Chapter 596: Rules Exclusion
Noticing Fiona's reaction, Avis sighed softly.
In fact, Anvis also knew that the girl was able to endure her fear and face the King of Nightmares whose strength far exceeded hers, and her performance was already quite outstanding.
The Nightmare King's power to spread fear comes from its own passive abilities, which cannot be overcome through sheer will.
And Anvis is not afraid of the Nightmare King. That is because he has seen too many powerful and weird beings, and there are many who are stronger than the Nightmare King.
Fear comes from the unknown.
He had faced directly the speaker whose state was between the ninth-level limit and the legendary level, had peeked at the indescribable giant bloody one-eye in the Sky City, and had also faced the sun-like ray of light in his memory.
After seeing those peak beings, and then facing the passive fear field of the Nightmare Spirit King, it was naturally not enough to arouse the fear in Anvis's heart.
Fiona, who has lived in Yuelin Castle and her family's secret realm for a long time, is far less knowledgeable than Avis.
The strongest person she had ever faced was actually Duke Carrot. And even in actual combat classes, the Duke took her level of strength into consideration and never fully demonstrated his coercion.
However, everything has two sides. If the girl can find a way to defeat the Nightmare King, then she will naturally be able to overcome this fear, greatly increase her willpower, and become resistant to similar situations.
This kind of opportunity to face one's own fears is very rare, especially when one's own side is not without hope of victory.
In other parts of the incredible country, the appearance of the Nightmare King caused a chain reaction.
The city of the little animal residents is shrouded in a shield of rules and is not affected much for the time being. However, the outside area without rule protection has begun to rapidly transform into a nightmare world.
Darkness has become the main color in the environment, and various strange dream anomalies emerge in the dark fog.
In the nightmare area, the low-level nightmare spirits began to have a carnival. They danced wantonly in the dark nightmare mist, and their crazy dance postures were chilling.
At the same time, far away from the area where the Nightmare King was, the four Nightmares had arrived at some unknown time, but they were in relatively scattered positions, and they seemed to be secretly guarding against each other.
But for some reason, the positions of the three nightmares of darkness, lust, and despair have a vague feeling of being surrounded by the crazy Decius.
The arrival of the Four Nightmares caused the girl's pressure to increase sharply again. The shield covering the entire incredible country seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure and began to shrink inward.
Seeing this situation, many trialists hiding in the Incredible Country began to panic.
"What should we do? Should we evacuate this world immediately?"
A tester who looked like a hunting dog but was wearing a straight noble dress was the first to speak, intending to test the reactions of others.
Although the city's protective shield is gradually shrinking, there is still a long time before it shrinks to them, which is enough for them to discuss a result.
"If you want to leave, please do so, Mr. [Dream Ferryman], no one will stop you here. The lesson here is: the hunter will shoot down the bird that takes the lead."
Duchess Lina showed an ironic smile, stretched out her hand to make a 'please' gesture, and found a lesson out of habit.
However, the dog noble known as the Dream Ferryman just smiled, fully demonstrating what it means to be human and dog-like.
All the trialists present knew very well that if they left alone, they would only be targeted by the Nightmare King outside, and the result would be death.
But resistance was in vain. Their combined strength could only barely resist the attacks of the Four Nightmares, not to mention the King of Nightmare Spirits who was stronger than the Four Nightmares.
The reason why most trialists stayed here and did not escape was because they needed a bait. A bait that can attract the attention of the Nightmare King and allow them to escape easily.
Linna, who had replaced the 'Duchess', had other plans. Marquis Winter had come to this world in person, but he did not break in because he did not want to attract the attention of the city's rule shield.
Currently, he is lurking outside the city, waiting for the moment when the nightmare spirits break through the city, so that he can take Fiona away during the chaos.
Under the gazes of all parties with different thoughts, finally, the Nightmare King was the first to make a move.
From the complex road of the maze, a thick black fog began to flow into the city, which contained a rich and almost substantial power of fear rules, which caused a fierce conflict with the silver rule shield.
Unlike low-level professionals, there is no so-called probing phase in battles at the ninth level. In other words, each of their attacks can be switched between probing and killing at will.
If the shield can be sustained for a long time and is not eroded by the nightmare fog, then it will be considered as blocking the temptation of the Nightmare Spirit King.
If it is not supported, the entire city will be eroded in an instant, and the power in Fiona's hands will also decline in an instant and fall into defeat.
Anvis looked at the girl who was trying to support herself with some worry. At the same time, he was also wary of other threats from the outside world to avoid accidents.
Now is not the time to let the three nightmares jump back. Even if he controls three of the four nightmares, after actually facing the king of nightmare spirits, Anvis can feel that under normal conditions, even if the three of them come together, Also given for free.
Moreover, the camps of those trialists are not necessarily friendly. It is possible that someone will try to attack Fiona before escaping.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, you are always the supreme ruler of this dream. As long as your belief is strong enough, even the terrifying nightmare will subside!
'Encouragement', 'Mechanized Mind', 'Iron Will', 'Diman's Motivation'..."
After thinking about it, Avis tried to inspire the girl's courage through mouth and magic to see if he could burst out and kill.
The effect cannot be said to be completely absent. At least the colorful halo on his body provided Fiona with some psychological comfort and cool light effect bonus.
Because he has no rule power, simple spells cannot offset the fear rule of the ninth-level nightmare spirit king, and the backtracking of the pocket watch cannot work on Fiona with higher authority.
Haven't those trialists taken action yet?
After sensing the movements and specific discussions of the trialists in the city, Avis shook his head.
If you are timid and don't even dare to take action, how can you hope to obtain the final inheritance?
At the same time, he finally waited for the opportunity and launched his arrangement.
Outside the Incredible Kingdom, a huge magic circle suddenly lit up under the mountains and forests that were transformed into nightmare lands.
It was a conceptual magic circle formed purely by the power of the world rules. Even if the ninth-level Nightmare Spirit King wanted to clean it up, it would take some effort.
At the same time, with the emergence of these magic circles, the originally tepid rejection reaction of the world rules suddenly became violent like an enraged mad bull!
And this kind of rejection of rules not only came from the world with Fiona's Dreamland, but even the inheritance land that swallowed and assimilated this world began to reject many nightmare spirits together!
