I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Atop West Castle.

Even as Dillon Kingdom's most elite soldiers dressed in thick clothes, Abbas's Snow Wolf Army couldn't entirely withstand the cold winds and snow of the valley.

That was the Snow Wolf Army, otherwise ordinary craftsmen or soldiers couldn't have endured the harsh winter of the Luoxue Mountains.

The deputy of the Snow Wolf Army, Frank, was inspecting the construction site at the castle, checking the progress of the construction, and promptly attending to soldiers who had passed out in the cold.

"Lord Frank, Master Max has already arrived at the camp at the valley entrance with the team of Magic Rune Masters and is now heading towards the castle."

A messenger ran up to Frank in small steps, saluting and speaking respectfully.

"Very good, follow me to greet them."

Frank's eyes lit up, he had finally awaited these people.

The enchantment of West Castle's walls was a huge project, and even Max, as a Master of Enchantment of Dillon Kingdom, couldn't complete this task alone.

Thus, a team of Magic Rune Masters was needed to assist Max with the subsequent work.

Such a gesture could only be afforded by a kingdom-level power like Dillon Kingdom.

After reporting to Abbas in the morning, Frank had immediately ordered someone to notify Max and others who were waiting in a small town outside the Luoxue Mountains.

The earlier the castle's enchantment and the magic array were completed, the sooner Frank could be at ease, allowing his men a chance to breathe sooner.

When Frank reached the entrance of the valley, he saw a line of tiny black dots in the snowstorm, slowly making their way through the valley's accumulated snow, heading towards the castle.

After waiting for a moment, Frank saw his lieutenant leading a group of people towards him.

Frank quickly stepped forward to greet an elderly man who was closely protected within the group.

"Lord Max, it must have been tough for you to come here in such adverse weather."

As Frank approached near Max, he felt the warmth emanating from him, as if the harsh cold couldn't even get close to the old man.

This must be the effect of a special magic item.

However, Frank didn't envy him; the cost of such high-level magic items, not to mention their intrinsic value, was beyond what ordinary people could afford, just in the consumption of elemental crystals alone.

Not to mention equipping all soldiers with them.

"Hmm."

Max nodded his head indifferently, not caring too much.

Honestly, he didn't want to come in such weather, but it was a request from the Dillon Kingdom, and as a servant of the kingdom, he couldn't refuse.

"Let us start earlier and finish earlier."

"First, take me to see the castle."

Max looked at Frank and nodded.

"Ah? But Lord Abbas is currently waiting for you in the tent, do you want to go there first?"

Upon hearing Max's request, Frank's expression froze slightly, hesitatingly suggesting.

"No need."

Max shook his head calmly.

"Without seeing the situation on the ground, talking to Abbas later won't be productive."

"This... alright then."

Frank thought for a moment and agreed, leading the group towards the castle.

As a request from a Magic Rune Master, Frank had no way to refuse.

...

"This is the under-construction West Castle. Though the main body isn't completed yet, the walls are finished; you can start the preliminary work now."

Frank pointed at the confirmed deep gray walls, introducing them to Max and his team.

Max didn't respond but walked forward, touching the deep gray wall and nodding, saying:

"High-quality Gray Obsidian, the kingdom has indeed spent a great cost."

Gray Obsidian, is a type of rather heavy and hard stone, of which the high-quality variants are scarce, and specially suited for enchantment operations.

Therefore, it is also the top material for constructing walls.

The inherent value of these Gray Obsidian bricks is not low, having been specially refined and transported here from afar at a significant cost of manpower and resources.

This cost is much greater than simply collecting stones from Luoxue Mountain right at the source.

Walls built with Gray Obsidian possess extremely strong defense against various physical attacks, the only disadvantage being their low endurance against magic attacks.

This is why Abbas was so eager to have the Magic Rune Master hurry to perform enchantments.

Only after the enchantment was complete did West Castle truly have real defensive capabilities.

"It troubles you, Lord Max."

Frank said respectfully.

"No problem, pull one-third of your people to assist me."

"Also, have someone send over the materials I need, quickly."

Once entering the normal work status, Max also became seriously engaged. Continue reading at empire

"Yes, I understand,"

Frank nodded his head, prepared to turn around and make the arrangements when.

"...Lo... Lord Frank!"

The subordinate squad leader appeared to have seen something terrifying, speaking in a panic.

"Look at the sky, there's a meteor flying this way, a meteor!"

Upon hearing this, Frank quickly looked up in the direction his subordinate indicated.

Amid the floating snowflakes a hundred meters in midair, a giant blue meteor was falling towards the castle, its speed increasing rapidly.

Wrong!

This was no meteor!

This was an enemy's spell!

Damn it!

"Enemy attack! Alert!"

Frank released strength within his body, his loud voice immediately spreading throughout the entire castle grounds.

What to do?

Had Lord Abbas noticed?

Frank could already feel the threatening presence from the sky; this was no ordinary spell, it was undoubtedly of Gold Level power.

...

Lis, using the "Advanced Floating Technique," rose into the midair, where the heavy snow was intense, but all were kept away from Lis's body by the shield surrounding him, unable to get close.

Lis looked detachedly at the Blue Flame Meteor falling in front of him, heading towards the deep gray castle below.

Six-Circle Arcane "Lis's Blue Flame Nova"!

This was an arcane that Lis created during his journey through Luoxue Mountain.

Perhaps it was because Lis had accumulated too much, thought and tried too many ideas, after obtaining "Sphinx's Wisdom," and receiving the arcane revelations from the Legendary-level accessory, Lis felt as if he had received enlightenment, and many new ideas emerged, breaking through many previous confusions and difficulties.

He consequently created many new unique arcanes!

This Six-Circle Arcane "Lis's Blue Flame Nova" was one of them.

Moreover, this arcane was quite unique among all of Lis's arcanes, released mid-air and gathering enough strength while falling from a high altitude, its speed continuously increasing, under these factors, the power of this Six-Circle Arcane could break through the Gold Level!

This was also the reason why Lis chose to use this arcane at this time.

Come!

Let's see if there are any powerful beings in this castle.
