Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 603 - 121: Reap What You Sow

Watching the scene before him, Marquis Winter deeply furrowed his brow.

He had witnessed similar scenes before, usually occurring under special conditions where a soul’s obsessive persistence, relying on some medium, was fulfilled and then dissipated automatically.

Although he was not clear about the exact relationship between that rabbit and Anvis, seeing Fiona’s distraught appearance, and the completely shattered short sword under the ’reaction force’, Marquis Winter couldn’t help but think of the worst.

He feared that, without sufficient preparation, he had personally killed Anvis, the fourth direct descendant of the current Duke Karlars! Only this could explain the shattering of the short sword—it was likely that he had breached the opponent’s numerous life-preserving tricks. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Is this the unpredictability of fate?

With a cold snicker in his heart, Marquis Winter was aware that he might be in trouble now.

The Four Great Families offer extraordinary protection to their direct descendants, and after inadvertently killing Anvis, the Olivendi Family was probably already aware and beginning to search for the murderer.

The Deep Dream World could block it temporarily, but over time, this world would inevitably be exposed under the gaze of Prophets, and he needed to clean up this matter quickly.

Luckily, he had come here under a hidden identity to capture Fiona, which now coincidentally served to shield against some detections by Prophecy Magic.

Without hesitation, he gathered the fragments of the broken short sword, then suddenly manipulated the power of the rules, sweeping towards the dazed Fiona. He planned to quickly subdue the girl unawares and then return immediately to his secret laboratory.

However, to Marquis Winter’s disappointment, just when his rule power was about to hit its target, the girl’s figure suddenly moved, and the invisible rule power blocked his attack.

"Unfortunately, my patience is now completely exhausted!"

A cold light flashed in his crimson eyes as Marquis Winter increased his effort, intending to immediately settle the situation. With the Ninth Rank from the Olivendi Family possibly arriving at any time, he felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

But unexpectedly to Marquis Winter, Fiona did not fall from his attack but erupted completely instead.

A profound and terrifying aura of power surged from the small body of the girl, forcing even Marquis Winter to regard her cautiously.

Unlike the previous power purely from the world’s rules, this was something deeper originating from deep within the girl’s bloodline.

Within the surging rule powers, suddenly icy blue frigid winds and blazing white radiance appeared, blocking all of Marquis Winter’s attacks.

"...You, are unforgivable!"

A solitary white rabbit foot was held in the girl’s hand, her body slightly shaking, her lake-blue eyes seemingly about to emit flames, glaring hatefully at Marquis Winter in the sky through the fiercely colliding rule powers.

At the same time, within the depths of the girl’s lake-blue eyes, Marquis Winter seemed to see two blurred giant bird apparitions. One as clear as ice, the other entirely composed of blazing white light.

"Could this be the hidden secret about the [Star] of the Olivendi Family?!"

With a grave expression sensing Fiona’s eerie state, Marquis Winter’s heart finally sank.

He had seen the Bloodline True Forms of the Ninth Rank from both the Olivendi Family and the Alfred Family, but even they could not, just through their aura, bring him this sense of oppression on a life level.

Now, he was facing an unbelievable fact: even without any support from the Ninth Rank of the Olivendi Family, the upcoming battle with Fiona would be a real tough fight!

.........

Far outside the world, in the midst of shifting between various Dream Worlds, the King of Nightmare Spirits suddenly stopped.

Upon its body, a thick book of dark green color opened by itself, its pages emitting light, and a figure reappeared within the light.

Catching the Ancient Secret Scripture falling from the sky, Anvis glanced at it and noticed that the originally sealed page containing his avatars now had a long gash on the yellowed page surface, as if accidentally nicked by a small knife.

According to Anvis’s sensing, that page could no longer be used at the moment.

However, the page itself was slowly wriggling and healing; he believed that after some time, this page could recover its normal function.

"Oh, gods! Look at this terrible scar, life is indeed not easy—"

With insincere amazement at the power of the short sword, Anvis condensed a new avatar and stored it in another page, resetting his life-saving skills.

Clearly, the Ancient Secret Scripture had shielded him from the terrifying attack that traced back from the avatar, with the cost being the temporary damage of a page.

Yes, since sensing the enemy’s attack, Anvis had already switched his real body with the avatar.

In the face of the fate that always seemed to demand his sacrifice, he truly dared not expose his true self carelessly, afraid that showing his face would lead to an inexplicable death.

After all, whether it was the avatar or his true body, there was almost no difference in the face of the Ninth Rank; it would be over in an instant.

The scene of the dissipating soul at the end was the result of Anvis consulting the prophecy, a post-spell special effect he added himself.

Although he couldn’t see the final effect, Anvis thought it should be good, as he had gained nearly a thousand points of fate feedback.

But after checking himself again, Anvis suddenly realized that his identity as the White Rabbit [Trialist] in the Inheritance Land had been thoroughly erased by some power.

Simply put, Marquis Winter’s attack had directly destroyed his identity card from the root, and even if he tried to get another one, it wouldn’t be the White Rabbit anymore.

Having clarified this point, Anvis sighed again, guessing Fiona would be very sad about this, and also the White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch was actually quite fun to use.

After thinking it over, he still headed towards Fiona’s Dreamland; after Fiona’s Burst Seed, he might find an opportunity to kick someone when they are down.

Task complete, it’s time to receive the ’reward’!

.........

Watching the terrifying battle change the clouds in the distant horizon, Duchess Lina felt somewhat alarmed.

Before the battle started, she had already left the city from afar.

Although not quite clear why Marquis Winter wanted to attack the Dream Queen, from the look of the battle, it seemed that both parties were equally matched.

Finally, the astonishing fluctuations of the battle in the distance quieted down.

With a somewhat mixed feeling of hope and fear, she concealed her form and sneaked back to see the outcome of the battle.

If Marquis Winter had won, then no need to say more. But if the Dream Queen had won, she could only pray that the other party did not know it was she who had led Marquis Winter there.

But what sank her heart was the sight of a lone little girl standing amidst the city turned into a silver-white wasteland, holding a white fluffy object.

A blurred platinum giant bird shadow enveloped her entire body, and her lake-blue eyes seemed to solidify with eternal unmelting ice. Despite her silence and stillness, her figure seemed as if it belonged to a mythical creature from ancient legends, majestic and inviolable.

Sensing something, the girl glanced at the hidden figure of Lina, and the sadness and coldness that penetrated from her eyes made Lina involuntarily shudder.

"It’s you..."

Seemingly remembering her identity, Fiona looked at the rabbit’s foot in her hand one last time, her heart almost unbearably filled with sorrow.

If only she had valued Anvis more, if only she had awakened her own powers earlier...

"You must have other similar companions, right? Notify all of them, I’m going to thoroughly cleanse this world."

Now, all she could do was to continue carrying out the task Anvis had left her before his death.

"I want all those who have invaded this world... to pay the price!!"

.........

As Fiona’s command was given, outside the world, Anvis, who was eagerly on his way, suddenly felt a chill through his body.

Something seems off, is something targeting me?
