I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 520 An unexpected surprise
Green Wind City,
Brett looked at Li Si who was looking down at him in mid-air. Although he didn't sense any aura from this young man, he felt a vague sense of timidity in his heart.

what's the situation?
Brett frowned slightly and became more cautious.

Although I don't know how this handsome young man in front of me found this place, now that he has been discovered, there is no point in getting angry.

The most important thing is to get out of here as soon as possible.

Brett stared at Li Si in front of him. Although he could not sense his breath, there was no doubt that this young man was definitely a strong man of the Gold Rank.

Such a young golden level?

He looks to be around twenty years old.

As a gold-level shadow assassin, Brett has climbed up step by step from an orphan to his current position, so he naturally knows the hardships of getting to this point.

In order to become stronger, he gave up friendship and love, betrayed his closest brothers, and was willing to be abandoned by his friends and family and join the Church of the Evil God.

Even so, he has been stuck before breaking through to the legendary level for more than a decade. The last step seems to be a chasm that resists his efforts, as if his talent can only support him to this step.

Right under your feet is the end of Brett’s life!

Brett is unwilling to accept this fact and is unable to break through the legend. So what are all his previous sacrifices and efforts worth?
To this end, he prayed to Mask, the god of thieves, asking for the power to support him in breaking through the legend.

Mask responded to Brett's prayer, but the evil god's gift often comes at a price.

Brett certainly didn't want to bear the cost of praying to the gods for what he needed, so he needed other alternatives.

Fresh flesh and soul are the best sacrifices.

According to Brett's original plan, after he paid a sufficient price in sacrifice to the God of Thieves, he would be able to obtain the power of the gods, complete the transition of life levels, and become a powerful being of the legendary level.

But all this is based on the assumption that no one else discovers any trace.

Originally, relying on the abilities of the Shadow Assassin and the power and protection of Mask, the God of Thieves, even the clergy of the Church of the Suffering God would find it difficult to find his trace.

But who would have thought that a freak like Li Si would suddenly appear.

Although Brett was extremely angry, he did not intend to continue to tangle with Li Si.

Brett could feel the vigorous vitality in Li Si, so Li Si must be not very old.

Such a young gold-level professional is different from Brett.

Although Brett has reached the top of the Golden Stage, it is extremely difficult for him to become a legend as his potential has been exhausted. Even if he relies on the blessing of the gods to break through to the Legendary stage, he will only be an ordinary one.

It is completely different from what Li Si represents!
Whether in the Church of the Gods or in other supernatural forces, the young man in front of him is definitely a future star, and it would be impossible for him to have no strong support behind him.

There might even be a legendary figure keeping an eye on him at all times, or carrying extremely valuable special items with him.

Whatever the case, it's not good news for Brett.

Now he just wanted to leave here and continue the life sacrifice ceremony somewhere else.

As for revenge on Li Si, there will be plenty of opportunities after he becomes a legend.

Brett secretly guarded against Li Si's possible special methods, but he didn't care much about Li Si's own strength.

No matter what, it is already quite rare for someone to break through to become a gold-level professional at such a young age. It is extremely difficult to master the extraordinary field, let alone stop him.

Although Brett has entered old age and his potential has been almost completely exhausted, he is still a strong man standing on the threshold of legend.

At least, the extraordinary realm [Shadow] that Brett has mastered has reached the third level, and he is just waiting to break through the final threshold and sublimate into the legendary realm.

These thoughts flashed through Brett's mind quickly, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Li Si looked at Brett who disappeared into the secret room, his expression did not change at all.

Generally speaking, when a mage of the same level faces an assassin, the most important thing he needs to guard against is the assassin lurking in the dark and looking for opportunities to launch a sneak attack.

If they fight head-on, assassins are generally no match for mages.

Of course, any assassin with a little experience would not choose to fight other professionals head-on, except for those who have opened the invincible power.

Likewise, the mages have almost no way to restrict the assassins from leaving, let alone shadow assassins who are good at manipulating the power of shadows.

First of all, it is quite difficult for a mage to discover the trace of an assassin, let alone use spells to lock onto an assassin.

Secondly, the assassin's best skill, speed, basically gives them the first-mover advantage when facing other professionals, which gives the assassin enough room to choose whether to continue attacking or move away from the target.

But... that's for ordinary mages.

Li Si himself is not ordinary!
Boom!
On the street about thirty meters away from Li Si, the starlight cast shadows of the low houses on the ground twisted, and Brett's figure suddenly appeared flying backwards.

He looked up at the air in front of him in surprise. Just when he was about to leave here in the form of shadow, he suddenly hit an extremely tough wall.

Brett didn't even have time to react before he was knocked out of stealth by the huge force.

Li Si had a smile on his face as he looked at Brett who was a little confused below. This was his work.

Seventh-ring arcane [Li Si’s space cage]!
This is the first high-level space magic created by Li Si, and is one of the results of Li Si's research on space magic.

The most outstanding thing about Teacher Stephens is his superb use of space magic. He can even travel freely outside the Gaia world without any constraints.

This is quite hard to imagine, considering that the world outside Gaia is the home of gods and terrifying monsters, but Teacher Stephens has been alive and well for countless years.

Even many gods knew the name of this legendary arcanist.

This is also the reason why Li Si is not worried at all even though Teacher Stephens has not been contacted for a long time.

Instead of worrying about problems with Teacher Stephens, it is better to learn the knowledge that Teacher Stephens left behind.

Although the [Stephens' Space Analysis Notes] left by the teacher contained all the space magic knowledge below the legendary level, Li Si still couldn't say that he had fully mastered it.

This is enough to show how deeply Teacher Stephens has delved into this field.

Of course, the space magic that Li Si currently masters cannot be compared with that of Teacher Stephens, but it is enough to make others despair.

Just like Brett now.

After discovering that he was blocked by the space barrier in front of him, he tried many ways to find that method, but none of them worked.

Even the sharp dagger in his hand, which was sharp enough to break through the dragon's skin, was as difficult to move forward as an ordinary person stabbing against several meters thick old cowhide when stabbing at the space barrier.

As for the shadow jump, Brett found that the space barrier in front of him seemed to block his perception. He could not clearly determine the destination of the shadow jump, and naturally could not use the assassin's shuttle skills.

Brett turned around and looked at Li Si, who hadn't moved a step. He could no longer hide the anger in his heart. "What on earth do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Li Si looked at Brett, whose face was dark, calmly and said with a smile:

"How about this, you just go to the Church of the Gods with me honestly, and then I'll let you leave, how about that?"

"Damn it!"

Brett was too lazy to say anything more. Asking him to go to the Church of Gods was tantamount to asking for his life.

Unable to break through the space barrier in front of him, Brett would not break through.

Once Li Si is dealt with, everything else will be easy.

Li Si looked at Brett who disappeared from his sight again without any surprise.

To be honest, he had more than enough experience fighting assassins.

As a player in his previous life, Li Si faced assassin players the most.

Because the assassin profession, which can kill with one strike, is much cooler than other professions, it has become the most popular profession among players besides the mage profession.

Moreover, before a mage grows up, he is a terrifying money-eating beast. The magic potions spent on leveling up alone are too much for many players to bear.

Compared to them, assassins are undoubtedly much more popular.

Because mages can basically only passively take the hit when facing assassin's sneak attack, the assassin profession has become the nightmare of many mage players.

No matter how high your level is, everyone is equal before the throat is cut!
In order to deal with the assassin's sneak attack, Li Si in his previous life had undergone targeted training for a long time, and even specialized in studying the combat habits and styles of professional assassins.

As for now, Li Si has no more worries.

Although Brett's control over the power of shadow was definitely better than his, Li Si had already obtained the information about the third level of the opponent's extraordinary field [Shadow] from the system panel, but it was not enough to prevent Li Si from finding any trace at all.

Li Si was floating in the air, his clothes swaying gently in the wind, and a faint magical light surrounded his body, like the brightest star in the night sky.

His left hand tightly grasped the emerald green staff, his right hand slightly opened, with gorgeous magic runes jumping on his fingertips, as if he was ready to use some powerful spell at any time. The air around him was almost solidified under the influence of Li Si's powerful magic.

How can it be?

Brett, hiding in the shadows, observed Li Si out of the corner of his eye, his heart full of disbelief.

No matter how he sensed, he did not detect the existence of any shield magic beside Li Si.

No, how dare you?
How can you be so unscrupulous in the face of a master assassin hiding in the dark?

Brett had never encountered such a situation before and was a little undecided for a moment.

In his opinion, Li Si's unreasonable behavior must have other plans and traps in mind.

But before he could figure it out, the sense of threat coming from mid-air made it impossible for him to wait any longer.

Although he didn't know what spell Li Si was going to cast, but with such great power, Brett didn't want to withstand this artillery-like bombardment.

In an instant, Brett, like a phantom in the night, stepped lightly into the void and appeared silently behind Li Si. Only his eyes flashing with cold light revealed a deadly murderous intent.

The sharp short blade held tightly in his hand reflected a cold light under the faint starlight, pointing straight at Li Si's seemingly fragile throat.

Brett was tense all over, ready to withdraw at the first opportunity if any unexpected situation occurred.

Li Si looked at Brett's cold gaze and grinned.

wrong!

Brett instantly sensed the danger and was about to pull back when he saw Li Si throwing away his staff with his left hand at a faster speed than him and grabbing the dagger that was attacking him.

The dagger was obviously extremely sharp, but it only left a faint white mark on Li Si's left finger.

What's happening here?
Brett felt his mind go blank and he had no way of understanding the situation. Suddenly, he felt his body tilt and flew towards Li Si.

Li Si pulled back his left hand that was holding the dagger, pulling Brett's body towards him.

At the same time, the magic aura condensed in his right hand had dissipated, and his five fingers clenched into an iron fist and smashed towards Brett.

boom!
Boom!

An extremely low voice was heard, and Brett fell from the sky like a cannonball, landing on a low shed below. The huge force completely destroyed the entire shed.

The huge sound echoed in the civilian area, causing the residents hiding in their homes to panic and shrink their bodies involuntarily.

"Cough cough cough~"

When the smoke and dust cleared, Brett's figure appeared in the ruins.

There was a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his left shoulder was strangely collapsed, obviously he was seriously injured.

Brett looked up at Li Si, who was still calm and composed in mid-air. The anger on his face had completely disappeared, leaving only an extremely solemn expression.

The physical injuries were severe, but even heavier were Brett's emotions.

He was not an idiot. The attack he had just received was clearly not something a gold-level mage should have.

When facing Li Si, Brett even felt like he was facing a top golden warrior and assassin.

Are you kidding me?
If there hadn't been the previous space barrier, Brett would have thought that Li Si was just a combination of a warrior and an assassin disguised as a mage.

But you tell me that the mage who can use such a powerful space spell has the same strength as a gold-level warrior and is even faster than him?

What a joke Gaia!
For a moment, Brett didn't know what to do.

Although the fight lasted only a moment, Brett already knew that he was no match for Li Si in a head-on fight.

That terrifying power and exaggerated speed
You can’t beat him, and you can’t escape him!
What should I do? Waiting online, very urgent!
Unlike Brett's hesitation, Lee Si did not continue to attack not to play with his opponent.

But he just made a new discovery.

[You enter combat mode!]
[You used the seventh-ring arcane [Li Si's Space Cage]!]
[You used your punch to knock back Brett, causing 16825 points of damage!]
[Your extraordinary realm [Wisdom] takes effect!]
[You have gained some understanding of the extraordinary realm [Shadow], and your control over it has improved!]
(Continue to accumulate insights, and there is a chance to master the extraordinary realm [Shadow]!)
