Chapter 323 Because He Exercised in Advance
After nightfall, the Eternal Nightmare followers sat on the ground with their eyes closed.
"Are you sure your plan is effective?" Rocky looked at the cultists in front of him suspiciously and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"
"Of course, Bishop Loki, please believe us, he is not as scary as you think." Fenris said, "As long as you do what we say, with your strength, you will be able to defeat him the first time he sees you."
"It's easy to say, but your best troops all died in unclear circumstances." Rocky was very cautious, "Either you are too weak, or you are trying to trick me."
Right now, delegations from the two major churches, Rhine and Evernight, are gathering in a remote corner of the town of Dela, preparing to hunt down the forbidden scholar Edwin.
The main force of this hunt is Loki, and the Church of Eternal Nightmare provides assistance.
But Rocky was still very cautious about personally charging into battle. He didn't want the boat to capsize before reaching Wuming Town.
"The defeat of the Nightmare Servant was indeed somewhat unexpected to me, I do not deny that." Fenris said, "But considering what he possesses, it is not impossible to defeat the Nightmare Servant."
"Are you talking about the forbidden knowledge?" Loki looked into Fenris' eyes and said sarcastically, "Do you think he stuffed the forbidden knowledge into the heads of your elite troops, and then made their heads explode with a 'boom'?"
Fenris didn't care about Rocky's sarcasm, and even nodded slightly, saying: "This is indeed the most direct method."
"Damn, knowledge really is power."
"Yes, Bishop Lodge, knowledge has always been power. Forbidden knowledge is forbidden power, I'm glad you understand that."
"Who the hell told you that?! What I meant is that if that guy can stuff that forbidden knowledge into the heads of your elite troops, then why can't he stuff it into my head?" Rocky tapped his temple with his hand, "I don't want my head to explode for no reason!"
"You can rest assured about this." Fenris said calmly, "The forbidden knowledge is just a piece of information, not an indestructible blade. Spiritual attacks can naturally be intercepted by spiritual means, and no one is better than us, the Apostles of Eternal Nightmare, in this regard."
"Your words are totally unconvincing after your so-called elite troops were wiped out," Rocky said. "If it's so effective, why don't you protect yourselves?"
"It's simple. After we put on the protection, we will lose our combat effectiveness." Fenris said, "All our means of attack come from our spirit and dreams. After these two points are blocked, we are just ordinary people... No, we are even weaker than ordinary people. As you can see, due to being immersed in dreams for a long time, our bodies have already degenerated to a certain extent."
Indeed, compared with the tall and mighty Rhine Knights on Loki's side, the Apostles of Eternal Nightmare really looked like a group of old, weak and sick people who were not getting enough food. Even Fenris, who had the highest status, looked so thin that he was almost unrecognizable.
"If you lose your spirit and dreams, you will have no fighting power..." Rocky was still suspicious, "Then shouldn't it be the same for Edwin? Can't you just block everything and go up to capture him? Why did he still escape?"
"Because that guy made sufficient preparations to escape smoothly, we were unable to stop him."
"What do you mean by adequate preparation? You guys really haven't told me something..."
"He trained for half a year in advance," Fenris said calmly, "and even ate, slept, and defecated on time every day. In the end, he developed a strong physique. So when he was escaping in reality, our people couldn't beat him at all."
Rocky: “…”
"That's why we need your help." Fenris said seriously, "We can't train for half a year just to catch him. It will be too late. But if it's you, there will be no problem. Especially you, Bishop Loki. Your muscles are much bigger than his. I believe he is definitely not your opponent."
Rocky didn't know what expression to show for a moment. He couldn't help but ask, "In other words, suppose there is a strong man who can completely block dreams and spirits, holding two swords, and can kill all of you Eternal Nightmare Apostles?"
"In theory, there is such a possibility, but in reality it is zero." Fenris said calmly, "Because we have the means to block dreams and spirits, and even we can't block them completely. As long as a person has a brain, even if he is mentally retarded, we can still kill him in his sleep in ten thousand ways. If we didn't have this method, how could we have survived until now?"
Rocky thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the case.
"So what are you going to do?" Rocky was still very cautious. "Don't think I didn't hear you. You just said that even you can't completely block out dreams. So there is still a possibility that he can make my head explode?"
"It would be possible in other places, but not here." Fenris spread his hands, with the lights of the town gradually fading behind him. "There is a whole town of dreams here."
"What do you mean?"
"We chose to act at night because of the dreams of the residents of this town," Fenris said. "We will cast a compensation spell to transfer all his mental attacks on you to the dreams of the residents of this town, including the forbidden knowledge."
"...Is it possible?" Rocky was a little surprised, "Then what will happen to the people whose knowledge is transferred...Okay, I think I asked a nonsense question."
"They will return to the Lord's arms." Fenris said lightly, "And you, until all the dreamers die tonight, you will not be affected by any dream. I think this long time is enough for you to kill that guy countless times."
"Only if you can find him."
"Of course, this is not difficult." Fenris said with a smile, "Because he obviously has the same idea as us, wanting to use the dreams of these residents to complete his forbidden research, so when he starts, we will naturally be able to find it... Oh?"
Halfway through his speech, Fenris narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled.
"It has been found."
The moment Fenris finished speaking, the Eternal Nightmare followers behind him raised their hands at the same time, as if they were going to hug something.
And Fenris stood between them and stretched out his hand.
Then, Loki saw strange rays of light overflowing from the bodies of these Eternal Nightmare followers, and finally gathered in the palm of Fenris, and then Fenris handed it in front of Loki.
"Please use it, Bishop Lodge."
"Before you ask, can you tell me how to use this thing?" As an orthodox bishop, Rocky was wary of everything about the cultists. "Can you at least tell me what this thing is?"
"This is the 'Dream of All Living Things', which is the dream of everyone in this town tonight." Fenris said softly, "Put it in your mind, it will lead you to find Edwin, and will also help you block all his dream attacks, including the forbidden knowledge. Don't worry, Bishop Loki, nothing will happen to you until everyone who dreams tonight goes crazy. So you have enough time to find that guy and get rid of him."
Since Fenris had said so much, it was difficult for Loki to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and accept the dream of all living beings, and then put it into his head.
To be honest, this feeling was very strange, as if something was flowing in, cold and making Rocky feel a chill.
But soon, he "saw" some strange pictures.
There were old people holding their children and laughing, there were children looking at the snacks and swallowing their saliva, and there were men holding black bread with a frown on their faces...
After a brief moment of daze, Rocky realized that this was the so-called "dream of all living beings."
"Don't indulge in other people's dreams." Fenris's leisurely voice brought Loki back to reality. "Unless you have received professional training like us, Bishop Loki, you should leave."
Outside of these dreams, Rocky did feel a vague sense of guidance.
That should be Edwin's position.
"You'd better make a quick decision, or don't make too much noise." Fenris reminded, "If you make too much noise, it will disturb these people's dreams. If they all wake up, the dream of all living things will end. Of course, when dealing with a scholar who is powerless in reality, you should not make a big noise that wakes up the whole town."
"Don't underestimate me." Rocky snorted coldly and turned to leave. "It may be difficult to capture you alive, but if you just want to kill, I will kill as many of you as I see."
Having confirmed Edwin's fighting ability many times, Rocky simply didn't let his subordinates follow him. After all, if there were too many people, there would naturally be more noise, so he might as well go on the trip by himself.
In this way, after the fight, he can find an excuse and say that he still suffered some mental trauma, so he plans to go to Wuming Town to recuperate.
However, to be on the safe side, Rocky used Rhine's spells to give himself a bunch of mental buffs to prevent those cultists from being unreliable.
So, after walking through half of the town of Della, Rocky came to a remote house.
He could feel that Edwin was among them.
So Rocky snorted coldly, and then, with all his mental resistance, he kicked open the door of the hut.
Sure enough, Edwin was among them.
Loki had seen the portrait of this old man at Fenris's place, so he recognized him at a glance.
He looked so weak and posed no threat at all.
Rocky smiled disdainfully.
But who is the red-haired woman next to him?
Rocky looked at the other party suspiciously and raised his staff.
then,
"boom"!
The white beam of light rising into the sky almost lit up the entire town of Dela, and even the delegations from Yongyan and Rhine, which were halfway outside the town, could be seen clearly.
"Why is there such a big commotion?" Fenris frowned and looked at a Rhine Knight standing next to him, "Does your bishop always act so flamboyantly?"
The Rhine Knight scratched his head.
…
Fuck it!
Fenris, I'm on the morning shift!
Rocky roared in his heart.
What kind of information did this guy give?! What happened to the agreement that Edwin was the only one there?! What happened to the agreement that this guy could only perform mental attacks?!
What's up with this red-haired bitch?!
My fucking mental resistance is maxed out, and you're telling me this guy is a magician?!
Sooner or later, I will let you taste the horror of the Rhine's No. 1 steel gun!
Rocky is now very angry and is about to go berserk because he is in a really miserable state and is covered in wounds.
But this can't be blamed on him, because he really was under a lot of spiritual buffs, and then he ran head-on into Hevinia who was well prepared.
If it was not him who came here, but someone else in the delegation, even Fenris, who had the same status as him, would have been blown to pieces by now, and he would be the only one who could still hold on.
But where on earth did this woman come from? Why did she use...
A pleasant melody sounded in Rocky's ears. He looked at Hevinia in front of him, tapping her staff like a band conductor, and then the space in front of him began to distort.
Rocky's pupils condensed slightly, and he immediately twisted his huge body, making an extremely strange, pretzel-like posture in mid-air.
But this also successfully avoided Hevinia's attack. After a teeth-grinding "click" sound, the space distortion of [Five-tone Magic Cube] was twisted into nothing.
And this also made Rocky certain.
This woman is indeed a performer! But where did she come from? ! Isn't Shengyin dead? !
Could this guy be...
"Tongue?!" He was horrified. "You are the tongue?!"
Tongue, who's that?
Bai Wei?
Hevinia realized that this guy knew something, and it seemed that she would have to pry something out of him later. But not now, Hevinia said nothing and just continued to attack.
But in Rocky's eyes, this was already a tacit agreement.
Damn it, wasn't Tongue in Wuming Town?! How did he get here? And he was ambushing him!
What kind of false information was provided by that damn hand-eye!
Rocky was really angry and felt that the whole world was deceiving him.
Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon? !
Rocky roared, and then gave himself a thumbs up in the blind spot of Hevinia's vision.
【Disturbance】!
Then the power surged out like a tide.
