Chapter 645 Mastered

As the Pontiff spoke, the storm cloud flashed with lightning and thundered with sound.

The Storm Knights, who were busy practicing their skills or doing various tasks, heard the Pontiff's voice and felt his will.

They quickly prepared themselves, and a few of them opened their grimoires and summoned their mounts!

They were flying beasts, such as griffins and pegasi. They gathered below the storm cloud, and waited for the Pontiff to lead them.

As for the others, they called for their war horses and waited for instructions.

In the meantime, the Pontiff mounted his own summoned flying beast, a giant eagle, and flew into the storm cloud. Needless to say, the Pontiff practices two or maybe even more Arcane Paths!This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Meanwhile, Vale was oblivious to the fact that his brief burst of energy as a Shadow Celestial had caused a huge uproar among the experts around the world.

He had no clue that the Half-Immortals were on their way to the place where they had sensed his aura that surpassed the limit of the Human Realm.

At this moment, he was only focused on adapting to his new physique. Before he could do this, he needed a suitable environment to test his skills.

Vale arranged the Animus Haven Hall's Magic Circle at the castle's underground hall. This enabled him to obtain a perfect place that could prevent his energy from leaking and damaging the castle's structure.

Even though the castle was safeguarded by a Formation Art powered by a pair of Dragons, he knew that he had to be cautious.

He then began to explore his innate power as a Shadow Celestial in the underground hall.

'I don't even feel like a human anymore...'

Vale was amazed by his new abilities and potential.

It was never taught in the Academy, and he had never heard of it either!

Furthermore, he could control it with his mind and make it do whatever he wanted. He didn't need to do a tiring ritual to transform it!

"I'm glad I didn't sell it at that time." Vale muttered.

As he continued exploring this item, he was impressed by his Doombringer Ring, and he felt that it was a perfect match for him.

After he was satisfied with this, he then tried to use his shadow energy to empower his other Magic Artifacts, such as his Altering Necklace, his Devil's Face, his Enigma Amulate, and others.

He found that he could improve their functions and capacities, but as he initially discovered, they were only temporary until the Shadow Energy dispersed. Nevertheless, this was an amazing discovery.

Vale spent several more hours familiarizing himself with his Shadow Celestial physique, experimenting with his newfound abilities, and testing his spells to discern the extent of his enhancements.

As dawn broke on the following day, he emerged from the underground hall, content with his progress.

As he walked out of the castle to get some sunlight, he saw Pearl outside who was doing the same.

Pearl smiled as she saw Vale approaching. She looked at him curiously as she noticed his changes.

"I believe you're nearly prepared to confront the Abyss Realm..." She softly said.

"I'm not sure about that..." Vale replied with a gentle smile on his face.

Pearl then hugged him and kissed him gently... or that was what was supposed to happen.

However, before she could even get closer, Vale immediately felt the Shadow Essence in his body suppressing his Divinity that was leaking out.

Pearl also came to her mind as she looked at Vale with a helpless smile on her face.

"Our Divinity is too similar. It's still trying to become one..."
