Capítulo 840: Chapter 300: Clearing Skies (Part 4)

But even so, she still couldn’t devour all the nightmares, and thus had no choice but to force others to leave the scene.

And she herself also paid the price for this reckless act.

‘I’ve never eaten something so disgusting in my life…’

The first ray of dawn rose from the horizon, landing on the Hero’s furrowed brow, invigorating her spirit slightly.

She sighed, trying to stand up, her emerald eyes gently blinking, shedding a tear of genuine emotion.

The tears fell to the ground, pure spiritual energy spreading and turning the sulfurous air into something fresh and pleasant.

“It really isn’t working.”

Watching the mountain of corpses before her, unchanged, the Hero helplessly shook her head.

Composed of nightmares, the Fallen Sea Shrimp, which was originally an intangible being, did not dissipate with the wind after dying but left a grotesque corpse mountain behind.

Calling it a corpse mountain, it is actually made of a black material akin to rock, like cooled magma, yet cold and icy to the touch.

The grotesque and terrifying outline before her resembles various dream remnants across the boundless dead dreamland.

Reversing the boundary between reality and dreams, a materialized nightmare…

Now that the Fallen Sea Shrimp is dead, these remains are neither evil nor calamitous, merely an ancient terror left here.

Dreams have always been a natural part of humankind, even a babbling baby awakens at night, crying from nightmares.

And the yearning for survival is an essential desire of life.

The dead dream of rebirth… Even if twisted and fanciful, can it truly be labeled as evil?

No matter how one defines the nature of this Great Demon, if nightmares could be easily purified by Holy Light like Undead driven by negative elements, then the Pope wouldn’t be so helpless against them.

In the Hero’s perception, fragmented nightmares crawled from the shadows of the corpse mountain; they didn’t approach but fell into the sea water flooding the ravines below, retreating with the tides.

If the nightmares eaten on the Isolated Island by the nun were like normal white bread, these were like coarse, stinky bread.

The Hero had never seen anything so foul; perhaps only the food given to slaves, recorded in books from when slavery existed, could rival it.

“Here, is my territory.”

With her stomach’s capacity reaching or even surpassing its limit, the Hero didn’t try to stop them, but issued a calm declaration as an existence of the same class.

“If you want to infest this city, then try defeating me first.

“Otherwise, if you don’t want to be devoured, stay away from here.”

The sea gave her no response, but the wind blew over the riddled Mountain of Nightmare, issuing a mournful cry.

Sunlight sprinkled over the sea, gilding the waves with a layer of gold.
