Wizards pursue the truth

The drizzling rain shrouded the world in a hazy mist.

The thick trees cast a shadow, making the light even dimmer. The ancient castle, nestled in the forest, gradually became gloomy. Its exterior walls were covered with moss and rust. Wang Ya stood at the window on the third floor of the castle, gazing absently at the ripples of water vapor outside. A few jade beads hit the edge of the windowsill and splashed into the corner corridor, soaking the hem of his black wizard's robe.

His gaze was calm, as if he were not looking at the outside world, but at a scene from a special perspective.

The black and white raven on the shoulder raised its head, opened its beak, and yawned boredly. The black light reflected from the black parts of its wings formed thin lines connecting black humanoid figures. The human facial features and emotions were all black souls in the infinite core. They were holding brooms and other tools, cleaning every aspect of this ancient castle.

This is a very ordinary castle, and the interior is also old and worn. It has not been modified by wizarding technology and even exudes mold and stench, just like an old castle that has been abandoned for a long time in the mortal world.

Mona Anton was also present among the Dark Souls, enthusiastically directing them to carry out their tasks.

She is the spirit of the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror, and her existence is very special. She can be considered as a living being, but also as an inanimate object. She also possesses the power of the Starry Sky level, but she is bound to the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror. She can cultivate on her own and accept and understand the existence of the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror through the three bodies of consciousness, soul, spirit, and illusion. The true spirit she possesses is the Nightmare Annihilation True Spirit, which is somewhat different from the Nightmare Dream True Spirit.

This Nightmare Mirror and Mona provide a two-way enhancement, helping Wang Ya and aiding him in battle.

At the same time, Mona's cultivation and meditation will continuously enhance the power of the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror, indirectly increasing its potential.

At this moment, in Wang Ya's world of consciousness.

The sky was gloomy, shrouded in dim clouds, purple and black intertwined, gradually blending and reflecting subtle ripples of light. Wang Ya's illusory consciousness condensed and stood above the airspace, the hem of the wizard's black robe fluttering in the cold wind. His expression was indifferent, his black eyes calmly watching the scene in the clouds.

Chi Chi!

A faint sound emanated from the clouds and mist, not just the sound of the wind, but more like the hiss of a snake. The moment it appeared, it resounded throughout the entire world, a world shrouded in dark clouds, purple and black!

Wang Ya's expression finally changed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

White arcs of light gradually flickered in his black eyes.

With the help of the Eye of Truth, he saw the essence: his new Nightmare Flower, which was not as simple as a single petal.

Hiss!

The snakes' calls became increasingly clear.

Finally, amidst the reflection of black and purple light, a snake's head, its understated blackness seemingly concealing an unprecedentedly terrifying fluctuation, emerged. It had no eyes, only rows of teeth like shark teeth. When it opened its mouth wide, the tips of its purple fangs flashed with extraordinary fluctuations like tiny electric currents.

It appears to be some kind of toxin, or perhaps an alien energy. Its nature is extremely unique, capable of condensing into a tangible liquid. Its color is a mix of purple and dark, and when it drips into the void, it leaves obvious marks. Absolutely no supernatural being would want to withstand such a liquid, as it carries absolute lethality.

The snakes were entirely black, with wisps of purple light emanating from between their scales; there were an enormous number of snakes in the mist, like thin lines of purple and black, penetrating every nook and cranny, densely surrounding Wang Ya.

Wang Ya stretched out his right hand, and a black snake head approached, opening its mouth to its widest extent. Soon, a spear exuding an aura of death, with a metallic texture, was revealed—in essence, a high-concentration condensation of dream power and energy.

The metal spear kept pushing out from the snake's head, and at its sharp tip was a pure white eyeball that rolled around, observing the world, or perhaps trying to lock onto and identify something. Wherever its gaze fell, dreamlike ripples appeared.

Wang Ya gripped the metallic gray spear, his expression indifferent, his eyes cold as lightning, and hurled the 'Great Annihilation Spear,' which represented a petal of Nightmare.

Everything along the way that was touched became absolute nothingness and emptiness. The aura of death killed everything, and those targets locked by the eyeballs on the Great Destruction Spear could not escape the fate of being pierced.

Unless the Great Destruction Spear is obliterated and countered with an even greater force.

Looking at the pitch-black emptiness, a hint of joy appeared in Wang Ya's eyes. The petals of the Nightmare Flower, along with the black and white monarch's Blood Emperor Raven body and the illusory and real intertwined annihilation flame, the Ash Calamity Lightning Path, and these black and purple snake groups, were also part of the Nightmare Flower petals—the Mortal World Corrupting Heaven and Earth Snake Swarm.

Over the course of twenty years, the mutation manifested as five petals of the Nightmare Flower, a terrifying number and the limit of what Wang Ya could achieve.

Compared to the thirteen petals, the remaining eight petals are even simpler, requiring a long period of time to complete, and are also tied to his wizarding experimental research.

It's either related to unusual items or to the power of rules.

Based on Wang Ya's limited knowledge, his understanding was limited to a few powerful spells related to the path of the Dream Wizard.

They also transformed into petals of the Nightmare Flower.

Click!

This special world of consciousness shattered, and five thirteen flowers, each shimmering with a different luster, aura, and power, swayed in the void, connected yet seemingly in opposition to one another.

The real world.

Wang Ya blinked his dark eyes, his expression returning to calm and natural. He raised his shoulders, and Harak spread his wings and flew out of the castle, soaring through the forest above.

"This place is said to be the weakest entrance to the inner world. Due to the influence of spacetime, it cannot accommodate too many wizarding technological structures and contains too many supernatural fluctuations. However, given the personality of the Grand Wizard, it is most likely that this was done intentionally."

"The sun and moon in the inner world are the same as the external environment. At midnight, the gate to the inner world, which exists in this special space, will open. By passing through the gate, one can enter the inner world, which is a relatively safe exploration area."

Wang Ya agreed to stay here for this very reason.

Such as some of the words that the Venerable Emperor Wizard once said.

Wang Ya is preparing to acquire more dream items and develop resource areas in the inner world.

The separate units have not yet returned.

A multi-faceted approach is necessary to ensure the success of insurance.

In the remaining few hundred years, Wang Ya wanted to try to break through to the level of a Radiant Moon Wizard.
