Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

840 Cats

The platform where they appeared was certainly the same place where the Celestial Beings who had been imprisoned would also appear if they ever visited them.

Needless to say, anyone who had appeared on this same spot could be considered as their enemy from their perspective.

Now, Vale regretted not bringing the Asura and the Angels as they might have been able to convince them. freewёbnoνel.com

As Vale ordered Jin to retreat through telepathy, they realized that it was actually not possible.

'It's being disrupted. We have to eliminate this disruption before we can go outside.' Jin reported, shocking Vale for a moment.

It appears that these Beastfolk had obtained some method or tricks in order to possess precious materials to create various artifacts while still imprisoned.

They have truly thrived and they even made preparations in case they were visited by Celestials once again!

The tension in the Tower could be felt as the lizardfolk had never thought that they would really be visited by Celestials after hundreds of years!

Their ancestors were right!

They didn't believe that there was a world outside this land… They were born and grew up in this place. They heard from their elders that the first Beastfolks before them mentioned that this place was simply a small world. There was still a huge world outside and the platform they're guarding was a gateway to that outside world!

However, because they had never seen the outside, they just ignored these words, thinking that it was just a dream of the Ancestors who wanted to find new territories to claim. They didn't take their duty as guards of this platform seriously and just spent most of their days lazying around.

Anyway, as they saw the unusual beings, they knew that they were facing the aliens they heard before. The lizardfolk warriors tensed their muscles, their scales glinting in the dim light as they prepared to defend their territory against the perceived threat posed by the newcomers.

As Vale spoke up, seeking to defuse the escalating confrontation with a gesture of peace, his efforts were met with a chorus of growls and hiss from the lizardfolk warriors, their distrust evident in every tense movement and clenched jaw.

They couldn't even understand what he was talking about!

Communication seemed impossible at this moment.

Vale wryly smiled, but he decided to spread his Divinity to intimidate them a bit to back them off. After all, they somehow started getting closer to them, which he didn't like. After all, he might hurt them and cause an even more complicated situation…

'Should I just control them all forcefully?' Vale thought for a moment. However, he could somehow tell that his mind-controlling spells wouldn't work.

It was simply because of how his Spell Models were designed.

It doesn't allow him to control beasts or animals. These creatures seemed to be part of them.

Anyway, as the warriors backed off, Vale started observing the other creatures.

Amidst the sea of reptilian faces, Vale could see other humanoid beasts gathering around them curiously.

He couldn't sense hostility from any of them and could only feel their curiousity and fear of the unknown… This was also the reason why he didn't feel comfortable just forcefully controlling them.

After all, the Angels and Asura attacked them with hostility in their eyes, unlike these humanoid beasts.

'There are also many rabbitman, huh…' Vale commented.

He saw various Rabbit-Humans darted to and fro, their ears twitching with nervous energy as they eyed Vale and his companions with a wary gaze, their paws clutching makeshift weapons crafted from bone and sinew. It was an interesting sight.

The Lion-Humans stood like everything was under their control, but they were certainly nervous as well. They seemed to be capable of sensing their strength.

As a matter of fact, their golden eyes fixed on Vale and not on any other among his group.

Aside from them, there were also the Bear-Humans, who were quite large and imposing… However, they seemed lazy as there were still fish skewers in their hands!

'Where did they even get that? Do they also have some sort of currency here? This is really like a town instead of a prison…' Vale thought.

'Wait… Perhaps the previous Celestials had given them resources to multiply? Are they some sort of food stocks for them?' Vale couldn't help but think of such a terrifying idea. He couldn't help but shake his head to erase these thoughts.

As the tension in the Prison Tower reached a critical juncture, with the lizardfolk warriors about to strike at Vale and his companions, a voice rang out with commanding authority, halting the impending clash…

"Stop! Do not fight them!" the voice commanded… The lizardfolk warriors hesitated, their spears lowering slightly as the source of the voice became apparent.

The crowd of Beastfolks reluctantly parted, revealing a group of humanoid cats whose sleek and graceful forms exuded an air of quiet strength and dignity.

They seemed to be the leaders of this community!

This made Chad, who really liked cats, gasp… He didn't expect that large cats would look really good!

'I hope Vale could give me one if he takes them… Ugh… No… What's with these thoughts?! I can't be thinking that.' Chad shook his head as he also felt that that was too excessive.

Among them, the leader of the white cat group, a female feline with eyes as sharp as emeralds and fur as pure as snow, stepped forward…

Fixing her gaze on Vale, the white cat leader inclined her head in a gesture of respect before turning her attention to Aurion, her eyes assessing and keen.

It seemed that she recognized who were most likely Celestial Beings among the group.

"I am Felicia, leader of the White Cat Clan," she announced, her voice melodic yet firm…

"We have been waiting for your arrival, our Savior… You must be here to find the three talents left by the Paragons… You are in the right place…"
