Jim felt a chill slither up his spine as he beheld an eye open on Cursed Doll’s forehead. It didn’t look like he was just imagining it.She released a burst of curse energy that came like a wave of dark shadow, completely sucking the life out of the grass on the ground as it traveled fast toward Jim.He immediately released golden energy out of his body, which not only shielded him from the cursed energy but even repelled it back.The cursed energy soon dispersed like vapor turning into thin air.Cursed Doll looked a bit befuddled. “W-What did you do? How did you stop my curse?”“You think I’d tell you how I did it? Don’t be silly,” Jim began to walk toward her. “However, I will tell you this much. It’s one thing to put on excess makeup, but it’s a whole different thing to put makeup on to look like a whole different person than what you really look like. Someone like you scrutinizes others but seldom examines themselves. As you are now, there’s no way for you to attain the power I h
A few minutes earlier.Nightmare_lily and Little Nightmare were dashing through the woods.“Why are we going there of all places?” Little Nightmare asked. “I don’t like vegetables and fruits.”“But that place will be peaceful right now,” Nightmare_lily said. “Just like you, most people on this floor don't prefer eating vegetables and fruits. So, they’ll avoid that building. Let us stay there and watch others fight among themselves. When they are done draining each other’s strength, that’s when we’ll step in and mess with them and grab all the gold they worked so hard to collect.”“Hahaha,” Little Nightmare laughed in excitement. “That’s your plan, huh. I like it. It’d be nice if we can get Jim this way, too.”“Mm…” Nightmare_lily also hoped that her little sister’s wish would also come true.Along the way, they came across some male villains. Some of them did not want to mess with Nightmare_lily and so went their way, but there were some who saw Little Nightmare as a handicap for Nigh
“Why the heck are they coming here?” Nightmare_lily was watching Jim and others fight the monster dogs.“We’re lucky, sis,” Little Nightmare excitedly said. “We can fight them and destroy them. The lawn around this building is perfect for fighting, too.”“Just shut up and wait here,” Nightmare_lily blurted. “Let’s see what happens for now. We’re sticking to our code. We won’t engage unless it’s necessary.”“Why are you still saying such things? Don’t tell me… you think that we won’t win against them?”“You idiot….” Nightmare_lily flicked her finger and hit her younger sister’s forehead. “Didn’t I tell you that no one can come to the third floor without Bloody Corpse’s permission? But look at them, there are seven of them. All of them are new faces. I’ve never heard of a group bigger than three coming to this floor before. I can understand if there were only three or even four of them, but seven? Nah, there’s definitely something bigger going on than what we’re aware of.” Nightmare_li
Little Nightmare happily squeezed Ace’s throat and loved seeing him make a painful expression.Joker was not able to shift between his transformations unless he spent at least one minute in every transformation, so he could only try to buy time by talking. “Don’t hurt him. He loves you.”“Huh?” Little Nightmare was a bit weirded out by his words. “What nonsense are you spouting?”“He always had a crush on you, Little Nightmare,” Joker added. “If you pull his pants down, you’ll see your name tattooed on his crotch.”“What the…” Little Nightmare’s eyes widened a bit. “Are you serious?” She then looked at Ace. “Is he telling the truth?”“Y-Yes,” Ace played along.Suddenly a knife came flying through the wall and pierced Joker’s shoulder. “Don’t listen to their crap, sis,” Nightmare_lily walked out of the kitchen, shocking Joker. “It’s been a while since we’ve met, Joker.”“L-Lily…” Joker was rather surprised to see her. “I should’ve known that you were the one helping Little Nightmare.”
Nightmare_lily was walking toward Jim who was down on one knee and was trying to channel the poison out of his mouth using his vivre. It was a very painful process. It made him feel as if his muscles might burst at any point.Ronny quickly ran over and stood in her path. “I can’t let you face him. You’ll need to go through me first if you want to touch him.”“You really want to die, huh…” Nightmare_lily waved her finger, taunting him to come at her. “So be it. I’ll grant your wish.”“I’m not as weak as you think!” Ronny growled and threw his punch with all he got. This time, black vapor burst out of his fist, startling her.Nightmare_lily immediately jumped back, but part of the shockwave still struck her and vibrated her body. “This is…” she frowned. “Demonic energy… Why does a survivor have demonic energy? That shouldn’t be possible.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I eat one egg every day,” Ronny shouted, “so everything is possible for me, bitch!” He lunged forth and d
“Everybody who said they wanted to kill me is no longer among the living,” Jim replied. “If you want to go meet them as well, then you can come at me.”Nightmare_lily didn’t attack him but observed him. (How is he able to resist such a strong poison? His vivre shouldn’t be capable of protecting from all types of poisons, but I can’t deny what I’m seeing. Does it have something to do with his golden aura?)“What’s wrong? Having second thoughts about meeting the dead?” Jim taunted her and coughed some more blood.“Hmph,” Nightmare_lily smirked rather pridefully. “Do you know why they call me a nightmare? Because I can literally give them nightmares.” She wielded her wind sword with both hands and slashed at Jim.This time, Jim didn’t see or even feel any attack coming in his direction.But all the world around him turned into an apocalyptic world where Jim was being attacked by zombies that looked like Rena, Shiny, and everybody he knew, including his mom and dad. It was a horrifying,
Jim closed his eyes, and it helped him feel every presence around him all the more sharply.He still wasn’t breathing, and the vivre in him was helping his heart beat and muscles feel alive.“Be as water,” he told himself.As seconds passed, his senses utterly calmed down and became still like a lake in a windless zone.Suddenly, he felt a disturbance. A sharp spark in the space, and it made him react instinctively. He threw out a punch.BAM~!Jim’s fist and Nightmare_lily’s sword clashed, astonishing her greatly. But at the same time, Jim’s fist didn’t really block her sword but only deflected it so that his fist went on to strike the opponent.Jim’s fist landed in Nightmare_lily’s shoulder, dislocating it instantly, making her cry out. She roughly crashed back on the ground. Jim’s fist once again came down at her face this time, looking like a large boulder.Her eyes widened, and she immediately rolled to the side, even though rolling hurt like hell because of her dislocated shoulde
As Love Bullet looked at her with a horrified expression, Little Nightmare hatefully pulled the whip. “Severance Song!”Love Bullet was so shocked by it she didn’t even scream, even though she imagined her neck blowing into bits and separating her head from the rest of the body.However, someone grabbed the thorny whip and stopped the sound wave from reaching the end and blasting Love Bullet’s neck off.It was none other than Ronny. His hand somehow absorbed the sound wave, and it looked like it gave him some energy.“What the…” Little Nightmare looked more than a bit baffled because her attack was completely nullified. She saw the black shade that appeared on Ronny’s hand. It pulled the metal thorns on her whips. “You… that magnetic material… Did you integrate graphene into your body?”“Graphene? What the heck is that?” Ronny looked clueless.“So you didn’t know?” Little Nightmare couldn’t tell if he was lying or not. “That thing is very dangerous. You are going to get powerful becau
