Vale left the slums filled with corpses… There were still so survivors trying to run away but he didn't mind it as he allowed them to leave.
He was too uncomfortable in his current situation, so he couldn't be bothered by them.
However, he knows that he created so much ss, and it wouldn't be surprising if he left many of his traces behind.
If he were found out, it would cause a problem for him, and the Academy might be implicated. He must clean up the cri scene.
After getting enough distance, Vale willed his mind to trigger the Planar Spell, the Call of the Divine Lightning!
He only knows that the spell can be easily triggered by the mind and not through Vitality Force like Holy Arts…
As soon as his mind touched the complicated Spell Model in his body, he felt sothing disappearing from him. It was a subtle feeling, but he didn't miss it.
Then, it was followed by the sa sensation brought by targeted spells.
'So the Divine Lightning has to be within the Magic Zone? Then it must be a huge problem for those with a short-range zone.'
Vale mused as he stood more than a hundred ters away from the targeted area.
After choosing the area in his magic zone, the Spell Light in his body instantly turned dim. It ans that the spell was already triggered, and he has to wait until its cooldown is finished before he can cast it again.
Soon, the dark clouds in the night sky gathered, blocking the moonlight that was illuminating the city.
In a few seconds, a single bolt of lightning ca to strike the slums of lthorn City's southern district!
Boom!
A thundering roar shocked the citizens of lthorn City as they looked at the sky.
They expected a heavy rain or thunderstorm to follow this, but all of a sudden, the clouds started dissipating as if the heavens were just teasing them.
The Bishops from the five prominent churches at the lthorn City gravely looked at the sky as if they were facing an enemy.
"Is it a natural phenonon?" An old man wearing a white robe with golden trim on its edges spoke in his hoarse voice. He was silently praying in front of the Fortune Goddess's statue when the lightning struck and disturbed the solemnity of his prayer. He even felt that the blessing of the goddess had suddenly dissipated because of the disturbance.
It was the sa with others as they sensed that sothing was with that lightning strike.
Soon, they ordered their people to investigate the unusual phenonon within the city.
As soon as Vale left the southern district, a group of people who had co from different organizations arrived at the scene.
There were over a dozen of them. So ca with a partner, while a few ca alone.
A few police officers even ca over as they found several charred corpses around the area.
One of the most prominent figures among the people who had arrived was a couple of ladies wearing white trench coats and umbrellas, which they used like a cane.
These two ladies remained completely silent as they slowly walked to where the lightning struck.
So houses are still burning, and black smoke where everywhere.
"Mhmmm… The fragrant sll of burnt corpses. It's so nice…" A man suddenly spoke after silently arriving behind the two ladies. He also seed to have rushed here, seeing that his hair was still dripping wet.
He's wearing a red frock coat and trousers, which can be very painful to the eye, but thankfully, it is quite dark, so his clothes don't seem to attract too much attention.
The ladies just ignored him, but he didn't care and continued.
"Don't you think so too, Lady Teresa… Lady Clare?"
After being called out, one of them finally spoke.
The lady, who was called Clare, looked at the man as she reminded him. "This area is under our managent. The Order of the Illustrious Liquidators doesn't need to be involved."
"Whoa… I didn't think that the Untainted Sentinels would care about these slums. Gahaha!"
Instead of leaving, the man laughed it off, infuriating the ladies.
The other Arcanists from different Orders had also arrived, but they kept their silence as they continued their investigation.
Soon, they all concluded that the phenonon today wasn't natural. Sothing seed to have attracted the wrath of the heavens, but none of them could guess what it was.
"Find all the remaining mbers of the Snake Brotherhood. We need to know what they've been doing over the past few days. This bunch of ignorant people probably conducted a forbidden ritual…" Lady Teresa of the Untainted Sentinels said to the police officers, which was agreed on by the others.
In the anti, Vale didn't know that this heavenly lightning alerted all the Arcane Arts Practitioners of the lthorn City and its surrounding land.
He simply returned to the hotel room he rented after ensuring he didn't leave any traces of him.

On the balcony on the fourth floor of the Academy, Headmaster Jean was with Professor Lucius overlooking the ritual that was going on at the western garden of the Academy.
The ritual seems to be attracting the spirits surrounding the Academy grounds, but none of them cares about it. This yearly ritual reduces the number of evil spirits in this land and helps them lessen the number of evil spirit possession in the corpses or practitioners who had started becoming vulnerable.
"Headmaster, sothing must be wrong with Vale Chambers... I already had so suspicions about him when he killed the first Evil Creature before. He can destroy the soul or perhaps the spirit of Evil Creatures! I'm sure he's the culprit why I can't summon the creature's spirit. Then, I tested him with the second Evil Creature, and the sa thing happened. I can't be wrong." Professor Lucius said as he looked at the Headmaster seriously.
"Hmm… So you're telling
he has a Tier 3 Dark Spell?" Headmaster Jean asked as he shifted his attention to the Professor.
"Yes! There can't be any other way, as I've also checked his Mystical Artifact. The Dark Spirit also doesn't have this kind of ability. We have to get this Spell Model from him!"
