Annan felt something was wrong at first.

This nightmare is ridiculously difficult, and if you are not careful, you will die, and without warning;

While it is full of difficult "mechanical kills", it also has to go through a long process of walking simulator that looks like it is deliberately burning point cards, and only adds a very small amount of erosion with each death.

It's like a fine score.

It looks like he's going to kill someone who has gone into a nightmare......

Its fairytale-like parts are desperately screaming and forcing others to escape.

And it dies so often that it can't be kicked out after a few deaths......

- The essence of this contradiction is that the "compassionate" part and the "vicious" part are really controlled by two people!

The reason why the Twisted Nightmare is called Twisted Class is because of its "special properties".

For example, [Re-enactment], such as [Memories], such as [Dreams], such as [Cobwebs].

The Elemental Power is a transcendent power from the Void. And the special nature is the transcendent power of the dream world, which is the opposite.

Ordinary nightmares draw curses from killing mortals, and can gradually become difficult with easy moves; Even if left unchecked, it will gradually expand to a difficult level.

But the hard level must kill enough and powerful transcendents to become a twisted level.

Because it lacks special properties. Special properties can only be transformed by the power of the deceased's elements.

The special nature of nightmares is the special power that nightmares use to invade and transform the world. Only nightmares with special properties can become power after being purified by the transcendent of the Golden Rank.

In order to progress, the Nightmare must possess special properties...... But it is not enough to have special properties.

Because the concentration of the power of the curse is not enough.

Why is the durability of man-made nightmares so low, while the durability of nightmares from natural death is so high?

Because "durability" is the "material" that creates nightmares!

The experience required to level up is not something that comes out of nowhere...... The dead man's nightmare durability is due to the fact that he is truly dead. Most of the curses of the soul turn into nightmares.

And the curse required for an artificial nightmare is to be paid by the "craftsman" himself.

The higher the durability, the more curses will be spent. There is only a little enduring nightmare, which means that it is an empty shell, a condensed curse inside—and that is a testament to the craftsmanship.

There is no doubt that Alice could not have the power of the elements.

Her mother was just an ordinary silver rank.

At the beginning of this nightmare, I am afraid that it only had the "cobweb" characteristic.

As soon as you enter the nightmare, you will go directly to the Spore Mill.

Inside the mill, there is an infinite cycle of death – you will die if you touch anything, you will die if you stand differently, and there is no safety point. Dying once is definitely more than 1% more erosive...... It's about how much you can go up.

Like the malevolent cat version of Mario's designer, Grover's only purpose is to kill him.

His purpose was to "hunt".

The ritual that makes up the "Nightmare: Spore Mill" is also considered the poison of the spore given by the Black Widow.

It wasn't the lumberjacks or the Alice family who really wanted to sacrifice.

- Rather, the transcendents who tried to purify this nightmare, but were hunted!

They die from the erosion of too high - if the transcendent dies in a nightmare, they do not produce a new nightmare, but are completely consumed by the nightmare of killing themselves. It's like "Nightmare: The Gallery".

This soul is the "proof of poisoning", the trophy he gave to Black Widow!

Who would have thought that this nightmare was manipulated and deliberately killed to get a curse – or "experience"?

On the surface, it is a difficult nightmare, but it has special properties that only a difficult "twisted" nightmare can have!

And it's the hardest kind!

After murdering many transcendents, he received a great deal of curse power from the souls of transcendents. Alice's share as the core of the nightmare alone advanced it to a twisted nightmare.

This is certainly something that Grover does not want.

Because it has become a distorted level, it means that the number of silver-level transcendents who will come to challenge this nightmare has been greatly reduced; The possibility of being defeated by a real strong man has increased.

Also, Nightmares gives birth to their own traits at the Advanced.

- Alice's Dream.

According to Nefertari's account, this nightmare had killed many people at the difficult level. Among them, there are also high-ranking transcendents - at that time, I am afraid that if you die once, the erosion will increase by 10% or more.

This allows it to be sealed directly after it becomes a distorted level. No one dared to challenge it anymore.

But if a survivor entered again, he would be surprised to find out...... The content of the nightmare has changed dramatically.

Alice casts the Nightmare into the forest, stretching their path and prolonging their one-time death to prevent them from entering the mill before dawn.

Her purpose is to stall for time.

After becoming Twisted, both Alice and Grover have some control over Nightmares. And Alice's authority is significantly lower than that of Grover.

But within the scope of her ability, she has been trying to intercept the people who enter the nightmare!

The goal was to keep them from reaching the mill!

As Alice said.

[Bystanders are no different from evildoers, and they should be spurned]

In the beginning, she didn't mean anyone else.

It's yourself.

- She will never allow herself to stand by while others do evil!

This land at the feet of Annan.

This narrow land of less than 10 square meters ...... It's the island that Alice does her best to protect.

"Hey."

Annan raised his head and looked at the huge spider that was poisoning the land at Annan's feet in the open.

Groover glanced at him at Annan, and then went back to his work.

It is the manifestation of the "cobweb", and naturally cannot enter the realm that belongs to the "fantasy".

The moment you pass by, you may become a harmless fairy tale creature.

- But Alice is not a transcendent in her own right.

The power she holds is incomparably weak.

Although she was still alive before she was made into a nightmare.

Just like the hint of the little bear.

Limbs are severe, abdomen hollowed out - filled with spores, nightmares with the deepest resentment of the dying.

Naturally, this will not live long.

Shortly after the nightmare, she died.

As an ordinary person, she can't stay awake in nightmares. It's the same even in your own nightmares.

But even a vague will has an instinct to "never sit idly by."

Like a candle in the wind.

Clumsy, subtle, pitiful flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Grover didn't bother to pay attention to her because even the person killed by Alice would become his strength...... As long as Alice doesn't drive people away openly, it's only a matter of efficiency for him.

There is no need to destroy "Alice".

This is not the only hunting ground for him.

Lure transcendents who don't know the truth to send them to death, and an endless supply of automatic killing mechanisms that produce "food" will end naturally if they are purified once. No hands or feet will be left behind, no evidence will be left.

But now it's different.

[Do you want to protect him]

The spider squirmed and laughed.

The earth was already oozing dark green light.

But Annan could hear it clearly...... The ridicule is a good hiding of fear and jealousy.

He knew the feeling all too well.

It's like the feeling of a murderer who longs for peace, and his identity is about to be revealed......

- Grover was scared.

Under Annan's piercing eyes, he was afraid.

【Let's die here】

The spider screamed.

Near the edge of the cobweb, it has begun to melt and collapse.

[You won't wake up]

[What a good ending]

[What a gentle and happy death]

What spreads at Annan's feet is a fierce poison that can kill even the illusory concepts of "earth" and "dreams".

Click.

Annan slowly opened the insurance.

If a spider could laugh, it would laugh out loud.

[What can you do with your poor pistol?] 】

"You don't have silver coins or gold dust"

[There is no such thing as a quantity of 7 here, and there are no other people]

[No burning charcoals, no cups, and no moths]

[You don't have any rituals, no magic to use]

[You might as well come out, if you can, I don't want to destroy "Alice"]

[You better jump into the abyss, you will die in ignorance]

"It's really verbose."

Annan slowly raised his head.

Eye contact with the spider that has returned to the Eight Eyes.

The corners of his mouth went up: "What are you afraid of?"

"Yes...... Afraid of me? ”

Annan withdrew his left hand from his bosom.

It was indeed empty, holding nothing.

All he had in his pocket was a pitiful knife.

"If I die here, I'm really dead......

"—if you die here, will you die too?"

The corners of Annan's mouth became more and more open.

He wanted to laugh, he wanted to laugh so badly.

But there was not the slightest smile in his eyes.

This is......

Am I angry?

I'm angry.

So Annan spoke.

He uttered words that are difficult for humans to spit out and cannot understand:

"...... term 'winter' was born before the four seasons were born, and even more so before the birth of light and fire."

The moment his words landed.

The process of "poison" eroding the "earth" was stopped.

Because at this moment—

Earth, spiders, cobwebs—everything you see, in the blink of an eye, is covered in silent snow.
