Capítulo 605: Chapter 123 Testing

Meanwhile, Anvis also discovered the mark that Fiona had left on them.

It relied on the power of the world’s rules, subtly attached deep in the sea of the Four Nightmares’ spirits, and Anvis could even feel a familiar aura from it.

He raised his hand, intending to erase the mark from the Four Nightmares, but when he was about to take action, Anvis suddenly hesitated.

He didn’t necessarily have to recognize the girl right now, perhaps before revealing his identity, he could use the mark on the Four Nightmares to test how much stronger the girl had become.

“There is indeed a mark on you, but I will not erase it for the time being—”

Thinking that this plan was good, Anvis stopped his initial action and instead gave orders to the Four Nightmares.

“Spread out for now, act as if you have not noticed the mark, but do not stray too far from each other to prevent real accidents.”

“Do you mean, you need to use our presence to lure her over? Do we need to set up traps in advance? I can take charge of arranging the traps!”

As the only one among the Four Nightmares who liked to use his brain, Despair’s Black Abyss immediately guessed a part of Anvis’s thoughts and even volunteered enthusiastically for the task of trap-setting.

“Dear boss, although I only had a distant look at the Dream World’s Queen before, I can clearly feel that her heart is filled with sadness and anger, and these suppressed negative emotions are the fertile soil for breeding despair.

And that overly powerful strength of hers is not entirely her own but comes more from the Dream World she controls.”

So, as long as we can lure her out of the world and then trap her in an ancient Dream Realm left behind by a predecessor. She will lose her source of strength and gradually be consumed by despair.

By coincidence, I know of a few suitable and bizarre Dream Worlds.”

The Black Abyss of Despair spoke quite spiritedly about his plan, showing great enthusiasm for it.

If he succeeded in assimilating Fiona into one of his Nightmare kin, then his strength would surely surge.

“…No need, just pretend you’re unaware of this, I want to see just how strong the Dream World’s Queen has really become.”

After patiently listening to Black Abyss’s words, Anvis eventually shook his head, rejecting his plan.

It’s not that he was worried about the girl’s safety, but because Fiona’s period of fate eruption had not fully ended yet, sending the Four Nightmares now to set traps and ambush would probably be in vain.

“Alright, boss, we’ll follow your lead.”

Having said that much, Black Abyss didn’t insist any further.

Although he was accustomed to strategizing for the Four Nightmares, it wasn’t actually a hobby of his, but rather, without him stepping forward, his other three companions would not have any plan of action.

Even when he did step up, the other three Nightmare Spirits often failed the plan by not adhering to his arrangements.

Now that someone else had taken over this headache-inducing task, Black Abyss was pleased to see it happen.

After their discussion was concluded, the Four Nightmares greeted each other and then separated, heading off in different directions.

As Anvis had expected, after Fiona cleared all the Nightmare Spirits from the Fiona’s Dreamland world, she did not immediately pursue them.

Instead, she waited for a while until the Inheritance Land fully swallowed and integrated the Dream World, and the task rewards were completely settled, before she began to actively hunt Nightmare Spirits as a formal Trialist of Inheritance Land, along with the other trialists.

Originally, after the tasks in the Trial World ended, the many trialists were unable to gather together.

But after the world of Fiona’s Dreamland merged with the Inheritance Land, Fiona gained some special privileges; she is now able to summon other trialists to join her in the same Dream World.

Using the rule marks she had once left behind, the girl began to clear the Trial Worlds of Nightmare Spirits, dealing with those she had marked one by one.

This type of mark, undetectable even to Four Nightmares other than Deus, simply couldn’t be perceived by other Nightmare Spirits of weaker strength.

In a very short amount of time, the young girl led other powerful trialists throughout the lands, continuously purging most of the Nightmare Spirits that had once invaded her world.

Meanwhile, Fiona was also searching for the whereabouts of the King of Nightmare Spirits.

She remembered clearly that it was the appearance of the King of Nightmare Spirits that caused the city to be destroyed for the first time, forcing her fourth brother, who had taken the form of a white rabbit, to use the power of reversal.

After the white rabbit died, she obtained control over the pocket watch, but when she attempted to use the pocket watch to reverse the white rabbit’s injuries, she only met with failure.

Because the pocket watch had just been used in the short time prior, its strength had temporarily fallen silent.

If not for the King of Nightmare Spirits’ attack that caused the power of the White Rabbit Pocket Watch to temporarily fall silent, then Anvis might have been able to reverse the world’s time at that moment, and perhaps he would not have died…

Thinking that her fourth brother had always silently guarded by her side, Fiona couldn’t help but feel her eyes redden again.

She vowed that she would make all those directly or indirectly responsible for Anvis’s death pay the price!

Finally, after dealing with most of the Nightmare Spirits that hadn’t fled too far, she set her sights on the Four Nightmares.

Although because of Amphis’s orders, the Four Nightmares pretended not to know that they carried a marker, after all, it was only a facade.

So when Fiona came looking for them, they only entangled with the girl momentarily. When the girl was about to use her deadly move, they immediately slipped away, not giving her any chance to keep them there.

This sort of evasive behavior not only infuriated the girl but also started to raise suspicions in her mind.

If it were one or two of the Four Nightmares behaving this way, it wouldn’t be too concerning, but all four acted the same, and even the directions they fled in were somewhat similar, which made the girl suspect whether there was some kind of trap waiting for her in that direction.

For this, she set aside extra caution and came up with a probing method.

.….….

Within a small Dream World, Duchess [Dream Eater] Lina carefully watched the edge of the dream realm in front of her, feeling somewhat sorrowful in her heart.

She could feel that the girl was already somewhat suspicious of her. Or rather, she suspected that someone among these trialists was colluding with the enemy, but because there was no direct evidence, she had not taken action.

This time, the special arrangement for these trialists to track the Four Nightmares separately was likely a probe against them.

And there was some issue on the side of Marquis Winter; they had lost contact temporarily… Was it possible that she had really killed him?!

Just thinking of this possibility made Lina feel a chill over her entire body, even more reluctant to make any rash move at this time.

“I hope it’s nothing serious…”

Resigned to her fate, she stepped into the edge of the Dream Realm before her, mentally supporting herself.

As long as she could confirm that there was no problem with the Dream World ahead, then her task would be completed. Once she returned, she would definitely find an excuse to ask for leave, retreating to her secret hideout for a while.

But the moment she entered this world, the scene before her eyes stunned her as if struck by lightning.

There was no ground in this world, only huge swathes of rocks floating in the dark void. The silhouettes of the Four Nightmares each stood atop a piece of rock, seemingly waiting for something.

At the same time, in the center of this small world, the silhouette of a massive Black Dragon came into her sight. The terrifying Power of Nightmare flowing over it triggered all sorts of uncontrollable desires in her heart.

Seemingly startled by her appearance, the gazes of the five Nightmare Spirits simultaneously shifted, quickly focusing on Lina, who had suddenly appeared.

“Burp…”

Lina’s legs went soft, her throat moved, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
