Chapter 371: The Core of Eternity

In the real world, the two ninth-level masters were somewhat puzzled as they looked at the countless students who suddenly appeared before them.

The dream teleportation just now was obviously done intentionally by someone.

In other words, the mysterious man who is suspected of controlling the city is actually likely to be on the side of the Gloria Empire, or at least has good intentions towards the empire.

At this moment, several leading mages from the Pamir Academy were looking at the two ninth-level mages who suddenly appeared in the square with ecstasy on their faces.

Although they were all high-level spellcasters, their situation was actually not much safer than that of the students in this relic that posed a huge threat to even the Ninth Order.

Moreover, they didn't even dare to show their nervousness and had to appear confident in order not to cause widespread panic among the students.

Now that they had finally waited for the ninth-level mage to arrive, they breathed a sigh of relief. A leading mage stepped out from the crowd and began to report the current situation of the students to the two of them.

"Your Excellency the two Dukes, the vast majority of Pamir students are currently gathered in this underground square. There are currently 4,106 students, accounting for about 94 percent of the total number of people entering the ruins.

Of the 262 students who have not yet returned, 117 have been confirmed dead, and the remaining 145 students are out of contact. The descendants of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and several adults have all been confirmed to be present..."

Without thinking about the mysterious man for the time being, Duke Carrot and the other two nodded as they listened to the report from the team leader, feeling a little heavy in their hearts.

In previous years' Pamir competitions, the death toll rarely exceeded double digits, but this year, so many people were lost at once. It is conceivable how furious His Majesty the Emperor would be when he heard the news.

"That's enough. The situation is critical now. All the Pamir students who have not yet arrived will be considered confirmed dead!"

Glancing at Fiona and Anvis in the crowd, the two ninth-level masters breathed a sigh of relief. Duke Carrot looked around, and his magical voice spread to the entire underground square.

"Everyone, please pay attention and don't resist. We will get you out of here safely."

As they spoke, the two ninth-level masters expanded their respective domains, covering many students.

Under the effect of magic, the bodies of the Pamir people in the cave gradually shrank, and were then taken into a special space ring used to accommodate living things by the two men.

However, before entering the ring, the clone that Anvis left here to conceal his whereabouts finally delivered a message to Duke Carrot.

"Father, there is a huge danger here. Please leave here as soon as possible!"

Of course, although it was a secret communication, in front of the ninth level of the Alfred family, the scene of Avis transmitting mental power messages was completely exposed.

"It's very dangerous here, and he hopes I can leave here as soon as possible."

After gathering everyone, Carrot briefly explained the content of Avis' message.

"Well, let's send her...them back first. This is the safest way. Otherwise, if a fight breaks out, it will be difficult for us to protect their safety."

After a brief discussion, the two finally decided to give up the search and instead send everyone from Pamir College out first.

However, even though the target has been determined, it is not an easy task to lead everyone out of the floating city safely.

Everyone in the academy was waiting for the rescue of the ninth-level strong man, thinking that as long as they waited for the rescue to arrive, everything would be fine.

But what they didn't know was that the two ninth-level masters were far less confident than they were.

Standing in their position, they have a more thorough understanding of the current situation, and are also very clear about what they will face if they leave now.

In order to prevent someone from touching the Eternal Core or the Core Tower Spirit first and then escaping using teleportation magic, the space within a radius of dozens of miles with the floating city as the center has long been imposed the highest level of blockade by the three parties.

Furthermore, all forces remaining in the hands of professionals who are observing the situation from the outside probably have some limit-breaking trump cards in reserve.

The number may not be large, but they will definitely exist, and their purpose is to deal with those ninth-level people who are preparing to leave.

No matter which side's ninth-level warriors leave the floating city first, they will be hit by thunder from the other two forces.

Duke Alfred is a veteran ninth-level warrior, while Duke Carrot is too young among the ninth-level warriors, and his strength can only barely touch the edge of a veteran ninth-level warrior.

They themselves were somewhat unsure whether they could successfully lead the students away.

After looking at each other, the two quickly left in the direction they came from.

On the other side, in the control room at the real world level, Avis watched the Duke and his companions leave, and at the same time controlled the distortion of the spatial corridors inside the floating city, causing a team of ninth-order members of the Holy See who were exploring in this direction to deviate from the route of the Duke and his companions.

It's very interesting that in reality, Avis can control the floating city in the dream layer, but he can't observe the huge unknown creature. Only when he enters the dream layer can he see it, and the reason is unknown.

At this moment, more than seven minutes have passed, and some ninth-level beings are already very close to the core energy room and central control room in the dream layer.

In the core energy room, Avis was not sure what these ninth-orders would encounter. But the central control room was one of the core nodes connecting the floating city to the dream space.

If they were allowed to get there, they would be able to easily escape from the dream world and enter the floating city area in the real world.

Time was running out. After making sure that the Duke and his companion would not encounter the ninth-order hostile force again, Anvis raised his scepter again and teleported himself outside the core energy room.

In order to delay time and for humanitarian considerations, at the dream world level, Avis was also trying his best to manipulate the movement of the space-time corridor, trying to allow more Level 9s to explore the direction of the core control room.

After all, if there were fewer people, they would most likely be killed instantly by the blood-red giant eye. Unable to bear seeing them die too quickly, Avis kindly helped them gather more strength so that they would not be powerless to fight back.

In the real world, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the core energy room.

After carefully sensing it and confirming that there was no danger, he used his authority to control the raising of the demon-averse metal gate that was several meters thick.

Roll, roll, roll——

From the tiny gap in the door that slowly opened, pure white light instantly shone through.

Behind the open gate, an incomparably pure and transparent core of dazzling white light was reflected in Avis's azure eyes.

The core is a perfect octahedron, about three meters long from top to bottom, and is steadily suspended in the center of the entire huge core energy room.

Countless constant gold magic circuits tens of centimeters wide are densely covered on the walls of the entire energy room, collecting the amazing magic power gushing out of the core and continuously transporting it to various parts of the city to maintain the operation of the floating city.

"How brilliant..."

Gazing at the dazzling core in front of him, Avis couldn't help but be intoxicated by its beauty.

This is the crystallization of the high elves' supreme magical attainments, which makes the entire city break away from the earth and touch the core of the miracle of heaven - [Eternal Core]

However, at the moment when he was about to take away the Core of Eternity, Avis suddenly stopped.
