Chapter 585 Failures

Chapter 585 Failures

As the dozen Shadow Soldiers engaged Magnus, Vale seized the opportunity to get closer to the old man's shadow, setting his plan into motion.

"Cursed Flame!" Magnus exclaimed.

He then pressed his hands together, and soon, the black flames coalesced and began swirling, eventually expanding to engulf all of the Shadow Soldiers at once.

Boom!

The sheer force behind the strike shattered the castle's windows, leaving a visible crack on the pillars and walls.

Magnus was going all out!

However, to Magnus's surprise, the Shadow Soldiers endured for more than 10 seconds, demonstrating remarkable resilience.

They seemed protected by an unknown force he couldn't identify.

Nevertheless, it only delayed the inevitable. The Shadow Soldiers perished after some time.

Then, at the same time, Magnus's Cursed Flame Spell duration had also ended, rendering him unable to utilize the Spell for a period of time.

Adapting swiftly, Magnus decided to employ a different Alchemy Art. His strongest Fire-Related Spell was actually the Cursed Flame Spell. Now that he couldn't use it, he had to use another Spell that would work well against Vale.

"Incinerator's Flame!" Magnus muttered as blue flame started accumulating in his right fist.

Although not as potent as the Cursed Flame, this fiery manifestation possessed the unique ability to dispel Dark Arts' hexes, curses, and even necromantic spells.

This should be a good counter against a Dark Practitioner like Vale.

However, as Magnus invoked the Incinerator's Flame, he was suddenly wracked by a sharp pain in his abdomen.

"Ugh..." Magnus grunted as he felt a person close to him.

To his astonishment, Vale was already standing right beside him.

"You!" Magnus exclaimed, perturbed by his failure to detect Vale's presence. This content originates from n0v3lbin•

'He's too close to me, but my Magic Zone didn't notice him! What was that Spell?!'

Unaware of what had transpired, Magnus felt his Energy Flow disrupted, causing the premature cessation of the Incinerator's Flame.

This had never happened before. This message would only normally appear if the target had been extracted a lot already. However, that was obviously not the case with Magnus.

"Get off me!"

Magnus shouted as he burst out with a fiery aura...

It appears that his main Arcane Arts was still the Alchemy Art. This would certainly provide a higher control over flames, but in the end, it wasn't as terrifying as Vale thought.

He easily moved away, but he didn't plan to end his assault here.

Vale decided to surprise Magnus!

As he fully activated his Meridian Access, he burst with Aura, exceeding the pressure that Magnus was emitting.

This time, there was no way for Magnus to dismiss the Aura he had felt.

"You're a Combat Arts practitioner... So I didn't make a mistake when I felt it a while ago." Magnus muttered as he pulled out his Grimoire.

It wasn't to summon a familiar to block Vale's incoming fist!

Bam!

The Grimoire and Vale's Gorrila Punch collided and created a small shockwave in the area.

Magnus stepped back a couple of times because of the impact, but it wasn't enough to defeat him.

"Haha! Good punch! However, you still lack experience!" Magnus shouted as his eyes turned red.

He successfully activated a Spell during this time!

Vale didn't seem to notice this as he pounced on Magnus without any care...

"Die!" Magnus shouted, expecting his eyes to release a Deathly Light.

It was one of his strongest Dark Spells, and he felt it would be a good way to end his opponent's life.

However, to his surprise, nothing happened.

Vale continued on his pounce and held him by his throat!

"Uck! H-how?!" Magnus was shocked as he struggled to remove Vale's hand.

'It's Spell Dispersion...' Vale smirked and answered in his mind.

Then, he continued with his Extraction, but this time, he didn't use the Auto Extraction and aimed at Magnus's Spell, the Cursed Flame.
