Capítulo 570: Chapter 88: External Assistance

“The trial scenario is set in the world of Fiona’s Dreamland, so my identity has been determined to be the White Rabbit?”

Anvis nodded, feeling that he had sorted things out. After all, this was a story with a female protagonist; it was impossible for his identity to be arranged as Fiona.

Therefore, the first important supporting character to appear in the book, the White Rabbit, became his identity.

Now, should he approach Fiona, or should he actively alter the storyline and deliberately avoid her?

After some thought, Anvis suddenly realized something wasn’t right.

In this story, the White Rabbit doesn’t seem to actively seek out the girl, but rather is in a hurry to get to the rabbit hole.

Thinking this, Anvis quickly took out the pocket watch to check the time.

At that moment, there was only about ten minutes left on the pocket watch before it struck twelve o’clock.

Seeing this, Anvis suddenly had a feeling that if the time on the pocket watch reached twelve, something he didn’t want to see might happen.

At the same time, a direction appeared in his mind, seemingly the coordinates of the rabbit hole in the forest.

Having determined his target, Anvis immediately ran towards the direction of the rabbit hole.

But his actions seemed to have startled Fiona, who was napping under a tree.

Then, Anvis perceived a cold ice chain hurtling toward him.

He instinctively wanted to counter it but found that his Magic Power had fallen dormant, unable to use magic.

With no other choice, he forcefully leaped, surging forward in hopes of escaping the chain’s binding range.

However, what Anvis did not expect was that the chain seemed to have anticipated his move, accelerating fiercely and imprisoning him on the spot.

So, Anvis resignedly watched as a protective light flashed over his body, and he regained his ability to move.

He now understood that his first challenge was probably to escape from the hands of the girl.

The Dream World had prepared a special trial scenario for him based on his surface-level consciousness. And because his strength exceeded the current scenario’s limit, his magic casting ability was temporarily restricted.

He was urgently trying to find a crack in the rules that bound him, but it would take a bit of time.

….

The perspective shifts to Fiona, who, after being carried away by the dream conveyor, found herself alone under the Mangul Willow Tree by the riverbank.

She hasn’t noticed anything wrong, as this is part of the storyline in “Fiona’s Dreamland”.

The girl is just wondering, why has the story suddenly started over? And where are Kate and Feiya?

As she pondered, she saw the familiar White Rabbit in a suit running by in the distance.

But strangely this time, the White Rabbit seemed to be further away from her than before, and even the style of its suit was different.

However, watching it run further away, Fiona still reflexively threw a chain.

Originally, Fiona intended to use this as an opening move, and after the White Rabbit dodged, she would cast another spell depending on the situation.

“Has this rabbit become dumber?”

But what Fiona didn’t expect was that this time, the White Rabbit was ‘silly’ enough to be caught by her chains, which made her pause for a moment, and her lake-blue eyes blinked adorably.

But the next moment, she saw a flash of light on the rabbit, and her spell disappeared.

“So this time, I’ve become a magic rabbit!”

After all, this is just the dream world of a storybook, where anything can happen. The girl didn’t notice anything amiss; instead, her competitive spirit was ignited.

“Don’t run! ‘Dream Maze’, ‘Forest of Wooden Walls’, ‘Space Inversion’…”

Ahead, Anvis had nowhere to ascend to the heavens and no doors to the earth to escape the girl’s pursuit.

Although he was the author of the story, this was the first time he realized how difficult the role of this white rabbit in the story was.

He has only managed to cover half the distance, relying on the protection of the Dream Realm. The original story’s white rabbit could actually withstand such a storm of spells without a scratch, dashing into the rabbit hole.

It was truly terrifying.

Comforting himself amidst the hardship, Anvis tapped into all the potential of his rabbit body and desperately dodged the various binding spells from behind. He couldn’t just fall here without even getting through the first challenge.

But he was quickly faced with a serious problem – the number of protections from the Dream Realm was about to be exhausted!

Luckily, before the protections from the Dream Realm completely ran out, Anvis finally managed to unlock a bit of strength.

In the final moment, he suddenly used magic to accelerate himself, and also interfered with the operational node of the spells coming from behind, causing them to collapse into magical particles.

Only then, while evading the girl’s encirclement, did he manage to escape into the deep rabbit burrow between the giant banyan tree roots.

Once he was out of the girl’s line of sight, Anvis breathed a sigh of relief and took out his pocket watch to take a glance.

The time on the pocket watch was less than one minute away from twelve o’clock.

Fortunately, as soon as he entered the rabbit hole, the time on the pocket watch stopped and no longer moved forward.

Gazing at the dark and hazy space around him, Anvis’s pink rabbit eyes flickered with a faint light, allowing himself to slowly descend.

According to the hints of the Dream World, after he had just successfully escaped Fiona’s pursuit, he was granted a brief period of safety.

Is it a coincidence that in the story of “Fiona’s Dreamland,” after the white rabbit escaped the girl’s chase, it also wouldn’t reappear in the story until much later?

Anvis’s eyes sparkled, he had a feeling. This period of safety might very well last until before the story progresses.

So, what was his white rabbit doing during this time?

If it were just a simple story, Anvis could disregard this point because apart from around the protagonist, time everywhere else can be considered as standing still.

But now, this story has become a real Dream World that develops on its own, so the world outside the story, he fears, will experience many events that even he, the author, is unaware of.

And this world is very realistic. Just now when he was being chased by Fiona, he couldn’t even tell if Fiona was real or fake, and presumably, other characters in the story would have their own virtual lives.

After a moment of consideration, Anvis decided to gather some outside assistance during this period of safety.

Like a certain girl with a Nightmare Lantern he had invested in before.

It’s only because the environment is temporarily safe that Anvis dares to summon her consciousness; otherwise, such an act would be akin to plotting her murder.

Anvis had originally planned to leverage the girl’s Nightmare Lantern’s power, but the problem was that even with his funding, her strength had only just managed to break through to Third Rank.

The root cause of this problem is not Alina’s fault but that Anvis’s strength has increased too quickly, so quickly that almost all… the vast majority of people around him can’t keep up.

Originally, Anvis intended to wait for the girl’s strength to increase and then obtain the Nightmare Lantern through normal means before ultimately seeking the Dead Sea Lantern.

However, as his strength has improved, he now has a new understanding of the girl’s Nightmare Lantern inheritance, rather than just passively waiting for her strength to reach a sufficient level to summon its true form.
