The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 169 Commanding Nightmares, Nightmare Body

Shortly after collecting the power of nightmares, the dream rift appeared again. It seemed that the unlucky George fell asleep again.

But compared to the first time, this time the dream rift became a little smaller, and the edge looked a little unstable.

"Gah, an ordinary intelligent creature like this can only collect nightmare power three times a night, and each time he collects it, his dream will become more fragile." Ulises explained to Richard, "The carrying capacity of dreams is limited. Once it becomes fragile, it will be easy for you to cause the dream to be shattered after entering.

So I suggest you change the sheep."

Since I couldn't enter this dream, I could only go to other people's dreams. But when Richard looked at the nightmare spirits active in the village, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

“Ulises, didn’t you say that the nightmare power of these nightmare creatures can be plundered? Aren’t these little guys the best targets for plunder right now?”

"Ha, these little guys have too little nightmare power, so it's not cost-effective to plunder them. Of course, if you want, you can try it first." There was something wrong with Ulysses' tone when he spoke, as if he was planning something bad.

Richard glanced at him and grabbed a nightmare spirit with his magic hand.

This nightmare spirit looks like a toad, but it has seven or eight blood-red eyes on its head, which looks very scary.

"How do I loot?"

"Gah, eat it." Ulises laughed strangely.

"Eat it?" Richard looked at Ulises, his face a little gloomy, "Are you sure?"

Ulises said solemnly: "Gah, I swear in the name of the God King that I am definitely not kidding you. It was after I ate these nightmare creatures that I gained the first trace of nightmare power."

After saying this, he let out a few more strange laughs.

He now really wanted to see Richard's expression after he swallowed these little things.

The smell of these nightmare creatures is simply...

Richard expressionlessly used his magic hands to crush the nightmare spirit to death, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his body.

Only Richard's soul entered the nightmare wizard world, so his current body is just an illusion and has no actual function.

As the nightmare spirit entered his body, Richard instantly felt an unimaginable feeling of nausea.

If Richard were asked to describe it, he would rather eat British food every day for the rest of his life than have another bite of this stuff.

Ulises couldn't help laughing at the strange expression on Richard's face.

"Quack, quack, Richard, what do these nightmare creatures taste like?"

Richard twisted his neck stiffly, "Ulises, I think it's a wrong decision to let the World Mushroom adjust your taste. What do you think?"

The next moment, the black crow that was laughing strangely froze in place.

"Gah, my dear master, this is just an attempt. This is a necessary part of surviving in the nightmare world. Once you have a body made of nightmare power, the situation will change a lot."

Richard glared at him and began to check the nightmare power he had obtained by devouring the nightmare spirit.

Looking at the magic power flowing back, which was almost the same as the nightmare power he had just refined, Richard couldn't help but turn pale.

After suffering so much and gaining such a small amount of nightmare power, the method of quickly gaining nightmare power by devouring nightmare spirits was completely eliminated from Richard's plan.

But Richard soon thought of another solution.

"Ulysses, what do you say about me becoming the leader of these little guys? Let them hand over their nightmare power to me." Richard asked.

"Gah, I don't know about that either. I never tried it before."

"You haven't tried it?" Richard asked in surprise, "What are the flaws of this method?"

"Gah, no, I obtained nightmare power by eating those high-level nightmare creatures and stealing the nightmare crystals from those guys.

Being a lord yourself is not as fast as just taking something ready-made."

Richard: "..."

……

Before trying to command this group of nightmare spirits, Richard first did some research on these little creatures.

As the lowest and most common nightmare creatures in the nightmare world, nightmare spirits have a very magical structure. Their bodies do not have flesh and blood in the conventional sense, and their lives are completely maintained by the power of nightmares.

The power of nightmare forms a simple energy cycle in the body, and there are certain differences in the energy cycle between different nightmare spirits.

If the cycle is broken, the Nightmare will die.

When a Nightmare Spirit receives non-fatal injuries, an extremely foul-smelling black mucus will flow out of its body. This mucus is non-toxic, but it simply causes disgust to creatures from other worlds.

However, if it suffers a fatal injury, the Nightmare Spirit's body will not ooze out black mucus, but will instead turn into dust. The speed of the dust transformation is related to the amount of nightmare power that escapes from the Nightmare Spirit's body.

The less nightmare power remains in the body, the more it turns to dust.

When the nightmare power is completely dissipated, the nightmare spirit's body will turn into a pool of black dust.

During this process, the nightmare power that escaped from the nightmare spirit body could not be collected. After escaping, all of this nightmare power entered the earth. It was as if an invisible force was pulling them.

The strength of these nightmare spirits is not high, most of them can't even beat a ten-year-old child, but as the nightmare power in their bodies increases, their strength will also increase. In addition to strength, the intelligence level of these little guys is also around ten years old, and this intelligence level will not increase due to the increase of nightmare power.

But this test result is only limited to the Nightmare Spirit stage. According to Ulysses, when a Nightmare Spirit collects enough nightmare power, it will evolve into a higher-level nightmare creature. Most high-level nightmare creatures evolve little by little from low-level nightmare creatures.

While observing the experiment, Richard unexpectedly discovered that his soul talent, energy vision, could still be used in the nightmare world. It was also because of the energy vision that he was able to complete the experiment so smoothly and observe so much data.

The entire experimental process took Richard a week, but he gained a lot from it.

Among them, the Nightmare Spirit has the highest energy circulation value.

These energy cycles are extremely simple, but Richard is keenly aware of their potential. When these energy cycles carry enough nightmare power, changes will occur.

And this change is the secret of the evolution of nightmare creatures.

After completing the research, Richard returned to the village with a very long purple vine in his hand. This vine was nothing special, just an ordinary vine that had been mutated from the nightmare world, with a small amount of paralysis toxin.

Richard's purpose in taking it was simple.

As runes appeared in Richard's hands, a simple alchemy array appeared in Richard's palm. Under the influence of the alchemy array, Richard's spirit began to control the vine to deform.

The deformed vines were like some kind of carnivorous plants. They crawled into the house, then divided into small groups to entangle and bind the nightmare spirits, and then sent them out of the house.

Soon, all the nightmare spirits in the village gathered at the center.

Nightmare spirits are very noisy, and when they gather together the sound is like a group of flies buzzing in your ears.

"Quiet!"

A thunderous sound drowned out the nightmare spirits' cries and silenced them.

Richard, who made the sound, slowly walked out from the shadows.

Richard looked at this group of nightmare spirits and did not say anything difficult to understand. He shouted in a rude tone:

"Listen, you bunch of weaklings, I am the boss of this village now, and you are all my little brothers now!"

After studying the Nightmare Spirits, Richard believes that when communicating with these creatures, you must speak directly, otherwise they may not understand what you mean. Secondly, if you want to subdue them, you must show your strength and be fierce enough.

And now, Richard needs some troublemakers to show his strength and ferocity.

As soon as Richard finished speaking, one of the nightmare spirits that looked like a scarecrow broke free from the vines and stood up.

"Who do you think you are to be my boss..."

Before he could finish his words, a ball of black flame burned him to ashes.

Richard withdrew his finger from the scarecrow, and asked with a strange smile:

"Hehehe, who among you still refuses to accept?"

This time Richard didn't wait for the troublemaker to appear. He immediately used his magic hand to grab a nightmare spirit that looked like a palm from the nightmare spirits.

This nightmare spirit had the strongest nightmare power among all the nightmare spirits. Combined with its appearance, it was probably the leader of the Slap Gang. Without saying anything more, Richard used his magic hand to crush the Slap Nightmare Spirit to death and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Although the Nightmare Spirit tasted terrible, Richard still pretended to be ferocious.

"This guy actually swayed his body while I was talking. It's obvious that he wanted to resist me."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the nightmare spirits in the center of the village froze instantly, even a nightmare spirit that looked like a heart stopped beating.

Richard looked at this scene and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that no one has any objection to this matter.

Well, now, all of you, hand over to me one third of the nightmare power in your bodies!
Don't try to be sneaky or try to escape secretly, I can see everything you do!"

After that, Richard stood in the middle of the village, pointed at a nightmare spirit next to him and said, "Now, let's start with you!"

……

The nightmare creatures have different ways of handing over their nightmare powers. Some cut off a piece of flesh from their bodies, and some condense it into some kind of object. Although the nightmare powers are not much, with nearly 500 nightmare spirits in the village, Richard still collected 1,000 nightmare forces. Among them, several particularly large nightmare spirits each contributed 100 nightmare forces to him.

There is not much nightmare power. Even if it is all absorbed by a nightmare spirit, it can only increase the strength to that of an ordinary knight.

But for Richard now, these nightmare powers are enough for him to make a crude body to conceal his identity as an alien creature.

When making the body, Richard did not simply mold it out like a clay figure. On the contrary, in order to allow a simple energy circulation obtained from the Nightmare Spirit to occur inside the body, Richard even gave up on increasing the strength of the body.

"Gah, this body is too weak. If you enter this body, I'm afraid you won't be able to exert even one thousandth of your strength." Ulysses commented as he looked at the body made by Richard.

In front of him, a body that looked almost human was emitting some ominous aura.

Richard glanced at him, gently stroked his body and said:
"You know nothing. I see infinite possibilities in this nightmare body."
