Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 138: Probing and Change

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Probing and Change

The alley fell into a brief silence.

Then, amid the restless gazes of several men, Anvis slowly turned around.

Under the cloak as dark as night, the shadow veiling his face faded away.

A bizarre and twisted visage was reflected in the eyes of those startled to the point of madness.

It was like the most profound and sinister dark imagination hidden at the very bottom of a nightmare abyss, overturning rationality!

The smooth, featureless pale face seemed to devour both the gaze and the soul, an abnormal black hole.

In that bottomless darkness, there seemed to be some indescribable entity lurking, writhing—

Accompanied by the ancient oppressive force of the [Ancient Majesty], as well as the mental suggestion that Anvis deliberately tuned to a special frequency.

An overwhelming sense of terror seized the hearts of several vagrants present.

Making them tremble all over, their limbs numb with fear, unable to move an inch.

At the same time, dark tentacles stealthily climbed up from their shins, and a grotesque whisper arose beside their ears.

But when listened to carefully, it was clearly arising from within their hearts, gradually filling their entire being.

"Heh! Haha!"

Two men with weaker wills suddenly rolled their eyes back and started to laugh idiotically, drooling from the corners of their mouths, showing a foolish expression.

They had actually suffered a mental collapse due to the unbearable fear in their hearts.

Anvis quickly lessened the intensity of the suggestion and withdrew the tentacles to prevent his experimental subjects from being consumed too early.

But even so, the remaining three vagrants successively suffered mental collapses a few seconds later.

Only the strongest man among them, a scar-faced man, managed to maintain the fragile strings of sanity without snapping completely.

Thus, taking advantage of his gaze fixed on the black hole in the face, Anvis planted the [Twisted Seed] within him.

.........

When Anvis’s clone and his guard Jom arrived, the scene they saw was exactly this.

A girl huddled in a corner, shaking all over.

Several vagrants with vacant gazes, laughing foolishly.

And that man with a strange fanaticism in his demeanor, prostrating before the cloaked figure.

Before the two arrived, the cloaked figure’s face had already returned to pure darkness.

"I understand now."

Gazing at the scene in the alley, Anvis’s clone suddenly ’froze for a moment,’ then nodded naturally to the cloaked figure and turned towards his own guard.

"Guard Jom, please call some guards over."

"Yes, Lord Anvis."

Jom nodded, his powerful Eighth Rank spiritual power extending outward.

But throughout the process, he was careful to avoid the positions of Anvis and the [Mirror Man] to prevent offending the great one.

Soon, guided by a sudden voice and location that sprang up in his mind, a squad of Fengjin City Guards quickly arrived at the scene.

Under Anvis’s signal, they arrested all the vagrants present, including the scar-faced man.

During this process, Anvis left an unstable mark within the Spirit Sea of the scar-faced man.

Should he undergo a Soul Search, the mark would explode, making him go even more mad than his companions.

These mentally collapsed vagrants are his another test for Evan—

Anvis was certain that after these deranged vagrants were taken back, that squad of City Guards would surely report the matter to the City Defense Officer.

Any caster could see that they had experienced a severe fright, their minds completely shattered.

So, when Evan learns of this from his subordinates, he would most likely have a caster search the memories of the scar-faced man, the only one who had retained some semblance of sanity,

Before anything else, they needed to figure out what exactly the "Ninth Rank Guest Elder of the family" had done to them.

Anvis was looking forward to seeing Evan’s reaction upon learning about the additional twisted and horrendous image and odd aura that lurked within several people’s memories.

Besides probing, the results of his previous experiments had also emerged.

When the recipient’s heart-mind is in a state of near collapse with intense fluctuations, it indeed allows the [Twisted Seed] to take shape rapidly.

Unlike in a normal state, where it requires repeated contact with the Caster, slowly increasing growth progress, only to take shape after a long period of time.

Of course, the advantage of the second method is its concealment; it is virtually undetectable.

Both have their pros and cons and can be chosen based on the actual situation.

After arranging several criminally charged vagrants, the girl was escorted by the City Guard Army to leave and find her family.

Before parting, although she was still somewhat afraid to look at the man in the black robe,

the girl nevertheless knelt before Anvis and his two companions, thanking them over and over again.

Had it not been for their rescue, by the next day, only two fates would have been possible for her.

Either to lie cold in an alley, cleared away with the corpses by the guards,

or to be sold into some unknown dens of iniquity, suffering a fate worse than death for the rest of her days.

Therefore, for the life-saving grace she received, she hardly knew how to express her gratitude.

.........

After taking the Teleportation Array back to the Royal Capital from Fengjin City, Anvis instructed the guard Jom to leave, while he himself entered the secret chamber with his clone.

There, he once again connected with the Ancient Secret Scripture through spiritual power.

The moment the formless darkness began Climbing onto the cover, the moss green hefty book suddenly opened on its own.

Under the envelopment of the power of the Ancient Secret Scripture, Anvis suddenly detected something abnormal.

There was an extremely covert abnormal aura quietly flowing out from within his clone, which was spontaneously being devoured by the pages of the hefty book.

This aura was all too familiar to him; it was the same special odd aura contained within the gemstone statue of the deity he had encountered in Evan’s place.

If it were not for the existence of the Ancient Secret Scripture, he would have never noticed this.

After a thought, Anvis simply decided to dissolve the clone.

As the clone collapsed into a pile of dust, a tremendously large collection of Alien Power suddenly emerged and was then sucked in by the Ancient Secret Scripture like a whale absorbing water.

Looking at this scene, Anvis’s expression remained serene.

He did not know what the effect would be if he allowed these powers to stay attached to him over a long period of time.

But he was also unconcerned about it.

The reason why he behaved so unguardedly in the City Lord Mansion and indulged in everything offered by Evan was precisely because of the clone.

Even if Evan did indeed want to do something to him by taking the opportunity of his visit, it would have been futile.

After absorbing this large bundle of Alien Power, the pages of the Ancient Secret Scripture glowed faintly.

Anvis suddenly felt a thin but incredibly pure stream of energy flowing from the Ancient Secret Scripture into his body, causing his spiritual power and physical qualities to increase considerably in an instant.

This was not like the unstable enhancements due to the forced infusion of spiritual power using treasures.

This increase in strength was genuine, as if in that very instant, he had suddenly undergone an additional half month of training—

At the same time, the fluctuation for unlocking new Class Magic appeared once again within Anvis’s Spirit Sea.

[Mirror Realm Travel]

’One can enter the surface of a mirror and manifest within other mirrors within a kilometer radius.’

Besides this new Class Magic, the effects of this bundle of Alien Power didn’t stop here.

Several previously unlocked Class Magics all received a partial enhancement in their abilities.
