Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

Chapter 346: Chapter 121: Brave

"Buzz—"

At the moment of contact, a short and piercing buzz of magic power rang out instantly.

The fierce consumption between the Dimension Cutting and the Force Field Shield caused a large area of instability near the point of collision,

The attacking level of the former was much higher, but since it had been stored for millions of years, and its user was not truly legendary, its power exceeded the Ninth Rank Limit, but still did not reach the legendary level.

However, supported by the continual flow of magic power, the shield managed to maintain a momentary state of relative stillness.

But as time passed, the defense of the shield ultimately could not resist the power of the Dimension Cutting.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound, a part of the barrier shattered like a thin film, and the Dimension Cutting instantly penetrated through, directly exiting from the other side of the barrier due to the angle of attack.

But to everyone’s surprise, the barrier did not completely disappear due to the breach, but only two round holes were pierced through it.

Even more, these two holes were slowly self-repairing!

Seeing this, Vice-Chancellor Hughes and another Ninth Rank did not hesitate any longer and immediately tried to enter to rescue.

But just as they arrived at the breach, a terrifyingly huge platinum-colored magic pillar shot out from the inside, instantly hitting the two who couldn’t avoid in time.

That was an attack from a defensive tower within the city, which, after being reconnected to the source of magic power, the previously semi-defunct autonomous Defensive Array resumed operation.

On one side of the Protection Shield, Hughes and the other figure appeared somewhat in disarray. Judging from the varying degrees of weakened aura on them, they both had sustained injuries from this abrupt attack.

"The space inside the ruins is extremely stable, impossible to teleport through; we can only force our way in."

Shaking his head helplessly, Hughes relayed the result he just perceived.

Looking at the slowly contracting Protection Shield, everyone was somewhat at a loss for words.

They could all sense the power of that platinum-colored magic pillar; it was very close to the Ninth Rank Limit.

Perhaps they could defend against it for a short time, but since the ruins’ Protective Shield was still gradually repairing itself, and no one was certain whether there were other defensive devices inside the ruins. No one dared to risk being trapped without an escape route and charge in against the attack.

"This time, my Alfred Family has one person trapped in the ruins. Duke Carrot, may I ask how the Olivendi Family is faring?"

Gazing towards the direction of the ruins, a middle-aged man with light golden curly hair and eyes like amethyst casua

lly struck up a conversation next to Duke Carrot.

"Olivendi is in an even worse situation, Lord Jilan, my two children who were studying in Pamir are currently inside the ruins."

Frowning slightly, Carrot shook his head and casually answered the man beside him.

"Both of them are inside?"

Having the matter confirmed, Jilan’s expression also became somewhat grim. At the same time, he passed a spiritual power message secretly to Carrot.

"You should not have agreed to let her participate, that’s like joking with our only achievement!"

"It seems the Royal Family has discovered something. To avoid attracting more suspicion, I agreed to let her join the competition. Indeed, that was my mistake. But no one could have anticipated such an accident with the ruins."

Staring in the direction of the ruins with an unwavering gaze, Carrot replied.

The reason they had agreed to change the competition location to the Meteorite Ruins was precisely because they had already explored it once, eliminating virtually all dangers.

And the students who trigger an unexpected discovery wouldn’t be many, at most just a few; even if all of them perished due to some accident in the discovery, it was tolerable compared to the potential for a huge find.

But at the time, no one could have imagined that a ruin that was almost fully explored could still experience such a bizarre incident as the entire ruin teleporting as a whole while simultaneously expelling all Ninth Rank Professionals within it.

"Hmph, some people have finally come, they really do have a dog’s keen sense of smell."

Suddenly, Jilan let out a low, cold snort.

At the same time, another somewhat indifferent voice suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Quite a lively scene here, everyone. May the Radiance of God shine upon you—"

As this voice spoke, numerous figures clad in red and black robes appeared at the side of the ruins.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a solemn face, wearing a deep red majestic robe, enveloped in a faint light. He was one of the Seven Bishops of the Church Court — Holy Judgment Yogesen.

With his words, a milky white irregular crystal stone the size of a fist appeared in the palm of his hand.

The words spoken by His Holiness the Pope before departure once again echoed in his mind.

"For the sake of the Light, leave as many as possible at the bottom of the sea—"

.........

At this time, underground at the ruins.

After sending the numerous students to join up with the main force, Anvis’s figure reappeared in the cave’s great hall.

Noticing his return, everyone was somewhat astonished. Only Claire glanced at him thoughtfully.

"Lord Anvis, didn’t you go to guide them to meet up with the rest of the academy? Have you already arrived?"

With a forced smile, Rein asked with a slightly unnatural tone.

"Of course not. I am guiding them towards the direction of the academy’s team. What has returned here now is merely one of my duplicates."

Giving him a glance, Anvis spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Guiding those students who hope to reunite with the main force back to the group, minimizing casualties, is my duty as a member of the Olivendi Family, and also in the interests of the Empire.

But personally, I also wish to continue exploring the secrets of this place. Just as I respect everyone’s opinion and would not force anyone who does not want to leave to do so."

Is this a duplicate?

After listening to Anvis, Rein sensed something with a bit of confusion but did not say anything more.

No one continued to say anything. Anvis came back to Claire’s side, and incidentally waved towards a certain silver-haired girl in the crowd.

In this kind of ruins with all information unknown, having a player beside you can play a very significant role.

Especially when this player is rather silly and also very obedient.

"Anvis... do you need any help?"

Seeing his gesture, Xia Ye Yinghuo walked up to his side with a forced cheerful smile, greeting him as usual.

Her teammate had already left with another duplicate of Anvis, and once again she was the only one remaining here.

"You, are very brave."

Glancing at the approaching girl, recalling who she was, Claire nodded to her and spoke in her usual indifferent tone.

"Thank you for the compliment..."

Looking at the latest [Assist in Investigation] task in her mission bar, Xia Ye Yinghuo felt like crying but had no tears.

Since she still owed Anvis seventeen thousand Gold Coins, she couldn’t refuse this task—
