Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 506 [506] A Battle Where Reality and Dreams Intertwine.

This is a comprehensive invasion of the dream, pulling all life forms with fluctuations of consciousness on the territory of the Pale Hand into the dream world.

There may be some errors or omissions, which may have brought many extraordinary beings from the real world into the dream world; the blizzard season still exists, and the crisis and hidden dangers of the wind and snow spirits have caused extraordinary beings to fall into slumber and seal themselves off. Even if there are errors or omissions, there won't be too many.

The wizards were naturally active, and were stationed in various pale fortresses, using magic arrays to defend against the hidden threats brought by the blizzard.

The Nightmare Wizard sat at the center of the illusion-reversal magic array, manipulating the entire Pale Hand force through the Dream Sword.

Buzz!

The rainbow-colored ribbon-like sword light flowed not only across the sword but also into the Nightmare Tree, making the tree grow larger, its bark thicker and more ancient, and its leaves more abundant. The black and white foam fruits hanging on it, however, remained unchanged.

In one of the scenes, there are some pale-handed wizards who have died at the hands of the native life in the dream world, and their corpses are being devoured.

Cruel and bloody, these are things that have not passed the test.

Sometimes luck plays a big part too.

Among those who died, it wasn't just that they lacked the strength themselves, but also that the dangers they encountered were too extreme, rendering some conventional methods ineffective.

The inability to use particle energy and elements to influence external matter is a fatal flaw for any wizard.

The third-level wizard apprentice named Rick and his group of little guys were really lucky, appearing directly in a dream world environment related to real-world buildings; the dangers in the primeval forest were not great, just a group of low-level dream creatures.

Conversely, the seven or eight apprentice wizards next door, in the same environment, temporarily formed an alliance to fight against the hidden threats brought by the dream world, but the result was still tragic, with two-thirds of them killed or injured. The alliance collapsed on its own, and they all fled for their lives.

The sword's light faded, and the sharp lines gradually revealed tiny wizard runes related to dreams. They seemed to originate from a corner of a dream, which had transformed the characteristics and talents of various extraordinary creature races into dreams, thus allowing the Dream Sword itself to control them.

After clarifying the specific characteristics of the Dream Sword, Wang Ya was overjoyed. It seemed to be destined by fate, perfectly matching his ongoing research on the illusory witch body. Harak's infinite black core was similar to and could complement the characteristics and abilities of many extraordinary creature races in this sword-nurturing array.

After the Nightmare Tree devours the Dream Sword, its foundation and nature will certainly directly possess these characteristics.

Wang Ya will return to the original dream's infinite core, and combine it with the reborn Nightmare Ancient Tree to directly complete the creation of the illusory witch body.

This route is correct and has a high probability of being feasible.

The Infinite Black Core, which was initially developed based on the Harak bacteriophage, also drew upon research on dream creatures and was able to complete its basic construction through the inherited knowledge and experimental manuscripts of the Dream Wizard.

Dream creatures are bizarre and mysterious, without the limitations of a specific form, possessing all possibilities; perfectly corresponding to the infinite black core and the essential concept of the illusory witch body.

The pale main tower.

The Blue Shield Wizard was talking to the Sky Curtain Wizard. One had his hands behind his back, while the other leaned casually against the wall, seemingly discussing some experiences related to mechanical experiments.

The relationship between the two is better than that between other Star Wizards. They have fought side by side and experienced life-and-death crises together, and there is much more trust between them.

The Sky Wizard's pupils flashed with an unusual light as he turned to look at the other version of himself that had suddenly appeared. The other person also looked over, their face showing surprise.

"I was influenced by someone and appeared directly in reality," another Sky Wizard said.

The Sky Wizard in reality frowned slightly. "It can't be that simple. Wait, what's this..."

The Blue Shield Wizard's face was gloomy. His cold eyes swept over the Blue Shield Wizard in the dream world. The extraordinary fluctuations released by the power of the true spirit shattered it into nothingness, and the floating dream-colored light was injected into his body.

The true spirit is unique; even a part of oneself within a dream can be perceived and responded to.

Even wizard apprentices could vaguely sense something and feel uneasy.

The more powerful a wizard is, the more they can do. In the dream world, they remain powerful and have no major weaknesses.

Blue Shield Wizard's pupils contracted as he saw the deeper truth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, our reality has been affected. Someone is trying to pull us into a dream illusion. What is that bastard, Dream Wizard, good for? Is his dream defense a joke?"

The Sky Wizard frowned even more deeply. He remained silent, pondering the implications behind the current situation.

"Contact the others first. Blue Shield, I have a bad feeling. The void of reality hasn't been touched. How did they manage to avoid the Dream God and pull us into the Dream World?"

They could barely accept an apprentice wizard.

However, being located in the core area of ​​the Pale Hand, and with the Dream Wizard, a second-level Star Wizard, in charge, there was also the Dream Wizard.

They shouldn't be affected at all.

Furthermore, even if they were in a dream, it would be impossible for them not to notice anything unusual.

If someone wanted to tamper with their past selves in a corner of the dream, they would need the ability to go back to when they were wizard apprentices. If they could do that, they wouldn't need any other means; simply killing them would be no more difficult than crushing an ant.

A cloud of doubt hung over the Sky Wizard's mind. He called out to the hot-tempered Blue Shield Wizard, who was trying to trace the source directly to eliminate all the trouble.

The opponent was extremely bloodthirsty, his eyes were bloodshot, and his extraordinary bloodline was in an activated and explosive state. In terms of fighting spirit and endurance, the Blue Shield Wizard in front of him was the one to win. Beneath the human skin was a true ferocious beast with the most primal desire to kill, and even the wizard's heart could only be barely suppressed.

The Dream Sky Wizard nodded to the Real Sky Wizard, then walked over and merged into the body's true spirit. Its strength would not increase in any way. Dreams represent illusion and fantasy, but if the Dream Sky Wizard does not merge into the main body, it can distort reality to a certain extent and exert the strength of the Star Wizard, but only for a brief moment, unless the main body supplies energy to the Dream body.

Two Star Wizards emerged from the Pale Tower. The other five Star Towers, which guarded the area, were still extremely far away. Below them were various landscapes and the many buildings of the Pale Hand headquarters. One by one, the vibrant headquarters wizards could be seen fading and disappearing, falling into the illusory dream world without their knowledge.

Instead, there are dream bodies, standing numbly in place, without any movement, like statues; dream bodies that can move are quite powerful in reality, but have not yet reached the level of formal wizards, and their movement is limited to a certain range, without the ability to think consciously.

The Sky Wizard narrowed his eyes. When he saw several formal wizards flying over in streaks of light, he seemed to understand something, and his expression turned very ugly.

"The reality of our Pale Hands is being replaced, and all wizards are being affected."

The figures of the Blood Moon Wizard and the Crimson Blood Wizard emerged from the void. The formal wizards who surrounded them quickly bowed to express their wizarding etiquette. The first two waved their hands, and their mental fluctuations interacted with the Sky Curtain and Blue Shield Wizards.

"I can see that too, but I don't know how far the impact will be."

"Even the core area of ​​headquarters was not spared. When we contacted the official wizards of other Pale Fortresses, the response was always the same: the dream body appeared in reality, and the real body entered the dream."

"The number of wizards affected is greater than we expected. Apart from the formal wizards who have condensed their true spirits and the Star Wizards, no other wizards have escaped unscathed. This is definitely a premeditated attack. The mastermind behind it is unknown, and the methods used are those of dream wizards, which are not what you or I are good at."

Even the most arrogant Blue Shield Wizard fell silent. In reality, his power was strong enough to be invincible, but if the enemy played dirty tricks and attacked from the illusory realm of dreams, he would find it difficult to counterattack. At most, he could only protect himself and would not be greatly affected.

During the exchange among the four Star Wizards, the number of formal wizards gathering after receiving the message also increased, exceeding one hundred. They remained silent, simply awaiting the Star Wizards' decision before proceeding with the Pale Wizard mission.

"Damn it, we haven't even seen a single enemy yet. Can't we just come out and fight fair and square? This sneaky, scheming behavior is disgusting."

The Blue Shield Wizard cursed impatiently, then aimed his right hand at an empty void and threw a punch in a fit of rage.

boom!

The void erupted with a tremor, the force of which traveled extremely far, even the spatial layers seemed to be on the verge of cracking.

Sky Wizard's eyes brightened. "Blue Shield Wizard, you're right. The enemy's current actions are inclined towards intrigue and treachery. They dare not confront us openly. The enemy's strength is inferior to ours."

"Although we don't know what methods the other party used to cause this situation, as long as we find the person behind it, everything will be resolved."

All four Star Wizards attempted to enter the Dream World, but found nothing unusual.

"Where is Shenmeng? Why hasn't he shown up yet? He bears the greatest responsibility for what happened, yet he still hasn't appeared."

The Blue Shield Wizard spoke with a cold face. As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Dream Wizard emerged from the void, his expression equally grave.

He went straight to the point, saying, "The dream body comes from a corner of the dream. An unknown force is invading and affecting all corners of the dream, pulling them into the deeper dream world space. They cannot be found in the surface dream world."

The Dream Wizard took a deep breath and delivered the shocking news that resonated with the four: "The Sword Nurturing Formation has malfunctioned, and I have lost control of it."

"What did you say? That sword... you can't control the great formation, so wouldn't that sword have encountered an accident?" The Sky Curtain Wizard's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe the news.

"That sword has always been hidden deep behind the lines. Only the five of us know the inside story, so there shouldn't have been any accidents."

Blood Moon Wizard gritted his teeth, his anger rising. He couldn't shake the fact that they had paid too high a price for that sword, and the future of the entire Pale Hand rested on that sword. He couldn't accept the words of Dream Wizard.

The other Star Wizards also could not accept this result.

"It was my mistake. I had a sudden urge before, but I didn't realize why. I guess the other party was already preparing for today back then."

The Dream Wizard sighed and admitted his mistake.

"The person behind the scenes discovered the sword, reversed control of the sword-nurturing formation, and hid the sword realm, creating the illusion that I still control it," the Dream Wizard explained. "We both know how powerful that sword is, but the person behind the scenes could never have completely mastered it. We still have a chance."

"The appearance of the dream body means that he has reversed the use of the sword-nurturing formation, invading the dream corners of small extraordinary creatures into the various dream corners belonging to our Pale Hand."

"No trace of a dream can escape my eyes. I can sense the reality at the source of that trace." The Dream Wizard's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in an icy tone, "As long as we trace the source, we can find the Sword Realm and naturally find the person behind it all."

"The wizards in reality have all been replaced in a corner of the dream. By solving the source, the predicament of the Pale Hand is also resolved."

Another problem that has troubled many wizards is...

That's the identity of the person behind it all.

Who is it?

Neither the Royal Palace nor the Ancient Heart possessed powerful dream wizards, nor could they have accomplished something like this: wiping out all the low-level wizards of their Pale Hands without a fight.

No matter what, we still have to fight it out and deal with the trouble.

"Stand behind me, and I will release the Divine Dream Aura, granting you temporary access to the dream world and the ability to cast your own spells and use particle energy. Your combat strength will not be much weaker than in reality."

"It will only last for two hours, but that's enough." The Dream Wizard's eyes were cold, devoid of any vibrant emotion, only filled with endless killing intent. "Only clowns hiding in the shadows would resort to such schemes and tricks to fight alongside me."

As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous dream portal suddenly appeared in the void before him.

The Dream Wizard stepped in first, followed closely by the many formal wizards with the Pale Hand and the Star Wizard.

The aura of killing intent surged forth, impossible to conceal, and soared straight to the heavens.

Even the wind and snow seemed to want to avoid it.

This is a battle where reality and dreams intertwine.
