Chapter 594: Chapter 112: The Pursuit
The thrill of the city being breached doesn’t seem to be enough to trigger a Burst Seed. Could it be that a sacrifice from is truly necessary?
Anvis closely monitored Fiona’s condition, feeling puzzled.
No, if Fiona could Burst Seed, it ans the conditions for Burst Seed have been t from the start; it just requires more stimulation.
While Anvis was observing the situation, the King of Nightmare Spirits had already floated to the top of the Royal Palace Shield.
“Unfortunately, this is where it all ends.”
Like a muted thunder, a voice echoed from the dark sky. Watching the fragile new shield below, the King of Nightmare Spirits made no excessive movents, only descending like a massive mountain.
Yet such a simple attack brought a crushing force of despair.
There were no fancy collisions of Rule Power, just a pure contest of harnessing Rule Power.
If it were to land completely, everything in the palace, except Fiona, would be obliterated.
The mont the two forces collided, Fiona’s face turned pale, and the faint silver Protective Shield enveloping the palace shattered instantly like an eggshell.
Is this how it ends?
Anvis, with calm eyes, watched the pink rabbit eyes observing the King of Nightmare Spirits rapidly falling from the sky.
The White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch appeared in his hand, and the next instant, the watch’s hand suddenly began to spin backwards rapidly.
Following his actions, the ti of Fiona’s Dreamland world swiftly began to reverse.
The capability of the pocket watch was not limited to being activated by him to make small-scale alterations in dream ti. Before Anvis’s arrival, even an ordinary white rabbit was able to rewind the tiline of the entire world.
When certain special conditions, such as ‘the Dream Controller being threatened’, are t, the pocket watch would activate on its own to reset the tiline of the entire world to a certain point in the past, similar to reloading a saved ga in single-player gas.
This is one of the fundantal cornerstone rules of this world. The pocket watch is rely the physical manifestation that reboots the rule.
Anvis had only recently deduced this ability, which was originally one of the safeguards he left when he created “Fiona’s Dreamland” to ensure the girl’s safety, but it was twisted into its current form by the inverse invasion of the Dream World.
The only ones unaffected by the tiline reversal were Anvis, as the holder of the pocket watch, and Fiona, as the Dream Controller.
Although the King of Nightmare Spirits, being an outsider of Ninth Rank, couldn’t prevent the ti reversal, it could resist it to so extent through the power of rules.
“!?”
Under the girl’s watchful eyes, the world showed a miraculous scene akin to ti flowing backward.
The darkness retreated in the direction it ca from; the vast dark labyrinth rose into the air strugglingly and then carried away the vast amounts of dark nightmare fog that perated the city.
The small animal residents who had been corroded also restored back to normal and swiftly ran back in the direction they ca from.
Eventually, the world’s ti was set back to the mont when Marquis Winter was defeated and left.
Since the main body of the opponent was not in this world, and given that the opponent’s power reached the Ninth Rank, even the power of the reversal rule was insufficient.
With a familiar ripple of light spreading, the broken body of the King of Nightmare Spirits appeared before everyone, returning everything to the state before the city was broken.
However, slightly different this ti, the body of the King of Nightmare Spirits was even more broken than the first ti.
Since the body of the King of Nightmare Spirits was remotely controlled by Marquis Beixi, when the reversal occurred, there was a discrepancy between the timing of Marquis Beixi’s spirit and body in the outside world.
To combat the tearing effects caused by the disarray in the ti axis, Marquis Beixi had to expend a significant amount of Rule Power again to protect himself.
“Mr. White Rabbit, was the change just now your doing?”
Realizing that the city and the animals had returned to normal and sensing the world rules becoming clear again, Fiona got excited.
“Please calm down, Your Majesty the Queen, this is ultimately your world! You are also our only hope to save us from evil!”
Looking at the surprised girl watching him, Anvis flicked his ears and slowly spoke.
Although the ti reversal has restored the world rules to their previously strong state, the function of ti reversal has now entered cooldown and cannot be used anymore.
“Heh, what a nice trick. I’m curious to see how much longer you can struggle!”
Outside the city, Marquis Beixi laughed furiously in counteraction.
The ti reversal ability shown by the opponents is indeed very bug-like, but it only delays the inevitable for a bit longer.
Every skill must adhere to the basic rules, the more astonishing the effect of the skill, the greater its limitations are.
And such a world-covering ti reversal certainly cannot be used multiple tis in a short period.
Without saying more, Marquis Beixi directly controlled the body of the King of Nightmare Spirits and violently collided with the restored Protection Barrier.
The situation seems to have returned to the previous state, where the King of Nightmare Spirits and Fiona’s strength were in a stalemate, just waiting for the Four Nightmares to break the balance.
Just as Marquis Beixi had foreseen, the Four Nightmares made their tily entrance. However, what he didn’t expect was that this ti, the targets of the Four Nightmares’ attack were completely different than before the reversal.
In an instant, including Madness of Desius, the original four Nightmare Spirits that were poised to attack the city shield all suddenly changed their target, directly aiming at Marquis Beixi, who was locked in a stalemate with Fiona.
“You?! How dare you!!”
Because of his established way of thinking, Marquis Beixi absolutely did not expect that the Four Nightmares—originally aiding him in breaking the city shield—would turn against him to attack.
In the Dream World, the Four Nightmares can mobilize the Rule Power of Inheritance Land for their attacks. Caught off guard, even though he urgently disengaged from Fiona to focus on defense, he still suffered significant injuries.
In this mont, the tide of the battle finally turned completely.
After enduring a series of fierce battles, and now backstabbed by the Four Nightmares, the power of the King of Nightmare Spirits had been weakened to an unprecedented extent.
The combined strength of Fiona and the three Four Nightmares now had the upper hand.
“Good, you guys, very good!”
If Marquis Beixi doesn’t realize he has been tricked by now, then he isn’t of the Ninth Rank.
Although unclear on who exactly was targeting him, sensing that the situation was amiss, Marquis Beixi decisively opened a spatial passage and directly escaped from this world.
He had his confidence, conceding this ti as a loss, but once his injuries are healed, no one in this world would be able to stop him.
Regarding whether he might be pursued, Marquis Beixi also wasn’t worried. If the Four Nightmares really dare to follow, he would give them a lesson they would never forget.
While cursing in his mind, Marquis Beixi controlled the battered body of the King of Nightmare Spirits and returned to his own minor Nightmare World.
But before he could start repairing, he suddenly sensed that sothing had invaded this world. Judging from several familiar auras, it seed all Four Nightmares were present.
They really dared to chase him into this world?
With a cold laugh in his heart, Marquis Beixi made no extra moves, rely waiting for them in the center of the world.
The mutual devouring amongst Nightmare Spirits also has a healing effect. If he kills the Four Nightmares here, then his injuries could be quickly healed.
And this small world is completely under his control; just by his thought, the connection between the Four Nightmares and the Inheritance Land could be temporarily cut off. At that ti, without the protection of Rule Power, they would be like fish on the chopping block.
Soon, the silhouettes of the Four Nightmares appeared within his line of sight. However, what made him feel strange was that besides the Four Nightmares, there seed to be another Nightmare Spirit with an unknown aura present.
Moreover, apart from Madness of Desius, the other four Nightmare Spirits were all clad in strange black cloaks.
“Before I make my move, do you have any last words?”
Staring at the four Nightmare Spirits as if they were dead, Marquis Beixi had already begun contemplating which one to devour first.
But hearing his words, three of the Four Nightmares exchanged a weird glance and did not respond. Instead, the Nightmare Spirit with an unknown identity stepped forward and spoke words that drastically changed his expression.
“Marquis Beixi, the Truth Circle sends its regards!”
