Vale immediately knew that something had changed in his body. He could feel the power emanating throughout his whole being, so he swiftly checked his attribute panel to see the changes.

'What? Shadow Celestial?' Vale's eyes widened as he saw his current race! He was no longer a Half-Celestial but a Shadow Celestial!

He only thought that his attributes would surpass their limits, but he had never thought that his race would change as well.

However, after thinking about it, it certainly made sense since the limit of the Half-Celestial was probably the 150 Attribute Points. So, he had to change his race if he really wanted to go beyond.

'It even improved by 50 more points. How incredible' Vale thought as he couldn't help but celebrate with this milestone.

At this time, the onlookers were still observing him, and it was at this time that he realized the commotion he had created during the transformation. He would have to continue exploring his new power as a Shadow Celestial later.

Anyway, although his appearance didn't change much, aside from getting a bit more toned because of the Shadow Essence, his senses had actually improved a lot, and his Magic Zone expanded by more than twice its size.

1.2 kilometers!

'This is incredible. However, expanding it by that much causes a headache.' Vale thought as he suppressed his Magic Zone to only 250 meters.

This way, he wouldn't suffer from information overload, and he would also have a decent understanding of the surroundings.

Vale then ignored the onlookers as he continued adjusting his senses. After he adapted to his newfound strength, Vale turned his attention back to the solemn task at hand.

After taking a deep breath, he resumed the Extraction of the corpses. Although he already used his Shadow Extraction to them, they could still be extracted with his Divine Extraction System!

He immediately activated his Darkness Manipulation after its cooldown was over and soon, his Extractions started.

[ Human corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

"Yes"

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Intelligence +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Intelligence +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Strength +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Intelligence +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Agility +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Vitality +0.10 ]

[ Extraction successful. Energy +10 Vitality +0.10 ]

After doing this, he confirmed that his Vitality had increased!

'I'm not stuck to the 200 Attribute Points at all!' Vale couldn't help but smile as he continued with his extractions. This time, he focused on the corpses of the Arcanists from the two forces.

Thanks to this, he obtained numerous Incomplete Spell Lights, Spell Models, Energy Points, and Attributes. Furthermore, some of them even provided something he had never extracted before.

Arcane Sigils!

He had learned more about these strange sigils from Magnus, who had told him that they were engraved on the bodies of the Royal Knights, Druids, or Artificial Humans.

They could also be considered as tattoo marks that enhanced the power of the Arcanists, by giving them access to special Spells, Skills, or Abilities.

They were rare and valuable, and there were a few methods to obtain them, one of them being through killing, followed by a ritual to transfer the Aracane Sigil to their bodies.

After some hesitations, Vale decided to accept these sigils.

Of course, he had expected to see some tattoo marks on his body, but he was surprised by what hadhappened.

All the Arcane Sigils that he extracted gathered at the back of his right palm, forming a black dot. He didn't have any tattoo marks on his body, but he had a black dot instead.

'Is this related to me being a Shadow Celestial?' Vale mused.

He was amazed by this discovery, and he felt that he had gained a new advantage. He had no idea how to use these Arcane Sigils yet but it wouldn't take long before he could master it.

After all, he also started accepting the Memory Fragments he had extracted!

Time quickly passed, and Vale completed his Extractions.

At this time, Vale turned to the Marquis, who had been observing him from the beginning, and gave a solemn nod, confirming that he was done looking at the corpses.

"Are you going to leave now, Sir Vale?" Marquis Morgan asked, using telepathy.

"Thank you, Marquis Morgan. You have been a great ally, and I appreciate your cooperation. I hope we can work together again in the future." Vale said.

With a sense of closure settling upon the grim battleground, he bid farewell to the Marquis and departed silently.

Soon, Vale arrived at his Airship, and saw Lisa and the others waiting for him.

They greeted him with joy and excitement, and they were curious about his new aura. After all, aside from witnessing Vale's strange actions in front of the corpses just now, they could also feel that Vale had become a lot stronger.

"Welcome back, Master Vale. You look different." Magnus asked. As an Alchemist, he had much better inspection skills. He could immediately tell that Vale hadn't just changed his aura. There was also a subtle change in his physique.

"Yes Something happened. I'll explain it later. For now, I feel quite tired, so I want to rest." Vale replied.

"Ahem Are we not going to trade the Dragon Scales and Blood now?" Lisa suddenly asked.

Apparently, before Vale moved ahead and destroyed the city's barrier, he had already taken out a few of his Dragon Scales and Blood!

He knew very well that he wouldn't have the time to do it after his mission, so he had prepared for it beforehand

"Mhmm Let's do it in a week or so I don't want them to think that I can acquire Dragon Scales so easily." Vale replied after some thought.
