Chapter 1025: 0622 The Pure-Blooded Leon

~7 min read 1,230 words

Watching a group of "nightmares" that had popped out from who knows where and surrounded him in unison, the Nightmare Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, then he said with surprise in his eyes:

"Are you... humans?"

"Go to hell!"

Without any intention of talking nonsense with the Nightmare Leon, upholding the fine tradition of the Cleaning Bureau of acting first and talking later, the cleaners didn't say a word and directly grabbed their gear to rush... to start releasing anomalous items.

The Horned Man, who had once been Leon's desk mate, roared, then his body size suddenly expanded more than tenfold, and then, bearing a mess of effects, he took the lead and rushed toward the Nightmare Leon.

The Nightmare Leon's legs had turned into stone at some point, countless white feathers drifted down from above, locking onto all the positions where the Nightmare Leon could move, and a sickle blade full of rust marks had already gently and bloodily dissected his throat.

Cleaning Bureau cleaners? Why would cleaners come to the Fallen Soul Black Abyss?

After his neck was directly cut open halfway by the sickle, the Nightmare Leon, who was "Leon-ing" his head, frowned, and the mirror crown on his head flickered slightly.

Immediately after, the Horned Man, who had already rushed halfway, stalled, fell forward with a face full of fear, then closed his eyes tightly and began to struggle frantically in the pitch-black river water.

"Don't! Don't! You can't eat me!"

At the same time, the other cleaners who were launching attacks were also instantly dragged into their own nightmares amidst the flickering of the mirror crown, falling to the ground one after another, screaming and waving their hands and feet.

"Run! Leon is going crazy again!"

"Director, I was wrong! I shouldn't have come!"

"Help! Leon is eating people!!!"

Under the Nightmare Leon's casual counterattack, the offensive of the four hundred-plus cleaners collapsed in the blink of an eye. Except for two Level 1 cleaners, the entire army was wiped out.

And after blocking the nightmare forcibly imposed by the mirror crown, the offensive of Abigail and the other became increasingly fierce. The ubiquitous rusted sickle blades drilled out and back into the Nightmare Leon's skin, like fish swimming freely in his flesh and blood, cutting the Nightmare Leon's body until it was covered in wounds.

At the same time, not a single drop of blood flowed from the Nightmare Leon's cut-covered body. Instead, like a torn feather pillow, a large amount of tiny white down exploded, interfering with the gray mist entwined around him, making a fierce sound like boiling oil entering water...

Just this?

Glancing at the abnormalities appearing on his body, the Nightmare Leon didn't even bother to make an expression. He grabbed the gray mist covering his body and flicked it lightly as if shaking off dust.

Poof!

The gray mist that had loosely surrounded him suddenly solidified, actually turning into a gray robe, and those hideous wounds that reached the bone were like dust falling on clothes, directly flicked off by the Nightmare Leon, turning into pieces of tiny shattered nightmares, falling into the Nightmare River below with a rustling sound.

"Boring."

After giving the full-force attack of the two Level 1 cleaners a not-so-great evaluation, the Nightmare Leon squinted his eyes and warned:

"Listen well, although I haven't obtained the full 【Nightmare】 authority yet, I have already crossed the boundary between human and god. You are not people I can be provoked by. Similarly, I am not prepared to provoke the Cleaning Bureau and cause trouble for myself.

So I am willing to give you one chance. No matter how you got here, as long as you roll out of my territory immediately, I can spare you... Bastard!"

Hearing only an angry roar, seemingly having discovered something wrong, the Nightmare Leon hurriedly retreated.

However, a silver arm holding a small knife still suddenly reached out from the blade of the sickle, cut the crown on his head in half, and then, before he could react, grabbed the severed half of the crown and disappeared into the mirror-like blade.

Sure enough, a sneak attack is still necessary!

With the help of the extreme speed effect of the 【Minoshir Mercury Curse】, after destroying the crown on the Nightmare Leon's head with one strike, Leon, whose half body was plated with 【Mercury Curse】, felt his expression relax slightly.

During the time the Nightmare Leon was talking nonsense with the Scarecrow Nightmare, the cleaners naturally wouldn't just stand there doing nothing. Instead, they immediately took the opportunity to quickly hold a pre-battle meeting, preparing to kill this nightmare that had already 7/8 ascended to godhood. And the strike that just severed the mirror crown was the greatest achievement of this short meeting.

Leon's memory of the effect of this mirror crown on the Nightmare Leon's head was profound. It was precisely the nightmare imposed by this crown that made him destroy half the dream world in a fit of rage, and even after knowing it was a non-existent nightmare, it still made him feel down for a long time.

Now that there was a chance to destroy one of the Nightmare Leon's "special weapons" through a sneak attack, Leon naturally chose the crown that had a grudge against him. And after getting rid of this crown capable of "forced area-wide nightmare entry," the cleaners who would have been killed in an instant now had a chance to display their respective abilities...

"Abigail!"

Seeing that the "Crown-Severing" plan was successful, Mason, who had created the opportunity for Leon with his sickle blade, was overjoyed. And before he could urge her, a clear, eunuch-like singing voice had already come from Abigail's hiding spot.

"Don't eat me! I... eh?"

"The Director will avenge me! You... hm?"

"I even peed my pants and you still eat? You really aren't picky... ah!!"

The mirror crown was shattered, and the singing voice that calmed the mind spread. The cleaners who had previously been dragged into the nightmare woke up one after another, shaking off the nightmare of being frantically chased by Leon.

As for the Nightmare Leon, who witnessed all this, the expression on his face instantly became a mix of emotions. Anger, unwillingness, surprise, shock... all sorts of complex emotions flashed across his face in turn.

And just as his expression gradually turned into boundless rage, preparing to risk the retaliation of the Cleaning Bureau to make these damn humans pay, a figure he was incredibly familiar with suddenly lifted a strange curtain that didn't exist and appeared in the Nightmare Leon's field of vision.

"You've already lost!"

Just as Leon was secretly gesturing to the other cleaners, preparing to take advantage of the time to say a few scene words and let them release a few more curses, the Nightmare Leon, upon seeing him, suddenly shook all over, then turned and ran without hesitation!

Can't fight! Goodbye!

Ah?!!!

Watching himself, who had clearly been arrogant just a moment ago, now running away without even leaving a ruthless word, Leon couldn't help but look awkward.

This damn... one can only say that it's worthy of being me. Apart from anything else, this tactical style of immediately making a strategic retreat whenever discovering the situation is wrong is something he has truly mastered. ===== CHAPTER 1026 =====
