Chapter 407 Forced

Chapter 407 Forced
"what!!!"

Not knowing that someone was watching his live broadcast, Lyon fell to the ground with a thud. Not only did the veins on his forehead throb, but sweat was also oozing out of his entire body.

It hurts so much!!!

Seeing the gray fog giant's body weakened by the pain after being hit on the toe by his punch, Leon, who always liked to press on while winning, did not take the opportunity to hit him again for the first time. Instead, he staggered to his feet, pulled the stunned snow girl and turned around to run away.

"you you……"

After staggering for two steps, the Snow Girl, who thought that Leon would be killed in an instant, turned around in confusion and glanced at the Nightmare King whose face was twisted in pain. Then she couldn't help but turned her head back and said incoherently:
"It... you... just one punch? It just?"

What do you mean by "just" one punch? This punch almost killed me, okay? And I only controlled it for less than two seconds!
Looking at the [Screaming Hand] with hair-thin barbs sticking out from inside and outside, shining brightly in the sunlight, Leon's cheeks couldn't help but twitch violently.

This anomaly was made by the third-generation director using the soul of Director Aquarius's hands as the material for his own creation. In addition to being able to suppress the divinity of the true god's body and cause damage to it.

At the moment of the attack, it will also inject soul toxins into both itself and the opponent, helping both parties' souls and wills to remain clear, and producing incomparable and horrific pain, which is said to be able to bring the dead whose souls have not yet dispersed back to life briefly.

And he originally thought that relying on the invincible state granted by [Drunken Immortal], he could be immune to this terrible pain, so he tried to fight it just now, ready to fill the gap for the Nightmare King.

As a result, perhaps because the soul poison does not cause actual harm, but instead helps one stay awake, it is counted as a kind of "self-benefit" and is not exempted from the invincible state of [Drunken Immortal].

As a result, the poisonous punch cost him half his life. If it weren't for the soul poison's effect of keeping him awake, he would have fainted from the pain on the spot!

……

Damn...what happened to that punch?
Leon, who was mentally prepared, felt his scalp numbing from the poison of the [Screaming Hand]. The Nightmare King was not only completely unprepared, but he had just obtained the body when he was suddenly hit by this heart-wrenching punch. It really hurt so much that his soul was shaking.

If the soul of a true god level was not "heavy" enough, and the toxins of the spiritual nettle were not able to keep people awake, its soul and body would probably be separated directly, and the pain would make its soul leave its body on the spot.

Actually...having a body and a soul doesn't seem to be necessarily a good thing...

Having just obtained the flesh and soul that he had coveted for so long, he suffered such a great sin. Such thoughts inexplicably appeared in the mind of the Nightmare King, and then, the body he had just obtained became a little more erratic.

No, no, no! You can't think like that! You can't think like that!

Finding that his thoughts were vaguely out of control, and his body was also a little unstable, the Nightmare King quickly calmed himself and narrowed his eyes slightly which were hidden behind the gray mist.

Don’t trust everything Aquarius director says!

Following his advice, he did not use any fancy methods and attacked directly as soon as he appeared, hoping to rely on the purest physical strength to slap this dangerous cleaner to death.

But after slapping him several times in a row, the other party was not only still alive and kicking, he even put on a pair of strange gloves full of the aura of an Aquarius director, and hit him hard, even his own divinity was suppressed for a moment.

Conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy here!

The Aquarius director certainly wants the cleaner to die, but he also doesn't want himself, who can control him, to be alive. To him, the most perfect outcome is for himself and the cleaner to perish together. Killing himself is even more of a priority than killing the cleaner!

A steady hand...

Recalling the outrageously intense pain he had just felt, the gray fog giant, who did not want to experience it again, decisively ruled out the option of chasing with his physical body. Instead, he stood still and stretched out his hand towards the figure fleeing in panic in the distance.

The next moment, blood flowed and swords and spears formed a forest.

As a small piece of skin on the Nightmare King's arm peeled off, the winter clothes on Leon's body twisted and changed, and in an instant turned into a strange ancient armor. The scorching yellow sand under his feet also strangely turned into a bloody battlefield with corpses everywhere and shouts of killing.

Dozens of strong and armored soldiers were lined up in front of Lyon. Following the commander's shouting, they raised their spear-like weapons and stabbed at Lyon's head, face, chest and abdomen.

"Puff puff!"

Faced with the sudden change in the scene, Leon instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was too sudden. As the blood-stained spear tip reached his body, the sound of the sharp blade entering the body and cutting through the flesh came from Leon's chest and abdomen, startling him so much that he paused slightly...

Then there was nothing.

The moment the spear broke through the armor and touched Leon's skin, not only did the soldier holding the spear turn into nothing without any resistance in the drunken state of the "Drunken Immortal", even the battlefield filled with the sound of killing disappeared completely with this contact and turned into rolling yellow sand again.

Even if you forget that you possess the abnormal object, you still cannot interrupt this strange invincible state?

Staring at Leon who had changed into armor, the gray fog giant found that he was still not hurt. He pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand and grabbed his left arm that was sticking out of the fog.

"Crack!"

The sharp nails with curved hooks at the ends scratched, and the skinny flesh on the left arm of the Nightmare King actually made a sound like a broken mirror. A large amount of dark and crazy nightmares peeled off like flesh and blood, and dived into the yellow sand under the feet of the gray fog giant like fish, shaking its head and tail and chasing after Leon.

When faced with this kind of "strong" cleaner, the best way to deal with him is to eat him up directly, and use the countless nightmares in your body to wear down his spirit, causing his will to collapse and his soul to dissipate, turning him into an ignorant and unconscious empty shell.

But considering that the other party's memory is full of strange pollution, if you eat him directly, there is a possibility of being contaminated by him, so you have to put this consumption process "outside", so that even if it is contaminated, you can directly discard it!
……

The nightmare comes again.

The armor on Leon's body twisted and changed, turning into a light hunting suit. The desert in front of him turned into a dark forest. A giant bear with a pale white crescent on its chest stood up, waving its seven or eight-inch long claws and grabbing him on the head.

It was the general’s nightmare just now, has it become the hunter’s nightmare this time?

Listening to the violent roar of the giant bear and smelling the animal stench blowing in the forest night wind, Leon knew that this thing could not break the [Wine Fairy], so he simply took the bear's claws on his face and smashed the giant bear into bubbles. Then he turned his head and shouted to the Snow Girl behind him:

"Can you still use your ability? If you can, continue!"

"Ah? It can still be used..."

The Snow Girl, who also changed into a hunting outfit, asked in confusion:
"But my ability was given by him. If I use it in front of him, I will definitely be interrupted. Besides, you just came to this floor. Why don't you go find Director Scorpio?"

"No more looking for it!"

After changing into a miner's outfit and crashing into the collapsed mine, Leon continued to run forward while dragging the snow girl with coal dust all over her face, urging her:

"This desert is too big! Even if he is really on this level, there is no way to find him! Take me up!"

"..."

Tsk... Looks like he can still jump around for a while. During the conversation, she changed into a sailor's uniform and was dragged by Leon through the bubble of the nightmare of a shipwreck. Unable to resist the snakeskin scroll, the snow girl could only take a perfunctory breath and weakly blew out a small piece of cold air with ice crystals, which quietly gathered around the two of them.

"Yuki-onna?"

After noticing this scene, the Nightmare King in the distance frowned slightly as he looked at the two people who were about to escape from the endless desert. The next moment, a hoarse and low voice came faintly.

"You're going to betray me?"

? ! ! !
No...I've already clearly paddled, right? Why are you still in a hurry?

Faced with the harsh questioning from her former boss, the Snow Girl couldn't help but pause slightly, and a hint of panic appeared in her ice-blue eyes.

"I……"

"Although I crushed the core of your nightmare, I spared you from dozens of nightmares just now. I have been quite lenient towards you."

The world filled with yellow sand "folded" slightly, and after sending the gray fog giant in front of the two, the Nightmare King looked down at Leon and the Snow Girl below, narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"You saved my life thanks to my mercy, but you are planning to let my target go right in front of me? Is this how you plan to repay my kindness?"

"..."

Ah, do you think there is a possibility that I didn’t do it voluntarily?
Facing the Nightmare King's slowly raised finger, she realized that her former boss was really going to kill her. The aggrieved Snow Girl quickly opened her mouth and explained in a panic:
"Are you pretending to be your mother?"

"?"

"?!!"

Oh no! That's not what I wanted to say!

Finding that the words she uttered were completely contrary to what she was thinking, the Snow Girl's mind buzzed, and she hurriedly explained:
"I've been displeased with you for a long time!"

"You always like to put yourself on such a high pedestal, as if you are so great, but in fact you are just trash, you know that?"

"???"

"You do nothing all day long, hiding in that lousy black ditch of yours, not daring to take a single step out. I've never seen anyone as cowardly as you! You're a disgrace to the Dream World!"

"You threw all the dirty, hard and tiring work to us nightmare messengers, and you just sat there and asked us to hold back Director Huang Dao of the Cleanup Bureau... Where's your face?"

"!!!"

"I'm going to go against you today! Is that not okay? Just keep your temper to yourself!"

"If you have the ability, then arrest me and torture me for ten thousand years! If you can do it, if you make another sound in these ten thousand years, I will be your great-grandmother!"

"..."

After saying these words in an extremely arrogant manner, the Snow Girl came to her senses, looking at her former boss's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and turned her neck stiffly, looking in Leon's direction with a pale face.

Sure enough, that damn thing was holding that damn snake skin scroll and gave her an unusually friendly smile. Even though he didn't say anything and didn't even move his lips, the Snow Girl still understood the meaning behind that smile without any instruction.

"Work harder. After all, you don't want to be caught by the Nightmare King and tortured for ten thousand years, right?"

"..."

That’s great. Maybe there will be a vacancy for [Unfair Snake Contract], and the new employees are also motivated and working much harder than before.

Seeing the Snow Girl, who used to paddle whenever she could and delayed for every second, now puffing up her cheeks with anger and sorrow, and trying her best to blow out cold air, Leon couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and gave her an encouraging smile, but unfortunately he only got her angry look of grief and anger in return.

Stare as much as you want, as long as you work honestly! It's up to you whether you can escape from this desert!

After smiling nonchalantly, Leon picked up the unfortunate Snow Girl and continued to quickly escape from nightmares of all sizes.

The effect of [Unfair Snake Contract] is relatively simple. It can only allow oneself to "use" the Snow Girl, but it cannot make her identify with oneself from the bottom of her heart, nor can it make her betray the information and weaknesses of the Nightmare King.

But the Nightmare King can!
As long as the Snow Girl is not allowed to explain, the fact of her "betrayal and surrender to the enemy" is confirmed, the hatred is aroused and her retreat is blocked. As long as she does not want to be caught and tortured for ten thousand years, she can only exercise her subjective initiative and work harder.

……

"You don't really think you can get away, do you?"

He didn't know that Leon used his power to quietly force the Snow Girl to completely turn to him, but he saw it but didn't care.

Looking at Leon who was walking through nightmares and had changed hundreds of sets of clothes, the gray fog giant kept splashing new nightmares to try to wear down Leon's spirit, and said coldly:

"Nightmare is my home. No matter how far you run, it's just one step away for me. You can't run away."

Of course I know this, after all, you just demonstrated it once, and I'm not a fool.

Without responding to the Nightmare King's provocation, Leon relied on the ability of [Wine Fairy] to protect the Snow Girl so that she could continue to "print plane tickets" without being disturbed, while glancing at the long trail of footprints he left behind when he fled.

I should have almost enough saved up...

After counting the number of footprints, Leon raised his right hand and grabbed the [Dream Invader] on his chest. Then, in the shocked look of the Snow Girl, he turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Gray Mist Giant.

Hmm? What does he want to do?
He didn't understand Leon's purpose of turning around and rushing over, but he knew that if he was hit by his fist, it would hurt badly. After frowning, the Nightmare King immediately prepared to withdraw.

However, at this moment, the archer mark on the back of Leon's right hand lit up slightly, and one of the three small arrows suddenly shot out from his hand and pierced the [Dream Invader].

As the Nightmare King looked stunned, the footprints left by Leon as he fled began to light up with the same red light as that of the Dream Invader.

Then, a somewhat blurry Leon stood up from the footprints closest to the Nightmare King, raised his right hand wearing the [Hand of Screaming], and made a fist-shaking motion at the same time as the real Leon in the distance, punched its toes, and then disappeared on the spot.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth... more than a hundred Dream Leons strengthened by the secret technique, stood up from the footprints he had stepped on before, and swung their fists one after another.
