Chapter 573 - An Ancient Nightmare Form
“Witch of Wasteland” Sennefer.
Sennefer was considered a great heroine among all witches even if one did not consider her position in Moonfrost Union.
Throughout history, the number of witches was always slim compared to wizards. And even fewer, when it came to witches with great achievements. Females were usually more prone to emotional affairs. There were many stories based on how a witch felt content for finding true love and thus giving up her future ambitions.
However, such emotions were extremely fragile when wizards and witches tended to live long lives. Very few people could maintain their bonds to the end. And when such bonds were broken, witches were more likely to become victims who had their faith crippled.
Sennefer, however, was a very different witch compared to others. This woman had completely given up on finding affection and love—she based her lifestyle solely on her own ideals, even more so than most wizards.
Sennefer was a true genius. In less than a century, she became a level-2 wizard and found the “path of truth”. Such a feat was almost as astounding as what Sunders had done.
She was a Bloodline wizard too, which made her a perfect model for Nausica to study from.
When he was with Nausica, Angor often heard her speaking of Sennefer’s name as well as the many symbolic battles displayed by the great witch.
After several calls from the VIP guests, the bid was increased to one million within a matter of seconds, and at the same time, this told the other participants that the scroll was probably real.
Everyone, including those who mocked Melantha earlier, gazed at the item with passionate and coveting looks.
Meanwhile, a certain young guest in Room 012 was thinking about another question.
“A Nightmare Form?…” Angor looked at his professor. The concept of “Nightmare Form” flashed in his mind as soon as he heard Melantha talking about someone who kept his memory.
According to Sunders, only Nightmare Forms could fully retain their memories upon leaving the Nightmare Realm. Or to be precise, high-level Nightmare Forms.
Sunders considered and nodded firmly. “Correct. A Nightmare Form is also called a ‘Nightmare Watcher’ by the natives living in Nightmare Realm. But the talent of a Nightmare Form cannot be observed before one enters Nightmare Realm for real. So, there was someone else in history who was lucky enough to stumble into Nightmare Realm as a Nightmare Form and made it out, just like you.”
Compared to this, Angor was more interested in the fact that Nightmare Realm existed since ancient times.
But why didn’t any mighty wizard mention it then? Well, we have someone who called it “Dreamland” and that’s about it. There should be more records!
“Perhaps Nightmare Realm existed very far from the wizarding world previously. So far, that the distance isn’t something that can be explained by human knowledge. And by chance, someone found a tunnel to it, which soon disappeared. Whereas recently, the Nightmare Realm has been moving ‘closer’ to our world, thus allowing more tunnels to show up.”
It was Sunders’ assumption. Without solid proof, he could only provide these opinions.
“I think the scroll is honestly a record about Nightmare Realm, so um…” Angor saw his professor lost in thought and decided to remind him of something. “Professor? The price is reaching two million now. Aren’t you going to join the competition?”
