"Child, open the door, hurry and open the door, look outside, I’m not the monster, I’m your mother, I’m your mother!"
"Ah... Hurry and open the door, the monster is chasing , hurry, if you don’t open the door, your mother will die..."
"No, no, hurry and open the door, hurry and open the door..."
"Ah... You’re not my mother... Ah ah... You’re the monster’s disguise, don’t co in, don’t co in, get out of my house, ah ah ah..."
"Save , save , hurry and save , the monster ca into my house, I’m begging you, Auntie Axia, save ..."
"Don’t open the door, don’t open the door for her, she has already been swallowed by the monster, she is now disguised as the monster, definitely, definitely don’t open the door, and don’t go outside. Stay in your own ho and wait for the Lord Witch to save us, that’s the only way."
"Don’t be deceived at all costs!"
Nightmares are called nightmares because everything here, like a dream, is full of change.
The tactics of those nightmare creatures are not simply forcefully crashing into the house door; they even use various deceptive ans, disguising themselves as the hoowners’ friends and family, or even neighbors, to trick them into opening the door voluntarily.
Furthermore, their deception techniques beco increasingly sophisticated and realistic as they consu more Laiserman souls’ consciousness.
Because during the devouring process, they also read the soul mories of the other party, perfectly imitating not only the voices and actions, but even mories. When they reveal secrets that only they themselves know, many people believe them to be true.
Especially naive and ignorant children, they are the easiest victims of such scams.
And these new victims’ images and mories soon beco new tools for fraud.
Gaven didn’t think twice, and ran towards a place away from those black mists; he didn’t attempt to knock on those Laiserman doors anymore. This kind of scam was clearly not the first ti it was played out, and those who survived had built up experience, unwilling to be easily deceived again.
Going to knock on doors now would only be seen as the monster’s disguise, and no one would respond to him.
Moreover, under such circumstances, taking them along clearly would be a burden. It’s better to do what needs to be done and then co back later to rescue the souls trapped by nightmares.
As long as they don’t leave their hos, the Dushan Witch can’t do anything to them for the ti being in the short-term.
Moving along the abandoned streets, Gaven soon found the busiest area of the Nightmare Dream Realm – the South Wall Combat Zone.
It was a replica of the real battlefield, with combat scenes no less intense than in reality, but it was no longer a duel; it had beco a three-sided battle.
Besides the Laiserman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers, there are also a bunch of creatures akin to those crawled out from nightmares.
They possessed human upper bodies but had eight-legged spider lower bodies, not Spider-Transford Dwarves, because their upper bodies were in the form of Laiserman.
They had human upper bodies and horse lower bodies, Half-Centaur, but their upper bodies were Tukan people.
There were even half-human, half-bird forms, as well as those covered with eyes or arms.
The only similarity was these monsters were all shrouded in black mist, resembling Specters more than humans.
The Laiserman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers who fought tooth and nail in reality were now fighting side by side here, jointly combating those nightmare creatures.
Because they witnessed their companions being killed, and those distorted malford monsters erged from their companions’ bodies, just like the nightmare version of themselves.
Clearly, these Laiserman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers were already dead, their souls becoming the spoils of the Nightmare Dream Realm. To make them a part of this realm, they must be killed once more, releasing their nightmares.
The Dushan Witch’s main focus was here, having not yet gotten around to dealing with those Laiserman holed up in their hos; once she’s completely free, their soul shelters might not be able to eternally ensure their safety.
Gaven simply watched coldly for a while to confirm the situation, then quietly retreated, heading away from this place.
He continued moving northwards, where not only were the rundown Laiserman houses gone, but even the ruins couldn’t be seen, just thick white fog.
Further inside, he left the Nightmare Dream Realm’s covering and entered the Ether Plane.
Normally, complete dream realms like Dragon Oak Dream Realm or Totem Dreamscape first establish a closed space, isolating themselves from the Ether Plane.
Initially, it might be separated with distinct fog, but as the dream realm continues to grow, this closed space’s protective layer becos more complete, eventually forming a new curtain, and a half-plane is born within the Ether Plane.
The Dushan Witch’s Nightmare Dream Realm apparently didn’t have enough ti to set defenses; her rapid attack left many flaws.
At least in a dream realm professional’s eyes, like Gaven’s, it certainly appeared so.
Earlier, even without utilizing a backdoor, he could have snuck in through the Ether Plane.
Gaven took ten more steps in the Ether Plane, ensuring the Ether Mist enveloped him completely, then turned to look; Nightmare Mosantiel City had disappeared, replaced by a mass of shadowy black mist, like sothing alive, writhing continuously and trying to engulf everything around, as both sides moved farther apart.
