Battle Seventy-Ninth - Nightmare of the Dream Beast
"Is this the place where we're going to fight?" The first to actually come to the arena was the group of Ciri and Rafis, the holy beasts they were about to face were not easy to deal with, and when they entered the arena, they felt a little dizzy, and the scene around them kept shaking.
"Rafis, do you feel dizzy?"
Rafis nodded, although both of them felt dizzy, but they never let go of each other's hands, and they clenched more and more, Ciri knew that the battle had begun at this time, but they didn't know what kind of battle the holy beast they were facing at this time.
"Mountain Elves, please tell us what's going on?"
"You've come to the realm of the Nightmare Beast, and the next battle you're going to face is the Nightmare Beast of Dreams. ”
"Dream Holy Beast Nightmare?What is that?Is there such a life form in the Celestial Realm?" "Ciri still wants to know more information, so that in the face of the battle that really starts, he will not seem at a loss, but the test is a test after all, and it is impossible for you to start when you are fully prepared, so Rafis's foreknowledge ability told her that the mountain elves would not continue to tell them, as long as the battle began, Rafis would be able to start talking.
"Ciri, don't ask, I think the mountain elves have already told us everything we need to know, and it's up to us to find out. ”
"That's right, my mission has been accomplished, Ciri, Rafis, your battle site is here--Dream Demon Realm, I hope you can pass smoothly, oh, I forgot, the holy beasts in the holy mountain are all illusory bodies, and the important basis for you to pass the test is to lift the spell imposed on you by the holy beast, and I wish you good luck. With that, the mountain elf vanished.
"What do we do now? We can't see this monster at all, but I know that we have entered its spell, and I am sure that I can defeat a physical opponent, but now such an illusory enemy, I really don't know what to do to get out. "Ciri began to have decadent thoughts, and always felt that he must not be able to complete it smoothly now, but now Ciri is 'abnormal', because at this time he seems different from usual, all this is seen by Rafis, she began to analyze the current situation, but what needs to be done now is to let Ciri stop falling into the control of the Nightmare Beast again.
"Heri, calm down, things aren't as you think, let's calm down and analyze them. ”
At this time, Rafis suddenly found that a dark circle appeared under their feet, and there were many unfamiliar words and symbols in the circle, and these symbols and words were still being transformed, these strange words may not be known to others, but for the heirs of the power of Arnos and Tethys, they are very familiar.
"Oh no, we've stepped on the spell of the Nightmare Beast, now we have to leave this spell circle before we can recover, Ciri, are you okay?" Rafis feared that Ciri would fall under the spell and completely lose her combat power and thinking ability, but Ciri did not disappoint her.
"Let's get out of here, I'm afraid I'll have that thought again in a while. ”
The two of them can walk out of the circle step by step with difficulty, but their feet are like being absorbed by the words in the circle, and every time they lift their feet, they have to pay considerable physical strength.
"This can't be done, if we go on like this, let alone go out, we may fall down directly in the circle due to physical exhaustion. "Ciri still uses his own spells to retain the only remaining sanity in his heart, the spell of the Nightmare Beast will slowly make people go through the process of self-destruction from no confidence - decadence, and now Ciri knows that he is suffering from the attack of the second layer of decadence, so he uses his mana to protect his heart from attack, but the power of the Nightmare Beast is too strong, I am afraid that it will be completely broken in a while, and then he will really choose to self-destruct.
"I have a way to get me out of this spell circle first. Hearing Rafis's words, Ciri seemed to know the solution.
"Angel Aperture, how did I not think that as long as I unfold the Angel Aperture, so that we can not be attacked by the Nightmare Beast and leave this circle temporarily. Okay, I'll open the Angel Aperture now. ”
Reciting the spell, Ciri's angelic aura opened, protecting Rafis inside, and this skill also made Ciri and them get out of the spell circle, and as soon as they walked out, the bad emotions that Ciri still had were all gone.
"The beast is really not covered, we haven't seen the real body yet, we can suffer such an attack, if it is really face to face, some will fight. ”
"Are you alright?" Rafis was worried that Ciri hadn't completely cleared the attack just now, and was afraid that he would have any bad emotions that would affect the battle later.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I don't have those thoughts right now, okay, I don't think we have much time, the Nightmare Beast should already know that we escaped, and before it is fully discovered, let's think about how to deal with it." ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"First of all, we need to know what that circle was just now?"
"The Circle of Chaos, a circle that can change mentality and beliefs, as soon as you enter it, you can immediately turn a person who originally retained strong beliefs into a decadent, self-destructive walking corpse, I have heard this mentioned by Lord Tethys. ”
"Is there any way to deal with this?"
"As long as you don't get caught by the words and symbols in the circle, the weakness in your heart and touch your senses, so that you can avoid the attack, in fact, we should now analyze the information of the Nightmare Beast, as long as we defeat it, then this magic circle will be self-defeating. ”
"Seriously, it's the first time I've heard this name, I don't know much about it, Rafis, you know what?"
"Nightmare - When a person dies in a state of great anger, hatred and fear, the resentment persists after death, some of the strong resentment can become powerful ghosts, while others can turn into "evil nightmares". There is a saying that there are nine demons and one nightmare in the human world, which means that nine demons can be generated in the world, and one nightmare may not be formed, and the ferocity of the nine demons is not as strong as one nightmare. The reason why the nightmare is difficult to form is mainly because it requires harsh external conditions to generate, first of all, it must be a large-scale tragic death of personnel to ensure that enough resentment is condensed, and the body of the deceased must be preserved as it is, without decay and drying, and without other treatment, the evil spirit can attach to his body to form a nightmare. In the past, only places that had been subjected to massacres or plagues, and had been desolate for many years, could form nightmares. There is also a theory that after the death of a person, the soul of the person who does not remember that he has died, the person with heavy yin qi can see it, and there is no shadow under the light. ”
In other words, the nightmare is disembodied, just a collection of resentments. ”
"Yes, so if we want to defeat the Nightmare Beast, we must resolve the resentment that gathers it, and if the resentment and necromancy are completely absorbed, the Nightmare Beast will appear, and we will not be able to deal with it at that time. ”
"And how do we know where these dead spirits and grudges are?"
"Since this is what the Nightmare Beast is called, the Dream Beast, then I think we need to go to the dream realm to find these resentments and necromancy. ”
"Do you want us to dream?"
Rafis couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ciri say something like this.
"What are you laughing at?" but Ciri was puzzled by Rafis's laughter.
"Laugh at your cuteness, it's not that we want to dream, it's that we want to go to the dream realm, or to enter the dream of the monster here. ”
"Into the Nightmare Beast's dream?"
"Yes, it's not that the Nightmare Beast hasn't appeared, it's that it's still asleep, and if it waits until the dead spirits in the dream are fully formed, it will really wake up, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time. ”
"Then how do you get in. ”
"Look at me. After speaking, Rafis closed his eyes, opened his arms, and kept reciting incantations that Ciri couldn't understand, and these spells were the language of the ancient chaos period (that is, the period before the gods wanted to create the heavenly realm), and the language and words of that period had strong mana, Ciri saw Rafis exert his ability for the first time, and immediately felt that the beautiful girl in front of him might have more powerful abilities than he saw.
When Rafis's incantation was finished, a huge, indescribable-looking monster appeared in front of Ciri's eyes, and he was sleeping soundly.
"This is the Nightmare Beast?"
"Yes, we can't wake it up. Follow me. ”
As he spoke, the two of them slowly approached the Nightmare Beast, not daring to make any noise, for fear of waking it up, and the closer they got there, the more Ciri felt that this Holy Beast was terrifying.
"Alright, we are going to enter its dreams now, remember not to be separated from me when we get inside, because I have just cast a spell so that we will not be detected by the necromancy and resentment in the dream, and you can only be protected by the spell if you are with me, and if they are discovered, then we will never be able to escape from the dream of the Nightmare Beast. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
"Rafis, if we can successfully complete this test, will you teach me to cast spells?"
"As long as we can get out smoothly, I will definitely teach you. After saying that, he smiled sweetly at Ciri, and this smile made Ciri's heart skip a beat.
"Is this the Nightmare Beast's dream?"
"Yes, it seems that we are still relatively smooth. ”
"It's horrible, how could it be such a sight. "It turns out that the scene that appeared in the dream of the Nightmare Beast was full of the smell of death, dry bones and rotting flesh everywhere, and the resentment and death caused by death floating in the sky, in short, it was a picture of hell (the devil would prefer it here).
"Because the nightmare are actually a collection of evil, and these necromancers are all created by those who die with resentment, so here is what they once died. ”
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid, but I want to leave after completing the task, because I'm afraid I don't have any power. ”
When Ciri heard this, she admired this thin and lovely girl even more.
"So how are we going to get rid of these dead spirits and resentments now?"
"Use the 'angelic chant' (angelic chanting - chanting of the holy Spirit to the deceased, to bring the soul of the dead to heaven and remove any resentment from the dead). ”
"How do you know our Celestial Realm skills?"
"There's no time, use Angel Chanting. "Why is there no time, because Rafis sees that more and more necrons have gathered in the sky, and she can also feel that the sleeping feeling of the nightmare beast is getting lighter and lighter, and it may wake up soon, so there is no time to explain Ciri's problem.
"Okay. "Ciri sang the 'Angel Chant' for the first time in front of Rafis, it is said that this Holy Spirit song is very good, and Ciri's voice also surprised Rafis, when Ciri sang the Holy Spirit Song, the originally gloomy sky appeared bright, and the dead spirits and resentments disappeared in the place where the light had been illuminated, and the ground that was still flat just now was full of corpses, the corpses disappeared, and the ground slowly grew with green grass, and after a while the whole world became like heaven, such a scene surprised Rafis.
"That's the power of the 'angel chanting,' and it's amazing. Rafiz felt that the Nightmare Beast had slept very deeply under the influence of the Holy Spirit Song, and would not wake up again.
"Ciri, I think we succeeded, let's get out. ”
"Okay. Angelic chanting still drains the caster's energy, so Ciri still looks tired, and with Rafis's support, the two of them successfully leave the Nightmare Beast's dream.
"Congratulations, you have passed the test, and now I will take you to a safe place and rest for a while. It turned out that the mountain elves did not leave, but carefully observed Rafez and them.
"We've passed the test?"
"Yes, this test is to let the Nightmare Beast sleep forever, and what you just did has found the factors that formed the Nightmare Beast and completely eliminated these dangerous factors, so it will not wake up again, and you have passed the test. ”
Rafis and Ciri passed without a hitch, but will the rest of the people do the same? Which group will fight the Sacred Beast next? Please look forward to the eightieth battle - the unreachable thoughts
