I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Outside the Kane Floating City,

seeing Lis's figure suddenly disappear, Steven instinctively spread his spiritual power, searching for Lis's trace.

But to his surprise, Lis's aura vanished completely without leaving a trace.

Strange?

Steven frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

How is it possible, not even a hint of aura can be sensed.

The opponent's form cannot be observed with the naked eye, likely due to using a spell like "Invisibility Technique".

In the eyes of other Extraordinary Professionals, a mage's invisibility can achieve effects similar to a thief's stealth, but it's not as practical in front of mages.

Especially in front of higher-level mages, the magical power fluctuations caused by the Invisibility Technique are hard to conceal.

However, now Steven did not detect any magic power fluctuations.

Could it be that the huge magic source of the Floating City is interfering with my senses?

Steven thought with some uncertainty; everything that just happened exceeded his expectations.

He had a premonition that it might not be possible to achieve his goal this time.

Even if he could defeat Lis, with the well-operating Floating City present, he couldn't force Lis to agree to his terms.

Steven was still reluctant to abandon the opportunity to gain usage rights to the Floating City before him, so he prepared to attempt offering higher terms to negotiate with Lis after defeating him.

But for some reason, Steven felt an inexplicable unease.

As if something bad was about to happen.

Steven frowned slightly, more resilient magic shields appeared around his body.

After making preparations, Steven felt a bit more at ease.

At that moment, Lis's figure abruptly appeared behind him; numerous dark cyan giant Wind Blades appeared around Lis's body, crashing towards Steven.

The moment the Wind Element was mobilized by Lis, Steven noticed Lis's presence.

When did he appear there?

Space transfer?

But I didn't sense any space fluctuation, did I?

However, Steven could no longer afford to think slowly as countless Wind Blades crashed like a tide against the shield he released.

Countless Magic Lights flashed continuously, various high-level Magic Shields shattered under Lis's attacks, while more new Magic Shields appeared in front of Steven.

Steven felt some pressure, but it was just that.

The level of attack from Lis, though not quite like someone who just broke through to Legend not long ago, was not enough to pose a threat to someone who had been a Legendary Mage for many years.

Thus, after catching his breath, Steven also launched a counterattack against Lis.

Steven excelled in Fire Magic and Earth Magic; countless Fire Meteors fell from the sky, carrying terrifying kinetic energy towards Lis, filling the air with the scent of sulfur.

Like Steven, Lis also deployed countless Magic Shields to resist the Fire Meteors cast by Steven.

However, it was quite noticeable that Lis replenished his Magic Shields faster than Steven.

This meant Lis needed to consume more magic power to counter Steven's spells.

In this Legendary Level battle, Lis was still somewhat behind Steven.

This was due to the wisdom and strength Steven gained over a long time after achieving Legend.

This is the wisdom and knowledge pursued by mages,

which is why the older a mage gets, the stronger they become.

As the spell combat continued for a while, with the passage of time, the situation became more unfavorable to Lis.

However, Lis's expression remained unchanged, even showing a sense of leisure.

In a pure contest of mage strength, he was indeed not yet Steven's match.

This was something he had long understood, so he was not impatient.

No matter what, he had just broken through to Legend not long ago, wanting to surpass Steven directly was not realistic yet.

However, precise combat was not Lis's forte; the reason for engaging Steven in this form of a war of attrition was due to his own considerations.

After all, an opponent like Steven was truly rare.

Unlike Storm Fury, which was weaker than Lis and couldn't bring out Lis's true strength.

Unlike Storm Fury, Steven, from any perspective, was a considerably mature, powerful Legendary Mage.

With such an opponent, it was just right for Lis to familiarize himself with Legendary Rank strength, allowing him to exert fully and quickly become acquainted with his power.

Moreover, it also allowed Lis to probe Steven's strength.

As the battle gradually intensified to a fever pitch, Danerluo Port, not far from the battlefield, also noticed the anomaly here.

The Fire Meteors falling from the sky and the surging violent winds, resembling scenes of natural disasters, startled many people greatly.

However, more people were approaching the battlefield.

Especially those Golden Rank Extraordinary professionals, whose faces were full of fanaticism.

Anyone slightly familiar with the situation knew this was undoubtedly a battle between Legends, a scenario they couldn't possibly miss.

Meanwhile, Lis also sensed Uncle Joyce and Fierce Arrow Rosde's approach.

Rosde had returned from the Elf Royal City once before bringing new aid supplies back to Danerluo Port.

And judging by the look of it, Rosde seemed to plan on stationing long-term at Danerluo Port.

Lis didn't pay much attention; although the Elf Station of Nature's Wrath was proceeding with its construction as planned, Lis had little energy to focus on related matters in the short term.
