Chapter 626: The Engraving
Chapter 626: The Engraving
"Could you please stop arguing and just tell me everything at once? If you keep going back and forth like this, I'm going to 'hit the mark' here!"
"Your Eminence, the Goddess of Dreams."
Just as the Goddess of Dreams, swaying back and forth from the directors' words, stood on the wall, torn between joy and sorrow, the Waterbearer Director calmly reminded her, "You have one minute left."
What?! Only one minute left?!
Looking at the sea snail shell, now transparent from the engravings, and about to be completely pierced through, the Goddess of Dreams, on the verge of tears, had no choice but to come out of the shell. She bit her lip and reached out to Lyon, the closest person to her.
"I... I have no choice! You... Ah!"
The Goddess of Dreams let out a startled cry. Lyon, who had been silent throughout the tug-of-war, suddenly puffed out his cheeks and vomited a massive amount of black river water, drenching the Goddess of Dreams.
I don't blame you; after all, there's nothing you can do anyway!
As the Goddess of Dreams was washed by the River of Nightmares, her colorful appearance turning black, Lyon immediately stopped vomiting the river water and shouted.
"Don't move!"
Following Lyon's shout, the Goddess of Dreams, drenched in the river water, her face now blackened, actually froze in place, falling to the ground with a thud. She struggled several times but couldn't get up.
Phew...
Looking at the dazzling 'Nightmare of Nightmares' in the emblem slot, Lyon, who had temporarily resolved the crisis, couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Fortunately, when he had chased the 'fake' into the river earlier, he had also drunk a considerable amount of the river water. Although the Goddess of Dreams was once a True God, she had fallen and was still within the 'polluted' area of the River of Nightmares... Hmm... But the effect didn't seem very stable.
Seeing that the Goddess of Dreams was no longer in contact with the river water and her body was emitting a faint glow again, Lyon didn't hesitate to open his mouth again and vomited all the river water he had swallowed, intending to reinforce the pollution effect.
However, the current location of the four people and the fish was in the Moonclimbing Well Path of the 21st layer of the Dream Realm. Similar to the Soul-sink Abyss, the Moonclimbing Well Path was filled with numerous vertical wells of various sizes, and they were currently in a large one.
Despite the size of the vertical well, it was still a well, and as Lyon continued to spew out the black river water, it quickly filled the well, submerging all four people and the fish.
"Gurgle, gurgle! (Well done!)"
Seeing the Goddess of Dreams knocked down by Lyon's command, struggling to stand up, the Archer Director couldn't help but burst into laughter. He began to drink the water while spitting out blood, maintaining fluid balance.
"Blub, blub, blub (You always have surprises up your sleeve!)..."
After blowing a string of bubbles, the Waterbearer Director, whose back was broken by the Archer Director, could only shake his head helplessly and then remain silent.
"Glug, glug, glug..."
The remaining Nightmare Lyon didn't say anything. With his heart pierced by the Archer Director, he couldn't do anything but drink the water.
"Blub (It's over)..."
Looking at the golden engravings that had already pierced through the sea snail shell and imprinted themselves on her body, the Goddess of Dreams, with tears welling up in her eyes, closed her eyes in despair.
If I had one more chance to start over, I would definitely stay inside the sea snail shell and never come out!
"Click!"
As the two needles of the engraving made a full turn and met at the starting point, the unfortunate Goddess of Dreams let out a scream, then, with a look of despair...
She felt despair, but nothing happened.
"..."
What?! I'm... I'm not dead?! But... but why do I feel like something's missing...
As the pocket watch imprint reached its end and disappeared with a click, the Goddess of Dreams was momentarily stunned. Instinctively, she raised her head and looked towards the Waterbearer Director.
Before her, the Archer Director had already roared in anger.
"Gudu! Gudu gudu gudu?! (Waterbearer! You lied to me?!)”
Unfortunately, they were just a step away from success.
Ignoring the Archer Director's fury, Lyon, who stood behind the Waterbearer Director, saw the latter release his grip on the knife in his right hand. The Waterbearer Director sighed in frustration and voluntarily loosened his hold.
At that moment, as if receiving a command, the four individuals who had been impaled on each other's backs moved simultaneously.
Lyon released the 'Slicing Silver Dagger' held by the Waterbearer Director and put on the long-offline 'Screaming Hand'. He then smashed it towards the back of the Waterbearer Director's head.
The Waterbearer Director, who had released the golden knife in his right hand, also loosened his left hand's grip on the 'Slicing Silver Dagger' and transformed into a mist-like figure. He rushed forward, passing by the Archer Director, and grabbed Nightmare Lyon.
As for the Archer Director, whose heart had been pierced by the golden knife and couldn't move, he suddenly roared in anger and...
Then, with a loud thud, he fell to the ground, landing right next to the seated Goddess of Dreams.
What?!
Seeing the Archer Director fall, Lyon's fist froze in mid-air.
This isn't what we agreed upon!
I thought that after you gained your freedom, we could attack from both sides and capture the Waterbearer Director. How did you end up sitting down? You're a Director; how can your skills be so lacking?
However, the Archer Director, oblivious to his blunder, sat on the ground and shouted commands.
"Quick! Grab the Waterbearer Director! Don't let him escape!"
"..."
No... The issue now is to catch him, right? With you sitting down, how am I supposed to capture him with my head? You're sitting comfortably and giving orders without a care... Wait a minute!
Seeing that the Waterbearer Director, after grabbing Nightmare Lyon, didn't turn back to deal with Lyon but instead started to flee, Lyon's eyebrows rose in surprise. He immediately leaped forward and, amidst the unbearable pain, landed a heavy punch on the Waterbearer Director's back.
To Lyon's delight, the Waterbearer Director only screamed in pain and continued to escape while holding onto Nightmare Lyon, showing no signs of fighting back.
So, the Archer Director not only shouted but also took action, albeit discreetly?
Realizing the Waterbearer Director's apparent helplessness, Lyon, overjoyed, activated the 'Cursed Mercury'. With the 'Screaming Hand' equipped, he unleashed a frenzy of blows upon the Waterbearer Director, taking advantage of his weakened state.
However, just as Lyon was dominating the fight, the Archer Director, who had fallen behind, frantically shouted from the ground.
"You fool! You're hitting the wrong person!"
Hitting the wrong person?
Upon hearing the Archer Director's shout, Lyon felt a brief dizziness, and the Waterbearer Director and Nightmare Lyon's positions seemed to shift strangely. The person being beaten and screaming in pain changed from the Waterbearer Director, who was holding Nightmare Lyon, to Nightmare Lyon, who was now being shielded by the Waterbearer Director.
At that moment, a pocket watch imprint identical to the one on the Goddess of Dreams appeared quietly on the Waterbearer Director's left cheek. The two needle imprints embedded in the flesh began to slowly rotate.
