I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1672 - 920: New Confrontation (Part 2)

No matter how good the equipment he forges, it can’t withstand such constant use!In Desolate Flame Capital, there’s no one else who can repair this equipment.

So the Balrog Flame Demons returned, seeking Lis’s help for repairs.

After repairing a few times, Lis grew a bit impatient.

He simply started charging for repairs directly, making enough from a few repairs to match the cost of a whole piece of equipment.

With this, the Balrog Flame Demons became somewhat more compliant.

However, Edward’s reputation was growing among the Balrog Flame Demons.

Facing Lis’s inquiry, Rodrick felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he had indeed caused a lot of trouble for Edward.

Moreover, he knew that other Flame Demon Commanders were trying to recruit Edward.

This was unacceptable!

Such a capable subordinate, Rodrick didn’t know when he would have such good luck again.

It was precisely because of this reason that he came to find Lis.

"There’s something else."

Rodrick shook his head and said:

"Received a new mission, need to guard the plane boundary."

"Plane boundary? Didn’t it just rotate recently?"

Lis was somewhat surprised.

The plane boundary refers to the junction between the Desolate Flame Plain and the Nether Breath Domain during the last Demon Plane War.

To prevent any covert incursions, the Legendary Fire Demon Dominic arranged his subordinates to guard there and monitor the situation.

Lis had once taken turns guarding there with Rodrick.

However, during the previous period, the junction was quite calm, and there were no anomalies in the Nether Breath Domain.

But now, why suddenly send more personnel there?

Noticing Edward’s surprise, Rodrick’s expression was also a bit grim.

"There’s some anomaly at the plane boundary, so Lord Dominic sent more personnel."

"Edward, your magic is very effective against those undead. This time, come over with me."

"But if so, you won’t have time to forge equipment for a while."

Rodrick knew that Lis was making money through this method, so he explained further.

"No problem."

Lis responded directly.

"Just right, I’m running out of prepared ore, can’t continue forging even if I want to."

Lis added with a smile.

In fact, the main supply still had plenty left.

But Lis didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

During the last demon war, Lis gained quite a lot of benefits.

Moreover, now Lis needs more slaughter and combat to adapt to the body and soul of the Abyss Demon.

This is to better align with the Abyss Will.

From Timothy’s teachings, Lis learned that for Abyss Demons, gaining the attention of the Abyss Will through battle and slaughter is quite important.

Especially during the breakthrough to Legend.

This is equivalent to establishing the essence of the Abyss Demon.

Obtaining more favor and gifts from the Abyss Will makes it easier to break through.

More importantly, this is significant for becoming an Abyss Lord.

In Timothy’s descriptions, during the breakthrough to Legend, it is a rare chance to experience the Abyss Will up close.

Some Abyss Demons even receive gifts from the Abyss Will during their Legend break and directly become Abyss Lords.

Therefore, before breaking through to Legend, Lis decided to make good preparations.

Since he’s becoming an Abyss Demon, apart from the necessary limits, Lis plans to try acting like a genuine Abyss Demon.

To see if such behavior might help gain favor from the Abyss Will.

...

At the plane boundary,

The Desolate Flame Plain and Nether Breath Domain were like two completely different worlds, each exuding unique and extreme aura.

The junction of these two Abyss Planes had become a strange place of collision between the two sides.

On the Desolate Flame Plain side, the scorching magma flowed like turbulent rivers, baking the earth a fiery red wherever it reached, emanating a suffocating heat.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, with wave after wave of scorching heat, as if devouring all living creatures.

In contrast, the Nether Breath Domain was a deathly silent icy world.

Undead Qi permeated every inch of space like thick mist, freezing everything it touched, the chill piercing, as if even the soul could be solidified by this cold.

Lis was currently hiding behind a giant, twisted rock at the junction.

His gaze fixed on a group of bored Balrog Flame Demons not far away.

These Balrog Flame Demons were yawning idly, showing no signs of tension.

Everything seemed quite peaceful, with no hint of anomaly.

Apart from the sound of magma flowing and the low sound of wind from the Nether Breath Domain, there was no other sound.

But Lis still remained vigilant, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, Lis noticed an inexplicable disturbance at the barrier of the junction not far away.

The disturbance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the surrounding silence.

His eyes immediately became sharp.

"It’s happening again! Watch out!"

Lis shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the silent space.

Upon his warning, the previously bored Balrog Flame Demons also immediately sensed the anomaly.

In their eyes, countless skeleton soldiers and walking corpses suddenly appeared.

These skeleton soldiers were small and thin, their skeletons covered in worn-out leather armor, holding rusty swords, wobbling towards the Balrog Flame Demons.

And the walking corpses were even more terrifying; their bodies were rotten, exuding a nauseating stench.

With every step, bits of rotten flesh fell off, yet they felt no pain and continued to advance.

Seeing this scene, the Balrog Flame Demons let out a deafening roar, like thunder, echoing in the air.

They brandished their weapons, like a raging stream of fire, charging towards the undead. In an instant, both sides were locked in combat.

The Balrog Flame Demons relied on their own immense strength and flame attacks to slay these low-level undead like cutting through melons and vegetables.

As their war axes swung, they raised a scorching storm, slicing through the surrounding skeleton soldiers and walking corpses.

The flaming spears thrust out like fire dragons, instantly devouring the undead.

This situation had occurred several times before, seemingly as if these undead had accidentally wandered across the border line.

But this time, Lis sensed something unusual.

The number of these undead was much greater than before, and there seemed to be a hint of sinister madness in their eyes.

He cautiously observed the surroundings, ready to react to any potential danger.

Lis quietly lay in the shadows, his figure perfectly blending with them, not in a hurry to take action.

Killing these low-level undead was meaningless, it was better to be prepared.

At this moment, he was concentrating on observing the battlefield situation, not missing a single detail.

Around him, the Balrog Flame Demons sensed the approaching undead, letting out earth-shattering roars, sounding as if they could tear the space apart.

They were like hot, molten lava currents converging from all directions, each Balrog Flame Demon exuding a terrifying high temperature, causing the air to distort as they passed.

The undead surged like tides, densely packed, their numbers enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

However, most of these undead were of average strength, merely lowly beings relying on numbers to prevail.

The Balrog Flame Demons showed no fear, swinging their gigantic flaming battleaxes, each swing brought forth a wave of scorching fire.

Especially those Flame Demons equipped with Lis’s forged equipment, their aura was terrifying, charging directly at the frontline.

The undead turned into ashes under the onslaught of furious flame attacks, unable even to utter a scream.

The battle lasted a full half day, with the Balrog Flame Demons using their immense strength to decimate all approaching undead.

The ground piled with mountain-like undead remains, emitting a pungent smell of decay, intertwined with the sulfur scent from the Balrog Flame Demons, creating a nauseating stench.

Yet, just as the Balrog Flame Demons were about to celebrate their victory, the entire boundary of the plane suddenly shook violently.

The originally stabilized space barrier started forming cracks, as if being forcefully torn by an invisible giant hand.

Immediately, more and more undead qi flooded through like a dam bursting, spreading frantically toward the Balrog Flame Demons.

This undead qi was cold and evil, freezing the air wherever it reached, also suppressing the flames on the Balrog Flame Demons, causing their glow to dim.

Lis’s heart tightened, was an accident about to happen?
