The Witcher: Elemental Lords

The aura of the soul body changed, and the ethereal and confident air instantly vanished.

Dolly watched this change, simply observing without taking advantage of his plight.

He released his senses, scanning the opponent with all his might, but the scanned content was very weak. He could only sense that the opponent's energy level was extremely high, and the quality of his mental power was far superior to Dolly's.

However, the problem arose: the quantity was too small.

Therefore, Dolly was naturally not afraid.

He looked at the opponent and said, "There's no need to look. This is an independent space, with no connection to the outside world. Within this space, there's only me and you."

The purple light had now formed a concrete human shape, that of an aloof old man with a sharp gaze full of arrogance, as if he didn't even care about heaven and earth.

He looked at Dolly and slowly said, "I didn't expect you to have some skill, little brat. I was careless and fell into your trap."

Although it was just a wisp of mental power incarnate, it was separated from his main body, possessing the main body's powerful attributes and knowledge. Looking at the young man before him, he still felt some admiration.

Few people could remain so calm in the face of him, looking at him with the gaze of a hunter sizing up prey. This feeling was quite peculiar.

Dolly retreated slightly, putting a little more distance between himself and the old man.

At this moment, the surrounding space shattered, revealing the outside world, because Shi Liuwu's mental world had completely collapsed and been absorbed by the old ancestor behind him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Shi Liuwu called you Ancestor Nightmare. I wonder if you are he?"

Ancestor Nightmare glanced around, confirming that this was indeed an independent space, unable to receive even a trace of his main body's consciousness. He felt somewhat apprehensive. If it were his main body, he could kill the young man before him with a wave of his hand, causing him to go insane. But now he was just a weak fragment of his being, and his power was greatly insufficient. He had only slightly devoured a bit of Shi Liuwu's mental power, not enough to affect the other party.

"I am Nightmare. Since I've fallen into your hands, what do you want to ask? Such an outstanding young man like you is wasted staying in this small place. If you can follow me, I can give you command of an empire."

Dolly glanced at the other party, frowning. What did he mean by this? He had an empire for someone to command? What a joke!

An empire could be large or small. Large ones were like the Glory Empire, a behemoth, while small ones were like the Northwestern Kingdoms, not even as large as a county like Wasenborg. There was much to be said about this.

If the other party was rooted in the Northwest, they must have spies in the Northwestern Kingdoms. It seemed that the other party's strength was quite deep, capable of influencing the fate of a small country.

He smiled faintly, "I currently occupy Mount Albis. What's the difference between that and occupying a small country? Your Excellency, please talk about your origins. Let's not talk about these meaningless things."

Ancestor Nightmare looked at the young man before him, pondering slightly. The other party might have guessed where he was. The Northwestern Kingdoms were indeed pitifully small.

He slowly said, "My origins? Aren't you clear about them?"

Dolly blinked and shook his head, "Not clear."

Ancestor Nightmare was somewhat surprised. Judging from the current development, at least the Glory Empire already knew his information. This young man was building a city in the Northwest region, yet he didn't know his name?

He found it somewhat interesting, so he said, "I am the Fourth Prince of the Nightmare Empire. Our Nightmare Empire is about to be restored, and the Northwestern Kingdoms will be a part of our restoration. If you join us, you can at least command a province."

Dolly frowned. A Fourth Prince who could reach the level of an Eighth Grade? How was that possible?

He simply didn't believe it. This guy was likely Ancestor Nightmare himself.

He thought for a moment, looked at the other party leisurely, and said, "Regardless of your origins, background, or strength, if you want to carry out your so-called restoration, that's your business. Whatever means you take is up to you. As it stands, your Nightmare Empire is just a sneaky rat, even able to use enemies of life like necromancers. From this, it can be seen that the essence of this Nightmare Empire is nothing special."

He thought of Wasenborg's concealment of information from him, probably because they were afraid of this Nightmare Empire's power to actually establish a country. Clearly, their backing was very strong.

Ancestor Nightmare's face darkened. Whether it was the Nightmare Meditation Technique or the Death God Meditation Technique, they were the foundation of the Nightmare Empire and could not be abandoned. Necromancers were indeed enemies of life, but wanting them to give this up was simply impossible.

His face turned gloomy as he looked at Dolly and said, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I'm kindly recruiting you, don't be ungrateful."

Dolly looked at him and suddenly laughed, "It's okay, your main body won't know about our conversation today. Rest in peace."

Ancestor Nightmare immediately became vigilant. His body moved, and mysterious magic patterns flew out from his body. Instantly, his entire being disintegrated, turning into a sky full of purple light, taking the lead in flying towards Dolly's direction, and very quickly.

Those purple lights and runes were emitting a strange power. Dolly suddenly felt a trance before his eyes and unconsciously recalled many years ago. Childhood scenes appeared in his pupils.

Facing such a behemoth who was very likely to be an Eighth Grade, how could Dolly dare to take it lightly? The moment his mental state was slightly off, he immediately shouted loudly, and lightning surged from his body, stimulating his flesh and spirit.

The strange power immediately dissipated a lot, but Dolly still felt that his mental power was somewhat unstable.

Dolly knew that he had too great a gap in the essence of mental power with the other party. He was now a ball of cotton, and the other party was a stone. There was a lot of cotton, but in terms of texture, it was not as good as the stone at all. If the other party wanted to deal with him, they could start from this point. The only thing Dolly wanted to counterattack with now was lightning. This kind of thing didn't need a good texture at all. From a weak bit of electrical elements to powerful thunder, they were essentially the same.

He suddenly shook, and infinite lightning surged from the Child of the Storm, surrounding his entire body. The electrical elements vibrated, expelling the alien mental power, and the strange power disappeared instantly.

His whole person became much clearer, and then he scattered his hands.

Void Lightning Net, Electric Light Hand, Thunder Summoning Technique, he simulated all the lightning-based wizardries he knew with mental power at once.

In an instant, the entire small world completely lit up, as if surrounded by lightning.

The surrounding purple was shrouded in electric light, and a shrill scream was immediately emitted. Large swaths of purple were struck by lightning, scorched, high temperatured, burned, and dissipated in large swaths, watching the purple directly dissipate in the lightning.

However, there was still a part of the purple light that was very stubborn. They quickly contracted, entangled together, resisting the intrusion of lightning.
