I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 833 - 514: Unexpected Joy

Chapter 833 -514: Unexpected Joy

Cui Feng City,

Brett looked at Lis who was staring down at him from mid-air. Although he couldn’t sense any aura from the young man, he felt an indescribable sense of fear creeping in his heart.

What’s going on?

Brett frowned slightly, becoming much more cautious.

He didn’t know how this handsome youth found him, but since he had already been discovered, there was no point getting angry.

The most important thing now was to get out of here as quickly as possible.

Brett stared intently at Lis before him. Even though he couldn’t feel his aura, there was no doubt the young man was definitely a Golden Rank strongman.

So young yet a Golden Rank?

He looked to be only about twenty years old.

As a Golden Rank Shadow Assassin, Brett had climbed up from being an orphan to his current position, fully aware of the hardships involved in reaching this stage.

To become stronger, he had given up friendship, love, and betrayed his closest brothers, he was willing to join the Evil God Church despite being shunned by everyone.

Even so, he had been stuck at the brink of breaking through to the Legendary Domain for over ten years, with the final hurdle seeming as insurmountable as a chasm, as if his talent could only get him this far.

Below his feet lay what could be the end of Brett’s life!

Brett was unwilling to accept this reality. If he couldn’t break through to the Legendary Domain, then what were all his previous sacrifices for?

For this, he prayed to Misk, the God of Thieves, seeking the power to support his breakthrough to Legendary.

Misk responded to Brett’s prayers, but the gifts of an Evil God always came with a price.

Of course, Brett was unwilling to bear the necessary cost of divine favor himself, so he needed other substitutes.

Fresh flesh and souls were the best offerings.

According to Brett’s plan, once he had sacrificed enough to the God of Thieves, he would receive the bestowment of Divine Power, achieve life-level transition, and become a powerful entity in the Legendary Rank.

However, all of this was based on him not being discovered by others.

Normally with the skills of a Shadow Assassin and the protection of Misk, the God of Thieves, even Divine Officers of the Church of the God of Suffering would find it difficult to trace his tracks.

But who would have thought a freak like Lis would show up halfway?

Although extremely angry, Brett did not intend to entangle with Lis.

He could sense the vigorous life force in Lis, indicating that he was very young.

Such a young Golden Rank professional was entirely different from Brett.

Though Brett stood at the peak of Golden Rank, his potential was exhausted, making it extremely difficult to become Legendary. Even with divine favor, he would be the most common type of Legendary.

The significance represented by Lis was completely different!

Whether in the Church of the Gods or other extraordinary forces, this young man before him was absolutely a future star, unlikely to have gotten this far without strong backing.

There might even be Legendary strongmen constantly watching over him or carrying extremely precious talismans.

In either case, it spelled no good news for Brett.

He now just wanted to leave, to find another place to continue the Life Sacrifice Ceremony.

As for retaliating against Lis, he would have plenty of opportunities after achieving Legendary.

While he was wary of Lis’s possible special means, Brett didn’t particularly care about Lis’s strength.

After all, breaking through to Golden Rank at such a young age was already quite rare, mastering the extraordinary domain was extremely difficult, let alone stopping him.

Though Brett had entered old age and his potential was nearly exhausted, he was still a strongman at the verge of Legendary.

At the very least, the extraordinary domain of [Shadow], which Brett mastered, had reached the Third Level. He was just waiting for the final breakthrough to transform into a Legendary Domain.

These thoughts flashed through Brett’s mind as he vanished from where he stood.

Lis watched Brett disappear into the secret room, his expression unchanged.

Generally speaking, for mages facing assassins of the same rank, the most crucial worry was the possibility of the assassins lurking in the shadows to launch a surprise attack.

If directly confronted, an assassin would typically be at a disadvantage against mages.

Of course, any experienced assassin would avoid direct confrontation with other professionals, especially if they excelled in their craft.

Likewise, mages usually had no means to prevent assassins from escaping, let alone those adept at wielding Shadow Power.

Firstly, it was hard enough for mages to detect assassins’ traces, let alone lock onto them with spells.

Secondly, the speed that assassins excelled at gave them the upper hand in confrontation with other professionals, allowing them to either press the attack or retreat at will.

But… that’s only true for ordinary mages.

Lis was anything but ordinary!

Boom!

On a street about thirty meters from Lis, the shadow cast by the starlight on a low house twisted, and Brett’s figure suddenly flew backward and appeared.

He looked at the sky in amazement, as he had just collided with an unbelievably strong wall while transforming into a shadow to leave.

Brett hadn’t even had time to react before he was forced out of Stealth State by the enormous force.

Lis’s face was wreathed in a smile as he looked at the bewildered Brett below. This was his handiwork.
