As the nightmare aura grew stronger, Angor finally arrived at the source.
But when he saw the source of the aura, his expression changed.
The source of the aura was still a plain plain. However, that was only from the perspective of other people. In Angor's view, the source was a thin barrier that looked like a sieve.
"It's a Nightmare Realm barrier!"
Thick nightmare energy was seeping out of the holes in the barrier. The familiar sensation told him that it was a thin barrier that protected the half-passage.
This meant that the dream wasteland was indeed an interlayer between the Nightmare Realm and the Dream Realm.
In other words, if Angor used a special method to sever the barrier, he would be able to create a Nightmare Domain.
But unlike the other interlayers Angor encountered before, this one didn't originate from the real world. It was based on the Dream Realm.
Angor's face paled. He still remembered what happened at the Twilight Auction. The Frog Chanter Faelog, the Red Fox Zither Player Fox, the Clown Card and the Rainbow Dragonfly all came out from the half-way tunnel in the interlayer space.
None of the nightmare creatures seemed to be hostile to him. They even mistook him for someone called Shava. However, he knew how much damage those creatures had done to the southern wizarding region. So far, the shockwaves they caused had yet to subside. They were still spreading across the Fey Continent.
If the semi-passage in this place caused the same kind of damage as last time … Angor didn't dare to think further.
He always told Sunders that he was someone who could destroy the world. But when he learned about the consequences of invading the wizarding world from the Abyss Plane, he never dared to do that again. Abyss Plane was already powerful enough to destroy the entire southern wizarding region, let alone the Nightmare Realm, which was even more terrifying.
There were several legendary-level monsters in the Nightmare Realm even in Nether City, the outermost region of the Nightmare Realm.
He did not want to see his friends and family get hurt, not to mention the potential consequences.
But now that the dream wasteland was right in front of him, he had to think about how to deal with it.
He didn't want to give up on the dream wasteland so easily.
"Even if this place is only separated from the Nightmare Realm by a thin layer, it shouldn't have anything to do with the wizarding world. After all, this is a special place in the Dream Realm. As long as he didn't use Nightmare Illusion, he shouldn't be affected. I'm the only one who knows how to use Nightmare Illusion in the entire southern wizarding region, "he tried to comfort himself.
His mind calmed down a little as he talked to himself.
At least for now, he did not see any effects that might affect the real world.
Just in case, he decided to check the boundary of the semi-passage first. He wanted to see if there was another army of nightmare soldiers behind the barrier. If there was, he would immediately return home and seal the Wilderness of Dreams, never to touch it again.
Carefully, he approached the barrier and peeked through the tiny hole.
It was pitch-black.
But he didn't sense any other living creatures.
He sighed in relief.
Maybe the nightmare creatures didn't want to come to this place since there were no living creatures to be found in the Dream Realm.
No matter what the answer was, it was good news that no nightmare creatures were hiding behind the barrier.
Since there were no nightmare creatures around, the idea of giving up on his plan rose again, and he had even greater ambitions.
He was thinking about how to control the dream wasteland. Now that he realized he was in a special interlayer space, he naturally had a solution. Just like what Sunders did last time, he would sever the barrier and turn it into a Nightmare Realm. If he had the chance, he would try to fuse with the barrier as well.
Angor retracted his vision and decided to look around to see if there were any nightmare creatures coming through the barrier.
What he didn't know was that when his gaze left the semi-tunnel, behind the world membrane, in the pitch-black space, a certain existence slowly opened its eyes.
His scarlet eyes carried an indifference that had never changed since time immemorial.
…
Angor opened his eyes as soon as he left the dream wasteland. The first thing he saw was Toby fluttering its wings and rubbing its head against his cheek.
When they were done, Toby flapped his wings and told Angor that Freud went out earlier and came back with someone else, who was still waiting outside.
Freud brought someone here? Angor opened the door in confusion.
He saw Freud sitting by the candlelight, writing something down with a pen in his hand. An unconscious man was lying on the ground. His white clothes were tattered and covered in dust. His hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains.
Freud looked over when he heard Angor opening the door. "Mister Padt! You're awake! You're still in the Dream Wasteland, right? Did you find anything else? "
"Yes, it's the Dream Wasteland. But it's a long story." Angor shook his head and pointed at the unconscious man. "Who's this?"
Freud glanced at the unconscious man. "He's a death row criminal I brought out from the prison in Freighting Town. You've done experiments on dying in a dream, right? Why don't you use Dream Enkindle on him and see if he can survive in the Dream Wasteland?"
Angor knew what Freud was implying. He would do the same if he could control the Dream Wasteland. But he couldn't do it now.
"Not for the time being. Before I eliminate the dangers of the dream wasteland, I won't let anyone with the ability to move in."
"Including me?" Freud frowned.
"That's right. Including you," Angor said without hesitation.
"Why? What's so dangerous about the Dream Wasteland? Did you find a powerful Dreamrealm creature? "Freud asked in surprise.
"I didn't encounter anything, but I know what kind of place it is and how dangerous it is."
"Isn't it a sealed area in the Dream Realm?" Freud looked at Angor's serious expression and asked, "Is there something else?"
"Yes. But I can't tell you."
Freud hesitated for a moment before he finally asked, "What if I swear an oath?"
"If you swear an oath, I'll tell you the truth. But I won't let you in until I've eliminated all the dangers. "
"How dangerous is it?" Freud sounded a little agitated. "I'm not afraid of danger. Even if I die in there, it has nothing to do with you!"
"It's as dangerous as the Demon God's Shadow." Angor wasn't going to let Freud in even if he had the courage to die.
Freud could tell that Angor was telling the truth. But the Dream Wasteland was filled with dangers as dangerous as the Demon God's Shadow? How could he believe that?
Freud wanted to argue with Angor, but he knew he wasn't in a position to do so.
He even wondered if Angor was trying to trick him into swearing an oath. But on second thought, it didn't matter to Angor whether Freud was loyal to him or not. Besides, Freud didn't think Angor was trying to trick him.
Still, he wanted to know what happened in the dream wasteland. What did Angor find out? Freud wondered if he should swear an oath right now.
"Don't worry, Freud. I'll let you in as long as I can get rid of all the dangers in the dream wasteland. Until then, you just need to wait. "
Angor returned to his room and didn't care about Freud's opinion.
He needed to find more information about interlayers as well as how to sever them to form a Nightmare Domain.
He took out The Mystery of Nightmare Domain and read it from beginning to end. There was also information about how to sever an interlayer. He didn't expect to see a new mezzanine space so soon, but he only took a brief look at it before.
First, he looked at the information about Nightmare Domain fusion.
Sunders pointed out at the very beginning of the book that fusing a Nightmare Domain was extremely dangerous. Even wizards would show signs of falling into a trance.
Angor also remembered Sunders telling him that he would fall into all kinds of illusions, which might contain the things he desired the most. He had to stay away from them or he would never wake up.
However, he didn't fall into such a situation. According to Sunders' theory, it was probably because he was a high-level Nightmare Form.
Angor kept the information in mind and kept reading.
When he was almost done with the chapter, he fell into deep thought.
He didn't care about the danger of fusing a Nightmare Domain for now. However, Sunders warned him that he shouldn't try to fuse a second Nightmare Domain before becoming a wizard.
According to the book, every time a Nightmare Domain fused with a new type of Nightmare Domain, it would require a large amount of Nightmare Aura to sustain the Nightmare Domain.
Sunders usually used nightmare stones to replenish the Nightmare Domain or by entering the Nightmare Realm. This was why Sunders told Angor not to fuse a second Nightmare Domain until he became a wizard and was strong enough to venture into the Nightmare Realm.
However, Angor's right hand was able to produce nightmare aura on its own.
Angor wondered if the green rune on his right hand could provide enough nightmare aura to fuse a second Nightmare Domain.
If possible, he should be able to fuse a second Nightmare Domain.
Even if he couldn't, he could just buy more nightmare stones.
