Chapter 40: Nightmare Swamp

The girl lay on a simple wooden bed, her forehead covered in sweat. Her expression kept twisting and changing as if she was deep in a nightmare.

Cass tried tugging at her arm, but the other party didn’t react at all.

He turned to look at Liz, who was flying in midair.

“It’s not usually like this,” Liz said innocently.

With that said, she made a tossing motion, and a handful of dust that shone with a golden luster landed on the girl’s face. Instantly, the tense muscles on the girl’s face relaxed a little, and her eyelids began to tremble slightly as if she was about to wake up.

However, this situation lasted less than ten seconds. As the dust gradually dissipated, she returned to her previous state.

“Generally speaking, she should be awake by now.”

Liz looked at Cass with an expression that said: “This definitely isn’t my problem.”
She wore this expression every time she caused trouble.

Cass sighed and said, “Why don’t you try to wake her up using tougher means? She looks like she’s just having a nightmare.”

Before Liz could answer, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

“It’s useless. Her soul is in the Nightmare Swamp now. That’s the Moon Realm of the Lord of Nightmare. Ordinary methods can’t wake her up.”

Cass turned his head and saw Nizemar standing at the door. She had changed into her previous outfit. She had an exquisite repeating crossbow on her back and a silver rapier at her waist.

“You said you would come to me soon. It’s so soon?” Cass asked curiously when he saw her.
“I just received new information that the duke is about to take action, so I came to look for you.”

As Nizemar spoke, she walked to the bed and placed her hand on the girl’s forehead. After a while, she said, “A faerie’s Dream Dust will change the effects of the dream according to the user’s emotions. The faerie from before had too much going through her emotionally when she fell asleep, causing her to fall into a nightmare.”

Cass nodded and said, “I know that. I’ve experienced it a few times before. It wasn’t easy.”

“Hey!”

“But it’s not to the point of not waking up, right?” Cass ignored Liz’s protest and asked.
“Generally speaking, that’s the case, but in the tunnel earlier, you happened to encounter the spawn of the Lord of Nightmare. It connected this child’s nightmare to the Nightmare Swamp through its authority.”

As Nizemar spoke, she took out a letter and quill from her bag and sat at the side to write something.

“Who’s the Lord of Nightmare?” Cass asked.

“One of the Void Sovereigns-in charge of nightmares, illusions, and mist, which can turn the normal into abnormalities. The Nightmare Swamp is Her domain, and it’s connected to every mortal’s nightmare. The Lunar Monster that almost killed you previously is a spawn called the Mist Nightmare under Her command. They can revive inanimate humanoid objects through possession,” Nizemar answered as she wrote.

Her words reminded Cass of the puncture wound in his abdomen and the skeletons he couldn’t kill.

“Is the Lord of Nightmare the Void Sovereign Duke Simon wants to summon to Currere?” Cass frowned and asked.

“Not necessarily, but it’s indeed one of the possible options. The ancient Blackwater Kingdom had a long history of believing in the three Moon Realm goddesses, and the Lord of Nightmare was one of them.”
