Chapter 117 Nightmare: Phantom Fever, Clear the Level!
——It should be a precognition dream.
In other words, the part that regards the future as a precognition dream.
Annan quickly made a decision.
He didn't want to run away—and he believed, Frederick didn't want to either.
Anyway, in the last part of the two timelines, "Frederick" was already on the verge of death.
If you don't know how to choose, just think about how you would describe it if you were the master of your body... and then act according to his will.
Whether Annan avoided here or not, I am afraid most of them will die.
If this is Frederick's memory before his death, then even if he avoided the axe that flew towards him and chose to escape when he faced Ingrid, how would he face the "chosen"? Betrayal" Justus?
That's probably Justus from another timeline.
And if Frederick had the dream of no one on the street before, it was just because of the precognitive dream reflected in his mind after reading the book...
Then if he has suffered a damage at this moment, he chooses to roll out and avoid the falling wall. Perhaps Frederick, who advanced to the silver rank at a young age, will not die because of this... at least he will have a life left.
He is an idol wizard, a rare milk in the wizarding profession. He should have the ability to restore blood to himself.
But in this case, Ingrid's ending is no different from history - it must be the wrong path.
...and Annan doesn't know any magic of the idol school.
He wasn't the real Frederick after all, that genius icon wizard.
"Did you dream...or woke up from a dream?"
If possible, Annan actually wanted to try the possibility of "both sides are real" or "both sides are dreams".
But time is running out.
The wind from the axe was sharp enough to slit his cheeks; so was the pain of the falling rocks behind him hitting his back.
Which side do you want to believe?
Annan didn't know how to choose the third way among the two options of "dodge" and "do not dodge"...
The pure idol school wizards of the silver rank obviously do not have the spells that can resolve the disaster in front of them - if it is the shaping or edict school, maybe they can still struggle.
But aside, Annan doesn't know that kind of magic...and Frederick is a pure Idol school wizard. In order to maintain the purity of their family, it is impossible for them to learn the spells of other schools. Not even a single person was seen in their infancy; no one could talk to them, and no practical knowledge could be learned.
The fear is to destroy that "divine nature".
...Could it be that I got into the mousetrap?
Shouldn't you enter this alley? Is this a fake road?
As long as you come in, there are only two paths left to choose?
Various speculations popped up in Annan's mind.
But he didn't move away in the end.
——Since there is no choice, then choose a path that will not shame Frederick.
After the world became dim and the flow of time became extremely low... about fifteen seconds passed.
A boulder fell from the sky, hitting his back heavily in the silent world.
Then, Annan's eyes finally darkened.
"... uh uh."
Annan woke up suddenly and opened his eyes.
He found himself lying on the couch with summary data flashing before his eyes.
[Nightmare has been purified]
[Purify the nightmare as a designated identity, the evaluation will increase]
[The purification is completed when entering this nightmare for the first time, and the evaluation is greatly improved]
【Comprehensive Evaluation - B】
[Get 2800 public experience points, perception +1]
[Get dungeon clearance reward: 5% adaptability of elements (understanding)]
[The current awakening depth of soul elements is: radiance (100%), wisdom (47%), beauty (24%), strictness (16%), glory (11%), understanding (5%)]
[Hidden elements have been cracked: 33%]
No decryption reward.
B-level evaluation... This is the lowest evaluation among all the nightmare copies that Annan has cleared.
——This shows that he is definitely going the wrong way.
This should be considered NE, which is the normal ending. If I didn't endure the fear of dying and ran away when I made my choice before... Maybe it would trigger the bad ending of BE.
"……strangeness."
Annan rubbed his temples and sat up from the sofa.
The first two tips were completely useless.
Although he passed the customs, it is said that he has won.
But in fact Annan knew that he was defeated this time.
... But where is the real road?
Since when did you enter the wrong branch?
There are definitely differences ahead.
But the front seems too logical. Annan was very smooth, and he hit the road directly.
It's just that it's not like the last place, and it stopped for fifteen seconds to let Annan think about it. But when he played Frederick, he naturally took a fork in the road.
Or, this nightmare can't be too playful?
Annan saw that Nefertari who was lying on the table suddenly shivered, and knew that she was probably awakened.
So he shook his still drowsy head, walked over and gently patted her awake: "Are you awake, Ms. Nefertari?"
Nefertari looked up in confusion.
It was the first time that Annan saw the expressions of ordinary people after purifying their nightmares... as if they were asleep.
The moment she looked at herself, residual fear and consternation flashed in her eyes. Then there is the confusion of why he thinks like this.
"...I seem to have had a dream," Nefertari looked at Annan hesitantly. "In the dream, you seem to be dead. But it doesn't seem to be you..."
"Do you remember what happened in the nightmare?"
Annan asked Nefertari: "Any details will do."
While playing Frederick herself, she was supposed to be playing Justus in Nightmare. The perspective and information should be different from their own.
Nefertari rubbed his eyes.
Then she put her hand on her forehead, frowning hard and thinking: "I can't remember very well. After I woke up, the memory quickly dissipated. I only remember that I was very strange in the dream..."
"Even a fragment is good."
Annan added with a chuckle: "Don't worry about misleading me. I'll check it out... You just need to provide a reference."
"I understand. The wise man's mission is to 'prove the possibility', and the real conclusion is for the wise man and the digger to determine together."
Nefertari nodded and explained in a low voice.
She pondered for a while, and said unsurely: "I'm not sure, whether this memory is real...
"But I remember, you seem to have died more than once."
Oh?
Annan suddenly cheered up: "Did I die twice? Was it headshot by a flying axe and crushed to death by falling rocks?"
If Annan died twice in Nefertari's memory, does that mean that both times were true?
This can fully prove that neither side is Annan's precognitive dream, nor his pre-death memories——
"……twice?"
Nefertari raised his head in surprise: "Is it twice?"
"What's wrong?"
"But in my memory..."
The girl with red hair and burning eyes also realized something, and gradually frowned:
"—You died three times?"
