Although Kaela said that, Vale did not run.

Instead, he dashed and stood firmly beside her and her two bodyguards…

Vale then looked at the Demon God, who seemed so sure that they were no match for him.

At this time, Vale's shadows still moved violently around him, feeding his Umbral Dominion. He knew that there was a limit to maintain this Spell, so he had to act quickly.

"Together!" Vale shouted.

At once, more bladed shadow and curse spells from the others targeted the Demon God.

As the others joined, the battlefield became filled with shadow curses, binding hands, and various divine spells that could normally obliterate Immortals. However, the Demon God was special.

The Demon God simply swatted aside their combined attacks.

His blue flames gushed outward to block the other Spells, burning through bindings and shattering the ground in the process.

Still, Vale and the others started stepping forward.

The Demon God enjoyed being in the defensive as if he was waiting for all of them to get drained or exhausted…

Nonetheless, Vale didn't care as every Spell he cast brought him closer to his target.

And then, a chance came.

In the chaos of Kaela's staff smashing into the Demon God's chest, and the war-god phantom moved, Vale slipped past!

He thrust his hand forward, making direct contact with the Demon God's skin.

This confused the Demon God, as he was ready to nullify or block whatever spell that was thrown at him.

However, he felt nothing at first.

Well, he had no idea that the moment Vale touched him, the System he had was triggered.

[ Mystical Being has been discovered. Would you like to start the extraction? ]

"Yes!"

Just like that, Vale felt the power of the Demon God being collected!

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +5000, Corrupted Divinity +1500, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Demon Essence +300, Divine Essence +200 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Energy +5000, Corrupted Divinity +1000, Corrupted Immortal Essence +100, Demon Essence +300, Divine Essence +200 ]

[ Extraction Successful. Item Obtained: Fragment of Demon God's Horn (Corrupted Relic) ]

[ Extraction Successful. Item Obtained: Netherflame Crystal (Divine-Grade Material) ]

[ Extraction Successful. Skill Fragment: Abyssal Inferno ]

[ Extraction Successful. Trait Absorbed: Eternal Physique ]

'I obtained some items… and even a Physique?'

Vale's entire body trembled as corrupted energy poured into his veins.

No, it wasn't his extraction, but the Demon God seemed to be trying to take advantage of their contact. He was trying to capture Vale as well!

However, there was no way he would allow that to happen.

His Umbral Dominion quaked, growing thicker and darker.

The shadows behind him solidified as he continued extracting the Demon God for more strength…

The Demon God staggered back…

He could even ignore more of the attacks coming from the Sky Immortals. However, for some reason, he couldn't last against the young man!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Several Spells went unto his body, but his eyes were still on Vale.

"You… what did you just do to me?"

Vale said nothing. No one could know.

Still, even without an answer, the Demon God had an idea as his expression twisted.

"A life-drain spell? Hmph… pitiful trick."

Still, Vale realized that the demon still acted cautiously… The Demon God had actually pulled back. He feared it.

Vale couldn't help but smile after seeing the small victory.

Actually, he tried to extract the Demon God with only his shadow control, but it was impossible. The Demon God's natural defense was simply too strong.

Because of that, he needed to do it the traditional way or the physical contact to activate the extraction.

Of course, Kaela and the others found this as an opportunity as they cast stronger Spells.

However, the Demon God didn't let them finish casting as he dashed toward Kaela and her bodyguards! He then pushed them aside with a sweep of his burning wings…

Thud! Thud!

He also wanted to attack Vale, but he was still unsure whether he could block that Life Drain Spell he used.

And then, as he was considering how to deal with Vale, whether he had to just burn him to ash or capture him alive, something unexpected happened.

A terrifying new presence arrived.

It was coming from an aura that neither Vale nor Kaela sensed, but the Demon God felt it even from afar.

He then looked behind him with a grave look on his face.

At this time, Vale and the others noticed his action and realized that something was off.

And they were right… In just a few moments, the suffocating pressure of the Demon God was suddenly pierced by another overwhelming aura.

From the distant sky, another figure descended. It was Kaela's father, one of the City Lords of the Realm, an Arcane Immortal whose power should be quite equal to a Demon God.

Still, his arrival made the entire battlefield more comfortable for the Shadow Immortals. Even the raging blue flames around the demon god narrowed..

The latter then froze, realization dawning.

"Tch… not now…" He muttered as his wings spread wide to flee.

Perhaps, if he wasn't drained by Vale's spell, and it was a one-on-one fight, the demon god might actually try to fight. However, the Life Drain seemed to be a bit too powerful as he now suspected Vale of using some sort of high-level Arcana to do that.

Whoosh~

In just a few moments, the demon god fled in the opposite direction…

At this time, Kaela's father, together with his two trusted aides, arrived.

As soon as he confirmed that Kaela was fine, the City Lord didn't waste words.

It was enough to confirm that she had survived a confrontation with the Demon God. It was already an incredible feat.

Still, realizing that Kaela's essence was greatly burdened after calling for Deity Possession a couple of times, he felt furious.

"Demon filth… You won't escape me."

With a single step, the City Lord and his subordinates vanished, chasing after the weakened demon god.

In the meantime, Vale finally found an opportunity to leave this Realm!
