At this moment, outside the rift, an elite knight of the city guard in shining armor was waiting, and a high-level mage was holding a staff hanging in the air. The cracking of the earth just now was obviously his handiwork, and there were two other spellcasters.
The person kept a vigilant posture beside him.
"You have nowhere to escape, pathetic guys, daring to take advantage of that thing is the biggest mistake of your life!"
The leading caster's voice was cold, and his staff pointed far away in the direction of the basement. As an invisible ripple spread, all hidden things were revealed, and the invisibility cloaks worn by everyone in the team were overloaded and scrapped in a burst of crackling sounds.
"Arrest everyone here. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
As he waved his hand downwards, many soldiers immediately swarmed up, and several soldiers came straight towards Fiona, apparently treating the girl as an accomplice of the thief and preparing to arrest her together.
The sudden change in the situation made the girl stunned for a moment, but she suddenly realized that even if she said that she had nothing to do with these thieves, it would be difficult for people to believe it.
"Stop standing there! Let's go!"
Seeing this, as if he wanted 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 take advantage of the chaos to escape.
But what alarmed him was that just as the surrounding space was slightly distorted by the magic of the scroll, it 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 teleportation spells, I will still be defenseless against this?"
The high-level mage who led the team spoke in a sinister tone, staring at the leader of the adventurer team, and at the same time glanced at a space ring in his hand, but never touched it himself.
In Fiona's induction, the source of the surrounding space blocking power seemed to be on the bodies of several soldiers whose armor looked no different from other city guards.
The upper limit of this space blocking power is not high, and if she shows her true state, she can break it forcibly.
But the girl became curious about this matter at this time. She wanted to know what these people got in the city lord's mansion.
But if she takes action directly now, her identity will be exposed easily, so it is better to wait and see what happens next.
"ah--"
When people with different thoughts were waiting for the soldiers to arrest them, suddenly, a dazzling blue beam of light struck from an unexpected direction. A soldier who was secretly responsible for maintaining the space blockade was hit by this beam of light and was silent for a moment.
is broken down into dust.
As the formation lost a corner, the originally stable space blockade suddenly began to fluctuate and was about to collapse.
At the critical moment, the resistance's help finally arrived.
A caster wearing a dark blue star robe, who used magic to change his appearance and aura, was holding a staff and standing on the tower at the top of the airship airport in the distance, with his back to the sun, and the mage group of the city lord's palace and many other people present.
The city guards faced each other from a distance.
"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 other soldiers stepped up their offensive, preparing to take down everyone in the basement by force with their numerical advantage.
"It's reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!"
Seeing this, the resistance team was overjoyed. After suddenly seeing hope, their resistance began to become stronger.
"Now that we're here, there's no need to be so secretive like a mouse, Lacrae, we know each other's signature spells very well!"
Looking at the spellcaster who made a sneak attack, the leading mage from the city lord's palace sneered, and the invisible magic protective field opened up, covering his own soldiers.
"Which of your eyes saw how secretive I was, Famo?"
In the distance, the voice of the mysterious spellcaster came faintly in the wind.
"Could it be the eye in the middle of your butt?"
As the two spoke a few words, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tit-for-tat.
"Haha, since you are here, let's stay together, Lacree! Today I will clean up the teacher for you, the traitor of the school who betrayed the empire and joined the rebellion!"
The leading mage of the City Lord's Mansion named Famo laughed angrily. He pointed his staff at the attacker on the tower in the distance. He temporarily ignored everyone in the room and focused his attention on the mysterious mage who was attacking.
.
"I just don't want to sink into the abyss with the broken ship that is destined to be destroyed, let alone the fool who jumps from one broken ship to another!"
Not to be outdone, the incoming spellcaster Lacree also raised his staff and blatantly began to gather magic power, as if he was preparing some kind of powerful spell.
But in the secret, Silver Wolf, the captain of the resistance team, received a secret transmission from Lacree, which pointed out that the key to space blockade was not the bumbling spellcasters beside Famo, but those soldiers.
While Farmer's attention is attracted by Lacrae, kill him immediately and escape through random teleportation. This is the only chance of survival at the moment.
After hearing the news, the squad leader condensed his eyes, scanned the battlefield situation, and took action immediately.
He dares to take on such an extremely dangerous task, and he naturally has his trump card.
A pendant hidden in the clothes around his neck lit up, and the enhanced aura of secondary time acceleration was added to his body, so in his perception, the entire world around him slowed down in an instant.
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 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 accompanying mage group noticed something was wrong and wanted to block it, the space spell was not that easy to intercept after all.
Moreover, Lacrae in the distance also had a telepathic understanding at this moment, and simultaneously fired multiple ray spells with different effects at 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, upon seeing the target disappearing, the expression on the high-level mage Famo's face became strangely calm, showing no signs of worry or annoyance.
"It's nothing for you to worry about, Famo."
Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Lamorui's tone became colder. His cover mission 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, Farmer 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 escape successfully, 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 Yinlang breathed out. Although they successfully broke through the space blockade and teleported out, the teleportation point was disturbed to some extent, causing them to land in the courtyard of a noble manor ten miles away from the original location.
middle.
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? Did he want to drag 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 guard, 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 after them 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 on earth did she follow her?!
Having grasped the crux of the problem, Silver Wolf signaled the team members to disperse their alert while secretly having a headache on how to deal with 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 must 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.
A young aristocratic 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.
As he walked, he swung his sword to the left and right as if at random, but the space in the manor was temporarily cut open by some force, and he was faintly 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' Esix, 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 a distance, the sharp energy had already locked onto everyone.
Eighth level strong man!
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 the body of "Fiona in Wonderland" is borrowed from this world and fused with the core of the dream inheritance land, and the original body of "Fiona in Wonderland" is not at hand, 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 Ashix.
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 give 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 Karlas City and Pamir Academy.
The little grandson of the old woman who sold straw knitting later gave a straw owl to his shy boy on the college float boat.
But afterwards, because her fourth brother taught her what would happen if Luo Qi got too close to her, and Luo Qi never came to see her again, she gradually forgot about it.
"The blue demon swordsman, Luo Qi, is a lucky civilian 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 a solemn atmosphere, he spoke out Roach's identity and glory in a leisurely tone.
"Now, I'm very 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 stopped 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."
Ashix ignored everyone and just launched a violent attack on Roach, not worrying that anyone could escape.
His sword moves carried the unique elegant style of an aristocrat, and the tip of the silver stabbing sword turned into little cold stars, falling down like a bright meteor shower, covering Luo Qi's body. The dreamlike scenery contained deadly murderous intent.
Roach, 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 Isix's flaw.
Deep within Luo Qi's body, there was a strong life force that was as endless as a towering tree. Even if he suffered an almost fatal injury to an ordinary person one second, he could recover directly in the next moment.
This allowed Luo Qi, whose hard power was far inferior to that of Aixix, 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 Essix is very strong, he appears here alone at this time and is destined to be defeated by Roach, the son of destiny.
In the trajectory of destiny, Avis has seen that although he was seriously injured, Roach still relied on the unique residual blood explosion 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, highlighting 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 has fallen into the hands of a gangster, considering the current situation of the Olivendi family that is almost in name only, there is no problem.
However, Anvis 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, the demonized flesh and the core of the construction, were all shaped by Anvis 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 ability. Coupled with the unique chaotic characteristics of the power of original sin, it can minimize the suppression of fate caused by the child of destiny.
"It's time to end."
Under the horrified and alert gazes of both Essix and Roach, the black knight raised his dark heavy sword, 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 officials of the 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 Essix also realized the terror of the enemy. He stared at the mysterious black knight in the field and threatened him sternly.
"I said...it's time to end!"
But what frightened Esix was that even if he mentioned the name of Behem's Crown behind his back, the mysterious black knight's eyes remained indifferent, and instead struck him with a second, stronger 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, 'Xinghuo', 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 'poof-' sound, 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 grunt, 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. They went 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 her best to maintain her composure and stared at the Black Knight's movements. At the same time, she secretly prepared spells and planned 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 chose to resist, it would still be the same if the opponent took it from his body.
What was somewhat unexpected was that after the Black Knight got the ring, he did not directly inspect the items inside it. Instead, he held the sword in both hands and fell into a state of silence.
Before everyone in the team could react, a group of professionals suddenly appeared from around them.
"We are members of the Hua Luo Tian Xia Guild. That knight over there... is also one of ours. Everyone, including this young lady, please come with me. The president invites you."
An elf ranger opened his mouth with a smile, as if nothing had happened, and extended an invitation to everyone in a sincere tone.
Looking at each other, everyone understood that they had no choice but to follow him helplessly.
At this moment, Fiona also dissipated the ultra-long-distance teleportation magic that she had secretly prepared. The lives of her former acquaintances were no longer in danger, and it seemed that she did not need to run away at the risk of exposing her identity for the time being.
As the group of people below gradually moved away, from Anvis's perspective of fate, the sky had changed color, the web of fate had made waves, and the original trajectory had changed significantly at this moment.
At the same time, the space ring that the Black Knight just obtained has now appeared in Anvis's hand.
Anvis opened it casually, and the contents inside appeared in mid-air in front of him.
"This is... some kind of magic circle?"
Without looking at the boxes of magic crystals, Anvis inspected the strange cylindrical metal device covered with magic inscriptions in front of him with curious eyes.
"No...it's not so much a magic circle as it is a magic node, part of a larger magic circle."
