Chapter 260: Life and Death (II)
I saw my own attack pass through the demon's body, as if it had slashed through a virtual image. The expression on Wendy's face froze instantly, and the three doppelgangers involuntarily took a few steps back at the same time.
"What a 'doppelganger' is nothing more than a gimmick...... "The Nightmare King shook his finger disdainfully, "hide your own body in the \/parallel 'imaginary number realm', and then attack by projecting three 'shadows' onto 'this side'." And the doppelganger is a virtual image and has the ability to interfere with the energy level of the real space, hehe, that's why you've always used thunder and lightning, which seems to be powerful, but it's actually a very chicken attack method. โ
The Nightmare King's seemingly casual words, but every sentence hit Wendy's heart like a hammer, she has never been recognized since she had this ability, and she has challenged and defeated many opponents who are stronger than herself. But now that her ability has just been displayed, the other party has seen her roots at a glance, and the previous confidence has long been gone, and an ominous premonition almost made her turn around and flee on the spot.
"What, are you starting to get scared?" The Demon King laughed for a long time, "If you use this method on an ordinary opponent, it will be really difficult...... However, this is only for opponents who do not have this ability. โ
As he spoke, the Nightmare Demon King's body blurred for a while, and the next moment, three identical Nightmare Demon Kings appeared in place so generously. With the same appearance and the same action, the effect of its clone is exactly the same as that of Wendy on the other side.
"How is that possible?! How can you have the same abilities as me......" Wendy was really frightened, she took a few steps back, and hurriedly summoned several thunderbolts, constantly blasting towards the three same Nightmare Demon Kings on the opposite side. However, the result, of course, was not unexpected, and all the attacks penetrated the enemy's body without hindrance, without causing any substantial damage.
"Stupid ant, since you know that I am just a 'projection' like you, then naturally I will not be attacked by 'this side'. Don't forget, this is the Nightmare Realm, and I know more about the rules of space than you need to know. Mere ants will only play some 'edge balls' opportunistically, how can they come into contact with this real space avenue! The projections of the three Nightmare Demon Kings looked up to the sky and laughed together, only to see that in a flash, all of its bodies disappeared in place at the same time. Wendy finally couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, she understood that since the other party could also make a projection illusion, then its essence could also appear in the 'imaginary space' where her own body was hiding. Then, it also has the ability to kill itself.
"Got you!" Before Wendy could turn around and flee, suddenly a cold breath spurted straight to the back of her neck, and the voice of the Demon King actually came to her ears.
"Not good!" Wendy's first instinct was to lunge forward, but a powerful arm grabbed her waist from behind, holding her firmly.
At this time, Kim, who had already solved the golden terminator, had already turned around, and in his field of vision, three identical Nightmare Kings appeared behind the three Wendy's doppelgangers at the same time, holding her firmly in his arms in the same position.
"Boom-" An earth-shattering explosion came from not far away, and dozens of beast soldiers successfully blew the black alien reaper to pieces with the "biobomb" they had formed. Barbara, on the other hand, dodged the aftermath of the explosion in time, and her ability is to give life to the machine and turn it into a powerful Transformer. But the Transformers she controls are not part of her inseparable body, she can give up this carrier at any time if necessary, and as long as she finds another carrier, she can create an equally powerful Transformer again.
At this moment, she had already gotten into the cab of a truck that had overturned on the side of the road, only to see a burst of blue light. There was a crisp sound of metal grinding from the truck, and an army-green square-headed Transformer rolled on the ground and stood up.
"Yo, good job. Let me see what the situation is now...... One to three? Oh no, I think it's one to two......" The Nightmare Demon King laughed, and Wendy, who was hugged by it, suddenly let out a scream, and a bloody hole exploded in her left chest, and one of the Nightmare King's arms ran through her body, and in the middle of that big hand, there was still a beating heart.
"Wendyโ" Kim and Barbara screamed as they rushed forward. However, they also know that the current Demon King and Wendy's body are still hidden in the "Imaginary Number Realm", and all they can see are the three projections of each other.
"Mixed ...... Bastard...... "Wendy, who suddenly lost her heart, was not completely dead, she gritted her bleeding teeth, held the arm that ran through her body tightly in her arms with both hands, and whispered word by word, "You want to kill me...... Then die with meโ"
With that, countless cracks appeared on the surface of her body, and countless lilac rays of light filtered through those cracks. The Nightmare King seemed to try to pull his arm back, but Wendy's dying counterattack showed her extraordinary strength, and the Nightmare Demon King twitched twice, unable to push her body away at all.
"Don't go over!" Kim grabbed Barbara, who was still about to pounce, and at the same time pushed forward with his right palm, the energy crystal in his palm shone brightly, and a pale golden energy defense shield appeared in front of him, completely covering the bodies of the two.
Wendy's body finally burst open, like a dazzling bomb, first a large amount of purple light was released, and the Nightmare King behind him was wrapped in it. Then I saw that the core of the explosion seemed to have undergone a secondary explosion, but this time the explosion did not continue to be released, but rapidly collapsed towards the inside of the core. It was like a miniature black hole that suddenly appeared, greedily devouring everything around it, not even the light and flames of the explosion were spared.
Eventually, the black hole disappeared, and the surrounding twisted folds of space returned to calm. There was no trace of Wendy's existence in the void, nor was there any sign of the Nightmare King.
The battlefield fell into an eerie silence, and both Barbara and Kim stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the direction in which Wendy had disappeared, not knowing what to say for a long time. At Millerker, Wendy is a veteran powerhouse with the same seniority as Kim, who usually likes freedom and doesn't like to be constrained by the company. She is so capable that she almost never needs the power of the company to return from the Nightmare Realm easily, and even the occasional raider has never affected her.
The first time Kim saw her, it was a hundred years ago, and although she still looked like a harmless young girl, the momentum she exuded with her gestures was no longer below her. At that time, he invited Wendy to join the fledgling Millerkel, but was rejected. Later, they just maintained an ordinary friendship relationship, until a later operation to hunt high-level nightmares, the two joined forces again, and with the strength that had just broken through the general-level barrier and entered the half-step king realm, the two of them actually easily crossed the level challenge and successfully won the insolent high-level nightmare in one fell swoop.
And that time, Kim saved Wendy's life, after all, Wendy at that time was still quite limited in the time that the phase clone technique could last. So, Kim asked Wendy again for an invitation, and Wendy finally agreed to him after thinking about it for a long time. On the one hand, it is naturally to return a favor to Kim, and on the other hand, Wendy's own "beast concoction technology" has become more and more perfect, and only with the help of Millerker's huge research resources can this ability be completely completed.
Maybe it's taking what they need, or maybe they're like-minded. In the decades that followed, the two men worked together to run the behemoth Millerker, which has brought it to where it is today. However, today, Kim watched this eternally young little girl disappear in front of him, without warning or making him make any preparations, and even the other party did not even give him a last word, and just left. Kim's hand was stretched out in mid-air, as if trying to grasp something, but in the end it became tighter and tighter, and energy ripples appeared on the iron fist, as if trying to break through the spatial barrier in front of her and retrieve her possible remaining corpse.
"That's it...... Is that the end there? Barbara was the first to break the deathly silence, her voice hesitant, the massive body of the Transformer standing beside Kim like an adult with a baby.
Hearing Barbara's words, Kim jerked out of his thoughts. Although Wendy's death hit him hard, after all, he was a veteran master who had experienced countless life and death, and he regained his strength in just a few seconds.
"No, the Nightmare Realm has not collapsed, and there is no free nightmare energy generated by the death of the Nightmare Demon around......" Kim's body slowly rose, and the weapon bay on his body was all opened again, making a solemn appearance, "Moreover, what is this strong sense of oppression, why do I think the opponent is stronger than before......"
Barbara also felt the pressure in the air getting stronger, she licked her somewhat dry lips, and the Transformer pulled out an alloy blade in the shape of a mountain knife from behind her, clenched her hands, and stared deadly ahead. Where's the same place where Wendy disappeared after she blew herself up.
"Interesting humans, they can actually let me be hurt a little bit, and actually blow up the passage to the 'imaginary number realm', tsk, if it weren't for my movements being just as fast, I might really be imprisoned there forever......" The Nightmare Demon King's indifferent and somewhat playful voice came from the void, and then the originally empty mid-air suddenly twisted and fluctuated like a stone smashing into the water, and then the space seemed to be torn open a crack, and a tall figure stepped out of it.
"Die!" Barbara had already finished gathering momentum, and the continuous pressure in the air also made her feel extremely uneasy, and at this moment, before the Nightmare Demon King's body completely walked out of the spatial crack, she had already jumped high, and the alloy giant blade in her hands that was five times the length of a normal person slashed down towards the opponent's head with the sound of whirring wind.
