The familiar forest area, the Merlin who is still struggling to move forward.

Merlin's struggles weren't all disguised, he was weak. He used himself as a decoy to lay a deadly trap, and he had to bear the consequences of the bait being preyed on.

Walking up to a giant tree, a tired Merlin leaned on his left shoulder and gasped for breath. I don't know if it's the illusion of Merlin, or simply because the scenery in the forest is too similar, the surrounding qiē really feels too familiar.

Suddenly looking up, Merlin's eyes narrowed in terror, and it was the tall, thin strange man in a tattered cloak!

Merlin gasped. The praying mantis brothers had already chopped him to pieces! He had obviously used his ability to shatter the wreckage of that strange man! The strange pair of gloves on his hand were obviously properly stored in his backpack! But why was the strange man still standing in front of Merlin's eyes, and still pounced on him with his big, thin hands with gloves!

Merlin staggered back half a step, then raised his right arm ferociously, mustering the most powerful power to blast at the strange man, striking him to powder before he could even speak.

Seeing that the strange man's traces had turned into tiny particles, Merlin leaned against the trunk of the tree and gasped for breath, his body was completely soaked with sweat.

It's still the woods, it's still the Merlin leaning against the trunk, it's still the weirdo.

Merlin silently stared at the strange guy who appeared in front of him for the third time, and there was no emotion on his tense face.

"Little one, is it fun?" The strange man looked down at Merlin and said in a hollow tone, "Does it feel good to wander in place on my death journey?" ”

Merlin summoned his power again to shatter him to pieces......

This time, however, the strange man instantly regained his original form and continued to speak in a hollow voice, "How does it feel to swim in the dream of death that I control?" ”

The Mantis brothers swooped out again and sliced him into pieces......

"You can try again, again, again, again......"

The flames ignited and incinerated him......

"But, can you kill me?"

Thunder turned him to charcoal......

"How can you kill 'Dream'?"

The power churned him to pieces......

"What can you do to kill the Nightmare itself?"

The freezing light froze him into ice cubes before being shattered......

"I'm a nightmare!"

Cracked skull......

"I'm a nightmare!"

Tear to shreds......

There is probably no one precise definition of what fear is. Most of the time, the object of human fear is changing, sometimes they are afraid of the known necessity, sometimes they are afraid of the unknown that is nothing, sometimes they are afraid of the falsehood of self-fiction, sometimes they are afraid of the brain's meaningless fantasies, and of course more often they are only afraid of the fear itself.

For Merlin at the moment, he is experiencing a different kind of fear—struggling with an endless nightmare that he knows is a dream, but he can't wake up, going through the scene repeatedly, over and over again.

Looking at the tall and thin strange man in front of him, Merlin, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree, was tired, and there was a trace of panic on his face. Did he kill that weirdo dozens of times or hundreds of times? He couldn't even remember. He used countless tricks to kill the strange man again and again, but the strange man always appeared in Merlin's face in the same shape again, again and again.

"Is this what you call a 'death ride'? Standing still? Merlin didn't bother to continue attacking the stranger, he found a comfortable position to lean against the trunk of the tree, and spoke to the stranger very casually, "You plan to drain my strength like this, and let me die of exhaustion?" ”

"That's right, little one." The strange man walked into Merlin, "It's that simple, endless repetition, endless repetition...... "He stretched out his black leather gloved hands and pounced on Merlin, "If you choose to give up resistance, then I will take your life!" The strange man looked wicked, but slow, clumsy and pounced on Merlin.

When the strange man pounced on Merlin, Merlin jerked to one side and let the strange man go straight behind him, his right hand quickly clenched into a fist and swung his arm backwards and punched the strange man's back. Merlin's boxing power was obviously not light, and he knocked the weirdo to the ground with just one punch, and slid out head-on for a long distance. Seeing that the strange man had fallen Merlin hurriedly caught up, he slammed on the strange man's head hidden under the hood with his right foot, and said coldly while grinding it with the sole of his shoe: "Is it? So I can torture you over and over again?! ”

The harder he got under his feet, Merlin crushed his head under the soles of his shoes.

The stumpled weirdo whimpered and struggled in vain, and he didn't seem to have the strength to crush him even Merlin, who was basically unqualified. Merlin brutally stomped on his head until he had had enough of it before kicking it straight away.

"Impossible!!" The strange man who had once again recovered his original form in place shouted, "This can't be!! He was a little hysterical, "You should be getting weak little by little!" Little by little, you should be dying! You shouldn't gradually regain your strength!! Absolutely not!! ”

"Humph!" Merlin crossed his arms and looked at the strange man with a playful look, "Strange guy, it's your turn to manipulate dreams, do you think humans will be able to compare to Pokémon?" ”

The strange man trembled violently.

"Are you in my nightmare right now, or am I in yours?"

Merlin smiled sinisterly, and took a step towards the trembling stranger.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Whew~~~"

Merlin, who had escaped from the nightmare, exhaled deeply, the violently beating heart in his chest and the lungs in the rush aggravated the pain of the wound, but at this moment he had no leisure to care about the sores on the **, he was more concerned about his results. Fighting his still-chaotic spirit, Merlin looked around him.

Merlin was completely relieved when he saw the emaciated strange man curled pitifully in a panicked nightmare, and when he saw Antli and Hapu surrounding the strange man manipulating his nightmares, Merlin was completely relieved.

Using himself in the midst of serious injuries as bait to lay a trap, Merlin is indeed a bit overbearing. But if you don't get rid of those hunters who have been coming all the time, how can Merlin be at ease. Especially after experiencing the horrific nightmares one after another, Merlin is not going to let go of the murderers who have targeted him.

In order to ensure his own safety and for the trap to be able to swing its due effect at a critical moment, Merlin put the praying mantis brothers, who are the best at hunting in the jungle, on his periphery in advance, and at the same time released Heipu, who had earned the name of the forest ghost, and let it wander around the periphery. And its main purpose is to prevent the appearance of someone who may create nightmares.

Merlin never imagined that the first person he would succeed in hunting was the guy who was too arrogant.

Walking up to the strange man who was still immersed in the nightmare made by Hep and assisted by Antri, and looking at the strange pair of black leather gloves on his hands, Merlin whispered, "Good dreams......

A wave of dark purple ability was suddenly released in his hand, and Merlin finally really shredded the weirdo this time.

"This time, it's really over......"
