In the legends of the world of Anriel, Nightmares have always been depicted as the mounts of demons who come on the flames of hell to bring blood and carnage.

There must have been a disaster in the place where the Nightmare Beast was born, maybe it was a natural disaster, maybe it was [***], but there is no doubt about one thing, in this disaster, thousands of people must have lost their lives, and only this level of disaster can give birth to Nightmares, a monster condensed purely by negative emotions.

Pain and despair are the source of nightmares.

They are purely condensed by negative emotions, their bodies are between the virtual and the real, and they are naturally proficient in all kinds of dark magic, and from the time they are born, Nightmares have at least sixteen or more powers, and when they evolve to their full form, they may even break through level 20 and reach the realm of legendary magical beasts.

Although the nightmare in front of him has not broken through level 20, it has already undergone its first evolution, only to see the fire on its four hooves, and a single horn showing a faint dark red, which is at least the strength of level 18 or above, and the body between the virtual and the real has brought it a strong immunity, whether it is magic damage or physical damage, it is difficult to threaten its spiritual body, plus the dark magic that it is naturally proficient in, I am afraid that even a level 19 powerhouse like Medellin will be difficult to defeat the nightmare in front of him.

How could such a terrifying monster be dealt with by a group of adventurers?

In terms of numbers, the adventurers do occupy an absolute advantage, but the strength of the two sides is not on the same level, among the more than thirty adventurers, the strongest is only level twelve, and the weakest is only level eight, with such strength to fight against nightmares? In the words of Uncle Grean, you are killing yourselves!

Nearly ten warriors covered in heavy armor were at the forefront of the team, their armor was obviously inscribed, and they had a strong resistance to the dark magic released by the nightmare.

But is the power of nightmares more than dark magic?

Just a short sprint, let a warrior lose his life, thick and heavy armor, under the dark red horn, like a thin white paper, I saw the nightmare lower its head, the horn instantly pierced the body of a warrior, the long horn pierced from the chest, from the back through, the dark red horn tip, is emitting a faint light in the bonfire, in the violent roar, a large area of blood spilled down, the long horn dyed more bewitching.

And the time that the warrior bought for his life did not produce the desired results.

The level of the dozen or so magicians in the camp is too low.

This is precisely the inherent flaw of mercenary groups, in the Kingdom of Fran, very few mercenary groups can recruit powerful magicians because they are too expensive.

A piece of magic equipment can easily cost tens of thousands of gold coins, how many magical beasts do you need to hunt in exchange for it? Especially those characters above the level of magicians, only the magic guild can afford to raise, unless they can't enter the magic guild, no magician is willing to become an adventurer, as for the great magician...... You're going to recruit Gray's hand?

The mercenary group in front of him was already good, Lin Li looked over at a glance and actually found two magicians.

But except for these two magicians, the strength of the others is too bad, a group of **-level magicians, even in the Garros Magic Guild, are not top-notch figures, not to mention that this is the royal capital of Orana.

The weak magical power doomed them to failure.

In that precious time of chanting, almost all the mages chanted their strongest spells, from flamestorms to arcane missiles, from frost spears to flaming fireballs, and released a dozen or so spells at the same time, stirring up brilliant light in the camp in an instant...... But the light brought only an angry roar.

More than a dozen spells hit almost at the same time, but only a few can cause damage to the nightmare, and the Flame Storm is barely one, after all, it is the most powerful magic below the wizard level, but even if it is the Flame Storm, it seems to have lost its previous power, and after the brilliant sparks splashed, the Nightmare was only a scorched black trace...... Seeing this scene, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh slightly, the Nightmare was not elemental immunity, magic like Flamestorm could indeed cause damage to it, but it was far from enough to kill it.

The most effective way to deal with a monster like Nightmares, which is condensed by resentment, is undoubtedly to purify it with holy light.

However, Fran is a magical country, and few people choose a priest as their profession, and as for the paladin, it is even more rare among the rare, and it is even more difficult to find a sacred profession that can purify nightmares than to teach Anduin to dispense system potions.

Of course...... Magic is also fine, if it's powerful enough.

For example, Anduin, who had just left, with his legendary-level strength, only needed one magic to completely kill this nightmare, which was a gap in the realm, and in the face of the absolute power of the legendary-level, the body between the virtual and the real was just a floating cloud.

When the strength reaches the state of Anduin, there is no need to think about what to target, it is purely crushed by brute force, just like what he did in the forest when he first came, no matter what kind of demonic beast you have, it is directly an instantaneous burning fireball blasting over, simple and rude, and the effect is surprisingly good...... It's a pity that the old man left too quickly.

Otherwise, Lin Li really wanted to ask him to help and take down this rare nightmare in front of him.

This is a really good thing, if that single horn is used for weapon forging, I don't know how many people will be envious of death, even if it is just a piece of mortal iron, as long as the nightmare horn is added, it will immediately become a hundred times more valuable, the nightmare horn can be said to be invincible, just like the warrior just now, the armor on his body is thick and heavy, but under the nightmare horn, it is like a thin white paper, just a light poke was stabbed through the heart.

Weapons forged from Nightmare Unihorns will be endowed with powerful dark power, which is so powerful that it can easily shatter the defensive enchantment, Frost Armor? It's nothing more than a joke under the Nightmare Onehorn...... As for the Nightmare Crystal, it is something that any magician dreams of, and the endless negative emotions embedded in it on the staff can instantly increase the power of mind magic and spirit magic by several notches.

All kinds of treasures on the nightmare, Lin Li felt drooling just thinking about it.

It's a pity that this is a goldfish, which can only be seen but not knocked...... Lin Li secretly regretted it, but there were several screams in the camp one after another, and the nightmare enraged by the magic attack had completely entered a state of rage, looking from a distance like a wild horse that had broken out, with its dark red horn, it set off a bloody storm in the camp.

Under the invincible horn, the heavy armor was like a floating cloud, and no warrior could withstand a nightmare blow, but in an instant, seven or eight warriors had already fallen halfway, blood flowed from the wounds, and the camp was dyed red in an instant, and the four hooves flew up, and the fire was blazing, and the rampage nightmare was like a real nightmare, it was exuding the power of pain and despair in its own unique way.

"Hold it off and buy the magician time!" Seeing that the team was about to collapse, another roar came from the camp, it was a young man's voice, Lin Li looked at the voice, and saw a blonde young man in the corner of the camp, roaring angrily.

This roar did delay the collapse of the team, and the few surviving warriors raised their weapons in their hands again, tightly entangled the rampaging nightmare, and at the same time, the magicians behind them also completed the chanting again, this time they learned wisely, no longer trying to damage the nightmare with attack magic, but all kinds of state magic to contain it, a large number of slowness techniques, blindness techniques, and weakness techniques, covering the nightmare like a net from heaven and earth.

The body between the virtual and the real, after all, is still half virtual and half real, a large number of low-level state magic against **, also affects the nightmare, but what it brings to it is a feeling like a mosquito bite, although it is not fatal, but it is really annoying, like a buzzing fly circling in your ear, people can't wait to slap it to death.

In fact, Nightmare does exactly that...... Those red eyes, suddenly saw a bright light, followed by a huge burst of dark power, the surrounding space is showing a strange distortion, the magic elements are boiling like boiling water, even far away at the entrance of the cave Lin Li can feel it, this is a powerful dark magic.

"Why bother ......" Lin Li shook his head, he had already guessed this result, a group of adventurers with a maximum of level 12, against a level 18 nightmare, it was only a matter of time before the group was wiped out.

"Let's go, let's go back to Orana."

Lin Li unleashed two swiftness techniques, one on Sheen and one on himself, and it was almost time to go, otherwise it would be their turn to be unlucky when the Nightmare finished cleaning up the group of adventurers.

In fact, Lin Li only dared to leave at this time.

The camp is between the cave and the forest, except for using flying magic like Anduin, if you want to go back to Orlana the way you came, you have to pass through that camp, the previous battle was not fierce enough, Lin Li had to delay for so long, because he was afraid that he would be splashed with blood if he walked over, and the nightmare didn't matter if you were an adventurer or not, as long as you were a human, it didn't make a difference.

But don't worry about it now, the battle has been completely white-hot, thanks to the blessings of those magicians, Nightmare has been completely driven to the edge of madness, even if Lin Li walks over generously, Nightmare may not be interested in him, for Nightmare, that swarm of buzzing flies is the damn thing in the world.

In order to be safe, Lin Li did not use the light technique, and the two of them quietly touched the camp under the cover of night...... Both of them walked very lightly, and when they stepped on the green grass, they only made a "rustling" sound.

"Hold on! resist me! The dark power was surging wildly, and the boiling magical elements made everyone feel suffocated, and the blonde youth was already shouting hoarsely, and his red eyes were bloodshot.

But it's already too late...... The crimson light in the nightmares' eyes full of pain and despair had reached its peak, and the boiling magical elements were like a tide, constantly hitting the embankment, and it only took the last wave of the tide to rush up and break through the embankment, instantly submerging the camp.

"Big brother, I can't stand it......" Lin Li wanted to say this to him.

To be honest, he sympathized with this group of adventurers.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and it is another thing to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven.

It takes strength to turn the tide, and the thirteenth-level magician goes to challenge the eighteenth-level demonic beast, this is not called drawing a sword to help, this is called a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, in order to help a group of strangers, and stupidly filling in his own life, Lin Li asked himself if it was not so noble...... So, he could only pretend that he didn't see anything, bury his head and go to the forest...... And at this time, the dark power that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded.

In an instant, only a black mist rippled, and from a distance, it seemed like a circle of black ripples, and it seemed like a black flower was blooming, and the first warrior was almost just next to the black mist, and it was violently exploded.

It's a real explosion, flesh flying from the inside out.

The muffled sound of the "peng" made everyone only feel that their scalps were numb, and the splashed flesh and blood were mixed with pieces of armor fragments, and the armor that had been treated with inscriptions was so weak at this time, in that group of black ripples, it was like a piece of duckweed being gently torn apart.

"Death Ripple ......" Lin Li was shocked, this is the legendary eighteenth-level dark spell, even many great magicians who specialize in dark spells may not have mastered the death ripple, I didn't expect to see it on a demonic beast today...... It's over, it's over, it's completely over.

The nightmare that mastered the power of darkness was terrifying enough in itself, not to mention that this nightmare still mastered the death ripples, which were known for their great lethality, which was not just a nightmare.

The Nightmare's mastery of dark magic is very similar to that of the Phantom Demon Leopard, that is, the better the innate talent, the more advanced the dark magic mastered, and the nightmare's innate talent is determined by the negative emotions that condense it, to a large extent, this also represents the scale of that disaster.

To create a nightmare that can emit ripples of death, it will take at least a massacre of more than 10,000 people.

Thinking of the massacre of more than 10,000 people, Lin Li couldn't help scratching his head, and even stopped his steps, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard such a massacre somewhere.

The dull sound of explosions sounded one after another in the camp, and in just a few moments, the few soldiers who had survived before were completely killed under the death ripples.

They were so close that they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

At this moment, there was only a scene of flesh and blood flying in the camp.

And in the blood splashed in the sky, the speed at which the death ripples spread, like a plague, has already been forced in front of the magicians in an instant, and in a few seconds at most, this group of magicians will be buried under the death ripples, and after that, this team of adventurers will be wiped out.

And at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly shot out from the crowd, tearing through the dark fog in an instant.

At this moment, even Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned, he could clearly feel the pure divine power contained in the light.

"Holy Light!" At this moment, Lin Li's eyes were really straight, everyone knew that the Kingdom of Flange was a country of magicians, and mastering the sacred profession of holy light was as rare as a dinosaur, and finding a sacred profession that could purify nightmares with holy light was even more difficult than asking a legendary mage to take action, Lin Li never thought that among this group of adventurers, there was such a powerful sacred profession.

Death Ripple is a true eighteenth-level dark magic, and the one that can dispel it in an instant should be at least a fifteenth-level divine spell.

"No, it's not a sacred profession...... but soon, Lin Li realized that he had guessed wrong.

The black mist was dispelled, and Lin Li immediately saw clearly that it was not a certain divine profession that was emitting divine power, but a silver disc.

The blonde young man clutched the silver disc tightly with both hands, and his fair and handsome face was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

Fortunately, the holy weapon was used in time, if it was a second later, the mercenary group that he had worked so hard to develop would be wiped out under the ripples of death...... The holy weapon obtained at a huge price is indeed amazingly powerful, and the divine power contained in it can even be dispelled by eighteenth-level dark magic.

It's a pity that this artifact can only be used once...... Thinking of this, the blonde young man's eyes showed a trace of regret, the reason why the mercenary group came to the Nightmare Mountain Range to challenge this legendary nightmare was because he had a powerful holy weapon in his hand, and when he got this holy weapon, the mercenary group had already planned it.

Using the ancient tactics of warrior containment and magician attack, inflict a certain amount of damage on the nightmare, and through this damage, weaken its power step by step, and when the nightmare's power is weakened to a certain extent, he suddenly takes out the holy weapon and gives it the most fatal blow.

It's a pity that the luck is still a little worse.

Thousands of calculations, but a little bit of the calculation, this is actually a nightmare that has mastered the ripples of death...... Now that the power of the artifact has been exhausted, even if there is still a trace of remnants, it is difficult to pose a threat to the nightmare, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will end up in the end of the entire army.

The blonde youth quickly made a decision.

I saw him raise the silver plate in his hand high, and under the sky-high firelight, the light on the silver plate was particularly dazzling.

"Retreat!" With this command, another light lit up on the silver plate, but this time the light was much dimmer than when the death ripples were dispersed before.

Pure divine power poured out from the silver platter again, only this time, it was not used to dispel dark magic, but to go straight to the nightmare that emitted death ripples.

Although this is only the residual power in the holy weapon, but the power that is born with the same surname, at this time, the power that bursts out is unimaginable, the dazzling white light flashed, and it pierced through the nightmare's body in an instant, and the dark red mist poured out desperately from the wound, for the nightmare between the virtual and the real, this is its blood, this is the source of its strength, every trace of dark red mist gushing out, it will weaken its power by one point, just this attack, let its power be weakened by more than a quarter.

This would have been unimaginable before, with more than thirty adventurers taking turns to fight, and even using magic like Flamestorm would only weaken the Nightmare power a little.

"It's a pity......" The handsome face of the blond-haired young man was full of regret, if only he could delay it for another minute, as long as a minute, he could use this holy weapon to kill this eighteenth-level demonic beast in an instant...... It's a pity that it's already late.

The power in the artifact was no longer enough to kill it.

This final blow no longer means anything other than outright rage at it.

"Roar!" The roar of rage almost pierced everyone's eardrums, and the nightmare that had been truly hurt for the first time erupted into unparalleled rage, and the red eyes shone as if they were about to drip blood, and the fire that swirled around the four hooves was burning with fear.

The mercenary team has begun to retreat, the surviving archers are covering the magician, and are retreating outside the camp at a very fast speed, long before leaving, they have rehearsed the retreat process countless times, at this time the hunt failed, and the retreat was not panicked, the magician walked in the front, closely followed by them, there were archers with daggers, if the warriors were still alive, this position should have been theirs...... The team of mercenaries receded like a tide, and Nightmare's crimson eyes didn't even look at them, its eyes kept staring at the silver platter, and it knew that it was the culprit who hurt it!

"It's a pity...... "The blonde youth glanced at the silver plate in his hand again, and finally gritted his teeth and threw the holy weapon with all his strength.

The silver disc streaked a brilliant trajectory in the air, and fell into the forest with a ray of silver light...... And in the flight of the silver platter, the nightmare had already spread its hooves, and with a swirling fire, swept into the forest like a gust of wind.

"Holy!" The expression on Lin Li's face froze, and a foul word almost blurted out, he never thought that this bloody battle would end in such a ridiculous way, and he didn't expect that he, who had been careful and careful, still did not escape the fate of being splashed with blood...... The place where the silver plate fell was where Lin Li was hiding.

The legendary Nightmare Mount, how amazing the speed is, the silver plate has not yet fallen to the ground, the Nightmare has rushed in front of the two of them, at that moment, Lin Li really felt that the cold hairs all over his body stood up, this is a desperate and ridiculous feeling, as if he was honestly sitting at home watching TV, but was suddenly hit by a train...... Train...... Oh no, the speed of the nightmare is too fast, like a red lightning, between the lightning and flint, it hit Lin Li's body, that dark red horn, like an awl, stabbed Lin Li's waist...... "Retribution, this is retribution...... At this moment, Lin Li only had one thought in his mind, watching the mercenary group lose, but he didn't help, and now it was really punished by God, how did those soldiers die just now, and he is now the same fate."

The dignified traverser died in a car accident, and Lin Li felt extremely aggrieved in his heart...... Before he died, Lin Li just wanted to say one thing to Nightmare: "You should fucking go get a driver's license!" ”

.................. "Mr. Ferry, Mr. Ferry...... Are you alright? But after closing his eyes for a long time, he heard Sheehan's voice again.

"Huh?" Lin Li was startled at first, how can this guy Sheen still talk even if he dies? Then he suddenly remembered that he was stabbed by the unihorn of the nightmare, how could it not hurt at all, could it be that the unicorn also has its own anesthetic effect?

Thinking of this, Lin Li opened his eyes violently.

And then, he was stupid...... Everything in front of me is simply ridiculous.

The culprit silver plate lay at his feet, on a green grass, exuding a faint divine aura.

And the nightmare of the road killer has disappeared without a trace...... For a while, Lin Lizhen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he originally thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't suffer even a slight injury, there was no trace of scars on his body, the only thing that was wrong was that there was only a small hole on the robe of the Flame of Rage, which was where the nightmare unicorn stabbed...... "This is too fake, right?" ”

Lin Li couldn't believe his eyes, it was as if a murderer had been caught by the police, but the judge had only convicted him of stealing...... Lin Li, who covets the nightmare unicorn, how can he not know what it is? It was an invincible murder weapon in the world, and the dark power contained in it was enough to destroy most defensive barriers, not to mention that he was only wearing a raging flame robe, even if he was like those adventurers, covered with heavy armor, he couldn't withstand the nightmare one-horned blow, like the lightning rush just now, how could it be as simple as a small hole?

But...... I was all over my body, and there was obviously only this one thing that was wrong.

"Is it because of this thing?" In Lin Li's mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and he finally thought of a possibility...... The pocket of the Robe of Flame is exactly where the Nightmare Onehorn stabs.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Li hurriedly put his hand into his pocket and touched the strange crystal at once.

The surface of the crystal is still densely patterned, but the light that shines out is a strange dark red.

When Lin Li saw it for the first time, he thought he was wrong.

He clearly remembered that when he was in the cave, this crystal was transparent, why did it suddenly reveal a strange dark red when it just came out?

But soon, Lin Li knew why.

Because from this crystal, he felt a familiar breath.

The color of the crystal can be mistaken, but this familiar breath, Lin Li can never be mistaken, it is the unique breath of nightmares, dark and oppressive, such an aura, only nightmares born in despair and pain will emit it.

"Holy! This crystal ...... Actually ate a nightmare? For a while, Lin Li could only think of the word "eat" to describe this absurd scene.

(To be continued)
