Chapter 995: New Spell Model
For now, Vale decided to continue extracting the other materials as he planned the Black Heart to be extracted last.
Now, he drew out the Bright Corpse Flower. It was a peculiar, luminescent plant with white petals stained faintly red at the edges.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Go."
[ Extraction Successful. Curse Essence +300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Spirit Oil x1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Energy +90 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +0.5 ]
"Alright… This is not worth the price…" Vale muttered.
It was sold for 100 Arcane Crystals only. It was cheap. However, the amount of Divinity he got was only 0.5 Points.
Still, the Curse Essence was new to him… He wasn't sure about the difference between the Cursed Energy and Curse Essence, but he already had some guesses.
For now, he was curious about the Spirit Oil and checked it out…
Soon, the Spirit Oil floated in front of him, and Vale sniffed it cautiously.
"Hmm… It's potent…" He guessed that it was an alchemy material from how his Spirit Vision noticed how it could be used to infuse various medicines or potions…
This was a productive session.
Vale glanced at the rest of the items. There were several dozen more, so he had to just continue with his extraction and inspect them later on.
'I also need to prepare for the auction.'
Vale then continued as he took out a single item—the Demonic Soul Pearl—and hovered his hand over it.
According to the merchant, it came from a Demon General in the Demon Realm. Vale bought it for 38 Divine Crystals after some negotiation, and he was hoping to get its worth.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Yes…" Vale answered.
[ Extraction Successful. Malevolent Essence +800 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Astral Essence +300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Curse Essence +500 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy +900 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +8,000 ]
"Ohh… This is a lot of essence." Vale's eyes lit up after seeing the result.
The Astral Essence was something he was only able to obtain in the Celestial Prison Realm. There was no other place where he could get it… up until now…
According to the Angel that they recruited in that Realm, the astral essence was distilled from the ether of the Celestial Realm and was said to grant knowledge or insight to those who consumed it. Its properties make it an invaluable tool for those seeking enlightenment.
They looked like normal Arcane Recovery Potions, but they were very special.
"For 38 Divine Crystals, huh… I guess it's fine." Vale mused as he believed that he didn't lose in this transaction.
"Ahh… Wait… That's eight thousand Divinity Points! Why is it so big?!" Vale was shocked as he didn't expect this at all.
Suddenly, Vale realized something.
The Pearl was called Demonic Soul…
'Maybe… There was really a soul in it?!' Vale couldn't help but entertain this idea. It made sense after all.
However, because of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Perhaps, he might be able to find more Demonic Soul Pearls!
'If no one knows their value… Then maybe I can take advantage of it." He mused.
Well, even if they knew that there was a soul inside it, they probably had no other use for it aside for crafting or maybe alchemy…
Furthermore, it could also be problematic due to the Curse it had.
"I should look into this later…" He muttered to himself.
Vale continued extracting the rest of the items he had purchased.
There were oddities among them—an organ that yielded Frost Essence, a shattered ring that released Soul Fragments, and even an empty vial that, when extracted, gave him a trace of Residual Binding Ink used for spirit contracts. It was something he had never done before, but he experienced it.
After all, he was still able to contract a Dark Spirit without the use of such binding inks.
Anyway, each extraction gave him more information about the nature of rare materials and how little most people truly understood their depths.
But finally, his gaze settled on the item he'd been saving.
It pulsed faintly within its case…
It looked corrupted, yet refined, yet unstable… It was such an interesting item…
The merchant had claimed it belonged to a Corrupted Celestial.
"Let's find out what you really are…" Vale muttered as he reached toward it.
[ Energy Source has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]
"Begin extraction."
[ Extraction Successful. Divinity +1,500 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Corrupted Divinity +300 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Vitality +2.5 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Energy +700 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Cursed Essence +200 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Malevolent Will Fragment x1 ]
[ Extraction Successful. Complete Heart Implosion Spell Model ]
Interestingly, the Heart Implosion Spell Model was not Celestial Arts but Dark Arts. Because of that, he still had several Evolved Spell Lights he could use for more powerful Spells.
"A spell model, huh… That's quite unexpected." He mused.
After all, he wasn't extracting a whole corpse. It's just the heart itself.
'I guess it's already amazing to have something like this to be extracted.'
Anyway, Vale immediately sat in a meditation pose as he looked through the Spell Model that he had just obtained…
Well, with his Ascension, his knowledge about the Spell Models had completely evolved, and even without using the Spells, he could already tell what it could do.
Apparently, it was a high-tier destruction spell that uses curse and blood-related Spells.
From the way it works, it compresses his Dark Energy to the target's heart, who had already been cursed…
It could then detonate it in a sphere of implosive force that shreds both flesh and soul.
"This… is quite difficult…"
The Spell was definitely strong… However, it was not easy to curse Immortals. It means that he could only target Half-Immortals or Arcane Practitioners.
However, there was no need for such a complicated killing method to use on them…
"I guess I can only use this if I find a strong Curse Spell, huh?" Vale mused as he decided not to scrap the Spell just yet.
