Wizard: I Have a Nightmare World

The totem warrior's right arm hung limply, and black mist continued to seep from the wound on his right leg, but his eyes remained cold and fierce.

Lynn gave him no chance to catch his breath. He knew that when dealing with this kind of energy creature, once he was given time to recover, the situation would reverse again.

Lynn took a deep breath, and the remaining magic power in his body surged out like boiling magma. He swiftly formed hand seals, activating two spell models at the same time.

【Wind Binding Technique】!

【Wind Blade Technique】!

Two cyan wind chains suddenly rose from the ground, coiling around the totem warrior's legs and injured right arm like venomous snakes.

The totem warrior tried to struggle, but his right arm was weak and his right leg was injured, slowing his movements by half a beat. The wind chains had already firmly bound his body.

At the same time, a finely condensed cyan wind blade, only the thickness of a finger, formed in front of Lynn.

The edge of the wind blade flashed with a blinding white light, cutting tiny cracks into the surrounding air.

"go!"

Lynn gave a low shout, and the wind blade, like a streak of blue lightning, shot straight at the black crystal core in the totem warrior's chest.

The totem warrior's pupils suddenly contracted, and he let out a low roar, slamming his left arm into the ground in an attempt to break free of the wind chains.

But Lynn had anticipated his actions, and the wind chains tightened suddenly at the crucial moment, fixing his body firmly in place.

puff!

The wind blades struck the surface of the black crystal core with pinpoint accuracy.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a fine crack appeared on the surface of the black crystal core.

The totem warrior's body trembled violently, and black energy gushed out from his wounds and crystal core cracks like a burst dam.

"No!! Impossible!"

The totem warrior let out a hoarse, broken roar, and his body began to rapidly disintegrate.

His limbs, torso, and head, like a stone statue weathered for thousands of years, turned into wisps of black mist and dissipated into the air.

Finally, only the cracked black crystal core remained, falling to the ground with a crisp impact.

Lynn was panting heavily, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

He forced himself to walk to the black crystal core, bent down and picked it up.

The instant his finger touched the crystal core,

Boom!!!

A vast and ancient aura instantly flooded his mind.

The feeling was like a door that had been sealed for thousands of years being suddenly pushed open, and countless images, symbols, energy flow routes, and incantation chants... poured down like a waterfall, impacting his mental power.

Then he saw a group of humans dressed in animal skins sitting around a campfire in an ancient totem civilization, with various totem runes on their foreheads and chanting obscure incantations.

An energy aura emanated from their bodies, indicating that they were merging their life force with some ancient soul power.

He saw a huge totem pole, its body covered with dense runes, and a huge black crystal core embedded at the top.

Sealed within the crystal core is the soul of a massive, vaguely shaped ancient creature, awaiting its awakening.

Then he saw the entire training process of a totem warrior: how to integrate the soul fragments of a totem beast into his own crystal core, how to construct energy circuits within the crystal core, and how to transform totem power into his own through specific meditation methods...

This knowledge was incomplete, consisting of only fragmented pieces, but it was enough for Lynn to gain a preliminary understanding of this ancient power system.

"Totem... Soul fusion... Energy circulation..."

Lynn murmured to himself, etching that knowledge deep into his memory like a brand.

Just then, a warm power surged from the black crystal core, flowing down his arm into his body and rushing straight to his mind.

Nourished by this power, his spiritual strength began to grow rapidly.

"These things can actually enhance my mental strength?"

Lynn gripped the black crystal core tightly, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He could feel that his body had reached a certain limit, after all, he had been fighting in the nightmare world for several hours and his mental energy had been greatly depleted.

He also felt the pull from the real world.

"It's time to go back!"

Lynn closed his eyes, letting the weariness envelop him. He felt as if an invisible hand was gently lifting his body, causing it to float slowly upwards.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the rough stone walls at the top of the cave.

A ray of sunlight slanted in from the cave entrance, casting a golden patch on the ground. The air was filled with the scent of earth and vegetation, along with a faint smell of blood—traces left from yesterday.

Lynn sat up and subconsciously stretched her shoulders.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his left palm.

He looked down and his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the palm of his left hand was a black crystal core the size of an egg, covered with fine cracks.

"This is not..."

Lynn stared wide-eyed at the black crystal core in his hand in disbelief.

This crystal core was the one he obtained after defeating the totem warrior in the nightmare world, and he actually brought it into the real world.

It's worth noting that Lynn had previously tried to bring potions made in the Nightmare World into the real world, but all of them had failed.

But this time, he actually brought items from the nightmare world into the real world.

Just as he was in shock, he heard a rustling sound coming from his pocket.

Amber's little head peeked out from the edge of the pocket, rubbing its sleepy eyes, and then saw the black crystal core in Lynn's hand.

"Huh? Lynn, where did you get this?"

Amber let out a gasp, her small body popping out of the pocket and landing on Lynn's shoulder.

Her little face was filled with shock and curiosity.

"Amber, do you recognize this?"

Lynn asked curiously.

Amber's little head shook like a rattle.

"I don't recognize it, but the aura emanating from it makes Amber feel uneasy. It's somewhat like the corrupt dream my grandmother used to talk about."

A corrupt dream?

Upon hearing this, Lynn frowned. He suspected that the corrupt dream Grandma Amber mentioned might be referring to the Nightmare World.

But Amber wasn't his grandmother, so he couldn't possibly prove whether the "corrupted dream" she spoke of was the nightmare world he knew.

Unless Amber takes him to the secondary elemental plane where the garden fairies reside, to personally negotiate with their grandmother.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the cave, and Du Wei's voice came from the cave entrance.

"Lynn? You're awake? Everyone's getting ready to leave. How did you sleep last night?"

Lynn sat up and stretched.

"Not bad. What are the plans for today?"

Du Wei leaned against the rock by the cave entrance, a blade of grass between his teeth, and looked at the distant horizon as he spoke.

"Our primary task today is to investigate the specific situation inside Crimson Flame City, and then find a way to take it down within two days."

Lynn had no doubt about the truth of Du Wei's words, because their strength had already been proven yesterday.

Without the first-ring totem masters banding together, the combat power of the seventh logistics squad is more than enough to crush any totem world's citadel here.

It can be said that in this totem world, as long as that second-ring totem master doesn't make a move, the strength of the seventh logistics squad is enough to make them completely untouchable.

"Is that so? Then what do you need me to do?"

Lynn stood up, had already packed her things, and walked over to Du Wei and asked.

"Your tasks, such as staying at the base and gathering intelligence, will be handled by us."

Lynn had no objection to this situation.

He could take advantage of the time they were away to examine the black crystal core he had obtained from the Nightmare World, as well as his mental power.

He could feel his increased mental strength in the nightmare world, which seemed to be reflected in the real world as well.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. It just so happens that some of my research is not yet finished."

"But you need to be careful, after all, this is their territory."

Du Wei waved his hand dismissively at Lynn's warning, completely ignoring it.

"Relax, you could say that without our own people, these indigenous people in the totem world are not a problem for us."

Lynn naturally knew who the other party was referring to as their "one of their own," so he said no more.
