I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 394: Chapter 332: The Rise of a King!_3

Seeing that his objective was achieved, Lis immediately withdrew, extinguishing the Blue Flame on his Longsword at the same time.

At this moment, saving even a bit of Magic Power was good.

The agonized roar of the giant shark suddenly erupted, causing Lis’s brain to feel somewhat dizzy.

At the same time, a violent fluctuation of Magic Power spread rapidly outward from the shark’s body, even pushing away the water beneath it.

But the counterattack of the massive shark had no effect; Lis had already anticipated this and was far away.

However, the ghostly blue flame continued to burn on the back of the shark, gnawing at its flesh and Magic Power like a maggot in a bone, causing it unbearable pain.

Just as the giant shark attempted to deal with the threat on its back, Lis, wielding a Long Spear, reappeared at its right side, once again leaving a bloody wound on the shark’s body with the sharp point of the spear.

Under the buff of the Extraordinary Domain, Patrick’s formidable physical defense was not invincible to Lis.

Without pausing, Lis once again submerged into the Shadow, dodging the shark’s incoming tail.

Feeling the terrifying force that had just missed him by a hair’s breadth, Lis did not show fear in his eyes but continued to press forward.

He mercilessly slammed a two-meter diameter Heavy Hammer onto Patrick’s dorsal fin, a Transcendent weapon that was so heavy it was quite useless for anything else; Lis could only barely control the direction of the hammer using inertia.

Lis smashed Patrick’s dorsal fin, breaking it outright, and the crimson blood and striking white bones were particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.

So… it’s just like the structure of a real shark!

Go to

This thought flashed through Lis’s mind, and at this moment his consciousness was also reaching its limit.

Just then, he saw the look in Patrick’s eyes.

In those pitch-black eyes was a mixture of anger, hatred, and a hint of pleasure from finally catching you.

What?

It was all an act!

He had not lost his rationality!

As Lis thought of escaping, dense green vines suddenly appeared in the space around him, wrapping around his body.

These vines seemed to have the effect of interfering with Lis’s use of Magic Power, causing the Magic Power that he was rapidly mobilizing to falter for an instant.

Clenching his teeth, Lis’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.

So, everything prior was an act by Patrick, all to catch the opportunity to control him?

For this, he even sustained multiple injuries from Lis’s attacks, biding his time without making a move before he was certain.

Patrick’s heart was filled with relief; if Lis hadn’t continuously inflicted heavy damage on him, he might not have regained a sliver of his rationality from the “Fallen” state.

This was power derived from the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, and for him, a Golden Druid who had not even mastered the Extraordinary Domain, it was very difficult to shake off the influence of Divine Power and regain consciousness.

Patrick could already sense that if he did not die this time, his strength would take a great leap forward, and even ascending to the next level and mastering the Extraordinary Domain was not impossible.

What about now?

Patrick looked at the temporarily controlled Lis in front of him, and various thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The consciousness that he had regained was barely enough to control his body and Lis, and he had no energy left for anything else.

In this situation, he could control Lis for at most a second or two before being broken free from.

Then there would be no chance left!

Patrick’s eyes sharpened; this was the only way!

A surge of extremely powerful Soul Strength suddenly invaded Lis’s mind.

———–

[You have been invaded by Druid Patrick’s (LV135) Soul Invasion!]

[Soul Invasion has begun!]

———–

Lis felt a wave of dizziness in his mind, sensing a powerful soul invading his body, seeking to wrest control of it from him.

[Soul Invasion]?

This was familiar to Lis, and he had received relevant explanations from Mr. Stephens.

It was a move that cut off all retreat; success or martyrdom!

Gold-level professionals could forcibly project their souls out of their bodies to invade someone else’s, vying for control of the body with its owner.

This soul-level struggle was extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could spell the scattering of one’s soul.

Only the Soul Strength of Gold-level professionals was sufficient to temporarily leave the body and invade another’s.

This move seemed mighty, but it also came with significant limitations.

Firstly, when the user’s soul leaves the body to enter another’s, it’s akin to fighting in someone else’s home ground; unless the soul is overwhelmingly powerful, the attempt could easily fail, leaving no chance of returning to one’s own body.

Secondly, even if one could control the other’s body, that body, after all, isn’t one’s own, and its compatibility with the soul is uncertain; also, any attempt to return to the original body carries considerable repercussions, essentially a pyrrhic victory.

Therefore, few people employ this ability, even when facing life-or-death battles.

After all, with the Soul Strength of someone on the Gold Rank, trying to forcefully annihilate another soul inside their body is exceedingly difficult.

If the target were a Silver Mage or even a Bronze professional, one could overpower them using the inherent strength of a Gold Rank; why use such a risky Skill?

But Patrick could no longer care, he had to bet on this one chance despite the countless troubles it would cause later!

Who would have known this Silver Mage was so strong, dominating the fight by mastering the Extraordinary Domain?

If he did not seize this opportunity to control Lis and take a life-or-death strike, he probably wouldn’t get another chance.

Besides, with so many secrets on him, taking over his body would surely not be a loss!
