Ancient Valoran legends are full of tales of brave heroes triumphing over evil wizards and ugly monsters, and Shadowgate is one of them.

This is Selwyn's favorite story as a child, about a young knight squire who fights against a vicious king and stops him from shrouding the world in darkness, and finally ends happily ever after.

Abel also loved to listen to bedtime stories, so he often pestered his father to read him stories from storybooks. With a deeper impression, Abel retold the content of the story more completely.

The hero in the story is perfect and unspeakable, but the king is a pure villain, with a clear distinction between good and evil without depth, just for children. The evil king has a group of wizards who have mastered the magic of shadows, and in order to conquer the city, the king orders that the wizards send his warriors to the realm of shadows, and turn them into illusory assassins to carry out orders.

In this way, the evil king dominated the realm of the soul, and the thoughts of mortals everywhere were tainted by this darkness. It drains their fighting spirit, intrudes on their dreams, allows nameless fears to bite them day and night, and even causes some to commit horrific and horrific crimes against their fellow citizens.

The world was in turmoil, Valoran was in danger, and the last unknown knight attendant carried the banner of justice and beheaded the king.

It's a very cliché story, but after listening to it, there is an inexplicable sense of fear haunting my heart.

Referring to the birth of the nightmare, Jeno subconsciously thought that this story might have a lot to do with it.

Maybe Morteng was an assassin of the Shadow Legion under the Evil King!

"Abel! Did you bring the storybook with you? ”

The child's memory and logical ability are not good, and the paraphrase may not be complete, so Jeno wants to turn the book and take a closer look at the story, trying to find a way to bring the magic to reality.

Because Mo Teng can't enter Jeno's dream realm at all, it is better to fight in the material realm, and in reality he has countless ways to defeat the nightmare.

But in fact, Jeno didn't even know where the demon was located, it was haunted in the spiritual realm, it appeared here one second, and it was eight hundred miles away in the next second, it was as terrible as Shen's shuttle, even if it left traces, it couldn't catch up at all.

He could only find a way to lure Mo Teng over.

Jeno knew that Morten could come to reality through nightmares, and if he had a nightmare, the nightmare would come to the material realm to kill him through his nightmares, so let Hex wake him up and get up to clean up Morteng.

But he couldn't do the nightmare as much as he wanted, and the best thing was to use shadow magic.

But he doesn't know shadow magic, and the invisibility magic last time was gone, so he can't let Tam catch a shadow stream disciple and use it as bait, right?

"Abel?" Jeno called out to him again.

But Abel seemed too tired and fell asleep after telling the story, not responding to Jeno.

Jeno felt a little headache and helplessness, and lay down to get ready for sleep.

But at this moment, Jeno faintly heard his own echo, and it seemed that the room had expanded many times in an instant.

He suddenly lost his smile as he saw Abel sink down into the bed.

A chill rushed up Jeno's spine, and Abel sank deeper and deeper, like a pit opening under the mattress.

Sure enough, Moteng came, all because Jeno had asked Abel to tell the story.

That's exactly what it comes in.

At Abel's cries, the sheets wrapped tightly around his body, then began to reflect the light, becoming softer and smoother, and finally turned into a red, dirty tongue.

Selwin snapped back to his senses and reached out to Abel, struggling to grab Abel and pull him out.

But the space between the two was rapidly stretched at this moment, as if a high-speed train was instantly squeezed into the middle of the two, taking Abel farther and farther. Then that tongue became tighter and tighter, swallowing deeper and deeper.

The edge of the wooden bed cracked with a sharp thud, and the jagged pieces of wood rose up, gradually becoming sharp, yellow, and calcifying into rows of long teeth. The whole bed turned into a bloody mouth, and it was about to swallow Selwin's son in one gulp.

"Abel!" He shouted the other man's name, and a feeling of nausea made him almost fall.

The jaw opened wide, yawning like a yawn that ruptured eardrums and blood clotted. This is not the roar of a great predator, nor the howl of a beast summoning its kind. To Jeno, it sounded more like the first cry of a baby's birth...... It almost made people think it was crying out of severe pain.

"Daddy!" Abel screamed, then vanished.

The giant mouth bites hard.

With a full hiccup, wisps of black mist emerged from between the teeth of the giant mouth, with the sound of air currents, hovering above the deformed bed like a storm that was gradually forming.

As the storm settled, the ink began to be thrown out of it. Suddenly, a pair of sharp blades tore through the storm from the inside out, and the Nightmare emerged from within, revealing its terrifying true face, just as Jeno had seen before.

"Why are you having that dream?!" Morten uttered a sentence in Jeno's own voice.

Jeno's face was so ugly that he turned on his vision, but the image in front of him didn't change in the slightest, and Hex didn't warn him, so it was hard to tell if it was a dream or reality.

If the nightmare comes and he doesn't wake up, he will be passive in the dream, as this is the home of the nightmare.

Just said that he might not have nightmares, and this was invaded by the nightmare unconsciously, which was a slap in the face, but Jeno didn't seem to give up resistance like this. He flashed his ghostly claws, and the faint blue light dispelled the darkness nearby, but the darkness in the distance refused to retreat, and pressed closer.

In the face of this magical creature, the distorted spirit, the beam of energy is difficult to function, and perhaps only the spirit itself is the best way to deal with it.

Moteng bent down, his terrifying face level with his face, his swords crossed across his chest, staring at him with grim eyes.

Jeno couldn't tolerate it looking at him with such contempt, and was about to tear its face apart with a wave of his claws.

But at this moment, the words before Abel disappeared replayed in his head.

"Daddy!"

Father?

Abel's address to Jeno made him wonder, didn't he know that his father was dead? Don't you know that the person in front of you is Jeno and not his father?

Jeno understood everything in an instant, it turned out that Moteng had come through Abel's nightmare, not through his own nightmare. Because Abel is in a dream, it is not Jeno who can't be seen, but the dead Selwyn, so he will call him Dad!
