I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 35: 34: Dog-headed Man!

Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Dog-headed Man!

Lis gently jumped down from the carriage and stood in front of it.

Those two dog-headed n, clad in unnad red leather, didn’t seem to sense the danger, still naively charging with their makeshift spears crafted from branches and stones.

Ya’er and her teammates watched as Lis prepared to make a move, directing their gaze towards him.

They didn’t doubt Lis’s ability to handle the two dog-headed n; they were simply curious to see how Lis would perform against demons for the first ti.

Although dog-headed n pose a significant threat to ordinary people, that’s mainly because they tend to move in groups. If outnumbered, they generally choose to flee.

Cases where two isolated dog-headed n dare to charge are indeed rare.

...

Lis himself seed relaxed and at ease. He didn’t even take out his Jade Wand, just raised his right hand and cast a spell without it.

“Flash Technique!”

Lis intentionally heightened his Magic Power output, and a blinding light flashed before the dog-headed n.

Living in dim environnts for long periods had accustod their eyes to darkness, so even a Zero Level Magic like the Flash Technique could effectively blind them.

“Wah! Ya!”

The two dog-headed n were blinded by Lis’s Flash Technique, panicked and running around chaotically while howling incoherently.

Apparently, only the higher-ranking priests and magicians among the dog-headed n could speak the common tongue and so Draconic, while most communicated through their calls alone.

“Fireball Technique!”

With a flick of his finger, Lis sent two Fireball Techniques, hitting both ugly dog-headed n precisely; they instantly fell silent and turned to ashes in the blaze.

[You caused fatal damage to the target using the Fireball Technique!]

[You have killed two Dog-headed n (Ordinary) LV10!]

[You have gained 200 Experience Points]

These dog-headed n really give such low Experience! Lis complained.

It couldn’t be helped; after all, dog-headed n were too weak. A tusked wild boar could take on five ordinary ones single-handedly.

Arsen raised an eyebrow. The Flash Technique was nothing special, but it took an experienced mage with seasoned expertise to use it against low-level dog-headed n.

And there was sothing unusual about Lis’s Fireball Technique; why did it seem much stronger than the ones he had seen before?

Seeing Lis walking towards the thicket where the dog-headed n had erged, Arsen quickly asked,

“Lis, where are you going?”

“Dog-headed n usually move in clan groups. I’m going to see if their den is here.”

“I’ll co with you. Ya’er, you and the others guard the carriage.”

“I want to go too!” Ya’er, who was bored from sitting in the carriage all day, naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Alright then,” Arsen conceded sowhat reluctantly, but he figured there shouldn’t be any problems with Ailina and Lunbos watching the carriage.

The three of them followed the path left by the dog-headed n deep into the thicket. The signs they left were quite clear; even without the Hunter profession, the trio quickly located the den based on experience alone.

It was at the bottom of a rocky hillock, with a clearly excavated cave leading into the hillside, guarded by two dog-headed man sentries at the entrance.

“What do you think?” Out of politeness, Lis asked Arsen before taking action.

“There’s nothing much to say, just charge straight in, these Dog-headed n pose no threat to us.”

Arsen said offhandedly and then seed to rember sothing important. He quickly reminded Lis:

“Lis, rember not to use Earth Magic after entering the cave.”

“I know.”

Lis certainly knew why, in his past life’s ga, there had been a Mage who, for so reason, had a ntal short circuit and used the Earthquake Skill while exploring the Underground City, which caused the entire area of the city to collapse, resulting in the whole team’s death underground.

This miraculous blunder was rated as one of the classic textbook examples of what not to do as a Mage on the player forums.

That being said, Lis didn’t think he had to cast any harmful spells; his teammates were simply too powerful.

Lis only had ti to cast Shield Skill on Ya’er and Arsen before the two charged out. The two guards at the entrance of the cave hadn’t even realized what was happening before their heads literally flew off.

Ya’er and Arsen charged directly into the cave, and with a shake of his head, Lis followed them in.

When your teammates are too strong and make you look useless, what do you do?

Your only option is to buff yourself with Shield Skill, Elental Shield, and Protection Arrow to enhance your sense of participation.

Walking into the cave of the Dog-headed n, it’s worth noting that, though they are typically only one ter tall, the cave itself is quite spacious. At least, Lis could walk in upright without worrying about bumping his head.

The Dog-headed n, as natural miners, were remarkably skilled at digging caves, and Lis even noticed that they had set up ventilation shafts and support columns at intervals, proving their reliability.

No wonder giant dragons liked to gather a bunch of Dog-headed n as their favored, having them mine precious ores and gemstones was indeed a smart move.

This was also the reason why Lis wanted to explore the Dog-headed n’s caves. In his past life, almost every discovered Dog-headed n’s nest contained so rare ores, and with extre luck, one might even find a Magic Gem.

As a result, many players tirelessly explored the caves of the Dog-headed n as if they were opening a blind box.

Ya’er and Arsen had already disappeared from sight, not really concerned with the potential precious ores inside the Dog-headed n’s cave. Their sole purpose was to eliminate the threat, as Dog-headed n were not much of a problem for them, but they could still pose a significant threat to ordinary people passing by, especially since the cave was so close to the main road.

Lis quickened his pace and headed deeper into the cave, occasionally seeing one or two slain Dog-headed n lying on either side of the corridor.

His panel was constantly popping up with teammate kill information, and he was also sharing in so Experience Points. It was better than nothing.

Gauging the length of the cave’s corridor to be over a hundred ters, he soon arrived at the end of the cave.

The end was a relatively open area where the Dog-headed n had dug upwards by five or six ters, creating a huge space, with additional caves excavated on both walls, where the Dog-headed n usually rested.

“Lis, co here quickly and see, there’s a Magician in this Dog-headed Man’s nest.”

Ya’er cheerfully waved at Lis, calling him over to see her new discovery.

Lis walked over to Ya’er. This cave was directly opposite the tunnel entrance, and the caves on the walls were noticeably larger than the others.

At Ya’er’s feet lay a slain Dog-headed Man who was obviously different from the others, clad in more complete animal skin clothing, with a primitive Magic Wand made of bone and wood lying beside it.

“You’ve already killed him, what’s left for to see?” Lis said with a touch of resignation.

“Ah, I forgot. When I saw the light coming from his wand, I just unconsciously chopped him down.”

Ya’er felt a bit embarrassed, as it was her first ti encountering a Dog-headed Man Magician, and she hadn’t been able to hold back in the mont.

“It’s fine, after all, it’s not like there’s much to be said to these creatures.”

Lis waved it off. Even if the Dog-headed Man Magician might have spoken the common tongue, he didn’t see any point in communicating with these beings; he didn’t need Dog-headed n to mine for him.
