Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 372 - 147: Investigation and Breakthrough

Meanwhile, as the ruler of Frey Province where the Starfire Organization had wreaked the worst havoc before, the higher echelons of the Aslade Family had truly begun to take these resistance organizations seriously.

The Resistance Organization ’Truth Circle’ has obtained secrets from the Ancient Magic Empire Vault? There are suspicions of a Ninth Rank Limit Professional within the organization’s high ranks? And they even managed to trap multiple Ninth Ranks at once?!

This is serious! This is serious!

Luckily it was discovered early. If they were not given attention, allowing them to secretly grow for a while longer, Frey Province might have had to change its surname.

After an urgent discussion, the Royal Family’s Crystal Gate Bair and the Aslade Family swiftly reached an agreement.

At any cost, they must find this organization’s tracks! At the very least, they must be brought out from the shadows!

However, first, their investigation needed a breakthrough. The Resistance Army ’Starfire’ was particularly suitable for this.

Being a resistance organization, ’Starfire’ was likely to be connected with ’Truth Circle’, or at least they would have some knowledge of them.

After determining their plan of action, the Starfire Organization immediately fell into great misfortune.

Under the personal intervention of several Ninth Rank Professionals, in just a few days, a large number of resistance army members were captured, and all the cities that were lost before were reclaimed under the control of the Aslade Family.

However, during the process of annihilating the Starfire Organization, a brief incident left many of the involved Ninth Ranks in shock.

A Ninth Rank member of the Aslade Family, while raiding a secret base of the Starfire Organization, actually encountered a Ninth Rank Professional in hiding!

Regrettably, during the brief encounter, the mysterious Ninth Rank did not engage in battle but instead immediately activated a bizarre Magic Artifact, and vanished in an instant through a leap in the Dream Realm.

Caught off guard, that Ninth Rank was unable to completely seal off the Dream Layer, and could only watch helplessly as the other escaped.

After this unexpected event, the actions of the many Ninth Ranks became more cautious. When searching for the Starfire Organization’s bases, they began to carefully detect in advance, constantly vigilant against possible attacks.

Previously, although they spoke of taking it seriously, they still didn’t really consider it a big deal in their hearts.

But now it’s different, if within the Starfire Organization there truly exists a Ninth Rank, it’s like among a flock of sheep, there lurks a lion in sheep’s clothing. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Not only the Truth Circle, even this Starfire that they never paid attention to before seems not so simple.

The waters of these so-called ’Civil Resistance Organizations’ run deep!

After the brief capturing operation ended, many Ninth Ranks immediately started arranging Soul Searches to try to find information relating to that mysterious Ninth Rank and the ’Truth Circle’.

From the memories of the Starfire Organization’s captured high-level members, they indeed obtained a lot of valuable information.

Although most of their memories had been sealed by a special magic sealing, rashly touched by external magic power could lead to permanent deletion.

But the Empire’s Ninth Rank Professionals specializing in Sealing and Soul, after studying, successfully managed to intercept some information before their memories dissipated.

What they didn’t know before they investigated gave them quite a scare upon checking.

The high ranks of the ’Starfire’ organization actually had secret connections with the notoriously nefarious Yiter Federation conspiracy organization ’Door in the Pupil’!

There is evidence showing that they have acquired a large number of support supplies. This includes a bulk of mid-to-high rank combat-type Magic-guided Mechanicals, as well as some unidentified High Rank Professionals who seem to be conspiring something.

Upon learning the latest situation at once, Gloria III, while shocked, once again enlisted the help of two Ninth Rank reinforcement teams for investigation.

At the same time, the other three big families also began searching their provincial territories to prevent the legendary ’Truth Circle’ from taking advantage of any vulnerabilities.

In the previous Floating City explosion incident, the current Duke of the Enoch family unfortunately perished, and his consciousness in the outside world has only just barely recovered, with his strength not even reaching Fourth Rank.

To avoid another tragedy, the three big families all started searching for information about the ’Truth Circle’ with all their might, no one wanting to become ’the next’ Duke Enoch.

During the following half a month, the Empire’s situation was as tense as walking on thin ice. Apart from the Resistance Organization, other gray and black organizations also met with disaster, being effortlessly extinguished by the Ninth Rank who conducted personal inspections.

Under such an overwhelming crackdown, underground organizations in the Empire such as the Thief Guild almost began to shrink their influence for the time being, not daring to provoke the Empire at this moment.

Meanwhile, during this period, Anvis had also set up the environment necessary for his advancement and was ready to officially make his breakthrough.

Inside the anti-magic alloy secret chamber of the underground laboratory, Anvis manipulated the Secret Silver Rune Pen to draw the final three-dimensional inscription at the center of a large Array on the ground.

With the inscription successfully branded, the whole Array emitted a faint ghostly glow, successfully passing its self-check.

"Phew—"

He sighed, allowing Anvis to momentarily relax.

This isolation Array was enough to completely block out Magic Fluctuations of Eighth Rank and above and should suffice to conceal the aura of his breakthrough.

Because he had not revealed his true strength, he had to complete the entire Array alone, which took him a considerable amount of time.

He was not prepared to reveal to outsiders the fact that his strength was about to break through Seventh Rank.

The news of a Pamir freshman breaking through Seventh Rank within little more than a year would be too shocking and could lead to outcomes he would rather avoid.

The huge Power Dragon clone lay next to the Array, observing its own original body from another angle.

After activating the effects of the Array, Anvis stepped into it, slowly sat down, and proceeded to continue the breakthrough he hadn’t finished before.

At the same time, the Rune Arrays on the walls of the secret chamber also began to operate, completely sealing off the aura in the room, and isolating the internal and external spaces to prevent the aura from leaking out.

At his command, the Ancient Secret Scripture floating beside him suddenly emitted a tremendous flow of strength.

The breakthrough process that had been interrupted temporarily inside the ruins was now finally resuming.

When the last bit of Spiritual Synchronization was enhanced, Anvis’s body suddenly began to emit a faint white glow.

That was the symbol of the Spiritual Synchronization reaching one hundred percent, an innate ignition of the Spirit Fire due to the complete fusion of spirit and flesh.

In this Spirit Fire that used his entire being as fuel, either he would completely sublimate in the burning, morphing into a speck of Seventh Rank Spirit Essence, successfully ascending to a higher rank, or he would burn out his spiritual power entirely, losing all Strength.

But Anvis noticed a special circumstance: because the feedback of strength from the Ancient Secret Scripture was still continuously flowing, his process of burning spiritual power seemed to be sustained by the strength of the Ancient Secret Scripture.
