Wizard's Journey

Chapter 499 Nightmare World

A dark red, ominous aura lingered in the sky and in every corner of the eye.

Green half-supported himself as he got up, nervously looking around. All he could see were distorted scenes within a hundred meters, followed by a dark red nightmare mist filled with an ominous aura.

The flat land seemed to be a path, and not far away was a dense forest. It was quiet, without any signs of human presence or life.

The ground was damp and muddy, crawling everywhere with disgusting black worms as thick as a finger joint, their backs patterned with weeping and wailing patterns, burrowing and wriggling in the muddy earth.

Greene's appearance changed from that of a locust-man to that of a wizard.

After confirming that he had indeed truly fallen into a nightmare world, he wiped the wizard's book, which was covered in mud and disgusting insects, put it in his pocket, and cautiously bent down to observe his surroundings.

"Nightmare World..."

Green opened his palm and looked over.

At this moment, Green's palm was somewhat twisted, emitting a dark red mist from the nightmare world, as if it had become a part of the nightmare world.

The Wizard's Book, however, was clearly unaffected, and the ram's horn and skull on the magic wand were also unaffected.

"Hachi, Hachi?"

Green called out, but received no response from Xiao Ba.

Puzzled, Green opened a dimensional gap and saw Hachi sleeping soundly. No matter how Green called out to him, Hachi showed no sign of waking up.

With a flicker of his eyes beneath the surface of truth, Green placed Little Eight back into the dimensional rift.

"Nightmare world... is it asleep, or am I asleep?"

Even while trapped in the nightmare world, Green continues to use his wizarding wisdom to think and analyze.

Everything happened so suddenly. He was originally waiting for the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard to rescue him in the Flame Soul World, the First Locust God Kingdom. Several months have passed, but the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard has undergone some kind of change. The Nightmare Shadow of the Ram Horned Skull Magic Staff has lost the seal of its magic source, and he has fallen into a nightmare world.

Could it be that... the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard has fallen?!

Startled by his own astonishing guess, Green quickly dismissed it. How could such a powerful Saint Mark Wizard just fall like that, unless it was the Endless Sovereign who made the move?

Rather than this speculation, Greene was more inclined to believe that the Black Tower Wizarding Academy had been attacked, or that the Black Tower Stigmata Wizards had been forced to break their contract for some reason and were thus compensating with this wizarding book.

What exactly happened to the Black Sota Saint Mark Wizard when I descended upon the Kingdom of the Locust God?

Amidst constant speculation, Green followed the path step by step through the muddy ground and the disgusting, twisted soft-bodied worms that were everywhere, until he reached the foot of a black stone mountain.

The black stone mountain is covered with jagged rocks, and tall, twisted trees take root and grow there. Black chains hang down from the top of the mountain.

"here it is……"

Grimm stared at the massive black mountain and was suddenly taken aback. This was actually the back mountain on the way from the Gem Sea to the Black Tower Wizarding Academy, the same back mountain he had seen the first night he entered the Black Tower Wizarding Academy.

crunch...

After the First Civilization War, the Wizard Civilization defeated the Alien Nightmare Civilization. Subsequently, the Nightmare World parasitized the Wizard World, attempting to transform into the Wizard Nightmare Civilization. So that's how it was!

Although everything here exudes the ominous, mysterious, and terrifying atmosphere unique to the Nightmare World, it is a true wizarding world illusion, the only thing missing is all the life in the wizarding world.

"Hmm? No, in the wizarding world, these guardian trees of the academies also possessed a will of life!"

Suddenly, something occurred to Green. He ran towards the black rocks and shouted at the twisted, giant black tree, "Open the academy gates!"

Splash splash splash splash...

The twisted giant trees did not answer Green's questions, seemingly having no will at all, just ordinary giant trees from the nightmare world. However, as Green approached the black mountain, the black chains hanging down the mountain began to vibrate due to the strange trees.

Green stopped in his tracks, no longer daring to approach.

At this moment, a large number of gray flames suddenly gathered in the air, and a giant stone face more than ten meters tall appeared, looking in all directions. With the sound of strange trees, it quickly locked onto Green, which was not in its sight.

"You filthy thing, if you don't want to be purified, get out of my way right now!"

The giant stone face seemed unable to leave the Blacksorta Wizarding Academy's territory, roaring at Grimm. Corroded by the other party's eerie power, Grimm's body twisted, and the nightmare aura continued to dissipate in all directions.

"Dean Shi Jian!?"

Green could recognize the voice; it was indeed the academy dean upstairs from Professor Peranos, the one who always carried the gray stone sword.

"Dean, I am..."

It seemed that the other party could not truly sense Grimm at all, but rather perceived Grimm through these strange trees in the wizarding world that had been dormant for a long time and only occasionally woke up.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Suddenly, dozens of owls flew out, their green eyes like the pupils of demons, searching for prey in the eerie, dark red sky.

Soon, guided by the strange tree, the owls found Green and swooped down.

The Academy Guardians!?

Surprised, Green suddenly realized something and tried to activate the primal will of the wizarding world. Instantly, the nightmare aura on Green's body began to lessen, and his distorted figure became more stable.

Cuckoo!

However, these guardian owls of the academy still swooped down with their eyes glowing eerie green, seemingly unaware of Grimm's fundamental will of the wizarding world.

Left with no other choice, Green swung his Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand in an attempt to resist.

With a "poof," the owls passed through the Ram Horned Skull Magic Wand and then through Green's solidified body, without making contact between the two sides in the same world.

As Green's body gradually solidified, it seemed that he was no longer the nightmare shadow of the nightmare world, but an alien creature trapped in the nightmare world.

goo goo...

After seven or eight owls circled above Green's head for a short while, the strange trees could still "see" Green and guide the Gray Stone Skull and the Academy Guardian Owls, which seemed to the Gray Stone Skull as guidance that appeared out of nowhere.

The owl guardian of Blacksorta Wizarding Academy, puzzled, flew back into the academy with a "coo coo coo".

After looking around for a while, the stone giant in the sky dispersed into countless gray flames and gradually dissipated.

Beneath the surface of truth, Green held his breath, his eyes darting around.

At this moment, Grimm activated the primal will of the wizarding world. Although he solidified most of the nightmare aura in his body and his body was no longer distorted, some subtle parts still emitted a barely perceptible nightmare aura. This meant that Grimm had not completely escaped the realm of nightmare shadows.

"Even a Black Tower Wizarding Academy has such protection. If I were to venture into the Holy Tower's territory, I would likely be discovered and hunted down by the Holy Tower's powerful guardians immediately. No, I absolutely cannot take the risk."

After taking a deep breath, Green wanted to try flying across the Blackrock Mountains to take a look inside the Blackrock Wizarding Academy.

Although Green had a strange feeling that there would be some unknown danger once he took off and flew, he wanted to give it a try since he was near the academy.

With that thought in mind, Green tried to mobilize the power of nature, and his body gradually floated up.

The ominous feeling of oppression grew stronger and stronger. Finally, as Green's flight altitude reached a certain critical value, about twenty meters, a crack more than thirty meters long suddenly opened up above his head, revealing a neatly arranged, white, scarlet tongue.

call!

Startled, Green quickly plummeted to the ground. The tongue in the sky chased after Green closely before crashing into the ground with a loud thud, creating a large crater, which Green barely avoided.

Without saying a word, Greene fled desperately into the distance.

The giant maw in mid-air seemed to have lost its connection with Green on the ground.

"Little wizard, you can't escape. I know you've come into this world. I will find you, I will find you, I will find you... You will become my new body, and be reborn!"

This voice was the terrifying, unknown creature that dragged Green into a nightmare world.

Green ran as fast as he could, not daring to stop for even a moment.
