Chapter 596 Rules Exclusion

Chapter 596: Rules of Rejection

Noticing Fiona's reaction, Avis sighed.

In fact, Avis also knew that the girl's performance was quite outstanding as she was able to endure her fear and face the Nightmare King whose strength far exceeded her own.

The Nightmare King's power to spread fear comes from its own passive ability and cannot be overcome by sheer will.

And Avis was not afraid of the Nightmare King, because he had seen too many powerful and strange beings, some of whom were stronger than the Nightmare King.

Fear comes from the unknown.

He had faced the Speaker whose state was between the ninth level limit and the legendary level, peeked into the indescribable huge blood-red eye in the sky city, and also faced the human figure with light like the sun in his memory.

After witnessing those supreme beings, facing the passive fear field of the Nightmare Spirit King was naturally not enough to arouse the fear in Avis' heart.

Fiona, who has lived in Moonfall Castle and the family secret realm for a long time, is far less knowledgeable than Avis.

The strongest person she had ever faced was actually Duke Carrot. Even in the actual combat class, the Duke had never shown his full power to her due to her level of strength.

However, everything has two sides. If the girl can find a way to defeat the Nightmare Spirit King, then she will naturally be able to overcome this fear, greatly increase her willpower, and develop resistance to similar situations.

This opportunity to face your own fears is very rare, especially when your side is not without hope of winning.

Elsewhere in the Mysterious Kingdom, the appearance of the Nightmare King caused a chain reaction.

The city of small animal residents is covered by the rule shield and is not greatly affected for the time being, but the outside areas without rule protection have begun to rapidly transform into a nightmare world.

Darkness becomes the main color of the environment, and all kinds of strange dream anomalies emerge in the dark fog.

However, in the nightmare area, those low-level nightmare spirits began to party. They danced wantonly in the dark nightmare fog. Their crazy dancing posture was chilling.

At the same time, in the distance where the Nightmare Spirit King was located, the four nightmares had arrived at some point, but they were standing in relatively dispersed positions, as if they were secretly guarding against each other.

But for some reason, the positions of the three nightmares of darkness, lust, and despair gave a vague feeling that they were surrounding the madness of Theseus.

The arrival of the four nightmares caused the girl's pressure to increase again. The shield covering the entire incredible country seemed unable to withstand the pressure and began to shrink inwards.

Seeing this situation, many trial participants hiding in the mysterious country began to panic.

"What should we do? Should we evacuate this world immediately?"

A participant who looked like a hound but was dressed in a straight aristocratic dress spoke first, intending to test the reactions of others.

Although the city's protective shield is gradually shrinking, it will still take a long time for it to shrink to them, which is enough time for them to discuss a result.

"If you want to leave, please do so, Mr. Dream Ferryman. No one will stop you here. The lesson here is: the hunter will shoot down the bird that takes the lead in taking off."

Duchess Lina gave a sarcastic smile, stretched out her hand to make a 'please' gesture, and habitually found a lesson.

However, the dog noble known as the Dream Ferryman simply smiled, fully demonstrating what it meant to act like a dog.

All the trial participants present knew very well that if they left alone, they would be targeted by the Nightmare Spirit King outside, and the outcome would be certain death.

But resistance was futile. Their combined strength could only barely resist the attack of the Four Nightmares, not to mention the Nightmare Spirit King who was even stronger than the Four Nightmares.

The reason why most trial participants stayed here and did not escape was because they needed a bait, a bait that could attract the Nightmare Spirit King's attention and allow them to escape easily.

Lina, who replaced the 'Duchess', had other plans. Marquis Winter had already come to this world in person, but he did not force his way in because he did not want to attract the attention of the city's rule shield.

At present, he is lurking outside the city, waiting for the moment when the nightmare spirits break into the city so that he can take Fiona away in the chaos.

Under the gazes of all parties with different thoughts, finally, the Nightmare Spirit King took the first action.

From the complex roads of the maze, thick black fog began to surge towards the city, containing an almost materialized and rich power of fear rules, which produced a fierce confrontation with the silver rule shield.

Unlike low-level professionals, ninth-level battles do not have the so-called probing phase. In other words, each of their attacks can be switched between probing and killing at will.

If the shield can hold up for a long time and not be eroded by the nightmare fog, then it will have blocked the Nightmare Spirit King's attempt.

If they fail to hold on, the entire city will be eroded in an instant, and Fiona's power will instantly decline and she will fall into defeat.

Avis looked at the girl who was trying hard to hold on with some concern, while also being alert to other threats from the outside world to avoid any accidents.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Now is not the time to let the three nightmares rebel. Even if he controls three of the four nightmares, after facing the Nightmare Spirit King, Avis can feel that under normal circumstances, even if the three of them attack together, it will be a complete defeat.

Moreover, the camps of those trial participants are not necessarily friendly, and it is possible that someone might try to attack Fiona before escaping.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. You are always the supreme ruler of this dream. As long as your faith is strong enough, even the horrible nightmare will fade away!

'Inspiration', 'Mechanized Mind', 'Iron Will', 'Diman's Motivation'..."

After thinking about it, Avis tried to inspire the girl's courage through words and magic to see if he could break out and fight back.

It cannot be said that there is no effect at all. At least the colorful halo on her body provides Fiona with some psychological comfort and cool light effects.

Since he has no power of rules, simple spells cannot offset the fear rule of the Ninth-level Nightmare Spirit King, and the pocket watch's backtracking cannot work on Fiona, who has higher authority.

Haven't those trialists taken action yet? After sensing the movements and specific discussions of the trialists in the city, Avis shook his head.

If you are timid and don't even dare to take action, how can you hope to obtain the final inheritance? At the same time, he finally waited for the opportunity and launched his plan.

Outside the incredible kingdom, under the mountains and forests that had been transformed into a nightmare land, a huge magic circle suddenly lit up.

It was a conceptualized magic circle formed purely by the power of the world's rules. Even if a ninth-level Nightmare Spirit King wanted to clear it, it would take some effort.

At the same time, with the emergence of these magic arrays, the originally lukewarm rejection reaction of the world rules suddenly became as violent as an enraged mad bull!

This kind of rejection of rules not only comes from the world of Fiona's Dreamland, but even the inheritance land that has swallowed and assimilated this world has begun to reject many nightmare spirits! (End of this chapter)
