Chapter 616

“No… it’s not working.”

After finding the gate of Moshin Ice City and ramming it with all his might for a while to no avail, the horned man, utterly exhausted, could only step back with a face full of reluctance and pant, “Even if the gate was pure…pure gold, I should’ve busted it open by now. This door…this door can’t be opened!”

“I can’t get in either.”

After the horned man’s attempt, a cleaner from the Fish Division shook his head and sighed, saying, “Although this massive city is visible and tangible, it isn’t truly a city in the material sense but rather a dream realm construct without physical form. My ‘pass token’ is ineffective on it.”

“My anomalous item is also useless. The outer wall of this city is less like a city wall and more like the outer boundary of a special dream. My carriage simply cannot drive in.”

“Me too!”

“You love me~ I love you~ Moshin…”

“Hurry! Quickly drag someone who understands souls over here! He’s being eroded by this dream!”

After a chaotic commotion, the cleaners, unable to find an entrance while staring at the tightly shut gates of Moshin Ice City, could only turn their eyes toward the seven-colored conch shell above, hoping to obtain a method to enter Moshin Ice City from the mouth of this “temporary examiner.”

Unfortunately, the so-called entertainer goddess who claimed to have signed a contract with the bureau seemed to think that figuring out how to get in was part of the test, completely ignoring their predicament. Thus, the cleaners had no choice but to abandon seeking outside help and began discussing animatedly.

“How about we try flying up there?”

A cleaner with a bird-like beak on his face suggested, “We can’t get in from the front, but maybe from above we can. I don’t see anything blocking the top of this city.”

“That’s impossible…”

The cleaner from the Fish Division who spoke earlier sarcastically remarked, “Didn’t I already explain? This city looks like a city, but in reality, it’s a special dream. Even though there’s nothing visibly blocking the top, you still won’t be able to get in!”

“What about from below…”

“Below is the same!”

“Since changing directions doesn’t work, why don’t we try my way?”

A cleaner from the Leo Subdivision stepped forward, his face solemn as he said, “In those few seconds I got trapped earlier, I understood the core of this dream. Everyone just follow what I do, and we’ll definitely sweetly break in… come on! Follow me, you love me, I love… Ah!”

“Sorry, sorry.”

After knocking out the comrade who suggested singing the Snow King anthem, another cleaner from the Leo Subdivision blushed and apologized:

“He woke up, and I thought he was fine, but apparently…”

“Drag him away! Don’t let him cause trouble!”

After driving away the cleaner whose mind was corrupted by Moshin Ice City, the remaining cleaners continued their strategy meeting, trying to figure out a way to enter Moshin Ice City.

Alas, this towering red-and-white giant city was truly “sturdy.” Despite using every trick in the book, the cleaners were still blocked outside, unable to make even a single step forward.

More than a dozen cleaners, relying on their superior abilities, rashly attempted to break in and ended up holding hands and standing shoulder-to-shoulder, sweetly forming a team to sing the Snow King anthem, unable to be dragged away no matter what.

And just at this helpless moment, the PK between two giant Leons at the rear was nearing its end…

“Die!”

And the “short” Leon was not one to back down, quickly retaliating with a gut kick that sent the “tall” Leon tumbling down, crushing thousands of ordinary nightmares who couldn’t evade in time.

But alas, both in terms of numbers and average strength, the “short” Leon was clearly at a great disadvantage. Despite his relentless resistance, he gradually became overwhelmed. The figure of the giant Leon grew increasingly faint, and it looked like complete disappearance wasn’t far off.

“The victors… are us!”

Grabbing the short Leon’s legs and executing a standard death spiral, wiping out nearly ten thousand ordinary nightmares in one go, the nightmare perched on the chest of the tall Leon spewed a puff of black smoke and laughed maniacally with a somewhat weak expression: “You’ve lost! You traitors who betrayed Master Nightmare King have absolutely no chance left!”

Damn!

Facing the Nightmare King’s arrogant attitude, the unidentifiable nightmare also spat out a puff of black smoke and screamed with resentment:

“You’re just taking advantage of numerical superiority! If Lady Snow Maiden or any of the other messengers were here…”

“If they were here, then it would be us who’d be killed.”

Candidly acknowledging the other party’s hypothesis, the Nightmare King spat out another puff of black smoke and sneered back: “So what are they doing? Why don’t you ask them to come out and help you!”

“…”

“Why aren’t you talking? Huh?”

Looking at the silent opponent, the Nightmare King sneered once more and then controlled “Big Leon” to jump up, delivering a crow-sit-on-a-plane attack that thunderously smashed down, completely dispersing “Small Leon.” Then, with blood-red eyes, he coldly sneered, “If you don’t want to talk, then let me speak for you! The reason those damned traitors aren’t here, even allowing Moshin Ice City to be sealed while letting us attack, naturally is because they have something more important to do… They’re desperately suppressing the revival of Master Nightmare King!”

？！！！Upon hearing the Nightmare King’s angry roar, the unidentifiable nightmare was instantly startled, eyes wide with disbelief:

“You?! How…how do you…”

“How do I know? Of course I know!”

After dispersing Small Leon, the Nightmare King controlling Big Leon sneered,

“Because there aren’t just seven Nightmare Messengers, but eight in total! And I am the eighth, and also the first Nightmare Messenger ever born!”

“What?!!!!”

What the heck?! Unexpectedly, within the subsequent crazy battle, there was hidden extra side plot. Leon and the other cleaners couldn’t help but look back, surprised, towards the battlefield behind.

“As fellow Nightmare Messengers bestowed power by Master Nightmare King, no one knows better than I what those seven traitors are up to!”

The victorious Nightmare King didn’t realize that more than four hundred bystanders were observing from afar. Instead, he looked down from a height at the stunned opponent and angrily shouted with a face full of hatred: “Due to Destroyer Leon’s insane actions, half the dream realm is filled with boundless fear. And Lord Nightmare King in the Soulfall Black Abyss received these unimaginably rich nutrients and should’ve awakened immediately.

But when I infiltrated that strange city with high hopes, I discovered that instead of benefiting from it, Master Nightmare King had suffered unimaginable desecration and suppression!”

The Nightmare King grew angrier as he spoke, pointing at the silently unmoving opponent and gritting his teeth as he roared:

“You damned traitors, you actually collected the fear of the creatures in the dream realm caused by the destroyer, wanting to use this fear to coalesce into a new ‘Nightmare Lord’ to replace Master Nightmare King who is still asleep! You…you bastards!!!”
