The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Deal with Nocturne

Tai Long climbed over the high wall and returned to Lothar. Although he was a little shocked to see the scene of the mighty ghost cavalry fighting with the giant spider, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked Lothar first: ” how is the situation”

“Why do you smell like urine?” Lothar pinched his nose and frowned at Tyrone.

Tai Long took a step back consciously.

“To put it simply, we fell for it.” Lothar placed Elise’s body on the bed made of surging black mist. “She is indeed a nightmare, but it’s not Darius’s.”

“How could this be?” Tai Long didn’t understand.

“Do you still remember the forest we saw when we just entered the dream tonight?” Lothar looked at Elise’s ruined face and said, “I felt something was wrong at the time, that scene lasted too long, like a dream We will not stay in a scene for too long, we should be dragged into a dream within a dream at that time.”

“No wonder…” Samira suddenly realized, “I just said what Darius and Cuilleta have been doing for so long.”

“What to do?” Tai Long asked.

“Ahem, it’s not important.” Lothar covered Samila’s mouth, lest the big mouth would reveal everything about the lake. “The important thing is that we have to get out of this dream now.”

“It’s better to just go out.” Samira pushed Lothar away.

“It’s not that simple.” Lothar raised his forehead, and he pointed to Elise, “Although the owner of the dream in this dream has not been completely swallowed by the nightmare, Darius doesn’t know. If we rush from this dream The dream returns to Darius’ dream, if he has been completely eroded by the nightmare, we will be killed by the nightmare as soon as we enter.”

“Is that an exaggeration?” Samira didn’t quite believe it. “Aren’t you very strong?”

“No matter how strong it is, can it defeat the omnipotent god?” Lothar rolled his eyes, “If the nightmare completely controls Darius, it will be an invincible existence in Darius’ dream, and anyone who goes there will be invincible.” It’s death, as long as it wants to, it can turn us into chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.”

“Can’t we just go back to reality?” Tai Long asked.”No, we came in from Darius’ dream, and we must first go through Darius’ dream before returning to reality.” Lothar vetoed this proposal.

Samira became impatient: “This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, you have an idea.”

“The first priority now is to confirm whether Darius has been swallowed by the nightmare.” Lothar said, “As long as he is not swallowed, it will be fine, but if he is swallowed, we can’t return to his dream .”

“Then how do we know?” Tai Long asked again.

Lothar turned his gaze to behind him, and opened the black mist cage behind him, revealing a dark body with two arms as blades, firmly bound by chains made of black mist.

“Let me introduce, this guy is the creator of all nightmares.” Lothar looked at the demon in front of him, “Nocturne.”

“This is… a creature.” Samira was amazed at Nocturne’s appearance. “It looks really weird. Does it look like this in reality or is it so strange in a dream.”

“You’d better pray that you don’t meet it again.” Lothar walked up to Nocturne and asked, “Have you already devoured Darius?”

“Why should I tell you?” Nocturne’s voice was still so harsh, “You are already trapped here, and you will all become my food.”

“It looks like this guy has a tough mouth.” Samira took out a pistol, “Do you want me to come? I’m very good at torture.”

“It’s not human, your tricks are useless.” Lothar thought for a moment, then said to Samira and Tyrone, “Go and help deal with that spider, these ghost troopers are all my people, don’t be afraid of them attacking you, I will speak with Nocturne alone.”

Samira frowned displeasedly: “Is there anything we can’t listen to?”

“At least it won’t do you any good to hear it.” Lothar blocked Samira’s words, and then entered the black mist cage alone, and sealed it again.

“Tch, always so mysterious.” Samira kicked Hei Wu very dissatisfied, “Tell us that we will die?”

“Maybe he really is for our own good.” Tai Long said in a deep voice, “It’s better not to know some things, especially for people like us who can only be used as weapons.”

“Don’t compare me to you! You piss pot!” Samira glared at Tai Long fiercely, “I am not anyone’s weapon! I am me! No one can control me!”

After finishing speaking, Samira ignored Tyrone and went to fight the giant spider with a gun.

Tai Long looked at Samira’s back and didn’t go with her. He knew his own strength. He was better at assassination or fighting in a narrow space. The blade martial arts he practiced were more suitable for dealing with humans instead of giant monsters. It doesn’t make much sense for him to go to the battlefield.

“Do you think you are not a weapon…” Tai Long stared at Samira’s back, “But don’t you still listen to him and fight…”

…

Lothar clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at Nocturne’s chaotic face, who didn’t know what his expression was: “You have cooperated with Black Rose.”

“No one can cooperate with me.” Although imprisoned, Nocturne did not show any weakness at all, “Your failure is already doomed.”

“Since Black Rose didn’t cooperate with you, why did Elise’s dream appear in Darius’ dream?” Lothar asked, “Without your help, how could Black Rose have such control over dreams?”

“You can’t ask anything.” Nocturne’s tone was devoid of emotion, “Your failure is already doomed.”

Lothar was silent for a while, and said, “Is it because of Rorschach?”

Nocturne broke free from the restraints violently, and pierced Lothar’s body with his double blades.

Lothar let the blade penetrate, and then bound Nocturne with the chain of black mist. With a strong spirit body and the ability to summon black mist, he was extremely difficult to kill: “Why? Hearing this name, he was out of breath?”

“Don’t say his name.” Nocturne’s voice became fluctuating.

“Are you scared or nervous?” Lothar grabbed Nocturne’s sharp blade, “Or is this name your nightmare?”

Nocturne broke free again, and the sharp blade penetrated into Lothar’s body: “Shut up!”

“It’s ironic.” Lothar didn’t stop thinking at all, “How about the demon of the nightmare actually having nightmares himself? Can you let me visit your dream?”

“I want to make you suffer forever!” Nocturne roared out of control, “I want to let you experience the nightmare of all living beings! Let you fall into the abyss forever! Fall into purgatory forever!”

“You are so afraid of Rorschach.” Lothar continued to stimulate Nocturne. “You should really look at your current appearance. It’s so funny. If I dreamed of you, I would probably wake up laughing instead of being frightened.”

“Kill you! Kill you!” Nocturne seemed to be broken, cursing Lothar frantically in various languages.

“I can help you.” Lothar said suddenly after mocking.

Nocturne became quiet.

Lothar looked at Nocturne: “I can help you with Rorschach. You should also know the relationship between Rorschach and me. That’s what Laxana called me when I was in Fossbarrow. You should Did you forget?”

Nocturne listened quietly.

“Let me leave the dreamland, and I’ll help you.” Lothar made a condition. “I don’t know what kind of deal Black Rose made with you, but in this matter, only I can help you.”

The darkness that made up Nocturne squirmed.

“I’ve also made deals with other demons.” Lothar said with a smile, “Tam Kench, you know? You should be familiar with him. I still have a contract with him, and I have a deal with him.”Yi, you can’t afford it…or rather, you have no choice. ”

Nocturne was silent for a long time, and then slowly pulled out his double blades.

“A wise decision.” Lothar laughed.
