I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1563 - 869: Creating Opportunities for Them (Part 2)

"Indeed, if it weren’t for you, Lis, actively releasing your aura, I wouldn’t have been able to sense that you’ve broken through to the demigod level."

"Your aura was strong before, but still within the realm of the legendary."

"So, how did you do it?"

Morris was a bit curious.

It’s known that those who successfully achieve legendary status are hardly incompetent.

Moreover, legends have keen perception, and the transcendent changes during their ascent to legendary enable them to vaguely foresee things that are unfavorable to themselves.

For example, when facing a demigod strongman, even if the opponent hides their aura well, legends would still have a corresponding alertness.

Furthermore, Morris was quite confident in his own perception abilities.

However, when facing Lis before, he felt nothing at all.

This was quite strange!

As far as Morris knew, no Saint could achieve such a feat.

After all, no matter how strong a demigod’s ability to hide their aura, those walking the Path to Divinity would shine like the sun.

Yet, Morris never had that feeling with Lis before.

"That’s good."

Lis nodded, confirming his own speculation.

As for the characteristics of the demigod realm, Lis had understood them from the many secret tos of the Elf Clan.

However, the way he achieved demigod status was sowhat unique.

It was his wisdom avatar that achieved demigod status, not himself.

After allowing the wisdom avatar to rge with himself, Lis gained the power of the demigod domain.

Before rging with the wisdom avatar, Lis was still just an "ordinary" legendary strongman.

According to Lis’s own investigations, although the wisdom avatar resided within him, due to the special nature of the wisdom avatar and Lis’s own barrier, others were almost impossible to detect its existence.

Therefore, as long as Lis did not actively rge with the wisdom avatar and utilize the power of a demigod, in the eyes of other legends, or even demigods, Lis was just a legend.

This gave Lis a chance to exploit the ti difference.

"Are you thinking...?"

Morris looked at Lis, suddenly realizing sothing.

"Just as you guessed."

Lis nodded.

Indeed, those who achieve demigod status aren’t diocre.

Especially not Morris, the leader of this branch of the Dawn Church.

"Morris, you don’t want that demigod beast’s power to remain in your body forever, do you?"

Lis looked at Morris and said with a smile.

"It’s too dangerous."

Morris remained silent for a mont but then shook his head.

"There’s no need for you to take the risk..."

"I understand your concerns."

Lis waved his hand, interrupting Morris.

"But I think there’s nothing in that underground city that can threaten now, is there?"

"That’s true."

Hearing this, Morris sighed with a smile after a pause.

Lis had already achieved demigod status, so even in the underground city, the domain of those Abyss Evil Gods, they couldn’t pose any threat to Lis in a hurry.

In fact, rather than being a threat, it might be more correct to worry about that Abyssal Demon.

The Church of the Gods had contemplated sending Saints to eliminate those three newborn demigod beasts, but as soon as Saints entered the underground city, they were detected.

Finding those three demigod beasts was impossible.

If Lis’s ability could remain effective in such situations, it might truly draw out the demigod beast.

After all, Lis, while still a legend, was not sothing that ordinary legends could resist.

The best way was to let that demigod beast take action.

"But if you suddenly appear in the underground city, the other side might realize it’s a trap and might wait quietly for you to leave."

Morris pondered, frowning.

The demigod beast might not be very intelligent, but the Dark Elves behind it, even the Spider Queen Rose, would pay close attention to this matter.

After all, Lis was still very attractive to them.

After several assaults, Lis dared to appear in the underground city again, clearly having sothing to rely on.

In such circumstances, it’s difficult to lure out the demigod beast.

"I know."

Lis smiled and said:

"Then, let them actively ’create’ an opportunity!"

...

Outside the Newborn Underground City of Ruiz Kingdom,

There was a newly born underground city, nad Ruiz Underground City due to its location.

Unlike Kaleel Dungeon on the Fanor Continent, this underground city was just a small-scale dungeon.

The Abyss Channel connecting here wasn’t large, so the power of the abyss monsters in this underground city wasn’t very strong.

As a result, the Church Alliance Army stationed outside this underground city was also much cruder compared to Kaleel Dungeon.

After all, in Kaleel Dungeon, there was a demigod-level abyssal demon.

To guard against and monitor that abyssal demon, the Church of the Gods had spared no expense in setting up their defenses outside Kaleel Dungeon.

Besides the Church Alliance Army stationed here, there were also quite a number of players present.

After all, not all players enjoyed prolonged high-intensity battles.

In Kaleel Dungeon, the main battlefield, the pressure to complete missions was extrely high.

Besides hardcore gars, plot enthusiasts, and masochists, many players chose to co to the relatively lower-level dungeon front lines to complete the 4.0 main questline.

Ruiz Underground City was one of them.

Kaleel Dungeon was one of the existing few underground cities on the Fanor Continent.

It used to be rely a small underground city, but under the influence of Abyss Power, Kaleel Dungeon had beco a large underground city, expanding unknown distances underground.

In contrast, Ruiz Underground City was a newly born underground city, and its environnt was still unstable.

Therefore, the environnt here posed significant dangers to both the players of the Church of the Gods and the abyssal demons and demons appearing through the Abyss Channel.

Yet, because it was a newly born underground city, various treasures could erge at any mont.

This also attracted many treasure-seeking players to adventure here.

[Geisla] was one of them.

Currently dressed in rags, with nothing but a gray single outfit, a backpack, and a miner’s shovel.

Since he entered this underground city alone, he could encounter abyssal demons at any mont.

Though the abyssal demons appearing here weren’t strong, they generally appeared in groups.

Even with full equipnt, there would be no chance of resistance against the beasts, so it was better to bring nothing and rely on luck to survive.

The dim underground city corridor was filled with a mix of decay and dampness, the glow from the bioluminescent moss on the walls casting irregular reflections around.

Geisla held the heavy shovel tightly, its tal part gleaming coldly in the weak light.

He tried to lighten his footsteps as if walking on thin ice, being extrely cautious not to make even the slightest unnecessary sound.

He slightly hunched his back, one hand tracing the rough and moss-covered wall of the underground city as he slowly retreated.

His eyes were fixed intently on the passage ahead, not daring to breathe loudly.

Because, just there, three hyena-like abyssal demons could be faintly seen moving.

These beasts, agile yet exuding an imposing savageness, had disheveled and darkened fur, seemingly coated with a thick layer of gri, with each strand emitting an evil aura.

Their eyes glead with eerie red light, like burning flas, standing out strikingly in the darkness.

Geisla’s heart raced, each beat like a war drum sounding in his ears.

So thrilling!

Though not fearing death, having made it to the depths of the underground city, he didn’t want to die easily here.

He hadn’t found anything worthwhile yet!
