?Chapter 909: 284. In a hurry

“For me, as long as I have Deconstruction in hand, Lonco and his two Magic Avatars plotting in secret is no different than them babbling in front of my face,” Nnd said.
Nnd ate the fruit prepared by Denise Green, deconstructing the information obtained from Lonco in his mind.

Previously, Nnd hadpletely deconstructed Lonco.
After all, Lonco was Selena’s elder brother, and he could interfere with Selena’s decision-making.
Just this point alone made it worthwhile for Nnd to treat him seriously with Deconstruction.
This time, after initiating Deconstruction, the Memory Fragments Nnd acquired were all new and rted to today’s events.
Nnd opened each Memory Fragment to look through them.
Half an hourter, he had a clear understanding of the plot between the three individuals named Lonco.
“Nolin, please organize thebat data and store it in the ess Instrument. I’lle back to look at itter,” Nnd said, standing up.
“Of course, Sir,” Nicolette replied, pushing up her sses:
“Are you going to leave the Underground for a while? I have something to report to you.”
“Oh? What is it?” Nnd asked while he was tidying up the tes on the table.
“You assigned me a Task to take care of Nicolette,” Nicolette tapped a few times on the ess Instrument, opening a chart:
“Based on the ‘Artificial Angel Breeding Manual’ you gave me, I’ve calcted the time when Nicolette will wake up. She will wake up anywhere between 5 to 10 hours in the future. I suggest that you try not to leave Ind No. 33 during this period in case an emergency arises that I can’t handle when Nicolette wakes up.”
“Uh-huh, 5 to 10 hours, no problem, I got it.”
Nnd nodded.
In truth, even without Nolin’s reminder, he was already keeping track of it.
ording to the feedback from Deconstruction, Nicolette would wake up on schedule in 7 hours.
The uracy of Deconstruction surpassed Nolin’s, but this didn’t prevent Nnd from using the Task as a pretext to raise Nolin’s sense of belonging, sense of mission, and loyalty.
“I’m going upstairs to see Selena, I’ll be back soon.”
Nnd greeted Nicolette and cast a Flight Spell to enter the passageway in the Ceiling.
“Alright, Sir,” Nicolette watched as he left.
…
…
Ind No.33, inside the Study Room on the Fifth Floor.
Nnd activated “Soul Perception” and called Selena over.
At the moment, Selena still didn’t know about the “Saint Level Thunder Wizard” forcefully taking control of the Dark Clouds.
In her expected scenario:
The “Saint Level Thunder Wizard” invited to help in the battle should have kindly reminded Nnd and waited for him to release his control over the Dark Clouds before taking over the control himself.
The moment she stepped into Nnd’s Study Room, she was still holding the ount Book that had just been tallied, carrying a smile of bountiful gains.
However, upon entering the Study Room, she was shocked to see a pale, lifeless, and utterly haggard face.
“Jarvis! What happened?! How could you be so badly injured?”
Selena dropped the ount Book on the Table, her face turning paler, and she anxiously walked towards Nnd, but was pushed back by an invisible force.
“Cough cough cough…” Nnd coughed hoarsely:
“Don’te near me, Selena.”
“What happened?” Selena stood still, gazing intently at Nnd, her eyes brimming with concern and her hands nervously intertwining in front of her.
Nnd, breathing like a leaky bellows, exhausted and weak, pointed to the Chair opposite the Table:
“Sit… cough cough cough… sit down, Selena. I’ve suffered a severe Magic bacsh, and I nearly lost my life. Such an injury is beyond even Denise Green’s help; I just need to quietly recuperate on my own.”
“How could this be…”
Selena looked dazed, panic flickering across her face.
Quickly, she thought of something, turned her head to look out the window, directing a fierce coldness towards the direction of Subsea No.13:
“Damned Saint Level Combat Wizard! Did he forcefully take control of the Dark Clouds, causing your Magic bacsh?! I’m going to settle the score with him right now!!”
Selena shouted angrily, her voice nearly deformed by rage, far from her usual grace and calmness.
The fluid Magic Robe on her body began to writhe swiftly.
In an instant, it transformed from a luxurious gown into abat robe with striped Cloak and epaulettes.
Her body and head transformed from flesh and blood into translucent fluid.
The whole person’s appearance changed to that of a fierce female Combat Wizard, as opposed to the dignifieddy she was before.
“Cough cough cough… Selena, don’t do anything foolish… I..”
Before Nnd could finish his words, Selena turned into pure transparent fluid and flew out through the gaps in the window.
A sh of light streaked across the Heavens outside the window, and Selena hadpletely vanished.
Nnd’s mouth fell open slightly:
