Chapter 585: Strength Recovery

Although he had switched to Nightmare Spirit form, Avis did not directly attack the large group of Nightmare Spirits.

He was watching, observing their behavior patterns.

Nightmare spirits can be roughly divided into two types. One is the nightmare spirit that is transformed by the trial-takers who voluntarily choose to embark on the path of nightmare spirits. The other is the entity formed by the dark side power of the land of inheritance.

What Avis is looking for is the aggregation of pure negative energy.

There are actually not many professionals who truly follow the path of nightmare spirits. Among the nightmare spirit group, the number of negative dream aggregates accounts for more than 70%.

These negative energy entities are easy to distinguish from the trial-takers. Their behavior is completely based on instinctive patterns, as if they were carved from the same mold.

They are also the best early food for newly-transferred nightmare spirits. Since they have no intelligence and only act on instinct, professionals who master complex spells can easily trap them.

Soon, Avis locked onto his target.

He did not directly attack the large group of nightmare spirits, but carefully looked for a few lone newborn nightmare spirits to attack.

After switching to the nightmare spirit state, Avis could clearly feel that the suppression from the rules of the inheritance land had become lighter.

If he looked like an ordinary level 10 rabbit before, he is now at least level 40.

With his secret attack, these newly born nightmare spirits, which were only at level 20 or 30, dissipated one after another, and their own power and authority fragments were completely absorbed by Avis under the influence of the rules.

As these fragments of dream authority entered his body, the suppression on Avis was further alleviated, and his own strength was further liberated, instead of relying on secret methods to use his own power as before.

"As expected of a nightmare spirit that grows stronger by devouring its own kind, the speed and pleasure of this power increase is indeed hard to resist."

As his strength recovered, Avis began to speed up his hunting of nightmare spirits.

A large amount of rule fragments and the essence of nightmare spirits' power entered his body, causing his momentum to rise steadily. Even some unconscious nightmare spirits nearby began to instinctively avoid him.

But as he devoured, Avis gradually discovered the biggest problem with the Nightmare Spirit Path.

Relying on this method of devouring its own kind to improve itself, in the early stages, the speed at which the nightmare spirit's strength and authority increased was indeed much faster than that of the trial-taker.

However, as their strength grew to a certain limit, high-level nightmare spirits devoured low-level nightmare spirits and could no longer gain any authority. If they wanted to go further, they could only devour other high-level spirits of the same kind, or kill sufficiently high-level trialists.

The key to the problem lies in the authority of dreams.

Regardless of whether they are trial-takers or nightmare spirits, their ultimate goal is actually to increase the integrity of their authority in the land of inheritance to 100%, to obtain the final inheritance and control over the entire land of inheritance.

However, the improvement of the completeness of authority needs to be accomplished by collecting all the fragments of authority.

These fragments are divided into one hundred pieces in total. The first fifty are white fragments, numbers fifty-one to eighty are blue fragments, eighty-one to ninety-five are purple fragments, and the last ninety-five to one hundred are gold fragments.

The later the fragments are, the more difficult they are to obtain, and these fragments can be obtained repeatedly, but only the first time they are obtained is valid.

As for low-level ordinary nightmare spirits, more than 90% will only carry white authority fragments, and occasionally individuals carrying blue authority fragments will appear.

The more advanced fragments can only be obtained by encroaching on tasks from other worlds and devouring powerful trial-takers.

However, they all hold a lot of power in the dream world, and they are basically unable to do anything to each other. There are fewer high-level trialists, and their own strength is not weaker than other nightmare spirits, which leads to a dead end.

At this level, the trial-taker can continue to improve his strength steadily by completing difficult trials and obtaining rarer fragments.

Therefore, these two paths are actually just the difference between choosing to experience bitterness first and sweetness later, or sweetness first and bitterness later.

After devouring a large number of nightmare spirits, Avis finally stopped.

At this moment, a faint black aura lingered around him. Professionals with strong enough perception could sense the powerful force of death and despair from it.

It is a strange phenomenon formed by the accumulation of a large amount of negative forces that have not had time to be completely absorbed.

And Avis' own power aura has recovered to the seventh level after absorbing so much energy.

Devouring a large number of nightmare spirits in a short period of time will cause a great impact on the professional's spirit. Avis dared to do this because he relied entirely on his own strength to forcibly resist this influence.

After looking around and realizing that there were only low-level nightmare spirits left nearby, Avis left without hesitation and began looking for the locations of those powerful nightmare spirits.

There was no point in continuing to hunt these low-level nightmare spirits. He needed higher-level authority fragments to continue to improve his strength.

At the same time, when he obtained more than 50% of the authority fragments, Avis also found that the exclusive ability of his nightmare spirit form seemed to have been improved again.

"Take me to find the high-level nightmare spirit closest to me."

As Avis thought, a gold-framed floor-length mirror appeared in front of him.

In the smooth mirror, a rabbit in a neatly tailored suit smiled at him, and then the image in the mirror turned into a valley.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the center of the valley, in front of a huge banyan tree with a human face, the figure of a nightmare spirit stood there, seemingly doing something to the giant tree in front of it.

It looks like a middle-aged human male, wearing black magic pattern knight armor, holding a huge sword, and exuding a dark and evil aura.

Avis judged that the other party was most likely a former trial-taker who had transformed into a nightmare spirit.

The nightmare spirits transformed from these trial-takers, because they were once professionals, will act according to their own interests and often exhibit highly independent behavior patterns.

Most importantly, influenced by their past habits, those former trial-takers who took the path of nightmare spirits usually still retained their previous human form after the transformation was completed, but added some characteristics of nightmare spirits.

Judging from the style of his armor, he should have been a professional from the Silver Moon Kingdom of the Itel Kingdom Federation. The transparent holes on his chest indicated that he must have died in a battle.

The nightmare spirit was completely unaware of Avis's observation until a mirror suddenly appeared in the void and Avis walked out of it.

"Who are you?!"

The way Anvis appeared caused the nightmare spirit to be highly alert.

"Stop immediately! Otherwise I will attack immediately!"

Staring at the strange nightmare spirit in front of him in the form of a rabbit wearing a dress, the knight nightmare spirit raised the huge black sword in his hand and vigilantly took a defensive posture.

The relationship between nightmare spirits is not very good. Any one who actively approaches you may be a person with malicious intentions who wants to devour you.

Especially for these creatures that look completely inhuman, you never know what kind of strange abilities they have.

"Don't be nervous, strange nightmare spirit. Tell me, where is the Fourth Nightmare now?"

Looking at the Knight Nightmare Spirit in front of him, Avis smiled.

Future enemies? Unfortunately, he has to strike first now.
