Lis’s eyes still held the glow of wisdom.
Tarinda also breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, this Third Speaker of the Pan-Continent Mage Association realized something else.
That is, Lis has already become a Demigod Arcanist!
This is indeed the first Demigod Arcanist to appear since the dawn of magic!
Even the First Speaker, Osiris, though considered to possess near godly power, never claimed to be an Arcanist of Demigod or Divine Rank!
Which means, Lis could be considered at the pinnacle of all Arcanists!
Whereas Tarinda and Stephens, though possessing demigod strength through mastering the World Rules, are fundamentally different from Lis.
Simply put, after breaking through that boundary, Lis’s future is almost unimpeded.
While for them, unless becoming like Lis, breakthroughs will be hard to come by.
Perhaps her strength now surpasses Lis’s, but it can be foreseen that Lis will soon surpass her.
Yet, Tarinda felt no jealousy or frustration.
Instead, there was a hint of excitement!
This is the way it should be!
The end of the arcane is clearly beyond her current position!
The future holds more mysteries waiting!
Just thinking about it makes one feel eager!
"Lady Tarinda, please don’t tease me anymore."
Lis said helplessly, asking Tarinda for respite.
Upon receiving Tarinda’s message, he came here directly.
After all, the message from Tarinda was truly shocking!
Mr. Stephens is actually on the twelfth layer of the Endless Abyss!?
Previously, he had asked Cain to help probe the twelfth layer’s situation while in the Endless Abyss.
That was when Lis learned that Demon Prince Demogorgon had placed a powerful avatar on the twelfth layer.
Moreover, to prevent Cain from probing, Demogorgon even directly confronted him once.
Lis had been curious about what was at the center of the twelfth layer to make Demogorgon hold it in such regard.
Now he understands.
Turns out, it was Mr. Stephens!
Well then!
Lis is shocked and finds it hard to believe.
Previously, because of him, Mr. Stephens became aware of Demon Prince Demogorgon’s arrangements in the Gaia Main World.
Since then, Mr. Stephens had been secretly investigating this matter.
Perhaps that’s why Demogorgon targeted Mr. Stephens.
However, some oddities remain.
Indeed, Mr. Stephens is powerful, but why does Demogorgon regard him so highly?
So far, according to Demogorgon’s past behavior, there’s no precedent for this.
Deploying a powerful avatar specifically against Mr. Stephens.
Now, it seems a bit excessive.
Despite Mr. Stephens’s strong abilities, he is still at most at the demigod level.
Demogorgon doesn’t need to deploy such a powerful avatar.
Lis, after being hunted by Demogorgon on the Abyss Plane Fragment, can confirm Demogorgon did not use such an avatar.
Lis does not believe that in Demogorgon’s eyes, Mr. Stephens is more appealing than him, a World Tree Favored.
Unless... unless there is something special.
At this moment, Tarinda’s expression became serious, and she said earnestly:
"In fact, Stephens’s situation doesn’t look good."
"The message I got from him was very brief, probably wary of being discovered by someone."
"...I might know what’s going on."
Lis smiled bitterly, then shared all he knew with the Third Speaker.
"So it’s that Demon Prince, no wonder..."
Tarinda was also a bit alarmed.
After all, even those giants of Gaia World regard him with extreme caution.
"Then what should we do?"
Tarinda looked at Lis and inquired.
She summoned Lis to discuss how to rescue Stephens.
He must not remain trapped there.
Who knows how long Stephens can hold against Demogorgon.
"It’s a necessity."
Lis nodded, his mind racing.
Mr. Stephens had helped him a lot; there’s no way he would back down now.
Moreover, it’s quite possible that Mr. Stephens ended up trapped on the twelfth layer because of him.
This is different from before.
For Lis, Mr. Stephens’s importance far surpasses the relics of gods on the twelfth layer.
He would not hesitate to sacrifice his Vampire Avatar for this.
"I don’t know much else, but if Demogorgon is involved and Stephens is enduring, I know of a possibility..."
Tarinda pondered briefly, then spoke to Lis.
"... Is that so?"
Lis rubbed his temples and continued.
"That’s not enough. Let me think of a way to rescue the teacher out."
...
In the Underground City’s labyrinth,
The winding passages resemble the complex veins of a giant beast, dark and mysterious.
Currently, it’s home to countless Abyssal Demons, eyes blood-red, seeking through the passages?
Their steps are heavy and chaotic, seemingly searching for traces of enemies.
Their low growls echoing intensify the eerie atmosphere.
Amid this tense and oppressive moment, dazzling Holy Light streaks through the darkness like meteors.
These lights, blazing intensely, transform into sharp Long Spears, with divine and unyielding power piercing through the beasts’ forms.
The struck beasts howl in agony, the sound sharp and mournful, as if lamentations from Hell.
Soon after, Holy Fire engulfs them, illuminating the walls and making the tunnels bright as day.
Holy Fire blazes stronger, beasts writhing in flames, unable to escape this holy bind.
Ultimately, reduced to ashes.
On ashes still emanating heat, a shoe with pure sacred pattern treads, followed by countless others.
A squad of elite from the Church of the Gods appeared there.
Yet the fierce combat didn’t scare away other beasts.
More beasts gathered from all directions.
They crowded the tunnel, dense shadows like a black ocean, inducing despair to anyone watching.
But facing the flooding beast group, the elite squad from the Church of the Gods remained unfazed.
Their gear highly refined, each piece glowing with sacred radiance.
Each member exuded powerful aura.
They moved in unison, coordinated seamlessly like an inseparable entity.
And the squad wasn’t just one Church’s divine officers, but several combined.
Yet, the officers coordinated genuinely as if fighting together for long.
Various divine power qi enveloped the squad, instilling an invincible presence.
Moreover, several Legendary Strongmen were among them.
They were elite of the Church of the Gods, possessing transcendent prowess and rich combat experience.
Their names well-known across the continent, admired by all.
Now, in the squad’s center stood a diminutive elderly.
Clad in modest robes, face kind and benevolent, eyes deep with wisdom.
No transcendent aura was on him, merely a normal elder.
Yet, standing there he gave a stable feel like a mountain.
As if, with him there, no challenge or danger could defeat the squad.
Under the elder’s lead, the squad advanced towards the Underground City’s core.
More beasts emerged, the battles ever fiercer, yet they never backed down.
Beasts’ heads fell, holy power dispelling patches of darkness.
Their ultimate destination was the Abyss Channel to Endless Abyss!
Similar occurrences happened in other continents’ Underground Cities!
