Wizard's Journey

Chapter 538 Dragging into a Nightmare

into the night.

Compared to the once backward and quiet, dark night scene of Mothfrog City, there are still many places in Mothfrog City that are brightly lit, and even some bustling streets have begun to be illuminated by magic lamps.

"Vivian."

Vivian, who was looking after the children in the orphanage and covering the snoring little ones with blankets, turned around and looked at the figure in the moonlight outside the door.

"Senior Brother Green!?"

Over the years, Green has begun to integrate into the lives of ordinary people, busy with all sorts of miscellaneous things every day.

Without the mask of truth obscuring his face, Green's relatively aged appearance after his failed advancement was marked by fine wrinkles, and beneath his golden hair were a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.

"Um."

Step by step, Green entered the room, glanced at the sleeping orphans, and then came to Vivian.

"You've worked hard these past few years."

Although only a few years have passed, Green's Mothfrog City has developed quite well and entered the virtuous cycle that Green envisioned.

If everything goes smoothly in the future, Green is quite confident that he will receive the "Male Poison Body Refinement" notebook reward from the Holy Ancestor of the Netherworld Heart.

"What are you talking about, senior? I think this is the life I want! Watching these kids grow up day by day, just like the kids I raised myself, I feel a joy I've never felt before."

Vivian smiled and led Green toward the outside of the orphanage, the candlelight from the lantern she carried flickering in her hand.

"Senior brother, what brings you here today?"

Green followed Vivian to one of her rooms, sat down in a chair, took a sip of the tea Vivian poured for him, and looked at the questioning look in Vivian's eyes, as if recalling the first time he saw her with his mentor Peranos more than a hundred years ago.

Now, only a little over a hundred years have passed, but the flame of her soul has already withered, as faint as the flickering candle in a lantern.

"Vivian, I have a way that might allow you to advance to the rank of a full-fledged wizard in a short time!"

Green suddenly said something that left Vivian speechless and incredulous, causing her hand, which was holding a teacup, to tremble.

"Senior brother, you...?"

Vivian sounded a little breathless.

Green gently placed the teacup on the table and said with utmost seriousness, "I have a way that might allow you to become a formal wizard!"

Silence, deathly silence!

After a long while, Vivian finally came to her senses, staring at Grimm in disbelief and asking, "Senior brother, do you really have a way to make me a formal wizard? What way? A fragment of the Heart of the Wizarding World?"

"No. As for what method, I don't know, but I know that as long as that great being is willing to help you, she will definitely find a way!"

"Green said through gritted teeth."

"Who?"

"A True Spirit Wizard! A newly promoted Great True Spirit Wizard who completed a True Spirit Offering ten years ago, a True Spirit Wizard who changed the rules of the Nightmare World!"

Green mentioned someone Vivian couldn't believe: a True Spirit Wizard!?

For Vivian, even the Saint Mark Wizard was just a legendary existence. She felt suffocated even when she stood in the same hall as her master, the Netherworld Heart, let alone the True Spirit Wizard.

It took Green a full half-hour of time to finish explaining the rules of the nightmare world and the story of the nightmare wizard.

Vivian looked at Green, and the hope he gave her seemed to ignite a longing for a new life within her. Her cloudy eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked as she asked, "Senior brother, what should I do?"

Green knew that Vivian was already prepared to become a nightmare wizard.

"The One Circle Nightmare Tower is not yet fully completed, so I cannot directly take you from the One Circle Nightmare Cave to the One Circle Nightmare Tower. Therefore, I can only..."

Green took out a small bottle of medicine and poured out a black pill.

"Eat it."

"Um."

Without hesitation, Vivian nodded, picked up the pill that emitted a strange, sweet fragrance, and swallowed it. Just a few breaths later, she felt weak and her head was spinning.

With a thud, Vivian collapsed onto the table. Green silently got up, picked her up, and placed her on the wooden bed in the room.

The bed represents the "door" to the world of nightmares or even the world of dreams.

So now...

The Dreadlords within the Nightmare World sought to forcibly drag a human protected by the rules of the Wizarding World into the Nightmare World, requiring the full power of another Dreadlord's fear to accomplish this. Grimm, of course, was unwilling to dispel his own power of fear, becoming a Nightmare Wizard Apprentice and thus losing the ability to freely enter and exit the Nightmare World.

But if Grimm is a nightmare wizard outside the nightmare world...

A chill swept over him, and Green suddenly drew an ice blade, slashing it towards his own chest.

Immediately following the rejection of the body transformation technique, an invisible, transparent heart shrouded in black mist appeared.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

This is the Heart of Dreams, the ability to infiltrate other people's dreams, possessing a similar ability to the King of Nightmare Worlds.

Slowly, Green placed the Dream Heart, shrouded in black mist, on Vivian's chest. Under the influence of the Transformation Technique, the wound on his chest healed rapidly, like intertwined tentacles.

The moment the Dream Heart touched Vivian, it entered her body.

Under Green's gaze, Vivian's body seemed to contort slightly, as waves of terror enveloped her, and the grotesque, twisted handprints were faintly visible on her skin.

"Not enough?"

After thinking for a moment, Green opened his mouth and spat out strands of hair swirling with nightmare power.

These were the hairs that Green had eaten in the nightmare world, and Green then placed these black, misty hairs on Vivian as well.

Like the Heart of Dreams, these strands of hair burrowed into Vivian's body the instant they touched her.

As if she had been greatly stimulated, the hideous bruises and handprints on Vivian's body increased, and strands of hair moved and flowed under Vivian's skin, making her look extremely terrifying.

call……

Green breathed a sigh of relief. Vivian's hidden Nightmare Shadow Curse had finally been activated, so things would be much easier from now on.

Whether she succeeds or not depends on Vivian's fate.

Thinking this, Green began to gather the power of fear. After feeling his mental strength suddenly drop by a few points, the world around Green began to distort, and then seemed to return to normal.

"Have we entered the nightmare world?"

Green first glanced at the wooden bed beside him, then walked out of the room, looked at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, and nodded.

It seems we have indeed entered a nightmare world.

Although the True Spirit Wizard Yiyuan dispelled all the rules of the Fear Demon King in this illusory world and replaced the former Fear Demon King to rule this illusory world, some basic rules of the Nightmare World will not change.

After all, this is just a fragment or a branch of the dream world.

With a creak, Green returned to his room. He sensed something between the nightmare world and the wizarding world in the crack in the wooden bed. He gently pulled it out, and an ugly, long-haired red monkey appeared.

This is how Grimm, in his capacity as the "Dreadlord," pulls humans cursed by the Shadow of Nightmares into the Nightmare World!

"Senior Brother Grimm, is this the Nightmare World?"

The ugly monkey shook its head, feeling a little dizzy, and asked Green.

Unlike Vivian, Green was no longer a nightmare creature, so in Vivian's eyes, Green was still a wizard.

Feeling something was off, Green quickly took out the Awakening Lamp. Under its light, Vivian returned to her original form from the red-haired monkey. Green then handed the Awakening Lamp to Vivian and opened another dimensional gap, revealing the Shadow Starfall.

With a creak, the upper hatch of the Shadow Starfall opened.

"Go inside. This is my mount, a magical artifact. It will take you to the vicinity of the One Circle Nightmare Tower within a few months. But remember, never leave my mount. You must wait for me to personally negotiate with the One Circle True Spirit Wizard. Otherwise, if a wizard apprentice appears near a True Spirit Wizard, the consequences are obvious, aren't they?"

Vivian swallowed hard and nodded.

With a creak, the Spy Shadow Meteor hatch closed and, under Green's command, flew rapidly from the Sixth Ring Holy Tower of the Nightmare World towards the First Ring Nightmare Holy Tower, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Vivian has absolutely no need to worry about the various problems Green encountered in the nightmare world.

The Nightmare World of the past was a decadent world suppressed by ancient wizards, but the current Nightmare World has ushered in a new era, the era of wizards.

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether the True Spirit Wizard of One Circle is interested in the Awakening Light. If we infuse it with the power of fright, hopefully the True Spirit Wizard of One Circle will have some 'stock' left."

With a sigh, the world around Green briefly distorted. After glancing at the full moon obscured by dark clouds in the sky, Green walked towards the city lord's mansion.
