Mental power training is the most basic course for becoming a mage. A mage must learn to control his subconscious and even his dreams, otherwise he will instinctively contact the source of polluted magic in a state of insanity, and then fall into madness.

The process of mental strength training is cruel. Apprentice mages will be forced to sleep for several days in a row, and answer questions when they are extremely sleepy and in a trance. If they answer wrong, they will be punished. It will be repeated until the mage can maintain a deep level of vigilance in any situation.

This kind of training makes the mage have a strong mental resistance, and will not be easily affected by hallucinations or hypnosis, but it will also cause obvious sequelae. Most mages cannot sleep well, and some will suffer from insomnia and nervousness throughout their lives. debilitating pain. -- "Encyclopedia of Fei Nuo Continent - Magic"

Palos didn't understand why Evandel would provoke a completely unknown dangerous existence like this. As soon as Avandel's voice fell, they heard a voice from nowhere: "I am here, mortal."

His voice cheered up the slumped Necromancer: "My lord, save me!"

Angry Geer would not give him a chance to be rescued, he swung his giant ax and chopped off the necromancer's head, but it seemed that this could not kill Nick, it just made him unable to act temporarily.

"Since you're here, why don't you show up?" Evandel didn't show any nervousness at all.

A round fleshy ball full of eyes appeared in front of his eyes. He was so disgusted that he let out an "ooh" and turned to his companions in disgust, "Have you seen anything like this before?"

Phils looked nervous: "What the hell is this? Tentacle monsters from the abyss?"

Daya said, "But what I saw was a big spider?"

They looked at each other, it seemed that everyone saw something different, the voice said calmly: "I will appear in the image you are most afraid of, because I am fear itself, mortal, I can feel that you have more than Nick. Powerful, replace him as my servant, and I will grant any of your wishes."

"Stop talking nonsense, you don't have that much power at all, otherwise Nick wouldn't be like this." Evandel took out a box of magic dust from his bag and drew a magic circle on the ground.

The Nightmare Lord said: "My influence on this world is limited, but in the dream world, I am the absolute master. You can have everything you want in the dream world without paying any price."

Evandel sneered: "No matter how good a dream is, it's just a dream. What's the point?"

"How do you know that the world you are in is real? It's just that you 'think' everything is real, and only your own subjective feelings are the most important." The Nightmare Lord tempted him, " The fate of this world is coming to an end, and in the void, time is eternal, and in front of you is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will you choose to become an immortal existence in the void, or choose to be with this 'real' The world dies together?"

"I choose to destroy you." Evandel has finished his preparations and activated the magic circle he drew just now. He knows that this action is a bit risky, but since he has already stepped into this space, he will face completely unknown dangers whether he takes the risk or not. , might as well take the risk.

The void creature is a pure spiritual body. Since it can live by devouring nightmares, in theory, Evandel can also use the wheel of the arcane to devour it and convert it into pure energy for its own spellcasting.Otherwise, the Mystic Wheel can only store his own pitiful magic power every day, which is still too slow. The last time he met the King of Bones and used the "Black Blade" once, the magic power he had stored for more than a month was almost exhausted. do.

The all-out war with the church is about to break out, and the prophesied end is approaching. He doesn't have much time to waste, so he can only choose to take the risk.

The Nightmare Lord stares at Avondel with all his eyes. It feeds on fear, but it is not afraid of itself: "This will not work, mortal, I can see the deepest fear in your heart, you cannot overcome I."

The runes on Evandel's hands shone with golden light, and he looked at the Nightmare Lord fearlessly: "Come on, let's see who has the last laugh."

Palos and the others tried to help, but they couldn't help in this mental contest, and the last thing they saw was that the body of the Nightmare Lord turned into a huge black cloud, throwing all of them together. devoured.

Evandel, who was still a teenager, slowly opened his eyes and found that he was tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame and could not move. He was getting weaker and colder, and the wound on his left wrist could no longer feel pain. The blood in his body was running out—he was dying.

The man stood in front of him and looked at him, his face was blurred, only the sadness in his eyes was still real.

Evandel knew that he was having a nightmare again. Although the dream was very real, there was still a mysterious force that kept hinting to him that this was reality and prevented him from thinking of anything unrelated to the dream, but the mage's mental resistance was very strong. Gao, the basic course for becoming a mage is spiritual training. If they can't even do this well, they will instinctively contact the source of polluted magic in their dreams, and then fall into madness.

When Evandel realized that this was a dream, he had already won most of this spiritual contest, but the Nightmare Lord did not create nightmares, but triggered fear in people's hearts. Only you know what you are afraid of in this world , so it doesn't end there.

"I'm sorry..." The man apologized softly to him.

"Would you be able to wash away your sins by saying I'm sorry?" Evandel smiled, "It's so ironic... I hate you so much, and this hatred has been supporting me step by step until today, but I don't even I can’t even remember what you look like. Heh...it doesn’t matter, anyway, this human skin is meaningless, I will find the real you sooner or later, and then I will crush your body to ashes!”

"But how are you going to find the real me?" The man put away the false guilt, and continued to speak words that shook him, "You only know that I am a demon from the Titan world, and you don't even know who I am. It's been 200 years, and I'm still living well in a world that you can't even touch. Admit your powerlessness, you can't take revenge, and you can only accept the fact that you were used and deceived by me."

Evandel closed his eyes and didn't look at him, trying to imply to himself that all of this is fake, the bondage on his body is fake, the wounds are fake, and the weakness is also fake. The only difficulty in breaking the control of the Nightmare King is Use reason to convince yourself that everything that is so real in front of you is fake.

His self-suggestion took effect, the restraints on his body disappeared, and he returned to an adult figure, and the wound on his hand became the old scar he was familiar with. Evandel raised his eyes to look at the blurred enemy, Said calmly: "I don't need to look for you in the world of Titans, you will come to your door sooner or later. Your world is about to be destroyed, so you have to pretend to be a human being and trick me into helping you open the portal connecting the two worlds. You failed miserably last time, and I know you will try again sooner or later. And I will be ready before that day comes, and when I see you again, I will kill you with my own hands."

Evandel is not so much convincing the phantom, but rather convincing himself. This is a contest between him and his own heart, and he cannot be influenced by the phantom.

"Can you really do it?" said the phantom, "You can't kill me, even though you are so thirsty for knowledge and power, when you really face me, you will still be reluctant to kill me, because you have been so Be obsessed with the warmth I give you, and even all the lovers you find later have my shadow behind them, they are more or less like me."

"It can only mean that I happen to like this type of person." Evandel retorted his words while looking for the exit of this illusion. When he was talking to himself here against his own psychological shadow, Palos and the others Also stuck in a nightmare, the longer he waits, the more they are hurt and the Nightmare Lord grows stronger by absorbing their fear and pain.

"It is because you found that you have been chasing after my shadow, so you try to find some completely different types to prove something, admit it, when they broke up with you, you didn't have much sadness in your heart , but relieved."

"Who wouldn't be sad, I'm just used to it."

"If the breakup really hurt you, why didn't you go back and take revenge on them? You have never been a generous person, and revenge is your style." The illusion born in his heart clearly knew his intentions. Weaknesses, every sentence hits the nail on the head, "Now you have found someone who is very similar to me. After so many years, you have gone back and forth, and you have returned to the original point."

"He is nothing like you, don't insult him with your disgusting behavior." These words finally made Evandel a little angry, but he always kept a clear mind in his heart, knowing that if he was so angry that he would lose his mind If you fight with the phantom in your heart, you will be trapped in this nightmare forever. Evandel calms himself down with reason, and concentrates on finding incongruities in the scene constructed by his memory. .

Finally he found the distorted node, tore apart the dream, and everything around him began to collapse. Before leaving, Avandell said to the phantom, "I will find Yours, I will not only kill you, but also let you see with your own eyes how I razed the world that you want to save with my life before you die."
