American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 449 Three against one, and they got counter-killed! Do you guys even know how to play?
Santa Monica Beach, Los Angeles.

The fact that nearly fifty people successfully regained consciousness suddenly brought the quiet beach to life.

FEA quickly learned that Roy had released these people in the dream world, but now there was an even bigger problem: how to keep these awakened people a secret.

If it's just a few people, it's easy for the FEA to keep their information confidential; they just need to sign a confidentiality agreement.

But there are more than forty people now, and who knows how many more will wake up later, which will be a lot of trouble.

Gerald felt that he might lose all of his hair.

Fortunately, the FEA has prepared several contingency plans, but it is unknown how many of them will be effective.

However, what is happening on Santa Monica Beach right now is being observed by a man standing atop the Ferris wheel.

"Roy Black, let's see what you're going to do!"

Suddenly, the man heard a woman's voice.

"Beelzebub, what trick are you playing now?"

Upon hearing this, Beelzebub revealed a strange smile.

"Lord Belial, you really do care about Roy Black!"

Elizabeth sighed, feigning nonchalance.

"It's not so much concern, but I've placed a huge bet on him. I can't let him die before I recoup my investment."

Although that's what Elizabeth said, Hannibal knew that given the Sloth King's personality, most people wouldn't care even if they placed a huge bet.

It's clear that Roy holds a special place in Elizabeth's heart.

Hannibal's mind raced, and he quickly devised a way to deal with Elizabeth.

“Those three guys found me a few days ago.”

The reason he didn't say the name directly was mainly because he didn't want to be detected, but Elizabeth still guessed who Hannibal was talking about immediately.

Besides Mammon, Samael has Leviathan, but no one else.

"Oh? So what do they want from you?"

"To be honest, they want to recruit me."

"Then did you agree?"

"of course not."

Elizabeth used her abilities to determine that Hannibal was not lying.

"Then why did you pull this stunt?"

"I refused them, and they made a demand that I deal with someone, or they would cause me trouble. Lord Belial, what do you suggest I choose?"

This choice is beyond doubt. How could a demon possibly sacrifice himself for others? Given the choice of sacrificing his fellow cultivators, he would certainly not choose to sacrifice himself.

"So you orchestrated this whole thing?"

"It wasn't really my design. I just took a few souls from someone, resurrected them, and enhanced their power. Lord Belial, I just wanted to see if Roy Black was worth betting on. You won't misunderstand me, will you?"

Hannibal looked at Elizabeth with a smile, which, in a way, was practically a request to join the group.

Last time, in Hannibal's apartment, Elizabeth tried to invite Hannibal to join her side.

However, Hannibal did not agree immediately at that time, only saying that he needed to consider it for a few days.

"Hehe, of course I wouldn't misunderstand. But if anything happens to Roy, don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

Elizabeth had a kind smile on her face, but her words made Hannibal break out in a cold sweat, and his smile froze.

Hannibal couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this not considered caring?"
"Are you thinking of something disrespectful?"

"Ahem! No, no! Lord Belial, the situation is still under my control, Mr. Black will be fine!"

Elizabeth smiled and nodded.

"Really? Then I'll be relieved."

The Sloth King cast her gaze upon Santa Monica Beach, her eyes seemingly piercing through the real world and directly seeing the scene in the dream world.

At this moment, Roy was already locked in combat with Michael Miles, Leatherface, and Jason.

At first, Roy thought he could finish the battle quickly, but after fighting for a while, he found that things were not so simple.

Because it's a dream world, Roy can't use many of his skills, including Blood Rage, War Domain, and other status skills.

You can't transform into a demon or ghost wolf form to increase your stats, and you can't even bring in weapons.

In this way, Roy was unable to out-damage the three killers in terms of stats and equipment.

Actually, Roy has another option to quickly eliminate his opponent: transform into his angel form.

When Roy killed Freddy, he didn't have the ability to transform into an angel. He probably didn't know that Roy could become an angel, otherwise he wouldn't have been so arrogant.

However, once Roy transforms into an angel and kills the three murderers, Freddy will definitely run away, making it more difficult to catch him then.

This guy can survive entirely in the dream world; the ghost wolf's sense of smell and the hound's ring have no effect on him.

No! We can't keep fighting like this!

All four of them are incredibly physically strong; they could fight like this forever.

After barely dodging Leatherface's chainsaw with boxing-style sliding steps and swinging techniques, Roy quickly distanced himself from the three killers.

Then, Roy activated his Nightmare ability, creating a weapon for himself—a chainsaw sword he hadn't used in a long time.

Why use a chainsaw sword?
That's because Roy possesses the Sawyer family's chainsaw-using skills.

Although the Executioner's Blade and Leviathan's Axe have higher stats, Roy has never learned any related combat skills. His battles are basically all about brute force, without any diligence or effort; it's all about stats.

Moreover, the weapons created in the dream world are only the same in appearance, and their attributes are definitely not as good as the original.

The chainsaw sword was actually Roy's best weapon, accompanying him through the period before his stats completely exploded.

Today, Roy picked up his chainsaw sword again, ready to use it to deal with the three major serial killers in front of him.

With the familiar grip, the familiar chain and serrations, Roy felt as if the chainsaw was an extension of his arm when he held it.

Roy pressed the button, and the motor started spinning wildly, the chainsaw rubbing against the air and making a piercing roar.

"That's what it feels like!"

Michael Miles, wielding a fruit knife, attacked Roy, but Roy easily parried with his chainsaw sword. The chainsaw sword continued its momentum and struck Roy's arm.

However, the chainsaw sword did not cause much damage, only leaving a small cut on Michael Myers' arm.

This guy's defensive capabilities are truly impressive!
At that moment, Leatherface raised his chainsaw and brought it down on Roy's head. Roy quickly drew his chainsaw sword to parry, and the collision between the chainsaw and the sword caused the chains of the two weapons to jam.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jason swung his machete horizontally at Roy's body.

Left with no other option, Roy could only retreat, dodging Jason's cleaver. These three killers weren't particularly fast attackers; Roy could easily handle them in a one-on-one fight. The problem was their coordinated, sequential attacks, making it difficult for Roy to defend himself.

Roy is now in a situation similar to Lu Bu being besieged by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Although he is stronger than his opponent in one-on-one combat, his opponent lacks martial ethics.

We need to find a way to solve one of them first!
Of the three, Leatherface is probably the weakest.

In the movie, Leatherface is just a physically stronger deformed man, unlike Michael Myers who is possessed by an evil spirit, or Jason who is a ghost.

Secondly, there's Michael Myers, whose record and skill level are somewhat inferior to Jason's.

Jason, the anti-prostitution pioneer, is a tough guy who fought his way from Crystal Lake to New York and even went to space.

So Roy set his sights on Leatherface.

At this moment, under the siege of the three murderers, Roy had retreated to the wall. He seized the opportunity during a gap in their attack, kicked off the wall, and jumped over their heads.

Then, Roy suddenly slashed Leatherface's neck from behind with his chainsaw sword.

A large amount of blood gushed from the wound on Leatherface's neck, but the chainsaw sword failed to cut through the wound directly. Moreover, due to the attacks from Michael and Jason, Roy was forced to let go and release the chainsaw sword.

However, Leatherface was also seriously injured and is temporarily unable to attack Roy.

Now Roy only needs to deal with Michael and Jason.

Michael's weapon was a fruit knife, which had a very short attack range and area. Roy ignored him and charged straight at Jason.

After dodging Jason's attack, Roy immediately ripped off his hockey mask and threw it away, exposing his deformed appearance to all the spectators.

Jason was very self-conscious about his appearance and immediately covered his face to retrieve his mask.

In this way, Roy's only opponent is Michael.

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law!"

Roy instantly entered the state of Fear Incarnation. This ability is purely a mental ability, so it can be used in dreams.

Roy's body turned into a pitch-black shadow, instantly plunging everyone who looked directly at him into a terrifying hallucination.

The reactions from ordinary people in the audience were particularly strong, but thankfully Freddy had restrained them all, otherwise things would have definitely gone wrong.

Michael, who was closest to the victim, was gripped by a deep-seated fear.

That was during Michael's childhood. Due to a special genetic condition inherited from his family, he could see all sorts of terrifying ghosts every day.

These nightmarish experiences caused Michael to lose his mind and be possessed by an evil spirit, leading him to kill his parents and sister.

When Michael regained his sanity, he had completely gone insane, becoming a serial killer who would go around killing people every Halloween.

"look into my eyes!"

Roy, in his fear-incarnated form, stretched out his dark arm, grabbed Michael by the neck, and lifted him up.

"what--"

Unexpectedly, Michael, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a scream like a child.

Then, Roy felt something was wrong, because some kind of energy was flowing into his body along his arm.

It's fear!
Roy actually pulled the fear out of Michael!
Michael's power was also drained away, and his condition visibly weakened, with his physical abilities greatly reduced.

And so, Roy easily finished off Michael with a right twist of his neck.

Upon breaking free from the illusion and seeing this situation, Freddy immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Idiots! You couldn't even beat one of us in a three-on-one fight, and you even got one of yourselves killed! Do you guys even know how to play?!"

Freddy wished he could jump into the arena and fight alongside the others, but that was obviously impossible; he was always a bully who preyed on the weak and only dared to talk the talk.

After breaking free from the terrifying illusion, Leatherface removed the chainsaw sword from his neck and charged at Roy, wielding both a chainsaw and the sword.

However, Roy used his mutated Fear Avatar arm to slap him to the ground.

Roy had no idea that the power of the Fear Incarnation in the dream world would be so great; if he had known, he would have activated it from the beginning.

Meanwhile, Jason, who had just picked up his hockey mask and put it back on, also returned.

As an undead, Jason is highly resistant to mental attacks, but just like Michael, Roy immediately absorbed Jason's fear and power after grabbing him.

At this point, Roy's strength and constitution in the dream world should have already exceeded 200, after all, he absorbed the attributes of two numerical monsters.

Immediately, the entire dream world began to shake, and the ground began to crack layer by layer.

Freddie's expression suddenly turned very ugly as he saw the changes in the dream world.

"Damn it, that thing is coming out!"

That thing? What is that thing?
Roy had actually been keeping an eye on Freddy's situation, and he immediately found this very strange.

But at this moment, the straightforward brother-in-law, Leatherface, got up again and rushed towards Roy. Roy had no choice but to suppress him and absorb all the fear and power from his body.

Now, the entire dream world seemed to boil over.

Roy noticed that the sky was beginning to peel away piece by piece, revealing patches of dark emptiness.

This situation is very similar to the collapse of a dream world.

The problem is that this dream world is composed of the dreams of thousands of people, and the space is vast and very stable.

Even if there are two hundred fewer people, there are still eight hundred people in the dream; it's impossible for it to turn out like this.

Roy suspected that Freddie was behind it all.

"Freddy, what have you done?!"

As Roy said this, he noticed Freddy trying to escape, but it seemed he had failed.

"Idiots! You should be asking yourselves that question! What the hell did you do to awaken your primal fears?!"

Primal fear?

There was no time to think; the dream world was collapsing faster and faster, and if it continued to collapse, everyone present would fall into endless darkness.

But now they can't leave the dream, not even Freddy and Roy, who both have nightmare abilities.

This dream world seems to be locked down by something.

At the same time, numerous black energy tentacles emerged from those dark voids. These energy tentacles were somewhat similar to Roy's Dark Touch, but even more twisted and profound, inspiring fear from the depths of one's heart.

Roy released his fear avatar and leaped onto the platform to grab Freddy.

"You fucking explain yourself! What is primal fear?!"

Freddie knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to answer Roy honestly.

"Primitive fear is the sum of all human fears and nightmares!"
