I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 592: Chapter 406 Another Blood Clan?

On the edge of the Elf Forest,

Lis simply cleaned up the traces at the scene, mainly by burning the remains of the gold-level assassin to ashes.

After all, as someone who used the power of the Abyss Demon, his remains could cause some pollution or leave behind clues.

Lis slowly walked back, holding a storage ring he had found on Sinker’s body.

His spiritual power slowly merged into the storage ring, gradually breaking through the remaining spiritual imprint.

Because the ring’s owner, Sinker, was already dead, the imprint had begun to deteriorate, and Lis did not need to exert much effort to completely master the storage ring.

“Let me see, what good stuff is there…”

Lis rubbed his hands, somewhat expectantly.

The feeling was a bit like opening a treasure chest, not knowing what good things would come out.

Whoosh—

Lis poured out a pile of miscellaneous items from the storage ring, with many shiny gold coins rolling to the side.

Several sets of black casual clothes, food, magic potions, various types of short daggers, maps, and other items.

This gold-level assassin really carried a variety of things.

Lis carefully sorted through the items in front of him, quickly discarding the useless items, and soon cleared out the valuable goods from the storage ring.

Tens of thousands of gold coins, which were quite normal.

Some common magic potions, for healing and temporarily boosting status and strength, but they weren’t of much use to Lis.

As for the weapons and equipment, Lis found a gold-level dagger, which was decent; the rest were mediocre.

The rest were bits and pieces of things, of no value to Lis.

The only somewhat special item that Lis held in his hand.

It was a pale white crystal ball, its brilliance subtle as if it was nothing special.

However, at the very center inside the crystal ball, encapsulated a drop of deep red blood, as if floating in mid-air.

Looking closely, it seemed that tiny specks of gold light were flickering on the droplet.

When Lis got hold of this special crystal ball, the system panel also flashed new information.

—————

[You have obtained a special item [Source Blood Crystal]!]

…

[Secret Treasure: [Source Blood Crystal]]

[Description: The core of power of an Abyss Blood Demon, transformed by special powers into a unique treasure, appears to have the ability to detect special bloodline powers]

[Effect: Locks onto a particular bloodline power; can sense nearby targets possessing this bloodline power, the sensing range and location accuracy depend on the user’s spiritual power]

[Current locked bloodline power: Day Elf Bloodline]

—————

Lis looked curiously at the [Source Blood Crystal] in his hand.

Was this the magic item that the gold-level assassin used to lock onto Cecil’s location?

Indeed miraculous, there actually was an item capable of searching for targets through bloodline power.

This [Source Blood Crystal] also reached the level of a secret treasure. Although its effects were far inferior to [Acadia’s Lucky Brooch], it could still play a special role under specific circumstances.

The moment Lis saw this secret treasure, many unique uses flashed through his mind.

For instance, when hunting down an enemy, as long as he could wound the enemy and obtain their blood, he could determine the adversary’s location through the [Source Blood Crystal].

After all, the bloodline power used would definitely match the blood owner perfectly.

Lis held the Source Blood Crystal in his hand, his spiritual power probing into it.

Soon, in Lis’s mind appeared the targets around him who possessed the Day Elf Bloodline.

There was only one target near Lis with the Day Elf Bloodline, which was the location originally under attack.

That conspicuous target was likely Cecil.

Although the Source Blood Crystal could not display the surrounding terrain, Lis could still deduce the target’s location from their relative positions.

Perhaps due to Lis’s potent spiritual power, Cecil’s location was extremely clear, and Lis could search a quite substantial range.

“This really is a good item!”

Lis nodded in satisfaction and put the [Source Blood Crystal] in his bag.

He did not extract the Day Elf Bloodline from it, choosing instead to retain it.

In the event of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, all the intelligence Lis had obtained was related to the Day Elves, and also seemed greatly linked with the controller of the Elf Royal Court, the Sun Elf Family Illiser.

Who knows what role the [Source Blood Crystal] might play later on; for now, it was best to keep it.

Lis clapped his hands and turned to head back the way he came.

…

After a moment,

Cecil, who stood on the spot nervously alert, finally relaxed and calmed down when she saw Lis’s figure.

Without realizing it, she already considered Lis her most reliable ally, having concealed no secrets from him.

This might be due to Lis possessing the favor of the Elf Goddess Fenrilya, but more so because of the strength and reliability Lis had displayed.

“What happened to that person?”

Seeing that Lis was unharmed, Cecil couldn’t help but feel relieved.

The sudden attack earlier had truly frightened her; she had almost frozen on the spot, and even thinking back on it now still caused her to shudder.

Having just experienced a brush with death, she was somewhat unsettled and had not yet recovered.

“It’s all right now, the assassin has been dealt with, no need to worry,”

Lis patted Cecil’s shoulder, comforting her.

He did not mention the [Source Blood Crystal] or speak of matters regarding the Elf Royal Court to her or anyone else.

Given that Demogorgon was a being of meticulous and profound thoughts, Lis was certain that even if he now informed all gods about the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, or even the upcoming fall of the Elf Main God and the massive invasion of Abyss Demons into the Gaia World, it would undoubtedly not alter the course of events destined to happen.
