Chapter 2166 Orc Curse Chapter 28
The twin smoky snakes bit the nameless paladin, and a strange power flowed into his body.

The nameless paladin struggled, but he could not grasp the formless smoke, nor could he resist the tranquility and peace.

He knelt on the ground, his hands hanging down. If it weren't for the faint golden light still emanating from his eyes and the cracks in his body, one would have mistaken him for a charred corpse.

Before the powerful flying brick could ask what to do next, the two smoke snakes intertwined to form a ring. The smoke that made up their bodies seemed to be attracted by something and flowed into the center of the ring, forming a smoke vortex.

"I think we should go inside."

Dali Feizhuan glanced at the Double Snake Incense in his hand. The incense was burning, and although it didn't seem to change, time always passed little by little in ways that were imperceptible to humans.

"Walk."

Kate Cat led the way into the vortex of smoke, followed by the others. Mighty Flying Brick, who was at the very back, hid the Twin Snake Incense in the skeleton to prevent anyone from appearing and discovering the Twin Snake Incense, the core that forms the dream, after they entered the dream world.

After hiding it, Dali Feizhuan stepped into the dream world. Logically speaking, it would be better to leave a few people to guard it, but the dream world is rare. Even they had only heard of the Nightmare Stone. It would be unfair to let anyone miss it.

Although it's a bit abstract in many aspects, their technical prowess is truly undeniable; it's as if they've genuinely created a wondrous world.

"The threshold of this world is just too high."

After letting out a soft sigh, Dali Feizhuan composed himself and took a step toward the entrance to the dream world.

What kind of feeling is this? It's like taking a step into thin air, falling down on you, and then, as if you're suddenly awakened from a dream by this feeling of falling, you feel your feet are on solid ground again.

The dream world is like the opposite of the real world. He crossed the boundary, and the gravity of the real world made him fall into the dream world. Then, because of the gravity of the dream world, he stood firm on the boundary again.

"What a wonderful experience! It would be such a waste to only experience it once." Mighty Flying Brick clenched his fist excitedly. Judging from the reaction of the Twin Snake Incense, it shouldn't need to weaken the target's health, which means...

Snapped--

Kate the cat, who was waiting for the powerful brick to fly, patted the back of the brick's head. Although she didn't use much force, the brick still stumbled forward.

"what happened?"

“Your expression.” Kate Cat held up a finger and circled it around the face of the man who threw the brick.

"He looks like someone from a Greek story who received a treasure from the gods as a gift to complete a trial, but after using it once and experiencing its divine power, he became addicted and planned to abuse it."

"This is incredibly detailed!"

Dali Feizhuan's lips twitched. In those Greek stories, even the gods, the only outcomes were tragedy and something even more tragic.

However, he had to admit that using characters from Greek stories as negative examples was very convincing, clearly explaining in just a few simple sentences the consequences of breaking promises, defaulting on debts, excessive greed, and excessive arrogance.

Oh, and there's also an excessive lust.

The authenticity and inevitability of those stories are almost like Murphy's Law, a Greek law.

Kate the cat gave him a reminder, not because she was really afraid of the punishment of the Greek gods, but because of the Greek laws themselves.

If he intends to use it multiple times, he will definitely want to retain as much of the Twin Snake Incense as possible, which will inevitably make him impatient in the dream world and cause him to miss some clues.

"Alright, just consider it a one-time mission item."

After calming down, Dali Feizhuan began to observe the dream world. Before he could even take a good look, he realized everyone else was gone. "Were we randomly teleported?!"

"No, it's because they didn't want to wait for you and left first."

"Those bastards!"

After grumbling for ten seconds, Dali Feizhuan decisively chose to explore the rest of the dream world over continuing to waste time grumbling.

Kate the Cat introduced this dream world to Mighty Flying Brick, which was more like a process of purifying the nameless paladin, an undead being.

Besides fighting, you can also eliminate undead monsters by fulfilling their last wishes or by eliminating their obsessions, causing them to disappear on their own.

Combat and purification are shortcuts; the former destroys the remains, severing the spirits' connection to the world, while the latter forcibly delivers them from suffering.

Taking shortcuts certainly has its advantages, prioritizing efficiency, while honestly fulfilling the regrets and obsessions of the deceased, allowing them to disappear without regrets, also has its benefits.

Sometimes it's the regret of possessing power that could be used as equipment or materials, and sometimes it's the skills or special information bestowed by the undead.

To repay Kate Cat, the biggest and longest-standing investor, the creators specially told Kate Cat this guide. From a societal perspective, using game content as a form of repayment is somewhat naive, but Kate Cat accepted the gratitude earnestly and used this guide to start the entire [Fairy Kingdom] fan club.

The Nameless Paladin cannot be defeated by force; only his obsessions and regrets can be eliminated. However, they do not understand this Nameless Paladin at all, and cannot even communicate with him. Therefore, this dream world is their only chance to understand the Nameless Paladin and allow him to resolve his regrets and find peace.

Dali Feizhuan twisted his neck, waved to Kate the Cat, and then the two walked in different directions in tacit agreement.

We should save time in this area.

"The Twin Serpent Incense, the Secret of the Orcish Region, the Nameless Paladin... Now that I think about it, it's a series of quests, but there hasn't been a single quest prompt yet."

"That's right, it's too abrupt to have a mission prompt in the [real world]."

Dali Feizhu stepped into the mist. The mist before him dissipated, and peaceful sunlight shone down from the sky, revealing a bloody battlefield beneath the serene surface.

Knights clad in silver armor and with pristine white wings wielded lances and swords, slaughtering orcs with incredible efficiency.

Blood and corpses mingled on the ground, forming a huge cross.

This is a scene of the Crusade fighting the Orcs. The battle is extremely fierce, but surprisingly, the Flying Brick doesn't cause any discomfort.

The silver-armored knights were like angels of death, piercing hearts with spears and severing heads with swords, cleanly and swiftly reaping the lives of the orcs.

Their actions were incredibly decisive.

Just as Dali Feizhuan was wondering where to look, the fallen silver-armored knight and orc slowly stood up. Amidst the billowing black mist, the silver-armored knight and orc merged together, transforming into a bizarre beast knight.

The Beast Knight roared angrily at the Mighty Flying Brick.

Nightmare Knight LV100

The nightmare that the obsession within the remains manifested as was his feared future, his unyielding present, and the reason for his namelessness.
