Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 820 The Ruler of Nightmares

Who followed me in?
This question doesn't even require thinking about.

Because the next second, the people received the answer.

boom!
An explosion suddenly occurred in the stairwell where Wu Xian and the others entered, and a very imposing figure walked in from the smoke and dust.

This man was three meters tall, naked, his skin cut into the shape of window lattices, exposing his bloody muscles and fat. He had no hair or facial features, only a sunken eye socket in the upper part of his skull.

It was a shrunken fog giant!

Wu Xian's expression changed drastically; he had personally destroyed this guy's head!

Even if such a thing cannot be completely killed in reality, it would still take some time to heal after suffering such injuries, right?

The sleeping woman fell from mid-air, squeezing out two words through gritted teeth:
"Occurrence Lord!"

As soon as the creature known as the Lord of Nightmare appeared, the followers reacted in their own ways. Wan Jue immediately dodged and shot out, his huge axe flashing with blood.

Now that the Sleeping Woman has released that eye, it can be destroyed!

Bang!
Wan Jue suddenly lost consciousness, but the momentum of his movements was still there. He fell to the ground and slid forward a distance, scraping his skin in several places.

Upon seeing this, Hawke immediately realized that the Lord of Nightmare had activated the same power as in the real world.

So he raised the Mosingana rifle, ready to interrupt his power as he would in the real world, but the Lord of Nightmare merely glanced at him, and he collapsed to the ground like Wan Jue, his face contorted in pain, and he was convulsing uncontrollably.

Du E took out a wooden puppet.

Lingji grasped the pendant.

Han Shuihe raised the Thousand Souls Banner.

But before they could use their abilities, the three of them met the same fate as Wan Jue and Hawke.

All of this was merely observed by the Lord of Nightmare!

Wu Xian felt a chill run down his spine.

If he were still human, he would have been trembling and sweating profusely from the fear of his teammates falling one after another.

Since the appearance of the Nightmare, he had been on high alert, but even so, he still couldn't figure out how his teammates had fallen.

Wu Xian gritted his teeth and asked the Nightmare Lord, "What kind of hellish ability is this?"

The Lord of Evil did not answer, but simply tilted his head to look at Wu Xian, seemingly not understanding why Wu Xian had not fallen.

"That was a nightmare."

The woman behind Wu Xian spoke up to answer his questions. Her voice was gentle and ethereal, giving him a dreamlike feeling, which eased Wu Xian's tension considerably.

"The Nightmare Lord's ability is an imitation of the evil god, called 'Nightmare Modulation.' He can inflict nightmares on any target he sees and turn those nightmares into reality."

"The nightmares he inflicts can be endless corridors, unreachable ends, bottomless abysses, and all sorts of monsters that touch the deepest fears in people's hearts..."

"In the real world, this move has a cooldown and requires charging, but in the deep dream realm, he can use it without limit... In other words, in the deep dream realm, the Nightmare Lord is almost invincible; he is the true ruler of nightmares!"

Wu Xian swallowed.

This kind of unreasonable and foul-breaking ability has exceeded the scope of what a family member can do.

Given such an enemy, it's reasonable that Wu Xian was killed in reality; this thing was simply beyond the capabilities of any human being.

"Then why am I still standing here?"

The Sleeping Woman paused for a moment: "The Lord of Nightmare must have thrown your friends into the nightmare, but you are not human, you are a ghost, which may be why it was impossible to put you into the nightmare." The Lord of Nightmare tried several times but could not throw Wu Xian into the nightmare, so he simply gave up and walked towards the eyes behind the Sleeping Woman.

The Sleeping Maiden landed barefoot on the ground, surrounded by icy mist shimmering with blue light. Countless skirts danced like long dragons, and the mesmerizing divine light even overshadowed the Lord of Nightmare.

A glimmer of hope reappeared in Wu Xian's eyes.

The Lord of Nightmare is a monster with abstract and terrifying abilities that is not something that the people of the Clan can defeat. Perhaps the solution to this blessed land lies in this imperial decree.

Perhaps the Floating Light and Mist Fairy, who has been elevated to a true god, will be able to kill the Lord of Evil on her own?
Wu Xian watched the battle with great anticipation. On one side was an ugly and vicious demon, and on the other side was an ethereal fairy. When the two collided, all kinds of lights flashed wildly, the earth shook, and the ceiling shattered.

As the Lord of Nightmare grew larger during the battle, he transformed into a giant in the blink of an eye, and the Sleeping Maiden, in accordance with the Lord of Nightmare, also transformed into a giant female fairy.

The four-story mystery building, which had just been deciphered, was directly breached. The falling floorboards and rocks were blocked by the skirt of the sleeping woman, thus preventing them from affecting Wu Xian and the unconscious servants.

Wu Xian looked up but couldn't see the whole battle; he could only see two thighs stretching out from the blue-white mist beneath the sleeping woman's skirt.

This perspective of watching the battle from beneath the giant's feet made Wu Xian feel as if he had returned to his childhood, watching "The Giant of Light" with a group of children. The children were all engrossed, but he was the only one shouting that Ultraman could not exist in reality.

But Wu Xian soon discovered that a large amount of blood was sliding down the sleeping woman's legs, and blood was also dripping from her skirt, which meant that the sleeping woman was being unilaterally suppressed.

"We can't watch any longer. We have to take this opportunity to destroy that eye!"

Wu Xian flashed in front of those eyes.

In the deepest part of the dream, this most crucial eye appears to be just an enlarged version of an ordinary eyeball, without any supernatural manifestations.

Wu Xian curled his fingers, and blue light flashed on the back of his hand. Just as he was about to deliver a fatal blow to the eye, a small insect landed on the back of his hand.

This little insect is only the size of a broad bean, and it looks very strange.

It has a centipede-like body and long legs, spider-like mouthparts, an abdomen as large as a cockroach carrying eggs, and fly-like wings.

Like an insect that only appears in nightmares...

Nightmare...

"not good!"

The little bug bit Wu Xian's hand, and its abdomen swelled up at a visible speed. When it swelled to the size of a cherry tomato, it burst open with a "pop".

From the bursting belly, more than a dozen identical insects shot out. These insects landed on Wu Xian's body, gnawing at his flesh and blood again before bursting open, their numbers increasing exponentially!
The insects reproduced so quickly that Wu Xian had no time to react; in just a few breaths, his body was covered with them.

The Lord of Nightmare simply couldn't drag Wu Xian into the nightmare, but he could use other people's nightmares to create reality and impose it on Wu Xian!
Every inch of Wu Xian's skin was covered with countless insects.

He kept releasing will-o'-the-wisps, unleashing palm lightning at himself, and rolling on the ground, but no matter what methods he used, he could only eliminate a small portion of the insects, while the remaining insects would multiply rapidly.

For the Lord of Nightmare, there are no insurmountable enemies in the deepest dreams.

The only slightly troublesome one is the strongest original evil spirit, the Sleeping Woman, born during the Nightmare Calamity.

Wu Xian's body was being relentlessly gnawed at. If he weren't a vengeful ghost, he would have been reduced to a skeleton by these insects long ago.

He eventually collapsed to the ground, unable to continue.

The sleeping woman's body also shrank rapidly, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Before the remaining eye was completely taken over by the insects, Wu Xian saw the Lord of Nightmare bend down and pick up the undamaged eye with his enormous fingers.

Then, Wu Xian could see nothing at all.

An insect crawled onto his only remaining eye and plunged its mouthparts deep inside.
