?The Divine Lightning was incredibly powerful… Moreover, it came at him so fast that he barely managed to put up some defense. His defense was easily shattered and he was lucky that he escaped being fatally injured!
However, because of this lightning, the Demon Saint couldn't move or speak for now... He needed some time to heal. He could only watch as Galan continued to fight the Immortal by himself.
But this Immortal was incredibly strong!
It was as if he could manipulate the Darkness itself!
'An Immortal specializing in Darkness?!' He couldn't help but feel surprised.
Immortals may be capable of wielding any Arcane Path or even wielding something beyond that Path, but Immortals that specialize in Darkness were rare since it could be considered as a Cursed Path…
The Immortals practicing these were the ones who could be easily corrupted by the Demon Saints!
However, Galan was struggling to corrupt the Immortal!
The battle between Vale and Galan may not seem to be intense but it was quite chaotic…
They weren't using fancy spells when they clashed but they used their raw Divinity to try to overpower each other and only used physical techniques when they were closed to each other.
'Why is he not using the Divine Lightning against Galan? Can he no longer use it?!' The Demon Saint felt a bit excited as he wanted to quickly recover and help Galan in battle.
If the Immortal could no longer summon that lightning, they would surely win this battle!
In the meantime, Vale was actually gauging the strength of the Demon Saint in front of him… He could've easily won this battle if he decided to just utilize his system's Extraction.
However, he wanted to have a better understanding of their abilities since Faith, Pearl, and the others might actually face these Demon Saints as well.
If he had learned about their fighting techniques and weaknesses beforehand, then once his companions faced them, he wouldn't be too worried about their safety.
'They're mostly relying on their Corrupted Divinity to convert their targets' energy.' Vale analyzed as he resisted the Corrupted Divinity…
Well, his opponent was probably confused by now. Even if he was getting hit by the Corrupted Divinity from time to time, he wasn't being corrupted or converted at all.
Needless to say, this was all because of his Shadow Celestial physique and his Perfect Incorruptible Body.
Futhermore, Vale also had the advantage of using Shadow Divinity, a power that was different from other Immortals.
He could manipulate the Shadow or Darkness itself…
As they fought, he was able to create and control shadows that could attack or defend him…
He could also use the Light, creating and controlling flashes that could blind, burn, or reveal. He could also switch between the two, creating and controlling contrasts that could confuse, surprise, or overwhelm.
On the other hand, Galan's Corrupted Divinity, a power that was common among the Demon Saints, seemed to be a lot weaker than he thought.
'It can't corrupt the surroundings… It can only target the energy… This is good to know.' Vale remarked in his mind as he initially thought that the Demon Saints were capable of spreading plague-like miasma that would slowly destroy the earth.s
However, it appears that he was overestimating their capability...
'But it can also be due to their weakened state…' He added.
Galan could corrupt and twist the power of others, turning it against them or weakening it. He could also use his own power like a curse, which was quite expected considering that they'd made those cursed objects.
Lastly, Vale also noticed that they weren't too reliant on Magic Artifact. Galan's robe and accessories could provide him with added defense and boost his energy, but it was all just that.
As the Vale's controlled shadow clashed with Corrupted Divinity, he realized that he already had enough and had to end this battle.
He decided to extract the Demon Saint!
Harnessing the power of his Presence Shift, Vale seamlessly transitioned through the fabric of space, materializing nimbly and noiselessly behind his unsuspecting adversary.
In that fleeting moment, the movement of the air was the only clue that Vale used a technique to arrive behind the Demon Saint!
At this time, Vale , with a calculated and decisive motion, used his Shadow Divinity to create a shadow hand that grabbed the Demon Saint's head!
"What?! You—" Galan was surprised as he didn't expect such a swift movement!
Then, Vale invoked the Divine Extraction.
It didn't end there, because he felt the resistance of the Demon Saint from his Extraction, he used his Stormbringer to peirce the Demon Saint's heart!
Since the Demon Saint had plenty of vitality, it wouldn't actually kill him.
Nevertheless, this stopped his resistance as Vale extracted the Demon Saint freely!

"Aaahhh! What are you doing?!" Galan shouted in fear as he felt his power leaving him!s
On the other hand, Vale felt the Demon Saint's energy flow into him.
He no longer bothered talking as he watched as the Demon Saint's body and soul crumbled and vanished. He watched as the Demon Saint's life and existence ended and disappeared.
Then, his gaze shifted to the injured Demon Saint and made a quick work on him. He was completely powerless as Vale lifted his hand and manipulated the shadows.
