continues, and the dwarves are indulging in the exquisite wines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Dwarf Kingdom is somewhat exclusive, Lonely Mountain City still has a number of outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, humans make up a considerable portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many humans come to Drum Mountain City, bringing a variety of exotic wines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the dwarves who don’t particularly chase after material pleasures, the wines are the most welcomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though ale is still the dwarves’ favorite drink, they wouldn’t turn down the chance to experience different flavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the dwarves are the most willing to spend money on this, so the profits from transporting wines are the highest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lonely Mountain City, there are several human-run taverns that are quite popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, during the Fiery Fire Festival, human figures can occasionally be seen mingling among the dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are also quite interested in the celebrations of the Dwarf Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb feels the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been busy for days without any significant results left him a bit frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Fiery Fire Festival came along, and he’s planning to experience the dwarves’ ale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s going to the tavern he intended to visit last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now it’s daytime, so he shouldn’t encounter attacks, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Legendary Day Elf has not appeared since that incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he and Richie have found several Evil God believers’ hideouts, they have found no related clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This has left Richie somewhat indecisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wondering if his assumptions were wrong, and that the Legendary Day Elf was indeed sent by the Elf Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb believes this possibility is very low, but he has no way to provide evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this matter can only continue as it is, without discovering new clues, it might remain stagnant here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just having become a Legend not long ago, he encounters such things, which leaves Kelleb quite vexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it’s obvious that this issue is not something one or two Legends can solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Kelleb temporarily puts these bothersome thoughts aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it’s time to relax!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Kelleb quite enjoys fine wines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, no Divine Officer of the War God Church dislikes fine wines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kelleb actually prefers the ale of the Dwarf Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those transported by trading caravans, from all sorts of exotic wines from the eastern Fanor Continent, Kelleb feels the dwarves’ brewed ale retains the purest malt aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rich and flavorful, lingering aftertaste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Kelleb heads towards the tavern he remembers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sudden change occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner of a small alley, at the dim corner of the wall, an imperceptible Shadow quietly stealthed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, just an interplay of light and dust, yet now it seemed to be awoken by some indescribable strength, starting to slither slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an unusual awakening from slumber, each expansion and contraction brought with it a peculiar rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Kelleb noticing, the Shadow suddenly erupted with unprecedented speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its volume expanded at a remarkable speed, and in a flash transformed into a gigantic, unfathomable Abyssal maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the giant maw formed by this Shadow, it was pitch black, exuding a chilling, horrifying aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb was yet to sense anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His footsteps were light, possibly his mind was still immersed in previous thoughts, completely unaware of the impending upheaval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, the Abyssal maw suddenly opened wide, with a thunderous motion swallowed Kelleb whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything occurred so suddenly that Kelleb didn’t even have time to react before being tightly wrapped by the eerie Shadow, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After engulfing Kelleb, the Shadow slowly retracted, eventually reverting to the seemingly harmless corner Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one around noticed the transformation that occurred here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened too fast, Kelleb had no time to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb’s consciousness gradually awoke amidst the chaos, only to find himself in an unimaginable alternate dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His surroundings were no longer Lonely Mountain City, but an eerie domain woven from Shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to move his steps but felt each step trod upon nothingness, echoing hollow and heavy footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Shadow Space seemed alive, breathing and slithering, instilling Kelleb with a certain indescribable sense of oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, the eye’s reach was limited to just beyond ten meters ahead, beyond which lay deep, unknowable darkness, seemingly harboring countless secrets and dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous Shadows circled around Kelleb, entwining, at times reverting to a lifeless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense the malice and surveillance embedded in these Shadows, as if countless eyes lay hidden in the dark, silently observing his every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelleb was overcome with an inexplicable sense of danger, yet he was aware, at this moment he must remain calm, seeking a method to escape this bizarre space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to meticulously observe the surrounding environment, striving to find any possible clues or exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Shadow Space seemed a perfect cage, no matter his efforts, he couldn’t find any clues or hints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kelleb prepared to unleash all his strength, attempting to break through this Space, a voice suddenly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Kelleb, the Legendary Priest of the War God Church?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",855,"2026-06-03T10:58:51.595Z","2026-06-03T10:58:57.738Z",1,"novelbin.me","f94c4c1d5093779cc81d052d0d464f58e27ff24680e2c6bf3d9c60c33fc96077","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1200","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1198",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
