I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 429 [Blood Protection]

Burns Castle,
The heavy door closed behind him, and Li Si was somewhat surprised to find that he was now in a completely dark room.

There was not a single ray of light; total darkness enveloped the room.

Li Si was a little confused. Has His Majesty Burns always stayed in this kind of place?
Not quite sure about the layout of the room, Li Si didn't dare to move around casually. What if he accidentally violated the taboo of His Majesty Burns?
Li Si mobilized some magic power and formed a spell in front of him that he often used during his adventures.

Zero-ring trick [Light Magic]!
"Ok?"

Li Si frowned, a little surprised.

Although he could clearly feel the consumption of magic power and the familiar spell model had been successfully constructed in front of him, Li Si did not see any light.

Li Si tried to increase the output of magic power, but it had no effect.

No, that's not right!

It's not that [Light Spell] has failed. This small spell has indeed been cast, but the light produced by the spell has been completely swallowed up by the darkness in the room.

It seems as if there will not be any light here!
Is this the power of His Majesty Burns?

Li Si sighed a little. This should be the power that His Majesty exuded naturally. It couldn't be that such an environment was specially arranged just to play a joke on him, the golden wizard?
But what should we do now? Just stay where we are?

I didn't see any movement from His Majesty Burns?

Li Si was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should go back to Marion to ask about the situation.

At this moment, Li Si suddenly remembered the [Supernatural Realm·Darkness] he had just mastered.

As the power of [Supernatural Realm·Darkness] spread in Li Si's body and merged into the darkness outside, Li Si seemed to have become a sculpture blending into the darkness.

He closed his eyes slightly, and with the help of [Supernatural Realm·Darkness], he felt the powerful and pure dark power surrounding his body.

In his perception, the darkness seemed to have life. It was no longer a simple lack of color, but turned into a textured entity that gently wrapped around him.

Without resistance, Li Si allowed the deep dark power to slowly penetrate into his skin, silently seeping into every corner of his body.

Like a mother's embrace, private and peaceful;
Like an ancient melody, heavy and melodious.

Li Si's body seemed to merge with the darkness. His heartbeat was synchronized with the pulsation of the darkness, and his breathing was in harmony with the flow of the darkness.

He felt as if he had become a part of the darkness. He did not feel any evil, chaos or uneasiness. It was more like the depth and mystery of the night. All things fell asleep peacefully under the protection of the darkness, enjoying the shelter of the night.
-
Hey~
[You have been baptized by the power of pure darkness!]
[Your control over [Supernatural Realm·Darkness] has slightly increased!]
[You gain 1032 experience points! ]
[Your control over [Supernatural Realm·Darkness] has slightly increased!]
[You gain 1155 experience points!]——
Looking at the information on the system panel, Li Si nodded slightly.

I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise. Although the increase is not much, there will be new improvements every once in a while.

It's a free gift, so don't be too greedy.

However, Li Si's attention is not on this now.

As Li Si merged with the dark forces around him, his senses seemed to undergo some special changes.

What he felt was no longer just complete darkness. As he looked ahead, the darkness around him began to slowly fade away, as if it was gradually turning into a layer of light black gauze that enveloped the room.

Li Si saw that in the center of the room, a gorgeous coffin stood quietly.

The surface of the coffin is inlaid with gems, gold and silver, shining brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness. The lines of the coffin are smooth and elegant, and every detail reveals exquisiteness and luxury, as if it is a work of art rather than just a container for the deceased.

The lid of the coffin was half open, and a mysterious and noble black aura was constantly exhaling from the gap in the coffin, blending with the darkness in the room.

Li Si could feel the noble aura emanating from inside the coffin. The aura was cold and ancient, and the fragrance of pure blood lingered faintly at the tip of Li Si's nose.

Li Si was very familiar with this aura; it was the power of His Majesty Burns.

Hmm. I didn't expect His Majesty Burns would live in this coffin.

Is this the habit of vampires?

That's not right. He didn't notice Angela showing any such behavior.

"Your Majesty Burns!"

Li Si bowed slightly and saluted respectfully and said.

The words fell, but there was no response. The exquisite coffin in front of him was still inhaling and exhaling dark air.

Seeing no response, Li Si spoke a few more times, but still got no response.

this.
Li Si was speechless.

For some reason, looking at the situation in front of him, he began to doubt whether His Majesty Burns had fallen asleep.

Li Si felt a lightness on his shoulder, and Angela flew off his body.

In Li Si's eyes, the little white bat in the darkness flew to the coffin in the room, waved her little claws and slapped the coffin lid.

Boom boom boom!
Li Si looked at Angela's movements in front of him with some surprise. Her skillful movements seemed like she had done this often before.

"Hmm~"

A soft sigh sounded in the room, and the black air currents in the entire room suddenly fluctuated, rushing towards the cracks in the coffin like a young swallow flying into an arms.

In a moment, the darkness in the room disappeared completely, and Li Si's eyes returned to normal, seeing the blue-gray stone floor and walls.

Angela saw Burns wake up, and flew back nimbly and lay on Li Si's shoulder.

He also waved his little paws towards Li Si, as if to reward him.

Li Si could only say that it was amazing, as it was the same operation he performed when he moved things from Teacher Stephens' warehouse.

"You guys are coming over?"

Burns' voice rang out from the coffin, his words full of fatigue and weakness.

It seems that Burns has no intention of climbing out of the coffin.

"Hello, Your Majesty Burns."

Although he didn't know whether Burns could see it or not, Li Si saluted again.

After all, this big guy really saved his life and gave him the head of Benfica, which allowed his strength to take another breakthrough leap.

Although Burns may not understand this aspect, Li Si still keeps it in mind.

"there is nothing."

Burns didn't care about it.

One thing is one thing, although in order to avoid being hunted down by the evil god of the abyss, the vampires have been hiding their identities.

But a legendary vampire appeared right under his nose, so it was no problem to deal with this guy.

What's more, Burns also relied on the power of Cain to cut off the connection between Benfica and the evil god behind it, and was not worried about any other follow-up.

"I wonder if you asked me to come here to do something?"

Li Si looked at the coffin in front of him and said respectfully. As an experienced player, Li Si knew very well that Burns would not specifically ask him to come over if there was nothing going on.

You know, in this era, it is quite difficult even for gold-level professionals to see legendary beings.

Because of Uncle Joyce, Li Si was able to get to know Teacher Stephens so easily and become his disciple.

Under normal circumstances, Li Si would have to achieve extremely significant achievements in the Royal Academy of Magic of Fes and dominate all the students in the academy before he would have a chance to meet the academy's principal, [Flame of Judgment] Stephens.

This is not a joke!
You should know that Bernie Bevan’s teacher, the magic pattern master Yousef Daher, even chose to join the magic academy and be deeply bound to Stephens in order to meet him.

Even so, he only got the possibility to meet Stephens, and he had to wait until Stephens returned from his travels.

Therefore, it was entirely with the help of Uncle Joyce that Li Si was accepted as a disciple by Stephens at that time.

Of course, Stephens was quite satisfied with Li Si’s talent and performance afterwards.

So much so that he allowed Li Si to empty out the warehouse of the First Magic Workshop.

"Actually, I've wanted to see you for a long time."

Burns' voice sounded, and for some reason Li Si felt a hint of smile from his words.

"When I received Lord Cain's oracle and learned about the existence of Angela, the Son of God, you were mentioned."

"I didn't expect that you knew about Lord Cain's existence at that time. This makes me very curious."

"This"

Li Si was stunned. He didn't expect to hear such news from Burns.

In fact, in Cangguang City, when Marion came to look for Angela, he vaguely guessed that this might be related to his prayer to Cain in [McGuire's Tomb of Death].

You know, if Li Si had not cleared the dungeon of [McGuire's Tomb of the Dead], it would have been completely crushed by the power of the royal family of Fez.

The kingdom's princess, Taiya Feisi, has fallen into that secret place, and the kingdom will certainly not give up on rescuing her.

The appearance of the [McGuire's Tomb of the Dead] copy in the players' public copies also means that this secret realm should have been destroyed at that time.

Angela was undoubtedly conquered in the process. After all, her performance at that time was no different from that of a gold-level vampire.

She herself didn't even know the existence of vampires, let alone the royal family of Fez.

So in a sense, Li Si also helped Angela avoid death.

However, Li Si did not have any other thoughts because of this. His interactions with Angela had made him regard this cute and greedy little girl as a true friend.

"I was in a hurry and offended Lord Cain. Please forgive me."

Lees didn't know what Burns meant, so he responded.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I also have to thank you for helping us bring back the Son of God."

There was a hint of intimacy in Burns's old voice.

"I really have something to ask you to come here this time."

"Angela has already accepted Lord Cain's inheritance, but she still has a long way to go before she can truly master this power."

"Unlike Marion, there are some things Angela needs to experience firsthand to understand."

"what do you mean?"

Li Si was a little surprised and asked while looking at the coffin in front of him.

"I want Angela to stay with you, just like before."

"Don't worry, as long as she doesn't encounter a legendary being, her strength is enough to protect herself."

Li Si couldn't help but grin when he thought of the power Angela summoned that night.

Are you kidding? This is not self-protection at all, it's just a killing spree under the legend.

However, the cost of using that kind of power should be quite high and cannot be used casually.

These days have passed, and Angela has not fully recovered from her weakened state.

"Of course there is no problem. In fact, I get more help with Angela staying by my side."

Li Si agreed, and Angela was also using her little paws to pull at Li Si's clothes to express her happiness.

Not to mention such an easy thing, Li Si would choose to agree even if it was a more difficult thing.

After all, Burns saved his life, and Li Si was not an ungrateful person.

"That's good."

"I hope you can grow up faster, Angela, understand?"

Angela listened to Burns' voice and nodded quickly.
"No problem, you can trust Li Si."

"hehe."

Burns chuckled twice, not caring about Angela's attitude.

"Lord Cain knows of your existence and asked me to bring you a gift."

Gift?

Li Si was a little curious, and then he saw a drop of bright red blood suddenly fly out from the gorgeous coffin and fly straight to his forehead.

This is?

Li Si frowned slightly, but did not dodge.

Burns hadn’t done it to him yet.

As the bright red blood dropped into Li Si's brow, Li Si instantly felt a pure force spreading out from his brow to the surroundings, causing his blood to boil and his face to turn red.

Hey~
[You have received the blessing of Cain, the god of darkness and blood!]
[You have acquired the specialty [Blood Protection]!]
[Feature [Blood Protection]: Derived from the divine power of Cain, the god of darkness and blood. Your endurance attribute is increased by an additional 20%. In battle, you have a higher chance of gaining powerful bloodthirstiness, hemostasis, and body recovery effects.]
[You have come into contact with the power of God!]
[Your progress in analyzing divine power: 10%]——
Call ~
A new divine protection comes from Cain, the ancestor of the blood clan.

Li Si felt the changes in his body. Cain's gift of divine power was not just the specialty [Blood Protection] reflected on the panel.

More power is secretly enhancing Li Si's body's muscle toughness, flexibility and other aspects.

It is much higher than the improvement brought by obtaining [Silver Moon Protection].

Although the improvement of [Silver Moon Protection] is powerful, its limitations are quite large.

The effect of his specialty [Silver Moon Protection] can only be triggered when Li Si is bathing in moonlight. So far, it has only come in handy in his battles with [Blood Shark] Patrick and Kate City.

But [Blood Protection] is different. Simply increasing the endurance attribute by 20% unconditionally is powerful enough. The blood-related states that can be triggered by fighting are also quite powerful.

An idea came into Li Si's mind.

This time I came to Burns, I made a lot of money!
