Almost at the same time the attack began, a strange and low rumble echoed throughout the Lair of Nightmares, as if tons of seawater was crashing against the thick walls of flesh and blood. The rumble came from all directions, and it was getting louder and louder.
Then, Hao Ren saw the wall of flesh and blood start to move, as lumps of protruding objects squeezed out from the layers of connective tissue and thick skin, and as they emerged, they quickly changed form, slowly turning into hideous and terrifying aberrations.
These newborn monsters had a clear target, and once they appeared, they immediately roared and charged at the uninvited guests in the lair, and what welcomed them was rapid fire from the droids and drones.
Hao Ren released the sentries that he had prepared in his dimensional pocket, and had these agile units that were adept at close-quarters combat to deal with the aberrations, as the latter were obviously cannon fodder that had just split out from the flesh, and there was no need to waste time against these monsters that had no combat power other than numbers.
And the moment he saw the aberrations, Hao Ren even felt a little relieved.
Just as the sprites had provided, the guards in the Lair of Nightmares were actually quite limited. The guards that were not in the dream would affect the brain's operations, so the guards in the lair were all aberrations that did not even have the most basic of thinking abilities, and they did not have to deal with the powerful festered giants and the minions of madness, and this gave everyone a lot more confidence in their next move.
But the weakness of the guards did not mean that Hao Ren and the rest could easily take down the brain in the center of the lair. While there were not many guards around the brain, it was surrounded by layers of protective fields, and these sturdy fields were the biggest problem for the assassins.
Boom!!
Another white laser shot tore through the air and struck the shield around the brain, and the violent energy blast even caused the space around the shield to distort and compress, but after the energy dissipated, most of the hundreds of shields were still intact, and the few that were pierced through were rapidly regenerating.
But Hao Ren quickly realized that the regeneration speed of the shields was not faster than he expected.
"Focus fire, don't stop!" He immediately shouted, "Those shields can't recharge as fast as we can destroy them!"
The continuous explosions began to erupt all over the Lair of Nightmares, as the droids and autonomous bots fought against the tide of mutated monsters, while Hao Ren led the elite team in the center of the lair and blasted the platform the brain giant was on. At the same time, the cataclysm caused by the collapse of the crystal pillars was still spreading, and the shockwaves in the planet's cavity had already squeezed the armor relocators to the limit, and the entire Lair of Nightmares and the strata it was on seemed to have been tossed into a storm as it shook and shook violently, as if the apocalypse was about to come at any moment!
But the Lair of Nightmares itself was still stable. While the space distorted by the power of chaos had suffered the impact of the crystal pillar collapsing, it still maintained its stability. And now, the owner of the lair had realized the danger in the real world and was trying to wake up.
Under the protection of the layers of shields, the brain giant's surface glowed red, and its entire body started to convulse and tremble, and an indescribable mental pressure shrouded everyone's heart.
The brain giant sensed danger in its sleep, and it was struggling in the dream, trying to wake up, but just like the sprites had said, the dreamer was deeply immersed in the dream, and its connection to the nightmare world was too tight that it could not return to the real world in a short period of time.
But the monster's struggle in the dream had caused a certain degree of feedback in the real world. Hao Ren noticed that there were unnatural fluctuations in the shadows of the giant pillars and crystal clusters around him, and something between illusion and reality was gradually taking shape in those fluctuations. Hao Ren, who had confronted Lockmarton in Collow, immediately knew what those things were.
"Watch the shadows around you!" He shouted. "The nightmare world is starting to leak. Monsters will come out from the shadows!"
After releasing the remaining droids and drones from his dimensional pocket, he shouted again. "Vivian, Big Guy, the three of us will work with Lily to attack the brain. The rest of you, deal with the nightmare creatures. Be careful, don't get tricked by the illusions!"
"Awooo!" A loud howl came from behind, and a powerful laser beam once again blasted the shield around the brain giant, but this time, the beam was clearly off, and the second half of the howl seemed to be mixed with confusion. Hao Ren quickly looked towards Lily's direction, and saw the silver-white husky twisting her body as if trying to shake off something dirty on her.
But there was nothing on her.
No, there was. Just as Hao Ren began to wonder what was on Lily, he saw some translucent gray mist suddenly appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Lily's limbs and even her neck. Lily in her giant husky form had an insane level of physical fitness, so the energy chains formed by the mist could not do much damage to her. But in her giant dog form, there was a natural limitation: Lily could not get rid of the mist as easily as a human could.
A chaotic, deep, oppressive voice that sounded like a murmur or a malicious whisper rang in everyone's mind. The voice was filled with cryptic vibrations and illogical words, but the meaning seemed to be directly imprinted in everyone's mind and could be understood. "Insignificant … Petty … Meaningless … I will awaken in the end, and all of you will fall. Your short struggle will only become your eternal nightmare …"
Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat. This was the second phase of the attack. The dreamer could not immediately awaken, but its thoughts could cross the boundary between reality and nightmare. This power could directly project itself into the real world, and even seep into the depths of everyone's mind. When it entered a half-conscious state, everyone would continuously hear the monster's whispers, and the hallucinations would become more frequent and obvious as the whispers continued.
But this was all within Hao Ren's expectations. After all, this was not the first time Hao Ren fought against a monster that wielded the power of nightmares. Compared to Lockmarton, the brain giant before him was not much better.
"Big guy! Attach the Soul Chain! " Vivian fired two Lightning Balls at Lily's head, jolting the latter awake. At the same time, she shouted at Y 'zaks. "Attach all of them to Hao Ren!"
Y 'zaks let out a' heh ', and countless green demonic runes appeared on the surface of his demonic body. Then, he raised his hand and unleashed the most powerful spell that demons were known to be evil.
Faint green chains appeared between everyone on the battlefield. As everyone was prepared, the Soul Chain locked onto everyone's soul without delay. The point of the chain was not Y 'zaks, the spellcaster, but Hao Ren, who was switching weapons.
The moment the Soul Chain connected to his body, Hao Ren put away his Gungnir and the inspector's gun. At the same time, he took out two pitch-black longswords that looked like cosmic fragments from his dimensional pocket.
A chattering voice rang in everyone's mind at the same time.
"Hey, hey, long time no see. I haven't shown my face for a long time … F * ck, why is there a fight out there again?! Blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and the battle cries are deafening. Have you guys gone to the Mad Lord's lair?! How many times have I said that fighting and killing won't solve the problem? Of course, it can solve the problem, but can't we think of a more civilized and gentle way? And what the hell is this place? It looks disgusting, and there are monster blood clots everywhere. If we put this on the screen, it will be cut down to the cast list … Hey? This time, my brother is also here! It's rare to see you, Hao Ren, draw both swords at the same time. Hey, bro, why aren't you talking? It's rare for us to come out for a breath of fresh air. Look at how lively this place is … "
"Oh."
The blabbering of the Godslayer reverberated in everyone's mind, and immediately drowned out the muttering of the brain giant. As the muttering grew louder, the hallucinations also disappeared.
Hao Ren held the two swords and gave the brain monster a provocative look.
The best way to deal with a lunatic was to find another lunatic and argue with it. This tactic could be summed up as a fight between two lunatics, and now it seemed that this solution was very effective.
Of course, the underlying mechanism of its effectiveness was much more impressive. To put it simply, the Godslayer had slashed the Mad Lord, stabbed the Goddess, created more than one epic event, and was even bitten by another Goddess. It was tasteless when it talked, but that did not affect its amazing level. So, in a fair battle of the mind, this thing could kill more than 40 giant brain monsters with just rap, and it could even do some crosstalk …
After all, the brain monster was not fully awake yet, and its strength was greatly reduced.
Lily had shaken off the illusion, and Doggoblast after Doggoblast bombarded the barrier around the brain monster, while Vivian and Y 'zaks' powerful magical bombardment followed closely behind. Hao Ren had to maintain the effect of the Godslayer and the stability of the soul link, so he could not participate in the attack himself. But the cannon he summoned was automatically firing at the pre-set target.
Under such continuous attacks, the barrier around the brain monster could not regenerate in time.
There was not much time left.
