After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 739 Battle Result
After everything was settled, Avis controlled the floating city to slowly escape from the other end of the dream turbulence and move away from the battlefield area.
At the last moment of the battle, [Golden Wings] finally relied on an outburst of unknown power to break free from the entanglement of the Sea of Dark Tentacles and escape successfully.
Avis was not surprised by this result. After all, as a ninth-rank direct descendant of one of the four major families in the empire, he would always have some life-saving cards.
When he set up these ambushes, his original goal was not to actually capture as many ninth-level warriors as possible, but to scare the enemies away and save as many as possible.
If this world where ancient beings sleep is not enough, he will later lead the enemy to another dangerous place.
If the danger is discovered by the enemy, then move on to the next place.
There may not be much else in the deep dream world, but it is full of dangers.
Moreover, among those Nine-Orders that were chasing the floating city, except for the monsters of Pomona and the Song Star Cult who might have been prepared, the other Nine-Orders were acting completely hastily.
Although they discovered the traces of the floating city at the first time, their original goal was not to destroy the Ring of Truth and seize the floating city, but to monitor Fiona's movements.
The sudden appearance of the [Ring of Truth] was a complete surprise to them, but Avis was well prepared.
As an eighth-level prophet, it was not a surprising thing that he managed to force back several ninth-level prophet who were chasing him without intending to do so.
The ninth-level cultivator who had been hiding in the wreckage of the floating city did not continue to chase after him after successfully avoiding the perception of the unknown ancient existence through the secret technique of concealment. He seemed to be afraid of the floating city.
At this point, all the enemies chasing from behind were dealt with by Avis.
After resolving the crisis of being hunted, Avis now needs to deal with the two ninth-level warriors who were trapped in the floating city.
After sending away two ninth-ranks by dividing the floating city into sections, there are only Marquis Draka and another unknown ninth-rank left in the floating city.
They were the two ninth-level warriors with the weakest overall strength who broke into the floating city. According to Bomiya's analysis, trapping them would put the least pressure on the floating city.
However, since the main structure of the floating city had become somewhat unstable after being wreaked havoc by the four ninth-level warriors, it still seemed a bit insufficient to trap two ninth-level warriors at the same time in this state.
After realizing that the situation was hopeless, Avis evaluated the worth of the two and finally chose to throw out the ninth-level person whose identity was hidden, leaving only Marquis Draka.
Although the strength of the two ninth-level warriors is similar, the identity of Marquis Draka is more valuable.
A single opponent below the ninth level poses no threat to the floating city.
Under the threat of the floating city's ultimate weapon, [Lightless Moon], the ninth-level warrior who was thrown out by Avis ran away without hesitation.
Inside the floating city, Marquis Draka, who was left alone, suffered a great misfortune.
As a fortress that was once controlled by a legendary high-level elf, even though the floating city controlled by Anvis was not complete and the main structure was damaged, it was still enough to completely suppress a single ninth-level warrior inside.
After eliminating the interference from other ninth-order creatures, Anvis asked Bomya to slowly eliminate the various marks left by the ninth-order creatures on the surface of the floating city, while activating multiple weakening and magic silencing arrays inside the floating city to further weaken Marquis Draka.
Anvis had deeper considerations for leaving Marquis Draka alone.
First of all, as a marquis of the empire, Draka is almost destined to stand on the opposite side of him in the future, so it is better to take the opportunity to get rid of him in advance.
Secondly, Avis also wanted to try whether a true ninth-level professional could be controlled by the Seed of Distortion.
Although Bishop Yanile was also at the ninth level, he was controlled by Anvis when he was at the eighth level. If it were not for the accident of the [Saint's Ceremony], he would not have been able to break through to the ninth level within a hundred years.
And after Yaniler broke through the ninth level, the Seed of Distortion's control over him also showed some abnormalities.
Although he will still obey Avis's orders and create ninth-order disposable magic items for Avis, he will not continue to obey all instructions indiscriminately. When Avis's orders are in fundamental conflict with his belief in the Holy Light, he can choose to refuse.
If Yanil before the breakthrough was compared to a fanatic, then after the breakthrough, he changed from a fanatic to a rational believer, and he believed in more than one god.
This might be a peculiarity of the ninth-order priests, but Avis had no other samples before, so he couldn't be sure.
This time, he planned to try the effect of the Seed of Distortion on an ordinary ninth-level being.
The difficulty facing him now is that the Seed of Distortion cannot be effective against a target that is much stronger than himself.
The gap between the ninth level and the eighth level is too big. Anvis must first weaken Marquis Draka to a sufficiently weak level, while also preventing him from choosing to self-destruct in despair.
After analyzing the condition of Marquis Draka through Bomya, Anvis finally chose the slowest but most successful method.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Through the composite inscription array, the mind of Marquis Draka was forcibly trapped in a time-like illusion, and a rule-interfering environment was created. While isolating him from the rules of the outside world, his perception was confused, causing him to misjudge his own state.
At the same time, since Draka's life is not threatened, the life-sensing artifact he left in the outside world will not self-destruct, thus attracting the attention of others.
This method was safe and reliable, the only problem being that it consumed an astronomical amount of magic power to maintain these magic arrays for every second. Even the large elemental pool in the Mage Tower was not enough to keep all the magic arrays running at full power for ten minutes.
Only a floating city with an endless source of magic power can truly use this method to trap a ninth-level for a long time. . ….….In Silver Gull City, in the secret base of the [Spark] organization, Avis came out of the 'deep meditation state' and woke up again.
Although this battle seemed to have caused him considerable losses and the floating city was severely damaged, taking the opportunity to eliminate the two priests of the Song Star Cult and capturing Marquis Draka was enough to make up for all the losses.
It will take some time until Marquis Draka is weakened enough.
During this period of time, the clone in the floating city only needs to keep monitoring Marquis Draka, which will not take up much of his energy, so he can now deal with other things.
For example, investigating the reasons why Gray Mist had been so fearless in causing trouble before.
However, when Avis just contacted other clones, he noticed the unusual change in the situation.
The prophet 'Hermit', who he had previously accepted in the Federation and was currently working under his 'Man in the Mirror' clone, took the initiative to find his clone and passed him a message.
'The situation has changed, the gray fog is about to break through, do you want to join?'
