Chapter 408 Lyon's Fear

This...this is...

Looking at the long queue of Leons in front of the gray fog giant, with one person taking turns to punch him every two seconds, the Snow Girl couldn't help but said with a look of shock on her face:
"you you……"

"Stop you! Get back to work!"

Seeing the Nightmare King falling down in the sea of ​​sand with a thud in the distance and shivering every two seconds, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged:

"Hurry! Run to the upper level! Each of me can only control it for less than two seconds, you only have a little more than three minutes! Quick!"

"Ah! Okay!"

Hearing Leon's urging, the Snow Girl came to her senses and puffed up her fair cheeks, continuing to blow the cold wind from the nightmare of the snowy mountains desperately, her whole face pouting like a hamster.

Without the Nightmare King's nightmare blocking them, the cold winds used to travel through the nightmares gathered more and more, and finally completely enveloped Leon and the other person.

……

Phew… Fortunately, my brain works fast enough! Even though my “processing speed” was slowed down by the Wine Fairy, I can still figure out what I should do, half relying on instinct and half relying on experience.

Feeling that familiar and wonderful feeling of being separated from the current world, Lyon, who had already sobered up a little and would soon be out of his "drunken state", breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how weak the Nightmare King is, he is still a true god. It is impossible to fight him head-on, and it will be impossible in this life. The only way to maintain this kind of life is to delay time, use dirty tricks, and find a way to escape.

There is no other way. There are too many nightmares trying to invade reality this time. The director will definitely not be able to get here in a short time. It is possible that the killing will last until dawn. Therefore, my goal has always been to find Director Scorpio as soon as possible to ensure my own safety.

But this vast desert is too big, and he does not have the ability to search for people over long distances. Even Director Scorpio cannot find him in this nightmare.

So his purpose was very clear, which was to leave as soon as possible and find a relatively small nightmare up there to stay in, so that he could find Director Scorpio, or let him find him.

But the problem is that as a "nightmare vehicle", the Snow Girl probably cannot take him through the nightmare under the interference of the Nightmare King. So what he should do most is to find a way to control the Nightmare King and buy time for the Snow Girl to take him through the nightmare.

The only possible way to achieve the goal is to inflict severe pain from the [Screaming Hand].

When he thought of this, Leon couldn't help but look through the cold wind around him at the Nightmare King, who was being beaten by him one by one and whose body was covered with gray mist due to the pain. He gave it a smile that only belonged to a winner.

Don’t think that you won’t have nightmares just because you are the Lord of Nightmares!
Also, sorry, strictly speaking, I am also your colleague. The bonus brought by the overlap of the dream world and reality is also effective for me. [Dream Invader] has also been greatly strengthened.

The core ability of the Dream Invader is to let the target's dream erode reality. The Dream Invader, which has been doubly strengthened by the Dream Realm and the Mark of the Archer, has the ability to be effective against the Nightmare King.
Moreover, according to the effectiveness rules of [Dream Invader], the more "contact" the target has with itself, the more likely it is to be affected. The Nightmare King has released hundreds of nightmares on himself, and the effectiveness of [Dream Invader] has long been maximized.
The dream world, the mystical mark, the anomaly itself, and the three buffs are stacked together. How can you resist this intensity?

In addition, during this escape, I was not just passively taking beatings!
Every time it threw a complicated and realistic nightmare at me, trying to wear down my mental will, I would take the opportunity to "fight back" and in turn plant an extremely short and extremely hidden nightmare in its painful and restless soul, which was even so simple that it only had a small nightmare of a punching action.

The Nightmare King who entered the reality already had a body and soul, so the [Dream Invader] before being strengthened by the Archer's secret technique was not ineffective against it, but the effect could not harm it.

And when he activated the Archer Secret Technique and detonated the nightmares of hundreds of "Leons punching people" in one breath, with the help of the Nightmare King's own memories as a breeding ground, these "Leons punching people" successfully invaded reality and truly had the ability to punch it.

Even though the "beating Leons" do not have real [Screaming Hands], since they are the dreams of the Nightmare King, born from his memory of being beaten, naturally every punch they land will bring exactly the same degree of pain.

And these "nightmares" with exactly the same feeling and strength will continue to deepen its memory. It is estimated that it will never forget the taste of this punch in its entire life.

Well... the only pity is that I was drunk and my brain was slow, so I didn’t remember to change the Painful Badge, otherwise the effect would definitely be even better!
……

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You deserve to die!!!
Feeling the horrible pain every two seconds and looking at the disgusting smile on Leon's face, the Nightmare King fell to the ground in pain and felt his soul trembling.

I am the Lord of Nightmares! How dare you use nightmares against me! And such a poor nightmare at that!
Having suffered what was considered the ultimate humiliation for the God of Nightmares, the gray fog giant's dark, skinny body suddenly turned red.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!!!

When the blood color gradually spread throughout his body and dyed the mist all over his body red, the Nightmare King, who had only this one thought left in his mind, surprisingly regained some calm.

In the gap between two sharp pains, the Nightmare King turned his head to look in a certain direction, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

We must not let him go!
This damn cleaner didn't know, but he knew very well that Director Scorpio of the Cleaning Bureau was now in this nightmare.

In order to avoid being found by him by following his scent, he refrained from moving the scales of the dune worm, which allowed Director Scorpio to see the situation here. Now he is forcing a breakthrough back at all costs, trying to return to the City of Plague.

As long as he can escape from the endless desert and successfully reach the upper level of the City of Death and Plague, he will be able to meet up with Director Scorpio immediately and rush out of the six-fold nightmare together. By then, as long as he is held back by Director Scorpio, it will be too late!

He must be kept!
After understanding what he should do, the Nightmare King took a deep breath intermittently, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Since the human body will be hurt and the human soul will be shaken...then I will not be a human being!!!
"Leave me alone!!!"

With an almost hysterical roar, the Nightmare King's huge body fell down with a thud, crushing a large part of Leon who was still queuing to beat people.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Leon and the Snow Girl, the gray mist around the Nightmare King suddenly "swimmed", and then a new Nightmare King, two sizes smaller, condensed right above its fallen body!

No... What the hell is this? Has the boss entered the second stage?
“Are you…are you crazy?!”

Before Leon could finish his complaint, the startled Snow Girl widened her eyes and screamed with a pale face:
"How dare you? In this world, the first rule is to have both soul and body! You are defying this world by doing this! You are simply crazy..."

"I'm wide awake!"

After shaking off the body and soul that had just condensed not long ago and regaining the form of a creature in the dream world, the newly born gray fog giant said expressionlessly:

“Of course I wouldn’t dare to do this normally, but now that the dream world and reality are overlapping, half of the rules must be followed according to the dream world.

What's more, I didn't appear directly in reality, but in this dreamland supported by six nightmare messengers. After adding this layer, although there is still a big impact, it is enough for me to complete what I want to do! " "You...you...what about the others?"

A blush suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks, and the Snow Girl gritted her teeth and said:

"It's not you who opened up the dream! It means they are facing the suppression from the world for you! If this continues, the six of them..."

"These six will reflect their due value."

Although his body size is two sizes smaller, the Nightmare King in the form of a dream creature is obviously more adaptable to the nightmare world before him.

It stretched out its skinny arms and waved towards the sun hanging high above the desert. A heat wave that was ten times more scorching than before spread out, blowing away the cold wind around Leon and the other man, and forcibly pulling them out of the endless desert.

"You seem to be getting nervous."

After intercepting Leon and the other man, the Gray Mist Giant knocked the Snow Girl to the ground, then raised his hand to grab Leon and squeezed him hard, but still failed to kill him. However, he unexpectedly smelled a strange emotion.

After savoring the anxious and urgent feeling revealed in Leon's soul, the Nightmare King finally showed a slight smile on his cold, ferocious and blurred face.

"If I'm not mistaken, your troublesome state seems to be about to end?"

"..."

Indeed... Although I drank a lot on purpose, after such a long period of intense exercise, most of the alcohol has evaporated in the sweat, and the drunken energy has almost dissipated...

Feeling the drunkenness about to completely fade away, no matter how hard Leon tried to suppress it, the sense of urgency in his heart became more and more serious.

There are at most five minutes left. If Director Scorpio still can't find me within five minutes, he will have to go to the realm of the dead to find me.

However, I have a badge called "Survivor", and the hidden feature is that I will be bitten by a dog when I pass through the dead world, and one bite is on each of the three heads... By the way, the dog god is also a dog, right? Will I get rabies if bitten by it? If the dead get rabies, what are the symptoms?
……

Is he... distracted?

Looking at Leon who was obviously absent-minded in his hand, the gray fog giant's face, which had just shown a hint of joy, suddenly turned cold again.

For this cleaner who dared to humiliate himself with a cheap nightmare, a quick and clean death was undoubtedly a blessing. According to his own expectations, his soul should be captured and brought into the dream world, tormented until the entire dream world was completely destroyed.

However, facing this foreseeable tragic future, although he was very nervous, he was not afraid at all? He even had some random thoughts in his mind?

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Seeing Leon, whose face was still drunk and whose mind was a little vague, as if he had thought of something interesting, and whose mouth corners unconsciously curled up, the gray fog giant clenched his skinny arms slightly, and then said with a cold look in his eyes:
"Human, do you want to guess your future fate?"

Knowing that whether he lived or died depended on the support of Director Scorpio, and had basically nothing to do with his own efforts, Leon, who was still drunk, looked up at the Nightmare King, and then lazily asked:
"What? Is there a prize for guessing correctly?"

"..."

After carefully sensing it several times, the Gray Mist Giant discovered that there was indeed no fear in Leon's heart, and he even had a "strange laziness". He couldn't help but frowned uncomfortably.

For people who are full of resentment, the most painful thing is not even the inability to take revenge, but the fact that when they are about to succeed in revenge and make the enemy they hate or even detest meet an extremely tragic fate, the other party acts as if he doesn't care at all and is even in the mood to chat with you.

"Stop pretending!"

Certain that Leon was not the kind of person who would "face death with indifference", the Nightmare King looked down at him and asked sternly:

"Is it the effect of an abnormal object? Do you have an abnormal object that can block fear?"

"..."

Yes, there is... but it is not an abnormal object, but a badge.

[Drunken Immortal] This series of badges, from the original bronze to the current different colors, have always had the effect of resisting fear.

Gold used to resist fear, and although the resistance to fear is no longer in the entry of [Drunken Immortal], the fear imposed by the enemy can also be regarded as a kind of "attack". I haven't exited the state of "living in drunkenness and dreaming death" yet, and the fear in my heart was directly offset by [Drunken Immortal], so I am not afraid at all.

"Well, let's just say it is there."

After thinking about the current situation, Leon couldn't think of any other solution, so he simply admitted that he did have the means to resist fear.

After all, I have tried my best, and there is nothing I can do if I really cannot defeat them. I have also arranged for my younger brothers and sisters to leave in advance and entrusted them to people I trust, so at least I don't have to worry about them suffering in the future.

In addition, although it may sound unpleasant, to be honest, I have been in this world for more than three years. Maybe now is the time when I am most relaxed and have nothing to worry about.

Well...even if I think positively, what's wrong with being taken into the dream world and enslaved and tortured? As long as the badge system is still there, I might be able to come up with a weird badge like "Born a Rebel" or "Appointed as a Godfather" someday.

Even if I can't become the director of the Cleanup Bureau, being a dream world master is good too. It doesn't matter where I am, right?
"..."

Is he... really not afraid at all?
To mistakenly believe that someone is truly indifferent because he is still drunk and has no urgent combat pressure, causing his thoughts to wander everywhere.

The Nightmare King, who felt uncomfortable all over, was silent for a while, and then he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his hand to hold the crown on his head and pointed the mirror part at Leon's eyes.

"Very good! Today I want to see what people like you are most afraid of!"
