I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Part of the Prince of the Abyss’ plan?

 The edge of the Elf Forest,

Li Si knocked away the short blade that came from behind and looked at the shadow of the forest opposite.

 Has it really come?

Li Si was a little curious. He didn’t find anything unusual along the way, and he didn’t feel any signs of others following them.

Then how did the other party find him and Cecile?

The people who attacked Cecil could not be members of the Elf Slave Hunting Group.

The sneak attack Li Si took just now was obviously a full-strength attack by a gold-level assassin. If it were an elf slave-catching group, they would definitely have spared it.

  After all, their purpose is to capture elves and use them as slaves to sell them for profit.

 Dead elves mean nothing to them.

Cecile saw Lisi suddenly appear in front of her and attack. She was a little at a loss for a moment, but she also realized that they were being attacked.

Hurryly taking out the staff, Cecile looked around nervously.

Li Si has already felt that someone is approaching quietly in the dark, sneaking in the shadow of the forest and slowly approaching him and Cecile.

At this moment, there was a sense of chilling in the air in the forest, as if even the wind was holding its breath, waiting for a duel and fight that was about to break out.

“come out!”

Li Si gave a fierce shout, turned the long sword in his hand, cut through the air and stabbed towards the shadow in the forest on the right.

Just when the long sword was about to fall on the ground, the seemingly normal shadow suddenly twisted under the sunlight that fell through the tree canopy, and a figure wrapped in the power of dark gray shadow appeared. shape.

 This is the gold-level assassin hiding in the shadows!

The assassin Sink, who was preparing to continue attacking Cecil secretly, looked at Li Si in surprise. He did not expect that a gold-level warrior could discover his location so quickly.

You should know that he did not choose to approach Lisi directly, but planned to bypass and attack Cecil directly.

Not only did he use the power of shadow to cover up all his aura, but he also contained his murderous intent very well.

 Normally speaking, as long as there is no hostility towards these high-level warriors, the golden warrior’s combat intuition will not be triggered.

 But things did not develop as he expected.

Most importantly, the aura exuded by the young man in front of him made him a little afraid. He did not dare to face Li Si’s sword directly, so he could only retreat continuously.

Li Si didn’t pay attention and stepped forward directly to continue to force the gold-level assassin’s position.

After all, for him, he is also familiar with the power of shadow used by the opponent. In a sense, Li Si’s ability is even stronger than that of the opponent’s gold-level assassin.

 So as long as the opponent uses the power of shadow, in Li Si’s eyes, it is like a bright light in the dark night.

 In this case, the gold-level assassin’s strongest ability has almost no effect, and is even the opponent’s biggest flaw.

 But Xinke didn’t know this. When facing Li Si’s attack, he moved the caravan continuously, preparing to find an opportunity to re-enter the stealth state.

His goal in this mission is to kill the elf Cecil. Although it is not in line with the standards of an assassin to not leave quickly if the sneak attack fails, Zink does not intend to retreat just yet.

This is a task assigned to him by his master, and he does not want to report back in despair.

Although the young man in front of him was very strong, as an assassin, Xinke thought that there would be no problem in escaping from the gold-level warrior.

Li Si was naturally not in a hurry. Although the battle with this gold-level assassin was fierce on the surface, he actually did not use all his strength.

Although the gold-level assassin in front of him is not bad, it is nothing to Li Si.

It’s about the same level as the gold-level hunter he killed two days ago, and it can be said that he was defeated by Li Siwan now.

Most importantly, Li Si was curious about the origin of the gold-level assassin in front of him.

You must know that it is obvious that the assassin in front of you is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but was ordered to assassinate Cecile.

 Regardless of the reason for assassinating Cecil, simply commanding a gold-level assassin is enough to show the power of the forces behind him.

If it weren’t for Li Si, even if Cecil also hired a gold-level mercenary, it would be difficult to protect Cecil during the first attack of the gold-level assassin.

 Even Cecil’s father, the [Wind Sword Master] Igrid Arce, could not easily mobilize a being of the same level.

This almost indicates that there is a special connection between the closure of the Elven Court, the Elise elder and the order for Cecil to go to the Kingdom of Bolin.

Li Si knew very well that the destruction of the Elven Court was related to the prince of the abyss, Demogorgon.

And if that person really existed, it would not be surprising to arrange for a gold-level assassin to deal with Cecil.

 After all, the abyss demon kings have never stopped intruding on the world of Gaia.

 There are also many people who cannot withstand the temptations of devils and demons and accept the power from the abyss and hell.

Although this gives them greater power, in fact the evil force is also polluting and changing the souls of those who are tempted, causing them to keep sliding towards the dark and evil side, with no way to turn back.

 Although they still look the same as before, they are actually no different from the Abyss Demons.

Even if they die, their souls will not enter the kingdom of gods or sleep forever in the underworld, but fall into the abyss and transform into new abyss demons.

Li Si looked at the assassin Xin Ke who was trying to dodge his attack in front of him with deep eyes.

If the gold-level assassin in front of him is really that kind of person and has accepted the power from the abyss, then Li Si can be sure that the prince of the abyss, Demogorgon, has already started to attack the Elf King’s Court.

More importantly, if this is the case, the actions of the Elise elder during this period, as well as the attack on Cecil, can be determined to be somehow related to the destruction of the Elven Court.

 Otherwise, the Elf Royal Court could just remain closed, so why would they allocate their strength to attack Cecil?

But why kill Cecile?

Li Si kicked Xinke away, but most of the force was removed by the gold-level assassin through his skills.

This is what Li Si couldn’t figure out. Why did those people kill Cecile?

  In other words, what is the connection between Cecil’s death and the destruction of the Elven Court?

Lees had noticed before that the reason why the Elise Elf elder asked Cecil to join him in the Kingdom of Bolin was because someone was secretly attacking him.

That means that similar things have happened before, and it was not just Cecil who was attacked, but also others.

 Because of Cecile’s father?

 But that Igri Arce should be in the Emerald City now, and it seems that he has little connection with the Elf Royal Court.

And this person has not yet broken through to the legendary level. Although the previous incident was very big and many people in the elves knew about it, it actually did not affect the safety of the Elf Royal Court.

What’s more, there are several legendary strong men currently stationed in the Elf King’s Court, but they all disappeared without a trace in the destruction of the Elf King’s Court.

 The current Igli should not be considered a special existence in the plan of the demon prince.

 If this is the case, it has something to do with Cecile herself.

Is Cecil’s specialness due to her Sun Elf blood?

Li Si frowned, thinking about two things.

From the assassin’s relentless attack on Cecile just now, it can be seen that the other party really wants to kill Cecile directly.

 In other words, letting Cecile die here is the purpose of the masterminds behind the scenes.

 Is it to get the blood of the sun elves?

Li Si had some guesses, but still had a lot of confusion.

 What is the use of getting Sun Elf blood?

You must know that in this world where extraordinary power exists, except for special beings like the dragon bloodline, in most cases the bloodline inheritance of special races is difficult to inherit and adapt to.

 Because the power of blood is in many cases inexplicably connected to the soul of the bloodline owner, if used forcefully, it will collapse into a bunch of irrational monsters.

 This is something that was studied and confirmed by those “broad-minded” arcanists in the era of the Magic Empire.

 Hence, the power of special blood is more often used in certain sacrifices, rituals, and some special magic props.

If it is connected with the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, is it a special ritual to obtain the blood of the Sun Elf?

Thinking of this, Li Si had a headache.

The useful information in his hand was still too little, not enough for him to pry into the truth of the Elf King’s Court.

The most important thing now is to confirm the identity of the assassin in front of him as soon as possible. The previous speculations were based on the fact that he was Demogorgon’s subordinate.

Li Si looked at Xinke in front of him, and the speed of the sword in his hand increased a bit.

He had no intention of capturing Xinke and searching for his soul. Although he found several spells of this type in the Dream Library of Azela Floating City, there was a high possibility that there were special restrictions in the other party’s soul.

If it were a restriction imposed by the demon prince, there would be a risk of facing Demogorgon if you ventured to explore it.

The destruction of the Elf King’s Court was extremely strange, which made Li Si couldn’t help but be more careful.

The battle here in the Elf Forest continues. The surrounding towering trees fell down one after another in the aftermath of the battle, with broken branches and leaves flying everywhere. The originally quiet forest now turned into a fierce battlefield, full of swords and swords.

Li Si’s figure shuttled quickly through the forest, the light of his sword flashed, and each sword strike left deep marks on the tree trunks. These sword marks are like the marks of war, recording the fierceness and cruelty of this battle.

But the assassin in black clothes could only run away in embarrassment, as embarrassed as a bereaved dog.

 The air was filled with smoke from destroyed and fallen trees, mixed with the smell of earth and grass.

With a cry of pain, Xin Ke covered his left forearm with a pale face, and the dripping scarlet gave the air a hint of blood.

Forcibly using his ability to dodge and retreat continuously, leaning against a big tree to avoid Li Si’s sight, Xinke could take a breath at this time.

 Something is wrong!

Zink gasped for breath. The battle just now made his spirit highly tense, and every time he felt like he was dancing on the tip of a knife.

If he was a little comfortable at first, but later he found that Li Si was putting more and more pressure on him.

 Not only the strength, but also the speed has been improved a lot.

 Does this person have the ability to continuously become stronger in battle, or has he been letting off steam before?

Thinking of this, Xinke couldn’t stand it any longer.

He was quite frustrated in the battle just now. No matter what ability he used, Li Si countered it. Skills such as sneaking, backstabbing, kidney attack and even shadow strike were all successfully countered by the opponent, and subsequent attacks even forced him to use a lot of life-saving skills.

Looking at the other person’s ease and ease, Zink couldn’t help but think of the situation when his mentor taught him assassin combat skills.

 Something is too outrageous!

Is the young man opposite really the Golden Warrior?

 Sink regretted not leaving directly just now. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation where a soldier controlled the entire battle situation.

 At this time, Sink already had the idea of ​​​​strategic retreat.

Although he really wanted to complete the task, he already understood the situation clearly.

 Under the protection of Li Si, he will definitely not be able to kill the elf this time.

But it doesn’t matter, he is an assassin after all, and it doesn’t matter if he suffers a loss.

 He did not believe that Li Si could protect the elf at all times.

 Thinking of this, Sink was ready to leave.

At this moment, he felt a sense of terror of death welling up in his heart, and all the hairs on his body stood up instantly.

Without enough time to react, Xin Ke subconsciously threw himself forward, ignoring the wet soil on the forest floor, and fell to the ground.

　　Boom!

A huge roar sounded, and the tremors of the forest trees spread around the Elf Forest like a circular wave, causing the wild beasts in the forest to flee in all directions.

Xinke, who was in the center, was blinded and looked behind him in a daze.

In the meantime, Li Si stood there holding a terrifying giant hammer, looking at him with a half-smile.

 But the big tree he originally relied on disappeared without a trace, leaving only the light brown tree stump on the ground and wooden debris flying in the air.

 Sinke suddenly woke up and quickly stood up and looked at Li Si warily.

He didn’t want to be hit like this, and he didn’t think his end would be better than that big tree.

Li Si did not continue the pursuit. He just noticed that Xinke seemed to have the idea of ​​​​escape, so he took action to scare him.

“Tell me, why did you attack us?”

Li Si played with the hammer in his hand and looked at Sink with a smile.

This hammer, which was a bit difficult to use when he broke through the gold level, is now quite easy to use.

 The shock brought by the high power attribute is always the most intuitive.

Sink looked at the giant hammer, almost one meter in diameter, that was jumping up and down in Li Si’s hand, and couldn’t help but swallowed.

 Where did this perversion come from?

Looking at the cold luster of the hammer, it was definitely not made of ordinary fine iron.

 How did I meet this kind of person?

 After hesitating for a moment, Sink said:

“Don’t get me wrong, I received the task of assassinating that elf from the Assassin’s Guild.”

“I didn’t expect that there would be a big shot like you to protect me. It was my fault this time, and I am willing to pay the price to express my apology.”

Hearing Xin Ke’s words, Li Si looked at him with a half-smile and said:

 “Assassin’s Guild, who are you trying to deceive?”

 The Assassin Guild also has a form similar to the Mercenary Guild. It can accept commissions from others and issue tasks at the same time. However, due to the special nature of the profession, they are basically assassination commissions.

 So the Assassin’s Guild is not allowed by city rulers in many places and hides in gray areas.

 Under normal circumstances, there are indeed many assassins taking commissions and tasks from the guild at this moment, but we have to see what the situation is.

In order to reach the Bolin Kingdom as quickly as possible and to avoid possible attacks, Cecil chose a shortcut through the Elf Forest. The two of them were very fast and there was no delay in their journey.

And to be honest, although it is a shortcut, it is not a clear path, it is just a general direction in the Elf Forest.

Even in this situation, it is impossible for the assassin in front of him to catch up from behind.

 Otherwise, Li Si would have discovered it long ago.

Li Si thinks that the most likely possibility is that the other party has special props that can locate Cecil’s location.

For example, if a prop is used to detect the blood of the Sun Elf, if the opponent’s target is really the blood of the Sun Elf, then this is very possible.

 “Tell me, who sent you?”

Li Si looked at Xinke as if he were looking at a bronze professional.

“of course”

 Sink looked at Li Si with an expression of resignation.

Before he finished speaking, a black-red evil air suddenly erupted from Xinke’s body, surrounding his body. His speed increased greatly, and he suddenly dodged and ran towards the depths of the Elf Forest.

“oh?”

When Li Si saw this, he was not surprised but happy.

This kind of atmosphere is very familiar to him. He has felt a similar atmosphere in Bingfeng City.

 The breath of the endless abyss, and it is very similar to Demogorgon.

 Sure enough, the destruction of the Elf Royal Court has something to do with Cecil!

 The suspicion in his heart was confirmed, but Li Si had no intention of letting Xin Ke go.

Whether it is possible to weaken the enemy’s strength in advance, the most important thing is to prevent the opponent from taking back information about himself and Cecil.

Li Si dodged and chased after him, much faster than Xin Ke, who was already desperately using the power of the devil.

Li Si does not plan to use spells now. He plans to temporarily cover up these aspects of strength as his own trump card, leaving some leeway.

 Before getting deeply involved in the affairs of the Elf King’s Court, Li Si should not face legendary existences. Li Si’s doing so may have unexpected effects.

How can it be?

Zink felt the rapidly approaching pressure from behind and looked back in disbelief.

 He has been surprised so many times today that he is not late.

Li Si no longer planned to hold back. He had already determined that the other party was Demogorgon’s subordinate, so there was no need to get information from the other party.

It would be okay if it were other abyss lords, but those self-confused guys often have no way to control their subordinates.

 There are even many people who specialize in defrauding power from those abyss demon lords.

But Demogorgon is different. He has a deep mind and is more cunning and cunning than the devils in hell.

 Many people, forces, and even gods suffered from this person in the previous life.

Li Si didn’t have the confidence to provoke him in front of Demogorgon, so it was better to just keep silent and make a fortune.

Appeared in Li Si’s field of vision again, Xin Ke’s whole person seemed to have changed.

The power of shadow that originally surrounded his body has been replaced by the breath of the abyss of madness and depravity. The thick blood vessels on the skin of Xinke’s face and body were deeply exposed, and dark power flowed under his skin.

The eyes are full of blood red, and the whole body size has swelled a little, and the evil and filthy abyss air is spreading around.

 Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s really ugly!

Li Si shook his head and rushed forward brandishing the hammer.

Remembering the terrifying sound of breaking wind, the hammer suddenly hit Xinke.

boom!

Xin Ke only had time to put his arms in front of him, but he was still sent flying by Li Si’s hammer and smashed into the forest.

Li Si shook the hammer in his hand and nodded.

Not to mention, it feels really good.

 “Roar ah ah ah ah!”

Remembering the roar like a monster, Xinke’s figure appeared in front of Li Si again.

Now he seems to have been completely eroded by the power of the abyss, losing most of his sanity and

However, Xinke’s condition is not good now. Both arms have completely disappeared, leaving only a piece of twisted flesh and pale bone fragments.

The abyss airflow on Xinke’s body kept twisting and began to make up for the incompleteness of his restored arms, but the speed was not very fast.

Furthermore, Xink’s black and red body skin had a faint feeling of melting, like a snowman melting in the sun.

Li Si knows this very well, because the world of Gaia has always been resistant to the aura and power of the abyss.

If the opening of the Abyss Gate does not provide enough abyss breath, using demonic power will lead to physical collapse.

This is also why after the Abyss Demons invaded the world of Gaia through the Gate of the Abyss, they would reduce their attacks and conserve their strength if they did not receive supplements.

Sinke’s situation will lead to death due to physical collapse and the erosion of the power of the abyss if he is left in this state for a long time.

But Li Si didn’t intend to be that troublesome. Even if the golden assassin in front of him was strengthened by the power of the abyss, it wouldn’t be much trouble for Li Si.

Li Si shook the hammer and walked towards Xin Ke, whose eyes were blood red.

 After a while, the intrusive roar in the forest stopped, and there was no longer any unusual sound.

Li Si looked at the gold-level assassin who had turned into a pool of blood and mud, and put the hammer in his hand into the storage ring.

 Picking out a black iron-colored ring from the disgusting flesh and blood, Li Si nodded with satisfaction.

 It is indeed a space ring. As expected, he deliberately avoided this ring when he attacked just now.

 Hope there is something useful in this!
