There is a different world inside the cave. As Avis moves forward, the rock walls gradually turn into magic metal structures, and various patrol guards, hidden spell traps and early warning arrays appear one after another.
However, for Avis, who has become a ninth-level prophet, all this seems to be in vain.
At the level of the web of fate, Avis directly obscured the line of fate that intersected between himself and this base.
Although he was just walking forward in a seemingly ordinary manner, all the guards and protective arrays showed no reaction to his arrival, as if they were in two worlds that did not interfere with each other.
This method of infiltration, as if entering an empty space, was not discovered until Avis was close to the real core area.
"Stop immediately! This is the top-secret base of the Imperial Marquis. Please leave immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the majesty of the empire!"
A shadow of a young man wearing aristocratic clothing embroidered with gold edges and blood-red eyes appeared in front of Avis and issued a warning in a serious tone.
"It's you? So that's how it is!"
Seeing this figure appear, Anvis suddenly showed a look of realization.
This figure is the magical clone of Marquis Winter, and his appearance here means that the real mastermind behind Fiona's disappearance is none other than these marquises who took advantage of the situation.
As representatives of the new noble camp, they took advantage of the fact that the Olivendi family's power was held back by the rebels and secretly kidnapped Fiona. This also explains why even the family guardians failed to defend Moonfall Castle.
At the same time, the gray fog seemed to be involved, completely distorting and obscuring the web of fate related to it, making it impossible for the Olivendi family to find out Fiona's whereabouts after her disappearance.
When Avis figured out the key, the projection in front of him finally solidified.
Using the projection as coordinates, Marquis Winter teleported his body over immediately.
Although they were very wary of the unknown ninth-level intruder, the things hidden in this base must not be exposed! "This is just one last warning. I have already notified the rest of the marquises in the empire. No matter who you are, if you don't leave, we will have to start a ninth-level war!"
Staring closely at Avis, a man with black hair and dark eyes and a very unfamiliar face, Marquis Winter felt extremely nervous.
He had already recognized that the unknown ninth-level person in front of him with black hair and black eyes had the same aura as the newly promoted ninth-level prophet who had caused the web of fate to tremble! Although in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Marquis Winter had already notified other marquises in the same camp when he teleported here. But facing a real ninth-level prophet in person, he was a little unsure.
Normally speaking, the prophet's body is their biggest weakness, but when he broke through to the ninth level, Marquis Winter did not dare to deal with Avis directly with the idea of dealing with ordinary prophets. He only hoped to make the other party understand that if he continued to explore, he would face more than one ninth-level prophet, so that he would retreat.
"Notify the rest of the marquises in the empire? You should already know my identity, right?"
Faced with the somewhat timid threats from Marquis Winter, Avis laughed instead.
"Then you should know that under the web of fate, a hasty siege without preparation will not be able to deal with a prophet."
"We don't have to become enemies, Man in the Mirror. Even if you are a ninth-rank prophet, our Glorious Alliance is not weak. A fight between two strong forces will only lead to a lose-lose situation."
Now that the words were spoken, Marquis Winter simply stopped hiding anything.
"We can cooperate. You found this place, so you must have predicted something.
I can promise you that as long as you sign a contract with us and do not disclose any information about this place to the outside world, then all the research results of this base since its establishment can be shared with you."
"Sharing all research results? Haha, what an attractive proposal."
Hearing the invitation from Marquis Winter, Anvis showed a strange smile. Just when Marquis Winter thought the matter had been settled, he heard words that made him furious.
"But, you know, I don't really care what you come up with."
"Are you determined to be our enemy, Man in the Mirror?"
Seeing that the negotiations failed, Marquis Winter's face also turned cold.
"Perhaps I can't stop you today, but you will definitely face the pursuit of multiple ninth-level warriors afterwards. The depth of the empire is beyond your imagination..."
"There is no need to try to delay, Lord Winter."
Avis waved his hand casually, and a magic mirror condensed at his side, reflecting several different ninth-level figures on the mirror.
However, at this moment, some of them had their eyes closed tightly, their breath was disordered, and their faces showed signs of struggle; some were inexplicably drawn into a different space and were facing tricky and terrifying existences.
"I'm afraid your reinforcements have encountered some 'small' accidents, and they will not be able to arrive until our affairs here are over."
Calmly gazing at the livid-faced Marquis Winter, a huge silver-moon-like mirror appeared behind Avis, and the power of the destiny domain unique to Avis blossomed in this world for the first time.
"Then let us also solve the problems between us—"
As Avis's domain opened, everything covered by the domain changed into completely opposite images, just like the reflection in a mirror. Countless broken mirrors floated in the domain, but each fragment seemed to contain a different world.
"You are so arrogant, you will regret it!"
With a low growl, Marquis Winter no longer suppressed his murderous intent. Scales surrounded by tiny dark blue lightning emerged from his body surface, and he also opened up his own ocean domain.
With the blood of the Blood-Eyed Mosasaur, Marquis Winter actually has a bloodthirstiness and bellicosity deep in his blood. He had previously been deliberately tolerant only because he wanted to avoid provoking the powerful enemy Avis.
But now that the negotiations broke down, he no longer suppressed himself, and his roaring domain of endless thunderstorms and ocean whirlpool power collided violently with Avis's illusory domain that was like a world in a mirror.
Taking into consideration that they were in an underground base, Marquis Winter's domain power was mainly focused on sealing and isolation, intending to drag the battlefield into the space rift.
As the battle continued, Marquis Winter became more and more frightened.
He originally thought that the [Man in the Mirror] had just broken through to the ninth level, so his strength must be unstable. As a veteran ninth level, he should have an advantage in this head-on collision.
But what he didn't expect was that the power of Avis's domain was no less powerful than his, and there were even signs that it was surrounding and eroding his domain.
A fierce light flashed in his scarlet eyes, and Marquis Winter simply gave up the consumption of this kind of domain collision, and instead shrunk his own domain, surrounding his body like armor for protection.
Then, relying on his physical fitness after the liberation of his bloodline, he forcefully rushed into Avis's mirror field.
As the ancient overlord of the deep sea, the Blood-Eyed Mosasaur's close-range combat ability is very amazing, and its innate ability "Swallowing Stars" is enough to distort and break the ninth-order rule field.
The power of blood was flowing, and the head of Marquis Winter suddenly twisted and expanded, turning into a huge Mosasaur mouth full of sharp teeth. The sharp teeth carried dark magic that was enough to distort the void, and suddenly bit down at Avis.
Facing the aggressive Marquis Winter, Anvis just calmly stared at the huge mouth biting towards him, and then as the huge mouth closed, it instantly turned into countless broken mirror fragments and flew away.
At the same time, a huge twisted wound appeared on Marquis Winter's body without any warning. The strange biting and devouring power was exactly the same as the innate ability attack that Marquis Winter had just launched.
In the mirror world, Avis looked at Marquis Winter who was injured by his own ninth-level ability, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Unlike ordinary ninth-level professionals, the core power of the ninth-level prophet comes from the web of destiny on the continent. In the previous domain collision, Anvis used the power of the web of destiny to directly suppress the resistance of Marquis Winter.
The ability he just used was the result of his understanding of the existence of the mirror world through the spell-like [Mirror World Travel] from the Old Secret Scriptures, and with the help of its characteristics, he formed his unique ninth-level ability: mirror reflection.
With the help of the miraculous power of the ninth-level prophet, Avis can reflect the enemy's attack back intact. (End of this chapter)
