nInstead of killing this Half-Spirit, Vale wanted to use his knowledge to help him in his journey. After all, this person might know how to deal with the Time Manipulators or Demonic Saints of the Abyss Realm.

n“You!” Magnus’ eyes widened as he realized what kind of Spell was being used on him.

nHe had also learned a few Psychic Arts and could say that this Arcane Art was the most evil among the 12 Arcane Paths.

nThis was an Arcane Path that flagrantly disregarded moral virtue, capable of subjugating the will of its targets! It exuded an unmistakable malevolence.

nOf course, Magnus also had a way to protect his mind on this occasion. However, his opponent seemed to have sucked his energy making him unable to cast the Mind Protection spell that he needed!

nHe wasn’t sure how his opponent did it, but the energy he had from all of the cores was drained in an instant!

n‘If I know he can drain someone’s energy without an Artifact, I can–‘

nMagnus’ ruminations were abruptly cut short as Vale’s Slave Mark Spell took hold of his consciousness.

n“Is it done?”

nAs soon as Magnus calmed down and his eyes seemed to turn blank, Vale felt that the Slave Mark Spell had done its job.

nHowever, he also realized that the Slave Mark didn’t actually last for long. It could only last a month, even with his Advanced Realm Mastery. He could only learn this after the Spell sent feedback to him through the Spell Model.

n‘I guess that’s already enough…’ Vale mused, feeling that 30 days was more than enough to get everything he needed from this person.

nThe duration didn’t seem that bad since, if he needed more Time; he only had to cast this Spell once a month to make up for it.

nFurthermore, he could do this repeatedly to up to 30 targets! 𝒆𝙖.𝙘𝒎

nIn short, he doesn’t have to spend 7,168 Energy Points to advance his Slave Mark Spell into the Perfect Realm to make this old Half-Spirit loyal to him Forever.

n“Tell me your name… I mean, tell me something about you.” Vale said as he faced the old Half-Spirit.

n“I’ve used many names for hundreds of years, Master. I’ve been using the name Magnus for the past 30 years. You might have noticed already, but I’m a Half-Human and Half-Spirit. I have no recollection of my origin, so I can’t tell you how I came here. I can practice all Arcane Arts, but I focus mainly on Alchemy Arts and Beast Arts…”

nMagnus answered, which made Vale happy. Magnus’ answer was quite informative and made it a lot faster for him since he no longer had to ask continuously.

n“Alchemy and Beast Arts, huh… This is getting interesting.” Vale muttered as an idea came to his mind.

n“Tell me all the Spells you have!”

n“Yes, Master. I will start with Dark Arts… I have recorded Spectral Hands, Blind Eye’s Curse…”

nMagnus continued listing all the Spells he had recorded, and Vale found 8 of them very enticing.

nTwo of them were Holy Arts Spells. They were Holy Smite and the Sacred Blessing Spells.

nThese two Spells would perfect his disguise as Clovis if he had decided to do so. It was a pity that Magnus hadn’t learned any Healing Spell since the Churches were extremely strict about it, and he couldn’t even glance at its Spell Model.

nNevertheless, these two Spells were extremely useful to him.

nThen, the other six spells that caught Vale’s interest were Alchemy Art’s Cursed Flame, Rune Art’s Rune Creation, and Protection Rune.

nThe other three were Mystic Art’s Reaper Scythe, and Beast Arts’ Feral Fury and Bear’s Strength.

nThe Cursed Flame’s power was unquestionable. Magnus was simply too unlucky that he had to face Vale in a battle where he also couldn’t use his beloved Beasts outside the castle.

nAs for the Rune Arts, Vale wanted to learn how to create runes since creating Runic Weapons seemed more reliable than making Talisman.

n“This Reaper Scythe is also amazing… Its only downside is that it can’t be used unless the target has a very low vitality than the caster.” Vale smiled after learning this from Magnus.

nAfter all, if there was one thing he was confident in, it was certainly his attributes that were higher than even the First-Class and Master-Class Arcanists!

nAs for the reason he was interested in the two Beast Arts, it was obviously because he was planning to fuse them with his Gorrila Punch or other Spells that require some physical prowess.

nHe believed that these two Spells would bring him a decent Fusion Spell that would showcase his incredibly high Power Strands at the moment.

nSoon, Vale took action and Extracted all these spells from Magnus.

nVale also ensured that Magnus still possessed the Spells he needed to work as an Alchemist or a Magic Craftsman.

nHe made sure not to take too much of his attributes and energy.

nAfter all, he was planning to make this person work for him.

nNo matter what, Magnus had lived for centuries, and his creations should be incredible.

n“Right… Do you know anything about the Time Manipulators and Demonic Saints?” Vale asked while waiting for Pearl and the others.

nSince Magnus was no longer controlling the Formation Circles, Vale could now use his Magic Zone to its limit and tell that Lisa and Chad were already being rescued.

n“Time Manipulators are from a different realm. However, they have passed down their techniques to Mystic Arts Practitioners who had obtained a certain Arcana’s blessing. I’m unaware of which Arcana it is, but I heard that they needed the Divinity of Immortals to use it… Alas, I have never crossed paths with them and have only gleaned these rumors from an entity in another realm…”

nVale’s eyes lit up as his words aligned with the information he heard from Constance.

nHowever, the revelation that Mystic Arts Practitioners could potentially transition into Time Manipulators through the influence of a specific Arcana caught him off guard.
