Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 817 Nightmare Venerable

The Wizarding World, the eastern sea.

As spiritual beings born from dreams, nightmares are active during the opposite of the material world. For humans, daytime is their time of activity and nighttime is their time to rest, but for nightmares, they tend to remain still in a certain area during the day. It is only when night falls and dreams begin that they have their own time and place to be.

Taking shelter from the illusion and infinite derivative nature of dreams, whether it's a wizard, a mortal, or even a beast that has developed intelligence... as long as the host's mental strength is sufficient, any nightmare can easily hide in any dream. Relying on this characteristic, even if wizards destroy the remaining nightmares time and time again, they can still make a comeback time and time again.

On this night, in one of the countless derivative dreams located in the eastern part of the Wizarding World, a conversation was taking place between two nightmares.

One of them was entirely black, with a humanoid outline but lacking human facial features. Strangely, despite having no vocal organs, it could still emit "sounds"—naturally, this was a dream, a place where anything illogical was permissible, especially since this dream was currently occupied by two Nightmare Venerables, equivalent to Sun-level wizards in the wizarding world.

"Huh, that's too much!"

Recalling his subordinate whom he had recently lost contact with, the Black Heavenly Lord's anger burned fiercely, and even this dream was filled with invisible black flames. The dream's master, a great wizard, who was in a deep sleep outside, was in pain, but neither the Black Heavenly Lord nor the Underworld Lord cared.

"Why are you angry? It's just a trivial nightmare anyway."

The Hades Lord, who was offering such words of comfort, was different from the Black Heaven Lord. If the Black Heaven Lord was the extreme of having no facial features, then the Hades Lord was the extreme of being filled with facial features.

The body of this Nightmare Lord is made up of the faces of wronged souls, who open their mouths and howl every moment, but no sound comes out.

"Once we have absorbed and digested the wizard civilization, we can make that so-called Earth civilization our next target. In any case, apart from that alien powerhouse, the rest are just cannon fodder, lower-level life forms that can be easily devoured."

A ripple appeared on the surface of the Black Heaven Venerable's dark body. After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's just a nightmare anyway. It's not worth getting into trouble with an opponent whose strength is unknown for it."

"Oh? Is the Black Celestial Lord afraid?"

"There's no need to provoke me, Hades. If you're interested in his soul, feel free to make your move. I, Heitian, will absolutely not hinder you in the slightest."

Hades chuckled twice, but did not continue the conversation.

Faced with an alien being capable of silently annihilating the second seat of the Tower Alliance, it would be impossible for it not to be cautious. If a Nightmare Venerable of equal caliber were to scout ahead, it might have some reservations, since as a Nightmare Venerable, its greatest pleasure is collecting the final "face" of a living being before death, the more powerful the target, the better. But this being is certainly powerful enough in terms of strength, making it charge headlong into the fray is simply out of the question.

Anyway, there's plenty of time, so there's no rush.

The thought crossed his mind, and Hades was about to steer the conversation toward the Nightmare Civilization's invasion of the wizarding world—

"If you had agreed to be scouts, you could have lived for two more days."

Within the closed dream world, a cold voice suddenly intruded.

Faced with this unusual situation, the two Nightmare Venerables neither questioned angrily nor shouted in panic. Instead, they did the same thing at the same time—fleeing in opposite directions.

"boom----!!!"

As the head of the great wizard from the outside world suddenly exploded, even a phantom outline was directly exposed in the material world. Its mere appearance in an area triggered all living beings within a radius of tens of kilometers to fall into nightmares. Those with weak spirits were instantly annihilated and died. However, neither the sudden intruder nor the two Nightmare Venerables who tried to escape paid attention to these trivial matters, but instead turned their "gaze" to each other.

"...It's you, Theodore?"

Changing its form, Hades let out a piercing laugh like claws scratching glass: "Hahaha, have you given up and decided to submit to the nightmare?"

"Give up, you can't escape."

The "Sun Wizard" emerged from the shadows, along with a massive magic circle that had been imprisoning and surrounding the castle that originally belonged to the Great Wizard. It was this magic circle that blocked the escape route of the two Nightmare Venerables; otherwise, given their nature, they would have already fled to another dream the moment they left this one, instead of confronting a Sun Wizard here.

Nightmares are powerful because of their stealth and survival. In a direct confrontation, they could probably defeat even a slightly stronger Moonlit Wizard, let alone the number one Sun Wizard.

However, just as the Nightmare cannot defeat the Wizard in a direct confrontation, the Wizard cannot truly kill the Nightmare.

If Earth civilization puts all its skill points into destruction, then Nightmare civilization puts all its skill points into survival, especially the Venerable-level Nightmares. Their existence is practically synonymous with the dream itself. As long as they exist on a planet and the dream exists on that planet, they will not perish completely.

As long as there are sentient beings, there will be dreams. In other words, unless all intelligent life on a planet is wiped out, it is basically impossible to kill a nightmare of the Venerable level.

As for capturing them and throwing them off the planet, given the Nightmare's ability to hide and escape, even a Sun Wizard wouldn't be able to detect their existence in the almost infinite dream world. This creates a situation where Nightmares can wreak havoc on the wizarding world at will, but wizards have almost no way to deal with them.

Until the arrival of this "Sun Wizard".

Neither Black Heavenly Lord nor Hades Lord could understand why, despite choosing the dream of an unknown great wizard as their base to conceal their tracks, they were still discovered, and even when they tried to escape using their Nightmare talent after being discovered, they were imprisoned—this was a situation that had never occurred before.

In the Nightmare's vision, there is only one being in the wizarding civilization capable of bypassing the Nightmare's perception and doing so silently.

Faced with the unusual behavior and actions of the "Sun Wizard Theodore" before them, as well as the unprecedented magical array that imprisoned them in the surrounding area, the two Nightmare Venerables felt their hearts sink.

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 818 "The Holy Spirit"

"Damn it, wasn't it said that the Holy Spirit was just a lie told by wizards?!"

Cursing the sea creatures who provided false information, and facing the "wizard" before him who had easily broken the Nightmare's proud survival ability despite the absence of any radiation field around him, Black Sky Venerable had given up all thoughts about the wizarding world. He only wanted to escape this increasingly dangerous world and obediently return to the Nightmare to "enjoy his old age in peace."

It's important to understand that in Nightmare's initial understanding, the most dangerous Sun Wizards in the Wizarding World were only at a similar level to them. However, after getting to know them better, he realized that in terms of combat power, not all five Venerables could be matched by a Sun Wizard. They could only manage to put up a war of attrition by relying on their survivability and stealth.

Just when they thought they were about to retreat, another Earth civilization appeared. Putting aside those inferior life forms with severe self-destructive tendencies, the suddenly appearing alien powerhouse clearly possessed the power to completely kill a Nightmare—after all, he could even kill a Sun Wizard. Just when the Nightmares thought this was the absolute ceiling of combat power, a "Holy Spirit Wizard" who only appeared in wizarding history 20,000 years ago appeared right in front of them...

In this situation, the Black Celestial Venerable has no guarantee that another terrifying being, surpassing the Holy Spirit Wizard, might emerge one day.

"We'll split up and escape. As long as one of us survives, the other won't die!"

Faced with a formidable foe, the two nightmares had no intention of continuing their infighting. They made a decision and used all their strength to crash into the magical barrier that imprisoned them from two different directions.

Black Celestial was prepared for its form to be shattered, but to its surprise, its charge broke through the confinement with almost no resistance.

(Could it be just a false illusion, and there is no such thing as a Holy Spirit Wizard at all?)

Driven by an inner turmoil, the Black Celestial couldn't help but turn around and look. What came into its eyes was a "sphere"—mostly covered in azure blue, with a small portion in emerald green and earthy yellow.

In front of that "ball", Hades, who had been separated for less than two seconds, also turned into a "ball": all his spirits were squeezed and flattened, like bubbles held in the palm of the "wizard".

It was at the very moment that the Black Heavenly Venerable looked back that the "sphere" that constituted all of Hades' existence and consciousness was squeezed to its limit.

"Snapped--"

"------No!!!"

west coast.

Turning his head to look at the sky, the mental fluctuations that had spread here were extremely faint, but the kind of fluctuations that were similar to those of the two Nightmare Reincarnators in the Main God Space still allowed Lin Yi to distinguish their origins. Even ignoring the intensity, just based on the quality of this part of the mental fluctuations, he estimated that the previous two Nightmares combined would not even be half as strong as it.

After a silent wait, three seconds later, a second wave of energy arrived.

"...This is our plan to declare war on the Tower Alliance, on the Wizarding Continent, and on the Wizarding Civilization in general."

"The first step is to destroy all the wizard towers on the Wizarding Continent with nuclear bombs."

How do we determine the locations of which wizard towers?

"Our satellite, although it is still somewhat small compared to the area of ​​this planet, can easily achieve full coverage of just the Wizarding Continent."

What about the transportation issue?

"The western sea area is safe enough. As long as there is no human contact, the safety of the fleet's navigation there can be guaranteed."

"That's enough, please continue."

"The second step is to deploy 'Prometheus' to precisely eliminate powerful wizard targets—"

A slight noise came from outside. The commander, who was explaining the plan, frowned slightly but continued speaking: "Wizards below the Star level will be handled by the regular troops, while wizards above the Star level will be dealt with by the special emergency response team on 'Prometheus.' The cultivation and cloning of 'Grey Leech' has been successful. Through the efforts of the research institute, we have discovered a method that can block wizards' senses—"

The commotion outside did not subside; in fact, it grew even greater.

The commander had to pause, sending a guard out to stop him before continuing: "Material that can block the senses of wizards—using this material, we can do many things that were impossible before, such as infiltration, assassination, poisoning, and so on."

"Of course, this alone is not enough for us to wage a full-scale war against the wizards. We need allies. Besides the 'Main God Space,' 'Griffin,' and 'Azure,' there are many other hidden races in the wizarding world. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Given the wizarding world's expansion model, they must have offended many alien races. We can definitely seek their help in this regard—"

The commander's speech was interrupted again, but this time it wasn't the increasingly noisy outside noise that interrupted him, but Lin Yi, who had been staying there the whole time: "Griffin and Azure are withdrawing from this battle."

Everyone, including the commander on the stage, was stunned at first upon hearing these words, then their expressions changed drastically—

"Don't misunderstand, this doesn't mean I'll quit."

After letting out a huge sigh of relief and vowing to go back and discipline those soldiers who harbored delusions about automatons, the commander had to cautiously ask, "Excuse me, could you tell us the reason? After all, adjustments are needed for subsequent operations."

"reason?"

Feeling the flow of "mana" on the planet beneath his feet gradually change from "calm" to "turbulent," he spoke in a calm tone: "Even the cheapest resource is still a resource, and meaningless waste is not a good habit."

"waste?"

Before the commander could ask any questions, a commotion outside burst through the door, and soldiers who had just left rushed in, their faces filled with panic.

"Report! Emergency!"

Instead of moving with the serious-looking officers, they went directly to the outer perimeter of the base.

Looking out to the horizon, a vast expanse of blue connects with the sky—a true "connection," as if the entire ocean has been lifted high, propelling it "slowly" towards the west coast.

Close your eyes and connect to the satellites scattered throughout the wizarding world.

In the northern sea, a whirlpool with a diameter of nearly 100,000 meters is gradually taking shape.

To the east, a blazing sun hangs over the other side of the planet, its terrifying heat constantly evaporating the increasingly thin water.

Meanwhile, the southern sea... along with the seawater evaporated in the east, has all surged westward, forming a "ripple" over 400,000 meters long. These ripples overlapped and moved closer to this land...

"...Interesting, is this what they call the 'Holy Spirit'?"

P.S.: Fourth update

Wizarding Civilization: Chapter 819 Ninth-Level Holy Spirit

In ancient history, the understanding of the Holy Spirit by shamans was probably the same as the understanding of shamans by ordinary people. They often grew up listening to their stories, but the possibility of actually coming into contact with them was infinitely close to zero.

In the Wizarding Continent, places where wizards gather are relatively peaceful. Even though the number of wizards is vast, there's always a chance of finding one. But if it's a barren place like the West Coast, the situation is quite different. Considering that Tulip Town was wiped out in the first encounter, it's clear how bad things can get.

Even for wizards who have mastered many ways to extend their lifespan, 20,000 years is far too long. The longest-lived Sun Wizard in history lived for 4,000 years—that is, the current first seat of the Tower Alliance, Theodore Sun Wizard. But even he is close to his limit now. Unless he can break through the limits of his soul and undergo another mental transformation, no matter how much he maintains his youth, he will eventually turn to dust along with his spirit.

But is the fourth mental breakdown really that simple?

The answer is clearly no. If it were that simple, the wizarding world wouldn't have legends of the Holy Spirit, but rather the reality of the Holy Spirit.

In the 20,000-year history of wizards, the traces of the Holy Spirit have only been shown once, when the wizards faced the invasion and war of the sea race 20,000 years ago. At that time, the wizard civilization was far less powerful than it is now, and it only occupied less than 5% of the wizard world's area—barely the size of a wizard continent. There were only three Sun Wizards.

Faced with an invasion by sea creatures that controlled 80% of the wizarding world's area and even more resources, the wizards could only rely on the sea creatures' unfamiliarity with the land to fight and retreat, until they lost nearly half of the continent—

The Holy Spirit descended.

Moreover, what descended was neither a seventh-level Holy Spirit nor an eighth-level Holy Spirit, but a ninth-level Holy Spirit: an existence standing at the pinnacle of the entire wizarding civilization.

The wizards, who usually downplayed the past, unusually devoted a great deal of ink to this matter. They recorded in detail how the Holy Spirit Wizard hollowed out the sea, lifted the sea creatures' palace built on the seabed, and how he used powerful and mysterious witchcraft to kill the Sea King who advocated war at the time. Then, in front of countless sea creatures, he forced the newly enthroned Sea King to sign a contract.

That is the origin of the original sea creature contract. It was not a tacit understanding or mercy, but simply a product of extreme violence and bloody oppression. No wonder the sea creatures resisted when they noticed the wizards' weakness. In the wizards' eyes, this was a betrayal that broke the contract, but in the eyes of the sea creatures, they were just doing the same thing that the wizards had done 20,000 years ago.

There is no right or wrong, only strength or weakness.

The result is what we see today... VI>Phosphorus〡貳{Emu?叄SilkDad罒Q?un

"The royal family of the northern seas has been almost wiped out, and the survivors have fled to the outskirts. The royal family of the eastern seas just sent their fourth peace request. They are willing to pay double the price of the third request, only asking that the great ninth-level Holy Spirit eliminate the 'sun' on the sea. The southern seas..."

"There is no news from the southern seas. Five minutes ago, the entire southern sea was pushed to the eastern seas by the great Antonio Holy Spirit Wizard as a final attack against 'Earth civilization'."

At the top of the tower, a Sun Wizard, also gazing eastward, couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice, "Where are the Nightmares? Isn't this chaos what they most want to see?"

"They have disappeared. Apart from a number of lower-level nightmares that have not yet escaped, all nightmares of level four and above have left the wizarding world."

The Sun Wizard exhaled a long breath.

This is the "truth".

The wizard civilization seized control of this world in this way, and with less than 20% of the area and less than 0.01% of the population, it called this world the "Wizard World".

And what gives them the right to invade one foreign civilization after another, and wantonly plunder and destroy foreign races?

It is this power that surpasses all others that allows wizards to grasp "truth," while those destroyed races do not.

What has evolved into a catastrophe that could lead to the collapse of civilization at any moment in the wizarding world is nothing more than a matter that a ninth-level Holy Spirit can easily handle with a wave of his hand. Look, less than thirty minutes have passed since the arrival of the Holy Spirit Wizard Antonio, and what has he done?

They completely killed two Nightmare Venerables that even the Sun Wizard could not kill with all his might, and terrified the remaining Nightmares, forcing them to flee this world in a sorry state. They even had to worry about the Wizarding World, which might invade the Nightmare World at any time.

He used three Saint-level "witchcraft" spells to crush the sea creatures who tried to break the contract, bringing back the nightmare from 20,000 years ago to those lowly underwater creatures.

And now—

"To use two oceans to drown the vanguard of a civilization, is this the power of the ninth-level Holy Spirit?"

Gazing at the endless "tidal wave" stretching to the horizon, the third seat of the Tower Alliance had a strange glint in his eyes.

"Theodore made a decision that none of us dared to make."

The fourth seat said with emotion, "He did not gain nothing. At least compared to spiritual decay and soul dissipation, he experienced the vast power of the 'Holy Spirit' before his death... This is a power that can even tear stars apart."

Compared to the third and fourth seats, the fifth seat, the Sun Wizard, turned his gaze directly to the Moon Wizard behind him—a disciple left behind by the first seat, Theodore Wizard.
