The entire Nightmare Castle began to tremble.
It was as if a terrifying beast that had been slumbering for tens of thousands of years was slowly awakening. The entire castle was filled with a bloody, cruel, and tyrannical aura.
The nightmare creatures that had been pouring in from all over the castle no longer pounced towards Grimm. Instead, they gathered at a corner of the hall and gathered into a grey, soft-bodied monster. As the creatures continued to fuse in, the grey monster continued to expand. It gradually filled up every gap in the hall and began to squeeze towards Grimm.
[Beep. Grade 4 energy detected … Initial analysis: this creature is at the beginning of Grade 4!]
The A.I. Chip's prompt made Grimm's heart skip a beat. This was only the second stage, and there was already a Grade 4 nightmare creature. Just how powerful would it be in the later stages?
Grimm did not dare to let the opponent continue to grow unbridledly. He waved his staff, and a stream of golden flames with terrifying heat met the strange, soft-bodied creature head-on.
The golden flames and the grey monster collided.
Strange sizzling sounds of burning flesh could be heard in the hall, and a pungent smell quickly spread out.
* Creak creak creak … *
The grey monster seemed to feel pain, and began to twist and struggle frantically.
Its body was so swollen that it almost filled up the entire hall. As a result, the slightest movement caused the entire castle to tremble and shake.
The grey monster twisted its body frantically, flinging out balls of strange liquid that looked like snot. The moment the liquid landed on the ground, it slowly bulged and transformed into something that looked like a venomous Ooze Monster.
They dragged their greasy, jelly-like bodies on the floor, and as they neared Grimm, they spat out grey mucus.
Fortunately, Grimm had the Burning Domain to block them and the Lava Shield to protect himself, so he did not have to worry about these tiny creatures. However, their existence did hinder Grimm's battle with the grey monster.
The Book of Filthiness in Grimm's right hand began to flip according to his will. Every time a page was flipped, an ugly plague creature would jump out from within. As soon as these fearless servant corpses landed on the ground, they charged at the Oozies without hesitation.
When they were within a certain distance of each other, the servant corpses' stomachs that were as large as a bell exploded. Terrifying waves of plague poison and thousands of pieces of bone and skin rained down in all directions like a storm.
The originally grey Ooze Monster immediately turned purple. Even its movement and the speed at which it spat out acid became abnormally slow.
The most terrifying thing about nightmare creatures was the despair that came with their attacks, which could induce strong negative reactions in their enemies. Unfortunately, plague creatures were not creatures of flesh and blood, so they naturally did not have such negative emotions.
However, the plague creatures mainly relied on spreading the plague virus to attack their enemies. Now that they had encountered a Nightmare Creature that did not fall for the same trick, their attacks became futile.
Since their special methods were ineffective against each other, the only thing that was left was a bloody melee!
The servant corpses charged forward fiercely, but they were either turned into sieves by the enemy's acid, swallowed by the 'Ooze Monsters' and digested into a puddle of black liquid, or exploded into a cloud of black smoke and covered their enemies with a layer of green plague spores …
The center of the hall was the battlefield. The plague creatures and nightmare creatures were locked in a fierce battle, but it also hindered Grimm's progress.
Compared to Grimm's abyss of suffering, Mary's side was calm.
Perhaps it was due to Mary's special constitution, the Nightmare Castle did not show any malice towards her. Instead, it resonated with her soul.
Mary's message indicated that she had found clues to Koslin's soul core and was exploring deeper into the Nightmare Weave.
Since that was the case, Grimm gave up on the idea of meeting up with her and began to fight the nightmare creatures wholeheartedly. As for Koslin, it was obvious that he was in a deep slumber to fuse with the enormous power obtained from the blood sacrifice.
The only thing Grimm could do now was to attract the enemy's attention to himself, giving Mary a chance to sneak into the deeper parts of the Nightmare Weave.
With that thought in mind, Grimm transformed without hesitation.
Violent and ferocious crimson flames gushed out from every pore of his body, forming a sea of raging flames around him. His body was burning hot, and it began to expand rapidly.
Molten Giant …
Ever since he reached Tier 4, he could only transform into the Molten Giant to bear the surging pure flame energy and the mysterious law of fire in his body!
A normal human body could deal with small situations, but if he wanted to fight with all his might, his body would not be able to withstand the power of the law of fire. Before he could hurt the enemy, the law of fire would have already melted Grimm's body.
Of course, this was also because Grimm had not completely grasped the law of fire. If he had really made the law of fire a part of him, how could fire hurt him?
The Molten Giant that Grimm transformed into was twelve meters tall, and it was not something that the small castle hall could bear.
When he completed his transformation, the top of his head reached the top of the hall. The terrifying flames that swirled around him crazily licked the floor beneath his feet and the ceiling above his head, causing them to crackle. However, they did not melt into liquid lava like before.
After transforming into the Molten Giant, many of his fire spells no longer required incantations. It was like a special ability of his race, and he could activate them with a wave of his hand.
Grimm took large strides forward, the flames around him spreading outwards crazily. In an instant, the entire hall was within the range of the Burning Domain. At the same time, an indescribable heavy pressure came from all directions, colliding with Grimm's consciousness, trying to suppress the overflowing power back into his body.
"Hmph …"
Grimm grunted, using the Book of Darkness to protect his body and mind, and focusing most of his mental strength into the Vulcan Bead. Immediately, waves of violent and ferocious magic flames began to swirl like a hurricane, sweeping through every corner of the hall.
The gray monster in front of Grimm was immediately ravaged by the terrifying flames!
So what if it was a Grade 4 nightmare creature!
Under the repeated attacks of the two divine weapons, the gray monster's body was scorched black, and its body became smaller and smaller. No matter how many nightmare creatures continued to fuse into it, it could not change the fact that it was shrinking rapidly.
However, just as Grimm was torturing the gray nightmare creature, the A.I. Chip's prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Time's up! Entering the third stage of Nightmare Weave … "
As soon as the prompt sounded, the situation in front of him changed strangely.
The Basic Grade 4 Gray Plague Monster had suddenly self-destructed!
Its huge grey body exploded into balls of soft liquid, spreading to every corner of the hall and quickly fusing with it.
In the next second, the entire Nightmare Castle suddenly came back to life.
Densely packed grey biological substance seeped out from the floor, walls and ceiling, quickly fusing together. In a moment, the entire hall, apart from the area controlled by Grimm's Burning Domain, was completely covered by this biological substance.
They swelled up and down, their surface covered in moist mucus and wrinkled patterns. From afar, they looked like the intestines and acidic fluids of flesh creatures.
And Grimm was obviously the 'food' in their intestines!
In every corner and secret room of the castle that Grimm could not see, there were cocoons that seemed to be piled up from flesh and blood, expanding and contracting rhythmically. Inside each cocoon bubble, one could see some grotesquely shaped embryos of strange creatures floating in the wretched green liquid.
When Grimm's incomparably violent flame aura wreaked havoc in the Nightmare Castle, the monsters in the cocoons could not help but become restless.
Those guys that were already mature or close to mature couldn't wait any longer as they tore open the membrane and crawled out from the muddy yellow liquid. They shook their ugly and twisted bodies and raised their sinister heads to sniff the air with their nostrils. Then, they immediately roared and pounced towards the direction where the flame aura was coming from.
Standing in the hall, Grimm, who was cleaning up these annoying meat walls, suddenly raised his head and silently sensed for a moment. He could clearly feel that the tyrannical aura in the surroundings was becoming stronger.
Apart from the cruel and tyrannical aura, a strange emotion that could cause one's mind to decline was growing in the depths of one's heart. Just like how the Law of Fire could produce flames without the aid of any combustibles, this strange emotion could also break through the defenses of a human's heart, planting the seeds of despair in their hearts and watering them little by little.
And the nutrients for its growth were all the negative emotions in the human heart!
This also meant that in the Nightmare Weave, as long as one's heart was not completely cold, the enemy could use the Law to provoke one's negative emotions, causing one's mind and consciousness to gradually sink into darkness.
The only thing that could resist one type of Law was another type of Law!
The Book of Darkness in Grimm's hand produced a ray of Law Light, forcefully repelling the negative emotions from the Nightmare Weave. But unknowingly, Grimm's pitch-black eyes were gradually covered with a layer of dark red light, and the luster of his spirit began to dim.
At this time, Grimm's opponent was no longer an ordinary nightmare creature, but the Nightmare Castle that was gradually recovering. As for the nightmare creatures that were constantly attacking using the meat walls, their individual levels had risen to mid-tier 3.
