The specialty of "Advanced Life Source" had a good effect but indeed consumed a significant amount of Mana.
Moreover, Lis had continuously maintained the effects of this specialty, needing about a thousand Mana Points every minute.
After drinking a bottle of Advanced Magic Potion, Lis felt the coolness in his mouth and slightly shook his head.
Ordinary Magic Recovery Potions couldn't keep up with this rate of consumption.
It seemed he needed to look back and see if he could obtain some specialty or skill that recovered Mana Points, creating a perpetual recovery system.
As long as he wasn't instantly killed, he could keep regenerating.
Lis was fairly confident in his own resilience, especially after successfully dealing with Mei Lulan.
However, Duke House did not give Lis a chance to continue recovering, as the massive body lunged directly at him.
Just as Lis was preparing to dodge, numerous thick, dark green vines burst forth from the ground beneath his feet, wildly entwining around his body.
Duke House had noticed that not only did Lis have considerable strength, but his speed was also quite impressive.
The speed at which he had just assassinated Mei Lulan was at least much faster than his own.
Watching the tentacle-like agile vines, Lis reluctantly had to abandon the spell he was gathering in his hand; kicking against an oncoming vine, he used the momentum to swiftly retreat, escaping Duke House's attack range.
But Duke House didn't care at all and continued to sprint towards Lis with his head down.
Although his agility wasn't very high, his powerful body strength made his straight-line sprinting speed very fierce.

Lis controlled the half-spent Mana of the "Mirror Body" clone in the air, using "Gravity Field," "Falling Stone Skill," and other Earth Element Magic to restrict the giant bear's movements.
The realism of the "Mirror Body" clone was very good, which was why Duke House and Mei Lulan hadn't noticed anything amiss.
However, controlling this clone required a lot of effort, and it was very difficult for Lis to manage the clone casting complex spells while fighting himself; he could only manage to cast some medium and low-level spells simultaneously.
Duke House's Blood-colored Shield continued to resist the spells used by Lis, and those that didn't get blocked by the shield were directly resisted with his body.
Lis himself was agilely dodging the control spells cast by Duke House while also maintaining a distance from the giant bear.
The continuous turns and changes of direction also prevented Duke House from closing the distance between them.
The hills were enveloped in dust as the giant bear charged through, and the thunderous roar was clearly audible for miles around.
Lis watched the increasingly frenzied Duke House in front of him, calmly dodging the Blood Blades released by House.
After a moment, it was Duke House who stopped, his expression gloomy.
He realized he couldn't seem to do anything to Lis, and even his attacks didn't have any real effect.
Either Lis dodged them directly, or his shield blocked them.
Especially the illusory Armor surrounding Lis's body, which intercepted almost all of his cast spells, none of them actually touching Lis's body.
"Lis, since you could directly kill Mei Lulan, are you just going to keep dodging me?"
Duke House roared in a low voice.
He had no other options; with Mei Lulan already dead, it was nearly impossible for him to restrict Lis's movements.
Although he still had a last resort, he didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
After all, in this situation, using it was almost no different from death.
Lis looked at Duke House speechlessly, his gaze as if looking at a fool.
The hell am I supposed to do, let you smash my Earth Elemental Giant to bits and brawl with you up close?
At the end of the day, I'm just a pitiful, helpless Arcanist with a skinny body, even if I did kill Mei Lulan, what does that prove?
I'm not stupid enough to clash head-on with you!
If it were just an ordinary Gold-level Warrior or a Druid, Lis might be interested in testing his skills against a warrior's.
But this Blood-colored Giant Bear in front of him, whether it was that strong and intimidating aura or its massive and solid body, was far beyond the previously encountered Patrick "Blood Shark."
Lis had absolutely no intention of risking himself; that would not be tempering himself but courting death.
Moreover, something about this Duke House was very off.
Theoretically, Duke House's level wasn't much higher than Patrick's, and he also had a secondary profession; his Druid Profession Level might even be lower.
Then the problem must lie in that secondary profession "All Beasts Divine Servant."
This special profession likely had a much closer relationship with the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, and it was very possible to receive some of his power.
This was likely Duke House's trump card!
Although Lis seemed very casual on the surface, his mind was also secretly on high alert.
Seeing that Lis wasn't fooled and even looked at him with an eye that seemed to see a fool, Duke House could no longer suppress his fury within.
He roared, and the blood light on the giant bear's body became even more intense, the thick blood energy carrying a fierce wind pressed towards Lis's body.
He has such a technique?
Lis felt the pressure coming from behind, seemingly trying to push him towards the giant bear.
The emerald glow flickered on his Magic Wand, a pale blue swift wind coiling behind him, counteracting the bloody airflow.
Taking this opportunity, Lis again used his set of three major moves.
