Chapter 584 Defense and Offense

However, Avis' next words made them feel relieved again.

"Unknown evil is approaching. They are ancient dark entities. Our country is under serious threat!"

After issuing the warning in a serious tone, Anvis paused, ready to face any possible danger.

But after a moment, he realized that there was no unusual movement around him.

There was no obliterating force from the world's rules, nor was there any sneak attack from the lurking nightmare spirits.

The White Rabbit in the original plot naturally would not say these things, but this time because Fiona has replaced the identity of the Queen, the constraints of the original plot have been loosened.

Feeling relieved, Avis temporarily stopped preparing his backup plan and turned his attention to the many human and small animal guests present.

“I wonder if everyone here has noticed this as well?”

"…Indeed, Your Majesty, Lord Robette is right. There have indeed been signs of foreign invasion recently. As far as I know, they are beings of extremely evil nature and are our irreconcilable mortal enemies."

Looking at the rabbit, which was dressed in a formal dress and had a serious face as if it was looking at her, Lina felt a strange sense of absurdity in her heart.

After sorting out her emotions, she calmly expressed her views and supplemented Avis's words.

"Your Majesty, please help. We must prepare adequate defenses in advance and must not allow them to destroy our kingdom."

At the same time, several other guests played by trial participants also spoke up to support Fiona in defending against the nightmare spirit's attack.

"Okay, I got it!"

Seeing that everyone was expecting her to take action, Fiona nodded enthusiastically.

After thinking for a while about what to do, the little girl with long light blonde hair let go of the cat in her arms, tried to make a serious expression, and used her mental power to connect to the main body of "Fiona's Adventures in Wonderland" on her body.

Thus, the rules of the dream world began to operate according to the girl's thoughts. A huge silver-white sky curtain emerged from the sky, directly covering the entire fairy tale city.

As the embodiment of the power of the world's rules, the defensive power of the sky canopy is unquestionable. Under this layer of sky canopy, everyone felt warm and their strength was greatly enhanced.

"What a powerful force, praise Her Majesty!"

"We are safe!"

Looking at this spectacular scene, many small animals that had been a little panicked after hearing about the foreign invasion calmed down and began to praise the queen excitedly.

However, while the trial participants were praising him generously, they also felt wary in their hearts.

Judging from the power displayed by this layer of sky, if they were to go against the queen who controls the rules, they would probably not be able to last even one round.

Fortunately, they can now use this power to deal with the nightmare spirits.

At the same time, Lina and several other strongest and most experienced trial participants all turned their eyes to Avis.

Has this white rabbit sensed the coming of the nightmare spirits?

Indeed, compared to explorers like them, the nightmare spirits' influence on the dream world is much more serious.

They assist the Land of Inheritance in devouring the dream world, which is actually a method similar to fusion. The devoured dream world can still exist in its original form, but it becomes a part of the structure of the Land of Inheritance, just like putting together a new piece of a puzzle.

But nightmare spirits are different, they are the condensation of the dark side of the inheritance land. All the negative and evil forces that were once abandoned by the inheritance land are gathered in one corner, and the path of nightmare spirits is born from it.

For normal dreams, nightmare spirits are undoubtedly a source of pollution. Even if they do nothing, they will passively taint the dream world they live in with distortion and despair.

Sure enough, this white rabbit is a kind of guardian of this world.

Many thoughts flashed through Lina's mind in an instant, and she felt a little relieved.

Such a guardian was actually just an ordinary rabbit in her perception, which was enough to prove the gap in strength between her and it. If she had acted rashly before, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Your Majesty, this alone is not enough. We need to intensify the search and not let the foreign enemies stay in this world for long."

After looking at the canopy arranged by the girl, Avis still made a different suggestion.

Although she possesses the power of rules, the skills the girl uses are still limited by her own vision.

This shield reminded him of the great barrier in his family's secret realm. It seemed to have strong defensive capabilities, but in fact it was not necessary for the rule controller.

But Avis was not going to interfere with the girl's own choice. He would only provide her with some advice. The identity of the controller of the dream world was a good learning opportunity for her.

He planned to take the opportunity to train Fiona, because when she returned to the Yar continent in the future, the girl would sooner or later have to face external threats independently, and even serve as a leader to lead a force.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Well, it’s better to try and fail in dreams now than in reality.

The nightmare spirits came quickly, and when Avis's pocket watch reached the next twelve o'clock, distorted holes began to appear in the sky.

As if they were aware that their presence had been discovered, they began to circle outside the silver sky, neither attacking forcefully nor leaving.

But the aura from them began to gradually corrupt the world.

The lush forest was infected and turned into a withered woodland full of purple poisonous swamps. The dark death birds made creepy calls in the trees, and their scarlet eyes emitted ominous blood light, as if they were staring at the dying.

Under the protection of the silver sky, a group of small animals trembled as they looked at the strange ghost-like existences in the outside world.

The forms of nightmare spirits are varied, but their essence is the same. No matter what external form they take, they are all highly poisonous dream creatures.

"Did I die in their hands?"

Looking at the floating nightmare spirits from afar, Avis frowned slightly.

According to the key information he briefly glimpsed, the strongest nightmare spirit is currently in a dormant state, but it is suspected to have reached the true ninth level. Previously, Anvis died in his fate to save the girl, and it was at its hands that he died.

At present, Fiona, who controls the rules of the dream world, can still keep them out.

But as time goes by, the world will become more and more corrupt, and the Land of Heritage is also devouring and assimilating the world bit by bit. With every bit it devours, Fiona will have less authority to control.

As one gains strength while the other loses strength, the shield will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will be completely impossible to hold on.

However, since he has already seen his fate, he naturally will not let it repeat itself.

Slowly walking out of the barrier, Avis' rabbit eyes emitted a strange light as he looked at the nightmare spirits. A dark rose had appeared on his chest without him noticing.

I heard that the fastest way for nightmare spirits to level up is to devour their own kind?
