Chapter 471: Chapter 408: Leon’s Fear

This... this is...

Watching the line forming in front of the Gray Mist Giant, with Leon and others taking turns to punch it every two seconds, the Snow Girl couldn’t help but express her shock:

"You... you..."

"Stop ’you-ing’ and get to work!"

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

"Hurry! Run to the upper level! I can only control it for less than two seconds each! You have just a bit over three minutes! Quick!"

"Ah! Okay!"

Hearing Leon’s urging, the Snow Girl came to her senses, puffed up her pale cheeks, and continued to blow fiercely the cold wind from the snowy mountain nightmare, her whole face pouting like a hamster.

With the King of Nightmares no longer blocking the nightmares, these winds used to traverse nightmares accumulated more and more, finally enveloping Leon and the Snow Girl completely.

...

Whew... luckily my mind works fast! Even though the "processing speed" was lowered by the Immortal of Liquor, relying half on instinct and half on experience, I could still barely figure out what I was supposed to do.

Feeling that familiar, wondrous sensation of being peeled away from the current world, somewhat sobered from the "Drunken Life, Dreamy Death" state, Leon breathed out a long sigh.

The King of Nightmares, no matter how incompetent, is still a True God. It’s impossible to fight it head-on, never in this life; only by stalling for time, playing dirty tricks, and finding ways to escape can one maintain their life like this.

No choice, this time there are simply too many nightmares trying to invade reality; the chief simply won’t be able to make it here for a while, and killing it might take until dawn, so my goal has always been to find the Scorpio Bureau chief as soon as possible to ensure my safety.

But this Boundless Desert is just too large, and I don’t have the capability to search for people over ultra-long distances. Even if the Scorpio Chief is in this layer of nightmare, I won’t be able to find him.

Therefore, my purpose is very clear. I must leave as soon as possible, head up to a slightly smaller nightmare, find the Scorpio Chief, or let him find me.

But the problem is, as the "nightmare transport," the Snow Girl most likely cannot pass through nightmares with me under the King of Nightmares’ interference. So what I should do is find a way to control the King of Nightmares to buy time for the Snow Girl to lead me through the nightmare.

And the only way that might achieve this goal is the intense pain brought by the [Hand of Screams].

Thinking of this, Leon couldn’t help but look through the cold wind surrounding him at the King of Nightmares, who was being punched one after another by him, with gray mist chaotically swirling around its body in pain, and gave it a smile belonging solely to the victor.

Don’t think that just because you’re the Lord of Nightmares, you can’t have nightmares!

Also, sorry, strictly speaking, I’m your colleague too. The augment brought by the overlap of the dream realm and reality is equally effective for me, and the [Dream Intruder] has also been significantly strengthened.

And the core ability of the [Dream Intruder] is to let the target’s dream erode reality. With the dual empowerment of the dream realm and the Sagittarius mark, the [Dream Intruder] is already effective against the King of Nightmares,

Moreover, according to the effect rules of the [Dream Intruder], the more "contact" the target and I have, the more easily they are influenced. The King of Nightmares sent hundreds of nightmares at me; the effect of the [Dream Intruder] has long been stacked to the max,

The dream realm, secret technique mark, and the anomaly itself stack, three buffs stacked together, how could you block this strength?

Additionally, during this escape, I wasn’t just taking hits passively!

Every time it cast a complex, realistic nightmare trying to wear down my spiritual will, I would seize the opportunity to "return a blow," planting a bizarrely brief yet extremely concealed mini-nightmare, it’s so simple that it contains only a fist-punching action, into its soul writhing in pain.

The King of Nightmares already has a body and soul by entering reality, so even the [Dream Intruder] before being enhanced by the Sagittarius secret technique wasn’t entirely ineffective against it, only unable to harm it.

And when I activated the Sagittarius secret technique, triggering over a hundred "Leon punching people" nightmares all at once, leveraging the King of Nightmares’ own memory as a breeding ground, these "Leon punching people" successfully invaded reality, really capable of landing a punch.

Even if the "Leon punching people" don’t have the actual [Hand of Screams], since they are the King of Nightmares’ dreams, born from its memory of being beaten, naturally, each punch falls with equally intense pain.

And these identical sensations, with the exact same intensity of "nightmares," will continue to deepen its memory. It’s likely that the taste of my punch is something it might never forget in its lifetime.

Hmm... the only pity is, drunken thoughts are slow; I didn’t think to put the Ballache Badge on, otherwise, the effect would surely be even more outstanding!

...

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn you!!!

Feeling that horrific pain every two seconds, watching that infuriating smile on Leon’s face, the King of Nightmares, in agony, collapsed onto the ground, feeling like its very soul was trembling.

I am the Lord of Nightmares! How dare you use nightmares against me! And such crude nightmares!

Encountering what could be termed the ultimate humiliation—by the standards of a god of nightmares—the thin, emaciated body of the Gray Mist Giant was instantly covered in a deep flush of blood-red.
