Chapter 739: Result of the Battle
After everything settled, Avis controlled the floating city to slowly escape from the other end of the dream turbulence and away from the battlefield area.
At the last moment of the battle, [Golden Wings] finally relied on an unknown force to break free from the entanglement of the dark tentacles and escaped successfully.
Avis was not surprised by this result. After all, as a direct ninth-level from the four major families of the empire, he always had some life-saving trump cards.
He set up these ambushes, and his initial goal was not to really leave a lot of ninth-level, but to scare the enemy away and leave as many as possible.
If this world where the ancient existence is sleeping is not enough, he will lead the enemy to another dangerous place later.
If the danger is discovered by the enemy, then go to the next one.
There may not be much else in the deep dream world, but there are as many dangers as you want.
Moreover, among the ninth-level chasing the floating city, except for the monsters of Pomona and Songxing Esoteric Cult who may have been prepared, the other ninth-levels are completely hasty.
Although they found the traces of the floating city at the first time, their original goal was not to destroy the truth ring and seize the floating city, but to monitor Fiona's movements.
The sudden appearance of the [truth ring] was a complete surprise to them, but Avis was well prepared.
As an eighth-level prophet, it was not a surprising thing that he successfully forced back the multiple ninth-levels who were chasing behind him.
And the ninth-level who had been hiding in the wreckage of the floating city did not continue to chase after him after successfully avoiding the induction of the unknown ancient existence through the secret art of concealment, and seemed to be afraid of the floating city.
So far, all the enemies chasing behind were solved by Avis.
After solving the crisis of being chased, Avis currently needs to deal with the two ninth-levels trapped in the floating city.
After sending away the two ninth-levels by dividing the floating city into partitions. At present, Marquis Draka and another unknown ninth-level are left in the floating city.
They were the two ninth-rank warriors with the weakest overall strength who broke into the floating city. According to Bomiya's analysis, trapping them would put the least pressure on the floating city.
However, since the main structure of the floating city had become somewhat unstable after the rampage of the four ninth-rank warriors, it was still a bit difficult to trap two ninth-rank warriors at the same time in this state.
After realizing that it was impossible to do anything, Avis evaluated the value of the two and finally chose to throw out the ninth-rank warrior who had hidden his identity, leaving only Marquis Draka.
Although the strength of the two ninth-rank warriors was similar, Marquis Draka's identity was more valuable.
A single opponent below the ninth-rank limit was no threat to the floating city.
Under the threat of the floating city's ultimate weapon [Lightless Moon], the ninth-rank warrior who was thrown out by Avis ran away without hesitation.
And inside the floating city, Marquis Draka, who was left alone, was in trouble.
As a fortress personally controlled by a legendary high-level elf, even if the floating city controlled by Avis was not complete, the main structure had been damaged. But when he focused all his efforts on a single ninth-rank person inside, he was still able to completely suppress him.
After eliminating the interference of other ninth-rank people, Avis asked Bomiya to slowly wear away the various marks left by the ninth-rank people on the surface of the floating city, while activating the multiple weakening and magic silencing arrays inside the floating city to further weaken Marquis Draka.
Avis left Marquis Draka alone for a deeper consideration.
First, as a marquis of the empire, Draka is almost destined to stand on the opposite side of him in the future, so it is better to take the opportunity to get rid of him in advance.
Secondly, Avis also wanted to try whether a real ninth-rank professional could be controlled by the twisted seed.
Although Bishop Yanile was also ninth-rank, he was controlled by Avis when he was eighth-rank. If it were not for the accident of the [Saint Ceremony], he would not have been able to break through the ninth-rank even within a hundred years.
And after Yanile broke through the ninth-rank, the twisted seed's control over him also showed some abnormalities.
Although he would still obey Avis' orders and create a ninth-level one-time wonder for Avis, he would not continue to obey all orders indiscriminately. When Avis' orders were in fundamental conflict with his belief in the Holy Light, he could choose to refuse.
If Yanile before the breakthrough was compared to a fanatic, then after the breakthrough, he changed from a fanatic to a rational believer, and believed in more than one god.
This may be the peculiarity of the ninth-level priest, but Avis had no other samples before and could not be sure.
This time, he planned to try the effect of the twisted seed on ordinary ninth-level people.
The difficulty facing him now is that the twisted seed cannot take effect on targets that are much stronger than himself.
The gap between the ninth level and the eighth level is too large. Avis must first weaken Marquis Draka to a sufficiently weak level, and at the same time prevent him from choosing to self-destruct in despair.
After analyzing the state of Marquis Draka through Bomiya, Avis finally chose the slowest but most successful method.
Through the composite inscription array, the spirit of Marquis Draka was forcibly trapped in a time-like illusion, and a rule-interfering environment was created. While isolating him from the rules of the outside world, his perception was confused, causing him to misjudge his own state.
At the same time, since Draka's life was not threatened, the life-sensing artifact he left in the outside world would not self-destruct, causing it to attract the attention of others.
This method is safe and secure. The only problem is that every second of maintaining these magic arrays consumes astronomical magic power. Even the large element pool of the Mage Tower is not enough to maintain all the magic arrays at full power for ten minutes.
Only the floating city with endless magic power can really use this method to trap a ninth-level for a long time.
.
….….
In the secret base of the [Spark] organization in Silver Gull City, Avis came out of the "deep meditation state" and woke up again.
Although this battle seemed to have caused him a lot of losses and the floating city was seriously damaged, taking the opportunity to eliminate the two priests of the Songxing Esoteric Cult and capturing Marquis Draka was enough to make up for all the losses.
It will take some time for Marquis Draka to be weakened to a sufficient degree.
During this period, the clone on the floating city only needs to keep monitoring Marquis Draka, which will not involve much of his energy. He can now deal with some other things.
For example, investigate the reason why Gray Mist was so fearless in making trouble before.
However, when Avis just contacted other clones, he found out that the situation had changed abnormally.
The prophet ‘Hidden’, who he had previously accepted in the Federation and was currently working under his clone [Man in the Mirror], took the initiative to find his clone and passed him a message.
‘The situation has changed, the gray fog is about to break through, do you want to join?’
