Chapter 12: The Nightmare
Xiao Yi: @β» Little Monster ^ Beast, your Kao location has received a threat from others...... οΌ
"Hmm......" Rey opened his heavy eyelids and slowly got up. He rubbed his head, which was still slightly aching, and said to himself, "Here...... Where is it...... "All around was darkness, incomparably deep, and incomparably quiet. It's like being in hell, standing in the middle of a black hole, maddeningly dark, suffocatingly quiet! "Anyone-" "Anyone-" "Isn't itβ" "......" Rey tried to scream to see if anyone else was trapped in this unknown place, but the repetition of the echo and the deathly silence that followed made his heart almost hit rock bottom. Rey forced himself to calm down, to think about how he got to this place. He was attacked by the dark undead in the black fog, he was unconscious, and he saw Gaia and Cassius...... Gaia?! Cassius?! Could it be that he is already dead?! No! It's absolutely impossible! Rey was quick to deny his unrealistic idea. So what exactly is this......
"Come on...... Come over here......" An ethereal, hoarse voice interrupted Rey's thoughts. "Who is it?!" Rey suddenly became alert, "Who's over there?!" "Go ahead...... Go forward......" the voice kept urging. "Humph!" Rey spread his thunder wings, frowned, and flew out like an arrow feather off the string with a slight touch of his toes. The bright golden light emanating from his body was so dazzling, so warm. Still...... It doesn't illuminate this boundless darkness...... Rey, he's overlooked one thing, one very important thing! - He was attacked by the dark undead, and he was already seriously injured, how can he spread the wings of thunder and light, and how can he fly normally?! Perhaps, this is a conspiracy in itself......
After flying some distance, Rey saw a man sitting not far away. However, because the man had his back to him and was wearing a wide black robe, he couldn't see the man's appearance. "Hey! Hello! Rey landed, "Did you call me?" "It's me......" The voice sounded again. Do you know where this is? Rey asked. ......" The man did not answer. "Why did I come to this place?" Rey decided to change the question. "Ka, ka, ka......" The man only made a strange sound. Somehow, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Rey's heart. "You...... You okay? Rey asked tentatively. Ka, ka, ka......" Rey's uneasiness intensified a little. Based on his instincts, he felt that his current situation was not good. Still, he wanted to try again. "You ......" Rey hadn't finished his words before the black-robed man turned. Yes! Even Rey was scared. His pupils dilated instantly, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Where are the people! It was a skeleton in a black robe! The skeleton's eyes shimmered with an eerie blue light, and the pale skeleton was covered with green moss. And the "click" sound is the sound made by the skeleton's jaw moving up and down. Rey even felt that the skeleton was laughing, sinisterly. He could even see every rib of the skeleton! "Ka, ka, ka......" The skeleton took a step forward. Not good! Rey immediately sensed that something was wrong with the aura around him. He hurriedly flew up, gathered the energy of his whole body, and quickly flew in another direction.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew....." Rey landed on the ground, his hands on his knees, gasping for air, "yes...... You should get rid of it...... "Ka, ka, ka......" The strange voice sounded again. It's as if laughing at him for being so slow. "Yes...... Damn it! Rey scolded, but quickly flew up again, "I can't get rid of it!" What kind of place is this? "Anyone?!" Rey yelled as he flew, "Anyone?!" "Give up...... You can't escape......" The hoarse voice sounded again, "wherever you flee to...... I can find you......" "But...... Damn it! Rey instantly accelerated, "I can't do it, I can't get rid of you!" "That voice, or the skeleton, probably didn't expect it - his words didn't make Rey lose confidence, but also aroused a kind of fighting spirit as Thor - keep working hard and never give up!" Ka, ka, ka......" So, he did something else.
"Boom Rumble...... "The originally calm darkness begins to change." The air flow ......" Rey in flight stretched out his right hand, "what are you doing...... a trace of black mist drifted over. "Suffered...... Oops! "By the time Rey noticed the black fog, it was too late! - The black fog has already surrounded him. "Shhh Those that touched the black mist turned black in an instant, emitting a burning smell. "Rotten ...... Corrode?! "Rey had never encountered this kind of black fog. For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed. The black mist gradually condensed into a ball, enveloping Rey inside, and it was shrinking smaller and smaller! "Ahh The balls of black mist finally touched Rey. For a moment, he felt as if he had been thrown into a pool of concentrated sulfuric acid, and the pain in every part of his body almost broke him! His expression was so distorted that some parts of his body even showed white bones.
"Let it go...... Put...... Abandon...... Abandon...... Bar...... Bar...... You...... You...... Be...... Be...... No...... No...... Can...... Can...... Yes...... Yes...... Yes...... Yes...... Merit...... Merit...... Target...... The ......" skeleton's voice echoed in Rey's ears. "I ...... There's absolutely no way I'm going to give up! Despite the pain, Rey roared and uttered the words. Die...... Die...... Arrive...... Arrive...... Pro ...... Pro ...... Head...... Head...... Finish...... Finish...... Still...... Still...... Mouth...... Mouth...... Hard...... Hard ......" Rey's words angered the skeleton, "That'...... That...... I...... I...... Only...... Only...... Good...... Good...... Good...... Good...... Fold...... Fold...... Grind...... Grind...... You...... You...... Let...... Let...... You...... You...... At...... At...... Pro ...... Pro ...... Die...... Die...... Former...... Former...... Also...... Also...... No...... No...... Get...... Get...... Pain...... Pain...... Fast...... Hurry up ......" (readers: How does it feel like you're doing fill-in-the-blank questions?!) "Ahh Yes! Yes! Yes! The black mist changed its way, turning into a dark ribbon that wrapped tightly around Rey. True...... I'm going to die...... Rey thought to himself. I haven't fulfilled my wish yet...... I haven't defeated the dark undead yet, I haven't avenged Gaia...... "good...... Good..... I...... I...... Only...... Only...... Be...... Be...... Enjoy...... Enjoy...... Happy...... Happy...... Clutch...... Clutch...... Kill...... Kill...... This...... This...... Seed...... Seed...... No...... No...... Sweet...... Sweet...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"
"What are you doing?! Do you think that others will treat you as a hero like you?! A voice rang out. At the same time, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from Rey's chest. Gaia...... "Rey's consciousness is very weak." Rey, I'm telling you! The white light on Rey's chest grew brighter and brighter as Gaia spoke. Before defeating the Dark Undead! Before the universe was at peace! "The black fog has all dissipated." You are not allowed to die!! "The white light skyrocketed, engulfing everything......
"Ahh Rey wakes up to find himself lying in a repair pod, soaked in a green nutrient solution. It turned out to be a dream...... Rey's heart gradually calmed down. "Ding!" Something in Rey's chest rang. Only then did he realize that he had something hanging around his neck. He stretched out his right hand and brought the object to his eyes. It was a pendant, and the shape of the pendant was the shape of Gaia Essence, and even the color was the same. "Huh!" Rey smiled, "Thank you, my old friend. "Ding!" The pendant made a sound again. "......" Rey slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. He's tired, really tired...... Absolutely, absolutely, won't stop, though......
