Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 374 - One Hundred Forty-Nine: Influence
At this moment, when Anvis reconnected with his avatar and saw his original body through the avatar’s eyes for an instant, he was suddenly taken aback.
From his original body, he instinctively felt a faint affinity, as if he were a long-lost kin, stirring an instinctive goodwill.
The next moment, Anvis sharply returned to his senses, his heart involuntarily shuddering with alarm.
The original body, after its physical qualia transformation and Bloodline Awakening, seemed to have developed an incredibly terrifying Extraordinary Charm, so much so that even he, after his recent breakthrough, was unconsciously influenced in his will!
This was not a common phenomenon among Professionals who underwent physical qualia transformation; other Special War Profession Professionals who had broken through had not shown such an abnormal increase in charm.
And although Bloodline Awakening did enhance charm, it was far from reaching the terrifying extent of enhancement now present.
One must know that, due to his unique circumstances, even though he had just broken through the Seventh Rank, his current real strength had already reached near the limit of Seventh Rank.
Anvis suspected that this special enhancement was only obtained by Professionals whose spirit and body had both transformed completely during their breakthrough of the Seventh Rank.
The dual sublimation of spirit and body brought him an effect far greater than the sum of the two.
The sublimation of the spirit drove the transformation of the body, and the transformation of the body, in turn, drove his spirit to undergo further changes.
According to the balance theory of the Magic World, a strong spirit must have an equally strong body to contain it.
If the body is relatively weaker than the spirit, it will cause the spirit to oppress the body, preventing the Professional from improving in strength until the strength of their body is enhanced.
"Pomiya, was there anything unusual when I was breaking through?"
After retracting his avatar, Anvis stepped out of the previously sealed secret room door and headed toward the testing ground, casually speaking to the newly appointed Tower Spirit Pomiya.
Upon his return to the academy, he had immediately updated his Magic Laboratory configuration. He copied all the records from the original experimental Mechanical Spirit Silver into Pomiya, and then set Pomiya as the new Tower Spirit of the laboratory.
Although it was somewhat akin to using a supercomputer to play Minesweeper, it was certainly better than leaving it to collect dust in a ring.
"Everything is normal, Controller," Pomiya replied.
As Pomiya’s voice echoed, the special testing ground doors opened before him.
Entering the spacious metal hall, Anvis casually dematerialized his coat, stepping into the center of the large Defensive Magic Array on the floor.
Just after his complete breakthrough to Seventh Rank, a peculiar impulse suddenly arose in his heart.
So narrow... so tight...
This body, as if shackles binding tightly...
Wanting to break free... wanting to escape the constraints of this minuscule body, to regain true freedom!
While in the breakthrough room, he had always been suppressing his innate desires, but here, he finally released the impulses in his heart.
Screech—
Accompanied by a piercingly vivid imaginary bird cry, Anvis’s body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into a mass of pale golden radiant brilliance.
In an instant, this sphere of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant bird with a wingspan of hundreds of meters, composed of pale golden light.
The giant bird, made of a material similar to the Light Element, emitted suppressed spiritual power fluctuations from its body surface.
Interestingly, the appearance of this giant bird was strikingly similar to the Frost Crystal Bird.
This was the final Secret Skill after Bloodline Awakening—[Bloodline True Form]
By channeling the power of their own bloodline, Magicians can temporarily borrow part of the power from the source of their bloodline, activating a Bloodline True Form that greatly surpasses their normal strength.
In this form, Spellcasters can even temporarily achieve strength beyond their limits.
Gently flapping its massive wings, Anvis felt the ease brought by the true form and the additional enhancement to his own abilities.
Unlike Duke Carrot, Anvis’s Crystal Bird True Form was golden with an additional attribute of the Light Element.
As the giant bird flapped its wings lightly, a huge radiance formed in front of Anvis and then shot towards the Black Shining Crystal Tablet used for testing damage.
The dark black Crystal Tablet lit up instantly, and the Magic Pillar inside representing the power of the spell rapidly ascended, turning a deep purple color and even showing a trend towards white!
This result indicated that the power of this attack was incredibly close to that of an Eighth Rank spell!
Then, aiming at the direction of the Crystal Tablet, the platinum-colored giant bird’s wings flashed once, and its huge body suddenly accelerated, crashing directly into the Crystal Tablet!
Boom!
The entire Black Shining Crystal Tablet shook violently, the power of this impact was even higher than the last one, turning the light pillar directly white.
Although it appears to be an elemental creature, the[Bloodline True Form]is in fact the true body of the Spellcaster.
The simultaneous ascension of spirit and body resulted in a Bloodline True Form much stronger than originally anticipated.
.........
Meanwhile, more than half a month had passed during the process of Anvis’s previous promotion.
In this half a month, the results of exploration in the remaining ruins of the Floating City were fully revealed to the public, including ordinary Professionals and Players.
The Sky City had completely fallen, most of the Ninth Rank were forever left behind, the Eternal Core exploded and disappeared, and the secret of Super Ninth Rank vanished without a trace.
According to the explorations of the Ninth Rank who subsequently entered the fallen Floating City, there was absolutely nothing of value left in the ruins.
As a few who explored the wreckage put it, the interior of the fallen Floating City was ’as clean as if it had been explored by a hundred foreigners.’
The so-called secrets surpassing the Ninth Rank also remained unclear to anyone what they specifically referred to.
And the only clue to this seems to be the mysterious cloaked figure who orchestrated everything and escaped before detonating the Eternal Core.
In the eyes of some interested parties, although this result isn’t great, it’s certainly not the worst.
Nevertheless, as long as neither the Empire Family nor the Four Great Families have gotten hold of this secret, that itself is the best news.
At the same time, many had noticed the great wave of tens of thousands of transmission ripples that erupted before the Floating City fell.
Many speculate that these tens of thousands of transmission ripples likely transported various important materials within the Floating City.
The resources of an entire Floating City, relying on individual’s Space Items, would not be enough to take them all, only teleportation could transport them as much as possible.
But at that time, due to the presence of the Themis Statue, no one dared to attempt to lock down the teleportation landing beforehand.
Since it was clearly random teleportation, these materials could now possibly be anywhere on the continent.
Following the discovery of treasures randomly transported by the Floating City by a few lucky individuals exploring the wilderness, a treasure-hunting frenzy suddenly swept across the civilians of Yar Continent.
Both native Adventurers and Players began fervently searching for the treasures transported from the Floating City.
