Chapter 573 Fused

Chapter 573 Fused

Faith did not feel any threat after looking at the castle. At most, it seemed quite intimidating if viewed from afar. Furthermore, once at night, this castle would really look like a haunted one.

However, despite spreading her Magic Zone to the limit and using her Spirit Sense, she failed to find the said Vampire or even its familiars.

'Did it flee after the commotion last night?' Faith mused as several scenarios about last night's events occurred in her mind.

The Vampire might've been caught in the crossfire between the kingdom's soldiers and the rebels, or perhaps the Vampire was the target all along.

Anyway, Faith had no interest in exploring the castle, but she had to find any traces or clues in that castle...

She had a feeling that this castle would help her find what she was looking for.

Soon, she reached the main door, which was open and broken.

After several more inspections of her Spirit Sense, she cast a Spell to hide her presence and entered the castle. Then, she started using a stronger inspection spell, Spirit Vision.

Then, she saw signs of a fight all over the place.

There were scorch marks, blood stains, broken furniture, and shattered glass. There were also skeletons around, some of them wearing the uniforms of the kingdom's soldiers and some of them wearing the robes of Arcanists. They were all killed by various means.

'The traces of battle look recent, but they're already skeletons? What's going on here?' Faith felt confused.

It seems that after the battle of the airships in the sky, the kingdom's soldiers rested in this castle only to be met with a gruesome death. nOvelbIn

"It's weird..." Faith muttered as the traces she found looked quite unusual.

She searched the bodies, hoping to find more clues or information.

However, she found nothing but broken weapons, coins, and some personal items.

She had no other choice but to move on, deeper into the castle.

She explored the castle, room by room. She saw more signs of destruction and death. She also saw some strange and creepy things, such as paintings of pale and sinister faces, statues of bats and wolves, and books of dark and forbidden lore.

Normal people would be so helpless on this Spell and would die if they didn't have the antidote they needed.

Nevertheless, Clovis didn't stop, as he knew that he had to get stronger Spells.

He already had enough movement spells and support spells. He was currently lacking offensive spells that could turn the tides of battle. After all, he couldn't just rely on his Celestial Art, as it consumes a lot of Divinity Points.

After some time, he selected other spells he'd Fuse later on. There was a cooldown for the Fuse Function of the System, so he had to wait for a while.

After looking at his Spell Models, he thought of Fusing the Life Detection Spell he recently obtained and Divine Sense... It was a Fusion of Elemental and Holy Spell.

If the Fusion Spell result were good, he would go with it.

However, if the Spell Fusion result were bad, he'd cancel it and add the Spirit Vision instead.

Apparently, fusing from different Arcane Paths was difficult. The results could be terrible, especially if they don't have the same essence or effects.

Because of that, he had to experiment a lot, or at least, he had to do more research in various Spell Fusion Books he could find.

One of the solutions he discovered was to add more Spell!

As he was thinking of another set of Spells to be fused, a commotion occurred in the room.

"Ah! Someone's breaking the seal!" Pearl exclaimed as she only sensed the intruder of the castle when the seal that she created was attacked!

Clovis was instantly awakened by Yvaine and snapped out of his trance.

Then, he quickly glanced at the door and saw that it was already open!

Without delay, he used his Divine Sense to identify the intruder while also using his Morph to alter his appearance.

However, his Divine Sense failed him again, so he had to rely on his Eagle Eye and Spirit Vision.

Soon, he spotted a familiar woman.

It was the enigmatic lady of the Exchange Hall.

"Manager Faith?" Clovis said in surprise as he changed back to his Vale Chambers' appearance.
