I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 917 - 556: Illusion Town in the Desert?

Ambundo City, the road leading south outside the city,

Lis and Taya each sat on a camel, looking back at the magnificent Holy City that was gradually disappearing at the horizon's end.

As they moved further away from Ambundo City, the travelers and caravans on the road gradually decreased.

After Taya woke up, Lis and Taya stayed in Ambundo City for a while longer.

During this time, Taya accepted the inheritance of the War God Church and changed her profession to become a Slaughter Knight.

This strength originating from War God Caris was quite suitable for Taya.

Taya's previous main profession was also remarkable, considered one of the top professions in the Feis Kingdom.

But still, the Slaughter Knight suited Taya more.

Moreover, after receiving the inheritance from the War God Church, Taya's strength greatly increased.

Taya was quite close to breaking through to the realm of Legend.

At any moment, Taya might achieve a breakthrough and accomplish legendary feats.

"By the way, is Lord Avin still following behind us?"

Lis pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to Taya beside him.

"Maybe?"

Taya thought for a moment and said uncertainly.

"Well, it doesn't really affect us."

Lis thought for a moment and said to Taya with a smile.

They continued heading south toward the Western Desert.

The location of the Azus Temple is on the Regi Peninsula near the coastal area to the south.

However, although it is a peninsula, the Regi Peninsula is quite vast.

The location of the Azus Temple is deep inside the Regi Peninsula, far from the bustling port cities along the coast.

Lis and Taya could teleport there using Space Transmission quickly, but Lis was not in a hurry and decided to give up that idea after consideration.

Now is a crucial time for Taya, and perhaps a sudden insight during the journey could help her bridge that last gap with Legend.

The timing isn't urgent, so Lis naturally adapted to Taya's situation.

Moreover...

Having his girlfriend break through to become a Legendary Strongman, just imagining it was thrilling enough.

Taya didn't think too much about it.

She simply felt that any extra time spent with Lis was precious, as for breaking through to Legend?

That could be left aside for now, it was a matter of time.

Although the journey through the desert is monotonous and dull, Lis and Taya didn't show the slightest impatience.

...

After more than ten days,

Even though they weren't hurrying along the way, Lis and Taya crossed the vast desert and came close to the location of the Regi Peninsula.

Though the surrounding area was still a golden desert, it was no longer as desolate as the central parts.

In this seemingly monotonous scene, clusters of tenacious shrubs occasionally appeared like miracles of life, their leaves were not lush, yet they stood proudly in this arid land, adding a touch of vitality to the desolate desert.

Similarly, small animals living in the desert often appeared in front of Lis and Taya.

Some were dainty desert mice or agile lizards; Lis even spotted a few desert owls curiously watching them.

This leg of the journey was smooth, without encountering attacks from Extraordinary Magical Beasts like sand worm swarms, nor finding traces of desert bandits.

That's more like it!

It turned out it wasn't his fault before, it was due to the Blais' Caravan.

"The next oasis is quite a distance, probably won't reach it until tomorrow."

Sitting on the camel, Lis spread out the map in his hand, confirmed it, and said.

"Oh～"

Taya nodded beside him, without a hint of regret in her eyes.

To her, resting in the oasis or camping in the desert made little difference.

With the strength of Lis and Taya, although they couldn't dominate the Western Desert, as long as they avoided those perilous places and didn't provoke legendary beings, almost nothing could threaten them.

Moreover, Lis was a Golden Mage, by using Cold Ice Magic to adjust the temperature around them, even in the hot desert, it was as cool as the autumn in the Feis Kingdom.

"Lis, look, what is that?"

Crossing a sand dune, Taya suddenly pointed westward and said to Lis.

Lis looked towards where Taya was pointing. Although it was extremely far, with their extraordinary vision, they could still see it clearly.

It was a gray county town within a desert oasis.

"Doesn't seem to be marked on the map?"

Lis glanced at the map in his hand and said, a bit puzzled.

"Could it be a newly appeared oasis?"

Taya said uncertainly.

"Probably not."

Lis shook his head and put away the map.

"That little town doesn't look newly established; it's been around for some time."

"Could be an oversight?"

That's quite normal; although the map in Lis's hand was bought in Ambundo City, and was considered rather complete, omissions could still happen.

It wasn't anything special.

"Let's go and have a look at that little town."

Lis said to Taya with a smile.

Whenever they encountered an oasis during their travels in the desert, they would take a stroll through it.

Because every oasis in the desert is like an island in the ocean, each with its unique style.

This was quite an enjoyable experience for them, bringing a splash of color to the monotonous journey.

The two of them slowly made their way toward the distant oasis, and after two hours, the oasis was not far from them.
