Chapter 993 - 592: Return to the Floating City_2
Countless geniuses emerge, some fall halfway, while others succeed in ascending the Divine Throne, standing at the pinnacle of the world.
At this time, anything can happen, and this is also the opportunity he is striving for with all his might.
Joyce remained silent for a moment, feeling somewhat moved in his heart.
"Uncle Joyce, you don’t have to worry too much about me."
Lis noticed Joyce’s brief distraction and said with a smile.
"Good kid, even if you break through to Legend, I think I can still teach you a lesson."
Joyce glanced at Lis with a bit of exasperation; is this kid a little too confident after just becoming a Legend?
"Hmm, I know."
Lis did not object to this.
Don’t be fooled by how harshly he beat Andrew of [Storm Fury], but that’s because Andrew, like him, hasn’t been a Legend for long.
With his more substantial foundation, Lis could beat Andrew to the ground without issue.
But Uncle Joyce is different; he became a Legend twenty or thirty years ago, much stronger than Andrew.
Lis, although confident in his abilities, knows he cannot be a match for Joyce.
After all, before reaching the Legendary Rank, Lis could rely on his past life combat experience, but after becoming a Legend, every step is something he has to explore on his own.
This places higher demands on Lis.
Having finally become a Legend, Lis does not want to end up like Andrew someday, being beaten down.
"Alright, Little Lis, you know why I called you here, don’t you?"
Joyce put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Lis.
"Hmm, it’s about the Floating City!"
Lis nodded without hesitation and said.
Even though there are many things he has to do after becoming a Legend, other matters would consume a lot of time, and Lis is not sure if he could definitely make a breakthrough; this all requires Lis to explore anew.
But the Floating City is different!
Such a grand Floating City is lying in the Treasure Pearl Sea, waiting for Lis to control.
Controlling a Floating City can significantly enhance Lis’s power.
This has been the relentless pursuit of the Kane family, including Lis’s father and other predecessors.
The thought of soon controlling a Floating City, even someone with Lis’s mindset, cannot hide his excitement.
Previously, Joyce led Lis on an exploration of the Azela Floating City, attempting to enter the core control room of the Floating City to control the entire Floating City, but they must first break through the guarding Legendary Elemental Magic Statue.
With only Uncle Joyce’s strength, it’s hard to achieve, but now that Lis has joined, it’s completely different.
"Yeah, it’s better to go to the Floating City as soon as possible."
Joyce sighed deeply, recalling the appearance of Lis’s father, with some mixed feelings in his heart.
Brandon, who would have thought?
Lis would be so outstanding, stronger than both of us!
For Joyce, that Floating City has always been a long-held wish; successfully controlling it would be to fulfill a regret in his heart.
"Uncle Joyce, then let’s go now!"
Lis nodded and decisively said.
"Okay."
Joyce looked at Lis, smiling as he spoke.
Lis had a Space coordinate for the Floating City, so he didn’t need to use the previously arranged Space Transmission Array; he directly transported Joyce to the outer wall of the Azela Floating City.
...
Azela Floating City, core tower.
In the most Hidden core control room of the tower, magic rune circuits and rune formations scattered throughout the room emitted dim light, while the pure azure orb in the center of the room floated and slowly rotated in mid-air, just as it had for countless years.
Suddenly, the gentle white light in the control room transformed into a glaring red glow, and a cold voice rang out in the room.
"Warning! Warning!"
"Detection Array numbers one, two, four, and six have identified the presence of Legendary Professionals!"
"Number: two."
"Matching with personnel database..."
"Matching successful!"
"Target one: Joyce... Identity: Legendary Assassin... Threat level: High!"
"Target two: Lis... Identity: Legendary Mage... Threat level: High!"
...
The azure orb halted its rotation, and a gentle voice appeared in the room.
"Is this the Golden Rank Mage from last time, who has already broken through to Legend?"
"It seems the end really is near this time!"
This voice, though fatigued, carried a hint of pleasure.
An information stream flowed out from the control room, traveling along the magic rune circuits towards the Floating City Library.
Soon, a black cat napping soundly in the Library suddenly started, groggily opening its eyes.
"What’s happening now~"
"What’s Azela, in such a hurry for?"
"Lis still has a long way to go to break through to control the Floating City, why does he keep asking me to train~"
The black cat was a bit speechless; it knew what the intelligent magic life controlling the Floating City wanted by perpetually training it, but surely there’s no need to be in such a rush?
Lis is still young; Sphinx at his age was still playing... oh my!
This time, the black cat noticed the message Azela sent, staring in disbelief.
This... legendary already?
The black cat rubbed its eyes, hardly believing it, but upon confirming it hadn’t misread, it instantly became excited, disappearing from the Library.
...
Lis and Joyce emerged from the Space Transmission, once again witnessing that azure city stagnating in the underground cavern.
No matter how many times he sees it, Lis still marvels at this magnificent crystal of magic wisdom.
However, this time Lis’s mentality in coming here was completely different.
This time, he came to control this ultimate magical construct!
"Lis!"
At this moment, a small black shadow appeared on the edge of the Floating City, excitedly yelling towards Lis.
"Dark Night Saint Meow, Little Black?"
Lis immediately recognized this black cat he had left in the Floating City and flew over with a smile.
The black cat didn’t mind Lis’s joke but excitedly looked Lis up and down.
Though it couldn’t perceive Lis’s power, in its eyes, Lis had undergone a completely different transformation, exhibiting a quality reminiscent of Sphinx.
Truly legendary?!
The black cat was overwhelmed with joy; Lis really did it.
Truly worthy of being my master!
Lis picked up the black cat, stroking it to feel its silky texture, and asked with a smile:
"How did you know I was coming over?"
"Azela told me."
The black cat squinted its eyes contentedly and said.
"That magical intelligent life, I see."
Lis understood; it seems the detection devices in the Floating City were still functioning effectively.
"Hmm, Azela asked me to tell you it’s waiting for you in the core control room."
The black cat tilted its neck, having Lis stroke a few more times before continuing.
"Oh?"
Lis was somewhat surprised; it seemed Azela was confident that teaming up with Uncle Joyce would break through the protection of the Elemental Magic Statue.
Then why not proactively remove it?
Lis didn’t dwell too much on it, likely a rule left from the Floating City that Azela couldn’t violate.
This is also the limitation of magic life; after all, as tools of the mages, they cannot disobey the mages’ will.
"Alright, let’s go then!"
Lis placed the black cat on his shoulder and walked towards the Floating City with Joyce.
Without concealing their presence, the two walked openly on the main road of the Floating City, not caring at all about the patrolling Elemental Magic Statues.
If it was just Joyce alone, it might be troublesome, but with the support of Lis, the legendary magic artillery, those statues simply could not hinder the duo’s progress.
It was also during Lis’s actions that Joyce understood Lis’s current strength.
Tsk!
Joyce felt a bit of toothache; in terms of sheer power, Lis had already surpassed him, the Legendary Shadow Assassin.
This is the advantage of being a Master Mage.
Moreover, with Lis’s astonishing physical strength, which was not much slower when compared to Joyce, Joyce wasn’t entirely certain he could take down Lis easily.
Truly a little monster!
Joyce sighed, though he felt even happier in his heart.
With the duo working together, even though the Elemental Magic Statue guarding the core tower had Legendary Rank strength, it was too cumbersome and was swiftly resolved by the two.
At this moment, the door leading to the core of the entire Floating City opened slowly in front of Lis.
