“Stop” Olivia screamed in a fearful voice and was jolted awake, her heart racing, and her breath erratic as she emerged from the grips of one of the most terrifying nightmares she had ever experienced. Her body was drenched in cold sweat and she was still trembling.
“This time it took you ten minutes to break free huh” Suddenly Olivia heard a cold voice and her face lost all of its colour. The trembling of her body intensified and she turned around with a despair filled look.
When she turned around, her despair filled eyes met with the cold black eyes of Evan who was sitting on the head of Albelu and was looking at her with the same cold eyes.
“Let’s see how much time you will take this time” Evan said and five pitch black nails appeared in his hand.
—) Shadow Nails-: Using the power of the shadow you can create five cursed nails at a time that can immobilize the target’s body when it hits the target’s shadow. There is a 3% chance that the target will receive the Nightmare Curse after being immobilized by the Shadow Nail, and will fall into a Nightmare illusion. If the target’s soul-power is not strong enough he will not be able to leave the Nightmare Illusion and upon losing his life in illusion, he will lose his life in reality as well.
“Please no” Olivia’s heart pounded in her chest when she saw the nails as she pleaded with Evan, her voice trembling and her eyes filled with desperation. “Please, stop using your nightmare skill on me. I can’t take it anymore.”
Evan already used more than one hundred cursed spikes on her, and during this time nightmare illusion activated four times.
Olivia’s body shuddered just thinking about those nightmares. In the first nightmare, she was being burnt alive, in the second nightmare, some monsters were eating her alive by tearing her limbs apart. The other two nightmares were also equally horrifying for her.
Even though they were illusions and she successfully broke free from them, she could still feel the sensation of being burnt out alive and other horrifying experiences.
She was able to break free from the first nightmare illusion in around one minute. But it was getting harder and harder for her to break free from the nightmare illusions.
If she was in her prime condition, she could have broken free from the illusion in a matter of seconds. But after using that red liquid and being beaten down by Evan, she didn’t have much power left. Moreover, those nightmares are not normal and were damaging her soul bit by bit.
Using nightmare illusions Evan was slowly tearing apart her soul, giving her the most painful and horrifying death.
“If you want to kill me just kill me normally.”Olivia implored, her voice cracking. “please stop using your nightmare skill on me.”
Hearing Olivia, Evan’s face bore a cold and detached expression, seemingly unmoved by her distress. He waved his hand and threw five cursed nails towards her shadow.
“No” Olivia shouted, wanting to move away to dodge the nails, but her body was too weak and before she could move away the nails hit her shadow.
Just as the nails hit her shadow, Olivia’s body froze and she wasn’t able to move. Her face was filled with terror and she was looking at Evan with begging eyes.
Evan didn’t care about Olivia’s begging look and threw five more spikes when he saw the nightmare illusion didn’t activate.
When he created new nails, the five nails that he threw earlier disappeared and Olivia was able to move her body once again. But before she could even take a step back, Evan hit her shadow with five new shadow nails.
This time once again nightmare illusion didn’t activate, but Evan didn’t care and made five more nails.
This time when he hit her shadow with the nails, a notification appeared before him.
(Nightmare curse activated, your target will fall into a nightmare illusion)
Just as the notification appeared before Evan, Olivia felt her vision darkening and the next second she found herself inside a dark room.
Due to the Nightmare’s curse, her mind becomes hazy and she forgets that she is inside an illusion.
Inside the dark room, Olivia felt only one thing.
Hunger!
The hunger she felt was so intense that she thought she would die.
“Argh” Olivia grabbed her stomach and dropped to the ground while looking around the room with cloudy eyes.
“Food, I need food,” Olivia said in a hoarse voice. She dragged her body around the dark room looking for something to eat.
But the room was very small and there was nothing inside it.
“Arghh” Suddenly Olivia felt her hunger intensify and her desire to eat something increased by a hundredfold.
Even though she already searched the entire room, she still looked around wanting to find something to eat.
But the room was completely empty and she found nothing.
“Grughh” Olivia’s stomach growled and her grip around it tightened.
When she grabbed her stomach, her eyes landed on her hand. As she looked at her hand, a strange desire flashed in her eyes.
“Grughh” her stomach growled even more loudly and hunger started to take control of her mind.
Like she was in some kind of trance she brought her hand close to her mouth.
When her hand reached near her mouth, a ferocious expression appeared on her face and she bit off a large piece of the flesh of her hand and ate it.
As she bit off her hand, she felt a sharp pain coming from the depth of her soul. But along with the pain, she felt her hunger decrease a little bit.
Without caring about the pain, Olivia once again bit off a large chunk of her flesh and devoured it.
Evan sat on Albelu’s back staring at Olivia’s unmoving body.
After around twenty minutes suddenly the cursed nails stopping Olivia disappeared.
Just as the nails disappeared Olivia immediately dropped to her knees, her whole body shaking. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
She lifted her head with difficulty and saw Evan already had five more nails in his hand.
Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes, and her voice choked with emotion. “Please, I’m begging you, just kill me. I can’t take it anymore.”
Evan’s face did not change seeing this and he once again threw five nails towards her shadow.
“No,” Olivia shouted with a horror-filled look but soon found she can’t move once again because of the cursed nails.
Two days later…
Olivia was laying on the ground with hollow eyes, her face was stained with dry tears and snot and there was no expression on her face.
“Please kill me” “Please kill me” like a broken record she kept mumbling while looking at the starry sky.
Evan looked at her while still sitting on Albelu’s head. Seeing her hollow eyes and lifeless face he finally pointed one of his fingers at her, a black bullet formed at the tip of his finger and he shot it towards her, finally wiping away her life force.
