I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 646 - 424 [Blood Protection]_2

Chapter 646 -424 [Blood Protection]_2

A gentle sigh echoed in the room, and in an instant, the black currents throughout the room began to fluctuate, swarming towards the cracks of the coffin like swallows returning to their nest.

In a moment, all the darkness in the room had dissipated, and Lis’s eyes returned to normal, revealing the grayish stone brick floor and walls.

Angela saw that Burns had awoken and swiftly flew back to perch on Lis’s shoulder.

She even waved her little claws at Lis, as if to offer a reward.

Lis could only say it was impressive, just like when he moved items from Mr. Stephens’s warehouse.

“You’ve arrived?”

The voice of Burns rose from the coffin, filled with fatigue, speaking feebly.

It seemed that Burns had no intention of climbing out of the coffin.

“Greetings, Lord Burns.”

Even though he wasn’t sure if Burns could see him, Lis bowed again.

After all, this powerful figure had truly saved his life and had allowed him to take Benfica’s head, granting him a significant leap in strength.

Even though Burns might not understand the significance of this, Lis still kept it in mind.

“It’s nothing.”

Burns didn’t care much about it.

In their effort to avoid the pursuit of the Abyss Evil God, the Blood Clan had always concealed their identities.

But dealing with a Legendary Vampire that had appeared right under his watch was no problem at all.

Moreover, Burns had relied on the power of Cain to sever the link between Benfica and the backing Evil God, so he wasn’t concerned about any further consequences.

“May I inquire as to why you have summoned me here? Do you have any tasks for me?”

Lis asked respectfully, looking at the coffin before him.

As an experienced player, Lis was well aware that Burns would not have summoned him without good reason.

He knew that, in this era, even Gold-level professionals would find it extremely difficult to meet a Legend.

Lis had been able to meet and become a disciple of Mr. Stephens with ease, thanks to Uncle Joyce.

Otherwise, Lis would have needed to achieve a tremendous feat at the Royal Magic Academy, eclipsing all other students for just a slight chance to meet the academy’s principal, “Judgement Flame” Stephens.

This was no joking matter!

Keep in mind that Bernie Bevin’s teacher, Magic Rune Master Yousef Daher, had even chosen to join the Magic Academy and form a deep association just to have a chance of meeting Stephens.

Even so, he only managed to gain the possibility to meet Stephens and still had to wait for Stephens to return from his travels.

Therefore, Lis becoming a disciple of Stephens was entirely thanks to Uncle Joyce’s help.

Of course, after that, Lis’s talent and performance also greatly satisfied Stephens.

So much so that Stephens allowed Lis to empty the warehouse of the First Magic Workshop.

“In fact, I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time.”

Burns’s voice sounded, and for some reason, Lis sensed a hint of amusement in his words.

“When I first received the oracle from Lord Cain, which mentioned the existence of the Divine Son Angela, it also referred to you.”

“I was quite curious that you, at that time, could also be aware of the existence of Lord Cain.”

“This…”

Lis was taken aback, not expecting such news from Burns.

In Bright City, when Marion came looking for Angela, he had a vague suspicion that it might be related to his prayer to Cain within “McGwire’s Death Tomb.”

He knew that if it wasn’t for his clearing the dungeon, “McGwire’s Death Tomb” would likely have been destroyed by the forces of the Feis Kingdom.

With Princess Taya Fis trapped in that secret realm, the Kingdom would undoubtedly not abandon the rescue mission.

The appearance of the “McGwire’s Death Tomb” dungeon in the public domain indicated that this secret realm must have been obliterated at that time.

Angela was undoubtedly subdued in the process, after all, her behavior showed no difference from that of a Golden-level Vampire.

She didn’t even know about her own Blood Clan heritage, let alone the Feis Kingdom.

In a way, Lis had also helped Angela avoid a deadly fate.

However, Lis didn’t harbor any additional thoughts because of this; his interactions with Angela made him see the adorable, gluttonous creature as a true friend early on.

“I’m sorry for offending Lord Cain in a moment of desperation; please forgive me.”

Uncertain of Burns’s intentions, Lis responded.

“Haha, don’t be nervous, I should be thanking you for helping us bring back the Divine Son.”

Burns’s aged voice carried a touch of warmth.

“This time I’ve asked you to come because there is indeed something I need you for,”

“Angela has already completed her inheritance from Lord Cain, but she has a long way to go before she truly masters this power.”

“Unlike Marion, there are things Angela needs to experience firsthand to understand.”

“What do you mean?”

Lis, somewhat surprised, asked as he looked at the coffin before him.

“I want Angela to stay by your side, just like before.”

“Don’t worry, as long as she doesn’t encounter a Legendary being, her strength is more than enough for self-protection.”

Lis remembered the power Angela had summoned that night and couldn’t help but smirk.

What a joke, that wasn’t just for self-protection, it was enough to wreak havoc beneath the level of Legend.

However, the price for using that kind of power must be considerable, it cannot be used lightly.

Days had passed, and Angela still hadn’t completely recovered from her weakened state.

“Of course, there’s no problem. On the contrary, having Angela by my side provides me with even greater assistance,”

Lis agreed, and Angela expressed her happy mood by scratching at his clothes with her little paws.

Lis would have agreed even if it were something more difficult.

After all, Lord Burns had saved his life; Lis was not an ungrateful person.

“That’s good.”

“I hope, Angela, that you can grow faster. Understand?”

Listening to Lord Burns’s voice, Angela quickly nodded and said,

“No problem, you can completely trust Lis.”

“Hehe…”

Lord Burns chuckled lightly, not minding Angela’s attitude.

“Lord Cain knows of your existence and has asked me to bring you a gift.”

A gift?

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Lis was curious, and then he saw a crimson drop of blood suddenly fly out from the luxurious coffin, heading straight for his forehead.

What is this?

Lis frowned slightly but did not dodge.

Lord Burns was not likely to harm him.

As the crimson drop of blood entered Lis’s forehead, he immediately felt a surge of pure power spreading out from there, causing his blood to surge and his face to flush red in an instant.

Ding~

[You’ve received the Blessing of Cain, the God of Darkness and Blood!]

[You have gained the specialty [Blood Protection]!]

[Specialty [Blood Protection]: Under the divine protection of Cain, the God of Darkness and Blood. Your Endurance Attribute is increased by an additional 20%, and you have a high chance of gaining powerful bloodthirsty, hemostatic and rejuvenating effects during combat.]

…

[You have touched the mighty power of a deity!]

[Your progress in analyzing Divine Power: 10%]

—————–

Whew~

A new divine protection originating from Cain, the Bloodline Ancestor.

Lis felt the changes within his body, knowing that Cain’s divine gift was not limited to the demonstrated specialty [Blood Protection] on the panel.

His body was being strengthened in the shadows, bolstering the toughness of his muscles, flexibility, and many other aspects.

It was a much greater enhancement than the one brought by [Silver Moon Protection].

Although [Silver Moon Protection] was powerful, it came with considerable restrictions.

Only when Lis was bathed in moonlight could the specialty [Silver Moon Protection] be triggered, and so far, it had only come into play during his battles with [Blood Shark] Patrick and in Kate City.

But [Blood Protection] was different. The unconditional 20% increase in Endurance Attribute alone was powerful, not to mention the blood-related domain statuses that could be triggered in combat were quite potent as well.

An idea occurred to Lis.

Coming to Burns Territory this time was a huge win!
