I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Chapter 256: Slipping Past the Golden Warrior

Abbas’ face darkened as he watched Lis hovering in the air; with his strength, he could clearly discern the features of the man before him.

He appeared to be a man in his thirties, clad in a pure black Mage Robe, his complexion somewhat pale, yet his expression carried a mix of smugness and indulgence.

“Who are you?”

“You are provoking the Dillon Kingdom!”

Abbas spoke in a deep and powerful voice, which clearly reached the ears of Lis.

The appearance Lis now bore was naturally a disguise; he planned to use this identity to stir trouble in the capital of the Dillon Kingdom.

“Heh, it’s nothing special.”

“But what brings Lord Abbas, the commander of the Snow Wolf Army, to this place?”

With a somewhat chilling voice, Lis responded to Abbas while new blue fireballs appeared around him, falling toward West Castle.

“Stop!”

Abbas could no longer restrain his fury. West Castle was the labor of love of he and his Snow Wolf soldiers, and it also held great importance in the King’s plans; how could he let this man destroy it!

Streams of white Sword Qi flashed continuously; Abbas held nothing back as the hundred-meter-long Sword Qi directly sliced through the incoming blue fireballs from afar.

However, looking at Abbas’ somewhat pale face, the expenditure of such an attack method seemed terribly extreme.

“You know me; just who exactly are you?”

“Are you from the Feis Kingdom?”

Abbas voiced his greatest suspicion while his eyes intently watched Lis’ expression.

“The Feis Kingdom? Heh…”

“I am Moriarty from the Death Secret Cult.”

Lis even bowed to Abbas with a perfect nobleman’s salute, responding to Abbas’ suspicions with a smile that was both mocking and ambiguous.

Holding the Jade Wand in his hand, Lis once again gathered a new magical light, though different from the spells he had used before.

The sky seemed to darken further as large gray raindrops fell, striking both West Castle and Abbas.

“What is this?”

Abbas was puzzled; he felt no threat of attack.

But what was strange about this rain?

Like a summer downpour, the rain fell on the castle and the surrounding ground, quickly forming puddles of various sizes that flowed everywhere. Amidst the surrounding snow, it appeared particularly ominous.

The rain was problematic!

After careful perception, Abbas discovered a faint scent of death and chaos in the rainwater. It posed no threat to a Gold Level warrior like himself, but for ordinary people or Professionals with weaker constitutions, it would be easy for this bizarre aura to infiltrate, assaulting and weakening both body and spirit.

Lis was well aware of his own creation; this was one of the new arcane spells he had invented, and also a spell with an area effect.

The Sixth Circle Arcane “Lis’ Nether River Domain”!

Thanks to a drop of Nether River Essence Lis had obtained earlier, he was able to mimic some properties of Nether River water through arcane, covering a predetermined area through rainfall.

Although this rainwater was far from the unpredictable effects of the true Nether River Water, it was already significantly potent in weakening Low-level Professionals.

Since it was magically simulated, this rainfall would not freeze due to low temperatures and would seep into every place according to the terrain.

Abbas had already ordered everyone to evacuate, so it seemed that Lis’ spell did not affect anyone at all.

But this arcane spell had another effect, if Lis didn’t cancel the effect of the spell before the rain disappeared, the weird aura carried by the rainwater would linger in this area, essentially creating a long-lasting, weakened version of a bizarre domain. This effect was very difficult for priests to cleanse.

That meant this place would be affected by this negative effect for years to come.

This arcane spell was somewhat malicious, and Lis rarely used it.

Oh, it’s the enemy country, then it’s fine!

Although Abbas did not understand the effect of the rainwater, he knew it definitely wasn’t anything good.

If he had been a Gold Level priest, there might have been a way to salvage the situation on-site, but he was only a warrior.

Giving up on further inquiries, Abbas had already figured out that this unknown mage’s goal was to destroy West Castle.

Although he had a feeling he couldn’t stop it, Abbas still prepared to fight desperately one last time.

Taking a deep breath, Abbas suddenly leaped up from the castle, charging directly towards Lis in mid-air.

Warriors, before ascending to Legend, did not have the ability to fly. Abbas was completely using his physical strength to attempt to “fly” toward Lis.

Iron Fools Warrior, but one had to admit that his speed in that instant was incredibly fast, the slow movement speed of [Advanced Floating Technique] simply couldn’t dodge it.

Lis wasn’t panicked; he was very familiar with this style of combat, one of the few methods a warrior had to attack aerial targets.

Ordinary mages could not possibly manage high-altitude flying like Lis, which was a combination of the effects of several spells: [Advanced Floating Technique], [Light and Agile Flight], [Persistent Flight], and most importantly, the buffing effect of the [Sphinx’s Wisdom] on Lis’s affinity with the Wind Element, which pushed the effectiveness of Lis’s flying spells to their limits.

Otherwise, how could a Silver Mage easily elude a Gold Warrior?

Facing the rapidly approaching Abbas and the sharp sword light hidden in his longsword, the corners of Lis’s mouth slightly tilted upward.

Just as Abbas’s longsword was about to strike Lis, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, reappearing directly above West Castle.

What is going on!

Space teleport?

Abbas stared in astonishment at Lis’s figure, but his body uncontrollably fell toward the distance.

Lis floated in the air, smiling as he looked down,

[Stephen’s Teleportation Ring]

Equipment Effect 1: [Teleportation Technique], can be used three times a day for the Five-Ring Magic Teleportation spell]

Three opportunities a day to use [Teleportation Technique], and most crucially, these three uses of [Teleportation Technique] initiated instantly, much faster than Lis using [Teleportation Technique] himself.

However, up to now, Lis had yet to master the Five-Ring Magic spell [Teleportation Technique].

But under the buff of [Sphinx’s Wisdom], Lis had been using the ring to teleport recently and was becoming increasingly familiar with the Space Element.

It shouldn’t be long before he mastered [Teleportation Technique] himself.

Smiling at Abbas, the magic wand in Lis’s hand began to emit a blue-purple light.

Abbas, who landed on a distant ridge, was desperately rushing back, but it was already too late.

Six-Circle Arcane [Lis’s Thunder Domain]!

Boom! Boom~

Numerous arm-thick blue thunders fell from the sky, striking the deep gray castle. The fine lightning spread along the castle walls and bricks, using the previous rainwater.

Gray Obsidian, this kind of stone material, simply couldn’t resist the fierce magic attacks, crumbling under the blue-purple lightning, and began to slowly turn to ashes.
