Wizard's Journey

Chapter 505 "The Tooth Fairy Tale"

Two years later.

At night, they used the Awakening Lamp and the original will of the Wizarding World to hide themselves. They stopped several times along the way and encountered some Nightmare Shadows to conduct some observations and experiments.

During the day, he traveled to find the Holy Mark Wizard of the Staff of Judgment and continuously studied the knowledge of the Ice Primal Wizard. Gradually, Grimm arrived at the heart of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower in the Nightmare World.

It is now almost certain that Green has indeed become an ordinary, terrifying creature in the nightmare world.

Whenever Green lingers too long in one place in the nightmare world, nightmare shadows will inexplicably appear in a large area nearby, turning some originally beautiful dreams into nightmares.

This seems to be due to Green's strong desire to leave this world.

The nightmare rules of the dream world then influence the surrounding world through the aura of nightmares.

In other words, other terrifying creatures in the nightmare world also influence the surrounding environment and affect the dreams of humans in the wizarding world.

The nightmare world has countless entrances, yet it's impossible to get through. For Grimm, who has transformed into a terrifying creature, it's virtually impossible to influence even a wizard apprentice through dreams.

Throughout his journey and observations, Green was not rushing to find the traces of the Marksman Wizard of the Judgment Staff.

Over the course of two years, Green believed he had begun to adapt to the basic rules of the nightmare world, and even encountered two giant, ugly, red-haired monkeys flying in the sky along the way.

It was only because Green was in a materialized state, empowered by the Awakening Lamp and the will of the Wizarding World, that he was not discovered by the careless opponent, thus avoiding potential danger.

Without a doubt, these terrifying creatures possess their own intelligent thinking.

However, when Green arrived at the rich area in the heart of the Seven Rings Tower, he discovered something extraordinary, which gave him a deeper understanding of the Nightmare World and even the Wizarding World.

The black sun gradually sets, the blood-red crescent moon rises, the nightmare fog rises, and a new night is about to begin in the nightmare world.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Large swaths of nightmare fog rose from buildings, the ground, and plants. As the dream world descended into a desolate, oppressive, and ominous atmosphere, groups of small elves in red, yellow, and green appeared in the sky above this nightmare world located in the central region of the Seven Rings Holy Tower, flying towards various human settlements and cities.

Green could clearly sense the fear that the Nightmare Shadows had towards these little sprites.

Even as a terrifying creature from my own nightmare world, I felt a sense of oppression near my natural enemies and was unwilling to approach these tricolor sprites.

"What is this? A new set of rules for a nightmare world?"

Green couldn't quite understand.

The wizarding world must have some means of suppressing the nightmare world, which was something Green had already anticipated. However, these tricolor sprites flapping their wings were definitely not creatures from the nightmare world and had no wizarding aura whatsoever.

What Green sensed from them was a rule!

The Nightmare World offers virtually no resources to the Wizarding World, so although this illusory world is part of the Wizarding World, it is a part that wizards ignore.

Ordinary wizards cannot enter this world, and even the very few wizards who have the ability to enter this world do not enter casually.

After all, even powerful Stigmata Wizards and True Spirit Wizards have to pay a huge price to enter and leave this illusory world, which is closely connected to the Wizarding World, and they also have to abide by the rules of the Wizarding World's Holy Tower in this world.

The Nightmare World is only a nightmare world because of the appearance of those terrifying creatures.

In fact, it is just a polluted fragment of the dream world. The dream world is a virtual world that any creature can easily enter, but like many advanced virtual worlds, it is extremely difficult to fully enter.

Leaning on the ram-horned skull magic staff in one hand, he walked across the muddy ground, carrying the Awakening Lamp in the other. A hundred meters away, shrouded in an unpleasant and oppressive nightmare mist, Grimm was like a lonely traveler in the night. Beneath the mask of truth, his eyes looked up at the sky as flocks of elves flew past, lost in thought.

Perhaps these little sprites are the clues that led me to the Sacred Mark Wizard of the Judgment Staff?

Since the Black Tower Stigmata Wizard said that this Stigmata Wizard of the Judgment Staff was his only hope to leave the Nightmare World, the first thing Green thought of was the offering of True Spirit!

It is highly likely that this Stigmata Wizard of the Judgment Staff in the Nightmare World is a supreme Stigmata Wizard who is making a true spiritual sacrifice for humanity in the Wizarding World!

Because without a doubt, the Nightmare World, as an evil parasitic world of the Wizarding World, while unable to fundamentally affect the Wizarding World, can indirectly cause some adverse effects.

In the wizarding world, where humans are terrifying, no one would expect to have a terrible nightmare before going to sleep, right?

Therefore, it is clear that if a supreme Stigmata Wizard could gradually weaken or even eliminate the influence of the Nightmare World on humanity, then for the humans of the Wizarding World, it would be sufficient to reach the rule of True Spirit Offering.

"These tricolor sprites are only found in the central area of ​​the Holy Tower, but not in the outer area of ​​the Wizard Academy's Holy Tower. Why is that? Let's try to understand the essence of the mysterious rules governing these tricolor sprites."

As Grimm's knowledge of the wizarding world increased, he gained some vague understanding of its rules.

The moment a wizard first comes into direct contact with the rules of the world is when the true spirit of a Saint Mark Wizard is offered up!

The rules of the world may seem like an unfathomable and untouchable supreme power to low-level wizards, but for those Stigmata Wizards, the offering of the True Spirit is the creation of a rule, and also the foundation of the rules that the True Spirit Wizards master.

Green speculated that these wonderful tricolor sprites' mysterious rules were unlikely to have arisen naturally between the wizarding world and the nightmare world, appearing out of nowhere. Rather, they were probably rules created by a stigma wizard during a true spirit offering.

This Stigmata Wizard might very well be the same Staff of Judgment that the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard spoke of.

Like a lone night wanderer carrying a lantern, Green followed the trail of the tricolor sprite that had landed in the nearest part of this unknown city, walking briskly towards it.

The awakened lamp illuminated the ground, and the damp mud and the black worms with crying faces all returned to the bluestone streets.

If, during the night, Grimm of the Nightmare World does not summon the primal will of the Wizarding World and take out the Awakening Lamp, thus maintaining the form of the terrifying creatures of the Nightmare World, then all the disgusting worms near Grimm will turn their crying face patterns on their backs toward him.

Green guessed that these were the rules created by the fear lords of the nightmare world!

In the Nightmare World, the Dreadlord is equivalent to the God of Gods or the Supreme Ruler of the Endless World.

Unfortunately, these fear demons are merely the rulers of the nightmare world, which is far too small compared to the endless world; it is just an illusion.

These dreadlords, though possessing some extraordinary and incomprehensible abilities, are merely incomprehensible abilities within the Nightmare World, and are absolutely countered by any Stigmata Wizard in the Wizarding World.

As the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard once said, for other worlds that do not understand the Nightmare World, it is a terrifying world that is almost impossible to defeat. But for the Stigmata Wizards of the Wizarding World, these Nightmare creatures are nothing more than insects that pollute spiritual power.

Maybe……

As he came to understand the rules of the Nightmare World, Green gradually realized that the nightmare creature that was eyeing him might not be the terrifying creature he had previously guessed, but a fear demon king!

Temporarily, Green has been able to discover a total of four rules of the Nightmare World through two years of observation.

The rules of filth and mud beneath one's feet, the rules of black worms, the rules of material corruption, the rules of nightmare fog.

On the first day when he was trapped in the nightmare world, Grimm flew into the sky at night and was discovered and attacked by the nightmare creature that had been targeting him. It is speculated that if the other party is really a Dreadlord, it is very likely that it is the Dreadlord who created the rules of the Nightmare Mist in this illusory world!

Green suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the distance, a tricolor sprite flew out of the house. Since Grimm himself was a nightmare creature, he still had to keep a sufficient distance and hide from this sprite, which, although it might be a rule of the Judgment Staff, was a natural enemy of creatures in the nightmare world.

They are just rules.

"Huh? A tooth!?"

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's eagle eye clearly saw the tricolor sprite carrying a human tooth out of the room and flying into the sky.

Puzzled, Green pushed open the door to the room with a creak.

Judging from the furnishings inside, it appears to be the room of an ordinary human boy, who is about six to nine years old. Even breathing sounds emanate from the crack in the three-colored world.

"It really is a rule that protects the dreams of the human world."

Grimm stared at the crack in the three-colored world and muttered to himself. As the most prosperous area in the central part of the Holy Tower of the Wizarding World, it must be more favored by the rules of the Wizarding World. In contrast, the relatively poor area of ​​the Academy had never seen such a thing before.

After a few hourglasses.

In the nightmare world, the crimson crescent moon gradually sets, and the black full sun gradually rises; a new day is about to begin.

A little boy's joyful voice came from the gradually healing crack in the world within the room.

"Dad, Mom, look! My tooth under my pillow is gone! The Tooth Fairy took my tooth and gave me a blessing!"

In the nightmare world, Green froze, his eyes glazed over.

"Tooth Fairy? This seems to be a wonderful thing created in a book called 'Tooth Fairy Tale' from the wizarding world. Could it be that this tale is a way for the true spirit of the Marksman of the Staff of Judgment to offer sacrifices, creating beauty for humanity in the wizarding world and banishing nightmares!?"

My thoughts suddenly became clear.

"The reason why this three-colored fairy rule didn't emerge in the Nightmare World's regional academy is because the poor and backward children there didn't have access to 'The Tooth Fairy's Tale,' thus preventing the Nightmare World from developing this protective rule?"
