The Might of the Hundred Flowers! The Nightmare King!

"Lady Elena, when shall we explore the Nightmare World again? Anais should be back by now— Levi"

"Let's go, I'm fine now. Let's meet at Triss's Cottage's Cottage at the House of Witches — Elena"

After sending the message, Elena put away her communication device.

That year, she specifically researched some methods to target Anais, and now she could try them out.

Triss's Cottage.

Levi rushed over.

"It's been a year, and your mental strength has improved again. Not bad," Elena said.

"I bet Levi's next line will be: 'Just a little bit of gain.'" Triss looked at Levi with a playful gaze.

Through her long-term interactions with Levi, Triss has thoroughly figured out Levi's rhetoric.

"Haha, that's interesting," Elena couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, enough joking around. You guys go ahead and solve the problem quickly so you can come back soon... If possible, bring back some of the Nightmare Lord's body material so I can study it and see if I can make some potions specifically for the Nightmare Lord. That way, if Nightmare invade in the future, we can be prepared in advance," Triss said.

Thank you, ma'am.

Levi felt envious.

Ai Niya is so lucky to have a mother like that. Unlike me, I was born an orphan and have relied entirely on myself and my computer panel since I was a child.

This kid still doesn't understand Triss's good intentions. I'll have to find a chance to teach him a lesson later.

This time, when they entered the Nightmare World, Rose wasn't there; she was with Nute. Now that the anchor point has been established, Levi no longer needs Rose.

"Lady Elena, I'll be going now." He said, then lay down on the bed.

Elena nodded and said, "Be careful, wait for you to pull me."

Nightmare World of red and black.

In the Chaotic Wilderness.

In the valley, the Nine Infants lay on the ground fast asleep, all nine heads snoring.

Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke appeared on the altar, followed by the appearance of a small, ferocious Black Dragon.

Nine Infants hurriedly ran over and tried to curry favor with the Black Dragon.

Levi felt that he didn't even need the Scarlet Contract to tame this guy.

He transformed into human form, donning jet-black Magic Armor.

"Nothing happened while I was away, right?" Levi asked.

Nine Infants nodded.

Without wasting any time, Levi placed all the Nightmare Crystal he had prepared beforehand into the altar.

Using the Nightmare Dragon Power as a catalyst, in the next moment, all the crystals began to melt, flesh and blood began to condense, bones, skin... Finally, Elena's figure appeared before us. She was wearing armor-type defensive magical artifacts, carrying a greatsword on her back, and her eyes were tightly closed.

"Wake up... my comrades!"

Elena opened her eyes, looked herself over, and then glanced at Levi.

"Why does it feel like... this time it's faster than last time?" she suddenly asked.

"Because I'm more skilled this time," Levi said without hesitation.

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll send my pet over there to scout things out first, and then we'll go over," Levi said.

"Can."

Levi immediately ordered Nine Infants to fly towards the Nightmare Spider Territory.

He set up a small monitoring array on Nine Infants, which could share Nine Infants's vision in real time.

After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the Nightmare Spider Territory, where the Flesh and Blood Forest lay ahead.

From afar, Nine Infants saw the phantom of the giant creature above the forest.

The colossal creature had the body of a spider, with eight legs that resembled pillars supporting the sky, reaching a height of a thousand feet, and eight female faces gazing in all directions.

One of the faces suddenly spotted the Nine Infants in the distance.

The next moment, white spider silk pierced through the void and appeared directly in front of Nine Infants, piercing through it. Nine Infants's aura quickly disappeared, and it fell to the ground.

"As expected of the Human-Faced Spider, its senses are incredibly strong. It was able to detect the Nine Infants even though it was nearly a thousand miles away from that illusory figure."

As for the giant spider phantom, it was just some kind of deceptive illusion, not Anais's true form.

What a pity, Nine Infants...

Just as Levi was silently mourning for Nine Infants, he discovered through the Scarlet Contract that Nine Infants was not dead! The next moment, a strange bird flew in from the horizon, which was Nine Infants.

However, it now only has eight heads, and its strength is only around that of Fourth Ring senior.

The Nine Infants Serpent flew to Levi's side with a thud, its body still trembling, clearly frightened.

Levi was startled.

This young man seems to have more than one life.

After communicating with Nine Infants, he learned that this thing actually had "nine lives." It must have been killed by Anais's methods... but it was resurrected.

The only cost is a missing head, and unlike Levi's head, it can't regrow quickly.

It will take a long time for him to recover to the nine-headed state. Then, he will have nine lives again.

"Damn it, with such freakish abilities, how come you're even more cunning than me?"

Of course, this rebirth is contingent on the fact that all nine heads have not been destroyed.

The soul of the Infant Bird is extremely special; as the number of its heads increases, its soul will also split accordingly.

In other words, the soul of the Nine Infants is scattered in its nine heads. As long as it is not killed all at once, the Nine Infants will not die. This is the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

After suffering a fatal attack, Nine Infants will use one of its heads, sacrificing one of its souls to "take its place"! In this way, the other eight souls survive.

In Levi's view, Nine Infants has a bright future, as long as he learns the art of survival like himself!

Nine Infants traded his life for some useful information for Levi, saying:

"Anais is in the crimson forest in the center of the Nightmare Spider Territory. She used illusions to create a giant spider phantom, probably to intimidate intruders. One of her abilities is to shoot spider silk from the void, which has extremely strong penetrating power. Her perception range is very far. I estimate that she sensed us before we sensed her. Moreover, she has a strong ability to foresee danger. She must be on guard now..."

"It seems a sneak attack is out of the question; we'll have to fight head-on," Elena said.

"That's right, this is going to be a tough battle."

"Next, I'll deal with Anais. I'll cast Flower Barrier on you. Wait for me here," Elena said.

Levi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news here."

Immediately afterwards, a familiar barrier enveloped him, enveloping him in a sense of security.

This is not the time for Levi to show off. Facing Anais, with his strength, going with Elena would only cause her trouble and would not serve any purpose.

Therefore, from the moment he entered this place, he clearly defined his role.

Stay in the valley until Elena defeats Anais.

After all, if he, as the Nightmare Lord, dies and returns to the city, then even if Elena is about to win the battle, she will be forced to return to the city.

Killing Anais next time will be even more difficult.

After saying goodbye to Levi, Elena left the valley.

Nightmare Spider Territory.

Below the giant spider phantom is a Nightmare Main Tree that is hundreds of feet tall, located in a cave beneath the main tree.

The Nightmare Creature were restless, as were the wizards Patricia and Brand who were enslaved.

On a huge platform in the center of the cave, a humanoid creature with a round belly like a spider but eight human faces was scanning everything with its dark yellow eyes.

This is the true form of Anais! Her body is covered with billions of black spider bristles, which are now surging violently, foreshadowing impending danger! As the Nightmare Lord, this is a feeling he hasn't experienced in a long time.

"Intruders have trespassed into our territory! Kill them!"

The next moment, a surging army of Nightmare Creature poured out of the cave like a tidal wave.

Most of these Nightmare Creature have heads that resemble Anais's human face.

Beauty Snake, a beautiful crow, a beautiful cockroach... extremely bizarre and discordant.

Patricia grinned and said, "I never expected that someone would actually invade our Nightmare Spider Territory. They really don't know what's good for them."

She led a small squad of wizards, following behind the main army.

Matriarch Anais floated in mid-air, her figure gradually merging with the giant spider phantom in the sky.

Ahead, a human woman with an icy expression stood suspended in mid-air.

"Humans? Looks like you're a traveler from the Wizard World. I didn't go looking for you, but you came to me of your own accord," Anais laughed.

A vibrant, fiery rose shot towards Anais from in front of Elena! "You hideous creature, prepare to die!"

Swoosh.

This seemingly ordinary rose was like a missile! It was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Anais in an instant.

Anais pushed with both hands; as a Human-Faced Spider, her mental power was extremely strong! The rose that shot towards her stopped abruptly a short distance in front of her.

Elena's expression remained unchanged as she softly said:

"Burst!"

Petals shattered and exploded! A violent shockwave swept in all directions.

Anais's expression changed, and then she retreated several steps.

Some of the Nightmare Creature that tried to ambush Elena were instantly annihilated, leaving no remains, and even the Nightmare Crystal turned to dust.

"A seasoned Primal Soul Wizard of the Sixth Ring?" Anais exclaimed in surprise.

As the Nightmare Lord, she frequently travels to the Blood Rain Overlord's territory to discuss plans to invade the Wizard World.

I know a little about wizards, and I know that Sixth Ring wizard is comparable to Nightmare Lord. And a seasoned Sixth Ring wizard is even more extraordinary!

However, within her territory, as the Nightmare Lord, she also possesses corresponding strength, so she is not afraid.

That's why she's unwilling to give up her territory.

On one hand, she can command countless Nightmare Creature and rise above thousands of others.

On the other hand, the territory itself can also amplify the Nightmare Lord; the larger the area, the greater the amplification!

The lords called this increase "Nightmare Domain"! "Patricia, Brad, you lead the Fungus Squad to see if any other wizards have infiltrated the territory, and also search the surrounding Chaotic Wilderness. If you find any, kill them immediately!" Anais on high alert.

Upon receiving the order, Patricia immediately led a group of bizarre wizards, some of whose organs were fungal, to begin a thorough search.

Before Anais, strands of white silk fluttered about.

"Threading!"

Eight silk threads wrapped around her spider legs, and then, under her control, covered an area of dozens of miles in radius! These silk threads were like the sharpest swords, shearing away layers of rocks and trees.

Fortunately, the Nightmare World is of a very high standard and has a solid structure. If it were in the subspace, even a small area of space would be unstable during a battle of Origin Soul. Attacks could cause the void to shatter, and Legendary Wizard could even tear apart crystal walls, shaking the continent! Flower Language - Thousand Mountains Flying Butterflies! Countless butterflies fluttered around Elena, making her like a nimble butterfly, flitting and moving among the impenetrable spider web. Occasionally, some attacks would land on her, but they would be blocked by the force field.

At the same time, she was muttering incantations, seemingly preparing some powerful spell.

She possesses Nine Innate Spells, and the combinations and pairings between these spells are all carefully researched by her. She has no worries about not having enough talent and can adapt to most situations.

What she was preparing was a unique spell after the Origin Soul, also known as "Origin Soul spell".

The Origin Soul spell requires the manipulation of elemental power to be cast, and it is extremely powerful, but with her current level of cultivation, she is not yet able to cast the spell with a single thought.

Anais felt an increasing sense of crisis. She realized that if she didn't deal with that woman quickly, she might face annihilation.

Suddenly, all her white silk threads gathered together, twisted into a bundle, and transformed into a long white whip! Crack! Crack! Crack! The sound of whipping through the air was deafening.

The whip was so fast that Elena's "Thousand Mountains Flying Butterflies" could not dodge it.

Fortunately, she wasn't as specialized in one subject as Ai Niya.

The Words of Flowers: Beautiful Imprisonment! The Words of Flowers: Starry Sky Forever! A Violet flew toward Anais, while another starflower scattered into a sky full of stars, adding another defensive talent spell outside Elena's Origin Soul Protective Force Field.

She also had a talent spell, [Flower Barrier], which she cast on Levi. She couldn't use it again until that spell expired.

Violet, like Heavenly Net, enveloped Anais. Suddenly, Anais's eight faces opened, and thousands of Nightmare Creature emerged from their mouths, tearing at Violet and trying to stop her from falling.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she launched a fierce attack on Elena's Protective Force Field, which cracked and broke with a series of sounds.

She has been the Nightmare Lord for many years. In fact, with the abilities of the Human-Faced Spider, she is not good at direct combat, but this is the Nightmare World, her home ground.

Elena's eyes flashed with killing intent! Behind her, the Origin Soul Wizard Manifestation: Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees suddenly appeared! The Witch Image can amplify the power of Origin Soul spells.

At the same time, the shamanic form itself can also serve as a means of attack and defense, similar to Levi's Bloodline Avatar.

"Origin Soul Spell: Mandala Umbrella!" As the Flower Witch finished casting her spell, the giant tree behind her suddenly swayed, and a mandala flower with a diameter of a thousand meters transformed into a pale purple umbrella that blotted out the sky! The giant umbrella emitted an irresistible suction force, unexpectedly sucking the Human-Faced Spider below into it.

Not only that, but thousands of nightmare monsters in the surrounding area were all sucked in.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Accompanied by sounds coming from inside the giant umbrella, it seemed as if something enormous was hitting the umbrella surface.

Elena quickly used her Yuanhun Wuxiang (Primal Soul Wizard Form) to mobilize the elemental power of heaven and earth to suppress and refine Anais, who was sealed within.

At the same time, a colorful bracelet appeared on her fair, jade-like arm.

As Art Power surged in, the bracelet continued to enlarge, eventually becoming like the rings of Jupiter, with a diameter of over a thousand feet!

Comprising this magnificent, seven-colored star ring are countless petals of various kinds.

At this moment, Elena is the Queen of Hundred Flowers! The Origin Soul Artifact - Star Ring! As Elena's natal soul artifact, its power is naturally incomparable to Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact.

As soon as the Star Ring appeared, the surrounding elemental forces surged even more frantically.

The Star Ring began to rotate slowly, like a millstone that grinds everything in its path!

As it rotated, a huge vortex began to form between heaven and earth.

Countless Nightmare Creature were swept up in it and died instantly! A powerful gravitational force firmly sealed the Mandala Umbrella and the Amans within it, rendering them unable to move.

However, due to the Nightmare Lord's powerful vitality, Elena knew that it might take some time to completely annihilate this Nightmare Creature.

With this thought in mind, she sat cross-legged in the void, and from her ring flew out eight level four and two level five Alchemy creatures.

These Alchemy creatures all have a uniform appearance; they are all female swordswomen wearing armor.

She commissioned a Fifth Ring wizard from Alchemy school to make this for her, just in case; she rarely needed it.

Now that there aren't enough people, they've come in handy.

"It's a pity that Alchemy at the Origin Soul level are so rare, otherwise I could have someone customize a level six Alchemy creature," Elena sighed.

She unleashed several beams of light, sending piles of Great Stone into the Alchemy creatures as if they were free, and then chanted incantations to activate them.

Then, these Alchemy creatures protected Elena within them, acting as her guardians.

In the battle between the Primal Soul Wizard and the Nightmare Lord, Elena ultimately prevailed.

Despite having the "Nightmare Domain" buff and playing on home turf, Anais still underestimated Elena's strength.

In fact, if it were an ordinary Sixth Ring Origin Soul, it probably wouldn't be able to defeat Anais so easily.

However, Elena herself is Origin Soul with nine innate talents, and her abilities far exceed those of ordinary people.

She possesses exceptional talent; having achieved the Origin Soul in less than a century, she has already reached the advanced level of the Sixth Ring. Her spiritual power and Art Power far surpass those of ordinary Sixth Ring Origin Soul.

She has mastered three Origin Soul spells, each of which is an earth-shattering divine power.

In addition, she possesses powerful Soul Weapons— Star Ring and Wizard Manifestation: Hundred Flowers Thousand Trees— enough to rank her among the [Soul Artifact Ranking] and [Wizard Aspect Ranking]!

The ability to defeat Anais was not a matter of luck for her, but rather a testament to her true strength! It's important to understand that, looking at the entire Wizard World today, including her fifty Plane Federation and dimensional traveling wizards...

There are thousands of openly known Primal Soul Wizard, and if you add in some hidden old monsters, there may be even more.

The Soul Artifact Ranking and the Wizard Aspect Ranking are lists established by the [Thousand Stars Spire], a top-tier organization that is half-folk and half-official. The lists are for renowned Primal Soul Wizard and only include 1,000 of them.

Of course, the list includes wizards with publicly available battle records and those who voluntarily made the list.

Many low-key, cautious, and unassuming Origin Soul who don't want to be famous will not participate in the rankings.

Someone like Elena, who can rank on the list so soon after entering the Origin Soul, is quite extraordinary among Primal Soul Wizard.

Elena sat in the void, continuously channeling her Art Power to refine the Human-Faced Spider. Inside the Mandragora Umbrella, the commotion subsided, and its complete annihilation was only a matter of time! "Levi's side is protected by the barrier I bestowed upon him, so he should be fine. Speaking of which, a level six Nightmare Lord's corpse—some old fogies in the Wizard World researching the Nightmare World would be dreaming of it. Unfortunately, they don't have Levi's low-risk ability to enter the Nightmare World. Sister Triss is right, Levi is still worth investing in. In that case, I'll also add to my bet!"

Many Primal Soul Wizard, like Triss, invest in promising young talents with good character.

Firstly, they can gain the goodwill of a potential high-achiever at a negligible cost, and perhaps reap even greater rewards in the future.

Secondly, during their relatively long lifespans, in addition to their spiritual practice and research, they would also compete with each other by investing in younger generations, seeing whose investor would have the last laugh, which was also a kind of fun.

Behind many so-called independent cultivators, there are actually powerful figures at play.

On the other side.

In the valley.

Levi was inside Elena's protective barrier, awaiting the outcome.

"The battle between the Origin Soul is a protracted war, and there is still no winner yet."

Judging from his lord's mark, Elena is definitely alright; it's probably the final stages of the process by now.

Suddenly, Levi sensed danger. He immediately became alert, and more than ten layers of protection were ready to be deployed at any moment to defend against the enemy.

A group of wizards were traveling in the wilderness outside the valley.

Leading the group was Patricia, whose powerful mental energy scanned the area ahead, unaware that her master had already been suppressed.

"Judging from the danger perception, there should be a level five being coming. This is a bit troublesome... My magic array can easily hide from level four beings, but if it's a level five, it's a bit risky."

As Levi pondered, the Hidden Serpent Rune around him flickered, and then he vanished into nothingness.

Staying here would likely result in us being surrounded, so it would be better to leave discreetly and act according to circumstances.

The Nine Infants Serpent lay dormant in the valley, awaiting Levi's orders at any moment.

With the Hermit Rune, Levi spotted the approaching figure from afar.

"Patricia, it's her. She should be at the level of an ordinary Fifth Ring cultivator, similar to Ghost Mistress." Levi pondered to himself. Elena had learned all this from Leonard's soul search! Patricia, however, seemed unaware of Levi and continued forward.

After a moment's thought, Levi immediately turned back and quietly followed behind them.

The edge of the valley.

Patricia's gaze was icy as she said, "There's a magic circle here. It seems the wizards who invaded our territory came from this side... Now it appears Leonard was also killed by them. This was a premeditated invasion! Let's go in and investigate, then return to report to Matriarch Amans."

The group unleashed their abilities and began attacking the magic array set up by Levi.

Because Levi had only set up some simple concealment and protection formations, the formations broke down not long afterward.

"Judging from the magic circle, this wizard's strength shouldn't be very strong," Patricia analyzed to herself.

"Sir, look, it's that Infant Bird ...this fellow is here too," Brad said.

Upon discovering the approaching enemy, Nine Infants roared fiercely at them, and flames shot out from its eight heads.

"You're courting death!" The fungus on Patricia's lower body began to spread, eventually forming eight tentacles resembling octopuses, which lashed out at Nine Infants.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred! In the sky behind Patricia, against a backdrop of red and black.

Accompanied by a vast chanting of Buddhist hymns they had never heard before, a gigantic phantom, as tall as a twenty-story building, stood suspended in mid-air.

The giant had three heads and six arms, with a solemn appearance, wearing jet-black Magic Armor, and holding many divine weapons and witchcraft artifacts in his hands! The Six Paths Heavenly God descended! A figure sat cross-legged on the giant's head.

He pointed at Patricia with his right hand, and then the giant slashed out with his sword! The Annihilation Sword Qi, wrapped in Void Black Flame and Red Emperor Dragon Flame, swept out, and a black river hung upside down!

Boom! Accompanied by the explosion of the twin dragons playing with Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl and the overwhelming sword energy, most of the low-level Nightmare Creature within the area were killed or wounded.

Patricia's eight waving tentacles were all severed by the sword energy.

She reacted extremely quickly, and clusters of fungi formed a protective layer around her like armor.

The remaining sword energy poured onto the armor, shattering it and dissipating completely.

"He's an intruder! Kill him!" Patricia pointed at Levi and said angrily.

As the chief steward under Anais, she held a high position of power, but now she had lost face in front of so many subordinates, which made her extremely unhappy! In an instant, Brad and the other wizards, along with some Nightmare Creature, all rushed towards Levi.

"Deep Blue!"

Although Levi now possesses an invincible tortoise shell, he is not one to passively take a beating.

The Deep Blue body-refining clone separated from him, transforming into a blue monster. The Deep Blue arm turned into a blue greatsword, and countless blue vines shot out from his entire body.

Then, it went on a rampage, killing indiscriminately.

Levi leaped up from the head of the Six Paths Heavenly God.

"Kill that woman!"

The Six Paths Heavenly God do not require his real-time control; they can fight entirely on their own.

Instantly, the Six Paths Heavenly God activated his three great Dharma forms: [Wind Arises, Thunder Surges], [Crimson Emperor Burns the Heavens], and [Golden Serpent Frenzy Dance]! Wielding the Red Dragon Ironcleaver, his sword energy was unparalleled, tearing through the atmosphere, and he engaged in a fierce battle with Patricia controlled various fungi.

Patricia, at this moment, also used fungi to create a rotten and dilapidated behemoth, and fought a great battle with the gods.

Levi had the powerful gods wield the divine weapons and magical artifacts, while he himself relied on the invincible barrier, activated his Flame Dragon True Body, and used his innate magic to charge into the crowd.

"Fire Dragon Tribulation!"

"Wind Dragon Swiftness!"

He was like a phantom, invincible in slaughter; with each flash, a wizard or Nightmare Creature perished! He had never fought as exhilaratingly as he had today in the Mortal World.

Soon, the corpses of these Nightmare Creature piled up on the ground, and Nightmare Crystal were everywhere.

Before long, Levi, Deep Blue, and Nine Infants had wiped out all the wizards and Nightmare Creature.

"It's so satisfying to mow down enemies without worrying about them getting broken through. But this barrier is almost over. I wonder how Elena is doing?"

Levi quickly collected the spoils and Nightmare Crystal.

On the other side, the Six Paths Heavenly God unleashed earth-shattering power with every move, quickly overwhelming Patricia.

"So powerful! As expected, the might of my Six Paths Heavenly God is completely comparable to that of an ordinary Fifth Ring wizard!"

However, these descendants of the Dreamland Spire can no longer be considered proper wizards; their abilities do not come from magic, but from the "fungi" within their bodies! A blinding light shone in the sky, and intense heat swept in!

Fifth Ring Spell: Gathering Sun Transformation! The Six Paths Heavenly God began to unleash their ultimate killing move, the Fifth Ring Wizard Artifact: Secret Fire Ball.

Levi instantly felt his Art Power surging out like flowing water, quickly consuming thousands of points! Then, above Patricia's head, a fiery red sun began to form.

The Gathering Sun Transformation evolved from the Sun Splitting Strike, and its power far surpasses that of the Sun Splitting Strike!

Patricia wanted to avoid the attack for the time being, but she found that the magic arrays around her were shining brightly.

While Patricia was battling the Six Paths Heavenly God, Levi had already set up the Fourth Ring Demon Prison Cage.

Not only that, the Water Dragon's Chant Roar roared out, and the azure dragon tightly coiled around Patricia.

Levi even performed a Paralysis Technique and Serpent Eye Technique.

Unfortunately, they all failed.

However, relying on the magic circle and his innate magic, he successfully held Patricia back for a moment, completely shattering her hopes of escaping! Boom! The sun exploded.

The flames engulfed Patricia, where the temperature was high enough to instantly turn rocks into magma.

"Ahhh, Matriarch Anais... save me!" Patricia's heart-wrenching voice rang out.

Her last fungal armor shattered completely, and her bloated, oily body began to burn. She became a human torch, struggling, and soon fell silent.

"As expected, only fire can purify everything."

Levi rushed into the flames and collected the spoils from Patricia's body that had not yet been burned.

It was a small black bottle and a metal plate, which appeared to be some kind of knowledge transmission.

"The Art of Fungus - by the Fungus Queen... Is this the source of Patricia's and these wizards' power? The Fungus Queen, if I remember correctly, should be a powerful Abyss Lord comparable to a god. How is this related to the Abyss again?"

Levi felt a headache coming on.

It seems that the ability to control others with fungi is not Anais's original creation, but comes from this Fungus Queen.

"Put it away for now and study it later. Perhaps Miraya and Gilmore know more about it."

The black bottle had writing on it.

"Spore."

Spores are the reproductive bodies of fungi.

It doesn't specify what kind of spores it is; perhaps the answer lies in the book "The Art of Fungus".

After cleaning up the battlefield, Levi picked up many Storage Bag that had been rotten by fungi.

"There are no Great Stone, but there are many Nightmare Crystal, and a Wicked Artifact similar to the [Blood Axe]."

In Levi's hand was an exaggerated greatsword, somewhat curved, its surface covered with sharp barbs, looking like the tongue of some kind of creature.

Levi called it the "Tongue Sword" and then put it away.

"The heart is a giant axe, the tongue is a greatsword... These Wicked Artifact seem to be made directly from the organs of some kind of creature."

Aside from that, there weren't many other gains.

Given Levi's current level of understanding, he wouldn't even consider it.

The biggest gain was a massive amount of Nightmare Crystal.

The Nine Infants ran over, its body covered in wounds, but given its constitution, these would heal in no time.

Levi tossed it some of the corpses of Nightmare Creature, letting it devour them to satisfy its cravings.

The Six Paths Heavenly God transformed into golden specks of light and slowly dissipated. Levi sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his strength.

Not long after he dealt with Patricia and her group, Elena appeared pale in the Nightmare Spider Territory, seemingly having exhausted a great deal of her mental energy.

Before her eyes, the Star Ring shrank and eventually disappeared into her mind, hovering around the sixth level of the Law Ring Holy Tower, while the Mandala Umbrella slowly opened.

Among them was a giant spider corpse, as large as a small mountain, with eight human faces on it, all of which had their eyes closed and were now completely silent.

Lord of the Nightmare Spider Territory, the Human-Faced Spider Anais, is dead!

A vibrant green longsword imbued with innate magical power appeared in Elena's hand.

The Language of Flowers: The Agave Sword! The longsword pierced the hard body of the Human-Faced Spider as if it were metal, sparks flying everywhere. After an unknown amount of time, the Human-Faced Spider's carcass was completely dissected.

When a weak Nightmare Creature dies, many of its bodies disintegrate, leaving only the most solid Nightmare Crystal.

Even a powerful spider like the Human-Faced Spider can have its corpse remain intact for hundreds of years. If utilized, it can be used to forge magical artifacts, concoct medicines, and so on. Therefore, its entire body is a treasure, and even someone like Elena had a smile in her eyes at this moment.

The remains of a Lord-level Nightmare Creature have significant research value.

Next, after dividing the spoils with Levi, she planned to work with Triss to thoroughly study the corpses, which would be a major breakthrough in unveiling the mysteries of the Nightmare World.

Not long after, Levi, who had been passively clearing out the weaker monsters the whole time, arrived here.

"As expected of Lady Elena, killing the Nightmare Lord is a piece of cake," Levi laughed.

"Stop bragging. Take a look at these corpses and see if there's anything you need. Pick whatever you like. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get in here," Elena said, rolling her eyes at Levi.

Levi smiled slightly and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony, please don't take offense, sir."

Then he erected Protective Force Field and came to the corpse of the Human-Faced Spider.

"Even though I'm dead, the lingering power still makes me feel suffocated. The gap between me and the Origin Soul is like an insurmountable chasm," Levi Heart Sense.

He selected a large piece of the Human-Faced Spider, its back.

"These should be enough for me to forge a Nightmare Dragon divine weapon..."

He put away the carapace, and on the Human-Faced Spider's abdomen, he saw a giant Nightmare Crystal the size of a human head, round and radiating a beautiful luster. "This high-grade Nightmare Crystal should also be used for refining weapons. Perhaps this is the most valuable thing on the Human-Faced Spider." He hesitated, unsure whether to take it or not.

Elena used her Wizard's Hand to pick up the Nightmare Crystal and handed it to Levi.

"I already told you, choose whatever you want, take it if you want it, don't dawdle... Next time we cooperate, I won't be so polite with you." Elena had already seen through Levi's thoughts and said directly.

"Thank you, my lord. I do need the Nightmare Lord's Nightmare Crystal, but I don't need this much. I will use the remaining crystal to forge a Nightmare Avatar that can perfectly unleash your power. That should be enough for you to use many times." Levi said with a smile.

Although he was the guide, Elena definitely wouldn't have been able to get in without him. The problem is that he didn't contribute anything other than leading the way to kill the Human-Faced Spider, so he felt bad about keeping the precious crystal for himself.

Even if Elena is a good person and doesn't hold a grudge against a junior like him, she will definitely still harbor some resentment.

Therefore, he decided to create a Nightmare Avatar for Elena that could be used multiple times.

After obtaining the Nightmare Crystal, Levi no longer coveted anything else; for him, the most important thing was territory.

"Don't you want it anymore?" Elena asked.

Levi nodded.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. But if I put these things in my Storage Bag, will they still be there when I return to the real world?" Elena suddenly thought of a question.

"Any of the Nightmare Avatar I create can take things back from here, so you don't need to worry, sir," Levi said.

Upon hearing this, Elena put the Human-Faced Spider's corpse into her Storage Bag, then her body disintegrated, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing from the spot.

The Endless Sea.

Elena suddenly opened her eyes from the bed.

"Did it go smoothly?" Triss asked with concern.

In the House of Witches, her closest friend was Elena; the two were like sisters, always supporting and helping each other.

"Everything went very smoothly, Rose can get a good night's sleep now." Elena smiled.

Where is Levi?

"He probably has other things to take care of, don't worry. His understanding of the Nightmare World far surpasses yours and mine. Sister, you have a good eye for people. He is indeed extraordinary and worth investing in," Elena said with a smile.

Triss, looking smug, said:

"Of course! Except for the time when I was blind to choose a partner, I'm always very accurate! Since you can't go to the Dark Ancient Tower, why don't you stay with me in the Endless Sea and study the Nightmare Lord's corpse?"

"Yes, that's what I think too," Elena said.

While the two women were chatting, Levi was still in the Nightmare World.

He arrived at the forest of flesh and blood, which had been largely destroyed by the aftermath of the battle. The central main tree remained unharmed.

"As long as the main tree is fine, it's only a matter of time before the other mother trees grow back. Let's start refining this main tree now and make this place my territory." Levi wasted no more time and immediately went to the main tree.

He transformed into the Nightmare Dragon Form, and a miniature Black Dragon appeared, Black Dragon forehead gently resting on the trunk of the main tree.

Levi could sense the immense life force and mysterious creative power emanating from the main tree.

The pitch-black Nightmare Dragon Power flowed into the main tree, fighting against the remaining power of the Human-Faced Spider within.

The Human-Faced Spider was already dead, and these forces were nothing but paper tigers, which were quickly and easily destroyed by Levi.

Without any obstruction, his consciousness roamed freely within the main tree, and along the main tree, he could also extend to the mother trees on all other root systems.

He saw the embryos of Nightmare Creature growing within the mother tree, the nightmare power from multiple dimensions constantly projected here, shaping their flesh and bones.

"What an amazing feeling."

After an unknown amount of time, the Nightmare Dragon Power within Levi was almost exhausted, and it was time to leave.

To his surprise, he discovered a Nightmare Dragon's mark inside the Nightmare Main Tree.

Meanwhile, it seems that there is a connection between the Nightmare Creature gestating in the mother tree and the Nightmare Dragon.

Nightmare Dragon is the ruler of this territory, and the Nightmare Creature born from this territory are born to be the Nightmare Dragon's subjects and can be commanded by the Nightmare Dragon.

In an instant, the Nightmare Creature that survived in this territory began to emerge.

These Nightmare Creature did not have Anais's face. Those Nightmare Creature with women's faces had vanished with the death of the Human-Faced Spider.

Levi noticed that several other level-four creatures, whose strength was similar to that of the Nine Infants, had also gathered there.

They all lay prostrate on the ground, surrounding Levi in his Nightmare Dragon Form, as if on a pilgrimage.

Moreover, Levi could also sense that with his entry into the territory, his strength had also improved in all aspects. This was the power of the "Nightmare Domain"!

Roar! With a dragon's roar, the Nightmare Dragon's black flames shot straight into the sky!

All the mountains and seas bowed in submission, and the hideous monsters roared to the heavens, proclaiming the birth of a new king! "Nightmare King!"

Looking down from high above, the Flesh Boundary Mountain surrounding the territory resemble the wrinkles on a giant's skin, stretching endlessly and crisscrossing.

On the boundary mountain, new writing began to emerge.

"Black Dragon Territory, Levi Nightmare... A malevolent dragon dwells within, do not disturb!"
