Chapter 22: The Horror Demon
In the face of the horror's provocation, Vanessa struggled to keep her composure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Vanessa had no impression of the paladin in front of her, but since the Dreadbook in front of her, who claimed to be Edgeworth, declared it to be her deepest nightmare, she had to believe it, because there was no need for the enemy to deceive her with something that she didn't even know about.
"Remember, don't look at him, those eyes, eyes, eyes!"
Julian's crazy words echoed in Vanessa's ears.
Without being reminded by others, just based on the first impression, Vanessa knew that the eyes on the sword were probably not so simple, but if you didn't look at the giant sword, it was almost impossible to fight it, you know, Vanessa is best at "seeing".
"Let me think about how you should be allowed to die."
Edgeworth deliberately speaks his mind, and he likes the fear of his prey.
"Split you in half directly with a sword, or use magic to take away the blood from your body, or maybe use the eyes on this sword to turn you into stone, well, it's not bad to decompose the rays......"
Edgeworth seems to be thinking about what to do with a fish, steamed, braised or fried, which sounds exciting, but when you're the fish, it doesn't feel so good.
Vanessa inevitably had the idea of running away, but the thought that it was her dream made her realize that she had nowhere to run at all. But with the thought of leaving, Vanessa felt as if she was floating, no, it wasn't like, she was really floating in the air!
Yes, since this is my dream, then am I not omnipotent?
Vanessa thought in her heart of flying, and sure enough, a pair of light wings were born on her back, and with a slight movement, she broke away from the earth and into the air.
"In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Vanessa waved in the air, and a short bow of soft light appeared in her hand, and as she pulled the bowstring, an arrow of light appeared on the string.
"I declare that my arrows can pierce through all armor and will surely hit the enemy."
Vanessa confidently shot the arrow of light, making a dazzling trajectory in the air, and the arrow was incredibly fast, as if it had just appeared and had already flown to its target.
But Edgeworth had no intention of dodging, and looked mockingly at Vanessa, and the arrow was annihilated in front of it.
"I've invaded the dreams of countless creatures, and you think I don't know what they can do in their dreams? But no matter how powerful they may be in their dreams, they will end up being my food, and as I said a long time ago, don't show your barren imagination again. ”
Edgeworth raised his hand and shook it hard at Vanessa, and there was a thud in the air.
Suddenly, Vanessa felt that the atmosphere around her froze, and she was not only unable to move, but also unable to breathe, and her whole person was like an insect trapped in pine resin.
"Damn, it's a dream but it feels so real."
Vanessa, who was almost crushed into a cake by the air, subconsciously turned into a cloud of mist, but she was still trapped in this atmospheric cage, and then she allowed herself to teleport out instead, so that she could get out of the invisible shackles.
Vanessa gulped in the air, her head thinking about what to do.
Obviously, the paladin in front of her is not only powerful, but also more familiar with the battles in her dreams than her, she must win by surprise and think of some new methods, but there are so many fantasy stories in this apocalyptic world, most people have just heard friends boast about their experiences. Only spells can give people unlimited fantasy space, but Vanessa doesn't know anything about advanced spells, and she can't even do basic understanding, which undoubtedly makes Vanessa fall into an unsolvable predicament.
"People can't imagine what they haven't seen, the so-called imagination is based on rich experience, of course, some people are born with a strong imagination, they are my favorite, that taste is unforgettable."
Edgeworth looked contemptuously at Vanessa in the air.
"It's your dream after all, so everything that happens here depends on your brain, you can't fool yourself, and if you think you can kill me at a single thought, you're very wrong. What's more, it's my current incarnation, I'm afraid that in your subconscious, you don't think you have any means to hurt me, right? As I said, I'm your worst nightmare, and you're going to die in endless fear! ”
After Edgeworth finished speaking, he slashed forward with his sword in both hands, and just when Vanessa felt inexplicable, she suddenly found herself transferred to Edgeworth, and the giant sword came head-on!
Vanessa repeated her old trick and turned into smoke to dodge a sword, but when she just changed back to her original form, she found that one of the eyes on the giant sword suddenly looked at her, and a pale green ray shot out of the eye, and Vanessa was hit by the ray before she could react.
"What did you do?"
Vanessa didn't dare to stay where she was, she flapped her wings and flew into the air.
"You can't escape now."
Edgeworth began to swing his sword again, just like before, Vanessa was once again forcibly displaced under the attack of the greatsword, she just wanted to flash out but found that it had no effect, the greatsword cut into Vanessa's left waist, she resisted the sharp pain and turned into smoke to dodge the blow.
Vanessa flew directly into the distance this time before turning back into her original form, she touched her waist and found that there was no wound, but the pain just now was very real.
"The damage here won't be reflected on the avatar, but it's real, and you might die a painful death."
Edgeworth then swung the greatsword in succession, keeping Vanessa in a vaporized form for the rest of the day, and it was clear that Vanessa had no power to fight back at all.
However, Vanessa was also beaten out of anger, she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought that since she couldn't attack, she could let the doppelganger attack, she hurriedly imagined her doppelganger, and with a phantasm change, she was divided into five identical people.
"How do you pick it up this time?"
Five meteors streaked across the sky and shot at Edgeworth from different angles.
Edgeworth still didn't bother to dodge, the five barbed blades of its armor that looked like living creatures swung rapidly, knocking down the incoming arrows of light one by one.
"It's my turn."
Edgeworth raised the greatsword, and a large number of eyes on it were looking around, and as the entire greatsword emitted a pale blue light, all eyes shot out a ray of rays, and countless rays of various colors danced all over the sky, weaving a web of death.
Vanessa watched as her doppelgangers were killed one by one, burned through her heart by crimson rays, broken into a pile of ash by dark green rays, petrified by purple rays, frozen into ice sculptures by sea blue rays, and the pain suffered by her dead doppelganger was also transmitted to Vanessa's body, making her almost faint.
"Let me tell you the fact that I am only using the power of this avatar now, not using any dream power, in other words, my current strength is just an incomplete piece of the residual impressions in your memory, and you can't defeat me now with all your imagination, what does this mean? Explain that even if you can be as powerful as you imagined, you still can't defeat this paladin, this is your deepest nightmare, a nightmare that you can never overcome! ”
Edgeworth's words pierced Vanessa's illusions like a sharp spear.
Vanessa knew in her heart that it would be difficult to defeat the monster in front of her on her own, this horror demon had probably devoured countless victims, this was undoubtedly its home turf, and the reason why it didn't kill her now was just to torture her.
Under the pressure of multiple pains and death, Vanessa was in a trance reminded of the stories Simon had told her, wonderful stories she had never heard before, new fairy tales that she had never dreamed of. I don't know if it's useful or not, but it's already her last straw, and she's going to try it anyway.
The pain came and went quickly, Vanessa looked at Edgeworth who was holding up the eyeball sword below, and for some reason felt a sense of absurdity in her heart, as if this sword was not used this way. But soon Vanessa got her mood in order and began to remember the story Simon had told, and then Vanessa closed her eyes and waved her hand forward.
"Maleficent!"
A huge force swept all around, and for a moment the world seemed to stand still, everything stopped moving, the wind stopped flowing, the fire stopped burning, even the eyes on the greatsword were closed, and everything fell into a deep sleep. This sleeping force is far beyond the scope of sleep, more like bringing things to a standstill, this force even puts everything into a deep sleep, and time freezes here. Edgeworth, with his powerful mental strength, did not fall asleep but could not move, and the effect of the Sleeping Spell was obviously not over, Edgeworth saw that a large fence of thistles had grown around it, and the longer and taller it grew, the longer and denser, it gradually became entangled in thistles, as if there were countless hands firmly grasping it, making it difficult to get out, and these thistles pierced into its body, making it extremely painful.
"This isn't the magic of this world, how can you know the spells of the other world?!"
Edgeworth began to panic a little, but it knew that its current avatar still had unknown powers, and it hurriedly urged the potential in its body, and suddenly it felt a throbbing.
Surrounded by countless thistles, Edgeworth was surprised to see a moon slowly rising, like a reflection in the water, illusory and beautiful.
At this moment, Edgeworth suddenly felt his body lose control, and an angry rebuke came out of his own mouth.
"Presumptuous! Blasphemer! ”
Edgeworth looked at the illusory moon, and it felt that it seemed to be the eyes of some kind of creature, the infinite changes were hidden in the silver light, and it was as if it heard the sound of the waves, and in the vast sea was pregnant with a bright moon that shone on all beings.
Edgeworth was in a state of extreme panic now, but an uncontrollable curiosity drove it to complete the ritual, and the Illusory Moon drew closer and closer to it until it devoured it.
After a moment's trance, Edgeworth found himself standing on the water, the sky was a fog, and he looked up but could not see the moon. Everything here is full of unreality, as if it were a dream, but on the contrary, it never dreams.
"This should be the dream of that human woman, how could such a ridiculous thing happen!"
You know the answer.
Edgeworth looked down into the water, where the bones and eyes of countless creatures were hidden beneath the clear surface, which swam like fish.
"Is this what happens to the blasphemer?"
Edgeworth smiled miserably, looking at the monster looming out of the mist, a strange spider with eyes embedded in it.
At this point, the hunter becomes the prey.
