Vale soon realized that the Necromancer's Dark Energy had dwindled significantly.
It was because his Divine Sense could now pass through his defenses! It gave him feedback that stunned him a bit.
Dark Arts Practitioner with 10 filled Spell Lights.
The man had fewer Spells than he thought!
'It feels as if he had at least 13 or 15 Spell Lights…' Vale commented in his mind. 'I guess I have to end this now…'
Summoning all of his remaining strength, he unleashed a flurry of attacks, striking with precision and speed on the Death Knight's body.
The Death Knight, caught off guard by Vale's renewed vigor, faltered for a split second.
It was the opening Vale needed.
With one final, decisive strike, Vale's Stormbringer flashed with a lightning bolt before it found its mark, decapitating the Undead.
Vale only unleashed a fraction of the Stormbringer's power, but it was extremely effective against the Undead!
Bam!
The Death Knight crumbled to the ground, its dark energy dissipating into the air. The battle was won, but the fight against the Necromancer was far from over.
Vale stood, panting and with several beads of sweat on his body. However, he wasn't that tired.
He cast a determined gaze towards the Necromancer, his eyes filled with a burning resolve.
"Impossible…"
The Necromancer clenched his fist tightly as he realized that even after sending the Death Knight plenty of Dark Energy, it wasn't enough to defeat the student!
At this time, he realized that Vale was hiding a deep secret. Then, an idea came into his mind.
"You… You're not a student! You must be a trained spy sent by the Association... I can't be wrong! Killing you here would be my greatest contribution to the Faction."
The Necromancer shouted some rubbish words, but Vale ignored him once again as he shifted his attention to the remaining Undead.
With a stomp, he charged to eliminate them!
Boom!
As Vale swiftly dispatched the remaining Undead, including those who had lost control, he made a conscious decision not to extract their memory fragments.
After all, he would be vulnerable for a brief moment if he accepted the Memory Fragments of the Undead. He had no choice but to focus solely on eliminating the threat they posed.
The Necromancer, witnessing the destruction of his forces, felt a wave of shock wash over him. He had underestimated Vale's strength and resourcefulness.
'That sword can attack my shadow and spark with Lightning from time to time… It must be a Royal Rank item. A student like him can't possess that sword unless a huge organization is backing him. Tsk… Celina targeted a spy this time…'
Thud!
As the last Undead crumbled, Vale prepared himself for the final confrontation.
The surrounding air turned heavy as the Dark Energy around the airship thickened.
The Necromancer summoned all his power, pushing his Bone Armor to its limits and unleashing a barrage of Dark Spells.
However, he realized that Vale's Spell Disrupting Technique was activated once again! For some reason, all the Dark Spells aimed at Vale were destroyed!
This includes his attempt to secretly summon a Skeletal Mage!
It was such a blunder since he lost his attempt, and he had to wait for another 3 minutes to summon the Skeletal Mage!
'This is bad…' The Necromancer gritted his teeth as he faced Vale's attack.
Vale attacked him with his sword, but luckily, the Bone Armor was strong enough that it wasn't disrupted instantly.
"Hmm?" Vale raised his brow as he realized that his Spell Dispersion could not entirely dispel the Bone Armor. It seemed that he had to cast a focused Spell Dispersion to remove it.
The Necromancer then used a part of the Bone Armor as his staff to deal with Vale's onslaught temporarily.
With each clash of their weapons, Vale pressed forward, his movements fluid and precise. He skillfully evaded the Necromancer's attacks, countering with calculated strikes of his own.
The Necromancer, growing desperate, could sense his control slipping away.
Nevertheless, he wasn't too afraid of Vale's lightning sword or capability to cut his shadow, so he wasn't panicking. He was even relieved that Vale was fighting in close combat as he felt he could corrupt Vale slowly while staying within his 3-meter range.
Unbeknownst to the Necromancer, Vale had a secret weapon up his sleeve.
The moment Vale got closer, he immediately found an opportunity to touch him and activated his Divine Extraction System.
The moment his hand made contact with the Necromancer's body, a surge of energy coursed through his veins.
The Necromancer felt his strength wane as if his very soul was being drained away.
"W-what are you doing?!"
The realization struck the Necromancer like a bolt of lightning.
He had fallen into Vale's trap, unaware of the true extent of his opponent's abilities. Panic and fear flashed across his face as he struggled to comprehend what was happening.
"Soul Drain?! Impossible…" Even for an old Necromancer like him, Soul Drain required certain conditions, and one of them was being in complete focus without any distraction. He even had to prepare some ritual items to maintain his concentration for a prolonged period just to cast the Soul Drain Spell!
However, it seemed that Vale could do it almost instantly!
Of course, Vale liked the idea that the man thought that he was using a Soul Drain Spell instead of his Extraction System.
The Divine Extraction System worked its magic, siphoning the Necromancer's essence, weakening him further with each passing moment. The once powerful sorcerer was reduced to a mere shell of his former self, his dark powers fading away.
"You thought you could seal my Soul, look at you now…" Vale spoke with a voice filled with quiet resolve as he checked the notifications he got.
