Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

881  Denise's Conclusion

Denise just finished noting the unique energy patterns and the enhanced neural pathways of the Time Manipulator that set them apart from ordinary humans, when something unexpected happened.

She noticed subtle signs of movement!

Wasa's fingers twitched, and his breathing became more pronounced.

'Not good!'

Denise's eyes widened in alarm.

'He's waking up,' she thought as her mind raced to find a solution.

As expected of a Time Manipulator, Wasa's physique and control over his body were extraordinary.

Denise quickly activated a series of Magic Arrays around the study table. The intricate symbols glowed with a soft blue light, designed to induce sleep and suppress consciousness.

She watched anxiously as the arrays took effect, but Wasa's resistance was formidable. His eyelids fluttered, and he began to stir.

Realizing that the Magic Arrays alone wouldn't be enough, Denise reached for a vial of special fluid. This concoction was designed to enhance the effects of the sleep-inducing magic. However, it had some negative effects and she could only hope that Wasa's physique could handle it.

'Losing 4 or 5 Spirit Strands shouldn't be problem.' Denise thought.

She then carefully injected the fluid into Wasa's arm, watching as it spread through his veins.

Wasa's movements slowed, but he continued to fight against the enchantment. His eyes was already wide open, but it seemed like he was just being delirious.

Denise wasn't sure if Wasa was fully aware of what was going on in his brain or if he was just instinctively fighting whatever was limiting his body.

"I don't want to kill you… So just stay asleep…" Denise muttered as she knew that if he increased the Magic Array's effect and the fluid in this man's body, there would be a high chance that he'd die.

She didn't want a precious subject to perish since it would be a waste and lastly, Vale might scold her for killing this man!

Nonetheless, Denise knew that she would be helpless against this man once he woke up. Apex Guardian also doesn't have enough skills to bind a Time Manipulator. Well, this android could probably kill Wasa but not suppress him.

'One more…'

Denise's heart pounded as she prepared another injection, this time with a stronger dose. She administered the fluid carefully. Her hands were steady despite the urgency, which showed her skills.

Thud…

Finally, Wasa's resistance began to wane. His eyelids drooped, and his body relaxed. Denise let out a sigh of relief, but she knew she had to be cautious. The Time Manipulators' control over their bodies was remarkable, and any lapse in vigilance could be disastrous.

'This has to be noted…' Denise thought as she noted every change that had happened just now. Of course, she has an android that doesn't look like a human doing that for her. It was the special table or device itself that was filled with various pieces of equipment she needed for dissection or studying any human beings or otherworldly beings.

Anyway, with Wasa securely asleep, Denise decided to examine the other Time Manipulators to see the difference between a weaker and stronger Time Manipulator.

She was hoping that this experiment would be very useful.

However, before she could continue, Magnus suddenly appeared behind the door of her laboratory.

"You can come in, Sir Magnus." Denise said.

As Magnus came in, he immediately looked at the Time Manipulators who were about to get opened by Denise despite being alive.

"Err… I just felt some disturbance." Magnus said as he cautiously looked at the Apex Guardian who would rarely leave Denise's side.

"Everything's fine… I'm just studying them a bit. I'm sure that Sir Vale wanted me to do this… If I need some help, I'll call for you." Denise said.

Magnus finally smiled and nodded.

"As long as you're not going to kill them yet, I'm sure that Sir Vale wouldn't mind whatever you do to them. Good luck, Miss Denise."

With this said, Magnus finally left as he decided to continue his experiment. Just now, he obtained a vial containing the special potion that could turn an ordinary human being into a talented individual that could practice an Arcane Path…

Based on the reports, any human who was able to consume this potion could guarantee that they could at least practice one of the Arcane Paths and if they were average, they should be able to choose any four or five Arcane Paths to practice.

Of course, these forcefully enhanced people could only practice one Arcane Path but it was still an incredible creation that would surely advance this realm…

'But I have a bad feeling about this…' Magnus thought as he shut himself inside his laboratory to also conduct a study.

Meanwhile, Denise restarted her study after Magnus left and moved to Liora, who lay on a nearby table. As she fully undressed the lady, Denise confirmed that there were no Edo Stones hidden other items that could interfere her research.

Denise then activated the Magic Arrays around Liora, ensuring she remained unconscious. She should not make the same mistake.

After taking a deep breath, she began her examination, noting the same enhanced neural pathways and unique energy patterns. Liora's body, like Wasa's, seemed attuned to the flow of time. She continued studying her for three hours before feeling satisfied…

It seemed that she was getting better at this, as Liora didn't show any signs of waking up at all.

Next, Denise turned her attention to Cyper. She repeated the process, activating the Magic Arrays and administering the special fluid. This time, however, Cyper's resistance was strong, but Denise's preparations held firm.

'Weird…' Denise muttered as she felt that she was missing something. Nonetheless, this was part of the research and she could only continue.

Finally, Denise approached Elysia. After injecting her and activating the array, Denise observed Elysia's body succumbed to the enchantment.

Denise then resumed her studies. She compared the four's physiologies, noting the similarities and differences. Each possessed unique traits, but the common thread was their heightened sensitivity to temporal fluctuations.

Denise's mind buzzed with possibilities. She could harness this knowledge to create golems with time-manipulating abilities, or perhaps develop new spells and enchantments. The potential was limitless, but she had to proceed with caution.

As she worked, Denise couldn't help but marvel at the complexity of the Time Manipulators. Their abilities were both fascinating and formidable, and she was determined to unlock their secrets.

After about three days of studying without sleep, Denise finally left the laboratory with an exhausted face…

'It's a pity… I can only make five golems with the same trait with one Time Manipulator. I can't be too wasteful… There must be a way…'
