I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

The two warriors standing beside Marquis saw the power of Lis's spellcasting and dared not take him lightly any longer, hastily joining forces to attack Lis.

Watching the two warriors rapidly approaching, Lis stood his ground and chose not to evade.

In his eyes, the assault speed of the two warriors wasn't fast; Lis could easily dodge it.

But there was no need. Information on Lis's mastery of other professions might be worthless to ordinary people, but Lis didn't want to reveal this secret in front of the All Beast Church just because of these few minions.

After all, using only a mage's methods, dealing with these three was still no problem.

A longsword and a long spear forcefully struck towards Lis, but they did not send him flying as they had imagined.

A barrier flickering with a faint light appeared around Lis.

Four Rings Magic [Advanced Protective Field]!

Dong～

Dong～

Crack!

Two crisp sounds rang out as the attacks from the two opponents were blocked by Lis's shield.

Similarly, a crack appeared on the magic shield beside Lis.

It seemed that after a few more attacks, Lis's shield would be destroyed.

Seeing this, Lis also frowned.

Four Rings Magic [Resistance Ring]!

A bright white ring of light exploded violently from around Lis, spreading in all directions.

When it reached the two warriors, they felt an irresistible force fall upon them and were sent flying back over ten meters.

[Resistance Ring] was a very special spell; although it could not cause any damage, its unique effect could directly repel anyone who approached the user.

This spell had a very high priority, basically the nemesis of many tough guys and one of the mages' favorite protection spells against sudden assaults.

After recasting protection magic, Lis calmed his mind.

He suddenly realized something; previously, all the arcane he had created were offensive spells; he hadn't made any protection magic.

All the protective spells Lis used were standard mage spells: practical, yet their strength was merely on par with their level.

They sufficed against equal-tier Silver Professionals, but when facing stronger opponents, he would inevitably find himself in a pinch.

In previous battles, although Lis had faced several Gold-level powerhouses, he had fully utilized the long suit of a mage and rarely engaged in direct combat.

For instance, in the battle at West Castle, Lis used his ability to fly to his advantage, giving the Gold Rank Sword Saint Abbas quite a hard time.

But that was only a temporary advantage; Lis could use Flying Technique so casually because of the element and strength enhancements from [Sphinx's Wisdom]—not something an average mage could achieve.

Lis was also aware that Abbas had no particularly effective means against aerial targets, which is why he acted as he did.

In future battles, not every situation would allow Lis to be fully prepared.

Shield spells are a basic and essential skill that every mage must master, as they allow a mage to cast spells in a safer environment during combat—this is of utmost importance.

Even though Lis was capable of close combat, he couldn't neglect improvement in this area.

I'll need to work on that!

Lis made a mental note, then refocused his attention.

After their initial setback, the expressions of the three from the All Beast Church were unpleasant.

Charles was already considered an expert among the Silver Level, but he failed to gain any advantage against them and could only flee in a sorry state.

Their initial probing had already revealed that the target they faced was extremely troublesome.

Nevertheless, the three did not wish to give up such a rare opportunity. If they could sacrifice Lis to the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, the rewards bestowed upon them would surely be substantial.

Perhaps it could even allow the three of them to break through to the Gold Rank!

Grinding his teeth, Marquis took out a small tube of potion, crushed the neck of the bottle, and poured the light red liquid into his mouth.

Lis, seeing this, did not attempt to stop him; instead, he watched Marquis's transformation with interest.

No sooner had the light red liquid entered his belly than Marquis took a deep breath; his skin began to turn bright red, and the muscles in his arms and body visibly thickened, straining against the brown leather armor he wore.

"Beast Power Potion? Or perhaps the higher-grade Dragon Power Potion?"

Lis mused aloud, curious about Marquis's bodily changes. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

Meanwhile, his hands didn't stop moving as he wielded his magic wand, forming two deep blue Wind Blades each two meters wide, pushing the two warriors back again.

They're truly desperate. Regardless of the type of body strengthening potion, it came down to unleashing strength that exceeded the body's limit.

The stronger the erupted force, the greater the strain on the body!

And using Magic Potions, compared to similar explosive skills, was even more unpredictable, with a small chance of immediate death depending on the potion's grade.

Marquis, huffing and puffing after taking the potion, looked at Lis with bloodshot eyes and an overflowing rage that seemed to completely tear Lis apart.

Facing this fierce gaze, Lis felt no pressure.

Just kidding; if looks could kill, Lis would have perished many times over during his time in the Dillon Kingdom.

Marquis dropped his longbow, pulled a longsword from his Space Ring, and charged furiously at Lis.

What's going on?

Lis shook his head at Marquis's actions.
