gather more information from Kent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, Kent certainly posed no threat to Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After merging with the Shadow Nest, Kent could only use those Shadow Monsters to wear down Lis and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Lis, who mastered the Shadow Jump, he could leave anytime he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Lis appeared quite confident, as if he had nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Kent’s view, Lis’s demeanor clearly indicated that he was confident in his situation, and even had the assurance to forcibly kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Kent knew he was almost in a state of Undying Body, it was his first time facing another legend directly, and he truly felt somewhat unconfident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he didn’t know was that Lis really had no good method to deal with him currently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way to target Kent was to separate him from the merged Shadow Nest, cutting off his connection to the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Lis had no solution to deal with Kent in this state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis just wanted to test Kent, then planned to leave with Philip and Kelleb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for taking this risk was because, realizing Kent’s secret, Lis became curious about the Shadow King Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, the peculiarities on Kent were quite extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very likely that the Shadow King intervened, allowing Kent to connect with the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was evident that such a rare occurrence must have cost the Shadow King a great deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Shadow King, doing such a thing for a legend must have been unprofitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the Shadow King had other motives in connecting Kent to the Shadow Plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kent, being scared away by Lis so easily, should also be because Lonely Mountain City was not their final target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, they were just letting Kent test the waters, to get some early practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the number of Shadow Monsters bred in the Shadow Nest was still substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all those Shadow Monsters had charged into Lonely Mountain City at the start, the destruction would have been even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lis couldn’t help but shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking further wouldn’t be of any use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Kent had left, even if the Shadow King Church had other plans, it should settle down too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kelleb and Philip briefly inspected the underground space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, neither of them found anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that should be it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis said to the two:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll leave directly in a bit, Kelleb, you and Philip go out together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inform the Dwarves of the situation here, and they will naturally arrange personnel to handle things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Directly dealing with the Shadow Monsters’ nest and driving away those Evil God believers should satisfy that Dwarf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By then, the dispute between the Dwarf Royal Court and the Elf Kingdom should be over, Philip, you can report back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you, Kelleb, the Dwarf Royal Court shouldn’t find excuses to obstruct cooperation with the War God Church anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis said with a smile to the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lis, what about you, aren’t you coming back with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip looked at Lis, shook his head, and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, as I mentioned before, I have other matters in Lonely Mountain City, and I can’t let those Dwarves know I’m here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kent knows, but surely the news won’t reach the Dwarves in the short term.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see, understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip gave Lis a meaningful look, and a slight smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis’s presence in Lonely Mountain City initially made him curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed, Lis wasn’t planning any good deeds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip had no objections to this; instead, he fully supported it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the relations between the Elf Clan and the Dwarf Clan were inherently bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the dire situation of the Elf Kingdom, they wouldn’t even consider sending Philip to help the Dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So knowing that Lis might have malicious intentions, Philip felt quite pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impulse to be a bystander was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Philip was naturally willing to keep Lis’s secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Kelleb, he had even fewer objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when Lis took him into the Shadow Space, he felt a bit of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That elusive ability was quite troublesome for Kelleb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lis’s adept conduct within the Shadow Nest further intimidated Kelleb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if this incident ended here, Kelleb could continue representing the War God Church in cooperation with the Dwarf Royal Court, and Lis, in effect, did Kelleb a great favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding matters not involving himself or the War God Church, Kelleb naturally didn’t mind doing Lis a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing both of them agree to Lis’s request, Lis didn’t bring up any other issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving that space, Lis briefly chatted with Cendelle and the others, then left alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to Lonely Mountain City,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce battle that had previously erupted in the city had now completely settled, and the terrifying Shadow Octopus Monster and Dwarf King were nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the battle-damaged buildings throughout the city and the temple priests attending to the wounded, it would have seemed as if the great battle had never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he slowly walked towards the Iron Hammer Workshop, Lis watched the Dwarves cleaning up the traces of battle in the city, contemplating the events that had just occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>",892,"2026-06-03T10:58:52.165Z","2026-06-03T10:58:58.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","948eeacc4789ef06d51eda9dfbe53992a8e358b05bd0e063329b52a11dd7ba24","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1216","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1214",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
