Capítulo 724: Chapter 251: Support and Evasion

“Uncle Pomona?!”

As the Floating City descended suddenly and took a completely unprepared Pomona with it, Fiona couldn’t help but let out a surprised whisper.

The situation changed too fast, making it hard for her to keep up.

“Don’t worry, Fei, Uncle Pomona is a powerful Ninth Rank, he will definitely be safe.”

At this moment, the calm words of Anvis, coming from her side, helped the confused girl, who didn’t know what to do due to Pomona’s sudden disappearance, to regain her composure.

“Hmm, that makes sense. Should we try to assist him? If Uncle could return, wouldn’t that be a tremendous help to us?

Don’t look at me like that, I’m also very formidable in the Dream World!”

After grasping the current situation, Fiona looked at Anvis for advice, seemingly eager to try.

She remembered the feeling of controlling the rules with the power from the Inheritance Land within the Dream World. Within the range affected by the Inheritance Land, she was almost like an omnipotent creator in the Dream World.

“Don’t be reckless, Fei, our top priority now should be to ensure our own safety! That’s the best help we can offer to Uncle Pomona, who risked his safety to distract the enemies for us!

Although he has now left with the Floating City, which is suspected to be the Truth Circle, we’d better follow his instructions from earlier and first find a safe place to hide for a while.”

Anvis quickly dissuaded her from this dangerous idea.

He could understand the girl’s thoughts; in the eyes of an uninformed Fiona, if they could save Pomona, their side would gain a key Ninth Rank combatant.

But setting aside the possibility that the other party might have already betrayed them, there are more than one Ninth Ranks currently tracking the Floating City. For Fiona, these pursuers are just as dangerous as the Songxing Secret Sect.

Compared to the Floating City, Fiona’s own value is not any lesser, and what happens in the Deep Dream World is hard to investigate. Should they encounter trouble by chance, there is no need to elaborate on what could happen.

With Fiona’s half-baked rule power, which she controlled with the “Fiona’s Dreamland,” facing even one Ninth Rank would be difficult, let alone multiple Ninth Ranks.

Furthermore, when Pomona was forcibly taken away by Anvis, some traces he hadn’t managed to clear in time were exposed.

Atop the terrace of the City Lord Mansion, there had actually been a hidden beacon left by Pomona.

Ninth Ranks who know this beacon’s secret frequency could use it to directly teleport to the beacon’s area.

The reason the Ninth Rank Limit Guardian had not noticed the situation on the terrace was that there was some odd power always lingering there, confusing all external mental perceptions and making it impossible to detect any problems.

But after Pomona disappeared, the power that concealed everything lost its source, and the true situation on the terrace was finally revealed. Although the Ninth Rank Guardians were now occupied, Anvis immediately noticed everything.

“Hmm, I understand now! Brother, where are we going now?”

After listening to Anvis, Fiona felt that it made sense.

Watching the battle unfolding in the sky, Anvis also contemplated how he could get Fiona out of there safely.

Although Pomona had already been forcefully taken away, the current situation was still very unfavorable for them.

In the sky, two Ninth Rank Angel Envoys from the Songxing Secret Sect were pressing down on a Ninth Rank from the Alfred Family left to guard Fiona. Moreover, in the enemy’s pre-prepared domain blockade, the Ninth Rank had no opportunity to send out a distress signal.

“…Hmm?”

As Anvis contemplated whether to risk the Temis Statue operating alone to protect their escape, the battle took an unexpected turn.

At the critical moment when the Alfred Family’s Ninth Rank was almost overwhelmed, a new Ninth Rank reinforcement arrived in time to help contain an Angel Envoy from the Songxing Secret Sect, greatly relieving his pressure.

It was the Ninth Rank Sword Saint, Silver Moon’s Edge, who served as a Guest Elder and Tribute to the Fourth Princess.

Realizing Fiona’s situation was extremely perilous, and considering Fiona’s own value along with the favor of the Time Reversal Crystal Egg previously given, Princess Auswia finally decided to offer Fiona a helping hand.

However, since she was in the midst of battle with the Eldest Prince, it was inconvenient for Auswia to act personally, and the other Ninth Ranks could not easily make a move, so she could only request the recent Guest Elder powerhouse she had recruited to come.

While a great battle among the Ninth Rank beings erupted in the sky, a small squad of elite Magic Knights clad in dark Armor bearing the Rose Knight Order’s insignia, led by an Eighth Rank Knight Commander, entered the City Lord Mansion.

“Star Lord, Mister Anvis, I am Night Star, the commander of the third division of the Rose Knight Order, and I convey Princess Auswia’s most sincere greetings to you both!”

Upon seeing Fiona and Anvis, the Knight Commander removed her helmet and bowed slightly to them. Her long, silver-white curly hair naturally fell to her shoulders, revealing herself to be a beautiful female Knight.

“Time is pressing, and this place has now become very dangerous. Although Her Highness has arranged for Silver Moon’s Edge to support us, the enemy’s strength is formidable, and it’s difficult to repel them quickly.

To prevent any unexpected events, I must ask both of you to wear the Armor of the Knight Order and follow us out of here, to a place of safety prepared by the Princess where you can take refuge for a while.”

After the greeting, the Knight Commander quickly explained the purpose of their visit and alluded to the fact that Silver Moon’s Edge’s support was entirely due to Princess Auswia’s efforts.

“That would be appreciated, Night Star,” replied Anvis.

After exchanging a brief glance with Fiona, Anvis nodded in agreement.

Having another Eighth Rank to distract the enemies was more than welcome. Most importantly, he sensed no danger, so there was at least no harm in accompanying them.

After reaching an agreement, Fiona called for her personal maid Annie, and then the group, disguised in new Armor, swiftly set off again.

By now, Silver Gull City was on fire in many places, numerous Alien God believers in disguise had risen up, setting fires and creating havoc throughout the city, drawing the attention of the City Guard Army.

Some Professionals, who were already of dubious repute, even began to take advantage of the chaos to loot. Although the Star Domain’s City Guard were trying to thwart them and put out fires everywhere, the number of enemies was too great, and they were momentarily locked in a stalemate.

The fiercely burning houses made the night sky glow a dark red. Explosions and cries of despair filled the air, and intense fights between robed believers and Guards could be glimpsed everywhere, recalling the apocalyptic scenes described in the Holy Scriptures.

The town’s residents could only shiver in their homes, praying for the battle to end soon.

Fortunately, with many Mechanical Demon Statues scattered throughout the city to put out fires and maintain order, no excessive casualties had occurred yet.

“Found you!”

Just as the Rose Knight Order’s squad was escorting Fiona and Anvis through a back alley to the outskirts of the city, a dark voice suddenly rose from behind them.

One by one, Alien God believers dressed in dark green robes and wearing eerie, bone-white masks appeared at the entrance of the alley, led by a figure resembling a pure shadow.

At the same time, a cage-like structure formed of dark shadows arose at the other end of the alley, blocking everyone’s path.

“Who are you?”

Turning around warily to look at the host of enemies, the Eighth Rank Knight Commander Night Star drew her sword and pointed it at the approaching foes.
