Chapter 197 Discovery



Vale's heart started beating faster as he read the messages brought by the system upgrade. He didn't expect that exceeding the hundred mark of the Divinity Points would result in such an upgrade!

'Two Special Spell Slots? No wonder the others can't record any of these spells… It requires a different form of Spell Light.'

This was such a pleasant surprise, and it made him really excited.

Finally, he's getting to know more and more things about his Divine Extraction System!

After confirming that no new notifications were popping up, he swiftly checked his attribute panel to see the changes.

[ Name: Kyle Marshall ]

[ Attributes: Strength 29.65, Agility 23.82, Intelligence 51.17, Vitality 25.44 ]

[ Dark Arts: Spell Dispersion Lv4, Ghost Hand Lv7, Incorruptible Body Lv6, Darkness Manipulation Lv2 ]

[ Available Energy: 285 ]

[ Available Divinity: 4.78 ]

Well, it was still the same.

However, he didn't feel dejected as he entered his Phantasm State and checked his body.

'This…'

He can still see his four active Spell Lights and 11 inactive Spell Lights, but on their side were a couple of golden lights, and for some reason, Vale believes that these Spell Lights can accommodate those Planar Spells!

'It looks beautiful… Now, do I just record those Spell Models? If I can record them, then what Planar Spell should I choose?' Vale thought to himself as he saw the two golden balls of light in his body.

The Meteor Summoning Spell is quite enticing, but he feels it is too destructive for his own good. He might not just kill his enemy with that spell but include himself in the casualties.

Ash Resurrection was a pretty awesome revival spell, but he'd rather find a Spell to avoid death. After all, based on the book he read, this Ash Resurrection comes with a steep price. There is a chance that he could no longer practice any Arcane Arts after being resurrected in this method.

Anyway, he still placed it on the third of his list since there is still a small chance that he will get resurrected with a better physique and talent.

After a moment of thought, he ignored the Water Embodiment and Avatar Creation.

Water Embodiment requires a rare potion used by Elementalists, which isn't easy to acquire. As for the Avatar Creation, he would have to tear a part of his soul to do that. He didn't like the idea of having his soul divided… He might consider this if he can also see his Soul Attribute.

In the end, he was left with Shadow Mutilation, Body Restoration, and Divine Lightning Call.

Vale then looked again for The Strange Spells of the Ancient World book to read more about these Spell Models.

This time, opening the book didn't give him a trace of wisdom as if it was just an ordinary book. He didn't mind it since it must have an effect of only being effective once.

He flipped the pages quickly and found what he was looking for.

Shadow Mutilation allows him to kill his target by mutilating their shadows. It was an excellent ability since attacking your target's shadow is much easier and more unpredictable.

However, aside from the normal Spell Recording process, it also requires him to consume another Darkness Possession Potion. It says in the book that while the potion is being digested, the Otherworldly Being will suppress it for the Practitioner while the latter completes the Spell Recording in their Spell Light.

It is quite a complicated process, as one would expect for a Spell that Arcane Arts Practitioners could no longer record.

"This is a good choice…" Vale nodded as he found the other spell.

Body Restoration, on the other hand, was a better alternative to the Ash Resurrection Spell. However, it feels as if it would be too excessive to use since he knows that once his Incorruptible Body turned into its Advanced Realm, it would have some similar effects.

Perhaps it wouldn't be as better as the Planar Spell, but it shouldn't be too far from it.

As for the last spell, it was the Call of the Divine Lightning. 

Just like its name, Vale could summon a lightning strike using this spell. It wouldn't come from his body, but the lightning will strike through the help of the sky.

It means that the spellcaster can avoid the limelight when casting this spell!

Of course, the only problem with this spell is that it can only be effective in an open space. It means that using it in a duel at a closed arena is impossible.

The roof will block it, and even if he forcefully used it, he would destroy the place instead.

Vale wryly smiled at this thought as he made up his mind. He would learn the Shadow Mutilation and the Call of the Divine Lightning Spell.

After making this decision, Vale finally shifted his attention to the leather-bound book that had given him the 5 Divinity Points.

'I wonder if this book will teach me about the Immortals.' Vale mused as he took a deep breath before flipping its cover.

When he opened it, a trace of wisdom entered his mind. He wasn't surprised by this sensation as his focus remained on the book.

The book was written in Oardic, so it wasn't easy to read. Furthermore, it was written by hand and not through a printing press!

He couldn't read some characters but could understand most of them through context clues.

To his surprise, this book isn't a lecture book but a biography. It was a story of a man named Clovis Rosenvine.

"This…" Vale was stunned as he continued reading the book.

Its content was mostly about his adventure in the sea in the year 330, which was more than 500 years ago! It means that the Twelve Arcane Path at this stage hasn't fully developed yet.

In addition to that, he finally understood why this book had become an Immortal Fragment… The book itself has bathed in the blood of a real Immortal!

This discovery made Vale excited as he found more clues about the Immortals.
