Chapter 746 Blessed
[ Demonic Being has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
This was the message that had appeared after Vale grasped the Demon.
On the other hand, Greed had no idea what was about to happen, but he could tell that the Shadow Immortal was about to do something. With that in mind, he quickly tried to gather his strength to push away the Immortal.
However, Vale's extraction had already started!
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Spell Light + 1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Spell Light + 1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Spell Light + 1 ]
"So it's quite similar to the Demon Saints?" Vale mused after getting the results of extractions.
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Demon Eyes Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Soul Extractor Spell Model ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +600, Corrupted Divinity +50, Vitality +0.9, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Complete Demonic Transformation Spell Model ]
Then, the second batch of extractions brought him two new Spell Models since he already has Demon Eyes, which he received from the slumbering Demon Saints in Mausoleum.
"You—" Greed's eyes turned wide as he felt a huge chunk of his energy start disappearing!
It wasn't difficult to connect that it was Vale who had done something to him.
Luckily, however, the energy, essence, spell models, and everything that had disappeared were from the host or from Malrath himself.
Greed wasn't included in the extraction that was happening.
However, as he thought that he was safe from this and was thinking of leaving the body before it was too late, something horrifying happened.
"Got it..." Vale muttered as Greed realized that the part of his soul that descended to this Human Realm was weakening!
Apparently, from the depths of Greed's essence, Vale drew forth three distinct manifestations of the Sin's power!
[ Extraction Successful. Avarice Flame Spell Model, Greed Essence +1000 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Hoarding Shadow Spell Model, Greed Essence +1000 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Dominion Thirst Spell Model, Greed Essence +1000 ]
"What have you done!" Greed cried out as he realized that his Soul Essence had weakened a lot!
On the other hand, Vale simply ignored him as he accepted all the Spell Models to his body!
He soon understood the power of each spell. As he checked all of them, he realized that they were a lot more similar to the Psychic Arts.
Avarice's Flame Spell. This spell conjures an ethereal flame that embodies the insatiable desire for wealth and power.
Holy Smites rained down, Divine Lightning descended from the sky... Yet, Greed endured, its form battered but unbroken.
As the corruption in his hands intensified, Vale had to release Greed from his hands.
Vale then healed himself quickly while using his Shadow Divinity to contain the movement of the Demon.
It wanted to flee immediately, but Vale didn't allow that.
"Astral Chains..."
This was one of the Dimensional Creature's spells, something that even Greed hadn't expected to see.
"You—" Greed watched as the Astral Chains wrapped around him, constricting tighter with each passing second.
Then, Vale continued with his extraction!
"This is not over, Shadow Immortal! I will return stronger!"
Finally, with an increase of Divine Energy, Vale completed the extraction.
Greed's essence was torn asunder, its power stripped away and sealed within Vale's keeping!
Demon Saint Malrath, now a mere husk of its former self, collapsed, defeated and powerless.
Vale smiled at this as he closed his eyes for a brief moment...
On the other hand, as the dust settled and the echoes of their clash faded into silence, the Beast Arts Practitioners approached. Their expressions were of awe and gratitude.
"You have saved us all... Thank you, Shadow Immortal..." Sylvana said, her voice filled with reverence.
Vale didn't respond for a while, and the Practitioners thought that Vale was injured. They couldn't help but express their worry.
However, after a few moments, when they were about to examine Vale closely, they saw him opening his eyes, his mysterious smile returning once more.
"Mhmm... You guys can try targeting the weaker Demon Saints from now on. Let me see your weapons." Vale suggested, his voice calm yet imbued with an underlying intention.
The Practitioners' worry turned to excitement as they presented their weapons to Vale.
It didn't take long before swords, guns, and daggers were laid before him.
Sylvana, her intuition as sharp as her blade, voiced the question that was on everyone's mind. "Are you going to bless our weapons?"
Everyone already somewhat guessed by Vale's confirmation was still needed as they couldn't contain their excitement anymore.
Vale nodded, his smile widening. "Indeed. Your courage has earned you this boon. With my Shadow Divinity, your weapons will become beacons of darkness to strike fear into the hearts of demons."
As soon as these words were said, the group of Beast Arts Practitioners erupted in cheer!
One by one, Vale took the weapons in his hands.
His touch was light, but the power that flowed from him was profound.
Shadows swirled around the weapons, weaving intricate patterns of shadow energy that seemed to pulse with a life of their own.
