Chapter 552: Chapter 70 Escape
As for the impending collapse of the Core Secret Realm, Anvis had no intention to stop it. The Priest’s actions were an open conspiracy. If they were willing to engage the entire Core Secret Realm in a battle of attrition at all costs, Anvis’s side couldn’t ignore it either.
Moreover, from Anvis’s personal point of view, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
His primary goal now was to safely return his people to the Main World, and he had a way. The greatest enemy was the Priest outside, lying in wait.
To destroy this Core Secret Realm, the Priest must have paid a tremendous price. Under the principle of relative increase and decrease, the odds for his side would significantly rise.
Anvis had already made a rough estimation of the strength of the Songxing Secret Sect members who infiltrated the Radiant Secret Realm.
At first, he assumed the enemy had Ninth Rank or higher levels as their trump card, but he soon overturned this guess.
The enemy might be able to kill some careless Explorers through surprise attacks, but their true comprehensive strength should also be between the Eighth and Ninth Rank.
Otherwise, those strange masses they arranged to enter here would equally possess Ninth Rank strength, instead of the ambiguous level they currently showed.
For a moment, Anvis’s gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of obstructive space, seeing the Priest’s eyes on the tower altar, which were gloomy yet filled with fervor.
Thereafter, the youth with blue eyes revealed a slight smile.
Since you wish to completely destroy this Secret Realm, then I’ll lend you a hand, to make its final brilliance even more dazzling.
Being fully conscious and witnessing the collapse of a micro-world at zero distance was equally a precious experience for him.
At this moment, when the Secret Realm began to gradually disintegrate, the Last Dragon Descendant, who had been ecstatically grinding experience, also belatedly realized that something was amiss.
Let alone the abnormal celestial phenomena suddenly appearing in the sky, just the distant mountains and earth beginning to crumble into nothingness was enough to evoke in him an intense sense of foreboding.
“What’s happening?”
He instinctively looked around at the people nearby, but found that all the ‘NPCs’ were on high alert, compelling the Elf to finally ask.
“Attracting thunder to attack the enemy has consumed too much strength of this Secret Realm. The remaining Magic Power is insuffient to support its normal operations, and it has already begun to collapse,”
explained Prince Lanno, looking darkly toward the distant horizon, out of respect for the fact that the Elf was a companion of Anvis.
“Is there a way to leave this place? Like opening a teleportation portal or something?”
The Last Dragon Descendant exclaimed in shock, as he didn’t want to die here in such a baffling manner.
“The spatial parameters here are chaotic. Forcing a teleportation could easily result in falling into a temporal-spatial turbulent flow, which wouldn’t be much different than being swept away by the Secret Realm’s collapse,”
Orbins explained while toying with a silver cube resembling a Magic Cube in his hand, having come to this conclusion after a while.
“I have a way to leave this place, but without that Obelisk, my current ability can only take an additional three people back to the Radiant Secret Realm,”
he said, glancing at everyone’s expressions. Dark Crow instructed Landon to speak out in the Spirit Space and especially emphasized the term ‘Obelisk’.
As a product of the mixed remnants of wills from Helros, the Source of All Magic, and an ancient, extraplanar existence, he actually had a way to lead everyone away from this micro Secret Realm on the verge of collapse.
Still, he was not yet ready to give up, wanting to probe whether someone might have taken the Obelisk before him.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed somewhat.
Erica and Roche, who were with Landon earlier, let out a sigh of relief, while Prince Lanno and a few others were surprised and eager, immediately speaking up and ready to offer some price in exchange for a chance to escape.
Anvis and Orbins showed no particular change in expression, seemingly indifferent to the situation.
The two strangers from afar notwithstanding, since they could resurrect even after death, Yalanis hesitated for a moment, pondering whether to give the opportunity to her younger brother.
But in the end, no one mentioned anything about the obelisk.
Dark Raven frowned secretly at this outcome but had no choice but to assume that the object was hidden too well and that it would only reveal itself if the sanctuary was blown up.
“Do not worry, everyone, Landon can take some of you away in his own way, and I have a method to lead the others out of here.”
However, Anvis had no plans to let Dark Raven continue to shake the morale of this temporary team.
He took on the task of ensuring everyone’s safe escape and signaled to Orbins with a look. The latter nodded and placed a strange device, pitch black and mine-like, on the ground.
This device, created by Orbins under the guidance of the Space-Time Ring, is akin to a one-time use spatial bomb.
In the Main Material World, depending on the output of Magic Power, it can interfere with spatial conditions within a range of hundreds of kilometers instantaneously, achieving effects such as group teleportation, teleportation prevention, and spatial disarray.
In this collapsing micro Secret Realm, since the emulated spatial rules are nearly broken, it faces less suppression than it would in the Main World.
Following Anvis’s request, Orbins set its mode to directional constraint.
Normally, the spatial turbulence from the collapsing Secret Realm would explode outwards in all directions. But now, under the influence of the control device, this spatial turbulence will be gathered by Magic Power into a beam and then rush through the channel previously established by the Priest.
As for Anvis’s method of escaping with the others, Dark Raven was first stunned and then felt numb upon seeing it.
A safe house mainly constructed of Constant Gold, densely covered with patterns of Magic Arrays including time dilatation, spatial partitioning, and energy distortion of various high-level composite protective arrays.
Most crucially, the layer of Shield enveloping the safe house that bears the power of rules also seemed eerily familiar, as if seen before on the Floating City of the High Elves.
He could understand Anvis’s thinking; as long as one could withstand the collapsing power of the Secret Realm, the remnants left after the collapse would naturally be captured by the Radiant Secret Realm.
After all, it was only a micro Secret Realm that had already exhausted its energy; it was very likely this thing could withstand the collapse.
But… you, a Fourth Rank, just casually produced an alchemical item of Ninth Rank level? And it’s a safe house that usually seems pretty useless?!
You must know, only Ninth Rank materials can solidify the power of rules. And to set up a Ninth Rank protective array, consuming enough materials to create two or three Ninth Rank treasures, you used to make this thing?
Even Dark Raven was shocked. What kind of wealthy second-generation heir are you, that even a Prince from the Ancient Magic Empire couldn’t be so affluent?
“Come in quickly everyone, our time is limited. Don’t worry about its safety, I would not joke with my own life.”
Facing the curious or skeptical gazes from the crowd, Anvis simply smiled without a word.
His researchers stationed on overseas islands had recently made some breakthroughs in the defensive array technologies of the High Elves’ Sky City.
They successfully activated some of the complete defensive array modules that Anvis had brought back from the ruins of Sky City.
Indeed, merely activated, far from the comprehension of the magic knowledge within. But for Anvis, it was at least sufficient for the time being.
Time was running out. At Anvis’s signal, everyone entered the safe house one after another.
Landon left with Roche and Alisa first, but in the end, Yalanis chose not to leave with them and decided to go with Anvis instead.
