Chapter 148: Nightmare’s Caution!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although this group of scattered crowd was very powerful, in terms of collective consciousness, they could not compare to trained warriors at all.
To Chen Kun, these people were just a group of a powerful motley crowd.
As Chen Kun’s massacre progressed, fewer and fewer people were surrounded by the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Their strategy also changed from killing Chen Kun to escaping from the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Now, they refused to mention that Chen Kun had insulted them.
They did not think that Chen Kun was too arrogant at all.
They even shouted at Chen Kun to be more arrogant and he should open the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and chased after them one by one.
Killing them in such an environment was no true ability.
However, although Chen Kun was polluted by Nightmare’s emotions, his mind still had the last trace of clarity.
It was not completely tainted.
Although Chen Kun’s current behavior looked like he had completely lost control, it was actually a way to vent.
It was just like a person who often erupted with emotions and would not hold it in to sulk, and a person who consumed all his emotions himself.
Secondly, the former’s lifespan would always be much longer than the latter’s.
The probability of falling sick was also much lower with the former.
Once the emotions were not released, they would accumulate more and more in their hearts.
In the end, it would become a lesion.
However, as long as it was expressed, it would be extremely effective.
Chen Kun was in this state.
If Chen Kun hadn’t met Luo Hun and the others when he came out and hadn’t vented his emotions, he might have been completely tainted by Nightmare.
With Luo Hun and his group, Chen Kun had a target to vent his emotions on.
Otherwise, Chen Kun might have been completely tainted by Nightmare.
At that time, Chen Kun, whose mind had been completely tainted, would completely lose his rationality. It wouldn’t be difficult for Nightmare to possess him.
Nightmare was waiting for Chen Kun to completely lose his mind.
When Chen Kun killed everyone in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, he lost control.
However, the longer Chen Kun delayed, the greater the power of fear the Nightmare absorbed, and the stronger the Nightmare became.
The stronger the Nightmare was, the more cruel methods Chen Kun needed to torture these people if he wanted to lengthen the time.
It was just to buy some time and give Chen Kun a solution to the problem.
Simply put, Chen Kun had fallen into an almost unsolvable cycle.
If Chen Kun didn’t want to be possessed by the Nightmare, he had to vent his emotions and torture them.
However, the more he tortured them, the greater the fear that Nightmare could absorb, and the harder it was for Chen Kun to deal with Nightmare.
Chen Kun knew this, and so did Nightmare.
Because Nightmare knew, so it didn’t say anything else when Chen Kun started to kill those people. It was afraid that Chen Kun would do something else that would cause its possession to fail.
Although Nightmare couldn’t think of any other way that Chen Kun could use to stop it from possessing him, it was still very cautious.
Hence, Nightmare hadn’t said a word until now.
It tried its best to reduce its presence.
Chen Kun was the best human it had discovered so far.
If it hadn’t plotted against Chen Kun with this move, it really wouldn’t have been able to defeat Chen Kun.
Hence, it was extremely careful.
It was afraid that Chen Kun would be enraged and self-destruct. Wouldn’t that be a waste?
It would never celebrate before something was done.
It would rather celebrate in front of the enemy’s grave when there was no one around. It did not want to cause both sides to suffer when the enemy was alive.
Being careful was the most important reason why it could survive until now.
The only risky decision it had made in its life was to stay in the 20th checkpoint until now.
It had also paid a heavy price. Everything it had accumulated previously was gone, leaving only its soul.
If it didn’t possess Chen Kun, it would have nothing.
Nightmare didn’t want anything to go wrong when it came to its life and death.
Finally, Chen Kun completely crippled the last person.
At this moment, the thousands of people lying in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had all become crippled.
However, their Diamond-level strength did not allow them to die immediately.
To be precise, if Chen Kun did not continue to use cruel methods on them, they could even rely on their self-healing ability to completely recover.
However, Chen Kun would never let them off just like that.
Ignoring everyone’s cries for help, Chen Kun took out his knife and walked towards everyone with a smile.
At this moment, in Chen Kun’s eyes, the fear emitted by everyone was almost tangible.
This made Chen Kun and Nightmare extremely excited.
Chen Kun moved very quickly and dug out pieces of flesh from their heads.
Chen Kun’s knife circulated very skillfully and stopped on each of them for no more than a second.
As Chen Kun operated, the fear present decreased until it disappeared.
Finally, Nightmare couldn’t help but ask.
“What did you do? These people are clearly not dead. Why aren’t they afraid anymore??”
From the Nightmare’s point of view, it saw that after Chen Kun dug out their brains, the expressions of the terrified crowd completely calmed down.
Their consciousness was still there, but they could not reveal any fear.
They were like the living dead. However, these people’s consciousness was still there, but they would not be afraid.
Moreover, Nightmare could sense that other than not being afraid, these people seemed to be missing something.
However, it was not sure yet.
“Hahahaha, why can’t you absorb fear?”
“Isn’t that simple? Of course I don’t want you to absorb it. Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Chen Kun took a small knife and slowly peeled off the flesh of the person lying on the ground in front of him, slowly turning him into a skeleton.
During this process, that person would still wail in pain, but there was no fear or pain at all.
He did not even beg for mercy.
It was as if the wailing was just a preset condition!
To Nightmare, this scene was no different from a horror movie!
Was a person who would not have any emotional fluctuations no matter how he was tortured still human?
Even monsters and irrational ferocious beasts would feel fear when they were tortured like this.
However, these people that Chen Kun was torturing would not have any emotions at all!
This was completely abnormal.
This should not happen to any creature.
He should be afraid. He should beg for mercy. He should be afraid!
It can’t be like this!
It must be this person’s problem!
Nightmare comforted itself.
Because if that was not the case, combined with what Chen Kun had said just now, he did it on purpose.
Wouldn’t that mean that Chen Kun could mass-produce people who wouldn’t be afraid?
