Capítulo 730: Chapter 257 Trap

After resolving the issue with the Songxing Secret Sect, the pursuers behind included Marquis Draka, a Ninth Rank Dragon Knight from the Aslade Family, two Ninth Rank Tributes from the Royal Family, and three Ninth Rank Professionals with hidden identities.

Besides, there were also two Ninth Rank Magicians from the Alfred Family who were currently always trapped in the Floating City’s Dream Realm Domain.

In Pomiya’s analysis and sensing, the biggest threat to the Floating City came from the Empire Family’s pursuers, as well as one of those three with a hidden identity.

Undoubtedly, the Empire Family was the most wary of the existence of the Truth Circle.

Whether it was the behavior displayed by the Truth Circle or the slogan of ‘reviving the Ancient Magic Empire,’ everything implied that they were irreconcilable enemies with the Empire.

Especially when such a Resistance Organization acquired a Ninth Rank Leader and a Floating City, the threat level escalated from an annoying mosquito to a venomous snake lurking in the dark.

Therefore, the Royal Family has always been the most concerned about eliminating the Truth Circle. Even now, during the special period of the Crown Prince’s competition for the throne, the special agency of the Royal Family responsible for the Truth Circle was not much affected.

As for those three unknown Ninth Rankers, it does not necessarily mean they are reclusive Ninth Rankers within the Empire’s border; they could also be undercover agents planted by the other two great empires of the Continent.

Given the presence of Fiona, suspected to be the ‘Prophetic Star,’ it would be quite normal for the Star Domain to have one or two Ninth Rankers keeping watch.

After confirming the specific composition of the pursuers, the next step was targeted handling.

What could be confirmed now is that, relying on his understanding of the Deep Dream World, and after getting rid of the most persistent Songxing Secret Sect, the other pursuers were currently at a distance from him, granting him a short period of respite.

Now, the first thing to deal with were the two Ninth Rank Magicians from the Alfred Family.

After avoiding the risk of being sandwiched by multiple Ninth Rankers, the impact of these two who had intruded alone on the Floating City was not considered significant.

Anvis directly severed the part of the Floating City carrying them and then threw it into a natural Dream Realm Mysterious Domain—a special natural phenomenon of the Deep Dream World.

According to research in the Magic World, they are composed of countless ‘dead’ fragments of Dream Realms. Carrying the world’s unwillingness to face its impending doom, countless twisted and disorderly fragments of Dream Worlds mixed together, forming the Dream Realm Mysterious Domain scattered throughout the Inversion Layer.

Lesser Dream Explorers who accidentally fall into it could even get lost forever, and even Ninth Rank powerhouses would not be able to extricate themselves in a short time.

After getting rid of the two Ninth Rank Magicians from the Alfred Family, the next pursuers in line to deal with were Marquis Draka.

Marquis Draka seemed to harbor a considerable hostility towards the Truth Circle. Upon detecting the location of the Floating City, he pursued it almost regardless of the cost.

Now he was the one chasing the fastest, with the Empire’s Tributes and other Ninth Rankers almost all left behind by him.

Anvis was not clear why Draka was acting this way; surely it couldn’t be because he was just lucky enough to have found the Sword of King Selection.

In the midst of this pursuit, the Floating City finally arrived at the second battlefield chosen by Anvis.

.….….

“The enemies the boss spoke of are coming! Are you ready?”

Hiding on the outer layer of a Dream Realm, sensing the faint pressure coming from a distant land, Despair’s Black Abyss licked his lips, as if he saw a kind of rare and exquisite delicacy.

The despair of a Ninth Rank powerhouse, how he yearned to taste it.

“Darkness shall eventually envelop everything. No matter how mighty the existence, they cannot resist the fall of night.”

Dark Tidis spoke indifferently; at his side, the thick darkness transformed into a mist-like vast area, shrouding the small Dream World beside him as if concealing and suppressing something.

“The will of the superior must be carried out.”

The peach-colored wings of Desire’s Lilith unfolded, with bright red Magic Arrays flickering in her pupils.

“The entire Dream World is gradually descending into madness.”

The Madness of Desius, half-tree and half-elf, quietly ‘rooted’ itself on the bubble-like outer wall of the Dream World, swaying its dark green vast crown, making a soft rustling noise.

The existence of the Four Nightmares was Anvis’s second line of defense that had been prepared.

In the Dream World, where the Four Nightmares control part of the Dream Realm’s rules, each is considered as half a Ninth Rank Professional.

In the situation of the prepared against the unprepared, combined with the presence of the Floating City, Anvis could completely set up an ambush for the pursuers from behind.

As the Floating City gradually reached the predetermined location, a sudden current of Dream Chaos spontaneously appeared in front of the Floating City’s flight path.

Seemingly unable to avoid in time, the Floating City was suddenly engulfed by this sudden Dream Chaos, instantly starting to bump around within the chaos like a headless fly.

A moment later, the fastest runner, Marquis Draka, caught up with the Floating City that was ‘trapped’ by the Dream Chaos ahead.

However, after observing from a distance, he prudently did not rush forward directly but remained hanging far behind, waiting for the other Ninth Rank to take action together.

Although he was eager to grind the entire Truth Circle to dust, Marquis Draka still maintained his composure.

After all, that was the Floating City, the highest magical creation of High Elf civilization, and the villains of the notorious Truth Circle.

Rushing up to take vengeance recklessly, it was easy to put oneself in danger. It mattered little if this body was destroyed, but if the coordinates of the Truth Circle were lost again, it would be difficult to come across them next time.

In his patient waiting, the Ninth Rank Tribute of the Empire Family, the Dragon Knights of the Aslade Family, and three other Ninth Rank Professionals arrived one after another.

“Haha! That Floating City has been entangled by the Dream Chaos, this is a great opportunity! Let’s take it down quickly while we can!”

Seeing this, the Ninth Rank Dragon Knight of the Aslade Family, “Golden Wings,” laughed heartily, raising his Riding Spear and signaling to the surrounding Ninth Rank to charge together.

“What if it’s a trap?”

A Ninth Rank Tribute of the Empire poured cold water on the enthusiasm, drawing out a delicate crystal-like magic wand from his ring, cautiously pointing it towards the direction of the Floating City.

However, moments later, the wand showed no change, unable to anticipate any information; the feedback from the wand made his brow furrow even more.

“What is there to fear? Trap or no trap, what difference does it make? Are you just going to stand here and watch it escape the Dream Chaos?”

Shaking his head disdainfully, “Golden Wings” raised his Riding Spear and launched an assault on the Floating City.

In the midst of the charge, he and his Giant Dragon mount became one in spirit, with dazzling golden light gathering at the tip of his spear like a shooting star. Golden Magic Fighting Energy trailed behind him like long wings, resembling a pair of huge unfolded wings.

Owing to the special nature of the Dragon Knight, this blow was equivalent to the combined strength of two Ninth Rank Professionals.

As he initiated the Attack, the other Ninth Rank exchanged glances and, instead of attempting to land directly on the Floating City, released Spells from a distance to test the reality of the Floating City.
