A Sorcerer's Journey - Chapter 526
Chapter 526: Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer
Almost none of the Fallens in the Nightmare World knew about the history and origin of Stalker Dreadlord and Deceitful Dreadlord.
The only reason they believed in these two Dreadlords’ existence was because among the highest Nightmare World laws of Fright Energy conversion, these two weird phenomena’s behavior existed in every part of the Nightmare World.
Although it was impossible to trace the source of these two Nightmare laws, these two natural phenomena in the Nightmare World were solid proof that these two Dreadlords existed.
And today, Stalker Dreadlord had actually made an appearance!
Stalker Dreadlord represented the phenomenon of eavesdropping and spying in the Nightmare World. It was the shapeless eyes in the dark, gathering secrets in the Nightmare World, spying on the privacy of others in the Nightmare World. A Dreadlord of mystery.
“All hail the mighty Stalker Dreadlord!”
“All hail the mighty Stalker Dreadlord…”
Each of the Dreadlord Servants felt the Nightmare law through the Nightmare World, the law of eavesdropping and spying. All of them bowed in the presence of a Dreadlord.
However, Stalker Dreadlord ignored all of the Dreadlord Servants, and was focused only on Grimm.
This…
Grimm could almost read the message in its eyes.
It was the same way a Sorcerer looked at the biological specimens in his lab, or when he ignorantly crushed a bug on the floor while walking on the road.
It was not a typical look by a Dreadlord.
“Almost succeeded?”
Stalker Dreadlord popped a question that puzzled the Dreadlord Servants.
Within his Nightmare Realm, the hundred-meter tall Wailing King lifted his head, trying to provide an explanation to this stranger, Stalker Dreadlord, “Mighty Stalker Dreadlord, we are not aware of this Fallen Sorcerer…”
Bang!
Suddenly, Stalker Dreadlord made his move in the dark. His target was Wailing King!
Hmm?
Grimm’s pupil shrank as if he sensed danger. He could not believe his eyes as he gazed upon Stalker Dreadlord with his mouth wide open. Even his body was trembling in response.
“You…”
Wailing King was confident within his Nightmare Realm, yet he had never thought of fighting a Dreadlord.
No, it should be said that none of Nightmare World’s Dreadlord Servants had ever thought of fighting a Dreadlord.
Rage King who had fought Nightmare Mist Dreadlord was not of his own will but was forced to defend himself.
It was the same reason Rage King earned the title of the First Servant of the Nightmare World.
But now, the mysterious Stalker Dreadlord was attacking Wailing King upon his arrival without any reason.
Roar!
In a desperate attempt of self-defense, Wailing King cut off his arm to double his Wailing Echo power and aimed his attack at Stalker Dreadlord.
Surprisingly, Wailing King’s Wailing Echo had a self-mutilation amplification.
Wailing King was the Second Servant of Nightmare Bug Dreadlord. Now that they were within his realm, plus the amplification on his Wailing Echo…
Even though his opponent was a Dreadlord, Wailing King was confident that he would be able to push them back into a defensive position.
After all, this was his Nightmare Realm.
Puff!
“Impossible!”
The confident Wailing King was shocked as he witnessed the gigantic hand tear through his Howling Echo with ease like shredding a piece of paper.
The gigantic hand twisted the space and suppressed the Howling Echo.
This was impossible!
Even if Stalker Dreadlord had collected billions of Fear Energy converted from Fright Energy, it was still a living creature of the Nightmare World. The Wailing Echo should at least have a small effect on it.
All because it did not meet the requirements… of a law?
Suddenly, Wailing King yelled out loud, “You are a Sorcerer!”
He might have limited knowledge of a Sorcerer, yet Wailing King was sure that a Sorcerer was a living creature that had utilized the laws since the ancient times.
Boom!
Nothing could stop the giant hand. Both of them were one hundred meters tall, yet Wailing King could not react when Stalker Dreadlord’s palm slammed onto his body. Like an ant facing a giant, Wailing King was utterly helpless.
An enormous amount of Fright Energy rushed into Grimm’s body, significantly enlarging his body in height and size.
Stalker Dreadlord watched Grimm’s body grow more extensively as he absorbed Fright Energy, asking happily, “So, it is a success?”
On the other hand, Wailing King landed a few hundred meters away. His body had shrunk significantly, “He is not a real Nightmare World’s Dreadlord. He is a Sorcerer, a Sorcerer from the Sorcerers World!”
The surrounding Dreadlord Servants were stunned by what had happened.
The first few to react were the strongest Dreadlord Servants.
Rage King had his share of experience since he had fought with Nightmare Mist Dreadlord. Regardless of how strong a Dreadlord was, it could still be beaten in battle, and was not as unstoppable as this Stalker Dreadlord.
Something was not right!
Rage King’s feet crushed the ground with two large footprints as he immediately leaped into the sky, trying to escape into the Nightmare World.
Nightmare Mist Dreadlord’s Nightmare Mist law had its limits. Once Rage King escaped the Nightmare Mist law, he should see daylight in the Nightmare World.
Wham!
Rage King was slammed by a hand in the middle of the air and plummeted onto the ground.
He was the strongest Dreadlord Servant in the Nightmare World. Yet, in Stalker Dreadlord’s eyes, he was nothing more than a worm that could be crushed easily.
Another significant amount of Fright Energy flowed into Grimm.
Nothing could stop Stalker Dreadlord from his rampage on the surrounding Dreadlord Servants. He continued on with his experiment and watched as Grimm’s giant ape body grow larger and taller.
“No!”
“Quick, inform the other Dreadlords!”
Dreadlord Servants cried in despair. No matter what type of Nightmare ability they had or how much Fright Energy they had accumulated, all their tricks and attacks were like a juggling show of a weak Sorcerer-Apprentice in front of Stalker Dreadlord.
The Dreadlord Servants were bashed helplessly by Stalker Dreadlord.
There was no difference between the strongest First Servant and the weakest Dreadlord Servant. All were crushed mercilessly by just one hit.
Grimm was excited yet he was still suffering in great pain. His body continued to experience significant pain as it steadily grew more extensive, yet it did not affect Grimm’s ability to think as a Sorcerer.
Through the Sorcerers World’s Principle Will, Grimm felt the connection he had with Stalker Dreadlord, who was indeed an actual Sorcerer!
Eavesdropping and spying?
This should be one of the fairytale laws to stalk the Nightmare World.
Grimm knew Stalker Dreadlord was not just any Sorcerer but Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer who had invented the Tricolor Fairytale law!
As for Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer’s indomitable attacks on the Dreadlord Servants, Grimm was able to make his own assumptions.
Perhaps this was precisely why Black Isotta mentioned that a Stigmata Sorcerer was unchallenged in the Nightmare World?
First, the Nightmare World was a parasitic world that relied on the Sorcerers World. It was only logical that The Fallens’ target was to be rebirthed as Sorcerers. The difference between a human and a Sorcerer was Magic Power.
Dreadlords used Nightmare Phantoms to wither a Sorcerer into the Nightmare World. The Sorcerer would become a Nightmare Creature, just like Grimm did.
In the Nightmare World, The Fallen collected Fright Energy from humans to grow. Fright Energy could be used by The Fallen to affect a human. Once there was sufficient Fright Energy, The Fallen could open a World Aperture, which was the “key” to rebirth.
In the context of a Sorcerer, it could be very dangerous to those who possessed Magic Power but had less than 10 points of Mental Strength and was without the protection of a Sorcerer Academy!
The Nightmare World was not as strong as it was. Ordinary Fallens were no longer capable of infiltrating a Sorcerer’s dream. Only Dreadlord Servants could break the Daybreak Waking law so they could be rebirthed.
A Dreadlord could first annihilate another Dreadlord and use that Dreadlord’s Fear Energy to drag a Sorcerer into the Nightmare World. Then he would appear in the Sorcerer’s dream and use his own Fear Energy to break the Dream’s Barrier into black ashes. By doing this, the Sorcerer would be trapped inside the Nightmare World forever.
And so, that Dreadlord would be reincarnated!
A rebirth by withering the will of a soul!
Such was the fundamental law in the Nightmare World. The Fallen possessed an Immortal Body, terrorizing every world before the Sorcerers World. No world could stop them from clinging onto it; no world could escape from their nightmares.
Nevertheless…
In the eyes of Sorcerers, these Nightmare Creatures were nothing but Mental Strength leeches!
One footstep could kill numbers of them.
Grimm assumed that Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer was not pulled into the Nightmare World by any Dreadlord. To be exact, he was not a living creature of the Nightmare World.
The amazing part was that Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer had altered his bloodline to hide his human bloodline.
He was never a Fallen but a non-parasitic alien in the Nightmare World!
Therefore, the Nightmare World’s Fright Energy and Fear Energy law did not apply on Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer since they only targeted humans and The Fallen in the inner part of the Nightmare World!
Hence, Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer lived beyond the laws of the Nightmare World!
Grimm finally understood why Master Peranos and Black Isotta mentioned that once Grimm had become a Stigmata Sorcerer, he could enter the Nightmare World and dominate every Nightmare Creature. Since a Stigmata Sorcerer could appear anywhere he wanted and had mastered the high law of Hematology Sorcery; he could control every world law and live above them!
It was not hard to crack the magnificent Nightmare World. Once it was cracked, these strong Nightmare Creatures became helpless worms, waiting to be slaughtered.
A veil of laws separated the truth and illusions. Once a person could see through it, the world became a different place!
Suddenly, Three Rings Celestial Sorcerer stopped its stampede on the Dreadlord Servants. He looked at Grimm, the giant ape, seriously with a slight twinkle of hope in his eyes.
“So tell me, do you feel the adjudication law?”
