Wizard's Journey

Chapter 507 The Power of Fright

Deep within the mountains, inside a large castle.

In the nightmare world, the crimson crescent moon formed an eerie arc, and ominous light shone into the castle through the windows, illuminating the various red, hairy monkeys with their different shapes, making them appear ugly and illusory.

During the day, all the terrifying creatures in the nightmare world are illuminated as if by the light of awakening, unable to perceive each other, making the entire nightmare world seem like a lonely world of one person.

But at night, the nightmare begins!

Thousands of terrifying creatures of all sizes from the nightmare world sat huddled together.

Inside the castle, there are five tables, each several hundred meters long. The tall red-haired monkeys are generally over ten meters tall, while the smaller ones are only a little over one meter tall, filling all five tables.

At the very top of the hall, on a high seat, stood a giant red-haired monkey over thirty meters tall, its blood-red third eye blinking incessantly in the center of its forehead.

This was the King of Dreams, much larger than any of the red, hairy monkeys Green had encountered since arriving in the Nightmare World.

"Hehehe, welcome to Dream Castle."

As the King of Dreams spoke, one Nightmare Shadow after another flew in from outside the hall.

These nightmarish shadows, either held aloft alone or carried in groups, brought in thousands of plates of varying sizes.

The plate was filled with neatly arranged, carefully selected strands of a woman's hair.

This reminded Green of the endless stream of hair he vomited when the Nightmare Shadow flared up outside, or when that powerful, terrifying creature or the Lord of Dread tried to drag him into the Nightmare World.

These are all hairs that naturally fell out after the Nightmare Shadow disturbed the sleep of humans in the wizarding world.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..."

A hoarse, excited laugh came from the mouth of an ugly, long-haired monkey about two meters away from Green.

The long-haired monkey parted the long hair on its face, pursed its mouth, and sucked the hair in as if it were eating noodles, chewing it with great relish and enjoyment.

"What, not to your liking? Want to try mine?"

At this moment, Grimm had already put away the Awakening Lamp, dispelled the original will of the Wizarding World, and reverted to the body of a terrifying creature from the Nightmare World.

Seeing that Green wasn't making a move like other terrifying creatures in the nightmare world, and instead savoring the hair on his plate, Mengting assumed that the long black hair on Green's plate didn't suit his taste, and actually pushed her own plate in front of Green.

The hair on this plate is a large plate of red, wavy curls.

After nodding to Mengting, Green actually lowered his head and silently began to suck on the hair, devouring it like a terrifying creature!

Although he felt extreme disgust, this was something the dark wizard had to endure after putting on a disguise.

however……

"Hmm? This feeling!"

But the moment Green absorbed the hair, a strange heat flowed through his entire body, bringing an indescribable comfort, as if some kind of life potential had been enhanced!

Or rather, Green's talent for sensing dimensional gaps has been activated in some way!

This……

This was something Green had never expected. To become a terrifying creature in the nightmare world and have such an ability?

Next to Green, Mengting finished sucking up the black hair and leaned back in the wooden chair with a satisfied look. Looking at the nearly 100-meter-high ceiling in the hall, she murmured, "Lin Mo, when do you think we'll have the same abilities as the King of Dreams? He actually changed this castle in the Nightmare World and became the third servant of the Great Nightmare Mud Fear Demon King."

Lin Mo was the disguised name that Green told the other party; it was meaningless.

The fact that this Dream King was able to alter the castle within the Nightmare World, creating an architectural situation completely different from its original location in the Wizarding World, is itself a manifestation that transcends the level of ordinary terrifying creatures in the Nightmare World.

If the terrifying creatures of the Nightmare World are equivalent to formal wizards in the Wizarding World, and the Dreadlords are equivalent to True Spirit Wizards, then the status of these demon lord messengers in the Nightmare World is probably that of Stigmata Wizards.

The Demon King's servants each possess the powerful ability to alter localized environments within the nightmare world.

"I don't know, it'll probably never be possible."

Green gave a perfunctory answer, but a persistent question lingered in his mind: how did the terrifying creatures of the nightmare world become so powerful?

Clearly, given the life characteristics of these terrifying creatures in the nightmare world, they could not possibly be the result of any kind of physical evolution, mental evolution, or energy evolution.

Moreover, their evolved behavior is an evolution that has a stronger impact on nightmares!

"Hmph, if other Fallen Ones said they could never reach the level of the King of Dreams, I would believe it. But with your hidden nightmare power, you can almost hide under the protection of those wizards' rules. That's equivalent to being able to spread the Ashes of Fallen Ones at will here. Countless Nightmare Shadows collect your power of terror. Even if one day you become a new King of Fear in the Nightmare World, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

The power of fright?

Emotion collection!

These nightmare creatures evolved in the same way as the Black Wizard, except that instead of the Black Wizard's power of despair, they used the power of terror.

It seems that the method of collecting the power of fright must be similar to that of the power of despair, only having a certain amplifying effect on attacks within a single species.

Once the power of fear is collected to a certain extent, the terrifying creatures of the nightmare world will have a stronger impact on the dreams of the collected species, and may even affect the environment of the entire nightmare world, just like those fear demons.

This kind of emotion collection is worth studying!

The numerous ugly, red, long-haired monkeys in the hall, after devouring the hair feast served by the King of Dreams, burst into laughter, all while awaiting the summons and instructions from the King of Dreams, who sat high above them.

"Heh heh heh heh, once that wizard enters this world, my task for you is to try and kill him!"

The King of Dreams spoke in a somber tone.

"What?"

"How is that possible!"

"In that case, killing him would be tantamount to failure, as he would awaken from fear!"

The terrifying creatures of the Nightmare World were confused by the Dream King's demands: killing humans in the nightmares was not impossible, but the only punishment these humans would receive was waking up in the middle of the night.

Moreover, killing a dreamer who is protected by the fundamental rules of the world within a spacetime distortion is extremely difficult.

The King of Dreams pressed down with his hands covered in long red hair, and the blood-red eye of the third eye on his forehead rolled.

"And I will play its slave, crushing you one by one, unleashing its deepest, most savage desires, dragging it into a nightmare world where it continues to vent its desires even after the natural awakening of dawn, thus completing its rebirth!"

Crush...

The terrifying creatures of the Nightmare World cannot be killed, much like Solam's immortality!

"Hmm? Such a strong wizarding scent!"

Just then, the giant doors of the castle hall creaked open, and a giant red-haired monkey, no less than the King of Dreams in height, walked into the hall and peered inside.
