I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 1627 - 899: Secrets of the Abyss Lord (2)
In its hollow eye sockets burned a ghostly green flame, as if it contained endless resentment and hatred.
This Bone Dragon already had near legendary strength. It let out a roar, spread its wings, and its massive body soared into the air.
It dragged Garrison’s body, circling in the air.
The Bone Dragon’s movements were agile and nimble, as if a real living dragon was soaring.
Soon, the two Abyss Lords were battling again.
Dominic grew angrier upon seeing his attack easily dissolved.
He roared, the flames on his body burning even more intensely, as if to ignite the entire Abyss Plane.
He wanted to get as close as possible to Garrison, to deliver a fatal blow and end the battle.
So, he took gigantic strides towards Garrison, each step shaking the space and scattering countless fragments of stone.
Meanwhile, Garrison calmly controlled the Bone Dragon, skillfully distancing himself from Dominic.
He knew full well the sharpness of Dominic at this moment and did not wish to engage in a head-on clash.
At the same time, he chanted continuously under his breath, waving his hands to cast countless Undead Spells.
Streaks of black magic light shot from his hands, transforming into various negative statuses like curses, weakness, sluggishness, etc., all applied to Dominic.
These negative effects, like maggots feeding on bones, continuously weakened Dominic’s strength, slowing his movements, and diminishing his power.
However, being a Legendary Fire Demon, Dominic’s Demon Fire burned hotter, as if it could scorch all evil.
With his tenacious will and immense strength, he continued to pursue Garrison.
He traced arcs of flame in the air, darting like a meteor, attempting to break through Garrison’s defenses.
The battle between the two Abyss Lords was exceptionally fierce, each attack and defense contained immense power.
The aftermath of the battle occasionally spread to the Abyss Battlefield below, where a brutal slaughter between demons and the undead was ongoing.
The fallout, like a violent storm, killed both demons and undead instantly wherever it swept through.
For a time, the battlefield below descended into chaos.
Corpses of demons and white bones of the undead piled up like mountains, with blood staining the earth red.
However, neither demons nor undead showed any intention of avoiding the fight.
To them, the reason for this war didn’t matter anymore; they had long placed their lives and deaths beyond consideration.
Lis observed the brutal slaughter before him with a cold gaze.
Yet, in the face of such a bloody and terrifying scene, Lis’s expression did not change in the slightest.
His gaze was calm like a bottomless cold pond, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the battle of the two Abyss Lords above.
In Lis’s eyes, there was nothing particularly special about their battle.
Although the strength of these two Abyss Lords was indeed incredibly powerful, to Lis, this was ultimately just a clash between Legendary Strongmen.
He had long seen too many battles like this, and in front of him, there were no particular secrets to this battle.
The battle methods of the Legendary Fire Demon Dominic were brutal but simple, practically overwhelming with force.
Compared to the seemingly more mysterious Legendary Lich Garrison.
Garrison was proficient in Undead Magic, capable of summoning thousands of undead creatures to fight for him, with various Undead Spells being bizarrely evil.
However, to Lis, Garrison’s Undead Magic held no particular novelty.
Lis had already grasped the essence of Undead Magic, and in some areas, was even more proficient than Garrison.
What intrigued Lis more was the control these two Abyss Lords had over Abyss Power.
Lis watched the battle of the two Abyss Lords intently, carefully observing their every move.
He tried to glean some secrets about the Abyss Lords and Abyss Power from their battle.
After observing the fierce battle for a while, Lis, leveraging his keen insight and extensive knowledge, gradually began to decipher some secrets of the Abyss Lords.
He discovered that, in fact, the strength of these two Abyss Lords did not completely align with what they displayed in battle.
It seemed that their strength during the battle had become stronger, likely due to the special bonuses that came with being Abyss Lords.
As the rulers of the Abyss Plane, Abyss Lords could wield power stemming from the Abyss Plane.
This Abyss Power matched the characteristics of their own strength, merging with their intrinsic power, allowing them to exert combat prowess beyond their own capabilities.
Moreover, because this battle occurred in Dominic’s territory, the 106th layer of the Abyss, the Desolate Flame Plain.
As the master of this territory, Dominic received even more bonuses from the Abyss Power.
This was somewhat akin to divine beings fighting in their own Divine Country.
Within their own domain, divine beings could mobilize the rules and power within it to enhance their own strength.
On the Desolate Flame Plain, Dominic, like a divine being in his own Divine Country, could more freely utilize Abyss Power, exerting even greater combat prowess.
But surprisingly, Garrison also received aid from Abyss Power.
It was important to realize that this was not his Abyss Plane, and he technically shouldn’t be able to benefit from such bonuses.
However, Lis quickly discovered the reason.
It seemed because Garrison, over nearly a century of previous confrontations, had gained some advantages through his superior battle skills and cunning schemes.
He had somehow enabled the forces of the 107th layer, the Nether Breath Domain, to quietly infiltrate this battle region of the 106th layer, the Desolate Flame Plain.
Although it was just a small region on the battlefield, this gave Garrison the advantage of half a home field.
In the region infiltrated by the Nether Breath Domain’s power, Garrison could exert his strength more smoothly, experiencing a significant increase in power.
Upon realizing Garrison’s conspiracy, Dominic naturally didn’t sit idly by.
He appeared to have temporarily gained some advantage through some unknown methods, likely related to the skirmishes on the Demon Battlefield.
He attempted to break Garrison’s constraint, to regain the initiative in the battlefield.
This seemed to be one of the Deep Level secrets among Abyss Lords!
However, Lis, relying on his observation, confirmed that if the stalemate continued, Dominic would soon find himself at a disadvantage once more.
Garrison’s strength and strategy were much stronger, and he wouldn’t easily allow Dominic to regain the upper hand.
Lis shook his head slightly, somewhat reflective.
No wonder Dominic had always been at a disadvantage; facing such a powerful opponent as Garrison made victory exceedingly difficult.
As time progressed, the situation on the battlefield grew increasingly tense.
After some thought, Lis decided to lend a small helping hand to Dominic.
Although Dominic, being a Balrog Flame Demon, had little connection with vampires, Garrison on the other side was even worse.
Lis did not intend to masquerade as an undead creature.
As for influencing the battle between those Abyss Lords, Lis had already made a plan.
He certainly wouldn’t intervene directly.
Given his current strength, it would be somewhat overreaching.
Since Dominic already had plans and arrangements, Lis opted to give a push.
Thinking of this, Lis didn’t hesitate, slipping into the shadows.
This move came from the Domain Power Lis had recently mastered after the Transcendent Domain of Blood.
Lis infiltrated the shadows, roaming across the battlefield.
He didn’t directly target the undead but instead subtly guided the Magic Power, affecting the performance of those undead.
For instance, some spells cast by Witch Demons might fail due to magic power instability.
The blade in a Fear Knight’s hand might waver slightly at a critical moment, missing a Balrog Flame Demon’s vital point.
...
Such manipulations were hidden, making them more difficult to discern.
Even the demons and the undead on the scene only chalked it up to bad luck or accidents.
Under Lis’s manipulation, the battlefield that was previously in a deadlock gradually started tilting noticeably towards the Abyss Demons.
