Support and Evasion

"Th-That's Uncle Pomona?!"

As the Floating City that had suddenly descended vanished, taking the unprepared Pomona with it, Fiona let out a startled cry.

The situation had changed too quickly, leaving her almost unable to take it all in.

"Don't worry, Fi. Clan uncle Pomona is a powerful Ninth-Rank Lord. He'll definitely be fine."

Anvis's calm words from beside her steadied the Girl, who had been at a loss after Pomona's sudden disappearance.

"Mm, that makes sense. Then should we find a way to support him? If clan uncle can return, he'll be a huge help to us, right?

Don't let my appearance fool you—I'm really strong in the Dream World too!"

Having grasped the situation, Fiona looked to Anvis for his opinion, eager to give it a try.

She recalled the feeling of controlling Rule Power through the Inheritance Land in the Dream World before. Within the Dream World covered by the Inheritance Land's influence, she had been nearly omnipotent, like a creator.

"Don't be reckless, Fi. Right now, we should prioritize ensuring our own safety! That would be the greatest help we could give clan uncle Pomona, who disregarded his own safety to lure the enemy away for us!"

Although he has now left together with that Floating City suspected to belong to the Circle of Truth, we should still follow his earlier instructions and find somewhere safe to hide for a while."

Anvis hurriedly dissuaded her from this dangerous idea.

He understood the Girl's reasoning. From Fiona's uninformed perspective, if they could rescue Pomona, they would gain a crucial Ninth-Rank combatant.

But setting aside the possibility that Pomona had already betrayed them, more than one Ninth Rank was currently pursuing the Floating City. To Fiona, they were no less dangerous than the Star Praise Sect.
