Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Novel

Chapter 486 Manager Faith

Manager Faith exuded an air of calmness as she sensed the approaching enemy.

Without a hint of fear, she materialized a walking cane and held it firmly with both hands, poised for action.

With a resounding thud, the cane struck the floor, and in an instant, ethereal spirits materialized around her.

These were not the typical spirits of the deceased that necromancers or ritualists could summon, but rather, they appeared to be Spirit Warriors. They were powerful entities emanating icy energy.

More than a dozen of these formidable warriors surrounded Manager Faith, their presence heightening the tension in the room. Their spectral forms exuded an aura of death itself!

Suddenly, the door of the hall transformed into a human figure. It was certainly the third guardian of the Transformation Arts Faction.

He stepped forward and addressed Manager Faith.

"Madam Faith, there is no need for you to resort to such measures. We are not here to harm you. In fact, if anything, it is the Dark Arts Faction that poses a greater danger to you. They are the ones who will probably put you on the experiment table and not us. Our purpose is simply to claim the treasures you have hidden. Once we have done so, we will allow you to leave unharmed." He said with a calm voice while looking at the Spirit Warriors warily.

"Indeed… You should know the two of us and what we are capable of. This isn't a bad deal." The old man from the Prime Wisemen said as his clothes started glowing with Runic Symbols.

Manager Faith's expression remained unchanged as she listened to their words. With a cold smile, she responded.

"Yes. I heard about the two of you... But all I know is that you both hail from prominent families within your respective factions. Mr. Paterson and Mr. Wigram."

She heard about the Paterson Family since they are one of the three main families of the Transformation Arts Faction. Similarly, the Wigram Family was renowned as the strongest family in the Rune Arts Faction. As a matter of fact, the Sommerhalder Family, to which Neil belonged, operated under the guidance of the Wigram Family.

"If you believe that you're both capable enough, then by all means, attempt to claim the treasures." Manager Faith taunted the two, her words laced with confidence.

With an understanding that diplomacy had reached its limits, the two men sighed in resignation and started releasing their spells.

Mr. Paterson underwent a remarkable transformation, morphing into a fearsome werewolf with razor-sharp claws and menacing fangs!

Awooo!

The werewolf then started lunging toward Manager Faith with ferocious intent! He was brimming with power and seemed like a real beast of the Moonlight Realm!

Simultaneously, Mr. Wigram unleashed his Rune Arts, tapping into their potent capabilities that were specifically crafted to combat entities of the Spirit Race. Arcane symbols glowed on his clothing as he launched his assault.

"Sir Paterson, be careful… Don't destroy her mystical items, or we'll lose all the treasures." Mr Wigram reminded.

On the other hand, Faith remained undeterred as she tapped the floor once, signaling her Spirit Warriors to engage in battle.

The spectral warriors surged forward, clashing with their opponents in a flurry of icy breaths and strikes. Furthermore, Faith enveloped herself in a pulsating wave of Spirit Energy, enhancing her own defenses.

The room became a battleground as spells and ferocious attacks from the werewolf started… It was then followed by several shattering sounds of the Rune Arts being dismantled by Faith's pulsating wave of energy…

Graahh!

The werewolf reaped a part of a couple of Spirit Warriors, but his claws and hands started getting frostbite! It appeared as if the real attacks of the Spirit Warriors would come after their death!

Manager Faith didn't stop at this as she moved with a grace that belied her blindness, evading the flying Rune Symbols that were trying to seal her body.

She could certainly tell that the Rune Arts were more dangerous.

Her cane then became an extension of her being, deflecting attacks and launching counterblows with surprising agility. Furthermore, as she was moving too quickly, she started moving like a real ghosts as continued using her movement technique.

Then, at this time, the werewolf form of Mr. Paterson unleashed devastating blows, his claws tearing through the air with incredible speed, and it didn't take that long before all the Spirit Warriors were killed.

Although Manager Faith's Spirit Warriors fought back fiercely, their icy energy wasn't enough to deal with an old Arcanist.

Nevertheless, they still served as a formidable defense against the savage werewolf.

Faith had bought enough time to release one of the seals in her body!

Just with a wave of her hand, another set of the Spirit Warriors appeared…

"This is a lot more annoying than I thought." Mr. Wigram muttered as he couldn't help but complain at their current situation.

If Faith wasn't holding the storage ring and wasn't a Half-Spirit, this battle would've ended already. However, Half-Spirits were difficult to overwhelm in terms of Spirit Strands. They could also see the weakness of Spells a lot easier than normal Arcanists.

Then, they also don't get affected by mind spells, so most of his Rune Arts weren't suited against her. He could only think of four Rune Arts that could be effective against Faith.

However, when those Runic Attacks were about to hit her, Spirit Warriors would suddenly appear and take the hit instead.

"Fine… Let's see how many Spirit Warriors you can summon!" Mr. Wigram said.

His Rune Arts proved to be a formidable challenge for the Spirit Warriors. Some intricate symbols were suddenly etched into the floor, ceiling, walls, and shelves of the hall.

These runes disrupted the Spirit Warriors' spectral forms, causing momentary instability.

This allowed Paterson to easily kill them with a few bites and kicks…

However, at this time, Manager Faith finally managed to remove all the seals that she temporarily put to herself in order not to cause trouble to the students in the Academy!
