Chapter 365: Accident
When Avis's mind took control of the floating city, many ninth-level warriors outside the city simultaneously discovered the anomaly.
They were just trying to disintegrate the city's shield structure through special high-frequency force field magic. But at a certain moment, the aura of this relic suddenly changed.
It was an illusory, yet extremely clear feeling, as if the entire city suddenly came alive.
"Wait, something seems to be wrong..."
Just as a ninth-rank cultivator opened his mouth, a low bell rang out suddenly from the depths of the city ruins.
Upon hearing this sudden buzzing sound of the strange bell, the ninth-level extreme warriors leading the three teams had different reactions.
[Holy Judge] Jorgson frowned. The sound of the bell reminded him of the bell of the Tower of Destiny.
[Crystal Door] Bayer tightened the scepter in his hand, somewhat worried about the many Pamir students trapped in the ruins.
[Mystery Seeker] Olvani's expression moved, and a hint of expectation suddenly rose in his eyes.
Under the confused and shocked gazes of the many ninth-rank experts from the three parties, the entire city trembled violently, and then its height suddenly began to rise slowly! As the surrounding seawater had been separated, everyone could clearly see that this huge city ruins with a diameter of tens of kilometers, with a twisted magic shield, was slowly floating up as if it was weightless.
The sand and silt deposited on the seabed slid down from the shield at the bottom of the ruins, leaving behind a huge pit with slightly irregular edges.
In the golden afterglow of the setting sun, the metal spires at the four corners of the city shine with dazzling golden light, and the graceful buildings with elegant texture give people a glimpse of a corner of the brilliant ancient golden age.
"That's... a floating city! A well-preserved floating city!"
Although they had guessed it beforehand, many ninth-order warriors still felt it was a bit unreal when they saw the huge ruins slowly floating up in front of them.
But in the next moment, a strong look of passion and greed rose in the eyes of most of the ninth-level people.
There is no need for further explanation, as everyone present knew exactly what a new floating city that could rise represented.
It is a treasure trove of cutting-edge magical knowledge from countless ancient high elves, as well as an irreplaceable miraculous creation that symbolizes the highest attainments in magic—[Core of Eternity]
At this moment, staring at the ruins city that was gradually rising into the sky, the three ninth-level leaders all had the same thought in their minds -
Even if we destroy it completely, we must not let it fall into the hands of other forces! . ….… In the floating city, Avis is adapting to this new state.
In this wonderful state of synchronization, Avis could clearly see himself and Claire standing in the control room, holding hands.
And the summer night firefly next to it, who really wants to reach out and touch it but doesn't dare to, with a timid expression on his face.
When he completely controlled the authority of the floating city and ordered it to rise again, the progress of the task [The End of Bomiya] on this guy's panel increased to 45%.
After giving her a slight punishment for her sudden attack, Anvis also told her his identity.
However, he did not tell the player girl the real situation, but told her that he was Avis' friend, and what happened just now was a show that he and Avis had colluded in advance and performed for the outside world.
Rona also ran out at this time, and looked around the control room of Sky City with some curiosity. But after noticing Avis, who was dressed strangely, she became a little wary. After the explanation from the player girl, she relaxed.
As Avis's perspective zoomed out, he could see the subtle expressions on the faces of everyone from Pamir College within his 'body'.
The confusion of not knowing what to do, the optimism of believing that the Empire will come to rescue, the worry about the future, the sadness of losing a close friend...
At this time, the descendants of the other three major families were talking to his clones left in the hall, hoping to learn specific information about the city, and Avis was using one of his thoughts to deal with them.
Fiona stood aside, holding the kitten in her arms and listening to her brother's story, her big lake blue eyes full of surprise and admiration.
However, in the current state of synchronization, Avis also discovered some unexpected things that he had not noticed before.
When his huge thoughts at this moment swept across a corner in the center of the floating city, a figure of unknown identity suddenly appeared there.
He was a green-haired nature elf wearing a robe and holding a staff. For some reason, the city's internal defense facilities did not attack him.
Judging from his current position, he was already very close to the core energy room of the floating city, but for unknown reasons he could not go any further.
The importance of the energy room is self-evident. The core energy room is protected behind the layered space-time turbulence protection belt. Except for those with high-level authority, no outside elves are allowed to approach.
As Avis's thoughts swept over him, a triangular magic amulet on his chest suddenly lit up with a rapidly flashing blood-red light.
When the light came on, the elf's face changed drastically. He suddenly crushed a stone engraved with silver high elven runes, and his figure disappeared into thin air.
When he appeared again, he was already in an ordinary room in another living area of the city.
Interestingly, his teleportation this time also relied on the authority of this floating city, but the authority level was much lower than that of Avis.
After discovering this, Avis had an idea and directly ordered Bomia to freeze his authority. At the same time, he mobilized the golem guards that were still intact in the city to capture the elf.
He was not sure which side this guy was on, but there was a very simple way to identify him - throw this guy out, and among the many Ninth-Levels waiting outside, there will definitely be someone who recognizes him.
When many golems went to capture him, the elf put up a small resistance. He seemed to be an eighth-level professional as well.
However, facing the numerous floating city defense golems that were powerful enough to fight against the ninth-level, his counterattack seemed quite weak.
After capturing this accident, there were no other special cases in the city.
Temporarily ordering the golem to imprison the elf in the city's prison, Avis looked at the many ninth-level creatures outside the city and did not launch an attack immediately.
After all, he was not the high elf legend who once controlled this city, and he was not even at the ninth level. Since he had not mastered the power of rules, he could not fully exert the strongest power of this city.
Besides, before he took control of this floating city, the city's condition was far from intact.
First, it broke directly in two during the fall. Although it seems to have been restored, there are still many areas that cannot be repaired.
Afterwards, due to the two limit-breaking attacks, the city's overall inscription structure suffered some damage. Relying solely on Bomiya's own emergency repair mechanism, it was not possible to fully restore it.
Moreover, among the three major forces, the Federation's limit-breaking attack has not yet appeared.
At this moment, many ninth-level warriors from the outside world have been reluctant to enter the floating city, simply because they are wary of each other and do not want to reveal their cards first.
If he launches an attack directly, under the attack of so many ninth-level masters regardless of the cost, this floating city may not be able to withstand the assault of so many ninth-level masters.
He needed to figure out a way, try some other approach.
