Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 584 - 102 Siege and Information Leak

"Damn you, how dare you?!"

At this moment, one of the Four Nightmares, Lilith of Lust, was both shocked and enraged.

She had been delightfully ’educating’ this Dream World, such as saturating the fairy tale kingdom in this remote area with the hues of desire.

Put simply, spring had come, everything was reviving, and it was the mating season for the animals.

And while they indulged in desires, their very essence was quietly altered—their once fairy-tale-like fantastical aura faded, transforming into dark and distorted aggregates of lust.

During the transformation process, Lilith herself would receive corresponding feedback. In her actions to spread desire, she made her own essence stronger.

Previously, the guy from Despair’s Black Abyss seemed to have sent her a message, inviting her to meet him in his Despair Domain.

Although Lilith agreed, she didn’t plan to go immediately. She intended to first transform a sufficient number of the local beings of the Dream World, to obtain enough benefits and strength enhancement before going to discuss how to seize the core area of this world.

As one of the Four Nightmares, she also had her own ambitions.

Originally a Dream Spellcaster, Lilith had fallen into this world by a fluke due to a failed magical experiment.

Depending on her dream magic, she quickly changed her profession to the ’hidden profession’ of a Nightmare Spirit and spent eighty years defeating one powerful enemy after another until she finally ascended to the rank of the symbol of Lust and became the Fourth Nightmare.

As the weakest among the Four Nightmares, yet her journey not yet complete, what she truly desired was to further expand her trait into ’Desire’.

Only by advancing further, would she have the chance to wrestle with the King of Nightmare Spirits who weighed down upon her.

But the strength of the King of Nightmare Spirits was far too formidable—she had once been fortunate to witness it. Merely one strike instantly erased the combined efforts of five Eighth Rank Trialists at their limits; not one survived.

His power was unreasonably strong, bringing her a despair so profound that she deeply wished never to confront him. Yet, the ultimate inheritance here could only be acquired by the Trialist or Nightmare Spirit who obtained the complete Authority Fragment first.

By then, all beings that fell into the Inheritance Land would be at the mercy of the Inheritance World’s Controller, their life and death depending on the other party’s single thought—becoming subordinates was the only path available.

However, she did not place all her hopes in one basket, she had also left herself an escape route in case of failure.

That was to find a powerful ally for cooperation, to assist the other party in controlling this Inheritance Land, and in exchange for serving them for a hundred years, gain a new body from the Yar Continent. Then, forsaking her own Authority Fragment, forcefully leave this Inheritance World.

But while her perfect plan was underway, a series of terrifying Dream Realm attacks appeared out of nowhere and, aided by a succession of control spells, instantly struck the unsuspecting Lilith.

Dream Realm Tear, Soul Annihilation, Advanced Negative Purification...

Each magical attack, bearing a unique dreamlike attribute, differed starkly from the highly negative nature of other Nightmare Spirits’ attacks.

Caught off guard by this series of strikes, the aura around Lilith suddenly weakened and became extremely unstable.

Judging by the power of those attacks, it was clear the enemy’s Strength was on par with hers, and there was more than one of them!

Amidst her shock and rage, Lilith let out a shrill scream. Her solidified trump card of Great Magic, Desire Tide, exploded in an instant, flooding the vicinity for dozens of miles around.

Thus, the multitude of Trialists, while putting up defenses against the attacks, also had their figures revealed, unable to stay hidden any longer.

"One, two, three, four... four top-tier Trialists, huh? You all think quite highly of me."

Her gaze slowly swept over the numerous invading enemies, paying particular attention to the four strongest presences, and a strong sense of astonishment and anger appeared in Lilith’s rose-purple eyes.

She could have never imagined that these Trialists, who usually hid from them like rabbits from a tiger, would dare to band together and launch a surprise attack on her!?

"Hehe~ I will prove to you that choosing me as your target is the biggest mistake of your lives!"

Fueled by rage, Lilith actually burst into laughter. Her fiery body gently trembled, drawing the attention of all the trialists with its substantial mass.

Accompanied by her coquettish laugh, the peach-pink strange patterns on her body illuminated. Her vast Lust Domain began to expand widely, eroding and affecting the rationality of many trialists.

But since she was already wounded, the domain’s effect was minimal under the combined efforts of everyone.

As she winessed the results of their attacks, despair sank in Lilith’s heart. Although she would not admit defeat verbally, she knew that she probably had to pay dearly to escape this time.

....

After a moment, accompanied by a tremendous Dream Realm explosion, amidst the colorful light and shadows of fantasy, Lilith’s fiery Dream Demon form completely disintegrated, and strands of purple-pink Desire energy scattered and fled in all directions, but the majority of it was intercepted by the well-prepared crowd.

"Not bad at all! Quite a few purple Authority Fragments as well."

"Feedback from the Inheritance Land has arrived. The reward for slaying one of the Four Nightmares is close to directly passing a Second Level Trial World!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Really? I only got the reward equivalent to passing a First Level Trial; it probably relates to the degree of participation. However, she dropped quite a lot of blue Authority Fragments. After I return, my power should advance further!"

As they counted their respective gains, everyone was in high spirits.

The essence of the Four Nightmares was still that of Nightmare Spirits. Killing them here meant every trialist present had, in essence, passed a Trial World. Depending on their level of effort, they also received different task evaluations.

"Should we take this opportunity to take down another one of the Four Nightmares? According to the display on the sand table, Dark Tidis’s palace should not be far from here."

With an unexpectedly rich harvest, the crowd’s mentality slightly inflated. A trialist, who carried a luxurious lace umbrella and had the appearance of a golden-haired noble lady, eagerly suggested taking action.

The individual strength of the Four Nightmares was significantly greater than that of these trialists. If they encountered one alone, they had no choice but to flee or outsmart it.

But now, with this rare opportunity to explore the New World, they had gathered together, and their collective strength was, in fact, superior to that of the Four Nightmares.

Although Lilith of Lust had fled, in her weakened state, she wouldn’t dare appear before the other three Nightmares now.

Before the full mobilization against Lilith caught the attention and alerted the other three Nightmares, they might still have the chance to launch a surprise attack and take down another one.

"I have some matters to attend to for the time being, you go ahead, and I’ll follow up shortly."

However, the Senior Trialist currently acting in the role of the Duchess, [Dream Eater] Lina, suddenly flashed a look and suggested that the others move first while she dealt with some private affairs.

The others looked at her puzzledly, but time waited for no one. Without probing further, they swiftly confirmed their plan of action and quickly headed towards Dark Tidis’s palace.

Watching the others leave, Lina took out a Dream Crystal Ball and skillfully sent a contact request to the other side.

"What happened?"

After a moment, the crystal ball lit up, and a middle-aged man with dark red eyes and a gloomy demeanor appeared in the display, garbed in a lavish, deep gold outfit.

"Your Highness Winter, I have seen the master of this Dream Realm. The Nightmare Spirits have invaded..."

Before the person in the crystal ball, Lina reported the developments within the Dream World with respectful demeanor, simultaneously copying a scene from her memory and transferring it into the crystal ball.

"I understand, you have done well."

Listenting to Lina’s report, Marquis Winter calmly nodded. However, when he saw the figure of the ’Queen’ of the Dream World in the memory scene, his expression suddenly changed.

Fiona Olivendi?! Why would she be here?
