Chapter 281: New

Vale looked at his attributes panel for quite some time. He was smiling in satisfaction as he felt more and more confident that he would be able to roam around this world and not be bound by any faction or organization once he retrieved his shadow.

He got two new Spell Models, which would be a big help for him. They were the Arcane Armor and Soul Bind.

He really liked this Soul Bind since he no longer needed to record the Cursed Contract Bestowal that he was planning to obtain. It saved him 3 Contribution Points!

After some rest, Vale decided not to kill these people as he felt that it would be more interesting to see them stronger once again.

He would then try to extract them if he still found them doing some shady business.

"Now let's see all the Mystical Items you have with you" Vale muttered as he decided to take all their wealth.

In any case, these people seem to be part of a syndicate or criminals, so he didn't feel bad about his actions.

He collected a total of 1,900 zen in cash and 540 noll in coins. As for the Mystical Items, he got quite a lot of them.

They were 12 Left-Hand Gloves that had an emblem of a goat's head surrounded by a thorny vine with flowers. Then there were also three canes that had blue and green energy in them after looking in his Phantasm State.

He wasn't sure what kind of abilities they had, but it must be Mystic Arts. Vale would consider selling them later. It feels that these items were customized for a specific organization so using them might bring more trouble. Unfortunately, Yvaine can only fit the gloves on the Treasure Box.

As for the cane, they could not fit inside, so Vale couldn't bring them.

Ultimately, he decided to destroy the canes so these people won't be able to use them after they recovered their strength.

After doing this, Vale finally shifted his attention to the stacked crates within the warehouse.

'I wonder what's inside these things' Vale muttered with curiosity.

Since the content of these things can't be penetrated by his Phantasm State's senses, he couldn't help but be curious about them. Furthermore, they are being guarded by 12 strong Mystic Arts Practitioners.

If any normal practitioner had entered this place, they would surely die from the combination attacks of these Arcanists.

They might even kill other infiltrators just by using the Trap Formation Circles surrounding the basement.

They were simply unfortunate to be targeted by an exceptional Practitioner like him.

This means that these crates were most likely illegal but very important.

Crack!

Vale forcefully opened one of the crates. He didn't use any Spell to open it since, with his current strength, even a metal door would not stop him.

"Hmm? What's this?" Vale muttered as he looked at the contents of the crate.

There were small purple rocks that had some white powder poured on them.

Vale picked one of them as he was thinking of removing the white powder to see if it was a shiny purple crystal or amethyst rock instead.

However, as soon as he picked it up, he was stunned because the System had actually reacted!

He just heard the familiar notification sound and didn't even see the message yet, but he already knew it must be something 'Extractable'!

[ Immortal Shard has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

'Hmm? Immortal Shard? Not an Immortal Fragment?' Vale silently thought after reading the message. This was the first time he had seen such a notification from the System.

He knows that the Immortal Fragments were Arcana Relics, according to Headmaster Jean.

However, he had no idea about the Immortal Shards.

Nevertheless, Vale was trembling in excitement. A single crate probably contained about a thousand of these purple rocks or shards!

Then, there were dozens of these crates inside the warehouse!

He really struck it rich this time!

Without any more hesitation, he consented the System to start the Extractions.

Crash~

As soon as the Extraction was done, the purple crystal, or the Immortal Shard, shattered and turned into dust.

This reaction from the Extraction was undoubtedly different from the Immortal Fragments.

The Immortal Fragments wouldn't be destroyed in the Extraction and would even "heal" and accumulate Divinity once again after a certain period had passed.

Furthermore, the Immortal Fragments gives at least 5 Divinity Points. However, the Immortal Shard had only provided less than 3% of that.

Of course, even with this small amount, Vale was still smiling for ear to ear.

After all, there are thousands of these shards in front of him!

Vale calmed his breath as he first looked outside.

He wanted to ensure that he wouldn't be interrupted by his Extraction Spree. After confirming that there were no changes outside and that the workers had only changed because of their shifting schedule, Vale returned to the basement and locked the doors.

"Yvaine I'll be busy, please guard the door."

Vale said as he would probably be too engrossed with his extractions once he started. He needed Yvaine to observe the surroundings for him.

"Mhmm I will take their energies then." Yvaine answered, referring to the Mystic Arts Practitioners.

"Will you kill them?" Vale asked.

"I can." The Dark Spirit answered with a nonchalant voice. Needless to say, she doesn't value other people's lives, which was quite understandable since she wasn't human in the first place.

"Ahem If you don't mind, try not to kill them since they might become a source of energy again."

"I will try."

Vale was already satisfied with this answer as he instructed her to deal with any intruders if she could but retreat to him if she couldn't.

Then, he returned to the opened crate to start his Extraction.

[ Immortal Shard has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

"Yes!"
