Chapter 390: Chapter 165: Demolishing the House and Running Away

Compared to Space Rings, Space Expansion Boxes have many disadvantages, such as not being portable enough, prone to structural damage, and poor concealment.

Because they are themselves Space Items, Space Expansion Boxes cannot be stored inside Space Rings or special Subspace like personal space.

However, it also has a significant advantage; since the base material is sufficiently large, the capacity of the Space Expansion Box can be much larger than that of Space Rings.

For instance, right now, the Expansion Box Anvis prepared looks similar to a wheeled suitcase, and its internal space reaches hundreds of cubic meters.

Actually, it was initially prepared for transporting items from the Secret Vault of the Ancient Magic Empire, but now it can be used in advance here.

As a highly confidential secret base where teleportation requires a dedicated teleportation room, although the resource value in this Vault is not as much as the storerooms in Moon Castle, the difference is not significant.

Unlike the grey display cabinets that store rare high-value resources, those white display cabinets use extension magic for storage, classifying relatively lower value but large quantity of ordinary high-rank resources.

Why is there such a delightful thrill in rummaging through someone else’s territory?

Thinking happily, Anvis adeptly opens the display cabinet in front of him, takes out items to stuff into the storage box, and simultaneously leaves an identical substitute in its place with the True Phantom.

In just seventeen minutes, Anvis nearly swept through all the grey and white display cabinets in the entire Vault.

The haul of high-rank demonized materials, Demon Crystals, Mysterious Objects, Magic Weapons, and ornaments was innumerable; most of the space in the wheeled suitcase was filled, leaving only the last few cubic meters empty.

Moreover, as this place is a secret research base, some of the new Secret Magic Tools displayed here also represent valuable magical concepts for Anvis to reference and study.

After relocating all the ordinary display cabinets, with the attitude of a Player searching for hidden treasure chests, Anvis checked inside the Vault once more, investigating every suspicious corner in detail.

Unfortunately, it seems the builders of this place did not entertain the idea of hiding another Vault within the Vault.

Making a round, Anvis returned to the area with the dark gold display cabinets.

Meanwhile, the Ritual Array for the Grey Mist was nearing completion, and the massive embryonic form of the Array surrounded Anvis’ disembodied self. Invisible Destiny Power started to subtly stir, giving him an instinctual unease.

Without hesitation, Anvis took out the Dream Realm Mysterious Object he had prepared earlier from the Ancient Secret Scripture, and activated it right inside the Vault.

As the space started to fluctuate, the fact that the Vault was invaded by an external enemy could no longer be concealed, and a sharp Magic Beam alarm resonated throughout the underground base.

At the same time, in the laboratory, Grey Mist suddenly felt a premonition, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.

It seems that some dangerous and unexpected situations targeting him were about to occur!

Although both are high-rank Prophets, each other’s actions carry a Fate-blurring effect, but when Anvis’ actions sincerely threatened Grey Mist’s Life, his own blurring aura failed.

Listening to the alarm of the Vault’s invasion, Grey Mist immediately understood that there must still be some object used for location that he had not discovered.

Now, sensing the alarm and crisis prophecy almost simultaneously, he disregarded the Array he was constructing, unhesitatingly grabbed ‘Fiona’ in the Array, flashed, and quickly teleported to escape.

This was one of his privileges as the Supreme Controller of the secret base; he was the only one who could teleport freely within the entire base.

At the same time, he had also prepared in advance for the possibility of enemies tracing their way to this location, and how he could escape if that happened.

In the central area of the base, a one-time long-range random Teleportation Array had already been set up.

The spatial state of this base was in a special disorganized state, which could not be completely sealed off in a short time. In case of any problems, he only needed to immediately teleport away with the target.

The enemies pursuing him would avoid using high-powered indiscriminate attacks, fearing to hurt their own side. This way, he had a great chance of escaping safely.

But the moment his figure appeared within the Array, the Grey Mist’s movements stiffened instantly.

An invisible sense of life-and-death, like cold steel needles, fiercely stimulated his nerves, making him release Fiona as if he had been electrocuted, his body ready to teleport away instantly.

But it was already too late!

“Zzz—”

Accompanied by a slight sound of matter being annihilated, a pure black Annihilation Magic Beam, traveling at near light-speed, pierced through from beneath the ground of the teleportation room.

Centered on ‘Fiona’, it enveloped the entire room’s range—

Everything in the path of the Magic Beam was annihilated into nothingness, even the silent aftermath was horrifying to the Grey Mist.

At the critical moment, he barely managed to activate a Talisman on his chest, his figure was then swallowed up, turning into a cloud of Grey Mist, and then thoroughly annihilated.

On the surface outside the secret base, a massive black Magic Beam broke through the earth, shooting straight into the sky.

At the same time, a faint grey mist suddenly emerged out of nowhere on the surface, and then condensed into the figure of the Prophet Grey Mist.

However, the newly appeared Grey Mist had a slightly transparent state, and its aura had also become much weaker.

This was the side effect of a life-saving tool; he had just used his own Mirror of Destiny to block a fatal disaster for himself. But the death of his Mirror of Destiny also had some backlash on his own line of destiny.

Most importantly, Grey Mist finally realized that his judgment had once again been wrong.

The attack, powerful enough to break limits, was not aimed at him, but at ‘Fiona’!

At the same time, the high recognizability of that attack reminded him of its source: the Core armament of the Themis Statue which had appeared once when they explored the Meteor Floating City!

Does that mean, behind this attack, people from [Truth Circle] were involved?!

With doubts in his mind, Grey Mist suddenly began to miss Star, whom he had just issued a dismissal order to.

If Star were still here, then after dodging the attack, he could have returned to the base, instead of fearing to go back like now.

Inside the Secret Vault, even though Anvis could not see Grey Mist’s current state, he could imagine what Grey Mist looked like.

Previously, fearing that Grey Mist would dodge, the target Anvis chose was not Grey Mist himself, but his own avatar.

As a result, it seemed that Mr. Grey Mist got hit by a severe one unexpectedly.
