Chapter 1024: 0621 The Last [Nightmare]

So... we were actually late all along?!

Looking at Leon, who was dressed in attire that should have belonged to the Nightmare King and walked out of the Ice Snow City with a smile, everyone outside the city was stunned. The Scarecrow Nightmare, who had personally torn open the Ice Snow City, broke down on the spot and said incoherently:

"You... I... then them?"

"We were clearly almost successful!"

The Swamp King Snake, covered in bite marks, crawled out from the shattered dream and roared with fire in its snake eyes:

"You damn idiot! How dare you let him out?!"

The Green Wave Sea Monster, covered in wounds, also chased out from the shattered dream, its huge body crashing into the Nightmare River, and then said with grief and indignation:

"It's over, this time it's completely over!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and attack!"

The Sand Dune Giant Worm, its body half-withered, crawled out of the dream with violent sand and wind, directly blocking the side of the Nightmare Leon, shouting with fear in its eyes:

"Stop him! He hasn't run away yet, we still have a chance to... ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, a large number of strange black and gold beetles crawled out from the Sand Dune Giant Worm's body and began to frantically gnaw on the half of its body that hadn't withered yet, causing it to fall to the ground in pain and perform a death roll.

If it weren't for a cold wind carrying a joyful song blowing past, freezing all the crawling beetles in time, the Sand Dune Giant Worm's huge body would probably have been completely gnawed away before long.

"You guys shouldn't get it wrong."

After lowering the finger pointing at the Sand Dune Giant Worm, the Nightmare Leon blinked his black and gold pupils, which were the same color as the beetle shells, and spoke unhurriedly:

"The reason I'm not running isn't because I can't run, but because there's simply no need to.

From the moment I opened my eyes, I, Leon Laien, the Dream World Destroyer born from the fear of the entire dream world, am the strongest nightmare in the entire Fallen Soul Black Abyss.

Even if I do nothing now, the 【Nightmare】 authority held by you few will naturally flow to me, flow to the only nightmare in the hearts of all dream world creatures that represents supreme fear!"

"..."

Not a buddy... why are you putting on an act?

Watching the Nightmare Leon in the distance, who raised his head, closed his eyes, spread his arms, stood proudly in the wind, and struck a pose of "I am the King of the World," the real Leon felt extremely awkward, his toes in his shoes wanting to scratch out sparks.

Watching someone else wearing his face and body, dressed in flashy attire, carrying the confidence to defy heaven and earth, and saying ruthless words with maximum middle-schooler energy, this experience was truly extremely hard to bear.

It felt like the plan to unify the world that he had secretly written in his homework notebook when he was in elementary school had been publicly announced and executed, a sense of shame like a public execution...

Just as Leon felt a wave of numbness and itching, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and dive straight to the center of the earth, the Scarecrow Nightmare, whose brain had been completely stunned by the sudden situation, finally managed to recover.

Looking at the Nightmare Leon's incredibly familiar attire and the shining mirror crown on his head, the Scarecrow Nightmare couldn't help but be furious, opening its mouth to ask sternly:

"Bastard! On your body... why are you wearing Lord Nightmare King's crown?"

"Hm? You mean this?"

After hearing the Scarecrow Nightmare's words, the Nightmare Leon reached out and touched the mirror crown on his head, then looked up at the Scarecrow, whose eyes couldn't hide his fear, and answered with a smile:

"It is a bit strange. Why would the crown that should have belonged to the Nightmare King appear on my head? Mm... why do you think that is?"

I think it's because... because...

Although he already had some vague guesses in his heart, he really didn't dare to think about that incredibly terrifying answer. Looking at the Nightmare Leon's face, which was smiling extremely wantonly, the Scarecrow Nightmare, whose heart and gall were shattered, couldn't help but roar and control the giant Leon to strike with a fist.

"What happened to Lord Nightmare King! What did you do to him, ah ah ah!"

However, what was strange was that this terrifying heavy punch, gathered from the fear of hundreds of thousands of nightmares and powerful enough to make a True God temporarily retreat, was not even as good as a breeze blowing past Leon's face in front of the Nightmare Leon.

The Scarecrow Nightmare's incredibly grand attack dissipated on its own before it even reached the Nightmare Leon, turning into countless streaks of black smoke of varying density, wailing and desperately fleeing from the Nightmare Leon's side, not even daring to stay for a moment.

And with each futile effort, the giant Leon led by the Scarecrow Nightmare actually began to change its shape, bit by bit moving closer to the Nightmare Leon in front of it.

In the end, the giant Leon even stopped attacking altogether, standing quietly on the surface of the Nightmare River, staring at the Nightmare Leon in front of it, and a strange smile identical to the Nightmare Leon's appeared on its face.

Move! Hurry up and move for me!!!

Seeing that his greatest reliance had lost control and wouldn't react no matter how he urged it, and feeling the desperate pressure in front of him, the Scarecrow Nightmare's body couldn't help but tremble frantically.

And just at this moment, the Nightmare Leon, who hadn't fought back and had just been smiling while watching it resist, suddenly spoke with a smile:

"Not bad, not bad. I admire your loyalty. In return for your loyalty, I'll tell you about the Nightmare King's situation~"

What he meant by that... could it be that Lord Nightmare King is still alive?!

Hearing the Nightmare Leon's words, the Scarecrow Nightmare couldn't help but shake all over, then instinctively looked toward the Nightmare Leon. And in its gaze, which was two parts expectation and eight parts fear, the Nightmare Leon suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up, and he said softly with malice in his eyes:

"Nightmare King... his taste is quite good, it made me very satisfied."

?!!!

Looking at the Nightmare Leon, who was smiling abnormally evilly, and the other seven Nightmare Messengers in the distance who were silent, the last line of defense in the Scarecrow Nightmare's heart was completely broken, and he knelt down with a thud.

The tens of thousands of nightmares that had offered their own fear to condense into the giant Leon also knelt down at the moment he collapsed, looking up with fear in their eyes at the nightmare that had descended into "reality," not daring to have any more strange movements.

It's over.

Feeling the 【Nightmare】 flowing from the tens of thousands of nightmares in front of him and surging toward him continuously, the Nightmare Leon couldn't help but show a joyful expression, then walked slowly to the front of the fallen Scarecrow Nightmare.

"Come."

Extending his right hand toward the fallen Scarecrow Nightmare, the Nightmare Leon said with a smile:

"Their 【Nightmare】 already belonged to me long ago. Now, hand over your 【Nightmare】 too!"

"Don't even think about it!"

After trembling and opening the Nightmare Leon's palm, the Scarecrow Nightmare said with hatred in his eyes:

"Lord Nightmare King... even if you devoured Lord Nightmare King and got all the 【Nightmare】, you are ultimately just a fake! What those people fear is not you, a nightmare born from fear, but that true destroyer!"

"Yes, I am indeed just a fake, a nightmare born from the nightmare of 'Leon destroying the dream world'."

The Nightmare Leon nodded upon hearing this, then asked with a smile:

"But what does that have to do with anything?

Although I am a fake, that true destroyer won't suddenly come to the dream world and fight me for the position of Nightmare Lord, so... hm?" ===== CHAPTER 1025 =====
