Chapter 851 Guiding Destiny (7000 Words)

At this moment, outside the rift, elite knights of the city guards in bright armor were on full alert. A high-level mage was holding a staff in the air. It was obvious that the crack in the ground just now was caused by him. There were two other spellcasters standing beside him on alert.

"You have nowhere to escape, pathetic guys. It is the biggest mistake of your life to dare to take that thing!"

The leading spellcaster spoke indifferently, and pointed his staff in the direction of the basement. As an invisible ripple spread, all hidden things were revealed, and the concealment cloaks on the team members were overloaded and scrapped in a crackling sound.

"Arrest everyone here. If anyone dares to resist, behead them on the spot!"

As he waved his hand downward, many soldiers rushed forward, and several soldiers rushed straight to Fiona, thinking that the girl was also a thief's accomplice and was ready to arrest her together.

The sudden change in the situation made the girl stunned for a moment, but she suddenly reacted. At this time, even if she said that she had nothing to do with these thieves, it would be hard for people to believe.

"Don't be stunned! Go!"

Seeing this, as if to confirm Fiona's identity, a member of the team suddenly shouted to the girl, and at the same time tore open the random teleportation scroll in his hand, intending to escape in the chaos.

But what panicked him was that the surrounding space had just been slightly distorted by the magic of the scroll, and was immediately smoothed out again under the suppression of some powerful force.

"Space blockade?! When?"

"Do you think that after you escaped the blockade of the City Lord's Mansion through the teleportation spell, I will still be defenseless against this?"

The high-level mage who led the team spoke sinisterly, staring at the captain of the leading adventurer team, and at the same time swept a space ring on his hand, but never did it himself.

In Fiona's perception, the source of the surrounding space blockade power seemed to be on several soldiers whose armor looked no different from other city guards.

The upper limit of this space blockade is not high. If she shows her true state, she can break it by force.

But the girl was curious about this matter at this time. She wanted to know what these people got in the City Lord's Mansion.

But if she took action now, it would be easy to expose her identity. It is better to wait and see what happens next.

"Ah-"

When the people present with different thoughts were waiting for the soldiers to capture them, suddenly, a dazzling blue beam of light came from an unexpected direction. A soldier who was secretly responsible for maintaining the space blockade was hit by this beam of light and was silently decomposed into dust in an instant.

With a corner of the formation missing, the originally stable space blockade began to fluctuate and was about to collapse.

At the critical moment, the help of the rebels finally arrived.

A spellcaster wearing a dark blue star robe, who changed his appearance and breath with magic, held a staff and stood far away on the tower at the top of the airship airport, with his back to the sun, facing the City Lord's Mansion Mage Corps and many city guards.

"Enemy attack! Be alert!"

This incident immediately shocked the city guards. Under the shrill roar of the knight captain, some soldiers raised their shields and switched to a defensive formation, while the other soldiers increased their offensive, preparing to take down the people in the basement by force with their numerical advantage.

"It's reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"

Seeing this, the rebel team was overjoyed. After suddenly seeing hope, their resistance began to increase.

"Since you're here, there's no need to hide like a mouse, Lakri, we know each other's signature spells very well!"

Looking at the spellcaster who attacked, the leader of the city lord's mansion sneered, and the invisible magic protective force field was stretched out, covering his own soldiers.

"Which eye of yours saw me hiding, Famo?"

The voice of the mysterious spellcaster came faintly in the wind from afar.

"Could it be the eye in the middle of your butt?"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tit-for-tat between the two of them in a few words.

"Haha, since you're here, let's stay together, Rakri! Today I'm going to help my teacher clean up you, the traitor of the school who abandoned the empire and joined the rebels!"

The leader of the City Lord's Mansion, the mage named Famo, laughed in anger. He pointed his staff at the attacker on the spire in the distance, and temporarily ignored everyone in the field, focusing his attention on the mysterious mage who was attacking.

"I just don't want to sink into the abyss with the broken ship destined to destruction, and I don't want to be with the fools who jump from one broken ship to another!"

The attacking spellcaster Rakri was not to be outdone. He also raised his staff and began to gather magic power blatantly, as if he was preparing some powerful spell.

But in secret, the captain of the rebel team, Silver Wolf, received a secret message from Rakri, which pointed out that the key to the space blockade was not the spellcaster pretending to be with Famo, but those soldiers.

While Famo's attention was attracted by Lakri, he immediately killed him and escaped through random teleportation. This was the only chance of survival.

After hearing the news, the captain's eyes fixed, and he glanced at the battlefield situation and took action immediately.

He dared to take on such an extremely dangerous task, so he naturally had his trump card.

A pendant hidden in his clothes at the neck lit up, and the enhanced aura of secondary time acceleration was added to him, so in his perception, the whole world around him slowed down instantly.

This state can last for three seconds. With the help of the acceleration effect, he suddenly moved and temporarily escaped from the blockade of the soldiers.

The next second, a magic gem on his right finger ring shattered, and three directional malicious transformation spells instantly hit three casters disguised as soldiers and responsible for space blockade.

Except for one person who successfully resisted, the other two turned into two sheep with a bleating sound, and the space blockade that was originally maintained suddenly collapsed.

Before the surrounding soldiers could react, he took advantage of the last second of the time acceleration effect to return to the team members again, and at the same time tore open a group teleportation scroll that landed in a safe area outside the city.

After this operation, when the teleportation ripples lit up, although the mage group noticed something was wrong and wanted to block it, the space spell was not that easy to intercept after all.

Moreover, Lacree in the distance also had a telepathic understanding at this moment, and simultaneously sent out multiple ray spells with different effects to several casters, successfully delaying several mages for a moment.

Then, as the teleportation magic took effect, everyone surrounded by soldiers disappeared instantly.

"Hey, personally help them delay time, and that inferior time-accelerating jewelry. Is this your plan, Lamouri?"

However, seeing the target disappear, the expression of the high-level mage Famo calmed down strangely, showing no signs of worry or annoyance.

"It's nothing for you to worry about, Farmer."

Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Lamorui's tone became colder. His task of covering had been completed, and all he needed to do was find an opportunity to escape.

"It's a pity that you don't understand the importance of 'that thing' they stole."

As he spoke, with the airport terminal where Lamorui stood as the center, a huge binding circle suddenly lit up, trapping Lamorui whose expression suddenly changed.

"Do you think I am the final force responsible for protecting the treasure house this time?"

Seeing Lamorui trapped in the trap, Famo suddenly showed a look of ridicule on his face.

"Unfortunately, the safety of that thing is personally responsible for the safety of the Glory Alliance. I just took this opportunity to set a trap to force you out!"

"What?"

Sensing the strong sense of restraint and oppression coming from around him, Lamorui's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

A normal battle between spellcasters and falling into a trap carefully prepared by other spellcasters of the same level are two completely different concepts.

This time, even if he can successfully escape, he may have to lose a lot of trump cards.

And, not only him, listening to the news revealed by Famo's words, I am afraid that the team that had just escaped from the city and thought it was safe is now in greater danger!

"Instead of worrying about other people, why not worry about yourself first?"

As if he knew what Lamorui was thinking, Famo sneered and led several mages and city guards to quickly surround him.

.

….….

"Phew - finally escaped!"

"I was scared to death. I just saw that dog mage and thought that my little life was going to be handed over there."

At this moment, the team of thieves teleported outside the city were unaware of the conversation between the two mages. At this moment, they thought they were finally safe and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't let your guard down too much, our mission is not completed yet!"

After checking the surrounding environment, the team leader Yin Lang breathed out. Although they successfully broke through the space blockade and teleported out, the teleportation point was interfered with to some extent, causing them to fall into the courtyard of a noble manor ten miles away from their original location.

This distance is not a problem for everyone as professionals. Just as everyone was about to rush on, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came.

"Excuse me, what did you take?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, and turned around instantly, and then realized that the person who made the sound was the female mage who had walked into the basement before, and she had also appeared here at some point.

Why did the captain bring this female mage with him? Do you want to draw her into the resistance camp?

Everyone in the team was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at the team leader Silver Wolf who had just used the scroll, only to find that the look on the latter's face was as if he had seen a ghost.

"I'm sorry, what I meant was, what did you take from the city lord's palace before, which led to the whole city being wanted by the city guards? Can you tell me?"

Seeing that no one in the team said anything for a while, Fiona thought for a moment and thought her question was not specific enough, so she spoke again politely.

"Wait a minute, why are you here?!"

At this time, the team leader Silver Wolf finally reacted, drew his sword and pointed it at Fiona, and asked vigilantly.

"This is my home too, of course I can be here."

The girl tilted her head, not caring about the vigilance and hostility of the few people. After all, they were the ones who broke into her home first, and she had no problem chasing them after following the teleportation traces.

"..."

Silver Wolf looked at the manor beside him and was speechless for a moment.

Then you have quite a lot at home.

No, how did she come here? !

Having grasped the crux of the problem, Silver Wolf signaled the team members to disperse their vigilance, while secretly having a headache on how to handle the matter.

After all, there was actually no conflict between them and this female mage. It would be better to say that their actions accidentally involved her, causing her to become a suspect of 'colluding with the rebels', and she was probably wanted at this time.

"As for what we gained in the City Lord's Mansion, it's a long story. If you want to know the specifics, you have to join us, otherwise I can't tell you."

After thinking for a moment, Silver Wolf decided to try to lure Fiona to join the Starfire Resistance Army. After all, a fifth-level spellcaster was considered to have good combat effectiveness.

"You can't escape."

But at this moment, a huge momentum suddenly descended and enveloped the manor.

An aristocratic young man wearing a gold and red aristocratic attire, with purple eyes and golden curly hair, holding a slender and gorgeous silver-white stabbing sword in one hand, appeared silently in front of the gate of the manor, with an elegant gait. Come towards the crowd.

While walking, he swung his sword left and right as if at random, but the space in the manor was temporarily cut open by some force, and he faintly became independent from the main material world, completely blocking everyone's chance to escape through teleportation again.

Although there was only one person coming, the sense of oppression it brought was much stronger than any enemy they had seen before.

"The Honorary Earl of the Glory Alliance, 'Starfall Swordsman' Ashix, please die."

With a smile on his face that said everything was under control, Essix pointed the tip of his sword at everyone. Although there was still some distance, the sharp energy had already locked onto everyone.

Eighth-level powerhouse!

The hearts of everyone in the team sank. This was far beyond what they could handle. Unless a miracle happened, they would have reached the end.

Fiona's expression also became solemn. This is an enemy she must face seriously.

Since she borrowed a body from this world and merged it with the core of the dream inheritance land, the body of "Fiona in Wonderland" is not at hand, so the strength she can exert now may not be much stronger than the opponent.

"Stop it!"

However, it seems that everyone is not destined to die today.

At the critical moment, a being wearing a fluttering blue cloak and surrounded by green vitality magic suddenly rushed from a distance and stopped in front of Essix.

Only level seven?

Immediately sensing the aura of power from the visitor, Fiona was a little confused, and then suddenly felt that the visitor looked familiar.

"Sir Vice Commander!"

"Sir Roach!"

Seeing the person coming, the eyes of everyone in the team suddenly burst out with hope. It seemed that this silhouette could bring them a huge sense of security that could withstand powerful eighth-level enemies.

But Roach?

Hearing this vaguely familiar name in her memory, Fiona quickly recalled some memories of her time in Kallas City and Pamir Academy.

The little grandson of the old woman who sold straw woven straw would later send a straw woven owl to his shy boy on the college float boat.

But afterwards, due to the teachings her fourth brother gave her, she understood what would happen if Luo Qi got too close to her, and Luo Qi never came to see her again, so she gradually forgot about it.

"The blue demon swordsman, Luo Qi, is a lucky commoner who has had an unexpected encounter. He is the deputy commander of the Spark Resistance Army in Kallas Province. Although his strength is only at the seventh level, he has the title of being able to challenge the eighth level..."

Looking at the young man standing in front of him with a determined look, Essix raised his hand and lightly pressed the tip of the sword. In the solemn atmosphere, he spoke out Roach's identity and glory in a leisurely tone.

"Now, I'm curious about how far you can go."

"You're a lackey of the Glory Alliance, I won't lose to you! Even if you risk your life, don't even think about hurting my subordinates!"

Staring warily at the powerful swordsman in front of him, Luo Qi drew out two strange black long swords, one long and one short, found in the ruins, and suddenly blocked the tip of the stabbing sword that came at him from unknown time.

"I'll stop him, you go quickly! You must take what you got back and hand it over to Commander Leo!"

During the fierce battle, Luo Qi did not forget to yell, urging everyone to escape.

"The Struggle of the Ant."

Ashicks was completely dismissive of everyone, and just launched a violent attack on Roach, not worrying that anyone could escape.

His sword moves carried the unique elegance of a nobleman, and the tip of the silver stabbing sword turned into little cold stars, falling like a bright meteor shower, covering Luo Qi's body. The dreamlike scenery contained deadly murderous intent.

Luo Qi, who was a big rank below him in strength, was in danger under the attack, and blood burst out all over his body, but he still stood tenaciously, his eyes always looking for the flaw of Ashix resolutely.

Deep in Luo Qi's body, there is a strong life force that is as endless as a towering tree. Even if he suffered an almost fatal injury to an ordinary person one second, he can recover directly in the next moment.

This allowed Luo Qi, whose hard power was far inferior to Ashicks, to be able to entangle him forcefully. If no accidents occurred, he could even delay it for a long time.

Everyone in the team also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to break the space blockade and escape, but they could not find a way.

After all, it was a blockade personally arranged by an eighth-level being. It was almost impossible to solve for a team whose average strength was less than sixth level.

At this moment, all the changes in the city and outside the city have all fallen under the observation of Anvis who came over.

Although Ashix is ​​very strong, he appears here alone at this time and is destined to be defeated by Roach, the child of destiny.

In the trajectory of destiny, Anvis has seen that although he was seriously injured, Roach still relied on the unique residual blood blast ability of the Son of Destiny to use his power to force Ashix back.

As if it were some kind of ritual, Ashix acted as a 'supporting actor' at this moment, setting off the power of the 'protagonist' Roach in front of Fiona and other audiences.

According to the originally arranged destiny trajectory, if he did not intervene, Fiona would still use the current disguised identity to join the "Starfire" resistance army due to the existence of Roach, and continue to develop a series of subsequent stories.

Although this kind of behavior sounds a bit like a fugitive princess who fell into trouble, but considering the current situation of the Olivendi family that is almost in name only, there is no problem.

However, Avis no longer intends to continue developing this script.

They all like to guide destiny and make up stories, so how about adding him as well.

So, in the next moment, a mysterious knight shrouded in heavy black armor and several meters tall fell from the sky and crashed into the center of the battlefield like a meteorite.

Ashix's previous space blockade was instantly broken, and the terrifying aura emanating from under the armor caused the fierce battle between the two sides to be immediately suspended.

The Knight of Original Sin, from the outer armor, demonized flesh to the core of the structure, was all shaped by Avis himself. After implanting the seed of original sin and absorbing a large amount of the power of original sin on the battlefield, its strength has reached the eighth level limit.

At the same time, as a creation of a ninth-level prophet, it has extremely strong counter-prophecy capabilities. Coupled with the unique chaotic characteristics of the power of original sin, the suppression of fate caused by the child of destiny can be reduced to a minimum.

"It's time to end."

Under the horrified and alert gazes of Essix and Roach, the black knight raised his dark epee, and a hoarse sound like a heavy stone grinding resounded through the battlefield.

The next moment, he slashed a sword at Essix from a distance, and the dim half-moon sword light instantly slashed at the noble young man who was waiting for him.

"Star dust!"

The tip of the latter's stabbing sword lit up like a comet. He struck the weak point of the sword light first, trying to break it, but the next moment he was directly struck by the terrifying power contained in the sword light. Flying hundreds of meters, his aura was getting stronger and weaker, and he was actually injured with just one sword blow.

"Who is that?!"

This terrifying sword shocked everyone present, and the previous members of the thieves team even felt bitter in their mouths.

Although the space blockade was broken by the unknown black knight, they could feel that they had been locked by a huge aura like a natural disaster beast. If they dared to act rashly, they would be greeted by a thunderous sword.

Even the eighth-level Starfall Swordsman Isix was injured by a sword, not to mention their small bodies.

"I came to capture the remnants of the rebels at the request of the high-ranking Glory Alliance, His Majesty the Imperial Marquis Beshim. They stole what Your Majesty was determined to get. If you retreat now, I can still pretend that what happened today did not happen!"

At this time, the injured Ashiks also realized the terror of the enemy. He stared at the mysterious black knight in the field and threatened him fiercely.

"I said...it's time to end!"

But what frightened Esix was that even if he mentioned Beshim's name behind him, the mysterious black knight's eyes remained indifferent, and instead struck him with a stronger second sword.

He wanted to dodge, but under this sword, he only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, as if the whole world had isolated him, and there was no way to hide. He could only block the dim sword light that came slowly.

There was no doubt about the result. Even though he gritted his teeth and took the second sword forcefully, his own condition was equally miserable, with blood all over his body.

Moreover, the support from the Glory Alliance that was supposed to arrive has not yet arrived due to unknown circumstances.

Gritting his teeth in secret, after assessing the current strength of the enemy and ourselves, Essix decisively gave in and fled without even saying harsh words.

As Aixix left, the black knight turned slightly, and his dead and indifferent eyes met Roach, whose body was trembling slightly.

"Thank you for your help. If necessary, we, 'Spark', are willing to join forces with the forces behind you...!!"

The latter gritted his teeth and was about to say thanks, but was horrified to find that the terrifying black knight also slashed at him with his sword.

Then, he experienced what Ashix felt just now.

The dark sword light contains the ultimate and pure attributeless magic power, as if it is deliberately concealing its own power, but because the total amount of magic power is too huge, it gives people a sense of despair and oppression, like the weight of a mountain.

With a sound of 'poof-', a huge crack tens of meters long opened on the ground of the manor behind Roach. Roach, who was facing the sword, was directly embedded in the center of the crack.

The power of this sword instantly exceeded the limit of the recovery power in his body. Luo Qi didn't even have time to hum, blood burst out all over his body, and he fainted directly in the crack.

"Your Excellency, Vice Commander!"

The mood of everyone in the surrounding resistance team was like a roller coaster at the moment, from being hopeful just now to being despairing.

Even the famous 'Starfire' new star in the empire, the blue demon swordsman Luo Qi, couldn't take that sword, so how could they struggle.

Seeing the silent gaze of the black knight turning around, two people even had their legs weakened and collapsed directly on the ground.

Fiona was also nervous, but she couldn't bear to watch Roach die in front of her. The little girl tried to maintain her composure and stared at the Black Knight's movements, while preparing spells in secret, planning to try to escape with these people.

"Things, take them out and stay alive."

As the black knight's harsh and hoarse voice sounded, the team leader Silver Wolf resignedly took off the space ring and threw it to the opponent. After all, even if he chooses to resist, it will be the same if the other party takes away his body.

Somewhat unexpectedly, after the black knight got the ring, he did not directly check the items inside, but leaned on the sword with both hands and fell into silence.

Before the team members could react, a team of professionals suddenly emerged from the surroundings.

"We are from the Hualuo Tianxia Guild, and the knight over there is also one of ours. Everyone, including this lady, please follow me. The general president invites you."

An elf ranger smiled and spoke, as if nothing had happened, and extended an invitation to everyone in a sincere tone.

Looking at each other, they realized that they had no choice but to follow him helplessly.

Fiona also dispersed the ultra-long-distance teleportation magic that she had prepared in secret. The former acquaintance was no longer in danger of life, so she didn't seem to have to run away at the risk of exposing her identity for the time being.

As the group below gradually walked away, in Avis's perspective of fate, the sky had changed color at this time, and the web of fate had set off waves, and the original trajectory had changed drastically at this moment.

At the same time, the space ring that the Black Knight had just obtained was now in Avis's hand.

Avis opened it casually, and the things inside appeared in the air in front of him.

"Is this... some kind of magic circle?"

Without looking at the boxes of magic crystals, Avis examined the strange cylindrical metal device covered with magic inscriptions in front of him with a curious look.

"No... Rather than saying it is a magic circle, it is better to say that it is a magic node, a part of a larger magic circle." (End of this chapter)
