Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

880  Denise's Dissection n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Constance continued explaining her plans to Vale, and the latter certainly found this interesting. After all, Constance wasn't creating this Arcane Tower just for fun. It was to help her grow.

Vale nodded as he noticed the golems working tirelessly. He wasn't sure if it was Denise who made them or not. Then, he glanced at the various materials being transported by these golems.

"And how do you handle the logistics?" He asked curiously.

Constance's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I have a team of skilled arcanists and engineers who help with the planning and execution. The golems and Elemental Creatures are invaluable—they handle the heavy lifting and intricate tasks… Ahem… I summoned all of them." Constance said proudly.

She paused for a moment and looked at Vale's shocked expression before continuing.

"The airships and vehicles you see are actually modified vehicles by Sir Magnus to get materials from the Shadow Consortium and Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent."

Vale's eyes widened as he also recalled these two organizations that had previously visited his castle.

He didn't expect that they had already grown to a level where they could help them supply materials for an Arcane Tower.

Constance then paused as she explained that the main materials to build the Arcane Tower's main array would actually come from somewhere else.

Apparently, she still had to get the kings of Ruri and Milton Kingdoms to assist her in acquiring those items.

Vale smiled as he would certainly need all this information once he decided to build his own Arcane Tower for some reason.

Meanwhile, while Vale and Constance were catching up, Denise stood in her laboratory, gazing at the four unconscious Time Manipulators that Vale had brought to her.

Wasa, Liora, Cyper, and Elysia lay on separate tables, their chests rising and falling in a steady rhythm. They weren't dead just yet and were simply asleep, according to Vale.

Denise felt a mix of curiosity and uncertainty as she pondered what to do with them.

'Does he want me to experiment on them? There's no way he just wants me to watch them here, right?' she mused.

Denise was known for her expertise in creating golems, and she wondered if Vale intended for her to transform these Time Manipulators into something more.

'It shouldn't be a problem if I start modifying them…' Denise smiled as she knew very well that these four people were incredibly rare subjects for her experiments. She just couldn't stop herself from touching them…

First, Denise approached Wasa, the strongest member of the group, based on the information she had received. Because this person was strong, she believed that he was the perfect target as he could definitely endure her first examination.

After preparing all her things to conduct a study, she carefully lifted him onto her main study table.

She needed to understand their physiology—specifically, how their bodies differed from ordinary humans. She wanted to understand how they circulate their energy and control the time.

After all, she didn't have any magical Spells and could only rely on the old-fashioned way of dissecting humans.

Thankfully, she gained enough experience from Alchemist Heinz and had a very thorough method of studying human bodies without killing them in the process.

Perhaps she wasn't as good as Heinz but with her set of expensive equipment and materials, she knew that her lack of skills could be compensated with that.

Denise began her examination by listing his weight, height, heart rate, and other information about his body. Then, she started injecting a few serums into his body before she picked up her scalpel.

Soon, her hands moved. At first, her scalpel moved slowly since it had been a while since she opened up a human, but as she continued, her movements started getting faster and faster.

She then stopped for a moment, she noted the subtle differences in muscle structure and the faint, almost imperceptible energy that seemed to pulse beneath Wasa's skin.

She had actually started on Wasa's stomach since that is where the strongest energy was coming from.

It was as if his body was attuned to the flow of time itself.

Using her arcane tools, Denise measured the energy levels within Wasa's body.

"Mhmm… It's really different…" Denise muttered as she already tested a True Immortal, Demon Saint, Demon Generals, and even Magnus himself.

Anyway, the readings were fascinating—his cells seemed to vibrate at a different frequency, one that resonated with the temporal plane.

She made detailed notes of this since Temporal Magic was basically non-existent in this Realm until the appearance of these people.

'If I can harness this energy,' she thought, 'I might be able to create golems with the ability to manipulate time. But how?' Denise mused as she knew that her body couldn't handle this much. However, golems, on the other hand, had the possibility to do so.

Denise continued her examination, delving deeper into the mysteries of Wasa's physiology. She compared his body to that of a typical human, Arcanists, Demons, and others.

She noted the enhanced neural pathways and the unique structure of his brain. It was clear that Time Manipulators possessed a heightened sensitivity to temporal fluctuations.

As she worked, Denise's mind wandered to the other three prisoners. Liora, Cyper, and Elysia each had their own level of mastery over the Time Spells…

'I guess I'll have to see them all…' She mused.

She would need to study them all to fully understand the potential they held.

For now, she focused on Wasa…

After a few moments, she was sure that Vale had entrusted her with this task for a reason, and she was determined to uncover the secrets of the Time Manipulators.

Hours passed as Denise meticulously documented her findings.

She felt a sense of excitement building within her—this was uncharted territory, a new frontier in her research.

The possibilities were endless, and she was eager to explore them all!

As she finished her initial examination, Denise stepped back and looked at Wasa's figure and he seemed to be waking up.

'Not good.'
