Southeast of the Dust Bridge, near the Guchila Demon Tree.
Boom——
Several black-robed men shrouded in shadows felt the ground beneath their feet shake, and their forward movements paused as they retreated from the shadowy form that was between reality and illusion.
The middle-aged blond man in the lead seemed to sense something and turned around abruptly. What caught his eye was a spire looming in the void. His eyes were dazed at first, then turned ashen. "Is the Shadowless Demon Tower...open?"
"Commander Jack...what is the Shadowless Demon Tower?"
The other black-robed men behind him looked at the strange situation in the distance, all showing expressions of confusion and ignorance.
According to the information they knew, the largest monster known to lurk near the Dust Bridge was the Guchira Demon Tree, a disillusionment-level monster that connected up to seven layers of nightmares above and below. It pulled a large number of creatures that had fallen into the surface nightmare down, and with its innate ability of infinite proliferation, it locked these fallen creatures in the nightmare forever.
This has resulted in countless ordinary creatures, even plants, being transformed into the strange creatures in this nightmare.
Among the many Disillusionment-level nightmares, the Guchira Demon Tree is the most powerful and the most notorious.
The powerful nightmare that has just appeared near the Dust Bridge is the Green Ring Eye, which has been preliminarily classified as an endless-level nightmare beyond the Disillusionment level.
The endless level has come to symbolize an endless nightmare.
But what is the Shadowless Demon Tower that the commander is talking about now? It seems to have never appeared in the information provided by the parliament.
"You don't have sufficient authority, so naturally you don't know about the Shadowless Demon Tower. Furthermore, even though I've looked through information about the Demon Tower, I always thought it was just a legend." Commander Jack didn't turn back after hearing his subordinates' questions, simply watching the spire gradually fall from nothingness into reality. "In legend, the Shadowless Demon Tower isn't so much a tower as it is a connection of nightmares. From the highest level, you can pass through layers of nightmares all the way down to the nightmare gate at the bottom. But among these nightmares guarding the Demon Tower, there are many Disillusionment-level nightmares, and even Endless-level nightmares that once polluted the Great Knuckles Plains, the Shadowless Corpses known as the Endless Sea of Bones."
"People like us with such low true vision cannot even see the existence of the Shadowless Corpse."
True sight!
Not every nightmare monster is visible to the naked eye. Some that are powerful enough are hidden deep in the nightmare. Only the undead-level strongmen who have opened the true vision can see the true side of the nightmare.
Over the long years, in order to distinguish the strength and degree of danger of nightmares, the Parliament has divided humans and monsters into six levels: Shining Truth, Shapeshifting, Inanimate, Undead, Disillusionment, and Endless.
The Lifeless Class is already the backbone of humanity, belonging to the elite class that fights against nightmares. Commander Jack is at this level, while the Undead Class are generals in charge of a region in the army, and the Disillusionment Class can even become upper-level senators who lead the future of mankind.
As for the Infinite level...
During the long time in this ruined world, there are only a handful of humans who have been promoted to the Endless level, and all of them have been recorded in history as the key points that changed the destiny of mankind.
According to legend, the Shadowless Demon Tower connects the upper and lower levels of nightmares, and even hides the secret of being able to wake up from nightmares. More importantly, there are countless horrific nightmares lurking there.
The most powerful one is the endless ocean of bones and the invisible corpses.
But the next moment, the expressions of several black-robed men present changed drastically, because in their eyes, the Shadowless Demon Tower was not only visible to the naked eye, but it even began to break apart.
Layer by layer, from top to bottom, like a broken scroll, it gradually began to collapse.
"How could this happen..." Commander Jack's expression became extremely horrified. If it weren't for the military order in his hand, he would have even wanted to take his men and leave immediately. "This Shadowless Demon Tower is actually collapsing... collapsing?"
Could it be that the invisible corpse in the legend is about to come out from inside?
No...it's not just the invisible corpses. If the recorded legends are not too inaccurate, there will be a large number of disillusionment-level nightmares pouring out.
The changes in the Dust Bridge and the appearance of the Green Ring Eye have dealt a severe blow to the two major capitals on both sides of the bridge.
If a large number of nightmares that have been sealed since ancient times emerge again, the cities that humans have built with great difficulty will be destroyed in an instant.
The Shadowless Demon Tower collapsed very quickly. While Commander Jack was still hesitating, it had completely collapsed and disappeared. Then a slight sound was heard in the void, and a portal was revealed at the bottom of the collapse. A small figure rolled out from it.
Commander Jack's expression changed. "Oh no! The nightmare monster is coming out! Al, tear up the phantom scroll and leave here. Report the information...report...Hmm? It's not a monster, it's a human?!"
He paused for a moment, then spoke with an unimaginable sense of doubt.
Commander Jack and the people around him even thought they were seeing things. What rolled out were not grotesque nightmare creatures, but humans with two eyes, a nose and a mouth, just like them.
It's a human being with no extra parts!
"Ouch..."
Xu Xianxian lay on the ground for a long time before she slowly stood up, holding her waist. She really miscalculated. She didn't expect that the self-detonation of the last body of the Shadowless Dead Corpse could produce such a great power, which actually caused a chain reaction in the entire magic tower, causing her to almost be dragged into the broken nightmare.
If you can't win, just self-destruct. Isn't this move too shameless?
'This is my awakening and my liberation.'
This is what the corpse said when it self-destructed, but it was not in the form of a monster, but an ordinary brown-haired human holding a briefcase.
Just like an office worker.
"It seems that the Shadowless Corpse isn't a natural nightmare monster, but rather a creature transformed by human contamination? Which throne is the source of this nightmare..."
Just as Xu Xianxian was thinking, she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps beside her, which made her subconsciously look up, and she saw several men in black robes standing not far away.
He is dressed very strangely, a bit like a witch doctor on Earth, and doesn't seem like a good person.
Well...there is nothing normal in this nightmare world. There are only monsters. Even humans are just monsters in human skin.
All of them have bad intentions.
Those with bad intentions must be killed.
Xu Xianxian touched it in her arms. Her small axe had been broken into many pieces when she chopped off more than ninety bodies of the Shadowless Corpse, but after the forced upgrade of her talent, these holes were repaired, so it should be no problem to continue chopping off the black-robed villain in front of her.
But before she could do anything, the black-robed man leading the opposite party spoke cautiously.
"Who are you...? Human or monster?"
The language the other party spoke was understandable. It was similar to the language left by the Spirit Singer, except for some slight differences in grammar.
Xu Xianxian's small axe paused slightly and did not immediately spin and chop out.
