I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 340: 298: The Island in the Mirage

Chapter 340: Chapter 298: The Island in the Mirage

The white light produced by the [Group Human Immobilization Spell] spread out from the wand in Lis’s hand, enveloping the entire [rmaid].

Apart from Lis, a special white light appeared on everyone else, as they all beca as still as wooden figures, frozen in place.

The ordinary sailors, of course, need not be ntioned, for they were naturally powerless against the Siren’s song and were slowly moving their feet in the direction from which the song emanated.

Even after being controlled by the immobilization spell, their faces twisted in a grimace, struggling to break free of the control and continue forward.

It was as if sothing incredibly tempting lay ahead of them.

Crew mbers and rcenaries of Silver Level strength could not be immune to the effects of Lis’s spell either. However, since they did not need to spend ntal effort to control their bodies, they could focus entirely on resisting the Siren’s song.

...

Among those present, aside from Lis, only the rcenary Evar from the Boditch Kingdom seed unaffected by the Siren’s song.

He too was immobilized at the bow of the ship, but with his vast experience, he imdiately realized that this was not an enemy’s spell effect, but rather, ant to prevent the crew from being lured by the Siren into jumping overboard.

Therefore, he did not resist at all, but instead gave Lis a aningful look with his eyes.

Lis nodded at him, then cast [Flying Technique] on himself and flew towards the direction of the song.

The Siren’s song was equivalent to a wide-ranging control skill. It was aningless for Lis to help individuals break free of control alone.

Lis had not learned any priest’s skills, lacking the ability to purge control and enhance comrades’ Spirit Resistance on a grand scale.

Truth be told, when Lis was alone, he hadn’t felt it was necessary. But now he thought about it, the priest’s skills were indeed quite practical.

Lis still decided to resolve this ergency first; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to steer the [rmaid] by himself.

Sirens were a particularly special class of Extraordinary Creatures that lived only in the sea, luring passing creatures with their song as heavenly as the muses’, to beco their al.

They were one of the less desired encounters by ships and sailors.

Because their song naturally carried a Charm, and could spread far and wide, appearing quite suddenly.

If one wasn’t prepared in advance and failed the ntal check, the death of the sailors could be declared.

Sirens were also known as sea witches or fem fatales.

They were Transcendent Creatures with human faces and either bird bodies or half-fish bodies. Unlike harpies, Sirens had delicate and beautiful appearances and graceful figures that conford more to human aesthetics.

Although their thods were more insidiously lethal.

But Sirens did have a weakness, which was that aside from their song, they had no other special extraordinary abilities.

As long as one could resist their song, against an opponent of the sa level, they were fish on the chopping board.

Lis didn’t have to fly far before he found his target.

On a reef not far from the shore, lay several gorgeous-looking girls.

If not for their bodies being the form of a fish from the belly downward, their lovely visage might lead anyone who saw them to think they were noble girls in distress.

Their wet, light blue hair lay draped in front of them, and besides that, not a single thing obscured them, “generously” displaying their allure.

As they sang, they also noticed Lis’s figure in the sky.

But they didn’t show a hint of fear, instead they looked up at Lis with surprise and delight.

Reaching their hands towards the sky, the Charm contained in their song grew much stronger.

Even though Lis had passed the consciousness check and was immune to the [Charm] effect, listening to the Siren’s song from so close still made his head a bit groggy for the first ti in a while.

“Such a generous hospitality, but I’m pressed for ti!”

Lis said sowhat helplessly to the few “beautiful girls” below him staring at him.

To be honest, he found the Siren’s song rather interesting.

The Sirens before him were just a bit above Silver Level in strength, but when they sang in chorus, the charm in their voices was integrally boosted, reaching the power of LV67.

If hundreds of Sirens sang together, he wondered what the effect would be like.

If Lis possessed the Floating City now, he might consider capturing a few for research.

In Mr. Stephens’s Mage Tower was a Half-plane connected to it, which was the teacher’s territory and ho to many precious species that the teacher had captured for research.

Even a pair of Red Dragons…

Seemingly realizing their song had no effect, panic finally flashed across the Sirens’ faces, and they ceased their singing, plunging like fish into the water, ready to flee.

“Hey, why the rush?”

A deep blue light flashed on the Jade Wand Lis held in his hand.

Six-Circle Arcane [Thunder Domain]!

Nurous thick bolts of thunder were called down from mid-air straight into the sea, and the blue-white lightning spread rapidly through the water.

The speed of the lightning far surpassed that of the Sirens!

Countless stunned and bewildered fish surfaced from the depths, drifting with the waves.

Soon after, the fleeing Sirens also floated up, eyes rolled back, though it seed they were only temporarily stunned.

After all, the power of the Sixth Circle arcane spell had been greatly dispersed by the vast sea, and what was left was not enough to kill the Sirens outright.

Lis descended, manipulating the Water Elent to freeze the largest of the Sirens solid and stored her in the Space Ring.

Without hesitation, Lis drew his sword and dispatched the remaining Sirens.
