Chapter 181 It's Dawn
The monster that shone like a star, and was constantly wriggling, launched a fierce attack on Gawain. Its indescribable strange limbs seemed to be able to transform into countless destructive forms, whether it was sharp claws or Huge swords, even bows and tentacles can be continuously condensed from the "starlight aggregate", and this changeable form may be hinting at its essence: a created dream product, it is like Nightmares are generally indescribable, endless, and always in flux.
And Gawain resisted each of its attacks, and chopped off those proliferating limbs and mimetic weapons again and again.
"Steel Storm!"
Gawain's blade was activated by magic and turned into countless scorching blades of light. The shock wave swept away from right in front of him, and the slate ground along the way and the mutant limbs extending from the monster were instantly torn into pieces by the infinite impact. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gawain immediately jumped up and released the long-established "Champion Slash" - a sharp blade wrapped in white light fell from the sky and slashed Lilith Kant's body in the air.
Lilith Kant's body was almost torn in half under this blow, but the next second, the lantern filled with lavender light again, and her torn body was quickly repaired in the starlight. Gathering together, this crazy woman held up the lantern and laughed: "It's useless, hahaha, useless! I've become one with the power of dreams, you can't kill a dream! As long as I refuse to wake up , I will never die!!"
Gawain smiled slightly, and cut off a sharp claw that attacked from the blind spot of vision: "Is there anything in the dream... It seems that the doctrine of the eternal sleeper is really ingrained in your mind."
"Give it up, I admit that your strength is strong. In terms of combat effectiveness, no one in this land can defeat you, but no amount of strength can destroy a dream. Likewise, I can't kill you," Lilith said. Kant's manic expression instantly calmed down again. She looked at Gawain coldly and said lightly, "You can pretend that nothing happened here, and I can promise you not to take action against your subjects."
"I can see the madness in your eyes, ma'am, the power of that dark magic weapon has eroded your mind, and I won't believe any promise you made while holding the lantern," Gawain regained his posture and took a step. Stepping towards Lilith, who has already shown a semi-fused state with the "Starlight Polymer", "And why should I give up - didn't you notice? Your regeneration is slower than every time."
"Huh?!" With Gawain's reminder, Lilith Kant finally noticed the changes that had happened to her. She took a deep breath and looked at her enemy angrily, "What did you do?!"
"It seems that Knight Philip has found the real 'pillar' for you to maintain your dream," Gawain raised his sword, "How long can you hold on now?"
In the ruins of the stables behind the main building of the castle, Knight Philip directly smashed the secret door in front of him-with the weakening of the power of the nightmare, the doors that were originally indestructible due to the blockade of the dream have now lost the power to protect themselves. , the long sword with magic power slashed, whether it is wood or steel, it will be torn apart in an instant.
Behind the secret door is a staircase leading to the ground, and at the end of the staircase is an astonishingly vast underground space.
Seeing the scene in the underground space, Knight Philip frowned tightly.
The vast underground hall is illuminated by dim magic spar lamps, in that obscure light,
You can see neatly arranged square stone pillars standing there, and each stone pillar is engraved with countless obscure magical runes and lines, but it is not the evil runes on the stone pillars that really make the young knight angry. , but the "things" surrounding the pillar.
The rectangular platforms are arranged with stone pillars as the center, forming a neat structure like a matrix, and on each platform you can see a thin, twisted and shriveled human body. These people are still alive, but life is not as good as death. They lie on a layer of dark brown soft material, and there is some kind of "biological tissue" like an umbilical cord or blood vessel connecting them to the square stone pillars. Branch and plunge into the head of everyone on the platform.
Those people maintain the operation of the entire dream world under such circumstances, their brain power is squeezed and drained, and they sink into continuous dreams and cannot wake up. The limbs they stay in the real world occasionally With a slight twitch, there were occasional low-pitched murmurs in their throats, but these were just the most basic neural reflexes.
On the ground between the rectangular platforms and square stone pillars, there are dead bones: it is the exhausted "firewood", the homeless people who have been missing on this land for 30 years and do not belong to Kant's territory. .
"This is... how... evil!!"
Philip roared angrily, raised his long sword high, and slashed at the stone pillar closest to him.
In the underground cellar of the North Tower, the radiance of the runes on the stone pillars was extinguishing one by one, and the power that maintained the continuous regeneration of the "starlight aggregate" also declined sharply. Gawain easily cut off this changeable Every proliferating limb on the monster's body once again exposed Lilith Kant's body, and this time, the latter's regeneration has almost completely stopped. floating.
The crazy woman growled: "How do you know...how do you know!"
"Because you asked the butler Carter to divert our attention, but you accidentally exposed your last secret," Gawain knew that the situation was settled, so he could not help sighing softly, "If I guessed correctly, the housekeeper is probably also a Dream product, the real Carter should have died many years ago - no one can disappear into Amber's sight out of thin air, because the most powerful shadow master in the world can't do this, he disappeared in the ruins of the stable Nearby, it can only mean that there is the 'internal border' of the dreamland..."
"In the end, you are not a professional nightmare master. Although the Eternal Sleeper has given you a powerful power, that power was displayed with the help of an ancient lantern, and you are... just a half-ass."
The expression on Lilith Kant's face became more and more distorted, she heard Gawain's words, she suddenly grinned and showed a smile: "You reminded me, I still have this lamp...Although it is not finished, this lamp The accumulated energy has... what?!"
She looked down at her hand in astonishment, but the lantern that emitted magical brilliance had been replaced by an ordinary lantern at some point, and the figure of Amber only appeared from a distance at this time. She did not know when the lantern had arrived.
The half-elf thief shook the lantern in his hand triumphantly, and his words were arrogant and twitchy: "I tell you, not being able to pry your door open is the biggest shame in my career! If I can't steal your lamp, I will From now on, I won't be in this business anymore!"
This time, even Gawain had to look at Amber with an expression of surprise and admiration: He really didn't expect this guy to be able to do this. How many levels did she get on the skill tree? !
But on the other side, Lilith Kant, who lost her lantern, calmed down eerily. The starlight aggregate behind her gradually dissipated, while another dark shadow gathered under her feet. Looking at Gawain and Amber, this The Viscountess from Kant suddenly showed a weird smile: "Do you think you have won?"
Gawain frowned.
"Our son... is coming home soon."
Lilith smiled and opened her hands, as if she was about to welcome her son who had traveled far away for many years to come home, her tone was full of joy and pride: "Belm, my proud child, he has traveled abroad for decades, and he has grown up. For a real man, a real heir! Today is his day home... Did you hear that? The bells of the carriage are already ringing on the flagstone road outside the castle, and he is returning to the place where he was born, as The heir of the Kant family, to inherit this family business and glory... and you can never stop his inheritance!"
Gawain clenched the long sword in his hand instantly. He did hear it. He heard a phantom sound of horses and horses ringing in his ears. He heard an inhuman being born from a nightmare getting off the carriage and striding forward. Come to the castle!
This is what the dream that lasted for thirty years really gave birth to - and this is the real explanation of the sentence he heard in the memory fragment of the Eternal Sleeper cult:
"The one who passed away will eventually return, not only in dreams, but also in reality..."
For thirty years, in the hearts of everyone in this land, there is a "Master Belm" who has traveled abroad. Although he has never appeared in the territory, those letters from other places, descriptions from lords, The rumors of this person have completely outlined the existence of this person, and Lilith Conde has accumulated huge magic power in thirty years and countless people's lives to shape this "individual" that originally existed only in dreams.
Her real purpose is not only to keep her husband by her side, she even wants to resurrect her son in reality!
But in this dark and corrupt ritual, she can only resurrect a monster - an indescribable monster in human skin, piled up by the subconscious murmurs of countless people!
The lantern had been separated from Lilith Kant, so killing the Viscountess in front of him was meaningless, but Gawain had anticipated the worst in advance, so he was not afraid, but clenched his long sword, Waiting for the heir of the Kant family to step into the castle and come to this place.
The new nightmare creation is not invincible - after Knight Philip destroyed the maintenance power of the dream, the "Master Belm" is just a normal monster with flesh and blood that can be defeated.
At the gate of the castle, a black carriage was parked in the rainy night, and a "visitor" wearing a long black trench coat with no facial features came to the gate of the castle. He knocked on the gate, and after a while, this fan The heavy door opened, and the butler Carter stood behind it with a smile.
A welcoming team instantly appeared in the main hall of the castle, and the band began to play, welcoming the return of the heir to this territory.
In the cellar of the North Tower, Lilith Kant's life force began to flow away at a speed visible to the naked eye. She was as pale as a corpse, and her legs could no longer stand. She knelt beside the stone pavilion in the center of the cellar and looked in front of her. Gawain and Amber, with provocative smiles on their faces.
But at this moment, the oak door of the cellar was suddenly pushed open.
The figure of Victor Kant appeared at the door.
Lilith's eyes widened at this moment, and she looked at the figure standing at the door in surprise and even horror.
"Darling...how did you come here?!"
Victor Kant's body seemed hazy, even a little transparent, as if covered with a veil, he walked towards the center of the cellar, his tone was low and gentle: "Come see you, come see me, come see ...our son."
"No...you don't come here, you can't come here!" Lilith exclaimed, and even miraculously stood up again, "You can't come here!"
"Madam, don't stop me," Victor Kant's figure swayed, then continued to walk forward, "don't disturb my spirit anymore, this is my last wish in this nightmare."
In the main hall of the castle, the faceless visitor walked past his servants who were lined up to greet him. The butler Carter accompanied him. A hoarse and chaotic voice came from the visitor's body. It was a language that cannot be understood by the human brain, but Carter But as if he understood, he kept nodding with a smile, and accompanied his "young master" across the hall and through the corridor.
In the cellar of the North Tower, the Viscountess charged in vain towards her husband - her fingers pierced through his body, causing her to cry out: "How could this be a nightmare? How could this be a nightmare! This… …”
"This is a nightmare for all of us, Lilith," Viscount Kant looked down at his body and then at his wife in front of him, "Give it up, it's time for you to wake up, you are already awake."
He went straight past the Viscountess, came to the stone pavilion, and put his hands on the coffin lid.
Before pushing it away, Viscount Kant looked back at Gawain.
"Thank you for your help, Duke Gawain Cecil, you are a hero who saved the people as described in the epic."
The heavy coffin lid was pushed open.
Viscount Kant looked inside, and he saw a fragmented skeleton, and next to the skeleton, there were several slender bones.
And between the two skeletons, there was a woman with closed eyes lying quietly - Lilith Kant's real body has been buried in this stone pavilion.
"It's finally dawn..."
With a sigh, the figure of Victor Kant gradually disappeared in the air, and "Lilith Kant" standing outside the stone pavilion also disappeared at the same time.
An angry roar came from the direction of the main building of the castle - in the end, the faceless visitor was unable to step into the real world after all.
Knight Philip left the underground hall tiredly, and after climbing up to the surface, he looked at the sky with a little surprise: the torrential rain had stopped for some time, and a gleam of light was rising from the horizon.
"It's finally dawn..."
The young knight grunted.
