DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 83 Monster
Lucius is already not feeling good.
There has to be a caged Messenger in the Serenity Hall. However, it died because of him.
He has to replace this Creature as quickly as possible… If he didn't do that, he would have to pay a huge amount of money which he didn't want to do. After all, his salary as a Professor isn't that much, to begin with.
The only reason he's staying here is that he can use top-class Facilities and plenty of resources for his research and all of that for free as long as he's working as a Professor.
In the meantime, while Lucius' heart was bleeding, Vale looked at the message that he got after touching the corpse of the Creature.
[ Monster corpse has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]
'Monster?' Vale repeated in his mind.
'No wonder…'
This is the first time he had seen such a notification from the system. However, he was getting a 'human corpse' in his notification during his extraction so he already thought that there is a possibility that he can extract other corpses.
In the end, his suspicion was right!
Without any more hesitation, he agreed to the system and extracted the 'monster'.
[ Extraction successful. Energy +40 Agility +1.25 Vitality +1.05 ]
Vale's eyes lit up after seeing the notification.
He received 2 attributes from the extraction! The energy points that he got were even worth 5 or 6 corpses of Arcane Arts Practitioners!
This was incredible!
"Amazing…" Vale couldn't help but sigh in admiration after seeing the bountiful harvest.
"You found this amazing?" Professor Lucius repeated what he heard as he looked at Vale with a frown.
The latter jolted at this as he realized that someone was beside him and looking at his actions. He was too focused on extracting the corpse that he failed to notice the Professor's presence.
"Ahem… It's my first time seeing a monster or an evil creature's corpse this close so I can't help but appreciate it."
"Hmph… Just leave it there. Don't think of getting spoils from it. It's the Academy's property. Our class is dismissed. I will provide your team with the Contribution Point so don't worry about it. Leave this place now as I'll clean up this mess." Lucius said as he also signaled for those who are injured to visit the infirmary.
He's not in a good mood and everyone noticed it.
"Thank you, Professor."
Everyone decided to leave including Vale… He didn't want to offend the Professor even more.
Outside the Serenity Hall, his classmates couldn't help but talk about the battle and how Vale ended the life of that Creature.
"Vale, you're incredible… Are you sure you're not using a Mystical Item to increase the power of your Dark Spell? It feels like you're already graduating student!" Felicia said in admiration.contemporary romance
"That's an exaggeration. However, our classmate is indeed on a different level." Carmen Ames, one of the female students in Leonore's group, said while looking at Vale with interest.
"Don't worry, I will spread this news to everyone!" Jody chimed in…
'I'm not interested in that…' Vale replied in his mind.
"Good… Let's see how arrogant Wilfred can be after hearing this. Have you submitted your article already?" Carmen asked.
"I'll be submitting it in an hour. I still have to write about his achievement as the highest Spirit Strand test scorer." Jody replied.
Vale didn't want to be famous but he can't really stop Jody from writing an article about what happened in the Academy.
In the first place, rumors about it will still spread.
He can only persuade her not to exaggerate what had happened and acknowledge the other's efforts as well.
After saying this to her, Jody gave him a thumbs up.
Vale then went to the infirmary like the others since he was still hit by that beam of light a while ago. Although he was not harmed by that attack thanks to his Spell Dispersion's effect, he still has to have someone check on him or another rumor will start.
***
Inside the Serenity Hall, Professor Lucius kneeled in front of the dead Messenger and observed its injuries closely…
'The Flesh Bane and Ailments can only be sensed in the upper body… Furthermore, it has signs of healing as well…' Lucius muttered after noticing the weird situation of the Creature's body.
After some time, he also finished inspecting its lower body.
'This is weird… The injuries on the lower body don't have signs of healing. Did it really get this weak after being caged for some time?' Lucius shook his head as he can't believe that its regeneration ability would be compromised just by not being fed sufficiently.
He then took out three candlesticks from his coat's inner pocket. He placed them beside the corpse and lit them up using a match…
Lucius then cut his index finger with his pocket knife and dropped blood on the Creature's body. After doing this, he chanted in Oardic.
"Glorius Gates of the Spirit World. Hallowed maker of the Soul Society. The Nameless Guardian of the Harbingers. I offer my blood to open the gates… I wish to call the spirit of the Fallen Messenger…"
Lucius then waited for a while but after three minutes without a response, he couldn't help but frown… This is the first time he failed to summon someone's spirit. Furthermore, the creature just died a few minutes ago.
He had no problems summoning a spirit even if their body died two or three days already so it was baffling for him.
After a few moments, he decided to try it once more but after waiting for another five minutes, he still failed.
The candle wax on the floor is already getting thicker so Lucius decided to change them… He also tried dropping more blood to see whether it would make some changes.
Unfortunately, none of his changes worked. The spirit of the Creature seems to have disappeared!
'What's going on? Why is the Nameless Guardian not replying?'
Lucius shook his head as he can't imagine that something would happen to the Spirit World.
He can only guess that something must've happened to the Creature's spirit…
