Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 214: Abnormal Element

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Abnormal Element

Suggested Challenge Level: 20+.

Seems doable, way better than those newbie tutorial tasks that start at 80+...

Xia Ye Yinghuo glanced at her own game panel.

Lv.4

[Experience Value: 450/4000]

Damn it!

This task must be mocking my noob skills!

But when she looked at Anvis standing before her, Xia Ye Yinghuo couldn’t bring herself to be angry.

Suddenly, she noticed that tonight, the young man was wearing an outfit she hadn’t seen before.

An elegantly textured black cloak over a pure white, exquisite magic robe; the robe’s high collar adorned with golden patterns shimmering with magical luster, a wavy scarf inlaid with diamond-shaped gemstones radiating Silver Moon-like brilliance, and white gold delicate chains hanging on the buttonholes.

Even deep within the night, the young man’s figure still emanated a faint white, hazy halo.

Seemingly aware of the girl stealthily sizing him up, the light golden-haired youth smiled at her, that graceful smile instantly turning Xia Ye Yinghuo’s cheeks red.

Okay, I’ll forgive the developers for the sake of this attractive newbie guide NPC—

Wait, when did I start losing health?

Finally noticing that her panel showed only half of her health remaining, Xia Ye Yinghuo hastily checked the game log and discovered a negative status effect [Dream Burning] among the updated information.

[Dream Burning]: Ignites the dream realm, using it as kindling, obtaining brief flames and light. Deadly to low-rank dream creatures, 50% reduced effect on non-dream entities.

Even though Xia Ye Yinghuo possessed a corporeal form, because her character level was below forty, the ultimate negative effect resulted in losing 5% of her maximum life every 30 seconds.

"How is there no audio warning for this!"

While taking out a leaf of romaine lettuce, Xia Ye Yinghuo couldn’t help but complain, not feeling it was her own oversight.

But just as she was about to eat it, she caught a glimpse of Anvis standing beside her out of the corner of her eye.

Looking at the lettuce that was as big as her head, then at Anvis, and after a thought, the half-elf girl put the lettuce back.

Never mind, it’s not exactly elegant.

At the same time, she suddenly noticed a very conspicuous prompt pop up on her panel

[System Prompt: Do you want to enable the status alert feature? This feature provides immediate voice notifications when the player’s character acquires new statuses. To enhance player immersion, this feature is disabled by default.]

"There’s a feature like this? Why wasn’t I informed earlier! Enable immediately!"

Surprised yet delighted seeing this system prompt, Xia Ye Yinghuo hurriedly clicked to activate immediately.

Oh no.

Seeing the girl’s panel interaction, Anvis’s gaze directly shifted to her face.

The iconic scene is coming.

Meanwhile, after the girl clicked to confirm the activation, another new prompt box popped up on the panel.

[Activating this feature will cost 64.8 yuan.]

[Confirm],[Cancel]

"??"

The half-elf girl player’s eyes widened, her mouth agape, her face flushing red and then turning pale, unable to utter a word.

May the cunning developers have problems.

In front, seeing the girl’s confused and baffled look, Anvis, whose anticipation was satisfied, casually threw a lower-tier Healing Light Ball, restoring the girl’s health to full.

Meanwhile, Anvis also noticed that among the negative status effects listed on the young girl, there was one named [Dream Erosion III].

It seemed to be caused by the influence of the Anomaly Zone, resulting in the erosion of her dreams.

At this moment, inside Lavales Port, the faint ripple of Rai’s force field was no longer present.

He extended a strand of light once more, sweeping over the girl’s body, and dispelled the negative status.

"Lord Anvis, can you even remove this?"

Seeing the prompt that [Dream Erosion III] had disappeared, the girl was stunned for a moment before almost jumping up in excitement.

She had originally braced herself for the loss of a Resurrection Crystal tonight, but to her surprise, a delightful turn of events unfolded at the last moment.

"Wait, Lord Anvis, can you help my companions get rid of this status as well?"

After her excitement, she immediately remembered Lorna who could not leave that house.

"She’s even younger than I am and can’t leave that haunted house because of the curse."

As she spoke, Xia Ye Yinghuo pointed towards a house in the distance, her tone carrying a plea.

Anvis looked in the direction the girl was pointing; it seemed to be the same Anomaly Zone he had previously explored.

Your companions are in the Anomaly Zone and can’t leave?

"Alright, I’ll go have a look."

Giving the girl an odd glance to confirm she hadn’t accepted some quest seducing unsuspecting NPCs, Anvis still approached the vicinity of the Anomaly Zone.

At the same time, that faint attraction emanated once more from within the house.

Gazing at this place which was entirely different from how it seemed by day and by night, Anvis pondered for a moment and then walked into the Anomaly Zone again, this time with Jom.

Xia Ye Yinghuo followed behind the two, feeling smug and hopeful about finally being able to save Lorna.

But the moment the two entered the house and saw Lorna, Jom instantly lifted his hand and a burst of ice-blue Sword Qi shone forth.

At the same time, the small black-haired girl who had returned to the windowside due to the moonlight’s disappearance now dove straight into the fireplace, hiding her upper body in the chimney tunnel, leaving only her smooth small legs exposed and shivering outside.

Although flames were lit in the fireplace, they passed through the girl’s legs like mere phantoms, having no effect.

"Stop it! What are you doing to Lorna!"

Shocked by the tense atmosphere inside the room, Xia Ye Yinghuo ran forward without caring for her own safety, glared at Jom, and with arms spread, shielded the fireplace with her body like a hen protecting her chicks.

At the same time, she cast a glance filled with plea towards Anvis, hoping her idol could save the day.

"The companion you’re talking about, is it referring to that?"

Anvis looked at the dark figure in the fireplace with some doubt.

After pondering, Anvis shared a vision link with Xia Ye Yinghuo to see what the young player was seeing.

"Put away your sword, Jom."

After seeing the girl in the fireplace, Anvis shook his head speechlessly.

Perhaps only to ’ordinary people’ with strength below a certain level does it show such an appearance.

At the same time, his gaze was once again drawn to the painting on the living room wall, which had drastically changed.

A blurry-faced boy and girl held hands, standing on the high cliffs of a small island.

An orange sunset enveloped them, draping the pair in a blanket of warm hues.

The backdrop was an endless clear sea, with ancient city ruins of rock faintly visible beneath the waters. The tiny fish swimming among the ruins seemed to still be singing the tales of those bygone days.

Even without activating True Eye, in Anvis’s sight, it was currently emitting a soft, moon-like bright radiance.

This painting was a Trait equivalent to a Ninth Rank Limit material anomaly.
