Chapter 388 Emergency Preparation

However, Avis was not as optimistic as Fiona, as he was well aware of the enemy's strength.

Although Avis could not say what was wrong with the plan proposed by Duke Carrot, "using himself and Fiona as bait to lure the enemy to appear", he always felt that he could not be completely assured.

Lure the enemy to appear, and then uproot it to prevent more enemies from attacking again, which can indeed be regarded as the current optimal solution.

However, Avis did not intend to rely on others for his own safety.

Since it was confirmed that there would be unknown powerful enemies attacking, Avis sorted out his existing assets and began to prepare for dealing with enemies far stronger than himself.

Although he had obtained a lot of things before, there were not many back-ups that could deal with the ninth-order limit.

First of all, the Old Secret Scripture can be counted as one.

After sealing the black cocoon and his own strength officially breaking through the high-level professional, his current strongest reliance, the "Old Secret Scripture", unlocked more abilities.

In addition to the Seed of Distortion, the original spell-like effects have been strengthened again, and a number of new spell-like effects have been added.

One of them is the important life-saving ability [Mirror Replacement] that can play a key role in the situation in Avis's eyes.

The emergence of this ability is based on the advanced [Blood Clone], [Dark Side of the Moon] and [Seal].

The caster needs to build his own clone in advance, and then seal it in a special blank page behind the Old Secret Book.

When encountering an invincible crisis, the caster can activate this ability at a critical moment, and the main body will instantly and seamlessly exchange with the clone in the page.

However, this ability can only be used when the "Old Secret Book" is carried with him. And when his clone is sealed, the "Old Secret Book" cannot be put into the storage ring.

Although it sounds like he is not out of danger, the biggest function of this spell is to pretend to be dead to confuse others, not to escape.

According to Avis's test, no matter whether it is space blockade, anti-magic force field, dream interference, etc., it cannot prevent this exchange from happening.

The effect of this exchange seems to be completely dependent on the power of the Old Secret Scripture, achieved through some higher-level channels.

After leaving the floating city, Avis once privately found Duke Carrot, hoping to test the specific effect and concealment of the mirror replacement.

But after he exchanged twice, the Duke had no reaction to this exchange at all.

It was not until he took the initiative to reveal his identity and the Duke really took it seriously that he could barely feel the difference between his clone and the original body.

In addition, there are two very interesting spell-like abilities [Sacrifice] and [Corruption].

The effect of [Sacrifice] is to sacrifice life using a special ritual array to provide vitality and soul power for the holder of the Old Secret Scripture.

The stronger the life sacrificed, the more power the caster can obtain. If the sacrifice is willing to sacrifice itself, the conversion rate can reach 90%, otherwise it is only 30%.

However, according to the spell description, if the power obtained through sacrifice accounts for too high a proportion, the holder will undergo some unknown changes.

The effect of [Corruption] is to change the life form of the recipient with the alien power of the Old Secret Scripture, turning it into a follower of the holder of the Old Secret Scripture.

"These abilities are getting weirder and weirder..."

For the existence of these two spell-like spells, Avis always felt that this book was pushing him in a strange direction.

In addition to the evolved Old Secret Scripture, the Themis Colossus he had previously obtained from the floating city was also a super strong trump card.

Although the energy source was lost, the remaining magic power in the core of the colossus was still enough to launch a complete annihilation rule attack.

Its power is equivalent to a miniature lightless moon. Even if the ninth-level limit is hit, it will be severely damaged on the spot.

And the others are basically gone.

On his overseas island, the research on artificial perfect blood and constructed synthetic forces is still in progress. Far water cannot save nearby fires.

Although there are now a number of floating city golems, weapon systems, etc., but without the infinite magic of the Eternal Core, it is temporarily unable to exert its true power.

The research on Albins' side has just begun, and he has not even seen the [Ring of Time and Space], let alone cracking the Eternal Core.

All the problems are that this incident happened too early, decades earlier than in the previous life.

After thinking for a long time, Avis finally decided to temporarily put aside other aspects of magic research and turn to make a special magic prop that can open the normal space door connecting dreams and reality.

In any case, the main gun of the Themis Colossus is his strongest means of attack at present.

Originally, he planned to set it up as a safety when exploring the dream world in the future, but now, he may need to use this trump card in advance.

After confirming the action plan, Avis spent half a month in the magic laboratory, forgetting to eat and sleep to make this special prop, and drinking mental recovery potions directly to replenish his mental strength.

In the past half month, even Fiona couldn't see him. He used to go to the mysticism course occasionally, but now he completely stopped going.

Not all dream space gates are feasible. In his conception, this space gate exists as a channel for the rule attack to pass through.

Therefore, its structure must be stable enough to withstand the pressure of the annihilation main gun.

And his previous bad premonition was confirmed. Half a month later, when Avis was busy refining the last connecting component of the space gate wonder, his mind suddenly became dazed.

And what emerged in the hazy was a black human figure like last time. Fiona still closed her eyes, floating beside him as if she was sleeping.

The only difference is that the distance of the human figure is now closer, and it is still approaching him step by step.

An invisible sense of oppression and fear constantly grabbed his heart.

When the dark human figure almost touched him, Avis, who was standing in front of the alchemy table, suddenly woke up, and a thin layer of sweat had seeped out of his back.

Throwing away the components on the alchemy table that were scrapped due to his sudden stop, Avis raised his hand to wipe his forehead and let out a long breath.

This situation means that the time for the crisis to come is extremely close.

Moreover, there is another explanation, that is, the Duke's so-called protection may not be enough to guarantee the safety of him and Fiona!

Glancing at the exquisite dark golden seven-layer ring placed on the side of the alchemy table, Avis cheered up again, took out a new material, and started to refine the last component again.

Coo, the pigeons have started school, sometimes I can't finish the coding at night, so I can only postpone it.

But I will make up for it later, coo! No coo——
