The hall had now become a purgatory of flesh and blood!
The noble guests who had been elegant and refined before had now torn off their masks of hypocrisy and began to madly chase and kill each other.
They had no weapons.
What they used were the most instinctive weapons of the human body, teeth and limbs.
They wrestled, bit, and gnawed at each other, using all means to attack the targets around them.
They had already lost all human etiquette and reason, and were like a bunch of wild beasts pouncing and biting each other. Their faces were distorted, and they opened their mouths as wide as they could. They did not even care if the corners of their mouths were torn.
They pounced on the nearest target, opened their mouths wide, and revealed sharp teeth dripping with blood. They ruthlessly bit down on the other party's neck or body. Once bitten, they would not let go. They howled like wild beasts as they shook their heads with all their might. Every time they tore off a large piece of flesh from the other party's body.
Every time a prey fell, seven or eight people with bloodshot eyes and mouths full of blood pounced on it and tore it into pieces.
There was no one alive in the hall. Everyone was a group of wild beasts who had fallen into a feast of flesh and blood!
They had no allies or partners. Every living creature was their enemy.
Even the young men and women who were dancing and hugging each other just a moment ago were now lying on the ground, roaring like wild beasts and attacking each other like wild beasts …
Just as Grim approached the entrance of the hall, two male attendants in well-ironed clothes who were slightly closer suddenly raised their heads.
Their mouths were stained with blood, and their hands were dripping with blood.
Beneath them was a beautiful lady in a gorgeous evening gown lying on her back. Half of her neck was missing, and her broken throat was exposed. His chest was badly mutilated, and large chunks of flesh and blood had disappeared.
However, what was surprising was that even with such heavy injuries, the noblewoman did not die. Instead, she turned her head crazily and kept opening and closing her mouth, as if she wanted to tear something apart.
"Beep. The Host is continuously affected by the Nightmare Halo and has entered the shallow layer of the Nightmare Weave … The Feast of Massacre has begun. Please find Koslin's Soul Core as soon as possible. Otherwise, after he absorbs enough power from the Blood Sacrifice, his strength will gradually increase …"
"The Killing Feast is the first stage. Koslin's basic strength is estimated to be at Tier 4 Intermediate. In 7 minutes and 13 seconds, he will enter the second stage. Koslin's strength is estimated to be at Tier 4 Advanced. In 16 minutes and 28 seconds, he will enter the third stage. His strength is estimated to be at Tier 4 Peak. In 28 minutes and 46 seconds, he will enter the fourth stage.
"When the time comes, the main body's chances of winning against it in the Nightmare Weave will be infinitely close to zero …"
The A.I. Chip's prompt lingered in Grim's mind. In his dream, the two monstrous waiters suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced at him.
The A.I. Chip scanned it, and a string of data appeared.
[Hungry Nightmare Ghost] (Spirit-Type Creature, Tier 1 Intermediate) Transformed from the creatures killed in Nightmare Castle. The core of its soul was resentment, and it hated all living things. No physical damage, double elemental damage … "
Afraid of elemental damage?
A cold smile appeared on Grim's face. With a light flick of his fingers, two purple fireballs the size of eggs flew out and hit their bodies.
Although the fireballs were small, they were unprecedentedly powerful!
* Bang Bang … *
As soon as the purple fireball touched their bodies, it immediately burst into surging purple flames, wrapping their entire bodies in it.
They were only Grade 1 spirits, and in the face of Grim's powerful magic attacks, they did not even have the chance to resist before turning into ashes.
Without the suppression of the two Hungry Ghosts, the lady who had been half-eaten flipped over and used her crippled hands to claw at the floor. She let out strange cries as she crawled towards Grim. Her mouth opened and closed incessantly, and she had a ferocious look on her face.
Before she could even crawl to his feet, a ring of flames shot out from Grim's body, turning the lady into ashes in an instant.
The appearance of the high-temperature flames immediately caused the Hungry Ghosts in the hall to be stunned. They stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Grim, who was standing at the entrance of the hall. A scarlet flame quickly ignited in the depths of their eyes.
* Roar … *
All the Hungry Ghosts screamed mournfully and crawled down at the same time, pouncing towards Grim.
Grim grasped the Flaming Coral Staff in his hand, and with a slight shake, an even larger ring of flames surged out. All the Hungry Ghosts that came into contact with the ring of flames did not even have the chance to cry out before they were instantly turned to ashes.
However, what surprised Grim was that no matter how powerful his Fire Spell was, it seemed to only be able to kill the Hungry Ghosts and not damage the castle at all.
The smooth and clean floor was still as bright as ever. The terrifyingly high temperature flames covered it for a long time, but not a single burn mark could be seen. The Hungry Ghosts that could easily be destroyed with a wave of their hands began to surge out from every corner of the castle, stopping Grim in his tracks and making it difficult for him to advance.
"A.I. Chip, these spirits can't be killed?" A few consecutive waves of flames killed thousands of Hungry Ghosts, but the number that surged out did not decrease. Grim finally realised that something was wrong.
[Beep. These spirits are the souls of the dead that were bound by Nightmare Castle. The core of their resentment is in Koslin's hands … As long as Koslin's soul is not destroyed, these spirits can be projected endlessly …]
So these were not the bodies of the spirits, but the projections of their resentment!
Grim grunted and snapped his fingers again.
A dark red barrier shot out, forming a light membrane with a radius of ten metres and blocking all the enemies outside. As long as the Hungry Ghosts pounced into the light membrane, they would be incinerated into ashes by the dark red flames even without Grim's attack.
Blazing Domain … This was the Blazing Domain that Grim had obtained after advancing to become a Fire Wizard!
In the outside world, Grim's Blazing Domain could easily overturn a large barrier that spanned over a thousand metres. But here, under the suppression of Koslin's Nightmare Domain, the Blazing Domain could only extend to an area of around ten metres, and its power was undoubtedly much weaker.
However, it was more than enough to incinerate these Hungry Ghosts who were only at rank 1!
As he used the Blazing Domain to exterminate these hateful Hungry Ghosts, Grim glanced around, scanning everything in the hall. After all, this was not the real world, but a projection of Koslin's Nightmare Domain.
Hence, Koslin's soul core could exist in any form in this place. The only way to find it was to make it jump out on its own accord.
* Whoosh! *
A malevolent figure clawed through the fiery barrier in front of Grim, and the other party was turned into a fireball by the Blazing Domain and the recoil of the flames. It struggled and howled for a few seconds before turning into ashes.
Hm, its rank has increased?
Grim was slightly taken aback, and immediately noticed the new information that the A.I. Chip projected in his mind.
[Nightmare Domain, middle level. Nightmare creatures have increased in rank …]
[Despair Specter, spirit-type creature, rank 2. Its main body possesses an astonishing number of vengeful spirits …]
[Hate Hound, spirit-type creature, rank 2. Specialises in biting and pouncing attacks …]
Only now did Grim notice that the monster he had incinerated was a hate hound. It did not have a single strand of hair on its body, and there were large festers and abscesses all over its body. The only strange thing about it was that it had two heads, which made it look extremely ugly and sinister.
It was said that the Cerberus of the Abyss was the ultimate form of the hate hound.
All of them had the same strange ability, and that was' Flash '!
Just as this thought appeared in Grim's mind, six or seven malevolent and terrifying figures suddenly appeared around him. They appeared outside of the fiery barrier in an instant, opening their huge mouths and tearing at the stone in a frenzy.
The flames of the Blazing Domain spread across their bodies, causing them to howl in pain. However, it did not affect their fighting strength at all. They did not seem to fear death at all. Even if their entire bodies were engulfed in dark red flames that soared into the sky, they still attacked the fiery barrier with all their might.
Another three sides of Grimm's Flame Shield were torn apart, and the seven hate hounds were burnt to a crisp.
As soon as the hate hounds died, a bone-chilling ghost howl suddenly sounded outside of the Blazing Domain. Illusory ghost faces gushed out from the body of a seductress and madly rushed into the Blazing Domain, surrounding Grim.
Although the flames of the Blazing Domain burned most of the ghost faces, there were still some that broke through the layers of defense and appeared in front of Grim.
The Book of Darkness in Grim's hand suddenly emitted a pale green light, and an invisible force field spread out, sucking every ghost face that got close to Grim into a small vortex that extended out of the cover of the book.
The seductress seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and she raised her head and let out a shrill scream.
Immediately, the same scream echoed in every corner of the castle, and half-real seductresses wearing light muslin clothes emerged from the walls, the floor, and the ceiling.
In a flash, Grim was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could escape.
The Despair Ghost was a terrifying monster that was transformed from a spirit body. Their bodies were bound by an inexhaustible amount of human despair. Any Magus that was entangled by them would usually end up committing suicide if they could not withstand the impact of the terrifying despair.
It had been almost seven minutes, and they were about to enter the second phase of the Nightmare Domain.
Grim also noticed that the more he killed, the more terrifying the energy aura of the entire Nightmare Castle became.
The countless nightmare creatures absorbed this terrifying energy, and were in the midst of rapid evolution and growth. After only five minutes of fighting, there were already rank 2 nightmare creatures. What kind of monsters would appear in the second phase?
As Grim pondered silently, the A.I. Chip's prompt appeared.
