I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 705: Shadow's Nest
Dwarven Mine,

When the figure appeared next to Philip, the members of the [Nature's Wrath] team beside him were all startled.

They all raised their weapons, ready to attack immediately.

But when they saw the appearance of that person, everyone looked relieved.

The elf warriors of [Nature's Wrath] all knelt on one knee, bowed their heads and said respectfully:

"Lord Li Si!"

The same thing happened to Chandelle, who was standing next to Philip. She knelt on one knee with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

As the leader of [Nature's Wrath], Li Si's appearance here is the greatest confidence for the [Nature's Wrath] elven warriors.

After achieving his legend and arranging matters in Port Danlo and Cain's Floating City, Li Si made a special trip back to the Elf Kingdom.

At that time, in addition to reaching a cooperation with King Hadad of the Elf Kingdom, the other thing he did was to stay in [Nature's Wrath] for a period of time.

After Li Si achieved legendary status, [Wrath of Nature] finally had a real backbone.

After all, as a supernatural organization, even with the support of the Elf Kingdom, it will not have much confidence without legendary strongmen.

Everything was different after Li Si became a legend.

Moreover, for Li Si, who is favored by the World Tree, the meaning of achieving legend is completely different.

After Li Si became a legend, [Wrath of Nature] received even greater support.

Not only are there more elves willing to join [Nature's Wrath], but they are also receiving more resource support from the Elf Council of the Emerald City.

Even King Hadad took the initiative to arrange for people to contact Nature's Wrath and provided quite generous support, but he did not make any demands.

Xiandaier and the others all understood that this was the change brought about by Li Si.

What's more, the purpose of Li Si's formation of [Nature's Wrath] also made these young elven warriors more eager to devote themselves to the cause of destroying the abyss demons.

[Wrath of Nature] All elven warriors have great respect and trust for Li Si, the founder.

The elven warriors who followed Philip to Lonely Mountain City were all elites among the [Wrath of Nature].

Basically, they are all the elves that joined in the first few batches when Li Si formed [Nature's Wrath].

They were all familiar with Li Si.

And now, they felt Li Si's terrifying yet noble aura, and only awe remained in their hearts.

Philip, who was standing by, was not as surprised as Chandel and the others.

The moment Li Si appeared, he noticed Li Si.

However, Li Si's speed still made him feel a little surprised.

Now he felt a great sense of threat from Li Si.

Philip could feel that he no longer seemed to be a match for Li Si.

How long has it been since he became a legend?
Is it already so strong?
Philip felt a little emotional.

When Li Si first appeared in front of him, he just thought that Li Si was a good human professional.

These few years were just a short period of time in the lives of the elves, but Philip witnessed the rise of a powerful man with his own eyes.

And it is foreseeable that Li Si may reach a higher peak.

This was a huge shock to Philip.

However, as an elf, Philip was still happy about Li Si's growing strength.

After all, the crisis facing the Elf Kingdom is not small now.

Whether it is the secret surveillance of the evil god's followers or the threat from the demon prince, the elves need more powerful strength and more reliable teammates.

Otherwise, the Elf Kingdom, which has always been closed, would not take the initiative to open up and contact and cooperate with the Church of the Gods.

As a legend resident in the Emerald Capital, Philip feels this more clearly.

He discovered that without him noticing, the strength of the human kingdoms in the outside world had become much stronger, and was very different from when Philip had traveled before.

Although a single human kingdom is nothing to the Elf Forest.

However, under the leadership of the Church of the Gods, the human kingdom of Fanor has become much stronger than the Forest of Elves.

Philip thought of this and couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

How great would it be if the elves could just wake up sooner and not be as closed and conservative as before?
But it’s not too late now.

With the Emerald City, Nature's Wrath and Li Si, the World Tree-Follower, there shouldn't be any problems.

Li Si did not notice Philip's momentary distraction, but motioned to Xiandaier and the others to stand up, then looked at Philip and asked:
"Philip, why did you come to Lonely Mountain City?"

"You brought Xiandel and the others with you. You brought the most elite warriors of Nature's Wrath with you, right?"

When the elf warriors of [Nature's Wrath] heard Li Si's words, they couldn't help but straighten their chests.

"Of course it's not that I'm bored and the CIA is here. It's all the trouble caused by that so-called 'Sun Elf'."

Philip smiled and shook his head, then told Li Si about the transaction between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom.

"Is that so?"

Li Si really didn't expect that the Preston Dwarf King could do such a thing.

What an extraordinary skill! No wonder he could control the dwarf kingdom so firmly.

Not long after Li Si entered the mine, he felt a familiar breath.

In particular, he noticed the mark of [Nature's Wrath] left on the rock wall of the mine.

Since his men have come to Gushan City, the first thing to do is of course to find them.

So Li Si changed the order first.

Following them, Li Si quickly found Philip and the others.

"Why did you suddenly come to Lonely Mountain City? If I had known, I would have brought people to look for you first."

Philip said to Li Si with a smile.

He naturally believed in Li Si's strength and skills, otherwise he would not have been able to negotiate cooperation with the Church of the Gods on behalf of the Elf Kingdom.

"Due to some unexpected events, I happened to run into the conspiracy of those evil god believers in Gushan City, so I stayed here temporarily."

"I haven't communicated with the Dwarf King's Court yet. Philip, don't tell them that I'm also in Lonely Mountain City."

Li Si waved his hand and said.

He naturally couldn't tell Philip that he was the legendary day elf in disguise from the beginning.

It just so happened that this image was later exploited by followers of the evil god.

At the same time, Li Si was also reminding Philip not to tell the Dwarf King about his last visit to Lonely Mountain City.

He is still thinking about the magic ring in Molten Core!

What if the Dwarf King knew that he was in Lonely Mountain, and later discovered that he was the one who took away the magic ring that was equivalent to the holy weapon of the Dwarfs?

It's hard not to associate this with the dwarf king.

Li Si didn't want to cause so much trouble.

Although Philip felt a little strange about Li Si's request, he nodded and agreed.

Anyway, Li Si is also an elven sage of the Elf Kingdom, so he will have an excuse if he is really discovered.

"By the way, aren't you looking for the lair of those shadow monsters?"

Li Si remembered something and asked Philip:

"Why were you guys walking around in circles when I came here just now?"

"Forehead"

Philip was a little helpless and rubbed his hair embarrassedly.

"Well, it's because the aura here is too weak, and I haven't found the right direction yet."

Philip thought about it and told the truth without hiding it. Although it was a bit embarrassing, the more important thing now was to find the lair of those shadow monsters as soon as possible and capture those evil god believers.

"That's it"

Li Si nodded slightly.

He also understood that as a legendary alchemist, Philip had many alchemical items with magical and powerful effects, and his strength in head-on combat was also quite strong.

However, if you are not familiar with these shadow forces originating from the shadow plane, it is indeed difficult to discover their traces.

But this was not a problem for Li Si.

"By the way, let me introduce you to a friend."

Li Si said to the distance.

Caleb stepped out from the shadows in the distance and came in front of Philip.

Philip could naturally feel the powerful legendary aura of Caleb and understood that he was also a legendary strong man.

"This is Bishop Caleb of the Church of the God of War. He is going with me to find the lair of the evil god's followers."

"It's an honor to meet you, Caleb."

"Hello, Philip."

The two of them simply greeted each other and got to know each other.

Caleb didn't find it strange that Li Si had a good relationship with these elves.

Just kidding, Li Si is almost a family with the elves.

Even as a human being, he can represent the Elf Kingdom and talk to the Church of the Gods. Is there anything else to say about this relationship?

Naturally, after Li Si and Caleb joined, the command of the team was also handed over to Li Si.

Li Si didn't say anything polite and led everyone directly into the depths of the mine.

Having mastered the power of shadow, he could clearly distinguish the differences in the auras of those shadow monsters.

So, things that seem troublesome to others seem as easy to Li Si as if they were guided by road signs.

Li Si led everyone forward directly, without any hesitation even when they encountered a fork in the road.

It meandered for a long distance.

At this time, the surrounding mines looked like no one had been there for a long time, with randomly discarded weathered debris and some damaged roads everywhere.

Moreover, the mines here are getting smaller and smaller, so much so that everyone can only bend down as much as possible to move forward.

It was indeed quite troublesome to advance in this way, but after Li Si and Philip used the fossil-turning mud and cleaning spells, they were still able to move forward.

At this moment, Li Si suddenly stopped.

Philip and Caleb also stopped when they saw this.

And Xiandel led the elven warriors to instantly become alert to the surrounding situation.

Li Si lowered his head and said:

"I can feel that the lair of those shadow monsters should be ahead."

"However, I didn't feel any breath of life, which is a bit strange."

After mastering the legendary realm of [Life], Li Si became extremely sensitive to the breath of life.

But that was in the space in front of the passage. Apart from the extremely dense shadow force that was almost turning into substance, Li Si did not feel any sign of life.

Even believers of evil gods should not behave like this.

Or, the opponent is very powerful and can hide from Li Si's perception.

Or, the other party has some special means that can completely block his own breath.

Li Si tends to prefer the latter.

But even so, if there really are believers of the evil god, they are at least legendary.

Philip and Caleb nodded, understanding what Li Si meant.

Li Si turned to Xiandaier beside him and said:
"Philip, Caleb, and I will go in."

"Xindel, you and the others guard this cave entrance. Remember not to let any shadow monsters escape."

"Yes, Lord Li Si."

Xiandel nodded and responded in a clear voice.

She is not a child anymore, so she can naturally distinguish between priorities.

At this time, if they went in without legendary strength, they would only cause trouble for Li Si and others.

Li Si nodded, his own men were very useful.

Li Si took a few steps forward.

However, he did not move forward towards the front of the passage, but came to the rock wall in the front right.

Li Si stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the rock wall in front of him.

After a few seconds, the place that seemed no different from the surrounding rock walls suddenly turned into a deep gray.

It was like a perfectly hidden curtain, with Li Si unveiling a corner of it.

Li Si nodded to Philip and Caleb and walked in first.

"Tsk, I didn't feel anything at all."

Philip shook his head and followed Li Si in.

Caleb naturally said nothing and followed closely behind in silence.

This time, he followed Li Si and saw a lot of things.

This also made him realize that becoming a legend is not the end, and there is a brighter future ahead of him.

At least, the current Li Si is beyond his reach.

After Li Si and the other two entered, the shadow passage did not disappear.

Xiandel personally kept a close eye on the shadow passage to prevent any person or monster from escaping from it.

The other elven warriors dispersed and guarded this section of the mine.

Behind this shadow passage is a rather vast space.

However, under the influence of the strong shadow force, there was no light in this space.

But for Li Si, who possesses dark vision, it is nothing.

Philip and Caleb soon came behind Li Si and looked at the underground space with some caution.

Obviously, this dark environment had no effect on the two of them.

"Tsk, that's really disgusting."

"I didn't expect that followers of the Shadow King could do this!"

Li Si murmured.

The space in front of him was shrouded in a thick and sticky darkness. Light lost its meaning here, leaving only endless darkness.

The entire space is extremely vast, but it is not empty.

The mountain in front of us was hollowed out into an intricate structure, like a giant ant nest that had been eroded by countless years and drilled with countless holes by some indescribable force.

These holes vary in size and shape. Some are as narrow as a crack, barely enough for one person to pass through sideways; others are as spacious as a hall, large enough for several people to stand side by side.

But without exception, they all exude a creepy and strange atmosphere.

Each hole seemed to be an independent little world, filled with the same aura as the shadow monsters that had wreaked havoc in Lonely Mountain City before.

"Welcome to my shadow nest!"
