I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 700 Attacker

Lonely Mountain City,
The fiery atmosphere of the Fire Festival continues, and the dwarves are enjoying the fragrant wine.

Although the Dwarf Kingdom is somewhat xenophobic, there are still some foreigners in Lonely Mountain.

Of course, the number of humans is relatively large.

Many humans come to Gushan City and bring a lot of fine wine.

For the dwarves who do not pursue material enjoyment, the most popular thing is fine wine.

Although beer is still the dwarves' favorite drink, they will not refuse to try wines with different flavors and tastes.

And the dwarves are most willing to spend money on this, so transporting alcohol has the highest profit.

In Lonely Mountain City, there are also several taverns run by humans, and they are quite popular.

Therefore, during the Fire Festival, humans can be seen appearing among the dwarves from time to time.

They were also very interested in the dwarven celebrations.

The same is true for Caleb.

He was a little depressed because he was busy for several days but had no important results.

It happened to be the Fire Festival, and he planned to try the dwarven beer.

Let’s go to the pub I wanted to go to last time.

But it’s daytime now, so we shouldn’t be attacked again, right?
The legendary sun elf never appeared again after that incident.

Even though he and Richie had found several strongholds of the evil god's followers during these days, they had not found any clues related to them.

This made Ricky a little undecided.

He wondered if his guess was wrong, and that legendary sun elf was really sent by the Elf Kingdom.

Caleb thought the possibility was low, but there was no way to provide any evidence.

Therefore, this matter can only continue like this. Unless new clues are discovered, it may come to a standstill here.

ah~
Caleb shook his head.

Caleb felt quite unhappy that something like this had happened to him shortly after he became a legend.

However, this matter is obviously not something that can be solved by one or two legends.

Shaking his head, Caleb put these troubles behind him for the time being.

Now, it's time to relax!

In fact, Caleb quite likes fine wine.

In other words, there is no clergyman in the Church of the God of War who doesn't like good wine.

But what Caleb liked most was the beer from the Dwarf Kingdom.

Compared to the various fine wines brought by the caravan from the eastern part of the continent of Fanor, Caleb felt that the beer brewed by the dwarves retained the purest malt flavor.

Fragrant and delicious, with a long aftertaste!
And so, Caleb walked towards the tavern he remembered.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

In the corner of the alley, in the dim corner of the wall, an imperceptible shadow lurks quietly.

Normally it was just a shadow of light and dust, but at this moment it seemed to be awakened by some indescribable force and began to slowly move.

Just like waking up from a deep sleep, each expansion and contraction carries with it an eerie rhythm.

Suddenly, without Caleb noticing, the shadow exploded with unprecedented speed.

Its volume expanded at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge, deep and unfathomable abyss.

Inside the huge mouth formed by the shadow, it was pitch black and exuded a creepy chill.

Caleb didn't feel anything unusual.

His steps were light, and his mind was perhaps still immersed in his previous thoughts, and he was completely unaware of the impending changes.

At this moment, the huge shadow mouth suddenly opened and swallowed Caleb whole in the blink of an eye.

Everything happened so suddenly that Caleb had no time to react before he was tightly wrapped by the strange shadow and disappeared without a trace.

After engulfing Caleb, the shadow slowly shrank and eventually turned back into the seemingly harmless shadow in the corner.

No one around noticed what happened here.

what! ?

It all happened so quickly that Caleb had no time to react.

Caleb's consciousness gradually awakened in the chaos, but he found himself in a different dimension beyond his imagination.

He was no longer surrounded by Lonely Mountain City, but a strange area woven by shadows.

He tried to move his feet, but felt that every step was on nothingness, echoing with empty and dull footsteps.

This shadowy space seemed to have life. It breathed and moved, making Caleb feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

He looked up and all he could see with his naked eyes was a dozen meters ahead. Beyond that was deep and unknowable darkness, which seemed to hide countless secrets and dangers.

Countless shadows swirled and entangled around Caleb, and sometimes returned to a dead darkness.

He could feel the malice and prying eyes contained in these shadows, as if countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the darkness, silently watching his every move.

An inexplicable sense of danger surged in Caleb's heart, but he also understood that at this moment he had to remain calm and find a way to leave this strange space.

He began to observe his surroundings carefully, trying to find any possible clues or ways out.

However, this shadowy space seemed to be a perfect cage. No matter how hard he tried, he could not find any clues or clues.

Just as Caleb was about to burst out with all his strength and try to break through this space, a voice suddenly appeared.

"Are you the legendary priest of the Church of the God of War, Caleb?"

Caleb's heart sank when he heard this extremely gloomy voice.

He had guessed this before, after all, the space he was in now looked weird no matter how he looked at it.

Although he had never experienced it, it was definitely not a good place!

A faint blood-red glow appeared around his body.

The power of divine magic gave Caleb some confidence.

He said loudly:
"Shouldn't I be the one asking this?"

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

Regardless, Caleb is a truly legendary pastor.

The person who could bring him into this space without any protection must be not only very powerful, but also possesses quite strange strength.

This shadowy space gave him a very bad feeling, and Caleb could only do his best to be alert to possible dangers around him.

"Haven't you been looking for us lately?"

"I am now coming to see you as you wish."

The voice paused for a moment, then laughed:
"It's just that you don't seem very happy."

Who would be happy if something like this happened?

Caleb felt a little depressed, but he quickly became alert.

Faced with this situation, it is extremely disadvantageous for him.

Even if he wanted to take action, he couldn't find the opponent's location in this space.

If you act rashly without knowing the other party's ability, you may suffer a great loss.

Moreover, in this space, the fighting might not be discovered by the dwarves.

Remembering the disappearance of the legendary sun elf before, Caleb had some guesses.

This ability, could it be that Ricky's guess was correct?

Is it true that some followers of the evil god disguised themselves as sun elves and attacked Lonely Mountain? When Caleb was attacked,
Somewhere in Lonely Mountain City,
In the deep heart of the earth, the caves are winding and twisting.

It is like the intricate intestines of a giant beast, eventually leading to a secret place that seems to have been forgotten by time.

The rock walls around here are no longer naturally rough, but are covered with traces of human excavation and careful polishing.

Every scratch seems to whisper the unknown secrets and hardships of the past.

However, the space today is no longer the dwarves' former mine, but is occupied by an indescribable shadow force and transformed into a gloomy and strange nest.

Shadows here are no longer simply a lack of light, but have real life.

They entangled and intertwined, forming distorted faces and strange creatures of various shapes, as if they were nightmares crawling out of the abyss.

Inside the nest, the air was stagnant and filled with a suffocating chill.

From time to time, a low hum or a sharp whistle could be heard from the shadows.

That is an unknown life form that is gestating and stirring.

They seem to be waiting for the moment to break out of their cocoons and spread fear and destruction.

Occasionally, you can see some strange runes or patterns on the ground here, flashing a faint and evil light.

They seem to be the remnants of some ancient ritual, constantly absorbing power from the outside world.

Two figures suddenly appeared in this shadow nest.

"How is the situation outside now?"

A somewhat unreal voice appeared.

Although the speaker's face could not be seen clearly, his gentle look as he bent down and stroked the shadow monster revealed something weird.

"Not bad. Or rather good."

Another voice sounded, and it seemed quite complacent:
"Our ally is trying his best!"

"The people from the Dwarf Temple and the Royal Court were all fooled by him."

"Is that so?"

The voice before seemed to say without any ups and downs:
"If that's the case, then why don't you know that guy from the Church of the God of War is a legend?"

"You actually let that person escape, and you seem quite satisfied."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire space seemed to become solemn.

"Lord Lianen, I..."

The man who spoke shuddered all over, as if he remembered something horrible.

Even the voice was trembling.

"Relax, you are still of some use now."

Liann raised his hand and gently stroked the other man's forehead.

"So, don't let me down again, okay?"

"Do your own thing. I don't want you to become my child either."

"I don't think you would like to experience that feeling."

"Yes, Lord Liann."

The other person instantly became firm and swore:
"Please rest assured, you will not be disappointed."

In this shadowy space, Caleb is in danger.

Countless shadows around twisted and changed like living things, and suddenly turned into extremely strange blades.

These blades appeared and disappeared, as if shuttling between reality and illusion, carrying a cold and evil aura, and slashed towards Caleb fiercely.

Caleb's face was solemn, but there was no thought of giving up in his eyes.

He casually took out a black and red holy book and continued to perform the magic of the God of War.

A layer of blood-red light burst out from his body, like an invisible armor, wrapping him tightly.

This blood-colored armor flashed with a mysterious and powerful power. Every time the shadow blade slashed on it, it would cause a violent wave, but it was never able to break through this tough defense.

While resisting the attack of the Shadow Blade, Caleb was also actively exploring the surrounding space.

He performed different magics, and rays of light shot out from his hands, some streaking through the darkness like meteors, some burning like flames.
The light of these divine arts illuminated a small area around him, allowing him to see his surroundings clearly for a brief moment.

However, there are still shadows beyond the shadows.

There was no real help at all for Caleb.

He also didn't know why the other party suddenly attacked.

They were clearly communicating just now, but suddenly they started fighting.

Although Caleb was confident that he could hold on.

But when faced with such a strange scene, he was really unsure.

Not far away in the shadow space, Li Si was standing there.

He frowned and looked at Caleb in front of him.

The reason why Caleb was dragged into this shadow space was something he had planned in advance.

He recognized Caleb the night he saw him fighting the Sun Elf.

As a legendary strongman who often appears in the Church of the God of War, he is still quite well-known in subsequent versions.

Li Si also knew this person.

For Li Si, Caleb is a trustworthy person.

After all, Li Si has a pretty good relationship with the Church of the God of War.

After he achieved legendary success, the Pope of the Church of God of War specially arranged for people to congratulate Li Si.

However, since someone can pretend to be a sun elf, it is naturally possible for him to pretend to be Caleb.

Li Si needs to be more careful, so this shadow space exists.

In previous exchanges, he had roughly guessed what Caleb had been doing recently.

In that case, all we have to do is confirm his identity.

It might be a little more difficult to identify other people, but not Caleb.

As a legendary priest of the Church of the God of War, Li Si, who had been baptized by the God of War, could naturally determine Caleb's identity by feeling the breath of the God of War.

Now, after Li Si confirmed that Caleb was not someone in disguise, he withdrew his attack.

The shadows faded and his figure appeared before Caleb.

"you are?"

Caleb looked warily at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him.

For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

For some reason, the sense of danger coming from the surrounding shadowy space completely disappeared, and the weird and evil feeling from before was gone.

But Caleb did not put down the holy book in his hand. The light of divine power flickered faintly, ready to be unleashed.

"I'm Lis Kane."

Li Si looked at Caleb in front of him and said with a smile:

"I think you should know who I am?"

Lees Kane?

As soon as Caleb recalled the name, he realized that the other person was the one favored by the World Tree.

But why did he appear here?

Why attack him?
Why. Become so strong?
