Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 188 Holy Object and… Evan

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Holy Object and... Evan

As a thick ice-blue light column, akin to the Heavenly God’s scepter, deeply penetrated into the depths of the Earth’s strata, dramatic changes occurred in the environment.

It seemed as though something deeply hidden had suddenly been punctured.

The previously ordinary relic environment began to distort, dense and ominous mists of black and green rising from the ruins’ surface, making the already somber sky even darker and eerier.

The weathered rock statues and the relief walls crumbled, becoming indistinct, while an invisible force enveloped the entire ruins, as if a giant creature was gradually awakening.

This magnificent scene startled birds within a dozen miles. They flapped their slightly mutated wings, screeching sharply as they flew into the sky, circling without landing for a long time.

Watching the striking changes at the relics, Anvis glanced at Jom, a hint of inquiry in his deep blue eyes.

Facing the youth’s gaze, Jom slightly shook his head.

This gesture had two meanings:

For now, there was no overly powerful resistance encountered, and they had not yet found any trace of Evan.

As time passed, the diameter of the giant blue column gradually slimmed down, and the terrifying initial magic fluctuations slowly diminished.

Eventually, due to lack of sustained power, after a faint flicker, this terrifying Sword Qi finally vanished without a trace.

But, as Jom’s attack receded, that eerie and blurry atmosphere of black and green became denser, as if a bottle cap had been opened.

Gradually, in the sky above the relics, a giant spectral projection clad in a dark green sinister sacrificial robe coalesced.

Ancient and sinister twisted might emanated from the figure’s body, making the relics, which were large enough to be the size of a major village, look like a miniature toy model beneath it.

With a wary gaze at this scene, Anvis looked at Jom for the second time.

Such dramatic effects likely indicated the presence of at least a High Rank Boss.

Jom’s eyebrows also slightly furrowed, but he didn’t take any particular action, just briefly explained to Anvis.

"That is not real, Lord Anvis, it is just a special force projection, capable of exerting strength of about Seventh Rank at most, do not worry."

Above the relics, as the solidity of the image reached a certain level, a harsh and emotionless voice suddenly resounded out of nowhere.

"Pseudo God’s lackey..."

That seemingly tangible sound wave, carrying a dim and indistinct tint of chaotic Alien Power, echoed around every creature’s ears in the environment, centered on the image.

Frowning slightly at this scene, Anvis watched the image intently, observing every detail of its form.

He recognized that sacrificial robe, foreseeing in the scene that the Priest standing at the top of the altar was indeed clad in such a style.

"You managed to detect the trap, but all of this is in vain."

"The Holy Object is no longer here; your arrogance and greed, where will it lead you and your companions?"

Pseudo God’s lackey? Holy Object?

Listening to these few sentences, Anvis keenly picked up on the keywords in the figure’s words.

He suddenly realized, he might have inadvertently stumbled upon some deep secrets about this island, of which he was previously unaware.

"The time has truly begun to countdown, when the original moon arrives, it will take us home."

"And you, there is already no escape—"

Without making any attacking moves, as the last two sentences ended, the giant figure in the sky, just as it had appeared, disintegrated back into a murky mist and gradually faded away.

Looking at the sky, which had returned to its normal color but remained gloomy, as well as the huge frost-white cavity left in the center of the ruins.

Glancing around the desolate wilderness, Anvis slowly began moving towards the direction of the ruins.

After all, this was the gathering point of the Moon Calling Secret Sect, which through this place, was sufficient for him to collect enough medium, to forcibly pinpoint the location of the actual sacrificial site.

Furthermore, when Jom’s attack broke a certain hidden magic enveloping the ruins, he could already sense Evan’s presence through the bloodline secret technique.

"Let’s go down and take a look — "

Although it wasn’t visible from the surface, deep underground in the dark labyrinth, the original stone passages had taken on a pure white frost.

Members wearing black robes, Alien God believers, stood along the passage, maintaining their postures, but their bodies were covered with thick frost, resembling freezing black statues.

They were not dead; to avoid mishaps, Anvis requested Jom to restrain all living beings.

The entire underground labyrinth was originally enveloped by a huge Secret Ceremony Array, as if waiting for certain people to arrive.

The arranger seemed very certain that there must be someone who would enter the labyrinth personally in search of a certain item.

But now, Anvis, together with Jom, suddenly intruded, directly destroying the entire underground labyrinth from the outside, breaking all the arrangements.

Examining the remnants of the Array, Anvis wasn’t even sure if he and Jom, if utterly unaware, could have escaped unharmed if the Array was intact.

But at the same time as the danger, the benefits of delving deeper were also very substantial.

If you want to capture fierce beasts, you must set bait of corresponding levels in the traps.

In the storerooms of the underground ruins, Anvis found a box of Platinum Coins, several boxes of Silver Coins, and some ornate, exotic Magic Ornaments and weapons equipment.

Half a box of extremely high-quality Heart of Amis gemstones, several more ordinary boxes of Heart of Amis, along with other precious Demonized Metal materials like Secret Star Gold and Abyss Silver, seemingly all products of the archipelago’s mountains.

The levels of those Magic Items ranged from Fourth Tier to Seventh Tier, mostly adorned with tentacles and Spiritual Magic.

However, these were not the most crucial.

In the Core Hall of the ruins, next to a Seventh Tier freezing Alien God believer, Anvis found half of a mysterious stone eggshell on the display column.

This eggshell appeared to be one half of the two broken pieces left behind after some creature hatched. It was made from a pale-white crystal material, which seemed somewhat out of place in the evil relic environment filled with black and green hues.

On that eggshell, Anvis once again felt that faint, serene field fluctuation similar to that in Lavales Temple.

Although it was also affected by the aftermath of Jom’s attack, the eggshell itself remained completely undamaged.

Anvis could not immediately understand the function of this eggshell, but this did not hinder his judgment.

This is an exceptionally high-tier Mysterious Object!

Based on the Pseudo God worshipper’s noise ’the lackey of the Pseudo God’, Anvis instinctively thought of the Bishop of the Holy Radiance Church he had seen earlier in the ’Dormant Sea Demon’, wearing a cloak.

This eggshell was very likely prepared for him.

The degree of preciousness of this bait, which could attract an Eighth Rank Bishop of the Holy Radiance Church, is imaginable.

Meanwhile, after thoroughly exploring the ruins, following the guidance of the bloodline secret technique, Anvis finally found the figure of Evan, who had been missing for many days, in a damp, cold stone dungeon deep within the ruins.

But when he broke through the pink, massive cluster of tentacles, freeing that figure from the endless wriggling tentacles.

Anvis suddenly understood why Jom had just mentioned not finding any traces of Evan.
