Chapter 732: The Influence of Gray Fog and Escape

Chapter 732: The Influence of Gray Fog and Escape

"Thank you for your kindness, Excellency, but it's not necessary. We still have to help other people in need."

In response to the Knight Commander's sincere invitation, the few of them looked at each other, and then Landon shook his head and politely declined his proposal.

Because Avis and Fiona were wearing masks that could conceal their breath, Landon and others did not notice the two people in the team for a while.

"...On behalf of the Imperial Rose Knights, I would like to pay my highest respects to your spirit of honor for helping others without fear of life and death."

After hearing what they said, many knights looked at them with awe. The knight commander who had spoken to them earlier raised his visor, touched his breastplate with his right fist, and saluted them solemnly.

Many times, even real knights cannot abide by the virtues of knights, such as not fearing violence and helping the weak. But these civilian professionals can bravely stand up in times of crisis and help other weak people out of suffering.

However, Avis, who was secretly observing Landon and the others, gradually frowned.

He was also a little surprised at first about the words and actions of Landon and others. When did the Spark Rebellion become a humanitarian organization?

But as he observed several people, Avis slowly discovered something was wrong.

If he looked closely from a fate perspective, he could see that the fate lines of these Starfire Resistance members seemed to be covered by a layer of hazy gray fate fog, much like the work of his old friend 'Gray Fog'.

In the case of Landon, Roche, and Alyssa, this influence was very weak due to the interference of the power of fate. Matt was also slightly affected because he had planted the seed of distortion in him.

However, the impact on the several ordinary rebels who followed them was much more obvious.

This change should have occurred recently, because when he contacted Matt and another former high-ranking member of the Embers organization before, he did not find anything abnormal about them.

Avis didn't think that the other eighth-level prophets would not be able to detect the problem. After all, the Spark Organization was too large, and several other eighth-level prophets were also more or less involved in it. It was impossible to conceal such a change.

In other words, Gray Mist is no longer afraid of his actions being exposed? Although there are many questions, the enemy is no longer prepared to give Avis time to study them carefully.

Including the one who had escaped after being severely injured, a total of three dark shadowy 'Faceless Men' reappeared and attacked everyone without saying a word.

The dark force fields merged together, surging and spreading like a tide, sweeping over everyone.

At the same time, a large number of dark green magic spheres that were contaminated by terrifying divine power appeared and disappeared from the dark force field.

The lethality of any one of them is enough to seriously pollute the spirit of a seventh-level professional.

"defense!"

As the Knight Commander shouted at the top of his lungs, many knights changed their formations urgently and activated their legion defense skills at the critical moment. A huge white light shield enveloped everyone, barely blocking the darkness that was sweeping over.

But this did not last long. As the polluted magic ball hidden in the darkness hit the battle spirit barrier, the light shield quickly began to flicker. The faces of many knights began to turn pale, and it was obvious that they could not hold on any longer.

After all, they were only level six. Being able to hold out against an attack from the eighth level for a while under the leadership of a level seven knight commander was already an extremely remarkable achievement.

"We can't go on like this! I will use my magic weapon to break through the enemy's blockade and block everyone's perception for 30 seconds. Then we will scatter and flee! Run as far as you can."

At this moment, Avis's spiritual voice sounded in the hearts of everyone present.

To deal with this kind of enemy, relying on the knights is not enough.

"Prepare to burn the seeds of life, and immediately disperse and escape after breaking through the enemy's blockade!"

Hearing his words, the Knight Commander, who also knew that it was a life-and-death moment, gritted his teeth and resolutely gave the order to burn the seed of life.

This will cause great damage to their vitality for a long time. If the burning of the seeds of life lasts too long, it may even permanently damage their foundation.

But compared with one's own life, these costs are nothing.

"At times like this, I really envy those foreigners. No matter how badly they are injured, they can recover."

At the last moment, this thought suddenly flashed through the Knight Commander's mind for no reason.

The next moment, an ice-blue ring on Anvis's little finger suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

A vivid 'Crystal Bird of the Cold Wind', whose entire body was made of clear light blue ice crystals, flew out from the gem of the ring, and then its body quickly expanded in the air, and its spread wings gradually covered everyone in the team.

"Cry——"

With a trace of the power of the ice rule, the crystal clear ice bird screamed, suddenly penetrated the shield, and crashed into the dark "tide" outside.

The next moment, a terrifying ice and snow storm erupted from the darkness. The extremely condensed ultra-low temperature force field instantly tore through the darkness, dyeing everything within a thousand-meter radius with silver-white frost.

The three faceless men also had to temporarily avoid the attack. This attack had already had a hint of the power of the ninth level.

In this frosty cold, everyone's body surface was also covered with a thin layer of silver frost, but they did not feel cold. Instead, their own breath was completely solidified and locked, and even the light shining on their body surface was distorted.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After launching this horrific attack, the precious magic gem on Avis's ring was directly shattered, and the entire ring was completely scrapped.

Those were the materials that Avis had prepared himself and he specifically asked the Duke to help him make them in case of similar situations that might arise.

"charge!"

Taking this opportunity, the Knight Commander immediately issued an order.

As a result, many knights instantly burned their life seeds and then broke out in all directions. Avis, Fiona and others fled out of the city under the protection of the Knight Captain.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the direction the rebels fled in almost coincided with the direction they left the city.

Since everyone looked similar at the moment, the three Faceless Men were unable to distinguish their specific identities for a moment, and could only quickly disperse and chase, trying their luck to intercept them.

As time passed and the ice crystal effect disappeared, a faceless man reappeared in the direction where Avis and others fled.

The Knight Commander tried to stay and entangle it to buy time for Fiona and the others to escape, but he was beaten half to death within two or three moves.

At the critical moment, Avis pretended to activate another disposable magic ring as a deterrent, temporarily forcing the Faceless Man back, snatching him back and continuing to run away.

At this time, they met Landon Roche and others again.

Considering that there were seriously injured people among Avis and his group, after "cooperating" with Avis to repel the pursuing Faceless Men, Landon Roche and others had a secret discussion, and finally brought Avis and his group to a secret base of the [Spark] organization.

"We're here. We're safe here for now."

After activating the stronghold's protection and concealment array, Landon finally breathed a sigh of relief.
