I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 527 - 379: The ’Sensible Old Nobles

Chapter 527: Chapter 379: The ‘Sensible’ Old Nobles

The room was filled with silence, so dense that even the sunlight spilling in from the window could not dispel the heavy atmosphere.

The Bodich Old Nobles looked at Rolando’s headless corpse and Lis, who was shaking his finger at them, and their hearts were thrown into chaos.

They had not expected Lis to take action so directly!

After all, Rolando had Gold-level guards stationed outside the door!

Even if Ivor and Grace, both Gold-level professionals, stood behind Lis, that wouldn’t justify such brashness, would it?

Looking at Rolando, who had been killed by Lis using some unknown method, they suddenly remembered that this young man had faced off alone and defeated the Golden Great Mage Wendell.

...

Including Bernal, everyone felt a chill at their napes.

It seemed as if Lis’s bizarre attacks could land on them next.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive, no one spoke, and the room fell into complete silence.

Lis, somewhat bored, shook his finger. The attack he had just executed on Rolando was a new ability he had recently mastered.

After learning and successfully mastering the Space Teleportation Magic Array from Mr. Stephens, Lis had taken his application of Space Techniques to a new level.

Unlike Lis’s previous Space Magic attacks, which were grand and sweeping, he could now easily open a Space Rift and direct it to strike his enemies.

Except for the weaponry and equipment boosted by special effects or those with special abilities, nearly no one could defend against the devouring force of a Space Rift using physical means alone.

However, attacks using the Space Rift were not invincible, and this kind of attack was flawed in that it was not very fast and could easily be dodged.

As Gold-level professionals had extremely sharp combat instincts, just as Lis had experienced several times before, although they were unaware of what would happen, their combat instincts would alert them to subconsciously dodge.

Thus, to be effective in combat at the Gold-level, Lis would still need to devise a specific strategy for this kind of attack.

After mastering this ability, Lis planned to use it as a foundation to develop a new arcane.

Of course, Extraordinary Professionals below the Gold Level were basically unable to sense the attack from a Space Rift.

In other words, this ability of Lis’s was a Divine Skill for defeating weaker opponents.

However, this special method of attack was just an ability Lis had unexpectedly acquired; the fundamental aspect was his increasingly profound perception of space energy.

He could even subconsciously touch upon some special realm.

Perhaps this was the reason Mr. Stephens had him learn to build a Space Transmission Array on his own.

Lis’s thoughts began to drift, and in dimensions unseen to others, subtle spatial vibrations spread from his index finger into the surroundings.

He decided to leave those Bodich Old Nobles hanging for a while, to let them know who truly owned this place.

Risa, standing behind Lis, frowned slightly, finding the sight of the befuddled Rolando somewhat unsettling.

Although Joyce had taken her out to experience the world and she had killed before, most of her enemies had directly turned to ash under the assault of her Shape Changing Magic, and she rarely encountered such a cruelly shocking scene.

However, she clenched her small hand tightly, not allowing her discomfort to make her falter.

The young master wants me to help more; I can’t let him down!

It’s just a dead person.

It really isn’t anything major!

Risa mentally cheered herself on, not turning away from the glaring crimson.

Suddenly, Risa shivered, feeling a warmth wrapping around her small hand.

Turning her head, she saw Lis smiling at her, his large hand gently kneading hers.

So many people are watching.

Blushing crept up Risa’s delicate face as she felt as if all eyes from across the room were on her, and she tucked her small face deeper behind her bangs in embarrassment.

Somehow, Risa felt much more relaxed, and the corpse in front of her didn’t seem as frightening anymore.

Meanwhile, the Old Nobles standing opposite Lis were not nearly as relaxed.

Although they were all standing, they nonetheless felt completely overpowered by Lis, who sat before them.

Finally, someone couldn’t take it anymore and, moving backward, pushed the door open and ran out as if fleeing.

Lis did not stop him; though he had plans to cooperate with these people, if they lacked even that much resolve, it was better not to continue embarrassing themselves.

Following that individual, several more Old Nobles turned and left swiftly, as if Lis were a spectral reaper.

With the door wide open, the thick, pungent smell of blood also began to spread.

The guards stationed at the door, upon smelling this, changed their expressions and quickly turned to look inside the room.

All they saw was a headless corpse lying on the floor, the crimson blood flowing freely across the ground.

“Lord Rolando!”

With a shout, a figure quickly dashed in from outside the door, kneeling beside Rolando’s body on one knee.

Just from looking at the clothes on the headless corpse, one could tell to whom it belonged.

This was one of Rolando’s Gold-level guards.

Earlier, everyone had been stationed at the door, and since the attack from Lis’s controlled Space Rift was so well hidden, and because they were not the targets, this Gold-level Warrior also hadn’t noticed the anomaly in the room.

“What happened here, Lord Bernal?”

This Gold-level guard asked Bernal with a face full of shock and anger, while his hostile gaze turned towards Lis.
