Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 312 - 87 Power Dragon Split Body

"Moreover, regarding the Dark Beast Tide, the family has enough strength to fully guard the Karlars Province without any problems. You don’t need to worry, just stay at Pamir Academy with Fiona peacefully."

While speaking, Duke casually mentioned the recent Beast Tide, very confidently as if he wasn’t concerned at all.

"I understand, Father."

Listenting to Duke’s casual remarks, Anvis nodded.

Indeed, he was well aware of how difficult resisting this Beast Tide would be.

The massive scale of the Beast Tide meant the presence of many Ninth Rank and Ninth Rank Limit dark creatures leading it.

Although the Olivendi Prophet had already prophesied the emergence of the Beast Tide, predicting it didn’t mean it could be easily blocked.

Duke only mentioned this to reassure him, to prevent unnecessary wild thoughts.

Hum—

Suddenly, a pitch-black Dark Attribute energy ray fiercely penetrated the room from the Crystal Ball and was automatically erased by Duke’s Defensive Field.

"..."

Anvis and Duke stared at each other, falling silent for a moment.

After the room was hit by an energy ray, a hole opened up in the wall, and through it, they could vaguely see a large crowd of dark creatures outside, along with faint sounds of intense combat.

"...There might be a little trouble, but it’s not a big problem!"

After a moment of silence, feeling a bit embarrassed, Duke forcibly changed the subject.

"Right, your Power Dragon has been taken care of, someone will personally deliver it to you soon, you can start preparing your ceremony ahead of time—

Alright, I also have matters to handle, let’s leave it at that for now!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Anvis to say anything more, Duke directly closed the Crystal Ball, seemingly off to confront the source of that ray.

Staring at the now restored crystal clear Crystal Ball, Anvis fell into deep thought.

Duke Carrot was currently near the ruins; if even his residence could be affected by the aftermath of the Beast Tide’s attacks, it indicated that the advancement speed of the Beast Tide was actually faster than he initially estimated.

He was aware that the target of the several dark creature leaders in this Beast Tide was something inside those relic halves that was calling them.

But clearly, the Ninth Rank Professionals from various empires seemed disinclined to let them pass.

.........

The next morning, a special Space Ring containing the dragon was delivered to his hands.

After a brief check with his spiritual power, Anvis took the ring and entered the sealed room in the depths of the underground laboratory, which he had specially prepared for the Soul Splitting Ceremony.

During the New Year Festival, Pamir Academy had a fifteen-day holiday, which provided him ample time to conduct the ceremony.

Walking to the center of the room, Anvis activated the ring with his mind, releasing the Power Dragon onto the massive ritual Array that occupied most of the floor.

Although it was placed on the ground, it still lay with eyes tightly closed, immobile, as if it were in a deep slumber.

Although it was only in its juvenile phase, the Power Dragon already had a body length of nearly ten meters; up close, one could see countless diamond-like shiny scales on its body.

The scales of a Power Dragon are somewhat smaller than those of most colorful dragons, but they are harder and naturally embody field defenses.

Anvis tried using the Secret Silver Engraving Knife with force, and initially felt a strong rebounding resistance before feeling the hardness of the blade cutting through the scale.

Since he did not use Magic Power, the blade of the Secret Silver Engraving Knife was ineffective against the sturdy Dragon Scale and returned nothing.

After a simple test of its hardness, Anvis channeled Magic Power into the engraving knife and stabbed forcefully into the weaker part of the scale’s seam.

Puchi—

Supported by Magic Power, the tip of the knife instantly pierced through the Dragon Scale and penetrated the thick Dragon Skin.

As the blade’s Magic Power surged, making the wound larger and deeper, a stream of dark red Dragon Blood, glowing with intense magical fluorescence, finally flowed from the wound caused by the knife.

The downed Power Dragon showed no reaction; although it could feel pain, the small wound was insignificant compared to its vast body, much like a human being pricked by a sewing needle.

He carefully collected the falling Dragon Blood with a crystal container, gathering about the size of a basketball cup, and then pulled the knife out from the wound.

With the removal of the foreign object stimulating it, a large gush of blood sprayed from the wound but then quickly stopped bleeding. The surrounding muscles naturally contracted to seal the wound.

After collecting enough Dragon Blood, he again let out a cup of his own blood, which, along with Mysterious Crystal, Star Soul Mercury, and other varying rare High-Level materials, mixed into a special Magical Ink required for the ritual.

This ink had a very short lifespan, not even lasting a full Magic Time, and had to be freshly prepared during the ritual.

Using his spiritual power to manipulate several special Rune brushes, Anvis quickly began to draw on the surface of the scales the Inscriptions and Magic Circuits required for the Soul Splitting Ceremony.

The version Anvis was using had been further modified by a Ninth Rank Spellcaster of the Olivendi Family. Compared to the original Soul Splitting Ceremony, the conversion rate and adaptability were much enhanced.

Soon, an intricate and complex bizarre Array enveloped the entire body of the Power Dragon.

Strings of pale blue lines flickered with specks of starlight, looking incredibly mysterious.

After all the preliminary preparations were made, Anvis activated the highest level of protection in the laboratory.

He then walked into a smaller Array connected to the main Array on one side of the room, and extended his spiritual power to activate the entire Ritual Array.

Dark red thick magical radiance lit up from the originally dim lines, making the entire Array seem soaked in fresh blood.

In a moment, the Giant Dragon, which originally seemed to be asleep lying on the ground, suddenly opened its cold, diamond-carved eyes—

"This is... marvelous..."

The perspective of height changed, and the room, which initially felt spacious, now seemed suddenly cramped; his own body standing in front seemed rather ’diminutive’.

Experimentally moving the Giant Dragon’s body, Anvis clumsily swung its wings and tail a bit before gradually becoming more agile.

This sense of control was quite different from his usual humanoid form, but having experience in manipulating a Flesh Clone, he quickly adapted to this difference.

After making eye contact with his own body, Anvis suddenly felt a special kind of connection.

It seemed as if he could faintly perceive the existence of a certain space.

Following this impulse, the Giant Dragon in the room transformed into a streak of light and merged into Anvis.

The consciousness that had split into two remerged, and Anvis blinked, slowly walking out of the Array.

He now understood that what he had just sensed was the Summoning Space of the Initial Summoning.

Aside from some special non-corporeal Initial Summonings, the majority of corporeal summoned entities usually reside within a Summoner’s Summoning Space, connected only by a thin thread of consciousness to the Summoner.
