I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1402 - 793: Underground City and Magic Beasts2

"What happened?"

Lis looked at the notification in front of him and contacted Minos.

Minos was silent for a mont, and an ergency ssage marked with a special symbol appeared in front of Lis.

Lis glanced at it briefly.

The content was an ergency report regarding a small town nad Gray Stone City within the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s controlled territory, destroyed by unknown beasts.

Hmm?

Lis looked at the final note, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The association had sent exploration teams to investigate Gray Stone City eight years after its destruction.

No living people were found in Gray Stone City, not even a complete corpse.

Based on various remnants on the corpse fragnts, it could be confird as the work of Magic Beasts.

Moreover, the investigation found that more than one type of Magic Beast attacked Gray Stone City.

The identified types included Bear Goblins, Eye Demons, and a wolf-shaped Magic Beast.

A sense of familiarity...

Lis raised his eyebrow; aren’t these Magic Beast types commonly seen in Underground Cities?

Is there an Underground City nearby?

A new Underground City has appeared around Gray Stone City?

This is interesting!

The Pan-Continent Mage Association on Anola Continent has nurous Underground City areas.

Among the eight continents of Gaia World, not all have such unique regions like Underground Cities.

However, the area of Underground City regions on so continents is not large, and they are not connected.

For instance, the continent of Fanor, where Lis’ territory is located, doesn’t have any Underground City areas.

Among them, Anola and Gena continents have the largest Underground City regions, which are interconnected.

The Underground City regions on Anola and Gena continents are also known as Underground World.

The Underground World is not only caves and rocks; unique conditions create different environnts.

Deep caves, fungal spore plains, lava areas, and various uniquely dangerous regions.

These diverse areas equally breed differing bios and Magic Beasts.

Judging by the situation, a new Underground City has erged around Gray Stone City, and it seems the Magic Beasts in this Floating City are quite strong.

Lis continued reading the investigation report and indeed found sothing more intriguing later on.

According to the Pan-Continent Mage Association personnel’s investigation, there were no Legendary Rank existences among the Magic Beasts that destroyed Gray Stone City; the strongest was rely Golden Rank.

However, not far from Gray Stone City, investigators still found traces suggesting the presence of legendary existences.

Moreover, there were several legendary auras.

That dark evil aura was clearly not benevolent in any way.

Investigators carefully tracked these legendary auras, resulting in the discovery of a new Underground City passage within the nearby mountains from Gray Stone City.

Due to this situation, the Legendary Council convened an ergency eting.

...

At the Legendary Council eting,

"A new Underground City?"

The association’s Legendary mbers were sowhat surprised looking at the intelligence in their hands.

An Underground City housing legendary existences definitely covers a substantial area; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly foster Legendary Strongn.

Moreover, it might be connected to other Underground World regions on Anola Continent.

Such an Underground City exit is quite a hassle.

Underground Cities nurtured by the continent have many precious minerals and treasures, but simultaneously, the dangers within are genuinely present.

Besides those demons, there are also many intelligent races existing.

Dwarfs, goblins, Dark Elves, and so forth, are quite troubleso entities in such unique Underground City areas.

Although the Pan-Continent Mage Association’s Strength is considerably powerful, Mages find it challenging to exert themselves in such unique Underground City environnts.

"Since it’s within the association’s territory, it must be addressed."

Bolcan patted the table and said:

"Dispatch people over quickly; at least a Legendary mber."

"The situation is unclear; for safety, it’s preferable to send several legends."

The other side’s [Lie Cocoon] Uleer nodded and complented:

"Those who voluntarily go can receive an extra share of resources extracted after the matter is resolved."

"No problem."

"I agree!"

"I haven’t been down to the Underground City for a long ti; count in."

...

Many Legendary resources still showed interest in the ergence of this new Underground City passage.

After all, it represents an undeveloped Underground City area.

Be it the living demons or the wise races that can be communicated with, they all represent wealth to Mages.

Moreover, people on Anola Continent are quite familiar with the Underground City.

Before this, Underground City passages did appear before.

The reason Gray Stone City was attacked was because those Magic Beasts were hunting.

However, these creatures living long in the Underground City are not suited to the surface environnt.

Therefore, instinctively they will retreat into the Underground City before sunrise.

But this has a ti limit.

If unchecked, once those underground Magic Beasts and creatures adapt to sunlight, the creatures around the Underground City passage will suffer.

The Underground City’s living environnt is extrely harsh, making even the weakest dwarfs capable of attacking humans with a nurical advantage.

It is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, and the association cannot neglect it.

Following discussions among the Legendary mbers, a rough plan based on prior routines was proposed.

Several Legendary mbers prepared to go over.

After all, Underground City areas with Legendary Strongn attract the Legendary mbers.

Lis, predictably, was one of them.

Recently, under Lis’ covert planning and promotion, the [Source of All Magic] has been steadily progressing and developing increasingly fast.

The most crucial aspect is that several Legendary mbers have joined the [Source of All Magic].

From among the association’s schools, except for [Star Breath], no other legend has voluntarily joined.

But Lis is not worried.

The influence of those schools is not small.

Although currently, there are no obvious asures from them, Lis is sure they won’t just concede.

Lis continuously monitors their movents.

Yet, up to now, has acquired nothing.

So... if he, as the school leader of [Source of All Magic], leaves the association for a period.

Even if he’s just not in Kane Floating City and Jonas City, can those people resist not taking action?

Lis greatly anticipates this.

He needs to identify from the list which are genuinely problematic.

...

Not far from Gray Stone City,

In the center of those rugged mountains, a terrifying collapse fell open, forming a deep, abyssal cave.

This cave, like a giant mouth of the earth, deep and mysterious, seemingly leading directly to an endless Abyss underground.

This is the hidden passage to the Mysterious Underground City.

Along the edges of the cave, one can see strings of eye-catching black bloodstains.

These bloodstains had long solidified, as if dragged by so kind of Magic Beast, leaving winding marks, as if recounting a fierce tale that once happened here.

Above this deep cave, a scene both bustling and tense unfolded.

Hundreds of mages in varied colored robes were busily working at their respective posts.

So wielding their Magic Wands, chanting spells, as the spell sounds reverberated in the air;

Others bent down, ticulously constructing complex array patterns on the ground, each stroke filled with their focus and Strength.

These arrays, varied in shapes, seed to have so Mysterious connections with each other.

Nurous Magic Power Gems floated in midair above the cave, shimring with the multihued magic radiance.

These magic radiances interweave, collide, ultimately converging in the sky above the cave, forming a dazzling ocean of magic brilliance.

Under the illumination of this glow, a seemingly thin yet extraordinarily Solid blue Magic Barrier gradually appeared.

It resembled a gigantic transparent shield, securely enveloping the cave, isolating the cave from the outside world.

This layer of Barrier emitted gentle yet firm blue light, seemingly declaring to the world its inviolability.

Careful observation revealed intricately flowing runes on the Barrier surface.

These runes flickered unsteadily like stars in the night sky, containing endless mysteries and Strength.

At the sa ti, a group of small Demon Statues, under the mages’ precise control, marched chanically towards the Underground cave.
