Chapter 608: Farewell
"Are you still continuing your pointless persistence?"
Outside the cube, Marquis Winter held the dagger in his hand with a grim look in his eyes.
He was well aware of the saying that the longer the night, the more dreams one would have, especially when facing a being like Fiona who had a special status in the prophecy. The longer the delay, the greater the chance of changes.
Whether it is the Nightmare Spirit King who is currently missing or other unknown factors, they may lead to his failure.
Although the girl's resistance at the moment was nothing in his eyes, Marquis Winter did not take the next step immediately. A vague sense of crisis always lingered in his heart.
Marquis Winter was not sure where this sense of crisis came from, but it also made him more alert and suspected that he was being targeted by some powerful being.
Considering all this, Marquis Winter no longer hesitated. He turned the dagger in his hand over, held the hilt with his right hand, poured magic into it, and then swung it towards the entire cube.
The effect of this strange dagger varies depending on his posture.
The attack with the sword in the forehand is a cut against the power of rules.
As he moved, the already mottled blade suddenly cracked again with a twisted crack. And it was very deep, almost penetrating the center of the sword.
But at such a cost, this sword had a very amazing effect. The space around the cube suddenly darkened, and then instantly the cube in the center was "independent" from the entire dream world.
At the same time, Fiona and Avis, who were trapped in a transparent cube, suddenly lost all connection with the rules of the world.
Without the support of the power of the world's rules, Fiona was instantly beaten back to her original form, and the pocket watch in Avis's hand fell into silence, directly losing all its magical effects.
Without internal obstructions, the transparent cube covering the entire palace shrank rapidly and soon shrank into a small cube only the size of a palm.
To be honest, the price paid for this sword surprised Marquis Winter a little.
He originally thought that separating a little girl who was less than the ninth level from the rules of the world should not produce too much "reaction force". But now with this kind of reaction, he even suspected that he was dealing with the clone of a ninth-level strongman.
Marquis Winter took a look at the broken dagger in his hand with some heartache, took a step forward, and while being alert to possible enemies hiding around him, he quickly reached out to grab the shrinking block.
He was already prepared. Once he got the cube, he would leave here immediately without getting entangled with any possible enemies, and return directly to his secret laboratory in the demiplane of the main world.
There is a complete set of complex protective arrays, as well as luxurious arrangements for confusing and blocking prophecy magic. Marquis Winter is confident that even the Olivendi family will not be able to detect his secret base.
But at the moment when his hand grasped the cube, Marquis Winter's expression suddenly changed.
An extremely strong sense of crisis came from inside the imprisoned cube in his hand. He instinctively threw his hand and threw the cube out.
But before the cube completely left his hand, one of its sides instantly shattered, and a rusty yellow light shone out from the cube, directly enveloping him.
Under the reflection of this light curtain, the appearance of a young man under the hood of Marquis Winter suddenly began to change rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Part of the body aged rapidly, while the other part began to strangely become younger, and the existence of the entire dream body began to become translucent and unstable.
Even if he used all his strength to mobilize the power of rules to resist, the effect was so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.
"The power of time? It's...disgusting!"
There was a hint of cruelty in his scarlet eyes. At the critical moment, Marquis Winter decisively swung his sword again.
“Crack—”
As the sword was struck, the sword body let out a wail as if it could not bear the weight, and then completely shattered and broke into two pieces.
But the result of this sword was also very surprising. As the blade passed by, the brass-colored distorted light curtain strangely separated to both sides for a moment, just like Moses parting the sea.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Marquis Winter flashed and instantly escaped from the range covered by the brass light.
In the reappearing palace, Anvis looked at the escaped Marquis Winter and the half-broken dagger in his hand, and sighed.
He held a peculiar dragon-shaped brass badge in his hand, and the rusty-yellow light curtain that had forced Marquis Winter to sacrifice his knife to save his life was now continuously pouring out from the badge.
Avis is trying hard to control the range of the badge's power radiation to prevent the time turbulence contained in it from affecting himself and Fiona.
But his left hand, which was holding the badge, had turned into a strange rusty yellow color. He was now only relying on the power of the pocket watch in his other hand to barely suppress it and prevent it from spreading upwards.
Relying on that terrifying dagger, Marquis Winter managed to escape his fatal attack.
But fortunately, he achieved his goal of weakening the opponent. At least the dagger was destroyed by the attack...
"Huh... So that's how it is. A broken, disposable rare item. Is this your trump card?"
Looking at the white rabbit holding the badge beside the girl from afar, Marquis Winter breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was tricked, he finally discovered the source of his sense of crisis. There was no other terrifying existence. The root of everything was the badge in the hand of the inconspicuous white rabbit in front of him.
A rare item of beyond-limit level, it's really a big deal.
"It's a pity that no matter how powerful a magic item is, it is ultimately limited by the user's own strength!"
Commenting with interest, Marquis Winter looked into the girl's eyes, trying to find despair over the failure of her plan, but he only saw confusion and surprise, and instead saw a sense of 'frustration' in the white rabbit's eyes.
This situation felt a little abnormal to Marquis Winter, and it also sounded a wake-up call for him.
His target is not the weak, but the existence that can threaten or even kill him! After taking a deep look at the white rabbit who was still trying to control the badge in his hand, and in the slightly surprised eyes of Anvis, Marquis Winter raised the broken sword in his hand again, and then swung it towards Fiona.
Just because a sword is broken doesn't mean it can't be used.
As Marquis Winter moved, a strange gray line extended from the slash.
Looking at the gray line, a creepy sense of crisis surged in Avis' heart.
Can’t be hit, absolutely can’t be hit! The girl’s scream seemed to come from the side, but it seemed to be separated by an extremely long distance.
The movement of the world slowed down in Avis's perception. He watched the broken sword slowly and unstoppably fall, while trying his best to turn the badge in his hand to the direction of the attack.
The line was not moving fast, but it was extremely determined to penetrate the brass badge that released the chaotic time turbulence, and penetrate the rules protection that Fiona had urgently arranged. Finally, under the girl's desperate gaze, it pierced through the white rabbit that was desperately blocking her.
At this moment, the dagger in Marquis Winter's hand suddenly exploded into pieces.
Just like the little animals before, Avis fell to the ground helplessly, and the badge in his hand was completely shattered into a ball of rusty yellow light due to its structural destruction.
Under the somewhat surprised gaze of Marquis Winter, a translucent figure suddenly appeared above the fallen body of the white rabbit.
He was a young man with light golden hair and deep blue eyes, wearing a moon-white suit. His handsome face carried a strange temperament.
"Anvis Olivendi?"
Instantly finding the identity of the figure in his memory, Marquis Winter spoke in surprise.
"elder brother……?"
At the same time, seeing the changes in the White Rabbit, Fiona was stunned as if struck by lightning.
She could sense a feeling of warmth and familiarity from the figure in front of her, just as she had once snuggled up to that figure.
“…”
Anvis did not respond to Marquis Winter. He just opened his mouth, then smiled a little sadly and stretched out his hand towards the girl. It seemed that he wanted to touch her head one last time after realizing that he could no longer speak.
But in the process, his figure gradually faded away along with the body of the white rabbit on the ground, turning into scattered light golden spots.
With the breeze, the last point of light gently floated to the girl's cheek, as if saying goodbye.
