Chapter 600: Chasing
The excitement of the city being breached doesn't seem to be enough to make it explode. Is it really impossible without my sacrifice?
Avis was a little confused as he paid close attention to Fiona's condition.
No, if Fiona can explode, it means that the conditions for explosion have been met from the beginning to the end, but more stimulation is needed.
While Avis was observing the situation, the body of the Nightmare Spirit King had already floated on the top of the palace shield.
"Unfortunately, everything ends here."
A thunderous voice echoed from the dark sky. Looking at the fragile new shield below, the Nightmare Spirit King did not make any excessive movements, but just pressed down like a mountain.
But such a simple attack method brought desperate pressure.
There was no fancy collision of rule power, it was just a pure competition of the use of rule power.
If it fell completely, everything in the palace would be wiped out except Fiona.
The moment the two collided, Fiona's face turned pale, and the light silver shield covering the palace instantly shattered like an eggshell.
Is it over?
The pink rabbit eyes stared at the Nightmare Spirit King falling rapidly in the sky, and Avis looked calm.
The white rabbit's pocket watch appeared in his hand, and the next moment, the pointer on the watch suddenly began to reverse rapidly.
With his action, the time of the entire Alice in Wonderland world began to flow backwards rapidly.
The function of the pocket watch is not limited to being activated by him and modifying the time in the dream in a small range. Just like before Avis came, the ordinary white rabbit could trace back the timeline of the entire world.
When certain special conditions, such as "the dream controller is threatened", are met, this pocket watch will start automatically and reset the timeline of the entire world to a certain time ago, the effect is similar to re-reading the file in a single-player game.
This is one of the most fundamental cornerstone rules of this world, and the pocket watch is just a physical projection of the restart rule.
Avis only guessed this ability recently. This was originally one of the insurances he left when he made "Fiona in Wonderland" to ensure the safety of the girl, but it was distorted by the reverse invasion of the dream world and became like this.
The only ones who were not affected by the rewinding effect were Avis, the owner of the pocket watch, and Fiona, the controller of the dream.
As an alien ninth-level being, the Nightmare Spirit King could not stop the time from rewinding, but he could resist it through the power of rules, which could be considered half of it.
"!?"
Under the gaze of the girl, the world appeared a magical scene as if time was going backwards.
The darkness retreated in the direction from which it came, and the huge dark maze rose into the air in the struggle, and then absorbed a large amount of black nightmare fog that permeated the city.
The eroded small animal residents also recovered and quickly retreated in the direction from which they came.
In the end, the time of the world's rewinding was frozen at the moment when Marquis Winter was defeated and left.
The opponent's body was not in this world, and the opponent's strength had reached the ninth level, so even the power of the rewinding rules was not enough.
As a familiar ripple of light spread, the broken body of the Nightmare Spirit King appeared in front of everyone, and everything returned to the state before the city was broken.
But the slight difference is that the body of the Nightmare Spirit King is more broken than the first time.
Since the body of the Nightmare Spirit King is remotely controlled by Marquis Beshim, when the rewinding occurs, the time of Marquis Beshim's spirit and body in the outside world is inconsistent.
In order to resist the tearing effect caused by the disorder of the time axis, Marquis Beshim had to consume a lot of rule power again to protect himself.
"Mr. White Rabbit, did you do the change just now?"
After discovering that the city and the small animals have returned to normal, Fiona became excited as she sensed the clear rules of the world again.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty, this is your world after all! You are also the only hope to save us from evil!"
Looking at the girl who was looking at him in surprise, Anvis shook his ears and spoke slowly.
Although the time rewinding has restored the world rules to the previous strong period, the rewinding function has temporarily entered cooling and cannot be used.
"Haha, it's a good method. I want to see how long you can struggle!"
Outside the city, Marquis Beshim laughed in anger.
The ability to rewind that the opponent showed was indeed very buggy, but it only delayed for a while.
Any skill must abide by the basic rules. The more amazing the effect of the skill, the greater its limitation.
And this kind of rewinding that covers the entire world can never be used repeatedly in a short period of time.
Without saying anything more, Marquis Beshim directly controlled the body of the Nightmare Spirit King and suddenly crashed into the restored protective barrier.
The situation seemed to have returned to its previous state. The power of the Nightmare Spirit King and Fiona was in a stalemate, waiting for the four nightmares to break the balance.
As Marquis Beshim expected, the four nightmares entered the scene on time again. But what he didn't expect was that the target of the four nightmares' attack this time was completely different from before the rewind.
At a certain moment, including the Mad Desius, the four nightmare spirits who were originally attacking the city shield suddenly changed their targets and pointed directly at Marquis Beshim who was in a stalemate with Fiona.
"You?! How dare you!!"
Because he was stuck in a fixed mindset, Marquis Beshim had never expected that the four nightmares who had helped him break the city shield would actually attack him together.
In the dream world, the four nightmares can mobilize the power of the rules of the inheritance land to attack. Caught off guard, even if he urgently broke away from Fiona's entanglement and defended himself with all his strength, he was still seriously injured.
At this moment, the offensive of both sides was finally completely reversed.
After a series of fierce battles, he was now backstabbed by the four nightmares. The power of the Nightmare Spirit King has been weakened to an unprecedented degree at this moment.
Fiona plus the power of the three four nightmares have now gained the upper hand.
"Well, you guys, it's good!"
If Marquis Beshim still doesn't understand that he has been tricked, then he is not a ninth-level.
Although he didn't know who was targeting him, he found that the situation was a little wrong, so Marquis Beshim decisively opened the space channel and escaped directly from this world.
He had his own confidence. This time he was defeated, but when he recovered from his injuries, no one in this world could stop him.
As for whether he would be hunted down now, Marquis Beshim was not worried. If the four nightmares really dared to catch up, he would give them a lesson they would never forget.
Cursing in his heart, Marquis Beshim controlled the broken body of the Nightmare Spirit King and returned to his small nightmare world.
But before he started to repair, he suddenly sensed that something had invaded this world. From those familiar auras, it seemed that the four nightmares were all there.
They actually dared to chase into this world?
With a sneer in his heart, Marquis Beshim did not make any extra moves, but just waited for them in the center of the world.
The nightmare spirits devoured each other, which also had the effect of recovery. As long as he killed the four nightmares here, his injuries could be quickly recovered.
And this small world was completely under his control. As long as he had a thought, the connection between the four nightmares and the inheritance land would be temporarily cut off in an instant. At that time, without the protection of the power of rules, they would be fish on the chopping board.
Soon, the figures of the four nightmares appeared in his sight. But what made him feel a little strange was that in addition to the four nightmares, there seemed to be another nightmare spirit with an unknown breath present.
And, except for the crazy Desius, the other four nightmare spirits were all wearing a strange black cloak.
"Before I take action, do you have any last words?"
Looking at the four nightmare spirits staring at them like dead people, Marquis Beshim has begun to think about which one to eat first.
But after hearing his words, three of the four nightmares looked at each other strangely and did not respond. Instead, the nightmare spirit with an unknown identity took a step forward and said something that made his face change drastically.
"Sir Beshim, [Ring of Truth] greets you!"
