ten days later.

With a sound of "poof", the shadow of nightmare in the imprisoning magic seal circle turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated. Green's plan to capture experimental specimens failed again.

Wei Wei is a little disappointed, the plan to capture experimental specimens for several days has failed.

Green didn't show his due frustration, and still maintained the calmness of a wizard. After standing still and thinking for a while, he suddenly blinked his eyes, as if he had discovered something.

A layer of fine black powder appeared on the floor inside the drawing and sealing magic circle, like dust, inconspicuous.

After lightly dipping it with his hands, he wiped it vigorously, and Green confirmed that the black powder that appeared after the shadow of the nightmare dissipated, and not the so-called natural dust.

"Huh!? Looks like I finally found something!"

In joy, Green squatted down.

Tearing off a blank piece of paper, Green used the paper to collect all the black powder on the floor full of * smell little by little, and put it in a transparent glass test tube as a specimen, waiting for the next step of observation.

There is only a thin layer of black ash in the experimental tube, which is insignificant and very rare.

Tick, tick, tick...

After several hours of hourglass time, the sound of the wall clock gradually began to fade away, and a new day was about to pass in the nightmare world.

Green sighed, the powder research in the test tube has not made any progress yet.

The only thing that can be determined is that this seems to have something to do with some horrible creatures in the nightmare world. In a guess without evidence, Green feels that these black soot seem to be the metabolic dander of the horrible creatures!

After collecting all the black ash, Green turned his head and looked at the cracks in the world that were gradually healing on the wooden bed in the room.

"what……"

The sound of stretching and yawning came, which seemed to be the happy voice of a woman who was about to wake up after a good night's sleep.

"Hee hee, sister, you've been in good spirits for the past few days. Don't you have that nightmare?"

The little girl next to her was giggling, and two girls were faintly laughing.

"Well, maybe I have really let it go. After all, things have already happened. We don't need too much emotion in our long journey as a wizard in the future, only loneliness will accompany us. I advise you to stay away from that guy, there is no man. good stuff……"

The short-lived sound gradually ceased as the cracks in the world healed, and the nightmare world returned to silence again. The whole world began to change from the dilapidated, depressing, and ominous at night to the illusory and distorted during the day.

Um?

Green seems to have heard something from the words of these two girls in the wizarding world today.

Perhaps Green's self-generated associations are carried out in the brain. Generally speaking, when a woman talks about a heartless man, she must have a tragedy after a good memory, and love turns to hatred.

As Green who has had a sincere emotional experience. Although due to the boring childhood experience, he is very ignorant of the delicate emotions between human men and women, but he can also appreciate the sincerity of that kind of love in his heart.

Perhaps, the cause of the nightmare shadow in this room is the wizarding world humans themselves?

Is the red-haired ugly monkey the real shape of the nightmare world, or is it the cover of black and gray, and the baby under the awakening light is the scene in the nightmare of the sorceress apprentice?

"Squeak creak..."

With the rising of the black sun in the nightmare world, Green didn't research any black ash all night, and it started to vibrate violently inside the glass test tube.

It seems to be constantly being purified by some mysterious rules of the nightmare world. disappeared.

Green was surprised, and hurriedly collected the remaining black ash in the glass test tube into the dimension gap.

"Is this why I feel very safe during the daytime in the nightmare world?"

Except when just falling into the nightmare world. Green was attacked once by the horrible creature that was staring at him. After more than ten days, Green stayed in this hut to study the shadow of nightmares and the knowledge of ice witchcraft. Try to advance to the second-level wizard.

These days are very peaceful, and there is no danger.

"It seems that there is no way to study the Shadow of Nightmare in the Nightmare World during the day."

Taking out the ice element witchcraft and magic knowledge book, Green suddenly remembered one thing. Sorum's strange talent of immortality has something to do with the existence of the nightmare world! ?

The eyes are flickering. Green gradually let go of his wild thoughts, and began to concentrate on studying the knowledge of ice elemental witchcraft.

...

Another ten days later.

After dispelling the shadow of nightmare again. Glancing at the wall clock that was starting to return to normal, Green fell to the ground. Carefully collect the soot with paper.

The endless world in the wizard's eyes, whether it is the material world, the illusory world or the void world, has a fundamental principle, or the basic principle of the wizard's knowledge, that is, nothing can be created out of nothing, and it must follow an energy and conservation of mass.

The black ash that has disappeared from the shadow of this nightmare must represent a reduction in some aspects.

What Green wants to know is, if he continues to kill this nightmare shadow again and again, and "seal" the black ash it drops in the gap of dimensions, so as not to let the daytime of the nightmare world purify it, go to Added again, what will happen to this nightmare shadow?

Will it die?

With this in mind, Green planned to conduct an experiment to gain a deeper understanding of the secrets of observing the Shadow of Nightmare.

I remember that Mentor Pele Anos once said that if he advances to the Stigmata Wizard and enters the nightmare world, he should try to stay in this world for as long as possible.

Although the nightmare world cannot be completely destroyed, as long as generations of wizards continue to weaken, the limit of these nightmare creatures' parasitic manipulative spiritual power can be infinitely reduced, and it will infinitely approach zero.

That is to say, after the Nightmare Shadow was killed, although it could regenerate infinitely, it was indeed weakened. Even in the past twenty days, Green felt that the Nightmare Shadow on the wall clock in this room had weakened a lot.

This so-called weakening does not refer to its own life, but refers to its ability to forcibly control parasites.

It seems that these black ash represent its parasitic ability.

So, if one day this nightmare shadow can no longer appear black ash after dispelling it, what will happen to it that has lost its ability to control parasites?

...

three months later.

As night fell, the nightmare world began to change from distorted and unreal to dilapidated reality, and the "tick tock" sound of the pendulum of the wall clock in the room gradually became clearer.

After another hourglass time passed.

Green, who had begun to get used to the rules of the nightmare world, naturally closed the wizard knowledge books, and glanced at the cracks in the world that gradually began to appear on the wooden bed, like a twisted whirlpool, with a narrow diameter of less than half a meter.

"Maybe we can get some results today."

Walking to the wall clock, Green waited quietly in the shadow of a nightmare.

Tick, tick, tick...

The pendulum gradually elongated with the "tick" sound, and a black liquid flowed down from the wall clock. This low-level nightmare figure seemed to be a life without intelligence, completely inclined to instinct, or some kind of natural phenomenon in the nightmare world. Fear of death, or showing fear of Green.

But at this time, its weakness is already very obvious.

Facing Grimm who was still blocking it, although this nightmare shadow was still attacking Grimm, it was weak at this time, but it could no longer have any influence on the wizard hood.

There was even a ray of pure white soft light emitting from the ugly red-haired monkey's body, just like Green's awakening light.

It seems that Green has been collecting black ash for more than three months, which has caused the shadow of this nightmare to no longer block the things in his body.

This thing is probably the source of this nightmare shadow!

As Green's horned evil skull magic staff fell down, this time the shadow of the nightmare actually let out a wailing cry and dropped an astonishing amount of black ash instead of turning into a large cloud of black smoke and flying into the wall clock as before. A small amount of black ash was left on the ground.

Tick, tick, tick!

The wall clock has stopped pendulum!

"This is……"

In Green's eyes, a baby composed of white and soft light appeared. The real source of this nightmare shadow turned out to be this?

In other words, this baby was the source of the apprentice witch's nightmare?

"Woo woo woo..."

To Green's astonishment, the white and soft baby suddenly opened his eyes, and instinctively cried behind Green.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, get away from my baby boy!'"

Green turned his head and looked at the sorceress apprentice who came in from the crack in the world backwards, pointing at himself with a magic wand in a flustered face. (to be continued)
