I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 801

Chapter 801: Chapter 498: Jesus’ Struggle_2

Within the shattered city walls, the figure of Jesus appeared distinctly, but now he was severely injured.

His right arm was twisted at a strange angle, seemingly having lost its original form, while his left leg was completely gone, leaving only a short section of fractured bone and incessant flowing blood. His body was also covered with small wounds, and he seemed to be drenched in blood.

However, Jesus seemed to feel no pain at all, his blood-red eyes fixed intently on Lis in midair, completely devoid of any rationality.

Jesus roared incessantly, growling like a beast from his throat, like a monster driven into madness. The black and red Demon Power circulated around him like a series of black chains, gradually repairing his wounds, while also turning his skin rough and dark red, his appearance becoming increasingly ferocious and terrifying, with the features of an Abyss Demon gradually emerging on his body.

“Has he lost his rationality, fallen, and been completely possessed by the Demon Power?”

Lis, looking down at Jesus, was somewhat surprised.

Honestly, he had controlled the force of his previous attack, and the person before him should have been only grievously injured and not dead.

Unexpectedly, it seemed as if the inner blockade had been broken, and he, completely corroded by the Demon Power, became a beast devoid of any rationality, even giving up the chance to flee, ready to launch an attack on Lis.

What Lis didn’t know was that since Jesus didn’t want to be controlled by the Demon Power, he had always been carefully maintaining the balance between the Magic Power and the Demon Power within his body.

Lis’s previous attack directly caused Jesus to be gravely injured and disrupted the balance of power inside him, allowing the highly corrosive Demon Power to instantly devour his rationality.

“What a pity…”

Lis shook his head slightly, naturally not concerned about the threat posed by the fallen Jesus, but it was certain that Jesus in this state wouldn’t be able to regain his rationality.

Although he had anticipated that Jesus, with his Demon Power, must be a member of an Extraordinary Organization that worships Abyss Demons, and his soul likely had Secret Sealing or similar controls, making it nearly impossible to obtain information from him, it was still a bit regrettable.

“Lord Lis!”

Carrying Walker, Xia Zuo followed the sound of the previous explosion and arrived on the rooftop below Lis.

Seeing Jesus completely controlled by the Demon Power was unexpected, and he quickly took out his weapon, on guard.

Lis thought for a moment and then said to Xia Zuo:

“Xia Zuo, put him down; this man is yours to deal with. Get more familiar with fighting opponents who possess Demon Power, understand?”

Even completely fallen, Jesus posed no threat to Lis, so it might as well be a good practice for Xia Zuo.

Originally, he had come to Acot City in search of the mercenaries who captured and sold Elf Slaves, but it seemed this organization might also be related to the Abyss Demons.

For the Elves of [Nature’s Wrath], this was an excellent training opportunity.

Lis had not forgotten that the purpose of forming [Nature’s Wrath] was to find and eliminate Abyss Demons; eradicating the Elf Slave Catching Team was just a way to practice.

“Yes, Lord Lis!”

Xia Zuo, upon hearing Lis’s command, did not hesitate.

He quickly placed Walker down to lie on the rooftop and promptly jumped down from the rooftop with his short blade in hand, landing nimbly on the ground and charging toward Jesus amidst the city wall ruins.

He had just been tricked by this fellow’s Illusion Technique and lost face in front of Lord Lis.

Xia Zuo had already resolved to take this man down quickly to recover his image in the eyes of Lord Lis!

Lis did not pay attention to Xia Zuo’s battle; if Xia Zuo couldn’t easily handle Jesus even in such a state, then his previous investment in [Nature’s Wrath] would indeed have been in vain.

The battle with Jesus would also allow Xia Zuo to become more familiar with the strength of Abyss Demons, which could be considered a quite decent training opportunity.

Lis approached the unconscious Walker. His injuries were all caused by Xia Zuo, who had been deceived by the illusion, although serious, they were not fatal.

After receiving Healing Magic used by Lis, his injuries visibly started to improve.

As a World Tree’s Favored, holding the Extraordinary Domain [Life], the Healing Magic used by Lis was far stronger than that of any ordinary Priest.

As long as there was a breath left, Lis could pull you back from the brink.

Just then, a subtle and melodious sound of wind quietly arose, as if carrying a call from the ancient forest, making the air around gently vibrate.

On the rooftops around Lis, the figures of a dozen Elves appeared, kneeling uniformly and bowing as they said:

“Lord Lis!”

The two elite Elf Teams from “Nature’s Wrath” who had been waiting outside the city walls had rushed into the city at full speed after receiving Erik’s urgent notification.

On their way, they had noticed the battle at the city walls and felt a familiar aura. Cendelle, leading the elves, hurried over.

Indeed, they found their leader, Sage Lis, leisurely standing on a rooftop, while Xia Zuo was engaged in battle with a shadowy figure wrapped in a sinister black and red aura.

Many elves were surprised because the aura emanating from the shadowy figure seemed familiar to them, very similar to the Demon Power that Lord Lis had previously simulated for them.

“You’ve arrived?”

Lis nodded and pointed to the battle below with Xia Zuo.

“Go, one by one, to replace Xia Zuo.”

“Each of you get a feel for it, experience what it’s like to fight an enemy with Demon Power.”

“Yes!”

The Elf Warriors promptly responded, and soon several elves leapt from the rooftop, heading towards Xia Zuo’s position.

In the distance, the Extraordinary Professionals watching the situation carefully were astonished.

All the Extraordinary Professionals appearing here had seen elves; it wasn’t anything unusual since Acot City actually had many elves residing within it.

However, what surprised them was that these clearly elite Elf Warriors were all obeying the command of a human?

What was going on?

Yet a few recognized the elves who appeared here as members of the newly risen “Nature’s Wrath,” and the human they treated with such extraordinary respect, could it be…

Lis didn’t care for the prying eyes in the distance, or to put it another way, there wasn’t much within the Royal Capital of Bolin Kingdom that merited his attention.

Not to mention the deterrence of the Elf Kingdom, Bolin Kingdom itself wasn’t a particularly powerful nation, and it lacked the presence of a Legendary Strongman.

As for Duke Burns, the big shot of Bolin Kingdom, perhaps he didn’t even know of the existence of this Blood Clan legend in his own domain?

Regardless of the relationship between Lis and this big shot, with his own strength, he could walk sideways through Bolin Kingdom.

Besides, Lis was also intentionally being high-profile.

After all, “Nature’s Wrath” had not been established for long, and by acting in such a way, it could more quickly establish awe for “Nature’s Wrath” among the human kingdoms near Elf Forest, facilitating the search for the Elf Slave Catching Team and Abyss Demons.

Of course, Lis would also make sure that his subordinate elves did not disrupt the lives of ordinary people, although such situations were quite rare for the elves.

“Cendelle, come here,”

Lis said, gesturing to Cendelle, the closest one dressed as an Elf Mage.

“Lord Lis.”

Even though she had known Lis for a while, Cendelle did not show the slightest disrespect.

In the absence of Daphne, she always treated Lis with such an attitude.

“Cendelle, Xia Zuo was careless this time, and there could have been danger if I hadn’t been here.”

“In this situation, do you think there is any clue left to pursue?”

Lis looked at Cendelle with a smile and asked.

“This…”

Cendelle hesitated, unsure of what would be the best course of action in this situation.

After a moment’s wait, seeing her hesitation, Lis smiled and hinted,

“What do you think is the reason the City Guard Army hasn’t shown up after so long?”
