Chapter 2403 A Sudden Disaster
Black nightmare.
This name once resounded throughout the Zephyr Continent and became a real nightmare that countless adventurers could not get rid of.
If the disaster that wiped out the entire continent hadn't happened, today's adventurers would have been frightened and changed their minds when they heard about it.
Even if disaster baptizes the world, there are still remaining ancient documents that have survived, and their contents have been copied on the ancient documents.
After the demise of the goblin rule, a large part of the ancient documents were burned, and seven out of ten of the remaining documents were buried at the bottom of the sea. Today, only two out of ten are still intact and have clear writing.
These are just a few, and there are only a few records related to the black nightmare.
It can be seen that the black nightmare had a huge impact on the Zephyr Continent back then.
Now, when I said the words 'black nightmare', the three women couldn't help but change their expressions, especially Alice.
She held my arm tightly and said to me in a tone that was almost pleading and almost threatening: "Don't explore the black nightmare anymore, no! That is the most dangerous and evil thing I have ever seen so far! Anything. Creatures that touch it will lose their true nature and become walking zombies that rely on instinct to survive!"
I frowned and glanced at the arm tightly held by Alice. Although it was quite comfortable to have my arm held tightly by a lively and sexy beauty, the atmosphere was not right at the moment, and the two of us Although this was not the first time we met, before today, we had never spoken more than three sentences. We were just the kind of strangers who didn’t know how to say hello when we walked past.
I like to be relied on by beautiful women, but I don’t like to be relied on by strange beauties, so——
Withdrawing my arm forcefully, I said in a deep voice: "Miss Alice, please calm down. I have seen the black nightmare. It is just an ordinary black ore that cannot be more ordinary, and whether you come into contact with it or use it, You won’t lose your true nature.”
Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind, and I had to swallow the second half of the sentence.
Lost your true nature?
I can't forget that after the black nightmare was completely absorbed by my left arm, every time I felt the urge to kill, there was always a voice lingering in my ears, clear but hollow, like a whisper from hell. Encourage me to 'kill, kill everything'.
My mind was disturbed at that time, so I put danger and death behind and fought my way into the ghost-faced spider's lair, turning groups of ferocious ghost-faced spiders into the dead souls of my sword.
I didn't think much about it at that time, I just felt that I was very brave. Now that I look at it carefully, I realized that that bravery was caused by the temptation of the black nightmare!
Fortunately, I was not very strong at the time and had the Ghost Faced Spider as an outlet, so I gained a reputation as an unparalleled bravery in the eyes of Yula, Jin Siqi, and Harold.
If I were extremely powerful, on par with the apostles, and surrounded by humans, I would feel hopeless just thinking about it.
There was a soft click, and Shalan put down the wine glass. She narrowed her beautiful eyes, stared at me, and said word by word: "It seems that the elder also knows a lot about black nightmares."
I broke into a cold sweat and quickly reached out to touch it. He chuckled and said, "Miss Shalan is overthinking. I like to hunt for novels by nature and have done some research on all kinds of new things. Naturally, strange substances like black nightmares are also among them. .”
Shalan smiled and said: "To be fair to the elders, the three of us are also very interested in black nightmares. Since the elders know a lot about black nightmares, why don't you explain to us, what do you know about black nightmares? "
I had a forced smile on my face, but in my heart I cursed myself for talking too much, for mentioning such a black nightmare! Now it’s okay, I’ve been blackmailed, do you think I should tell you or not?
To be honest, apart from absorbing two pieces of black nightmare, I have no idea about its functions and uses.
If I don’t say anything, I’ve said it all. Even if I regret it, I’m afraid the three girls won’t believe it, especially Alice’s stubborn look. If I don’t say something to convince them, I will probably turn against the three of them.
Of these three people, one is the leader of Tarakuta, one is the representative of the Spin Demon Society, and the other is the mysterious proprietress of the Moonlight Tavern. Behind each of them, there is a powerful force as a backer.
The only ones who really dare to fall out with them are the five major countries, several ancient organizations, and the five major adventurer guilds.
Although my strength is not weak and the power I control is not small, compared with these organizations that have existed for countless years and even dare to go head-to-head with a single apostle, I am still far behind.
Since you can't fight or escape, you might as well just accept it quietly.
Clearing my throat, I said: "Since the three beauties are so complimentary, I will no longer be reserved. This will make me look ugly. If there is anything wrong with what I said, I hope you can tell me."
At the moment, I combined my own feelings, mixed with some folk rumors, and the content of ancient documents I had read, and made a general overview of the black nightmare.
That is, black nightmare is a non-metallic substance that exists in nature and possesses powerful energy. Its black surface is very smooth and its texture is relatively hard. It has been specially processed and can be absorbed by the human body. The effects of absorption vary from person to person.
After the creator Luke absorbed the power of the black nightmare, not only did his body change, but his mind and reason also underwent earth-shaking changes.
He transformed from an old man who looked kind but was actually quite cunning and insidious, into a biochemical monster with strong limbs, bloodthirsty and cruelty.
In contrast, I also absorbed the energy from the black nightmare, but obviously, my only reaction after absorbing the energy was to have diarrhea several times that day.
The black nightmare that almost transformed Luke into the image of a tyrant in Resident Evil, when it came to me, it only had the effect of clearing my intestines.
This answer is really unacceptable to the three women.
Even if the limbs don't mutate, at least there must be qualitative changes in other aspects, right?
It's just a bowel cleansing. If Luke were still alive and heard my answer, he would be so angry that he would bleed to death on the spot.
And I will definitely become the first and strongest king in history to kill an apostle without a single blow.
Facing the suspicious looks from the three women, I looked aggrieved: "Really, I only had diarrhea a few times. I don't know if the black nightmare has expired and gone bad, or if it and I are not naturally compatible. Anyway, This is the truth. If you don’t believe it, I can’t help it. The worst I can do is get a few pieces of Black Nightmare and I’ll perform it for you on the spot, eating the Black Nightmare alive. But please be sure to prepare a toilet for me. I don’t want it to go downhill. "
