Chapter 391: Chapter 166 Demolition Success

The act of looting the Secret Vault within the grey mist base aligns precisely with Anvis’s current needs.

He had long made plans, using his prophetic foresight, to independently gather a batch of resources from the outside world to grow a covert force, away from the watchful eyes of the family.

The family’s resources could be used for public forces, but the force he was secretly assembling couldn’t rely on resources mobilized by the family; it required other primary channels of resource supply.

Otherwise, the movement of resources would easily connect him to the forces under his command.

After summoning the Temis Statue’s Annihilation Magic Beam, Anvis began to swiftly plunder the last dozen of Dark Gold display cabinets.

Unlike the other cabinets, those in the Dark Gold display cabinets were all Ninth Level resources and Mysterious Objects.

Under time pressure, he no longer bothered with any pretense, instead directly employing magic force to break the locks, aiming to clean out all the display cabinets in the shortest time possible.

For this, he even temporarily created a clone to sweep through in tandem.

He also used special magic to temporarily seal the Secret Vault’s door and walls, preventing the numerous Spellcasters, guard Demon Statues, and other defensive systems of the vault from entering for a short time.

All of this, however, was also perceptible to the Grey Mist outside the underground base.

Yet, due to the recent terrifying Annihilation Beam, and the fear that the legendary Truth Circle might have other trump cards, he decided against returning, prioritizing his own safety.

Just now, he had clearly perceived that ‘Fiona’s’ body was completely annihilated in the Magic Power deluge, with no possibility of survival.

And as a Prophet, Grey Mist preferred not to engage in pointless frontal combat with the enemy.

No matter how precious the resources in the Secret Vault were, they were not worth more than his life.

At the same time, he had urgently contacted Star and several other higher-ups of the Eye of the Gate, requesting their support.

Furthermore, having temporarily left the danger zone, he began to suspect whether the girl who had just been annihilated in the attack was indeed the so-called Star.

Someone carrying the ‘Star’s Destiny’ was essentially an ultimate enhanced version of the Child of Destiny; how could they possibly die so easily from a standard attack?

Even if that was a Limit-breaking Attack, she shouldn’t have died so effortlessly.

As intense doubt flickered through Grey Mist’s mind, the figure of Star wearing a black hooded robe reappeared beside him. Also appearing was the current Third Seat Knight of the Right Hand of the Eye of the Gate — the Night Knight.

“How are things? Where’s the enemy?”

Glancing at the secret base with a massive ‘skylight’ opened in it, Star turned to look calmly at Grey Mist.

In her view, as long as Grey Mist himself wasn’t dead, the situation wasn’t too bad.

“The enemy is currently raiding the base’s Secret Vault, suspected to be a person from the Truth Circle, just recently making use of a special attack by the Temis Statue. But Star, are you really certain that the one you brought back is indeed Fiona?”

Grey Mist briefly explained the situation and then directly questioned after looking at Star.

“I am certain. The person I took from the academy is indeed her, and the test results from the Magic Item you provided indicated no issues with the target,” Star responded, glancing at Grey Mist in slight confusion.

“That is rather strange then, because the target of that recent Annihilation Attack was her, and what’s notable is that it was actually successful!”

With Star’s confirmation, Grey Mist looked at everything with some puzzlement, struggling to understand.

“Could it be that she is not the vessel for Star’s Destiny? No, that’s not right! I had already confirmed just now, she is at least a Child of Destiny. With the Level of Power of Destiny she wielded, she should not have died so easily.”

Gradually, the Grey Mist also became aware of the significant doubts in this matter.

“Your excellency Grey Mist, shall we counterattack now?”

Looking at the underground base that had been silent from the start until now, the Night Knight habitually asked.

“Let’s counterattack, and let’s test just how powerful the legendary Truth Circle is.”

Grey Mist nodded, with the Ninth Rank support of the Star and Night Knight, he felt their formation was sufficiently secure.

In his perception, the number of invaders was only one.

Although a terrifying attack had just been unleashed, Grey Mist was very clear that without the energy supply from the Eternal Core, a power-hungry behemoth like the Themis Statue wouldn’t be able to launch a second attack of the same magnitude in a short period of time.

And with the Star, at the Ninth Rank Limit, on their side, even if the enemy was also at the Ninth Rank Limit, they could ensure that they held the advantage.

Through the passage created by the Annihilation Magic Beam, the three were about to enter.

But, they immediately realized, there was no need to anymore.

Light!

A blinding white light, so intense it almost made the earth translucent, suddenly burst forth from the tunnel.

Accompanied by a dense Curse Field and terrifying high temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, the ground below swelled violently. The central passage carved out by the Light of Annihilation resembled a volcanic crater, erupting with a truly intense flow of fire.

Faced with this fearsome power, Star took action directly, enveloping the entire underground base with her own Domain.

Under the influence of Rule Power, the surging energy became docile, obediently settling down like a kitten, and ceased to spread any further.

A widespread underground explosion that could have reached far was thus swiftly suppressed and dispelled by her.

At the same time, however, they completely lost track of Anvis.

.….….

Using a nuclear bomb to destroy the underground base was a deliberate act by Anvis to erase all traces of his presence.

To prevent Grey Mist from directly prophesying to him through some traces, Anvis simply used a Magic Nuclear Weapon to turn everything he left behind into nothing.

The nuclear bomb used by Anvis this time had undergone a second modification in its production process, and its power was several times that of the one previously used on the island.

After placing and temporarily concealing the nuclear bomb, he made his escape from the Dream Realm through the dream passage previously opened by the Themis Statue attack, carrying a box of items with him.

As for the possibility of being chased by the enemy, Anvis was not very worried. The dream passage had been specially treated by him, such that as soon as he entered the Gate, the direction of the passage would become scrambled once again.

Even if the enemy did catch up, he had a series of countermeasures in place.

And as for broad and vague prophecies, Anvis didn’t care about them.

His current identity was ‘Fiona’, and prophecies about Fiona’s whereabouts would result in either the Moon Castle or a failed prophecy.

Before her disappearance, Fiona had indeed lived in Moon Castle for a long time, so arriving at this conclusion through prophecy seemed quite reasonable.

Moreover, prophesying to this extent was already a limit; attempting to further peep into Fiona’s current state was almost impossible.

As an ancient castle that had been passed down through the Olivendi Family for thousands of years, Moon Castle also had measures in place to counter Prophecy Magic, and at a time when the Continent’s sole Ninth Rank Prophet was in retreat, there was really not much worry about the peeping of prophets.
