I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 979 - 586: Declaration of Sovereignty_2

Just as she was about to say something, Lis suddenly spoke:

"Are you done with your preparations?"

"Then it's my turn."

Lis looked at the people in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.

As soon as the words fell, an extremely terrifying Magic Power erupted from Lis, spreading around like a tangible wind.

When this raging Magic Power touched the various Magic Arrays around Lis, it suddenly changed form, permeating and intruding into the Magic Arrays.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack~

In the shocked expressions of Delia and others, numerous Magic Arrays in mid-air emitted a sharp shattering sound, dissolved completely by the Magic Power released by Lis.

The guards standing in front of Delia's faces changed drastically; they did not expect the Royal Palace's most reliable Magic Restriction to be so vulnerable before Lis.

"Protect Her Majesty Delia."

The Guard Commander roared and flashed to stand in front of Delia.

This terrifying Magic Power, he had never heard of before.

Is this really power a Human can wield?

He had no time to regret the previous taunt towards Lis, standing in front of Delia trying to block Lis's attack.

As he just steadied himself, ready to lift the Longsword in his hand, he suddenly felt an unstoppable giant force coming from the right side of his abdomen.

Boom!

The Guard Commander's figure shot out faster than before, crashing into a side wall.

The extremely Solid wall shattered, fragments scattered over his body, and the Guard Commander was already bloody, bowing his head uncertain of life or death.

Indeed, being a villain occasionally is quite exhilarating.

Lis lowered his right leg, then pointed forward with his left hand.

High-level Spell [Group Human Immobilization Spell]!

The guards beside Delia instinctively wanted to attack Lis but trembled all over and instantly froze in place.

And Delia, similarly locked by Lis's Spell, flashed with magical light, released from the immobilized Status.

What terrifying Magic Power, what fast casting speed!

Delia was shocked inside, hurriedly retreating.

How is it possible?!!

Wandless casting, Spellcasting Without Incantation, fast casting!

The key is the spell cast wasn't some Low-level Fireball Technique, but a High-level Spell like Group Human Immobilization Spell.

An expert shows skill with a single move.

Delia knew the value of Lis's skill, and at this moment, there was no thought of resistance in her heart, only wanting to turn and leave.

As long as she leaves here, with the King's years of resources, she still has a chance.

Lis looked at the frightened Delia, reaching out his right hand to her.

In an instant, he grabbed Delia's shoulder, controlling her body.

Magic Power surged into Delia's body from the shoulder, instantly locking her body, rendering her unable to use any Spells.

Delia struggled hard, wanting to break Lis's control.

But Lis's right hand was like a steel cage, firmly suppressing Delia's body.

After futile efforts, Delia finally gave up struggling, looking at Lis:

"Who are you exactly, why are you so strong?"

Delia was very frustrated, she could confirm that the man before her was much stronger than the kingdom's strongest Duke Pa Ao.

She could be sure that if Duke Pa Ao appeared here, he couldn't possibly handle the Royal Palace's Magic Restriction and many guards.

Defeating the Royal Palace guards was understandable to Delia, but how did this person destroy those Magic Restrictions of the Royal Palace?

Before, as a Golden Mage, Delia couldn't do it at all and couldn't imagine how it could be done.

"I have already said who I am."

Lis shook his head, grabbed Delia's shoulder, then asked with a smile:

"I have some questions to ask you, answer honestly, and I might consider sparing you once."

Though Delia found these words familiar, she nodded slightly without resisting.

Man is the knife, I am the fish, Delia was aware of this fact.

"In this small world, is there a Transcendent Army with more than a thousand members?"

Transcendent Army?

When Delia heard this, she instinctively thought of Duke Pa Ao's Transcendent Army Fierce Bear stationed in the Southern Border Gate Area.

This Transcendent Army is Duke Pa Ao's strongest force, also the kingdom's greatest threat now.

The kingdom also has a Transcendent Army named Forest Deer, but currently only two hundred are still in the Royal Capital, others have been stationed in the south, confronting the Fierce Bear Army.

"Yes, in the kingdom's south, Duke Pa Ao's Fierce Bear Army is composed entirely of Transcendents."

"Only this one?"

Lis looked at Delia, the corner of his mouth slightly curved.

"Those people just said, you are His Majesty the King of this kingdom."

"A Duke has a Transcendent Army, doesn't the kingdom have one?"

Lis actually didn't care which army completed the task, but this small world he was determined to obtain.

After all, from the information he observed now, the development of this small world under such isolation is quite good.

This indicates there must be something special about the small world, enough to support this so-called Cardiff Kingdom to be self-sufficient.

A small world with special resources, now that is a different significance!

The small world and outside are different, as long as external protection is well done, this place becomes a private backyard for one's force.

Though not someone who kills indiscriminately, Lis wouldn't leave any hidden dangers in his backyard.

To quickly grasp a small world, Lis naturally needs cooperation from the natives.

This is the most efficient way.

And the native's force itself mattered little to Lis, anyway weaker than him.

For better control of this small world, a better collaborator is the one with not much ambition.

After all, Lis didn't want to leave any instability in the backyard.

And now, at least from Lis's perspective, the Delia before him, though King of this kingdom, doesn't have much of a regal demeanor, more like a genteel Mage scholar.

Collaborating with such a person fits Lis's needs.

Most importantly, Lis knew what was the most tempting transaction condition for such a person.

Lis grabbed Delia's shoulder with his right hand, a ripple of Space flashed through, the two disappeared from the basement, leaving still immobilized guards.

...

Capital City of Dias,

Lis and Delia's figures appeared in the high sky above the capital, overlooking the vast and bustling city below.

Just as Delia wondered why they appeared here, Lis took out a silver Magic Wand, pointing lightly at the sky.

In an instant, a huge Magic Array like a dome engulfed the city, terrifying Magic Power roiled within, the sky was thick with clouds, and Thunder flickered among them.

The giant Magic Array was like a Mysterious giant net, closely covering the entire city, flowing with splendid yet terrifying Magic Power, like thousands of stars violently dance in the night sky.

Magic Power surged like an Ocean, wave after wave of frantic tumult, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The sky was shrouded in thick clouds, as if night fell prematurely, the clouds flashing with ominous lights. Thick bolts of Thunder flickered within the clouds, like angry giant dragons roaming among them, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, with deafening roars, shocking every trembling soul in the city.

The whole city, under the influence of this Magic Array, seemed to be dragged into a giant vortex, nowhere to escape.

People in the Royal Capital looked up, only to see that the Magic Array emitted dazzling and strange lights, interplaying with clouds and lightning, forming a picture both spectacular and fear-provoking.

Seven-Circle Magic [Limited Prayer Technique]!

Nine Ring Arcane [Destruction Thunder Domain]!

"This..."

Delia beside Lis was deeply shaken by this scene akin to a natural disaster, a despairing Fear sprouting within.

She had no doubt, if Lis wanted, he could single-handedly destroy this most prosperous city of the entire kingdom.

Could he be a Legend?
