Chapter 622: I'm Eating Too!
Chapter 622: I'm Eating Too!
"No! No!"
"Lord Nightmare King!"
"Mercy!"
Accompanied by the nightmare's continuous screams and pleas for mercy, the once-extinct Dream-devouring Armor reappeared in the Soul-sink Abyss in a different form, devouring the surrounding nightmares that had gathered around.
As the Dream-devouring Armor and the Nightmare Leon fed on the nightmares, the Mirror Crown on Nightmare Leon's head, which had been cut in half, began to show signs of restoration.
I've already warned you!
Watching the rapidly expanding sea of bugs, the cleaners were so shocked that they kept retreating. Nightmare Leon, whose size had increased exponentially, couldn't help but let out a cold hum with satisfaction, and then he accelerated his feeding speed.
The cleaners' previous actions were likely a stall for reinforcements, and the longer this situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would become. However, at this moment, Nightmare Leon couldn't escape, and if he turned back to fight the 'main body,' he would slowly be 'assimilated.'
So, Nightmare Leon's only choice was to directly consume the countless nightmares born from the Nightmare, forcefully replenishing the remaining Nightmare power and becoming the new Nightmare Lord!
Although this method of replenishing the Nightmare power required a terrifying number of nightmares to be consumed, it would probably take eating up half of the Soul-sink Abyss, but it was all worth it! As long as he could completely surpass the distinction between humans and gods and become a true deity, it would be equivalent to gaining recognition from the entire Dream Realm. At that time, he would be completely immune to assimilation from the 'main body' and become the true Nightmare King with no weaknesses!
...
With Nightmare Leon's full activation, the bug carpet, centered around him and fed by the million nightmares nearby, began to grow exponentially, and no matter how the cleaners tried to kill them, the black and gold beetles continued to multiply.
"These bugs... there are too many of them!"
"We can't kill them all!"
"We can't stop them!"
This can't go on! It's absolutely necessary to stop this! As the cleaners responded in panic, Leon looked at the black and gold beetles that couldn't be killed, and in the distance, he saw the fake Nightmare Leon, whose Mirror Crown had been repaired, and whose aura was subtly transforming. Leon couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
"Senior Abigail!"
"Huh?"
"I'm really sorry this time!"
When Leon called out Abigail's name, his figure was still in the distance, but as he apologized with a guilty expression, his entire person had already appeared behind Abigail.
Not again?
When Leon grabbed Abigail's arm, she immediately guessed what he was about to do and froze.
Brother! This is the third time! What grudge do I have with you? With so many people around, why do you insist on targeting me? And, can't you just make it quick? If you want to eat... Ah!
To the cleaners' astonishment, Leon, who had looked like a regular person, suddenly expanded dozens of times in size. His once clean and fair skin instantly turned crimson.
A seemingly endless flow of blood ran down his face, sticky and unceasing, dripping into the black river below. Behind him, an ancient gate separating life and death slowly opened.
Could this be an anomaly occurring in the Dream Realm, another non-material world, as a result of 'feeding'?
Leon glanced at the shadow of the Gate of Death, and seeing that the "fake" was on the verge of ascending to godhood, the situation was rather urgent. Without delving further, Leon opened his mouth and threw Abigail, who was screaming, into it.
He actually ate her!!!
Even though they had been "vaccinated" several times before and knew that Leon would have a voracious appetite when pushed to the brink, the cleaners were still shocked to see him swallow Abigail in one gulp.
However, what shocked them even more was...
It seemed like it wasn't enough.
Grabbing the equally gigantic Cutting Silver Dagger, Leon slashed at the sea of bugs beneath his feet, clearing a large area. He then estimated the speed at which the Black Gold Beetles were multiplying, and couldn't help but furrow his brows.
In the next instant, Leon's blood-covered giant figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already behind a second-class cleaner from the Sheep Division Bureau, grabbing the fleeing cleaner.
"Senior, sorry about this."
What are you sorry about? You're clearly enjoying this!
The Sheep Division cleaner, now in Leon's grasp, knew there was no escape. Mustering his last bit of courage, he shouted before being thrown into Leon's mouth:
"Ashima! Run with them! Don't let them...Ah!!!"
Following the Sheep Division cleaner's "final" warning, the remaining cleaners reacted and began to frantically flee in the opposite direction of Leon, relying on the acceleration provided by the Minos Cursomercury.
But before they could even start, they realized that Nightmare Leon, with his soul strength skyrocketing, had already reacted and begun to force the Nightmares and Black Gold Beetles to slaughter them, trying to kill these "nutrients" that would make the "original body" stronger.
Even driving the Nightmares wasn't enough. To speed up the killing efficiency and prevent these "nutrients" from being devoured by the "original body," Nightmare Leon's hand had already reached for the Mirror Crown on top of his head.
Not good!
After noticing Nightmare Leon's actions, Leon's gaze slightly intensified, and he immediately activated the Unjust Snake Contract, forcefully swapping the entire Minos Cursomercury.
With the extreme speed provided by the Cursomercury, Leon transformed into a silver light. Whenever he found a cleaner in distress, he would immediately rush over to save them, but the way he saved them...
The safest place right now is inside my stomach!
Not only cleaners but also the Nightmares encountered along the way were swallowed! Everything that could be sent in, was sent in!
Nightmare Leon, shrouded in gray mist, was temporarily invulnerable to Leon's attacks. So, Leon rushed to devour the Nightmares before him, hoping to slow down Nightmare Leon's "evolution."
Therefore, he had to eat, and eat vigorously!
Amidst the extreme shock of the cleaners, Leon seemed to have gone mad, just like Nightmare Leon. He grabbed whatever he could and stuffed it into his mouth. Due to the extreme speed boost provided by the Cursomercury, his eating speed was only slightly slower than Nightmare Leon's.
In just a few hours, the two Leons' frenzied eating had cleared the entire area. The millions of Nightmares that had gathered there were devoured without a trace.
Except for Amien, who was holding the hand of the Pisces Director, and a trembling Conch Shell hiding behind them, the surroundings were dead silent, leaving only the pitch-black waters of the River of Nightmares.
