I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Oh no!

Lis looked at the challenge quest information that popped up on his system panel with some surprise.

He hadn't expected a challenge quest, which had been quiet for a while, to be triggered by Uer.

"Then I need to take this seriously," he said.

Lis suddenly hurled his longsword to his right.

Clang!

The longsword flew through the air and was about to hit the wall when it was suddenly knocked away.

The figure of Uer appeared, with a somewhat ugly look on his face.

How does he know my position, how can a silver-level warrior have such perception!

It seemed that Lis's use of the longsword made Uer think that he was a practitioner of the warrior profession.

Lis didn't pay attention to Uer's surprise and leisurely took a magic wand out of his space ring.

I feel like I'm getting better at throwing my longsword recently, should I learn a throwing specialty in the future?

Uer looked on in shock as Lis produced a magic wand.

What is he doing?

Lis got serious; completing the task was the most important thing.

The magic light began to flicker on the jade wand in his hand, and Lis started to wrap himself in various beneficial magic and protection spells.

Four Rings Magic "Stone Skin Skill", "Advanced Protective Field", "Strong Deflection Field"!

Five-Ring Magic "Detect Enhancement", "Advanced Weapon Resistance"!

Sixth Circle Magic "Copper Wall Iron Wall"!

Uer was no fool; he naturally wouldn't just wait for Lis to finish preparing for battle.

With a flicker of his figure, Uer instantly appeared behind Lis, the dagger in his hand glowing with a deep gray light.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Assassin combat technique "Deceit"!

This skill allowed Uer to continue using skills that required a stealth state for a short time after coming out of stealth.

Assassin combat technique "Shadow Strike"!

Uer chose to use "Shadow Strike" to pass through the shadows, come directly behind Lis, and launch an attack.

As a silver-level assassin, he could use the power of the shadows to utilize a few select skills, and "Shadow Strike" was particularly practical.

Uer knew that it was fatal to create distance from a mage at this time.

He had to resolve the fight quickly inside the room because if Lis got outside, it would be difficult for him to get close to Lis again.

As for why Lis could use spells, Uer no longer cared, or rather, he had no time to think about this issue.

Lis naturally noticed Uer's actions.

His affinity with the shadow plane was even higher than Uer, a silver-level assassin, and he naturally sensed the fluctuation of the shadow power behind him.

But he did not turn around.

In fact, just as he had anticipated, Uer's dagger directed at Lis did not succeed as he wished, but rather got stuck in thin air, unable to advance an inch.

The effects of several protection magic spells resulted in Uer's attempt ending in failure, with him not even breaking a layer of the magic defense.

Uer, missing with his strike, blinked away from Lis once more.

His expression was very serious and gloomy, and he was clearly aware that his attack was not held back like the first time he struck, yet the outcome caught him off guard.

After all, he knew nothing of Lis's true strength, but Lis was well aware of Uer's methods.

Now that the battle had started, Lis didn't continue to waste words with Uer.

"Blue Ball Skill"!

A human-head-sized pale blue fireball formed in front of Lis and shot toward Uer.

Before the fireball could get close, Uer already felt its scorching heat and, not daring to take it lightly, quickly dodged to the side.

However, to his surprise, the pale blue fireball unexpectedly burst in mid-air, turning into countless streams of fire that shot towards where Uer had evaded.

With so many scattered blue streams of fire, even though Uer tried his best to evade, a small clump still hit his left forearm.

This was a direction of study that Lis had been pursuing recently, and it was also a training method taught by "Judgement Flame."

He wanted to strengthen his control over the casting of spells and had been experimenting with the "Blue Ball Skill."

Merely controlling the direction of attack after casting a spell was not enough; Lis's idea was to maintain control over the status of the spell even after its release.

Just like the "Blue Ball Skill" which had just disintegrated in mid-air, this time Lis did not use the arcane "Catastrophic Explosion"; instead, he made the Blue Ball Skill disintegrate by reliance on his extraordinary elemental control power, transforming it into countless balls of fire to attack the enemy.

Lis could now even control the direction of some of the streams of fire produced by the partial disintegration of his spells.

To be honest, this method of attack, aside from being unexpected, was not that much better than the more direct "Fire Meteor," but it certainly enhanced Lis's control power considerably.

Feeling the scorching heat on his forearm, Uer did not hesitate, as his right hand flashed with a dagger, quickly cutting off the chunk of flesh that bore the blue flame, which fell to the ground and turned into ashes.

He realized that this blue flame was not something that could be easily dealt with, so he chose the most direct way of handling it.

Lis's expression remained unchanged as Magic Light gathered once more on the Jade Wand.

Five-Ring Spell System "Frozen Mist Skill"!

With the casting of "Frozen Mist Skill," white mist gradually rose in the room, seeming to freeze everything in the chilling cold.

But Lis found that the effect of "Frozen Mist Skill" wasn't very good; it didn't seem to significantly affect Uer's actions, as he continued to roam around Lis, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, Lis recalled something and grinned as he realized.

Uer was from the northern Dillon Kingdom, certainly accustomed to the cold climate; the "Frozen Mist Skill" would not affect him in such a short time.

In that case...

Five-Ring Shaping Energy Magic "Power Wall Skill"!

Five Rings Confusion Control Magic "Weakness Technique"!

A transparent and illusory wall suddenly appeared in front of Uer, and though his eyes did not detect anything unusual, his keen perception had already warned him of danger ahead, prompting him to immediately halt his movement.

At that moment, a white Magic Light swiftly struck Uer's body.

Uer couldn't react in time and quickly moved away from Lis.

Afterward, he felt strangely, there were no wounds on his body.

Could I have been mistaken?

Uer felt puzzled and even felt around his body above and below where he stood.

As he looked up, his mind suddenly went blank.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing here?

While Uer was deeply pondering these existential questions, a shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Duang~

Lis held a human-head-sized Vajra Hammer, looking at Uer who had fainted on the ground.

With strength boosted by Attribute modifications and the Vajra Hammer, Uer had no chance to resist and passed out.

Lis kicked the lying Uer, reflecting:

"The effect of Confusion Control Magic is this good?"

"'Nether River's Blessing' is really useful. Thanks to Samus bro for the selfless support!"
