Chapter 287: Chapter 273: The Fireworks Show at the Ice Castle Palace!_3
“Gold-level Hunters, you don’t see those every day!”
The dark-robed figure moved again, and the deep aquamarine arrow could only helplessly vanish into the distant night.
One last chance remained!
Lis silently counted in his heart but still maintained a carefree demeanor, slightly curving his right thumb and forefinger as he remarked:
“Ah, what a pity, just a little bit more, and you could have hit me!” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The more he acted like this, the more guarded the experts of the Ice Castle Palace became.
...
Lis glanced at the several Gold-level Mages secretly setting up anti-teleportation restrictions and paid them no mind.
Joking, if an array left by a Legendary Arcanist could be thwarted by them, Judgement Flame wouldn’t have felt so at ease sending Lis out on adventures.
“Moriarty, are you trying to provoke the Dillon Kingdom?”
At this, a Golden Warrior standing beside Abbas also shouted, though his voice lacked conviction. It seemed he, too, was shaken by the dark-cloaked person’s eerie tactics.
Although the few spells Lis cast were all blocked by the protective magic array, this time before using the spell, he invoked the essence of strength gathered in the Elemental Origin Gem within the Legendary Accessories, Sphinx’s Wisdom, exceeding his own power and reaching a Gold-level spell’s potency.
Although this tactic was limited by Lis’s control over the Legendary Accessories and could put immense pressure on his body, for Lis, whose physical strength was comparable to a warrior of the same rank, it wasn’t much of a concern.
“I merely came to say hello today!”
“Hehe… The fireworks a couple of days ago were nice, I liked them. But we, the Death Secret Cult, are not that petty. That little show was hardly enough!”
“So, let’s have a grand, extravagant fireworks display!”
The dark-robed figure said zealously, and then around him appeared dozens of blue streaks, dense like a swarm.
Lis’s Blue Flame Nova + Catastrophic Explosion!
While the mages were secretly setting up the restrictions, Lis had been busy too, extracting all the Elemental Origin Power gathered in Sphinx’s Wisdom, emptying all his Magic Power to set up such an extravagant display.
Under the night sky, Lis’s face was somewhat pale, and the remaining Magic Power in his body could just barely maintain his form using the Floating Technique.
Abbas, staring at the terrifying blue meteor shower falling from the sky, could no longer focus on targeting Moriarty and quickly organized his men to intercept the falling stars.
Whether openly in view or previously hidden, Gold-level powerhouses all made their move to block the blue meteors.
Most of the blue meteors were dispersed before hitting the protection magic array, but many still managed to fall.
The Gold-level Mages, who had not yet completed the anti-flight and anti-teleportation restrictions, noticed that the protective barrier began to flicker noticeably after the meteors shattered against it, as if it could shatter at any moment.
How could this be possible!
The Royal Palace mages were alarmed. Even for Gold-level Mages, it was unthinkable for a single individual to breach the powerful Royal Palace magic array; only a Legendary Mage could easily do so.
What was up with this Moriarty?
Lis was, of course, well aware of the reasons. One was because the special arcane spell, Catastrophic Explosion, was particularly effective at destroying protection magics and arrays, and the other was the overpowering strength of the power within the Elemental Origin Gemstone of Sphinx’s Wisdom.
That was strength condensed over countless years; even though it was merely the remaining power after maintaining other special effects, it was still quite formidable and terrifying, having been squandered entirely by Lis tonight. He had no idea how long it would take to recover.
Lis, watching the protective array of the Royal Palace that barely withstood but ultimately did not shatter under the meteor shower, felt a remorseful twinge of pain in his body as he sighed regretfully.
If only he had been able to break this turtle shell, tonight’s display would have been much better!
However, this was already the limit of what he could achieve.
What remained was…
A sphere emitting a dazzling golden light appeared in Lis’s right hand in a flash.
A special Magic Item: Top High Energy Bomb (treasured)!
“Ha ha, this is the last gift. I hope you like it!”
As Abbas and others looked on, the cloaked figure laughed wildly, and the golden light in his hand suddenly vanished.
Buzz~
An eerie sound emanated from below the Royal Palace, accompanied by an immense sense of threat, agitating the nerves of everyone present.
Abbas looked down, only to see a golden light suddenly appear in the central courtyard of the Royal Palace, accompanied by a dangerous and intense fluctuation.
“Damn it, could it be!”
An extremely bad premonition suddenly filled Abbas’s heart. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the location of King Lukar.
“Madman, how dare he do this! How dare he!?”
…
Lis in the sky bowed slightly, as if thanking everyone present for their attendance tonight.
“Looking forward to seeing you again!”
Advanced Teleportation Technique!
Immediately following this, the figure of the cloaked person vanished into the sky!
Some of the powerhouses atop the castle, under the threat of imminent death, fled towards the outside of the Royal Palace, while others rushed towards the site of the golden light.
Buzz~~~
Boom!!!!!
At the very moment Lis teleported away, he witnessed the protective barrier of the Royal Palace shattering and the massive golden pillar of light that shot up into the sky, seemingly extending into the depths of the starry heavens.
