Chapter 728 The Second Attack
"What's going on?"
In Pamir College, Avis's expression suddenly changed.
Pomona's unhesitating attack caught him off guard, but it also allowed him to vaguely grasp some key points.
Encountered an attack by the Songxing Esoteric Cult... Seeked help from the Duke... Returned injured... The family's ninth-level ultimate guardian was out investigating... Temporarily took over the position of guarding Fiona...
"Wait...there's something wrong with Pomona?!!"
As this terrible possibility flashed through his mind, an indescribable chill spread through Avis' body.
Internal traitors are always harder to guard against than external enemies. If Pomona really rebels, it means that Fiona is in great danger.
However, Avis couldn't figure out why Pomona, as a ninth-rank, betrayed the family? Even in the previous life, when the Olivendi family was almost shattered and many vassal nobles and some family collateral members betrayed, there was no case of ninth-rank betrayal, and Pomona even died in battle for the family.
As for the benefits, for the Ninth Order, what benefits could be greater than the family's ongoing experiment to break through the legendary barrier?
Even though the Songxing Secret Sect also uses the benefits of breaking through the legend as an enticement, this alien cult has no credibility at all.
Avis felt that he was probably still missing some key information in this matter.
Although there are still many puzzles, no matter whether Pomona really betrayed or not, judging from his behavior of attacking Levin Boley, the city lord's adjutant, without hesitation, this dangerous factor must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Without further ado, Avis immediately left the academy through the teleportation array to create proof that he had left the academy suddenly.
At the same time, Anvis used a guiding crystal that he had previously placed in the City Lord's Mansion as the coordinates and urgently teleported a new clone over.
However, this time, he did not simulate the appearance of Adjutant Boli, but appeared completely in his original form. After all, Adjutant Boli should have been "dead" in Pomona's eyes.
Due to time constraints, the power of this clone is not very strong. It only serves to observe the scene and attract the enemy's attention.
As the transmission ended, Avis quickly rushed to where Fiona was.
As it was late at night, Fiona had already returned to the master bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion. She was curled up on the edge of the bed in soft bunny pajamas, playing arcane cards with the kitten Kate and the little dragon Fia.
“Meow! [Activate the Field Card [Skeleton Altar], sacrifice [Soul Feast], [Dragon Skeleton], [Plague Maker], and summon the Plague Bone Dragon Osanavis!]”
At this moment, the kitten stretched out its fluffy white paws and waved them forward powerfully.
On its field, a ferocious black and green plague bone dragon suddenly appeared on the bone altar and roared silently towards Fiona's field.
Since their own strength will improve synchronously with Fiona, when the girl's current strength breaks through the eighth level, the kitten Kate and the little dragon Fia also break through to the peak of the seventh level, and their intelligence is no less than that of human professionals.
Looking at the terrifying bone dragon opposite, Fiona suddenly revealed a sly smile of success.
"Activate the Mystic Card [Revolt] to increase the chance of a being on the enemy field changing to your side. Activate the Mystic Card [The Price of Death] to force [Revolt] to take effect on Undead beings."
So, with Kate's eyes of "this person bullying the little cat", the black and green bone dragon instantly came to Fiona's field. Kate, who had consumed too many resources to summon the plague bone dragon, was immediately in crisis.
Fortunately, there was the help of the elemental dragon Fia, so Kate was not killed instantly.
However, when the three were fighting fiercely, Avis suddenly appeared and temporarily stopped the game.
"Fourth brother? Why...are you here?"
Looking at Avis who suddenly appeared in his original appearance, Fiona was stunned for a moment and almost asked why he restored his appearance, but in the end she changed the question a little stiffly.
"Well... I was a little worried about your safety. I happened to have nothing to do in the academy, so I came over here to check on you."
He originally planned to tell her that Pomona might have rebelled, but the words were already on the tip of his tongue, and Anvis also temporarily changed what he wanted to say.
He had no direct evidence to prove that Pomona had rebelled, and once he opened his mouth, Pomona would most likely explode immediately.
Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Pomona, he would definitely use his mental power to cover Fiona's location at all times before taking any action.
Because of his identity as Fiona's guardian, even if another ninth-level extreme guardian of the family noticed his actions, he would not think there was anything wrong.
Although Avis was a little confused as to why the family guardian seemed to have no reaction even after Pomona had just used the power of rules to kill his clone.
"That……"
"Boom boom boom—"
"Buzz—"
Fiona was about to say something when the City Lord's Mansion suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a dark green flame rising into the sky. A huge explosion and the sound of the City Lord's Mansion's protective shield breaking sounded almost simultaneously.
"You guys again?!"
In midair, the figure of the angry family guardian emerged. The silver vertical pupil between his brows suddenly opened, and a thin beam of ice-blue light, as if locked, connected to a black shadow that seemed to have merged with the night sky.
"Again, hand over the Star."
Sensing that he was being targeted, the shadow simply stopped hiding and spoke calmly to the guardian.
“Delusion!”
With a cold snort, the guardian said no more and rushed towards the black shadow with a powerful invisible icy aura. The black shadow did not dodge, but raised the black stone scepter in his hand and took the blow head-on.
After all, his purpose of coming here this time was just to temporarily delay the guardian of the Olivendi family.
"Come with me. This place is no longer safe. We need to move to a safe place temporarily."
As the battle broke out in the sky, Pomona pushed open Fiona's door. After glancing at the two people in the room, he spoke with a serious expression, not expressing any surprise at Avis's presence.
"Eh? I see."
Fiona was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Although there has never been a precedent of moving positions during a battle, this time the enemy is probably very strong.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, where are you taking us to seek refuge?"
Although he was a little anxious, Avis still spoke calmly and tried to test the waters.
"Of course it is the safe place that the family has prepared for you. You will know when you arrive."
Pomona waved his hand perfunctorily and prepared to take the two people in front of him away.
But at this moment, Pomona and Fiona's expressions suddenly changed.
At the same time, from behind Pomona, a beam of blazing platinum light shot out from the void, suddenly submerging Pomona's figure.
At the critical moment, Avis finally let the leader of the Circle of Truth control the floating city in time, jump out of the deep dream world and block Pomona.
"I have long guessed that at the critical moment, you mice might not be able to bear it and run out to pick the fruit."
However, despite being hit by the sudden attack, Pomona sneered strangely.
The next moment, under the attack of the purifying light from the floating city, Pomona's body suddenly turned into ice crystals and dissipated. It was just an ice clone! At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, a thin ice-white transparent beam suddenly bombarded the bottom side of the floating city. The magic shield there instantly condensed into large pieces of frost, and then shattered into pieces.
At the tail end of this terrifying beam of light, Pomona's figure emerged intact from the void.
