Chapter 279 Attack



"Y-you… You defeated Vice Captain Ashe?!" North couldn't help but raise his voice after hearing what Vale said.

He could tell that Vale was only about 15 to 17 years old based on his appearance. If he defeated the Vice Captain in a fair duel, then this young man was definitely a genius! No, perhaps he was simply disguising himself as a young student!

Vale gently nodded to the Information Broker before leaving with his money. Although Sir North would probably not change his mind, it was better to be safe.

'Indeed… He must be using a Spell or a Mystical Item to disguise himself as a young man. No wonder he dared to rescue a student imprisoned in that Castle!'

North added in his mind as he was left in his seat, dumbfounded at this realization. He suddenly had the urge to leave his post and just visit the Vice Captain of the Sixth Squad to know more about Eustace.

In the meantime, Vale wasn't interested in Sir North's thoughts as he headed to the Mystic Arts Practitioners that had targeted him a while ago.

Now that he knew the situation in Murton Castle, it was time to deal with those suspicious Arcanists who had blocked him in the streets.

He activated his Divine Sense to confirm the location of those two…

Since he knew that Murton Castle was filled with powerful Arcanists, there was no way he would rush there immediately. The corrupt officers in this city would be a good source of Energy Points for him.

'I can't be too stingy now… Although I don't want my Shadow Soldier and other skills to reach the Advance Realm, I have to advance them now, or I may not have a chance to do so.'

Vale silently thought as he planned not to use any of his Planar Spells or Celestial Arts in this mission unless it was a life-and-death situation.

To ensure he wouldn't be in such a bad situation, leveling up his other skills would be his best option.

One of the Spells that could be very useful was the Shadow Soldier Spell. He still couldn't forget how Headmaster Jean used this Spell to make his target fight his own Shadow!

Spawning a Shadow Soldier from your enemy's Shadow was something he also wanted to try. However, it doesn't seem possible unless his mastery has reached the Advanced Realm.

Lastly, he also wanted his Spell Dispersion to level up. If possible, he wanted to push it to the peak of the Advanced Realm.

Unfortunately, after leveling up his Human Shapeshift Spell to level 6, it cost him 189 points, leaving him with only 324 Available Energy Points. There was no way he could advance his Spell Dispersion Spell to his desired level.

Soon, Vale found himself in front of a huge building. After scanning it with his Phantasm State, he realized that it was a cotton mill.

The machines were very loud, and they thundered relentlessly.

Plenty of workers were inside, all working in such terrible conditions. They do not have proper protective gear, and based on how the mills work, they would certainly catch a lung disease at this rate. They'd probably inhaled most of the dust in the yarn as they worked on them.

It was also crowded with children around the age of 10 doing dangerous tasks, such as clearing blockages on spinning frames in mills. He even noticed a few children being beaten after making a mistake or so.

After seeing this in his Magic Zone, he finally recalled that this world wasn't filled with the matters of the Arcanists.

'I guess I could help them a bit…' Vale silently thought as he looked at the Arcanists who had made a secret headquarters in the basement of this factory.

Without any hesitation, Vale entered the factory. He used his Extrasensory Perception Spell to remove his presence and Lightspeed Spell to hurry inside.

With his Agility and Lightspeed Spell, he was confident that no one could catch a glimpse of him.

He passed through the workers quite easily before arriving at the secret door heading to the basement. It was open, so he entered it without any issues.

At this time, he already sensed the presence of 12 Mystic Arts Practitioners. 

"They seem to be guarding something here…" Vale muttered as it was so weird that 12 Arcanists would actually gather in this barely lit basement!

They even have a huge factory above ground to ensure that their operations here would go undetected.

It seemed he had entered a huge warehouse as the place was filled with crates or wooden boxes.

'What are these things? It's actually limiting my Phantasm State's senses?'I think you should take a look at

Vale was shocked. No wonder he was having difficulty scanning this place.

If he didn't use his Divine Sense's Tracking Mark on those two suspicious men, there was no way he would find this place because of the content of the crates in this basement!

It seemed that he had discovered something huge in this place!

"Who's there?!"

Unfortunately, he had no time to investigate as he seemed to have triggered a Formation Circle. They found him.

A few Mystic Spells were suddenly used as they headed straight towards him.

'Hmph!'

Vale waved his hands as he used a wide-range Spell Dispersion, erasing a total of 6 Spell in one go…

"Elementalist?!"

"We have an intruder! Quick! Report this to the Captain!"

"Don't let the man escape!"

Vale heard their words as he was curious why they thought he was an Elementalist after removing their Spells simultaneously.

He couldn't help but wonder if the Elementalists have similar dispersion abilities.

Anyway, Vale had no plans of making this a long battle. He's not here to test his Spells or to chat with them.

Without hesitation, he summoned his Ghost Hands to attack the two people planning to report the situation to their Captain.

Then he also made his move as he showed them his terrifying Agility!

Since they weren't using any Field Type Spells to block or slow down his movement, he was free to move everywhere!

As soon as he got near his target, he would use his Cursed Breath and give them a slight jab.

"S-shit! He's not an Elementalist! He's a Knight!"

With his Meridian Access being active and his 31 Power Strands, his slight jab on their sternum made them fold to the ground easily.

The Mystic Arts Practitioners tried to restrain Vale, but their Spells couldn't lock on him! Since they couldn't target him, their Spells kept missing!

"Y-you! Aren't you the Summoner?!"

Finally, one of the men who was marked by his Divine Sense recognized Vale.nov?\?\o\?

However, none of that matters, as he was the only guy left.

He saw the young man's palms zooming on his face. He was terrified.

He wanted to use his Spells, but for some reason, his Spells kept dissipating whenever he triggered his Spell Model!

Vale smiled at the man's despairing look as he triggered his system.

[ Living Human has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
