Chapter 48: The Curtain

It didn't take long for all the cages in this dungeon to be filled to the brim.

Those tortured prisoners were all stuffed into cages, and each cage was burning with emerald green soul flames.

The wails and screams of torture were heard one after another. Compared with the previous scene, the prison of pain at this moment was more like hell.

After doing all this, William turned around and sent all the rescued phantoms back to the real world.

These phantoms are the mental projections of some unlucky people in this world. They accidentally wandered here while dreaming and were imprisoned, causing them to have nightmares every night in which they were tortured by a gang of sadists.

They are lucky. If this were the rotation year of the Lord of Nightmares, they might even be dragged here.

"Um... Sir William, didn't you say you were here to negotiate?"

The crow messenger looked at the tortured torturers who were set on fire in the cages around him, and asked worriedly.

William had used this soul fire before when interrogating it, and it knew deeply what kind of extreme pain it was.

And now the person in front of me has ignited all the moon monsters here at once. Isn't this a bit...

"Ah, you can rest assured about this. This kind of cage is called a torture cage. As long as the intellectual body locked in it is subjected to painful torture, it will continuously provide strength to Jamala. The key is to be tortured to the extreme.

It doesn’t really matter what you put in it.”

William said as he walked up the spiral staircase.

"Actually, most Kings of Nothingness don't care that much about such details...Okay, you can lead the way."

Even within the realm of the moon, things are changing all the time.

Maybe one second this door leads to a hall, and the next second it leads to a poisonous pool. Except for the King of Nothingness himself who can fully grasp and control the changes in the entire moon realm, and the various demon generals under him can

Apart from controlling their own realms, there are only beings called messengers who can see through the changing patterns of the moon realm and guide people to specific places.

Of course, there is also a simpler and cruder way, which is to kill them all the way. After killing almost all the moon monsters in an area, the portal to the next area will automatically open.

William originally thought that this design that concealed the loading of the map would be rationalized after traveling through time. However, the last time he came to the Moon Realm, he found that it had not changed. Or is this also a reasonable Moon Realm mechanism?

Fortunately, he has a messenger who has met the Lord of Nightmares in person, otherwise he might have to fight all the way to the throne of the Lord of Nightmares, and then tell the other party that he is here for cooperation.

If you do this, let alone cooperate, whether you can escape from the Nightmare Swamp may be a problem.

After all, back then, I brought the entire trial bench to the thrones of the Kings of Nothingness but was unable to get them to show their health bars. Now, more than a thousand years later, the opponent's power has grown a lot differently than in the past, but now I only have the power to show up.

I am left alone.

Outside the door of the dungeon is a withered rice field as far as the eye can see. In the rice fields, there are strange scarecrows with ferocious smiles placed at regular intervals. The lanterns in their hands automatically make a "crunching" sound without wind.

The crow messenger shuddered as he looked at the scarecrows, then he calmed down and turned into a storm of crow feathers and flew in one direction. A pair of wings made purely of light spread out from the position of William's shoulder blades, and he flapped

The wings followed the crow feather storm.

…………

The palace of the Lord of Nightmares is divided into seven areas from the outside to the inside by seven layers of curtains. They respectively symbolize the seven basic forms of nightmares: shame, loss, pursuit, weakness, fall, imprisonment, and death.

Generally speaking, except for the Nightmare Maid who is responsible for delivering the orders of the Nightmare Lord and the seven Demon Generals who correspond to the seven kinds of nightmares, who can enter and leave the palace under orders, all other members of the family are not allowed to approach this place.

For the Lord of Nightmares, the unknown and ambiguity are his most important sources of power. Not only for mortals, but also for the moon monsters under his command, he still needs them to remain fearful of him at all times.

Therefore, any lunar monsters who dare to challenge this rule and try to enter the palace will end up in a very miserable end. Their essence will be torn apart by the Lord of Nightmares himself, embroidered into the curtains of the palace, and tortured by eternal nightmares.

In fact, in order to maintain his sense of mystery, apart from not allowing other lunar monsters to approach his palace, Jumara himself has never left this palace. Even the scene between him and the present world a thousand years ago

During the war, He just finished making his own incarnation and delivered it to the door of the palace with his own hands, and then returned to the deepest part of the palace.

Therefore, in the Nightmare Swamp, many moon-level monsters with high intelligence often open several layers of curtains in the palace to judge the importance of a thing to Ms. Jumara.

Generally speaking, when demons under his command come to visit the Lord of Nightmares, the curtains of the palace will be opened to one level, and Lady Jamara will allow them to report on the outermost layer.

And every thirteen years, when the Lord of Nightmares takes the turn of disaster years, the curtains of the palace will be opened twice, because the Lord of Nightmares can better project his power to the continent of Vic. Of course, if there is someone at this time

If the devil comes to report things, he can only stay at the outermost level.

When messengers from other kings of nothingness arrive, Jumala will open one to four layers of curtains depending on the relationship between the king behind the visiting messenger and him.

So far, the only time all the curtains have been opened was during the war against the human world more than a thousand years ago. Ms. Jamala made her own incarnation, and then opened the seven layers of curtains to give

He sent it out.

Despite such strict regulations, those high-level moon realm monsters still set their domain as close to the palace as possible out of their own instincts without offending the Lord of Nightmares. In this way.

They are done so that they can be closer to the Lord who created them.

This day seems to be a very ordinary day for those high-level moon realm monsters near the palace. Of course, the concept of time in the moon realm is very vague, so calling it "this day" may not be a very accurate one.

statement.

But no matter what, on this day, the palace of the Lord of Nightmares was still closed with seven layers of curtains as usual, and the surroundings of the palace were also in peaceful silence. Of course, calling it peaceful may not be accurate.

After all, there is no such thing within the realm of the King of Nothingness.

All in all, those advanced moon monsters are trying to communicate with mortals in the world through dreams as usual - either to inspire nightmarish inspirations for those weird artists, or to control mortals to commit crimes while sleepwalking,

Or guide out-of-control dreams into the moon realm.

However, at this moment, two piercing sounds suddenly came from the distant horizon.

The attention of all the lunar monsters nearby was attracted by the unabashed voice.

In the morbid sky that looked like it had been smeared by a mental patient, there was a storm of crow feathers and a man with holy wings waving behind him, flying towards the palace of the Lord of Nightmares.

The former Moon Realm monsters present had some impressions that it seemed to be a messenger sent by the Moon Realm Lord not long ago.

A mere messenger from the Lord of the Moon Realm should not even be qualified to meet the Lord of Nightmares, but Ms. Jumara opened two layers of curtains for it.

This caused widespread discussion about high-level moon monsters nearby at the time.

As for the one flapping the holy wings, although the Moon Realm monsters present did not know who he was, his appearance made them all even more shocked.

Because he is a mortal.

A mortal, not to mention how he came to the Nightmare Swamp, actually dared to fly in the direction of the Nightmare Lord's palace?

Calling it suicidal is an understatement.

This is something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years.

All nearby moon realm monsters held their breath and concentrated, waiting for punishment from the palace.

Sure enough, there was movement in the palace.

But it's not the action they imagined.

The curtains outside the palace opened five layers in one breath, and a mist spread out, forming a huge female shadow.

A voice that sounded extremely sweet, but at the same time stirred fear deep in the hearts of everyone present, echoed around.
