The Nightmare World was a parasite of the Sorcerers World, so it also had the rules of day and night.
The night was a distant blur of the surroundings, shrouded in nightmare fog, a terrifying and depressing scene where nothing could be seen. Every bed that someone slept on was the entrance to the Sorcerers World.
In other words, it was the place where the human spirit of the Sorcerers World entered the Nightmare World uncontrollably.
After daytime, all the World Aperture passages between the Sorcerers World and the Nightmare World seemed to be closed. The hazy fog in the distance also dissipated, but the whole world seemed to have become a semi-illusory body, similar to the semi-illusory body of Grimm's body at night.
A round black sun hung high in the sky.
The ground, trees, rocks, and buildings began to become hazy and distorted, exuding an ominous nightmare aura. Only Grimm's body became solid, incompatible with the Nightmare World.
The endless black disgusting insects on the ground had also disappeared, as if it was just an illusion in the night.
"I don't know how the terrifying life that has targeted me is sensing me and looking for me. But to be safe, it's not wrong to change places after all. "
With this thought in mind, Grimm carefully observed the environment of the surrounding port streets and tried to fly.
There was no uncomfortable feeling of suppression.
The daytime of the Sorcerers World and the Nightmare World was the dormant period of the terrifying life?
If one were to think about it, this was reasonable. Possessing the characteristic of being almost impossible to kill, these terrifying lifeforms must have some inherent flaws.
"The terrifying life in this world can't all be as strong as the one that has targeted me. Maybe I should first try to start with some weak terrifying life to understand them."
Grimm pondered and suddenly thought of Little Eight.
"Little Eight?"
Grimm tried to call out, but although he subconsciously felt Little Eight's active breath, he could not contact her at all. This feeling was like feeling someone beside you in a dream, but you could not wake up no matter what.
With a sigh, Grimm gave up trying to contact Little Eight.
As expected of a space-time sealed illusory world, it had completely blocked Grimm and Little Eight's space-time connection talent.
Grimm took out the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft from the Dimensional Gap. With a creak, the upper half of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft's metal cabin door opened, and Grimm stepped inside. He decided to take advantage of the relatively safe Nightmare World's daytime to head to other normal human cities to search for and understand the terrifying life forms of this world, or Nightmare Phantoms.
The metal hatch closed once more, and with a whoosh, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft shot off into the distance.
After flying for about four hourglasses' worth of time, Grimm crossed a small patch of the Bramble Forest and arrived at an ordinary small town. Grimm estimated that this small town in the Sorcerer World would only have a population of a few thousand. It was an ordinary small town.
With a creak, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft's metallic hatch opened, and it landed steadily three meters above the ground.
"Hopefully, I'll be able to find something in this little city tonight."
With this thought in mind, Grimm got off the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and stored it in the Dimensional Gap. He estimated that it would take about two hourglasses' worth of time before night fell.
With such a long period of time, perhaps he should research something else.
While he was deep in thought, Grimm suddenly opened the Dimensional Gap, and a pure white light was taken out by Grimm. This was the Awakening Ray of the maze of the sea serpent that Grimm had collected at Mount Serpentine.
The weight of the Awakening Ray in Grimm's hands was no less than that of a boulder!
The pure white and gentle light was a stark contrast to the blurry, ominous, and distorted Nightmare World. Even the blurry, distorted environment around Grimm began to become real due to the Awakening Ray's illumination.
"The effect of dispelling nightmares? Or the effect of awakening reality? "
Grimm was surprised.
When he first opened the Dimensional Gap last night, Grimm discovered that the Awakening Ray had some unusual effects on the Nightmare World.
However, because he had just fallen into the Nightmare World, he was still very unfamiliar and afraid of the unknown environment. Therefore, he had to hide himself and protect himself, making his own safety his top priority.
Now that Grimm had roughly explored, he realized that the horrifying creatures in the Nightmare World were not as numerous as he had imagined. He did not know if the Sorcerers World was too big, or if there were too few horrifying creatures.
At least in the port behind the Black Iso Tower, Grimm did not find any traces of horrifying creatures.
"Perhaps, this Awakening Ray can allow me to obtain the most perfect concealment in the Nightmare World …"
Grimm silently speculated as he observed the effects of the Awakening Ray on the surrounding environment of the Nightmare World.
This kind of dominator's power was obviously not something a low-level being like Grimm could use. Even carrying it around was a huge burden.
But even the passive power of the Awakening Ray had such an incredible ability.
After some thought, Grimm took out an exquisite crystal cover and placed the Awakening Ray into it. He used it as an unusual magic lamp and waited for the night to fall in the Nightmare World.
A blood-colored crescent moon that looked like a gigantic evil smile replaced the dark sun in the sky.
With the appearance of this blood-colored crescent moon, it was as if the Nightmare World had been awakened. The illusory, distorted, and nightmarish buildings in the small city began to gradually solidify, but they emitted a decaying, dilapidated, and ominous aura.
The originally good bluestone streets began to turn into mud. Disgusting black worms crawled out of the mud, squeezing each other, but there was no sound.
The crying faces on the backs of the surrounding black worms seemed to be crying at Grimm, at Grimm.
Wisps of Nightmare Fog emerged from the ground and gathered in the air.
After a while, the fog-covered Nightmare World was reduced to a few hundred meters of visibility. Grimm welcomed his second night in the Nightmare World.
The difference this time was that Grimm had the Lamp of Awakening in his hand.
Under the white and gentle light of the Lamp of Awakening, the surrounding decaying and dilapidated buildings regained some of the normal aura that the Sorcerers World should have. The mud under his feet also turned into bluestone streets, and the disgusting black worms seemed to be just an illusion.
Holding the Lamp of Awakening, Grimm searched room after room in this small city for the existence of Nightmare Phantoms, or rather, traces of horrifying life forms.
Unfortunately, Grimm did not find anything.
This small city did not seem to have any signs of horrifying life forms.
Feeling regretful, Grimm hid in a small house after midnight. From the narrow World Aperture on the wooden bed, he could faintly hear the snoring of a man in deep sleep. Grimm sat on the greasy wooden chair in the small house, took out his Sorcerer's notes and books on Ice Marrow Crystallization, and sank into deep thought with the help of the Awakening Ray.
This went on for three days. After Grimm had changed to three different small cities, he followed Grimm to his fourth small city.
This small city could no longer be considered a city. It would be more appropriate to call it a village.
The entire village seemed to have about sixty to seventy households, and there were only two stone houses.
One of the stone houses was a mill at the entrance of the village. There was a worn-out windmill on the roof of the mill, which gave off an ominous aura at night in the Nightmare World. The other house was a small three-story castle, which seemed to be the inheritance of some ancient noble family in the Sorcerers World. It was a stark contrast to the wooden houses in the large village.
Naturally, Grimm first went to the mill at the entrance of the village, but he did not find anything.
After searching through the worn-out mud houses one by one, Grimm arrived at the three-story stone castle on the east side of the village.
"Sob sob sob …"
It sounded like a woman's sobbing coming from the second floor. This was something that Grimm had never encountered before.
Pleasantly surprised, Grimm made some preparations and activated his Sorcerer's Barrier. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door with a creak. He strode into a room on the second floor of the castle.
Tick tock, tick tock …
Creak … Creak …
The 'tick tock' sound came from an ancient wall clock in the room. It was made using mechanical gear technology and the principle of swinging. Usually, noble families in the Sorcerers World would have a collection of this clock, and it was an item that could be found everywhere.
What was strange was that this clock did not give off an aura of decay or decay. Instead, it was very exquisite. The only unusual thing was that all the hands were turning upside down.
The 'creak' sound came from the shaking of a huge wooden bed in front of him. The woman's sobbing also came from the narrow Spatial Crack on the wooden bed.
"What's that?"
Grimm raised the Lamp of Awakening in one hand and the Sabbatic Goat Staff in the other. He looked at the two twisted feet in the narrow Spatial Crack of the World, which seemed to be desperately trying to drill into the Sorcerers World.
