Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 590 - 108 Rule Exclusion

Noticing Fiona’s reaction, Anvis sighed softly.

In fact, Anvis was aware that for the girl to endure her fear and face the King of Nightmare Spirits, whose power far surpassed her own, was already an impressive display.

The power to spread fear that emanated from the King of Nightmare Spirits originated from its own passive ability, which couldn’t be overcome by sheer will alone.

And Anvis was not afraid of the King of Nightmare Spirits, for he had encountered too many mighty and strange beings among which there were those even stronger than the King of Nightmare Spirits.

Fear originates from the unknown.

He had confronted a Councilman whose power was between the Ninth Rank Limit and the Legendary Rank, peeked at the indescribable massive blood-red eye in Sky City, and also faced in his memory that humanoid luminosity like the sun itself.

After witnessing those pinnacle existences, the passive fear field of the King of Nightmare Spirits naturally couldn’t arouse fear in Anvis’s heart.

However, Fiona, who had lived in Moon Castle and Family Secret Realm for a long time, did not have such insights as Anvis did.

The strongest being she had ever faced was actually Duke Carrot. And even in practical combat classes, the Duke considered her Tier and never fully displayed his own imposing pressure.

However, everything has two sides; if the girl could find a way to defeat the King of Nightmare Spirits, then she would naturally overcome such fear, greatly strengthen her own will, and develop a resistance to similar situations.

This opportunity to face her own fears was extremely rare, especially when victory was not entirely out of reach.

Elsewhere in the Incredible Country, the appearance of the King of Nightmare Spirits triggered a chain reaction.

The cities inhabited by the small animal residents were enveloped by a Protection Shield, and the impact was minimal for the time being, but the regions outside without the Rule’s protection had already started to rapidly transform into a world of nightmares.

Darkness had become the dominant color of the environment, with various bizarre phenomena emerging from the pitch-black fog.

Within the region of nightmares, the Low Rank Nightmare Spirits began to revel, dancing wildly in the dark fog of nightmares, their frenzied movements chilling to the bone.

Meanwhile, far from the area where the King of Nightmare Spirits resided, the Four Nightmares had arrived at some point, but they kept a relatively dispersed stance as though cautiously wary of each other.

However, for reasons unknown, the positions of Darkness, Lust, and Despair seemed to subtly encircle Madness of Desius.

The arrival of the Four Nightmares caused the girl’s pressure to surge once again, and the Protective Shield that enveloped the entire Incredible Country also seemed unable to withstand the pressure, starting to contract inward continuously.

Seeing this situation, many Trialists hidden within the Incredible Country began to panic.

"What should we do? Should we evacuate this world right now?"

A Trialist who looked like a hunting dog but was dressed in a smart Noble’s suit was the first to speak, trying to gauge the reactions of the others.

Although the city’s Protection Shield was gradually shrinking, there was still a lot of time before it reached them, plenty enough for them to discuss and reach a conclusion.

"Feel free to leave if you want, Mr. Dream Ferryman. No one here is stopping you. The lesson here is: hunters shoot down the birds that take the lead in flight."

Duchess Lina revealed a sarcastic smile, made a ’please’ gesture with her hand, and habitually issued a lesson from it.

However, the so-called Dream Ferryman, the dog Noble, only showed a smile, perfectly demonstrating what was described as ’a dog trying to act like a human’.

All the Trialists present knew very well that if they were to leave alone, they would only attract the attention of the King of Nightmare Spirits outside, and that meant certain death with no chance of survival.

But resistance was futile; their combined strength was barely enough to hold off the Four Nightmares, not to mention the King of Nightmare Spirits, who was even more powerful.

The main reason most Trialists stayed here instead of fleeing was that they needed a decoy. A decoy that could attract the King of Nightmare Spirits’ attention, allowing them to escape easily.

And Lina, who had taken the place of the ’Duchess’, had her own scheme. Marquis Winter had already descended into this world, but he did not force his way in because he did not want to attract the attention of the city’s Protection Shield.

At the moment, he was lurking outside the city, waiting for the moment when Nightmare Spirits break through the city’s defenses to seize the opportunity to take Fiona away amidst the chaos.

Under the watchful eyes of those with diverse intentions, the King of Nightmare Spirits was the first to make a move.

From the labyrinthine paths, a dense black fog began to roll toward the city, carrying with it nearly tangible rules of Fear that intensely contested with the silver Protection Shield.

Unlike Low Rank Professionals, Ninth Rank combat had no probing phase, or rather, every single strike of theirs could easily switch between probing and delivering a deathblow.

If the Shield could hold out for a long time without being corroded by the Nightmare fog, then it would mean that they had held off the King of Nightmare Spirits’ probe.

If it could not hold out, then the entire city would be swiftly corroded, and the authority in Fiona’s hands would fade instantly, leading to ruin.

Anvis watched the struggling girl with some concern, simultaneously vigilant against other external threats to avoid accidents.

It is not yet time for the Three Nightmares to betray their allegiance. Even though he had control over three of the Four Nightmares, facing the King of Nightmare Spirits directly, Anvis could feel that under normal circumstances, even if all three joined forces, it would be sheer futility.

Moreover, not all of the Trialists’ camps could be considered allies; there was no guarantee that someone wouldn’t attempt to strike at Fiona before fleeing.

"Do not fear, Your Majesty the Queen, you are always the supreme ruler of this Dream Realm. As long as your conviction is strong enough, even the most terrifying Nightmare will recede!

’Encourage’, ’Mechanized Mind’, ’Steel Will’, ’Diman’s Motivation Technique’..."

After some thought, Anvis tried to inspire courage in the girl through both spoken words and magic, to see if he could spur her to a counterattack.

The effect was not entirely nonexistent; at the very least, the colorful halos around her provided Fiona with some psychological comfort and cool special effects.

Because he lacked the power of rules, his pure Spell could not counteract the Fear rules of the Ninth Rank King of Nightmare Spirits, and the Pocket Watch’s ability to turn back time was unable to affect Fiona who had higher authority.

Had those Trialists not yet taken action?

After sensing the movements and discussions among the many Trialists within the city, Anvis shook his head.

Those who act with hesitation, not even daring to make a move—how could they possibly hope to obtain the ultimate inheritance?

Meanwhile, he finally seized the opportunity and initiated his arrangement.

Outside the Incredible Kingdom, underneath mountains and forests transformed into the Land of Nightmare, suddenly a tremendous Magic Array lit up.

It was a conceptual Magic Array formed purely by the power of the world’s rules, complex enough to give even a Ninth Rank King of Nightmare Spirits a hard time trying to clear it.

At the same time, as these Magic Arrays surfaced, the world’s rules, once tepid in their rejection, suddenly erupted like an infuriated bull!

This rejection from the rules was not only coming from the world of Fiona’s Dreamland, but even the Inheritance Land, which had assimilated and devoured this world, began to expel the multitude of Nightmare Spirits!
