to be confused but she still answered.

'Yes… I can't recover my energy from these unordinary bodies. Also, what do you mean you're extracting them?' Lotus asked curiously.

This is the first time that Lotus seems genuinely curious about him so it was quite a surprise.

'Ahem… It's just a metaphor… Don't think too much of it.' Vale replied after clearing his throat. In any case, it's hard to explain his Divine Extraction System.

Luckily, Lotus didn't press further with her questions as she remained silent.

Vale then looked around the room and confirmed that there is a total of 12 white stone beds with human-looking corpses on them.

Now that he observed them closely, he realized that these corpses don't have genitalia!

All of them have missing sex organs or perhaps, they were born that way…

'So this is a Celestial? A human-like being with no gender… They look taller than average humans and have bigger bone structures… Where did they come from? Spiritual World?' Vale shook his head as he extracted them first.

[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

[ Extraction successful. Divinity +1.8 Vitality +0.5]

This time, the extraction of divinity was higher but the Vitality Points remained the same…

Vale then continued with the other ten Celestial Corpses.

[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

[ Celestial corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

…

After a few extractions, Vale felt himself expanding as if he was about to explode… He realized that he was advancing too fast!

Now that he thinks about it, he isn't getting 0.05 Vitality Points but 0.50! That was actually a huge deal! He was focused too much on this Divinity thing that he forgot that huge Vitality he was getting from each extraction!

After calming the raging vitality force that was sent to his body, he checked his attribute panel.

[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]

[ Attributes: Strength 20.85, Agility 16.32, Intelligence 51.17, Vitality 16.19 ]

[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv4, Ghost Hand Lv7, Incorruptible Body Lv5, Darkness Manipulation Lv2 ]

[ Available Energy: 570 ]

[ Available Divinity: 19.7 ]

Vale was exhilarated after seeing the huge increase in his Vitality Points...

16.19!

That was such an incredible increase and he had only extracted the Celestial Corpses… He was expecting a few more addition with the Monster Corpses he was seeing on the other white stone beds.

As for his Divinity Points, he was quite happy since the lowest extract was 1.5 points while the highest was 1.9 points.  Although he has no idea about its usage, he knows that the higher, the better.

'Awesome… I wonder how Headmaster Jean collected these corpses… Did he kill all of them? Is he already that strong? Or perhaps he just found these corpses and transported them here?' Vale couldn't help but speculate at these strange corpses in this basement that seems like a bunker.

He then looked at the Monster Corpses that he hadn't extracted yet… These beings have similarities with the Evil Creature or Fallen Messenger that he killed in the Serenity Hall so he guessed that they will also be recognized as Monster Corpses by the system.

He touched the largest one. It is a horned being with a scaled body similar to a reptile. However, it still has human-like features with its two arms and two legs. If he would describe it, the corpse was like the demons in some paintings he had seen in his previous life.

[ Monster corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

Vale smiled after seeing that he was right. The previous monster corpse he extracted had given him 40 Energy Points and Attribute Points in both Agility and Vitality.

He was, of course, expecting something similar or even something better.

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +50 Strength +1.05 Agility +1.25 ]

Whom~

Vale felt his body getting a lot stronger. The extraction had given him a whole point after all! This increase was quite significant and with his low attribute, the sudden increase can easily be felt in his body…
