Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 132 Flesh Clone

Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Flesh Clone

Several days later, the Duke contacted him again.

"Evan has no abnormalities, only a slight injury during his travel, and there is no other problem."

"As for the scene you perceived, it is likely related to the influence of the power of a special mysterious object that he discovered during his travels."

"I have also examined that mysterious object, and indeed there are some abnormalities, but with Evan’s capabilities, he is well able to handle it himself, there is no need to worry."

"Alright, I understand now, father."

Watching the Crystal Ball dimming in front of him, Anvis slightly bowed his head with a slightly concentrated gaze.

The Ancient Secret Scripture, which had returned to its original form, was spread out in front of him, its pages turned to the third section of the main text, at the page recording the first segment.

The dark green bizarre characters were slightly flowing and flickering.

It was as if countless eyes were watching him, extraordinarily odd.

The Ninth Rank Duke went to investigate but did not detect any abnormalities.

Was he wrong in his guess?

Is it really just a coincidence that the items Evan brought back from his trip relate to the content previously unlocked in the Ancient Secret Scripture?

.........

Perhaps not—

The Ancient Secret Scripture, stored in the miscellaneous area of the Great Book Collection Room in Moon Castle and sealed for over two thousand years, is a good example.

Before he connected with his spiritual power, Duke Carrot also could not see through its hiding.

This explains one thing: the Ninth Rank is indeed strong, but still far from being omniscient and omnipotent.

With a flicker in his eyes, Anvis finally resolved to ’personally’ go to Evan’s territory to investigate.

It has already been proven that when facing ancient and bizarre things, the Ancient Secret Scripture is of great help to him.

If that mysterious object, or Evan himself, indeed has an issue, then it might cause new changes in the Ancient Secret Scripture.

Thinking of this, he lifted the thick, dark green book with one hand, his right hand touching the bizarrely smooth surface of the main text page, and activated the [Flesh Clone].

As everyone knows, a clone is also oneself—

After activating the ability, a strange sensation came from within.

Anvis had a thought, and a strand of pale golden hair suddenly broke off at the root, lightly held in midair by his spiritual power.

Then, he took off the pure white glove he always wore on his right hand, his slender fingers reaching out.

At his pale fingertips, a small clump of flesh exhibiting intense magic power fluctuations suddenly wriggled, forming a small bud of flesh.

When this clump of flesh touched the hair, it suddenly expanded rapidly.

Pale bones condensed out, and crimson flesh rapidly spread and grew from them.

Pale yellow fascia and tendons wriggled like earthworms, covering the muscle surface, while pale golden hair surged out of the pale skin...

Soon, the initially bizarre lump of flesh had an appearance nearly identical to Anvis’s.

In contrast, Anvis felt a strong sense of hunger, as if he had suddenly been starving for months.

He knew in his heart that this must be the cost of casting [Flesh Clone].

Unlike ordinary clone magic, the [Flesh Clone] produced a clone that truly has a physical form, rather than being purely composed of magic power.

This makes the realism of the clone rise more than one level, but as a consequence, the magic power and nutrition needed for the flesh to split and proliferate also need to be borne by his own body.

Taking out several Demonized Fruits containing abundant magic power and a bottle of [Vigorous Life Potion] as an emergency supplement from his ring,

Anvis quickly ate them, and this intense feeling of hunger was slightly alleviated.

.........

After the clone was fully formed, Anvis withdrew his finger, slightly closed his eyes, and tried to communicate with his clone.

The next moment, he instinctively felt a strange and illusory connection within his mind.

The sensation of controlling the clone was wonderful, as if he suddenly had an extra limb that was not connected to his body.

Anvis tried to control the clone to move its hands and feet, take a few steps, summon a Twisted Touch, pinched an ice bird, and finally stared at himself for a second.

The distance between the two was 1.3 meters, how many times did that gaze reflect back and forth between them?

After getting familiar with the control of the clone, Anvis found a spare academy uniform to dress it in.

Then, he controlled the clone to leave his residence, and took a Floating Disc heading straight north.

The "Ancient Secret Scripture" did not specify the maximum control distance and duration for a "Flesh Clone."

But based on Anvis’ understanding of magic knowledge, flesh-based corporeal clones can exist for a long time, but the control distance is likely not infinite.

About three minutes later, the sense of connection from the clone suddenly began to weaken, becoming intermittent.

Normal control distance around ten kilometers?

Having deduced this data, Anvis did not stop testing.

When the distance of the Flesh Clone approached twenty kilometers from him, he suddenly felt that he could not proceed any further.

Just like how an arm can’t stretch any further once it’s fully extended, the same applied to the control of the clone.

Clearly, the limit of control range was a circle with a radius of twenty kilometers.

Leaving his residence, Anvis reconnected with his clone and controlled the Floating Disc to return.

He already had a complete plan in mind for this reconnaissance mission.

.........

The next day, Royal Capital, Olivendi branch.

"Lord Anvis, what are your orders?"

Eighth Rank Frostwind Knight Jom entered the study and saw Anvis sitting behind the desk...

And sitting on the other side of the room, a figure shrouded in a pitch-black cloak as dark as night, with a face obscured by dark shadows, dimly indiscernible.

As a guard by instinct, he couldn’t help but scrutinize the shadowy figure closely.

With the strength of an Eighth Rank, he easily saw through the shadows, seeing the facial features of the cloaked figure.

But the moment he saw the true face of the figure, Jom instantly went into alert mode.

Hidden under those shadows was a face so maddeningly bizarre!

A flat face with no features, only a smooth expanse of ghastly pale!

In the center, where features should be, there was only a dark abyssal hole, seemingly leading nowhere, deformed and profound!

The moment he saw the hollow, an ancient and sinister pressure, as if crawling out of a bottomless abyss, instantly enveloped his entire body along his line of sight.

A chill raced from his spine to the back of his head, and under this pressure, Jom instinctively tensed his body, as his magic power started to operate on its own.

Eerie! Terrifying! Indescribable!

This was Jom’s first impression of the figure!

"Let me introduce you, Lord Jom, this is a Ninth Rank Highness from our family who has temporarily come.

As for his specific identity, I am not at liberty to disclose."

Looking at his family’s Secret Guard, Anvis smiled elegantly.

"However, you may call him the ’Mirror Man’."
