Chapter 728 The Second Attack
"What happened?"
In Pamir Academy, Avis's face suddenly changed.
Pomona's unhesitating attack caught him off guard, but also made him grasp some key points.
Encountered the attack of Songxing Secret Cult...asked for help from the Duke...returned injured...the family's ninth-level extreme guardian went out to investigate...temporarily took over the position of guarding Fiona...
"Wait...there's something wrong with Pomona?!!"
This terrible possibility flashed through his mind, and an unspeakable chill spread through Avis' body.
Inside traitors are always harder to guard than outside enemies. If Pomona really rebelled, it means that Fiona is already in great danger.
But Avis couldn't figure it out. As a ninth-level, what exactly was the reason for Pomona to betray the family?
Even in the previous life, when the Olivendi family was almost shattered, many vassal nobles and some family collateral members betrayed, there was no case of ninth-level betrayal, and even Pomona died for the family.
As for the benefits, for the ninth level, what benefits can be greater than the family's ongoing experiment to break through the legendary barrier?
Even if the Songxing Secret Cult also tempted with the benefits of breaking through the legendary, this kind of alien god cult has no credibility at all.
Avis felt that he was probably still missing some key information in this matter.
Although there are still many puzzles, whether Pomona really betrayed or not, from his behavior of not hesitating to attack Levin Boli, the city lord's adjutant, this dangerous factor must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Without further ado, Avis immediately left the academy through the teleportation array to create proof that he suddenly left the academy.
At the same time, Avis used a guiding crystal stone that he had previously placed in the city lord's mansion as the coordinates and urgently teleported a new clone.
However, this time, he did not simulate the appearance of Adjutant Boli, but appeared completely in the original form. After all, Adjutant Boli should have been "dead" in Pomona's eyes.
Due to the urgency of time, the power of this clone was not strong, and it only played a role in observing on the scene and attracting the enemy's attention.
As the transmission ended, Anvis quickly rushed to Fiona's location.
As it was late at night, Fiona had returned to the master bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion. She was wearing soft bunny pajamas and curled up on the bed, playing arcane cards with the kitten Kate and the little dragon Fia.
"Meow! [Activate the field card [Bone Altar], sacrifice [Soul Feast], [Dragon Skeleton], [Plague Maker], and summon the Plague Bone Dragon Osanavis!]"
At this moment, the kitten stretched out its fluffy white claws and waved forward with great momentum.
On its field, a hideous black and green plague bone dragon instantly appeared on the white bone altar, roaring silently in the direction of Fiona's field.
Because their own strength will increase synchronously with Fiona, when the girl's current strength breaks through the eighth level, the kitten Kate and the little dragon Fia also break through to the peak of the seventh level, and their intelligence is no less than that of human professionals.
Looking at the terrifying bone dragon opposite, Fiona suddenly showed a sly smile of success.
"Activate the secret card [Rebellion] to change the probability of an existence on the enemy's field to your own camp. Activate the secret card [The Price of Death] to force [Rebellion] to take effect on undead beings."
So, in Kate's eyes of "this person bullying the kitten", the black and green bone dragon instantly came to Fiona's field. Kate, who had consumed too many resources to summon the plague bone dragon, was immediately in crisis.
Fortunately, there was the help of the elemental dragon Fia, so that Kate was not killed on the spot.
However, when the three "people" were fighting fiercely, Avis suddenly appeared, which temporarily stopped the game.
"Fourth brother? Why... are you here?"
Looking at Avis who suddenly appeared in his original appearance, Fiona was stunned for a moment, and almost asked why he restored his appearance, but in the end she changed her words a little stiffly.
"Well... I'm a little worried about your safety. I just happened to have nothing to do in the academy, so I came over here to see you."
Originally, he was going to tell her that Pomona might have rebelled, but the words were already on his lips, and Avis also temporarily changed what he wanted to say.
He had no direct evidence to prove that Pomona had rebelled, and once he opened his mouth, Pomona would probably explode immediately.
Think about it from another perspective. If he were Pomona, he would definitely cover Fiona's location with his mental power at all times before taking action.
Because of his identity as Fiona's guardian, even if another ninth-level extreme guardian of the family noticed his actions, he would not think there was anything wrong.
Although Avis was a little confused, why did the family guardian seem to have no reaction even when Pomona just used the power of rules to kill his clone.
"Then..."
'Boom boom boom——'
'Buzz——'
Just as Fiona was about to say something, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly shook violently, accompanied by the dark green flames rising into the sky, and the huge explosion and the sound of the City Lord's Mansion's protective shield breaking almost sounded at the same time.
"You guys again?!"
In midair, the figure of the angry family guardian emerged. The silver vertical pupil between his eyebrows suddenly opened, and a thin beam of ice-blue light was connected to a black shadow that seemed to be integrated with the night sky.
"Again, hand over the [Star]."
Sensing that he was being locked, the shadow simply stopped hiding and spoke to the guardian calmly.
"Delusion!"
With a cold snort, the guardian said no more and rushed towards the shadow with a powerful invisible icy momentum. The shadow did not dodge, but raised the black stone scepter in his hand and took the blow head-on.
After all, his purpose of coming here this time was just to temporarily delay the guardian of the Olivendi family.
"Come with me, it's not safe here anymore. We need to move to a safe place temporarily."
As the battle broke out in the sky, Pomona pushed open Fiona's door, glanced at the two people in the room, and spoke with a serious look, without any surprise at the existence of Avis.
"Hey? I see."
Fiona was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Although there was no precedent for moving positions during a battle before, this time it was probably because the enemy was very strong.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty Pomona, where are you going to take us to for refuge?"
Although he was a little anxious, Avis still spoke calmly and tried to test him.
"Of course it is the safe place prepared by the family for you. You will know when you arrive."
Pomona waved his hand perfunctorily and prepared to take the two people in front of him away.
But at this time, the faces of Pomona and Fiona suddenly changed.
At the same time, from behind Pomona, a beam of blazing platinum light shot out from the void, suddenly submerging Pomona's figure.
At the critical moment, Avis finally let the leader of the [Ring of Truth] control the floating city in time, jump out of the deep dream world, and block Pomona.
"I have long guessed that at the critical moment, you rats may not be able to bear it and run out to pick fruits."
However, although hit by the sudden attack, Pomona sneered strangely.
The next moment, under the attack of the purifying light from the floating city, Pomona's body suddenly turned into ice crystals and dissipated. It was just an ice clone!
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, a thin ice-white transparent beam suddenly hit the bottom of the floating city. A large piece of frost instantly condensed on the magic shield there, and then shattered.
At the end of this terrifying beam, Pomona's figure appeared intact from the void.
