I! Cleaner!

"Soon."

If he had heard Leon's question ten minutes ago, the tall and lanky man would have probably not even bothered to say a word. If he was upset, he would even say something sarcastic to relieve his stress.

But now he raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, looking up at the river of nightmares that was pouring into the night, and patiently explained:

"In the scope of the Black Abyss of Fallen Souls, the Nightmare King cannot be truly killed. It is considered a very cautious type among evil gods. In order to avoid being wiped out by the Bureau, it will generally not leave the range of the Black Abyss of Fallen Souls.

The black water of the Nightmare River can be regarded as an extension of the Black Abyss of Fallen Souls in another sense. As long as it does not leave the scope of the Nightmare River, it can be resurrected indefinitely even if it is killed.

According to the past records of the bureau, when the river of nightmares is completely spread out and provides him with a safe enough foothold, it will be the time for him to truly arrive. "

Wait for the river to open up?

After listening to Director Scorpio's explanation, Leon looked at the turbulent night sky above his head. He still didn't quite understand what level of "complete relaxation" meant. When he was about to continue asking, he suddenly realized that his hands and feet seemed to be slightly cold.

Immediately afterwards, large snowflakes suddenly appeared in the dark night sky where the king could not see the stars or the moon, and the river not far away began to freeze inexplicably.

"Attention, there are real elites coming down, and there are more than one."

After looking at the dry river next to him, for some reason, the tall and thin man with chapped lips frowned. Then he kicked open the box at his feet again, took out a token and held it in his hand. He frowned and thought about it. , and took out a crown with a carved dog's head, and carefully fastened it on his head.

"Woof!"

The cheerful dog barking sounded, and as Director Scorpio put the crown on the dog's head straight, a big dog with a crown of thorns on its head quietly appeared beside Leon.

"The nightmares this time are different from the previous ones. I may not be able to take care of you all the time."

He raised his sword again and pierced the throat of the pale doll, and after executing hundreds of dream creatures, the tall and thin man holding the token spoke and gave instructions:

"This dog is an abnormal object called [Hound of Thorns]. It can entrust part of my will. Please remember not to leave this dog's side. If I am haunted by the nightmare that comes down later... woof... Woof woof woof!”

Before Director Scorpio could finish his words, a pile of dry yellow sand filled with a strong aura fell on him along with the scorching breeze, turning his subsequent words into vague dog barking.

But Leon, who was only two steps away from him, suddenly felt a chill all over his body. A blast of cold air penetrated his heart and poured straight into his lungs along his nasal cavity, clearly outlining the positions of his internal organs. come out.

Immediately afterwards, the world in front of me suddenly changed. From the reception area beside the Royal Capital Canal Pier, it was suddenly replaced by a windy and snowy mountain trail. Except for the glaciers and mountain cols, there were only mountains torn to pieces by the wind and snow. branches of trees.

"Wow...if I get entangled, this dog can protect you temporarily. After the trouble over there is solved, I will come to find you."

After replacing Director Scorpio finished the second half of his words, the big dog with a crown of thorns on its head looked around, and then continued to speak:

"Be careful, this nightmare that comes to you should come from the folklore of the Ice Country. Those stupid people believe that the winter elf will transform into a beautiful woman with pale skin and seduce her during the coldest time of winter. The traveler went deep into the snow and was frozen to death in the mountains.

And the legend they believed in appeared in the dreams of countless people, and finally turned into this nightmare... In terms of strength, it has almost thirty Lyon points, and has already entered the level of a first-level cleaner. The threshold, please follow me closely and don't wander around, otherwise you may be in danger. "

"knew."

After rubbing his arms that were covered in goosebumps by the cold wind, Leon couldn't help but lean towards the big dog that exuded warmth, and then asked:

"Mr. Edward, what's going on over there? What's going on with these nightmares?"

"Wow... I also have nightmares of a similar level here, but there are six of them, including the Green Wave Sea Monster, the Human-Faced Forest Spirit, the Plague Girl, the Blood Jialan, the Swamp King Snake, and the Dune Giant Insect.

These six monsters should have been strengthened by the Nightmare King, and were specially used to hold me back. Instead of directly contacting me, the six of them opened up their corresponding nightmares, and then wandered around in deserts, oceans, swamps, and mountains. Stop and run. "

After telling what happened to him, the big dog raised his hind legs and scratched his chin. Then, while smelling Leon's scent with his nose, he continued to give instructions:

"The six-headed nightmares on my side are a bit troublesome. I don't know how the Nightmare King dealt with them. Maybe they were fed a lot of flesh and blood of the True God, which caused them to have some divinity in them, making them a little harder to kill.

Just hold on for a little longer, and when I find all six of them and kill them, I can break the dream they held up, and go over and kill you... Damn it! How can this bug run so well? "

"..."

If I guessed correctly, there should be no hope for him...

But it didn't matter. With my luck, it was impossible for me to get through the level without getting hurt by hugging my thigh. I never expected him to be reliable in the first place.

Looking at the big dog that suddenly left halfway through talking, scratched its itch on a dead tree, and then raised its hind legs to urinate, Leon couldn't help but sigh speechlessly, and then waited for it to finish peeing while observing the valley in front of him.

According to the known information, the snowy valley in front of him was a nightmare world that the Snow Girl relied on her own ability to support. In other words, he had been forcibly dragged into her dream.

However, although the Snow Girl was the master of the dream, she was a nightmare born in folklore after all, so she couldn't do whatever she wanted like herself, and she couldn't become Ultraman if she wanted to, or Saiyan if she wanted to. She had to abide by certain rules and stick to her own legend.

According to the legend of the Ice Country, she would not attack the traveler directly, but would stir up violent snowstorms, oppress the traveler's will with severe cold, and then use means such as deception to make the traveler take the initiative to step into the snowstorm and then be completely frozen to death.

As long as I can remember this, stay in the valley or somewhere else, and don't walk into the snow and wind, I'm unlikely to encounter fatal danger. Besides, there's Director Scorpio's dog...

Hmm... Speaking of dogs, where is the dog? Hasn't it finished peeing yet?

Also, why would I bring a dog with me into the mountains in the wind and snow? Isn't it better to stay at home in the warmth? Could it be... I'm actually a hunter? Oh, what's my name?
