Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 367 - 142 Heaven Falls (Part 1)

At this moment, in the Dream World, the Magic Council’s Ninth Rank, who were advancing the fastest, had already arrived at the exterior of the Core Energy Room. However, they also discovered an anomaly in the Energy Room.

"Wait... something’s not right, don’t open the door yet!"

Just before the Energy Room’s door was about to be opened, the Mystic Seeker Orvani suddenly raised his hand, cautiously halting the movements of all the team members.

"Do you have any findings, Councilman Orvani?"

Startled by Orvani’s sudden warning, the actions of the three other Ninth Rank Mages from the council around him came to a complete stop.

One of the female Spellcasters sensed something, her Magic Robe fluttered slightly, and she voiced the group’s uncertainty.

Although from the outside, it seemed that the council side had brought the most Ninth Ranks, the actual number of those truly belonging to the Magic Council was still less than ten, with the vast majority being independent Ninth Ranks from various kingdoms of the Yiter Federation.

It was only because Orvani, one of the three great Councilmen of the Magic Council, was present that the council’s people temporarily took the lead.

"According to confidential information, this should be the location of the Core Energy Room, but I sense a tremendously dangerous entity within."

Orvani’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as his silver-white eyes scanned the dark metallic door, hesitating uncertainly.

"Before we set off, Councilman Brents had made a prophecy specifically for me, ’This journey will present a great danger’, and now, it seems likely that it’s nearby the core."

"Councilman, what should we do now?"

After listening to Orvani’s explanation, another Spellcaster asked.

"We..."

Creak, creak—

But just as Orvani began to speak, the thick door beside him suddenly trembled and then slowly opened on its own.

The moment the door opened, a chilling sense of crisis immediately pervaded through the bodies of the Mages.

"Not good!"

Without hesitating to consider why the door opened on its own, the four Mages immediately retreated, trying their best to conceal their presence and keep their distance from the door.

At this moment, a team from the Holy Radiance Church led by Archbishop Holy Judgment Yogesen arrived from another corridor and also noticed the slowly opening door and the retreating council team.

"We meet again, gentlemen—why run?"

Not paying immediate attention to the door, Yogesen raised his hand, and several holy white ethereal chains made purely of Rule Inscriptions appeared out of thin air, shooting swiftly towards the four, attempting to detain them.

Facing Yogesen’s attack, aside from Orvani, the other three Mages could only each mobilize Rule Power to defend themselves, but their speed inevitably slowed down.

"Damn it! Yogesen! Stop! Haven’t you felt what’s inside the door?!"

Orvani, annoyed, turned back and waved his hand, a gust of invisible magic wind brushed past, instantly dissolving the chains from their roots.

"Oh? This feeling..."

With an indifferent expression, Yogesen lowered his raised hand and shifted his focus to the door, slightly sensing and then his gaze also became grave.

"Is it an outsider, an ancient dark entity that has awakened in a corner not yet illuminated by divine glory?"

A pure white Divine Punishment Crystal Stone appeared once more in his hand. Meanwhile, several Ninth Rank clergy from his team slightly spread out, forming a simple Guardian Formation.

At the same time, the metallic door of the Energy Room was now almost half open.

The room was completely dark inside, nothing could be seen. Instead, a terribly ominous black dream-like essence, like viscous oil, continuously flowed out from the open door and along the corridor.

In response to this unidentified black essence, both sides remained highly vigilant, several Ninth Ranks tried to use Rule Power to eradicate it, but the effect was underwhelming, nearly three parts of Rule Power was needed to counter one part of the black essence.

At the moment when both parties were in a temporary standoff, another team from the Federation’s Ninth Rank and a team from the Empire finally arrived at the location.

Before they could react, a shadowy projection clad in a dark cloak, its face obscured by a hood, suddenly appeared before the eyes of the many Ninth Ranks.

"Hmm?!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned by the appearance of the figure, and then quickly realized that this was probably the mysterious person controlling the city mentioned in the intelligence reports.

Not only were the numerous Ninth Ranks exploring the city taken aback, but in the skies outside the entire Floating City, suddenly several enormous projections from within the Floating City appeared, showcasing various Ninth Rank teams exploring the relics.

The current exploration status of the major forces’ Ninth Ranks was clearly displayed in front of the outsiders.

"Look! That seems to be a scene from within the city!"

Seeing this scene, many Ninth Ranks observing from afar were surprised and immediately contacted their respective forces.

Very quickly, almost all major forces were informed of this incident in the Floating City.

"Who exactly are you?"

Inside the city, while cautiously watching the darkness behind the gate, Baggsen stared coldly at the projection in front of him, his tone as icy as if he was interrogating a heretic.

At the same time, several Ninth Rank Mages began casting spells, trying to trace the real location of the entity behind the projection.

However, with the entire Floating City’s Magic System as a defense, this tracing did not succeed.

"Me?"

Within the projection, Anvis’s hood was slightly lowered, and he silently smiled.

"Have any of you heard of the civil resistance organization from Gloria known as ’Starfire’?"

"You are from the Starfire Organization?!"

Upon hearing this, a Ninth Rank from the Aslade Family was somewhat surprised.

Suddenly hearing the name of the resistance organization that had been causing trouble in his home province but which he had previously ignored, he was taken aback and began to reassess the threat of this organization.

"Even if you intend to deceive us, there should be a limit."

Silently staring at Anvis’s image, Orvani shook his head after a moment, his tone very certain.

"Indeed, as Mr. Orvani just mentioned, I am not a member of the ’Starfire’ organization."

Within the projection, Anvis nodded slightly, openly admitting this point.

"However, the focal point of my earlier words was not ’Starfire,’ but rather the Gloria Civil Resistance Organizations."

Under the watchful eyes of many Ninth Rank powerhouses and forces inside and outside the Floating City, Anvis gracefully bowed, his tone suddenly rising.

"Today, here, I am honored to introduce a new resistance organization, ’Truth Circle’. As the organization’s debut ceremony, I will give you all a grand gift."

Sensing the slight ripples produced by the Net of Destiny, Anvis’s will delved deep into the scepter, connecting with a green spot outside the city that had been dormant under the sea until now.

Then, under the astonished gaze of many Ninth Ranks, an unusual tremor occurred on the sea surface near the city.

A deep shadow swiftly emerged from the water. In the next moment, an enormous cyan and gold metal arm, covered with varied seaweed and shellfish, suddenly stretched out from the sea surface!

Accompanied by a thunderous noise like thunder tearing through the sky, a gigantic metal colossus ripped through the sea surface and returned to the sky.

The clouds parted on either side of it, and silver and purple moonlight shone on its surface, casting moving glows. The oppressive and terrifying Magic Fluctuation forced the Ninth Ranks maintaining the spatial blockade in the distance to visibly change their expressions.

This moment marked the first display of a forbidden weapon from the Ancient Golden Age to this brand-new era.
