present.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, even if there were, I don’t think it would threaten Lis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shen Shidandan] hesitates a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he thinks Beast has... some rationale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, we’ll just send more intel to Lis when the time comes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Beast, Let Go of That Monster] says confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shen Shidandan] nods as well, thinking Beast might be right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the reason they were able to join the Dark Elf side in the first place was unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They previously accepted a task from the Church of the Gods to investigate various regions of the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such dangerous missions are most suitable for them as undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they die, they can be resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using undead lives to push progress is the cheapest and fastest method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And players are quite willing, as their impact on the frontlines isn’t much, and the rewards they earn aren’t that great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better to go as scouts into the Underground City to explore those unknown areas for potential gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for ordinary players like [Shen Shidandan].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like [Shen Shidandan], [Beast, Let Go of That Monster] was captured by the Dark Elves during exploration in the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power gap was too significant, and the moment they met, both instantly \"blacked out,\" knocked unconscious by that Dark Elf team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, both thought they were done for, waiting to be resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, they discovered the game notifying them that they were in a state of slumber, unable to resurrect or control their game characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they were able to regain consciousness and control themselves, they found themselves at this gathering point in the Underground City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time of observation, they realized this should be a stronghold of the Dark Elves in Kaleel Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this stronghold, quite a number of Dark Elves were active, and there were signs of other humans coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through observation, they discovered those humans seemed to be collaborating with the Dark Elves, followers of other evil gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After both woke up, some Dark Elves came to see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main purpose was to recruit them to serve Spider Queen Rose and the Dark Elf Queen who led this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, players rarely entered the Underground City, so Dark Elves knew little about the undead, meaning the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the 4.0 version began, officially confronting the Church of the Gods, they truly noticed how troublesome the players were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, the players’ fearless, self-sacrificing tactics caused significant trouble for the Dark Elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Dark Elves could control frightening numbers of Abyssal Demons, defeating the Church of the Gods was still far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current stalemate is partially due to the unique environment of the underground layers, giving the Dark Elves a considerable advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, both sides are still probing each other, with intense battles yet to truly commence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now is the time for both parties to amass strength and look for each other’s weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Dark Elves are focusing on the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the players, even if they can be resurrected, their current strength doesn’t make much impact on the frontlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now the players are working for the Church of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The well-resourced, wealthy Church of the Gods naturally wants to leverage the advantages of the undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, whenever there’s a disadvantage, players are sent in with all kinds of alchemy bombs and magic bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic causes the Dark Elves considerable losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, in the Underground City, large war weapons like the Magic Energy Cannon were inconvenient to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While flexible forces like Abyssal Demons have a significant advantage in various dungeon skirmishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, facing players carrying all kinds of bombs also incurs loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though players lack strength, entangling Abyssal Demons briefly is manageably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then sending in bomb-laden daredevil squads can really shake the Abyssal Demons up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, powerful magic bombs aren’t abundantly stored even by the Church of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Lis leading the Pan-Continent Mage Association to join the alliance, the situation improved greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the daily production of magic energy element bombs from Kane Floating City, significantly covering the shortfall of the Church Alliance Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis definitely doesn’t skimp on bomb compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the involvement of Lis and the Pan-Continent Mage Association, this unique combat style frequently appears across all dungeon battle lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Elves aren’t foolish; they can’t keep suffering these losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing and gathering intelligence, they understood the existence of the undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, they noticed that these undead don’t seem entirely to be subordinates of the Church of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They resemble mercenaries or hirelings; as long as they receive enough pay, they’ll enthusiastically work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Dark Elves captured many players, intending to \"persuade\" them to fight for their side.\u003C\u002Fp>",810,"2026-06-03T10:59:03.386Z","2026-06-03T10:59:11.932Z",1,"novelbin.me","63e6669b41b09698ef2dbfb5f6e15fd7de8ff897547a73119107f7575a22e10c","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1624","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1623",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
