Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 386 Assassination of the Nightmare!

Late at night, a motocross motorcycle shone its headlights as it left the Frosty Tundra and entered the Deadwood Forest terrain.

Just as they entered the Deadwood Forest, pink figures appeared in the distance—Chaos Beasts. A large number of Chaos Beasts were patrolling the wilderness, confirming Alice's words.

The Deadwood Forest has been occupied by the Chaos faction, and Nightmare really wants to turn this map into his lair in the material world.

"Stay calm, no one will recognize you."

Alice released a deep blue psionic energy that instantly enveloped my entire body, reshaping my appearance and even altering the contours of my face.

"Could you make my nose higher?" I asked.

"why?"

"Because this makes me look more like Daniel Wu."

Alice did as I said, and I stepped on the gas, driving Alice into the desolate wilderness of the deadwood forest.

Ding Yanzu sets off, heading straight for the heart of the enemy!

……

"Woo~~"

In the distance, a group of Chaos Beasts wandered in the wilderness. They had no legs, only wheels covered with barbs. They moved very fast, and several of them quickly caught up with us, looking at us with shifty eyes.

But they really couldn't figure it out.

"What are you looking at!?"

At this moment, Alice lifted her cloak, revealing a face completely different from before. Her eyes were filled with coldness and shrewdness, and her face was painted with some regular ancient patterns, with two blood lines at the corners of her eyes.

I glanced at her in the rearview mirror, and wow, she actually has a bit of a Sylvanas vibe!

"Woo~~"

Several Chaos Beasts seemed to sense the pressure and showed signs of fear.

"I am a witch who has pledged allegiance to His Highness the Ghoul, all of you get out of my sight!" Alice said fiercely.

Immediately, a group of Chaos Beasts shrank their tails and ran away.

Wow, that's really impressive!

I was dumbfounded. It seems that not only is our team a makeshift operation, but the Chaos faction may also be a makeshift operation in essence!
"drop!"

A message came from Ruolin: "Ding Han, have you started your operation?"

"Yes, I'm already in the Deadwood Forest. The Nightmare's lair is here."

"..."

Ruolin paused for a moment, then said, "Caicai and Koumei are with me. We can meet up anytime. Is there anything we can do for you?"

"It seems we don't need it anymore..."

I smiled faintly and said, "As you know, the strength of the Nightmare is inhuman. I'm only here in the Deadwood Forest to play a supporting role. The one who is truly capable of killing the Nightmare is Alice. You don't need to come. It's too difficult for us mortals to get involved in such a battle of gods."

"Right."

Ruolin smiled and said, "Then good luck! If you defeat the Devourer, let us know the good news as soon as possible."

"There will most likely be an announcement; I won't need to tell you."

"Okay, then I won't sleep. I'll wait for your message!"

"it is good."

In fact, Ruolin seemed a little worried about me, otherwise she wouldn't have kept paying attention to this matter.

Although few people know that Alice and I traveled a great distance together to assassinate the Ghoul, this was a big event, big enough to affect the war between the warp and the material world.

The two overlord-level demon gods in the subspace are unlikely to make a move in the short term, so the strongest enemy humanity currently faces is the five Chaos Demon Lords!
Of course, there's also that gluttonous monster deep within the Earth's core, the Great Devourer that tried to devour the core of its mother star; it's a being comparable to a demon god.

Two hours later, we arrived at the heart of the deadwood forest.

The Pai Temple is where we first encountered our story.

I frowned and glanced around. I saw a dense swarm of Chaos Beasts gathering, coming from all directions. Many of them were howling, but I couldn't understand what they were saying.

On the mountain where the Pai Temple is located, countless laborers from the Chaos faction are engaged in large-scale construction, with a long stone staircase leading upwards, and at the end of the mountain peak stands the throne that the Demon Eater has built for himself.

Behind the throne, thousands of sharp swords stretched outwards, creating a strong sense of déjà vu.

The ghoul's aesthetic sense is pretty good; I'd like to try out this throne, but I wonder if it would prick my butt.

"Put the motorcycle away and go up the mountain."

Alice's voice reached his ears.

So I put away my motorcycle, lifted my cloak to cover my face, and followed Alice with a respectful posture.

The two climbed the steps and arrived at the mountainside.

"Halt!"

Suddenly, a muffled thunderous sound came from above, the night sky turned fiery red, and dozens of meters tall fire giants stood on both sides of the mountain road, their two pairs of blazing red pupils staring straight at the two of us.

This is bad, it's the Flame Demon Commander!

On the Chaos faction's bounty list, the Flame Demon Commander is at the third level, lower than the five Chaos Demon Lords. He is a level 3 commander, and both of them are level 80. Their names are Blood Red, S10, and they are Crimson Void-level BOSSes!

'Damn it...'

Seeing these two bosses standing like guardian deities in front of me, my legs went weak. If they were to fight, one slap from each of them would probably kill me!
"Who are you?!"

One of the fire demon leaders questioned him angrily.

Alice immediately pulled back her hood, revealing a beautiful face that was both wicked and flawlessly perfect.

"I am a warp witch, summoned by His Highness the Ghoul."

"emmm..."

The Balrog leader squatted by the roadside, squinted at him for a while, and said, "You are indeed a warp witch, so who is this kid next to you?"

“He is my servant.” “Servant!”

The Balrog commander turned his gaze over, licked his lips with a magma-filled tongue, and said, "You look delicious."

Delicious my ass! I haven't showered in days!
I didn't say anything, I just lowered my head and pretended to tremble.

"Please, both of you, do not make things difficult for my servants."

Alice said, "I am willing to give everything to Your Highness, the Devourer."

The two fire demon commanders seemed intent on making things difficult, but just then, a cold voice came from the throne above:
"A sacrificial ceremony was performed for her."

"Yes, my lord!"

The Balrog leader turned and bowed, then gestured to Alice to "please."

The next second, something surprising happened.

Alice untied the cloak's sash, and the smooth cloak fell to the ground. She then unbuttoned her coat, took off her skirt, and in the blink of an eye, stood naked in the firelight.

No... is this something I can watch for free?

Was such a huge sacrifice really necessary to kill the Devourer?

However, Alice does have a great figure!

Just then, Alice's voice entered my ears like a mosquito buzzing in.

"Ding Han, stay calm. You make your move after I do. Use the subspace leap slash to subdue the ghoul and give me a chance to kill it with one blow. Remember, we may only have one chance!"

I said to myself, "I understand."

"clever!"

Alice smiled slightly and continued climbing the steps.

……

When she was halfway there, I finally looked up and saw the Chaos Demon Lord sitting on the throne.

Nightmare propped one leg up on the armrest of the throne, reclining in a comfortable position. He held a dagger in his left hand and supported his weight with his right. A gray cloak billowed behind him, extending dozens of feet into the wind.

He didn't even notice me; his gaze kept sweeping over Alice's chest, waist, and other areas.

Logically speaking, since the Nightmare Eater can invade dreams, he can have as many women in the material world as he wants, yet he regards them all as mundane. Only when Alice, the warp witch, appears does he begin to waver!

Shortly after, Alice stopped about ten steps away from the ghoul and bowed respectfully.

"Witch, what treasures have you brought for me?" Nightmare asked calmly.

"The treasure is here."

Alice clasped her hands together, and deep blue psionic energy rapidly surged from her fingertips. The moment her hands parted, a scroll appeared in her palms, which looked rather heavy.

“This is…” Nightmare narrowed his eyes.

"Your Highness, it is the Starry Sky Codex."

"Oh?"

The Demon Eater trembled, seemingly genuinely tempted: "Is it truly the Star Scripture? Present it immediately! If it is indeed the Star Scripture, I will keep you by my side as a maid!"

"Yes, thank you Your Highness!"

Alice slowly stepped forward and came to Nightmare's side, saying, "Your Highness, shall I now show you the Starry Sky Codex?"

Nightmare nodded.

Alice slowly unfurled the scroll, and at the center of the scroll, an irregular object was clearly visible.

no……

Alice, are you kidding me?!

You actually dare to use such an outdated tactic as revealing your true intentions? What are you doing here?

I'm going crazy, staring blankly at the top.

However, Evil Eater seemed like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He had never even heard of the idiom "the dagger is revealed when the map is unrolled," and his entire attention was focused on the Starry Book, his eyes shining with starlight.

When two amateur teams meet, who succeeds is purely a matter of luck...

……

Time ticked by, and as the Starry Sky Manual was about to reach its limit, my heart was in my throat, ready to act at any moment!
"Your Highness, look."

Alice lowered herself slightly, then suddenly gripped the hilt of the dagger with one hand and stabbed it into the heart of the monster with lightning speed!
"Clap!"

Suddenly, a hand appeared and grabbed Alice's wrist!

The demon's expression was ferocious and lewd as he laughed loudly, "You wretch, I saw through your tricks long ago!"

"Shh!"

However, at that very second, a deep blue stream of light burst forth from the upper edge of the Starry Sky Tome. Just as Nightmare was feeling smug, it was guided by a wisp of spiritual energy and "pfft" pierced into Nightmare's left eye, causing blood to splatter everywhere. It looked incredibly painful!

It's now!

My body sank, my gaze locked onto the monster, and I activated the SSS-level skill—Subspace Leap Slash!

The moment he leaped out, a subspace rift appeared in front of him. Then, with another leap, the fiery red power sword in his hand, enveloped in subspace power, pierced into the throat of the monster with a "plop" sound!
"218770!"

Ten times the damage... no, ten times the damage is indeed very powerful!
In an instant, the fierce light in the eyes of the demon dimmed, and it entered a forced 3-second stun.

At the same time, the Sword Soul Resonance is activated!
Each resonance generated a white shockwave that caused immense pain to the surrounding chaotic creatures and inflicted massive area-of-effect damage!

……

"You ghoul, die!"

Alice spread her arms, and strips of cloth emerged from the warp, transforming into a long dress that wrapped around her body. At the same time, a cloud of deep blue lightning gathered and fell, converging in her hand to form a dazzling lightning spear!
I finally understand why she insisted on bringing me along.

Her ultimate skill takes too long to charge up; if she doesn't force a stun, she can't hit the Devourer!
The next second, the lightning spear transformed into a bolt of lightning and pierced into the ghoul's forehead, heading straight for its brainstem!
