Wizard's Journey

Chapter 255 The Shadow of Nightmare

For a month straight, Green transformed into a blurry black mass, rapidly moving through the air towards the space fortress.

Originally, Green had several other destinations he planned to visit in this world, but due to the strange events in the Banon Phantom Realm, he had given up on those plans.

Over the past month, Green's expression, beneath his facade of truth, has grown increasingly grim.

His arms, hands, and thighs were covered with a dense array of bruises and branding marks, in all sorts of grotesque and grotesque shapes. Green had initially thought they were just temporary bruises, but now it seemed they were not so simple.

These bruises appear to be caused by some kind of energy that puts cells to dormancy, and are extremely difficult to detect, as if they are not even in the same dimension, yet they do indeed affect Green.

Although no other effects of these bruises on Green have been found yet, it is unlikely to be that simple.

Thus, Green went all out and arrived at the Mysterious Dead Zone.

The once mysterious Amonro Sanctuary and Stormwind City have been completely destroyed by the war of the Witcher Wizards and the Great Cataclysm. In their place stands a crimson second sun in the sky, and countless mysterious Witcher Wizards, in cooperation with the Lava Giants, are sweeping away creatures and forces that resist the wizards' will.

The Demon Hunting Expedition will not end until the day when wizard intelligence reports that there are no more hostile creatures or forces in the world that can threaten a level three wizard.

Therefore, the highest level of demon hunting mission in this world is to hunt down the enigmatic King Amonro the Prophet.

Of course, such high-end demon-hunting missions have nothing to do with low-level demon-hunting wizards like Grimm for the time being.

call out!

Looking up at the towering Origin Space Fortress in the sky, a sense of security gradually spread. Green temporarily put aside his worries and flew upwards while taking out the crystal ball to contact his second uncle, Dadalon.

Drip, drip, drip...

After a while, D'Artagnan connected with the Grimm Crystal Ball. D'Artagnan seemed to be busy with something. His stitched-up face under his disheveled black hair looked tired. He had also taken off his metal armor and put on a loose wizard's robe.

"Green, what's wrong?"

Through the crystal ball, D'Artagnan looked at Grin's bloodshot eyes beneath the Face of Truth, his body shrouded in a vast expanse of elemental power. He frowned and asked, setting down a bottle of experimental solution in his hand. Inside, two completely different colored solutions were reacting, constantly bubbling and gurgling.

"Uncle-Master Daddaron, some unexpected things happened while I was traveling in this world." Green's voice was a little hoarse, and one could faintly hear the panic hidden in his heart.

Hearing Green's voice, D'Addaron asked in surprise, "Is it serious?"

Inside the crystal ball, Green nodded solemnly, and slowly, an arm covered with all sorts of shapes and dense bruises stretched out, already slightly purplish.

This is……

After a moment of stunned silence, suddenly, beneath D'Artagnan's disheveled black hair, his pupils narrowed sharply, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Shadow of Nightmares!"

Shadow of Nightmare?

What is this?

Green was puzzled, but judging from the shock in his second uncle's eyes, this thing was definitely not something simple.

"Grimm, do you have some kind of alien creature specimen on you? And did you go to the End of the World during your travels?"

Alien biological specimens, the face of truth?

As for the "Tail of the World," it is a common term used by wizards to refer to the chaotic layer where natural energy and void energy converge in each world. Because the world naturally absorbs some extra energy, a "Tail of the World" is created in a relatively weak space, which releases energy into random, unknown places in the void world to achieve internal balance.

Could it be that my experience is related to these two conditions?

Nodding slowly, Green said, "I have some alien specimens left over from the first war of civilizations in the ancient wizarding world. I traveled around this world before, and it is very likely that I reached the end of the world."

D'Along no longer cared about the reaction of the test tube in his hand, threw it aside, and said seriously to Green, "Come to my room immediately, I will take you to see the Tomb of Words Stigmata Wizard."

After saying that, D'Addaron turned off the crystal ball.

Green's face was somewhat pale; it seemed that something serious had indeed happened this time. This Nightmare Shadow was no ordinary being.

"The Shadow of Nightmares?"

The myna bird on Green's shoulder rubbed its head and mumbled sleepily, "I think I heard that old bastard mention before that the Nightmare Shadow, also called the Nightmare Under the Bed, is a curse hidden in the body of every wizard."

Grimm stared at the myna bird in disbelief, saying, "A curse placed on all wizards? How is that possible? What kind of world has such a powerful ability?"

"Of course, it's the Alien Nightmare World, the first civilized world that was defeated by countless ancient wizards."

…………

Squeak!

After opening the magic door to his second uncle Daddaron's room, Grimm saw another person. He was taken aback, quickly bowed, and said, "The Tomb of Words Saint Mark Wizard."

Green was slightly surprised. Wasn't he supposed to be going to see the Tomb of the Holy Mark Wizard? The other party had actually come in person.

Beside him, Dadalon's second senior uncle, Chao Green, nodded silently and said, "I can't help you with your situation. I can only ask the Tomb of Words Stigmata Wizard to make a judgment. You may not understand the meaning of this, but to be honest, Green, your situation is not good."

Green's face was full of bitterness.

The Tomb of the Holy Mark Wizard looked at Green with great interest, as if he were looking at a precious experimental subject.

After a while, the Tomb of Words Saint Mark Wizard nodded, the fragrance of the flower wreath on his head wafting around him, and said, "Hmm, it is indeed the Shadow of Nightmare. I never thought that after so many eras in the wizarding world, there would still be a junior wizard whose curse manifests."

Green's face darkened. "Great Tomb-Slaying Stigmata Wizard," he said, "what will be the consequences once this curse takes effect?"

"What will be the consequences?"

After thinking for a moment, the Tomb of the Holy Mark Wizard said, "According to the records of ancient wizards, many wizards in ancient times were cursed by the Nightmare Shadow after defeating the alien Nightmare World. Once it takes effect, the cursed wizard will be dragged into the Nightmare World. With your current abilities, once you enter the Nightmare World, you will be lost forever and will never be able to escape."

"Nightmare World! What kind of terrifying world is this?"

Green's lips turned purple and his face turned pale. This curse was really bizarre and shouldn't be something that someone at Green's level would come into contact with.

"Don't worry, it's not without reason that the ancient wizards were able to defeat the Alien Nightmare World. Our wizarding world is the natural enemy of this world! The Alien Nightmare World is divided into two parts: the Alien World and the Nightmare World. The Alien World has been completely defeated by the ancient wizards and has lost its inheritance. Only a Nightmare World, which exists between reality and illusion, has strange and indestructible rules, remains."

After a pause, the Tomb of Words Saint Mark Wizard continued, "The Nightmare World is incredibly terrifying for most creatures in the Endless World, but for wizards, it is a very interesting world."

interesting?

Faced with the threat of death, Green simply couldn't understand the interesting things the Tomb Stigmata Wizard was saying.

Sensing that Green couldn't comprehend it, the Tomb of Words Saint Mark Wizard shook his head and said, "There are only two ways to completely remove this curse threat: one is to find a True Spirit Wizard to personally unleash their power, and the other is for you to personally travel to the Nightmare World after you advance to Saint Mark Wizard."

This……

Green stared in astonishment at the Tomb of Words Saint Mark Wizard. Become a Saint Mark Wizard? With the help of a True Spirit Wizard?

This is simply an impossible task for Green at his current level.

"Well, while you can't completely remove the curse right now, any Saint Mark Wizard who is willing to expend some of the Wizard Tower's magic power can help you seal it indefinitely until you become a Saint Mark Wizard or die."

Consuming a portion of the Wizard Tower's magic power allocation is essentially equivalent to reducing the strength of some Saint Mark Wizards.

Such a price...

Grimm gritted his teeth and asked, "What price will I have to pay to have you seal this curse?"

"I want all the ancient wizard relics you discover in the ancient ruins! Because only in the ruins of some hidden ancient wizards will specimens of alien creatures appear." The Tomb Words Saint Mark Wizard looked serious.

Green opened his mouth, looking troubled: "This ancient ruin was discovered in the private world of a great Stigmata Wizard. I have no authority to deal with it."

"Hmm? In the fragments of the world? Which Saint Mark Wizard's private world? I will personally negotiate with him!" The Tomb Word Saint Mark Wizard asked confidently, his waist-length emerald green hair swaying gently like a light veil.

Clearly, after obtaining the information, the Tomb of Words Stigmata Wizard would personally negotiate, and even if they couldn't obtain all the relics and treasures, they would likely still gain some benefits.

Green said in a deep voice, "Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard."

The scene fell silent. The Tomb of the Holy Mark Wizard was stunned and remained speechless for a long time.

After a long while, the Stigmata Wizard sighed, got up and left, saying calmly, "After you return to the Wizarding World, go directly to the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard; he will grant your request. As for this curse, as long as you don't sleep in bed or approach the end of the world, you won't be trapped in the Nightmare World for a while."
