CHAPTER 1778: CHAPTER 859: LEGENDARY ARCANE—RAEF’S WOVEN MYSTLOCK

When these Terror Demons took shape, five of them immediately moved closer together, entwining their tentacles and huddling together, constantly squeezing each other, constantly absorbing more emotions of fear and despair. A dazzling magic aura flashed, and when the light contracted.

The five Terror Demons had already merged into one, their size swelling more than double, with a diameter exceeding two meters. This was a bona fide high-level Terror Demon, yet it was still less than a third the size of a Terror Demon Lord.

For a Terror Demon Lord, this was purely a pleasant surprise.

Its recent roar wasn’t aimed at those Laiserman people; they were mere collateral damage.

Its true target was the Mist Portal, which was the summoning roar. Accompanied by violent fluctuations, Terror Demons with sizes comparable to high-level Terror Demons emerged from it, numbering no less than ten. This was an unmistakable Terror Demon Army.

It’s important to note that each high-level Terror Demon has a minimum challenge rating of fifteen. Just one can cause chaos in a region of the Material Plane.

Let alone appearing in hordes like this, under the leadership of an even more powerful Terror Demon Lord. Even the Dushan Witch felt overwhelmed.

These creatures seem to be born for the Nightmare Dream Realm. If such a group existed, her Nightmare Dream Realm would live up to its name.

There would be no need for those Nightmare Creatures to engage in deception and illusion techniques, luring those Laiserman people out of their safehouses. They could simply use fear and despair to control them.

But the problem is, they were not Terror Demons actively bred by the Nightmare Dream Realm but a group of invaders treating the Nightmare Dream Realm as their new hunting ground.

Their suppressive force here doesn’t need much explanation.

The Nightmare Creatures she relied on were mere fodder in front of them and would be forcibly drained of their emotions of despair and fear, becoming ordinary souls.

Most importantly, the instigator remained outside the Nightmare Dream Realm. Who knows what strange and unusual methods the opponent had prepared, waiting for her.

"Kill them all." The Dushan Witch had no choice but to use her trump card.

The Nightmare Shadow Tree appeared from nothing, gradually emerging. Countless specters, shadows, and nightshadows swarmed down like birds leaving their nests, launching an attack on the Terror Demon Army and the Dark Callers.

This Shadow Army, which had been maintained for over eight centuries, was her true foundation.

Earlier, it was through them that she managed to temporarily suppress the Earth Spirit Witch’s Totem Lands, corrupt it, and then control her to transfer her Totem Lands to the Nightmare Shadow Tree, achieving her goal of corruption.

Success was achieved.

However, the strength of this army was mostly depleted, making it difficult to wield easily.

This was why she took such a risk, eager to enter Mosantiel City to reap a large number of Laiserman souls.

Only this way could she redeem her Shadow Army from the Nightmare Shadow Tree, making them a help rather than a burden.

The arrogance of the Terror Demon Army weakened significantly in front of the Dushan Witch’s Shadow Army and was chased across the city.

Their extreme appearance and abilities gave them absolute lethality among ordinary creatures, as long as they were emotional beings, they were easy to fall victim to and be controlled.

But it was quite ineffective against ghost shadows, as these undead knew nothing of fear.

After their most powerful tactics were restrained, relying only on bites and tentacle strikes significantly reduced their damage capacity.

While the ghost army was not much better off, their negative energy attacks also struggled to penetrate the formidable magic resistance of high-level Terror Demons, delivering the expected corrosive damage. However, their form was relatively adept at close combat.

Only the Winged Nightshadow barely had an advantage in speed, while the rest could only chase after the Terror Demons.

Conversely, the Dark Callers demonstrated considerable lethality against the Shadow Army. Their psychic magic spells bombarded these spiritual bodies with precise targeting.

After defeating them, they eagerly devoured and converted them into parts of themselves.

Compared to the Nightmare Creatures, the Shadow Army was the best nourishment for the Dark Callers. Swallowing one substantially increased their strength.

After all, the Nightmare Creatures were mostly former ordinary Laiserman people, with relatively limited soul consciousness strength.

Whereas, the Dushan Witch’s Shadow Army started at least with five Life Dice just to begin.

While the Terror Demon Army and the Shadow Army were entangled in an intense struggle, on the other side, the allied forces of Laiserman Berserkers and Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers began showing overwhelming momentum against the Nightmare Monster Army.

Both sides had already entered the fiercest street battle state in reality, and this brutal close combat was most likely to result in massive casualties.

All souls of the fallen were forcibly absorbed into the Nightmare Dream Realm for another nightmare war.

Enemies who were battling to the death now had to become joint allies, fighting together against the Nightmare Creatures.

Dushan Witch was indeed an ally of the Golden Tent Army, but only the high command of the Golden Tent Army knew. They had no time to inform the lower soldiers in time.
