I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Just after Risa conceded defeat, Lis's system panel emitted the crisp notification sound of task completion.

Without hurrying to check the status of the completed task, Lis smiled and said to Risa:

"I got a bit serious just now, you okay, Risa?"

Risa quickly shook her head and replied:

"I'm fine, young master, it's just that I was a bit too forceful, and the courtyard..."

Lis looked around at the surrounding courtyard. The huge ice cone Risa released was still embedded in the ground, and the garden and lawn that the gardener had meticulously cared for were covered with the scorch marks left by spells, with a lot of the dark soil even turned over.

Lis didn't mind these things; instead, he winked at Risa and said:

"No worries, it was all my doing, got it?"

"Oh."

Risa seemed to understand Lis's intent, quietly replying, and feeling a lot more at ease.

"However, Risa, don't you fight very often? You seemed a bit nervous just now."

Lis used Mage's Hand to pull out the ice cone and gently placed it to the side.

"Yes, so just now my mind went a little blank."

Risa said with a bit of embarrassment.

"That won't do. When you have time in the future, come with me to the Magic Academy to practice spells. There, you can really let loose."

"Yes, young master."

Risa had already become somewhat accustomed to following Lis's arrangements and obediently nodded in agreement.

Lis asked the servants at home to help the gardener clean up the yard, and seeing this, Risa also returned to the Library.

...

After making the arrangements, Lis returned to his bedroom, placed the sleeping Angela in the little basket he had prepared for her, and then lay down on his own bed.

Lis first started checking the limited challenge task he had just completed.

-----------------

[You easily defeated Risa, completing the limited challenge task]

[Judgement: Cross-level Challenge... Judgement failed, reward remains unchanged]

[Judgement: Full-effort Combat... Judgement failed (Risa did not use 100% strength), reward decreased]

[Judgement (Hidden): With Ease... Judgement passed (You did not use 100% strength), reward increased]

[Task completion 90%, reward distribution in progress...]

[You have gained 100w Experience Points]

[You have acquired the specialty [Advanced Water Element Affinity]]

[You have acquired the skill [Five-Ring Magic: Ice Cone]]

[[Advanced Water Element Affinity]—Your affinity for Water Element particles has almost reached the peak, when using Water Magic you receive a 50% damage bonus, and related Water Element effects are significantly increased]

-----------------

The task completion wasn't high, which Lis had already braced himself for.

After all, to minimize the destruction, apart from the initial Five-Ring Magic [Ice Cone], Risa didn't use any other high-powered Shape Changing Magic and failed to showcase the power of her Legendary Talent.

The most important thing was that Risa's combat experience was lacking, so much so that even with the ability to completely overpower Lis, she wasn't able to pose any threat to him.

This should not be the performance Risa is meant to display, she needs to be corrected.

Lis took note of this and suddenly realized there was something he could try.

However, obtaining the specialty of "Advanced Water Element Affinity" satisfied Lis greatly.

Since Risa possessed the Legendary Talent "Elemental Torrent Dominator," it was presumed that she would have the highest level of specialty affinities for various elements.

He could slowly take advantage of that in the future!

After all, since he had to help Risa improve her combat skills, that's what Lis thought.

But what needed attention now was not that. From the challenge information displayed by the system just before, Lis finally confirmed Risa's identity.

Or rather, the identity Risa would present to the players and the world in the future.

"Elemental Catastrophe" Azela!

In his past life, this female Legendary Mage was an extremely mysterious individual, with no one knowing her true identity.

If Taya's identity became widely known after she became the Legendary Warrior and succeeded to the throne, then the identity of Legendary Mage Azela was shrouded in mystery from beginning to end.

Who is she? What does she look like? How did she break through to Legendary status?

Every time she appeared, there was a thin layer of mist surrounding her, concealing her features.

Moreover, it seemed she had solidified advanced Anti-detection Magic on herself, and even the players' system panels couldn't obtain any useful information about her, only recognizing her talent as the Legendary "Elemental Torrent Dominator."

As a result, her name remained unknown, and people could only use the name of the force she established as the title for this Legendary Mage.

Yes, the realm of this Legendary Mage was—

Azela Floating City!

The Floating City, as the pinnacle of ancient Magic Empire's wisdom, is a magic city powered by Miserla's Core, floating high in the sky, symbolizing glorious magical achievements and a terrifying martial foundation.

Thus, the Floating City has always been a place that mages in the Gaia World aspire to.

Before Azela Floating City, there was no Floating City on the Fanor Continent.

This azure Floating City that rose from the Eastern Fanor Sea was the first fully operational Floating City on the Fanor Continent.

And the master of Azela Floating City was "Elemental Catastrophe" Azela!

Frankly, Lis had not initially linked Risa with this fearsome Legendary Mage of the future; the gap between them was too great.

However, after essentially confirming yesterday that the butler was a Legendary Shadow Dancer, he started to speculate about Risa's identity.

After all, as the age of chaos approached and more Legendary Mages emerged, the possibility that one of them could be Risa was rather limited.

As the first Floating City on the Fanor Continent, it naturally aroused great envy, and even though it was controlled by a Legendary Mage, not everyone was willing to give up on seizing it.

Lis remembered that after Azela Floating City rose from the sea, an incognito Legendary Mage challenged its ruler, hoping to claim the Floating City as their own.

Just when this unknown Legendary Mage battled with Azela above the East Sea, a Legendary Shadow Dancer covertly launched an attack and nearly left this mage forever in the eastern part of the continent.

This incident sent shockwaves across the continent. After all, a force that boasts two Legendary-level powerhouses is a top-tier force in the Fanor Continent, and even many Human Kingdoms lack even one Legendary Strongman.

Since then, no one dared to covet the Floating City any longer.

And the Shadow Dancer, being a highly rare advanced profession among assassin Professionals, had only a few who reached Legendary status.

If Joyce was the unnamed Legendary Shadow Dancer who appeared at that time, then Risa was very likely to be that Legendary Mage, Azela.

After all, given Risa's talent, it was very likely for her to break through to the Legendary Level, and Joyce had also vaguely revealed that Risa was the genius the Kane family had been nurturing from a young age.

So this means, the secret of the Kane family...

Is it that Floating City quietly submerged in the Eastern Sea!!!
