Chapter 343: The Abyssal Nightmare Demon's Blessing

"Yes, a Nightmare Demon created with just a little flesh, blood, and soul-substance is naturally weak."

"Impossible," I denied.

They were this guy's clones... then how could I have possibly interrogated those pieces of intelligence from them?

How could they be afraid of death?

Although they did indeed show a certain degree of indifference to death and disregard for their companions... Or was this deliberately revealed by the other party, in order to make Ninglan Qiuyu accept the so-called blessing of the abyss?

Then wouldn't that mean even I was a part of the calculation?

No... impossible, the variables were too large.

She couldn't have calculated what I was going to do.

Was it just a coincidence, or the progression of the script?

"Are you still trying to say that all the Nightmare Demons we've encountered are your clones?"

I frowned and asked, but the purpose of asking this seemed a little obvious.

"Of course. To be precise, they're not exactly clones. They are just semi-finished Nightmare Demons refined from the sacrifice of inferior flesh, blood, and soul-substance, with only the commands I implanted in their minds."

"So that's how it is..."

So her understanding of clones was different from mine.

No wonder the Resurrection Spell could so mindlessly "resurrect" this kind of thing.

Or rather, this act couldn't even be called resurrection.

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyu had completely changed his appearance.

His huge and ugly body stood up straight, already more than three meters tall.

A dark and mixed power filled his body, and his eyes had lost the luster he had when he was still human.

"It's time to act, Ninglan Qiuyu. Give me the anchor. I'll go and place it in the center of the ritual. The grand sacrificial ritual should be activated. It's time to call all my sisters to come and play together!"

"...Yes..."

A trace of struggle flashed in Ninglan Qiuyu's eyes, but in the end, he responded "obediently."

"Want to summon? In your dreams!"

With a wave of my hand, I completely destroyed the sacrificial ritual beside me.

But just as I destroyed this ritual, several blood-red pillars of light shot up from the dark underground city.

The blood-red light illuminated the dome, replacing the light of the Earth Vein and illuminating the entire underground city.

"What? When did you..."

I looked at the ritual pillars in the distance in shock.

Ninglan Qiuyu had never been to those places!

"Did you think the first batch of Nightmare Demons that came down were here to play with you? Although you did indeed kill quite a few and reduced their efficiency a lot, we have plenty of time. And this one in front of you is just a bait to lure you."

At this moment, I gritted my teeth.

This was the unwillingness of being calculated.

I had previously thought whether Ninglan Qiuyu could be a guy who could play a game with the Nightmare Demon.

I didn't expect him to be a puppet who was unknowingly eaten to death.

But I couldn't be bothered to talk about others, because... wasn't I also calculated?

"Goodbye, little witch. Although your move of summoning your main body over really surprised me, I don't have time to waste with you. So... let Ninglan Qiuyu play with you. He has just obtained such power, and now he has nowhere to vent it."

After this Nightmare Demon finished speaking, she gave me a look as if she had high hopes for me, threw me a wink, and then left this place.

With the departure of that Nightmare Demon, Ninglan Qiuyu erupted at this moment.

His originally decent clothes were completely torn.

Such a huge contrast was indeed sigh-inducing.

But this didn't mean that the movements of my hands would stop.

Faced with such a monster, the so-called blessing of the abyss, this kind of transformation of a person reminded me of what I saw the Imp Academy do to their students.

"Yang... Yue... Han..."

At this time, Ninglan Qiuyu could only let out a hoarse and low roar from his throat, his whole body exuding the stench and decay of the abyss.

"It's all your fault... it's all because of you...!"

He roared, venting the anger and unwillingness in his heart at this moment, as if his failure and futility were all caused by me.

He waved his ferocious limbs and came at me.

With a wave of my hand, several spells also appeared behind me and went towards his body.

He didn't have the powerful defensive means of that Nightmare Demon, but the body that was torn apart by the spells exploding on him healed again under the power of the abyss, as if his body was no longer a normal human body at this moment, but a collection of flesh, blood, and bones aggregated under the power of the abyss.

Spells flew and blood spattered on him.

Every blow took away his flesh and blood, consuming the power of the abyss in his body.

"Bastard, you damn guy... why do you outsiders have such powerful strength while we have nothing!"

"I'm going to eat you! Chew your flesh and blood, seize your power and make it mine..."

At this time, even under the firepower suppression of the floating spells, Ninglan Qiuyu was constantly rushing towards me.

The blessing of the abyss had given him a powerful physique.

He climbed on the buildings in this block.

Every time he jumped, he would leave behind cracked rubble in his original place.

He was using his powerful physique to counter the reaction gap of my spells.

And it hadn't been long, yet he was getting more and more agile, as if he was completely adapting to his power.

"This terrifying adaptability..."

Even I had to sigh at the other party's terror.

Even if I wanted to get away now to trouble that Nightmare Demon, it would be a bit difficult.

The other party would constantly pester me.

At that time, when I fought that Nightmare Demon, having this guy harass me would greatly distract my attention.

And... it hadn't been long since night fell.

Such a huge commotion, the surrounding people also got up one after another.

Some even came out in their pajamas to check the situation.

Some opened their windows, looked at the entire underground city that had been illuminated by the blood-red light, and made a sound of bewilderment.

And the people in this vicinity immediately shouted "monster" when they saw Ninglan Qiuyu's fleeting figure.

It's a pity that I had no mind to care about what happened to those people.

I would be thankful if they didn't cause me trouble.

If they wanted to court death themselves, I wouldn't go and save them.

"Ninglan Qiuyu, since you still have consciousness, you should understand that our enemies from the beginning to the end have been those Nightmare Demons. Don't you see this!"

"I don't care... you! Outsiders, Nightmare Demons... all of you are enemies who have invaded us!"

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

"You... you are just slaves who have surrendered to the foreign enemy, while we are the last orthodox of the main world!"

"You..."

Hearing his words, I also remembered the intelligence I had asked from the Nightmare Demon I had killed at the very beginning.

At that time, Ninglan Qiuyu had also learned of that truth.

We actually came from the same main world, it was just that we were broken by a foreign enemy... At that time, had the Nightmare Demon already started to sow discord between him and us outsiders... Although I couldn't refute this kind of thing.

"Aren't you also the one who has accepted the blessing of the abyss?"

"Isn't all of this because of you! I must live! And it can only be me!"

"Then let's go and solve that Nightmare Demon together, and then we'll solve the grudge between us."

"It's all the same... if I can't be this City Lord... the entire Ninglan New City will be destroyed with me!"

"Since you've even said such words, then you're completely hopeless."

Hearing the other party's standard villain speech, I also knew that verbal persuasion was useless.

The belief that supported him to continue normally had collapsed at this moment.

I had no interest in spending energy to build a new belief for him.

I can only say that for the Ninglan New City to be passed down to this generation and encounter such a madman, it was destined to be destroyed.

Immediately, I was no longer prepared to entangle with him, and was preparing to find a way to kill him with one blow.

The other party's such strong combat power was only relying on the blessing of the abyss.

Although it was said to be a blessing, it was actually just injecting that unknown energy into the other party's body.

If you really want to say what method can kill him, then naturally, it can only be to consume that power.

This consumption was either he himself vented it out, or I used saturated attacks to consume it.

Otherwise, there was no other way.

Looking at the other party fighting with me endlessly, in this state, without using a super-consumption spellbook, I really didn't have any good means.

In this state, I subconsciously used the Flexible Learning and Application Spell to see if I could derive something with my current means, even if it was just an extension of a means that could target the current situation.

When I was once again approached by the other party, and had to use teleportation to pull away, I had a flash of inspiration at this time.

Perhaps I could use this... The primal rune ritual generated from the research of the Nightmare.

I hadn't even given this means an official name.

In the beginning, I used this elemental rune ritual as a guide to create the Nightmare killer, allowing people in reality to hold a weapon to restrain the Nightmares in the dream.

Then I used that Nightmare Demon to test the reverse use test, which could interfere with reality from the dream, pulling the consciousness of people in reality into the dream, which could achieve the same means as the Nightmare.

If I could pull Ninglan Qiuyu's consciousness into the dream, relying on the Dream Rewrite Spell, I could control anyone.

And Ninglan Qiuyu, I could completely destroy this body of Ninglan Qiuyu in reality.

After all, at that time, he would just be a living target that couldn't move.

Did I seem to have inadvertently figured out a seemingly heaven-defying means?

But unfortunately, when I returned to the academy, these means seemed to be unusable.

Faced with Ninglan Qiuyu who was rushing towards me again, at this moment, I put away the floating spells and no longer wasted magic power.

Then, runes appeared around me.

It was the primal rune ritual.

And now, I officially gave this spell a name, the Nightmare Spell.

After all, it was born from the Nightmare, and its ability was also similar to the Nightmare.

Faced with such a big guy at this moment, even though I had confidence in the Nightmare Spell, I still subconsciously propped up a protective spell.

Sure enough, when I was in a battle, I still couldn't face it calmly... As I was lamenting this, Ninglan Qiuyu had already attacked me with his angry fist.

In the next moment, the Nightmare Spell was activated.

And Ninglan Qiuyu only felt a darkness before his eyes, as if his consciousness had left his body and was wandering in another dimension.

I looked at Ninglan Qiuyu, who was still in his original form in the dream at this moment, and also lamented a little.

Even if his body had become like this, his consciousness was still the same as before.

At least it showed that he had not yet accepted his appearance.

Just like my previous appearance was not the same as when I was still a boy.

Then, I dodged sideways.

That huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

The powerful impact even smashed a piece of the wall behind me.

Then that building directly collapsed, burying him alive.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to lament Ninglan Qiuyu or the owner of this house.

What bad luck.

But I hadn't forgotten what I had to do.

Then, the floating spells rose up, and a series of attacks madly consumed the power of the abyss with the greatest efficiency.

"No... no! Stop! Yang Yuehan! What on earth did you do!"

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyu in the dream collapsed and shouted at me, rushing towards me.

But I just waved my hand, and several stone spikes rose from the ground, trapping him from a tricky angle.

In the dream, he had no possibility of resisting and was firmly suppressed by me.

"No! I beg you! I know I was wrong! Stop! Stop it..."

"You look really pathetic when you beg for mercy," I walked up to him and said with an indifferent expression and tone.

Just as I was about to stop wasting my breath on him, after getting closer, I realized that this Ninglan Qiuyu actually had a thread of Destiny on him!

This discovery made my pupils shrink in an instant.

How was this possible?

I subconsciously went to check the other party, but I didn't find the so-called Seed of Destiny, neither in his consciousness nor his body.

At this, I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

So he was not a Child of Destiny.

But he had a thread of Destiny on him.

When I used my Spirit Vision to seriously and without any cover to look at that thread of Destiny, the information fed back by the power of that Destiny made my pupils shrink!

The total amount of the source of this Destiny was even... much more than the Destiny I had obtained from getting first place in the Dream State Exchange Competition!

So... the struggle for Destiny this time was actually not just about the killing of the Nightmares.

Ninglan New City itself was also very important.

And it was precisely because Ninglan New City had this batch of Destiny from the main world that it didn't seem strange that this script node was chosen here.

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyu's voice had already been ignored by me.

His original body had already shrunk from its originally huge size to almost a normal person's level under the saturated attrition of the floating spells.

I was originally thinking of just killing Ninglan Qiuyu like this.

After all, I wouldn't be soft-hearted.

But now if I killed him, I would inevitably be tainted with Destiny.

But thinking about it this way, my previous killing of those Nightmare Demons also seemed a bit risky.

After all, if they had killed a Nightmare, the Destiny would have been continuously transferred.

But it was obvious that I was not tainted with Destiny at this moment.

Maybe it was also because the Nightmare Demons I had encountered before were all clones.

"I can't delay any longer. I don't know if the others in the underground city have taken action. Really, why does it feel like I'm the one putting in all the effort every time? Am I playing a multiplayer game?"

At this moment, I also started to complain.

The script had developed to this point.

I felt that if it weren't for me, this ghost script would have been finished sooner or later.

I suddenly understood a little why the teachers at the academy were so protective of the script.

Maybe it was because it was too fragile?

Just when I felt that it was about enough and was about to throw Ninglan Qiuyu here and go to the rescue in the distance, the last bit of abyssal power in Ninglan Qiuyu's body was holding on to his last bit of life.

But in the next moment, a strange change suddenly occurred.

A strong power of Destiny suddenly erupted from Ninglan Qiuyu's body, which was like a candle in the wind, turning into countless chains that shot out from Ninglan Qiuyu's chest.

And its target was my direction.

"The protection of Destiny of Ninglan New City... if you entangle with me, do you believe that I will turn around and destroy Ninglan New City?"

I didn't care if the other party had some kind of consciousness, but I still said it.

But those chains did not slow down and still attacked me.

And at this moment, my heart also hardened.

I would never let my expectations exceed my predictions.

I still have many things to do.

Annihilate the Nightmare Demons, sever the Earth Vein chains, break away from the script, enlighten the Fool's Dream... whatever stands in my way, I will destroy it.

"I will do what I say."

When I firmly uttered these four words, the power of Destiny suddenly stopped in front of me.

Seeing this scene, I also knew that I had made the right bet.

Even if Destiny had no consciousness, the "instinct" to protect Ninglan New City let it know what it could and couldn't do.

Because in that instant, I really had the intention of completely destroying Ninglan New City, just as I had said, I would do what I said.
