Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1478 The Nightmare Descends (Thirteen)

"tutor!"

"Master Green".

Grimm passed between Blacksor and Sylvanas, who were respectively fighting the third and fourth Nightmare Bone Kings that had hatched. After greeting Grimm and indicating that they could handle it, they grunted in agreement. Grimm then passed the two of them and flew toward the fifth and sixth giant insect eggs.

"Charge, Grimmon, tear them to shreds!"

While hovering in mid-air, Xiao Ba watched as Sylvanas led millions of puppet soldiers to besiege the Nightmare King's projection, and at the same time, he shouted fiercely at Green, adding, "Crush every single bone in them."

Of the millions of interconnected milky-white threads in the sky, only four remain, each connected to a projection of one of the four Nightmare Kings.

Green's gaze fell upon the fifth giant egg about to hatch. With a "whoosh," before anyone could appear, black smoke erupted, and a spinning warhammer hurtled toward Green.

Still in his second-stage primal transformation, Grimm, with his three-meter-tall, strong physique covered in bone spurs and containing astonishing explosive power, let out a "humph" from deep in his throat. He unleashed the Abyss Magic Staff with all his might, instantly freezing ten thousand meters in the ice. The warhammer slowed down little by little in the glacier and was then caught steadily by Grimm's left hand.

Crackling sounds!

Light and darkness intertwined and twisted, and the black arc of electricity emitted an astonishingly high-frequency shockwave. In a flash, it shot towards the giant egg that had not yet fully hatched. The giant egg broke and surged out. The black mist resisted for a moment but was pierced by the black arc of electricity. With a "hum", the black arc of electricity pierced through the giant egg and then disappeared into the horizon.

"Waaah..."

Centered on the point where the annihilating electric arc penetrated, the giant egg collapsed and spread, and before it could even hatch, it was annihilated by Green's attack exceeding three million degrees.

At the same time, the last projection of the Nightmare King broke out of its shell.

"I never expected the Nightmare Gate to have been opened to such an extent. The vanguard of the Nightmare Bone Demon Legion has already invaded, yet things have reached this point here. Who are you?"

This is a humanoid skeleton wearing a crown, its right hand tightly gripping a scepter, the tip of which is a constantly blinking eye, seemingly looking at the world from another perspective, replacing the skeleton's empty eye socket.

Green ignored him and swung his Abyss Magic Staff again. Crackling sounds filled the air as the glacier shattered and ice crystals scattered everywhere. Black arcs of electricity twisted in all directions, light and darkness flashing by, their target the sixth Nightmare King.

"Click click click click click, it's useless."

Beneath the crown, the humanoid skeleton's jaw opened and closed, chuckling incessantly. The eerie eye on the scepter in its hand stared intently, emitting a dark red halo that condensed the countless strands of light spewed by the worms into a single, dazzling beam. This beam collided with the annihilating power of the black electric arcs, and with a "poof," the two dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, the crown on the top of the skeleton flashed, and the billions of worms on the ground in the vast space became even more ferocious, hissing and devouring each other at a significantly faster pace!

Glug, glug, glug, glug...

The hunter's heart pounded violently as the Nightmare King's projection leaped up and landed atop the hunter's heart. A wave of light swept across it, dispelling many of the forgotten runes that had been attached to it.

"What a wondrous heart! Even with all my experience, I've never seen anything that could influence the rules of the world like this. Look, it's as beautiful as the Nightmare Moon. What would it be like to bring it into the Nightmare World? A blood-red crescent moon, blood-red rain, cries of terror from nightmares—not only will it plunder bones and fearful souls, but it will also have blood... Oh ho ho ho ho ho, I'm so excited every bone in my body is trembling!"

On one side, the projection of the Nightmare King was acting crazy and excited, while on the other side, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Grimm appeared in a flash beside the projection of the Nightmare King.

Clearly, this projection of the Nightmare King does not possess powerful close-combat capabilities. In Grimm's three-colored eyes, this projection of the Nightmare King is intricately connected to the illusory space. It is highly likely that the entire illusory space is a domain created by this Nightmare King clone, and is the coordinate that the Heartless Hunter contacted before his death.

"Blood Prison!"

Using the eye at the tip of his scepter, he controlled the countless worm spirits in this space, thus gaining control over the Hunter's Heart. Suddenly, a blood barrier trapped Green within it, and the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff made a loud "thud," causing a violent tremor throughout the entire nodular space.

The barrier's vibrations traveled along countless strands of light to the billions of worms. These worms, which were devouring each other, were affected by the vibrations, and a small portion of them exploded with a "poof." However, this did not affect anything. The other worms swarmed forward, devouring the broken worms completely before continuing to kill and devour each other.

Through mutual cannibalism and devouring, these worms have become significantly stronger, with some even reaching the level of secondary organisms.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump...

Each time Green struggled within the blood prison, it caused a large number of worms to explode, only to be devoured by others. Green's struggles, in turn, accelerated the worms' evolutionary rate through mutual cannibalism: level three worms, level four worms...

"It's useless, crack crack crack crack. No one understands everything here better than me, the nature of energy conversion. You and this heart share the same attributes. If I devour you, it will grow into its complete form. From then on, the Nightmare Bone Demon world will forever be filled with weeping blood, crack crack crack crack crack..."

"Damn it, this guy is too arrogant, and his laughter is so awful. He deserves to die! Grimmon, hurry up and use your Ultimate Evolution to finish him off!"

Same attributes?

Standing still, Green ignored Xiao Ba, his tricolored eyes carefully gazing at every inch of space within the Blood Barrier. The bone spurs on his body slowly retracted into his body, and at the same time, his three-meter-tall body gradually shrank, returning to its normal shape.

He stretched out his pale, long-sleeved left hand, his fingertips lightly touching the barrier.

boo...

When Green let go of his resistance and touched the barrier, he felt as if he were touching his own skin!

"Heh heh, heh heh heh heh heh, interesting, very interesting indeed. So the reason I used the Time-Space Sealing Technique of the Book of Truth instead of forcibly destroying it was actually my own instinct!"

As Grimm lightly touched the barrier, a door silently appeared. Grimm, with Hachi on his shoulder, swaggered out of the door. The Nightmare King projection, which was holding a scepter and making a strange "click-click-click" laugh, was stunned.

"How could this be...?"

With a "thud," Green's left hand pierced through the chest cavity of the Nightmare King, a cruel smile appearing on his gray face.

"what!"

But then, the scepter in the projection of the Nightmare King trembled violently, then slowly ossified, shattering with a "crash." The body was absorbed into the crown on Grimm's head. Slightly surprised, a black arc of electricity crackled and chased after the crown. Both were extremely fast. After a short while, Grimm's control over the power of annihilation reached its limit, and the crown escaped.

"Ah! You have destroyed one of my all-seeing eyes, wizard! I will make your soul tremble in my mouth for ten thousand years!"

The Nightmare King's projection roared, and of the millions of worms, only four remained. Urged on by the Nightmare King's projection, they coalesced into one, growing into a thousand-meter-long monster, like a giant lizard with blood-red skin, full of explosive power, its head growing from the tip of its flexible long tail.

The monster's strength seemed to be no less than that of the Thousand Prison King. With a "thud," it landed next to the projection of the Nightmare King, who was enraged and irritable due to the loss of his Omniscient Eye.

"Kill him!"

The Nightmare King was gathering Nightmare Power, seemingly preparing other Nightmare Powers for Grimm, while urging the monsters around him to entangle Grimm.

"what!"

An astonishing scene unfolded.

Swift as lightning, the monster's agile long tail flashed by, and its blood-stained maw swallowed the unprepared Nightmare King whole, followed by crunching sounds.

"Hehehehehe, it seems you've lost not only your all-seeing eye, but also your wisdom, you fool."

Grimm grinned as he stroked the docile monster beside him, which resembled a kitten. This monster, which had just devoured the projection of the Nightmare King, showed an expression of immense pleasure and enjoyment under Grimm's caresses. Its thousand-meter-long body rubbed against him obediently, as if it wanted more of Grimm's touch.
