Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1450 Nightmare Bone Demon! ?

Ancient wizards had already conducted in-depth research on the nightmare world that parasitizes the wizarding world.

While its origin is uncertain, it is certain that this is a fragment of a semi-illusory world, only a part of the complete nightmare world. Judging from the ancient terror demons parasitizing the alien civilization, these nightmare creatures, who collect the power of terror and control real-world beings through dreams, are far more numerous than these.

Furthermore, there once was a bizarre civilization that, like the Nightmare Wizards of the Wizarding World, enslaved these nightmare creatures.

Since the alien civilization was originally a nomadic civilization that evolved by constantly devouring more powerful passive evolutionary creature groups, before the first civilization war with the wizarding world, these aliens, parasitized by fragments of the nightmare world, may have already wandered through the distant void and accidentally arrived at the world cluster where the ancient wizards once lived.

With a solemn expression, Green was no longer relaxed in the face of this ghostly figure; this was no ordinary world.

It is highly likely that the method prepared by that heartless hunter, the Saint Mark Wizard, is a determination to fight to the death with the wizarding world!

"A nightmare world?"

As Green spoke, he noticed some scattered dark red hairs from the writhing, unpredictable face had drifted down to his side.

These dark red hairs are remarkably similar to the hair of the nightmare creature, the ugly red-haired monkey, yet they are permeated with some indescribable, absurd, and eerie rules, and are filled with an ominous aura.

Every cell in Green's body was screaming instinctively, and his soul was vehemently rejecting this thing, as if it possessed extremely evil properties.

Without a doubt, this is a rule of deep illusion, and like the rules of nightmares, it can affect reality, even more bizarrely than the rules of nightmare terror.

Green extended his palm, dispelling the elemental protective field and wizard's shield. His three-colored pupils changed into different shapes as he intently observed the changes in his palm.

The red hair, like the sands of time, disappeared upon touching Green, but Green could sense that he was being influenced by some kind of rule, existing between reality and illusion.

At that moment, the wizarding world in Grimm's eyes underwent a complete transformation.

Dark red ominous light filled the surroundings, and deathly black mist rose from the ground. Twisted ghostly figures, like smoke, slowly floated into the sky. The origin of this dark red ominous light was like a scarlet sun, spreading in the distance and slowly merging with the wizarding world. At present, it only slightly affected a small area of ​​the Third Ring Holy Tower.

Click, click, click...

After being exposed to these dark red, ominous lights, Green's left hand withered at a visible speed, its skin turning into stiff, brownish-black bark, with colorful striped worms wriggling incessantly in the pores of the bark.

"I never imagined you were so powerful under the rules of the Nightmare. You're truly a perfect skeleton. You can kill me; I'm just an insignificant existence in the Nightmare world. Soon, the Nightmare Kings will break through the illusion and descend upon this place, transforming all the souls here into fear and devouring them completely. Heh heh heh heh heh..."

Under the Nightmare Rules, the ghostly face that previously roamed within the Water Curtain Sky underwent a dramatic change in form after Green was infected by the Nightmare Rules and observed it through illusory vision.

It was an extremely ugly head, with most of the skin already rotten, leaving only a few sparse strands of hair. Dark green fluid flowed from the eye sockets, and maggots crawled on the rotting flesh.

With no lips to cover it, the rotting head chuckled, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth. Its tongue, like that of a multi-eyed monster, seemed to be hiding inside the head, observing the world around it.

Grimm didn't waste any more words with this nightmare creature. It was obvious that the conspiracy of the Heartless Hunter Saint Mark Wizard must be at the coordinates where the Nightmare World and the Wizard World overlapped. This was just an insignificant little character that had invaded after the two worlds overlapped!

What really concerned Green was that, bathed in the light of nightmares, the nightmare power within his body seemed to be receiving some kind of enhancement. Although it was insignificant to Green, it would probably be enough to double the power of a low-level nightmare wizard.

These nightmare creatures are enhanced versions of nightmare monsters that can transcend illusion and materialize in reality!

"It must be the Nightmare Wizards trying to understand the rules of this world..."

Having made his decision, Green's figure vanished silently, and the next moment he appeared above the rotting head of the man, pressing down with the withered bark hand influenced by the rules of the nightmare.

With a "whoosh," a plume of black smoke billowed from the rotting skull. The seven-colored self-sealing runes on Grimm's body flashed, ignoring the black smoke. Wherever his palm touched the rotting skull, things began to decompose and transform, like blooming chrysanthemums. Grimm's left hand went straight to the heart of the flower, reaching into the rotting skull and taking out a struggling, soft-bodied creature that was constantly emitting black smoke.

"A corpse?"

Green discovered some characteristics of this nightmare creature; it was a parasite that lived inside corpses and bones. This characteristic...

and many more!

Ignoring the struggling energy entity in his palm, which resembled a soul or mental force radiating fear, Green muttered, "Could it be...?"

These biological characteristics are extremely similar to those of the creatures from the Bone Demon world that Grimm has repeatedly dealt with!

The bone demon traded with Grimm is called the Three-Headed Bone Collapse Soul. Originally, it was an extremely large giant caterpillar, but as it continued to evolve, Grimm discovered through repeated contact that the Three-Headed Bone Collapse Soul had undergone tremendous changes. It seems to be a species that can combine and evolve based on the biological skeleton and its own characteristics.

If this is indeed the case, and the Bone Demon World is indeed a Nightmare World, then some questions seem to be explained.

Why is it that in the Bone Demon World, which is so powerful, there are always some powerful creatures who ignorantly explore it and perish one after another? After their fall, some of their treasures are traded to Grin by the Three-Headed Bone Collapse Soul as a bonus.

Because these bone demons require a large amount of fear power in addition to corpses during their evolution, while the nightmare creatures that collect this fear power need living beings, there is a conflict between the two that cannot be reconciled.

Thus, the Nightmare Bone Demons, relying on one nightmare world after another, rule over numerous worlds and collect the power of fear.

He would then use information about treasures to trade with powerful beings from other realms, or use illusions to find other powerful worlds to merge with and invade, obtaining a large number of powerful skeletons to evolve himself.

"Kill me!"

The soft-bodied creature emitting black smoke in Green's palm struggled, its will screaming, and its tentacles even tried to burrow into Green's body, but obviously to no avail.

"So you long for death, hoping to be reborn from this nightmare? Hmph, in the hands of a wizard, there are things more terrifying than death."

Grimm exhaled a wisp of shadowy, enigmatic power that enveloped the nightmare creature, sucking it into his mouth and swallowing it amidst its unwilling screams.

Immediately afterwards, the colorful runes on Green's withered palm flashed, and with a "hiss," the red hair of the Nightmare Rule spontaneously combusted. Green expelled the power of the Nightmare and restored his original delicate, long-sleeved, and smooth white palm.

Looking at the Wizarding World again, everything was clear and bright, still following the same rules of day and night and the four seasons. The pollution from the Nightmare Power just now was just an illusion.
