Chapter 72 What's Behind the Door

"Laugh! Damn it, didn't you just look down on him as well?"

Yani blushed and complained loudly. So everyone tacitly looked away, leaving him alone like a clown.

While everyone was chatting, Anvis's spell guidance was completed. A transparent ray shot out from his hand, hitting the magic node hidden in the trap.

The air in front of the corridor fluctuated like water, and circles of transparent and dreamy ripples echoed in the air.

But as the rays continued, the ripples gradually began to weaken and eventually became calm again.

After disarming the trap, Anvis slowly came to the closed door of the library.

Strange and twisted black lines cling to the surface of the thick bronze door. In the center of the gate, there is also a short line of ancient Manni written on it.

Judging from the handwriting, it seems that the writer did all this simply by relying on his fingers.

"In the face of mystery, one must not lose awe——"

It seems a little weird...

His blue eyes reflected the writing on the door. Anvis did not push the door open immediately, but paused.

In his perception, some unknown aura lingered behind the door, giving him a slight sense of depression.

New trap? Or some kind of guard? Or is it just a bluff?

.

….….

"He passed the trap!"

"Hey, the fun is about to begin. The test in the library is not that simple!"

"What's behind the door?"

"Who knows? In the years since I came to Pamir, there have been two occasions when freshmen passed the trap in front of the library, but they did not choose to open the door in the end."

In the room at the top of the tower, many old students couldn't help but hold their breath slightly as they looked at Anvis standing quietly in front of the door.

With surprise, curiosity, and the emotion of making up for some regrets from the past, I looked forward to his choice.

.

….….

"A multiple-choice question? A test of wisdom or courage?"

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Anvis pondered for a moment.

Although this is just the welcome ceremony of the Academy of Mysteries and Ruins, the large library is probably not within the reach of ordinary freshmen.

In other words, this is a test for the strongest freshmen. Just like the "additional questions" at the end of the test paper, which are slightly more difficult than the outline.

So……

Turning his eyes as blue as the sky, Anvis glanced at the pigeon standing on his shoulder.

"Dear Pigeon, could you please go and see what is behind the door?"

Sorry, I need to read the reference answers before answering the question.

"Gu? Okay Gu——"

The pigeon nodded, flapped its wings and flew to the door, then slowly poked its head into the door.

It seemed that because the door was thicker, the pigeon continued to penetrate further, and the upper half of its body was completely submerged in both doors.

After a few seconds, the pigeon retracted its head and returned to Anvis's shoulder.

"Gu, there's a strange black mass inside. It's probably bigger than this door!"

"Very well, thanks for your help, Pigeon."

Anvis smiled and touched the pigeon's head, then fell into thought.

A black blob bigger than a library door?

Alienated hatred? Dark matter? Abnormal dreams? Or some more ancient weird existence?

For a moment, Anvis thought of several powerful existences that looked like dark lumps.

Then, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, and realized that this was just a welcome ceremony for new students after all, and no matter how outrageous the college was, there was no way it would do those things.

If the restriction is not dangerous to the new students...

With a guess in his mind, Anvis took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed it on the cold door covered with lines, and suddenly exerted force with his hands.

.

….….

"He pushed away!"

"What's behind the door?"

"Gulu——"

Seeing the door being slowly pushed open, everyone's attention was focused to the highest point, and some people couldn't help but swallow nervously.

"Look! What is that?!"

"Looks like a big black mass?"

"It's squirming!"

"Why didn't the freshman run away? Was he too scared to move?"

As the door opened, the people at the top of the tower secretly observing through the crystal ball also saw the strange existence behind the door.

This was the first time for most students to see such a strange existence, and they couldn't help but comment in surprise.

However, Anvis, who was standing at the door, was not as scared as everyone imagined, but confirmed his previous guess.

Lower-level nightmares are common monsters in the dream world. They have no fixed form and will appear as the most feared existence in the hearts of professionals. They feed on the fears of professionals. All attack methods are illusions.

It comes with a low-level fear field, which can be reduced by psychic protection spells and is immune to simple physical attacks.

Weaknesses are magic of the holy, light, and dream attributes.

Recommended challenge level: Level 2.

"It was a nightmare, because we were observing through a projection, so we could see its original form."

Finally, a girl with long light green wavy hair and a third level of strength spoke up and explained the characteristics of nightmares to everyone.

"Now, the newcomer's knowledge reserve will be tested. If you know the characteristics of nightmare, then it is not difficult to deal with, but if you don't know..."

At the end of the sentence, the girl couldn't help but shake her head.

Nightmare is difficult to distinguish quickly, but it ignores physical attacks and is extremely resistant to most magical attacks. If you are hit by it without checking, you will fall into an endless nightmare, which is very difficult to deal with.

But on the contrary, if you can quickly identify its true identity, then dealing with it will become extremely simple.

.

….….

In the library, looking at the lump of nightmare that was no different from what everyone saw at the top of the tower. Anvis smiled silently, raised his hand and cast a second-level dream magic: [Nightmare Expulsion]

This is a second-level spell with a very simple model, and even some slightly talented first-level spellcasters can cast it easily. The penetration rate can be regarded as bad, at least in the eyes of Anvis.

As a hazy colorful light flashed by, the pitch-black mass disappeared instantly and was expelled back to the dream world.

What Anvis fears most right now is undoubtedly the figure of holy light that has surpassed the ninth level.

But such a strong person cannot be simulated by a mere low-level nightmare.

Not to mention pigeons. The nightmare may not even be able to understand the existence form of pigeons, let alone become the thing that pigeons fear.

There was nothing the Nightmare could do against the combination of Anvis and Dove.

.

….….

"Look, the freshman won!"

"Instant Nightmare Banishing Spell! His caster strength is at least level two!"

"That's not all. The biggest difficulty in fighting nightmares is how to quickly identify the nightmare's true identity."

"And he was able to identify the true form of the nightmare almost instantly. This judgment and knowledge reserve... this new student is definitely extraordinary!"

At the same time, everyone at the top of the tower was in an uproar again.

After witnessing this with his own eyes, no one regarded Anvis as a new student, but as an equal.

Many people have already thought of making friends at this time.
