Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 591 - 109 Emotions and Detection

This is Anvis’s scheme, as the influence of the Inheritance Land’s consumption is bidirectional. The merging process of the two worlds is not as simple as the hunt of a beast, not just a matter of who consumes whom, but rather an interference and fusion between them.

Once the consuming progress of the Inheritance Land exceeded seventy percent, the Array he had set up beforehand began to connect not just to the rules of this world.

The effect of the Array was also simple, highlighting all extraneous beings that have invaded the world.

If before, the invasion of the Nightmare Spirits was akin to a human body being infected by a cold virus, with the world’s rules functioning instinctively like an immune system to gradually eliminate the virus.

Now, the Nightmare Spirits were like arrows directly thrust into the human body, with the whole body straining to immediately pull them out, especially the King of Nightmare Spirits, akin to a massive crossbow bolt.

Hence, visible to the naked eye, the countless delicate dream-like lightning that previously swirled around the Nightmare Spirits, now surged in strength many times over, transforming from spider webs into chains.

Caught completely off-guard by this turn of events, Marquis Beixi suffered a heavy blow, and even though he urgently mobilized some of the rule powers of his true self for defense, his aura visibly weakened substantially.

The other Nightmare Spirits also faced significant suppression at this moment, but because their strength was not powerful, the rejection by the world’s rules was much weaker, and the attacks they suffered weren’t as terrifying as those against the King of Nightmare Spirits.

In the distant city, as the strongest beings aside from the King of Nightmare Spirits, the Four Nightmares also faced immense pressure from the rules, each experiencing their auras drop to various extents.

Witnessing this sudden change, the trialists in the city who had initially planned to flee looked at each other in disbelief.

Although they were unclear about how the Manager of this Dream Realm made it happen, the current situation was that all Nightmare Spirits were struggling against the repulsion of the world’s rules, their strength suppressed by more than an entire Rank.

But when they recovered from their initial shock, everyone saw a gleam of fervor in the eyes of the fellow trialists around them.

This perfect opportunity to kick someone when they’re down was not something that came around often.

The gap in strength had been reversed; they could easily deal with the Four Nightmares in such a state, and even had the chance to collaborate with the Queen of this Dream Realm and attempt to hunt the King of Nightmare Spirits!

The longest-lived trialists among them knew that the strength of the King of Nightmare Spirits had actually reached another Level, one that was powerful enough to beat down the Four Nightmares, not to mention them.

But if they were to inherit power and return to the Yar Continent, the King of Nightmare Spirits was the opponent they were destined to confront.

So, why not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave the adversary here forever, or at least severely injure it before thinking of ways to pursue and kill it.

Duchess Lina, however, had even more on her mind. Marquis Winter, currently hidden outside the city, could make a move at a critical moment, highly likely causing the downfall of the King of Nightmare Spirits.

If she could get the help of Marquis Winter, she stood a great chance of acquiring most of the ’loot’ dropped by the King of Nightmare Spirits, thereby leaping to become the most powerful trialist, without competitors.

Returning the focus to the Imperial Palace, after activating the Rule Array, Anvis quietly stayed by Fiona’s side, silently sensing the changes around the entire Incredible Kingdom.

He had previously discovered that with the influence of these Arrays, he seemed to temporarily acquire a God-like perspective and a special perception ability, allowing him to ’see’ things previously imperceptible.

Anvis saw the slowly fading [Fear] and rising [Curiosity] within Fiona, the [War Intent] within the little cat Kate and Feiya.

The surging [Greed] among the trialists, the [Panic] of the small creature residents, and outside the city, the [Confusion] and [Anger] among the myriad Nightmare Spirits...

Tsk, is there really someone who can harbor [Lust] towards the true form of non-humanoid Nightmare Spirits?!

Anvis’s eyes skimmed past that trialist; while sexual preference is a personal freedom, this was just too strange.

After making an attempt to touch the girl, which drew a puzzled look from her, Anvis realized that he currently seemed only able to observe, unable to influence these emotions.

However, as he watched, his gaze was drawn to an area outside the city.

There, what should have been a vibrant plain, had now transformed into a purple-black poisonous swamp.

In Anvis’s view, that place was completely devoid of life, but inexplicably emanated a subtle aura of [Surprise]. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He tried releasing the Secret Technique Eye to spy on that area from the sky, but still found nothing.

This was truly terrifying; if his perception was not faulty, then the only explanation was that some unknown powerful entity was concealed there.

After pondering, Anvis’s gaze shifted toward a few players nearby who were currently huddled together discussing something.

At the moment, many of the native trialists couldn’t resist the opportunity to leave the city and hunt nightmare spirits, making these four players somewhat tempted as well.

"Those trialists suddenly left the city, maybe they’ve found some good fortune to scoop up. Should we follow them?"

In the Imperial Palace of the Incredible Country, the parrot Kuang Baoshu took a glance.

"We can, but since we’re weaker, we need to be more careful when we act."

The frog teacher nodded and cast a sidelong glance at the parrot.

"Besides, you guys go ahead, I’m going to wait here. I always feel that the rabbit’s task we received earlier isn’t that simple, there might be some hidden developments."

Listening to their discussion, Anvis silently smiled. What a useful bunch of tool-players, even thinking up the reasons for their tasks for him.

"Oh, so you’re here? Have you rested enough? There’s a task now that needs your attention."

With these words, he walked up to the group of players, looking at the Duck Breaking Swan’s Neck and the Mouse, completely ’ignoring’ the other two players.

"You are ’foreigners,’ right? See this location outside the city? There’s an invisible being hiding there.

Go there, and with your special detection abilities as foreigners, scan the area. Find that being and then come back to report the results to me."

Amidst the puzzled looks of the players, Anvis spoke the surprising request.

"Your Excellency White Rabbit, we..."

The Duck opened its mouth, unsure of how to explain.

"No need to explain anything. I’ve heard the stories of foreigners. And I am always generous to obedient house servants. As long as the results of your investigation satisfy me, this Magic Tide Staff will be your reward!"

But before the players could say anything, Anvis produced a splendid magic wand embedded with pure white crystal stones, whose panel information indicated it was level sixty purple quality equipment.

At the same time, the two players who had become Anvis’s subordinates, saw a new task prompt on their panels.

[System Prompt: You have triggered a D-level task ’Investigate the Situation’]

[Task Introduction: White Rabbit needs you to investigate a location outside the city.

Note: The difficulty and rewards of the task will change accordingly based on the different choices made by the players during this task, please choose carefully.]

"Your will, Excellency White Rabbit!"

Seeing the task reward, the players immediately changed their tone.

A piece of level sixty purple equipment, which is the most important weapon, is worth even risking a life for! Moreover, this task doesn’t even have a suggested minimum challenge level, indicating a high probability of returning alive!

Thus, the two players set out quickly, arriving at the area where Anvis had detected an anomaly.

And there, precisely, was where Marquis Winter was hidden.

Although the changes outside were somewhat surprising to him, he was still patiently waiting. He could feel that, although the King of Nightmare Spirits seemed to have been severely injured, it was still not something the city’s protection shield could withstand.

But at that moment, a small incident suddenly appeared nearby, attracting his attention.

"What’s this?"

Looking at the two clueless ducks and mice wandering around as if searching for something, Marquis Winter was a bit puzzled.

But the next moment, he suddenly felt a strange detection ripple flash across his body!
