Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 587 - 105 Despair and Madness

After Lilith finished her communication with Marquis Beixi, Anvis’s figure reemerged from the darkness.

He had recognized the other’s identity, but what he hadn’t expected was that Marquis Beixi actually had connections with the King of Nightmare Spirits.

Unlike Earl Draka and Marquis Winter, Marquis Beixi was one of the neutral faction’s marquises,

However, it was clear that although he claimed to be neutral, any Professional who could sit in the position of a marquis had their own ambitions.

At the same time, Lilith’s communication with Marquis Beixi also answered a doubt that had always lingered in Anvis’s mind.

Logically, before the arrival of the strongest Trialist, the King of Nightmare Spirits should not awaken.

However, in the Prophecy, the King of Nightmare Spirits not only awakens suddenly but even shows up in front of Fiona to kill him.

According to the script of fate, before his death, he would return to his original self, which would cause the girl who knew the truth to Burst Seed in sadness, sending the King of Nightmare Spirits back to sleep as the final boss.

Then during the period of the King of Nightmare Spirits’s sleep, the Four Nightmares would come one by one to grant the girl Experience, along with a gift package of Authority Fragments.

If, later on, the girl’s Strength fully develops, she, along with the main team, would go to the sinister Demon King Palace and vanquish the King of Nightmare Spirits in an epic battle as revenge.

Truth be told, if he hadn’t been taken out at the start, Anvis thought this arrangement actually seemed pretty good.

But now there’s nothing to say, he needs to make some preparations in advance, slightly modify the plot, and reverse the timeline of his death.

Clearly, the King of Nightmare Spirits awoke because of Marquis Beixi’s actions. He wasn’t sure how deep their connection was, but it should

be a good thing for Anvis to know in advance that the King of Nightmare Spirits was going to descend.

In Lilith’s memory of the power of the King of Nightmare Spirits, there was an essential difference between them.

This can only mean that the opponent’s strength has probably reached the true Ninth Rank level, not just the Eighth Rank Peak strength + incomplete Authority Power of Inheritance Land like the Four Nightmares.

Facing such a strong foe, if it were any other Dream World, he would stay as far away as possible.

But in this world, the power of the Dream Realm Rule represented by the White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch is sufficient to counterbalance the Rule Power of the King of Nightmare Spirits himself.

Thus, he has the power to fight.

"I’m now going to meet with Despair’s Black Abyss. You are currently unstable in strength, you can leave here first, return to your secret base to recover as much as possible, and come back before the arrival of the King of Nightmare Spirits."

Looking at Lilith of Lust, who was waiting for his further instructions, Anvis thought about it and decided to let her leave this world first and return to her lair to retrieve spare Authority Fragments to recover her power as much as possible.

After all, only the first Authority Fragment is effective; holding repetitive ones is useless, and there are no exchange shops for Nightmare Spirits, so the extra parts can only be stockpiled.

Reserved for cases where one might have to abandon the original body and escape, to be able to quickly regain strength.

Letting Lilith return before the arrival of the King of Nightmare Spirits is to signal the specific movements of the enemy; she, who could communicate with Marquis Beixi, can likely achieve this.

Watching Lilith open the Dream Realm channel and leave, ensuring no other dangers were encountered, Anvis set off to meet with Despair and Madness.

The specific meeting place is located in the northwest part of the Incredible Kingdom, atop a dilapidated valley altar.

Although the story drafted by Anvis only involved the Incredible Country, this Dream World is still quietly growing in places the story had not touched.

When Anvis arrived, Despair’s Black Abyss and Madness of Dibis were already waiting there.

Just as Lilith had said, Black Abyss appeared to be an ordinary human youth, while Dibis was an existence with branches all in dark green, but eerily sprouting an elf’s upper body from its trunk.

However, the latter always kept its eyes closed, looking somewhat peculiar.

"Where is Lilith? How is she?"

Casting a glance at the arriving Anvis, Despair spoke calmly, although his tone was flat, it oddly carried a grim and icy temperament.

He could feel that when Lilith’s presence last vanished, Tidis’s presence seemed to have appeared nearby.

"Lilith? She was attacked by those Trialists, I’m afraid she couldn’t make it this time."

Anvis spoke the truth, since she indeed fell at the hands of those Trialists and had to leave this world temporarily to heal, thus unable to attend this meeting.

"So be it, if Lilith was forced to leave this world, it seems those Trialists have gathered their strong ones."

After giving Anvis a deep look, Black Abyss ultimately said nothing.

Anvis bore no trace of Lilith’s presence, which might mean that he found the weakened Lilith but seeing the unfavorable situation, Lilith escaped early, preventing Anvis from achieving his goal.

This also indirectly proved that Lilith’s injuries were not too severe, at least she still had enough strength to open a world portal and escape from Tidis’s blockade.

"Next, it’s best for us to act together temporarily. The original master of this world should still retain a large portion of world authority,"

Having believed to have clarified the truth of the situation, Black Abyss no longer considered Lilith’s matter, assuming her temporary withdrawal from the contest for this New World.

Then, Black Abyss began planning how to erode this world. Since Lilith was not present, the originally four regions were redrawn into three; the three present each claimed a region, with a non-invasion pact.

Regarding those gathered Trialists, Black Abyss suggested that their true bodies temporarily cluster together, only dispatching avatars to spread the nightmares they symbolize.

Entering a new Dream World, the biggest benefit for Nightmare Spirits is the ability to let their essence contaminate more original Dream existences.

And these contaminated existences, once transformed, will in turn provide strength to the Nightmare Spirits, akin to a Divine being developing Believers.

Currently, this strength enhancement is effective only in this world. But once the Inheritance Land swallows this world, this power boost will be recognized by the rules of Inheritance Land, becoming permanent.

"So, we just need to..."

"I can see you, you have become different again."

But as Black Abyss was speaking, Madness of Dibis suddenly opened its eyes—pure dark green eyes—looking at Anvis with a face portraying a serene demeanor akin to that of a Sage.

Anvis was stunned for a moment, his face blank as he looked towards Dibis, but he had already raised his guard internally.

"Here we go again..."

His speech interrupted midway, Black Abyss wasn’t annoyed, but merely sighed.

He had grown accustomed to it; none of his companions were normal.
