His thoughts changed in an instant.
Grimm seemed to have thought of something deeper and suddenly took out the Lamp of Awakening from the Dimensional Gap. At the same time, he triggered the Sorcerer World's Principal Will to distort himself from illusory to solid form and disappeared from the female Sorcerer's eyes.
Everything that happened in the Sorceress-Apprentice's dream was similar to what Grimm saw in the Dimensional Gap. Grimm's reaction seemed to be much slower. He was not surprised by all kinds of bizarre phenomena, nor did he really believe them.
After all, who would believe in a dream?
No matter how real this dream was, it was just a dream.
As for some biographical novels, there would be scenes of prophecy and guidance in dreams. In the eyes of the Sorcerers, the fate of the Endless World was unfathomable, and prophecy itself was extremely rejected.
Other than the ideal omnipotent "God", any prophecy was absurd and ignorant.
The moment Grimm disappeared, the female Sorcerer rushed to the baby and hugged him in her arms. Tears of pain flowed from her eyes.
"It's Mom's fault, everything is Mom's fault. You should hate Mom. Mom shouldn't have implicated you in the resentment of that heartless man. It's all Mom's fault, sob sob sob … "
The sobbing sound was the same female sobbing that Grimm heard on the first day he came to this castle.
Grimm was like an invisible person, silently observing everything.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah …"
The baby let out a cheerful laugh, as if enjoying the warmth in his mother's arms. He opened his eyes extremely bright, and his tender little hand reached out to the female Sorcerer Apprentice's fair face.
"My child …"
The female Sorcerer Apprentice hugged the baby tightly in her arms, kissing him, crying and laughing.
Gradually, in Grimm's eyes, the Nightmare World's originally dilapidated hut began to emit a golden light. It was beautiful like a wonderful dream. It was definitely not a nightmare!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The female Sorcerer Apprentice and the baby in her arms turned into golden light spots and dissipated, flying into the World Aperture. The temporary beauty gradually disappeared, and the clock in the room ticked again.
At the same time, the World Aperture on the wooden bed gradually closed in the Nightmare World.
"Wuwuwu, it's my fault, it's my fault …"
The cries of the sorceress apprentice came from the gradually closing World Aperture. On the other side, his sister seemed to have been woken up by the noise.
"Sister, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare again?"
The Sorceress Apprentice suppressed her sobs.
"Everything is in the past. Everything in the past is just our experience. The future is what we have to face. It was my fault back then. I shouldn't have let the child in my stomach … "
The sound stopped as the World Aperture closed.
Grimm came to the window and looked at the hazy fog in the distance of the Nightmare World. He sorted out the discoveries he had made after entering the Nightmare World these past few days.
First of all, just now.
When the female Sorcerer-Apprentice entered the Nightmare World, the powerful feeling made Grimm feel a sense of powerlessness. That feeling was like facing the Sorcerers World's Guardian of Winter!
This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
The other party had traversed through space-time to descend, and in that instant, space-time had been distorted inexplicably. The hanging clock had even completely stopped.
Moreover, the other party actually called him a monster?
In the other party's eyes, was he a monster from the Nightmare World?
Grimm dispelled the Sorcerers World's Principal Will and put the Lamp of Awakening into the Dimensional Gap. He looked at his distorted, nightmarish palms and fell into deep thought.
Through the baby Nightmare Phantom in this room, the first thing Grimm knew was that the essence of this Nightmare Phantom was the Sorcerer-Apprentice's guilt.
Generally speaking, psychological trauma would gradually heal through dreams. This was a very normal thing.
The Sorcerer-Apprentice's psychological trauma was because she had aborted the child in her stomach after a period of emotional entanglement. She had always felt guilty about this and hoped to heal this guilt and psychological trauma through dreams.
Under normal circumstances, what happened in this room just now should have started long ago.
It could be said that in that moment, the moment the Sorcerer-Apprentice entered this room in the Nightmare World, she represented the entire World's Will and rules because this was a dream created by her.
But …
Grimm took out the black ash collected in a transparent glass bottle.
It was because of this black ash, which Grimm guessed was the metabolic dandruff of the Horrifying Creatures in the Nightmare World, that wrapped around the baby. Thus, the Sorcerer-Apprentice's original psychological healing dream became an eternal nightmare, constantly attacking the Sorcerer-Apprentice.
If it was a creature with a weak spiritual will from other worlds, it would have been affected by such a situation. However, as the carrier of spiritual power and knowledge evolution, the most basic characteristic of a Sorcerer was to maintain a Sorcerer's rationality at all times, and even to the point of unceasingly meditating to strengthen it.
This way, this Nightmare Phantom would always only affect the dream, and would not let the dream affect the Sorcerer's judgment of reality!
In the ancient times of the Sorcerers World, was this how the Horrifying Creatures living in this Nightmare World controlled other creatures?
Grimm guessed based on the clues he had collected and his Sorcerer's wisdom.
However, after thinking about it carefully, there were still many things that could not be perfected. After all, the clues Grimm had obtained were too few.
Grimm did not say a word, still sorting out his thoughts.
The Nightmare Phantom itself in this room was the baby, and the baby itself was the carrier that the Sorcerer-Apprentice subconsciously created out of guilt and remorse, hoping to use the dream to make up for the mental trauma.
However, this baby carrier was wrapped in black ash and became the image of the ugly red-haired monkey in his eyes, which then became the nightmare of the Sorcerer-Apprentice.
His unintentional action was equivalent to breaking the surface of the nightmare, allowing the Sorceress to realize the dream that she should have.
In other words, the Nightmare Phantom was only the image of the Horrifying Creature?
He should wait until tomorrow to see if the wall clock in this room would still appear …
Wait!
He seemed to have overlooked something!
Suddenly, Grimm's body trembled, and he asked himself in a trembling voice, "Monster? That Sorcerer-Apprentice said I was a monster and left her child. Then, in her eyes now, am I a Nightmare Phantom, that ugly red-haired monkey?! "
At this moment, Grimm was sure that he had indeed fallen into the Nightmare World and become a member of the Nightmare World's creatures. It could also be said that he had been sealed in the Nightmare World.
"The way to distinguish them is to see if the outside of me is wrapped in black ash."
Without another word, Grimm took out a delicate knife and cut a lock of his long golden hair. He stared at it without blinking.
"As expected …"
Grimm sighed. It seemed that he was not a Nightmare Phantom, which meant that he had truly fallen into the Nightmare World, and not the baby, which was just a dream constructed by the Sorcerer-Apprentice's mind.
That's right!
He was not a Nightmare Phantom, but he was a creature of the Nightmare World. Did that not mean that he had already become a Horrifying Creature of the Nightmare World?!
The characteristic of Horrifying Creatures was that they wanted to leave the Nightmare World. Was that not the case for him?
If this speculation was true, then in other words, could it be said that the Horrifying Creatures of this Nightmare World were not originally creatures that had naturally reproduced in this world, but were like himself, creatures that had fallen into this Spectral World from the outside?
Above the Horrifying Creatures, there was the strongest creature in the Nightmare World that Noranos had told him about, the Dreadlord. They were the most primitive creatures that had fallen into the Nightmare World?
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable Grimm felt.
His breathing was a little rapid.
Grimm muttered to himself, "If I want to prove whether I am a member of the Horrifying Creatures of the Nightmare World, the next experiment will be to see if I can 'create' a Nightmare Phantom like this baby."
As he was deep in thought, time passed unknowingly. The black sun of the Nightmare World gradually rose, and a new day had arrived.
At night, it was Grimm's experiment in the Nightmare World, and during the day, it was Grimm's advancement learning on the path of a Sorcerer.
Grimm tried hard to suppress all the speculations about the Nightmare World, and waited for the arrival of the next night in the Nightmare World.
Several hourglasses passed, and as the blood-colored crescent moon rose into the sky, another night in the Nightmare World arrived.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock …
However, an entire night had passed, and the pendulum of the wall clock was normal. There were no more Nightmare Phantoms in this room.
