Chapter 301: Seven-Eyed Level Nightmare Calamity!
Chapter 301. Seven-Eyed Level Nightmare Calamity!
Seeing the black-dressed woman in a daze, the middle-aged butler shook his head and said lightly:
“The Golden Sparrows will not force anyone. However, Ms. Mu, are you sure you want to give up this hard-earned opportunity?”
“Your Excellency, please return,” the black-dressed woman said with a polite smile.
“Since Ms. Mu is so insistent,” the middle-aged butler smiled and got up, “then I can only express my regret.”
This young noblewoman didn’t know how to seize Lord Corvis’s affection and favor, so there was nothing more to say.
The middle-aged butler led his subordinates and quickly left the house. To Xia Feng’s surprise, they didn’t outright abduct the woman as he had imagined.
Through the Eye of Deconstruction, Xia Feng saw the group leaving. The middle-aged butler raised his wrist, and a light projection of a youth around thirty years old reappeared.
The middle-aged butler said in a deep voice, “Lord Vais, she refused.”
“Refused?”
The youth was somewhat surprised, but then chuckled and shook his head, “Fine. I’ve already given this woman one chance, but unfortunately, she didn’t seize it. Come back, the plan can begin.”
As they spoke, the group boarded a helicopter and quickly ascended.
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong withdrew their gazes.
“Miss Mu, what do you think these people are trying to do?”
The black-dressed woman, sitting on the sofa, stirred her coffee with a spoon and said softly:
“According to the information I received, three days ago, a large-scale Calamity Realm invasion incident occurred in a university town in Area 43. Yesterday, a small-scale Calamity Realm invasion also occurred in the core university town of Area 32. Two hours ago, a large-scale cataclysm occurred in the central urban area of Area 31.”
“Good heavens, there was all that?” Xia Feng’s expression was slightly surprised. He had been on vacation at the hotel these past few days, but he had also been paying attention to online news and hadn’t seen any related disaster information.
The Human Empire’s territory was vast, and it was impossible to guarantee the safety of all regions. Under normal circumstances, a major region would experience one or two small-scale disaster invasion incidents every ten years, which would be handled by the Holy Department of that region.
Only if they couldn’t resolve it would they request support from the nearby military region.
Under normal circumstances, almost all Nightmare Clans existing within the Empire accidentally fell into the Empire’s Real World from alternate timelines, which was an unconventional way of entering. This method of entry could not be replicated.
In most cases, the level of calamities appearing in the Empire would not exceed Seven-Eyed Level, and the scope of the resulting disasters would not be too large, not considered large-scale.
Only those that could make it to the trending headlines would be classified as large-scale invasions.
Now, with several incidents occurring consecutively within three days, it was easy to associate this with… Nightmare Clan invasion? Is the second full-scale war between humans and Nightmare Clans about to begin?
However, upon closer thought, it wasn’t quite right.
The Nightmare Clan’s preferred method of waging war was always blitzkrieg tactics, attacking on multiple fronts simultaneously. Currently, three days with three consecutive disaster invasion incidents was not that fast.
“So, you mean a disaster invasion will also occur in Music City soon?”
“It’s just a guess.”
“I feel like you’re probably right.” Xia Feng looked up at the sky outside. The sense from the Calamity Demon Heart was getting clearer, as if a vast Calamity Force was hovering over the entire city.
“Then what do we do now?” Xia Feng asked, turning back.
The two black-dressed women each poured a cup of coffee and looked up with a light smile, “We’ll deal with it as it comes.”
“.You’re not worried at all,” Xia Feng grumbled. He casually took a cup of coffee and took a sip, then choked.
“Ptooey! It’s so bitter.”
The black-dressed woman put a few rock candies into his cup and said softly, “Mr. Xia, after considering for so many days, have you decided what gift you want?”
Gift? Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mu Qingtong was referring to the wishable gift from the Fate Stone.
Previously, in White Emperor City, after the Fate Stone absorbed a wisp of the Destruction Star God’s divine power, it gained a large amount of Life Force Value. Mu Qingtong said she could convert the Life Force Value into a Spirit Material to give to him.
However, Xia Feng had never thought of what he wanted.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Feng blinked and said, “Ahem, speaking of which, can I ask for a Manifestation Trace?”
He already had two Manifestation Traces, and he didn’t know where to find the third.
Of the three Holy Solution Materials, Manifestation Traces were the rarest. Encountering even one was very fortunate. If the Fate Stone could directly grant it, it would save him a lot of effort.
However, he felt it was unlikely.
“Yes.”
“Ah?” Xia Feng was slightly surprised, “Really? Is the Life Force Value enough?”
“There are currently 8708 points of Life Force Value in total. Consuming a little more than half should be enough to obtain one Manifestation Trace.”
“A little more than half?” Xia Feng’s gaze was slightly suspicious, “Aren’t you going to make a wish yourself?”
The black-dressed woman leaned lazily against the bar, supporting her chin with her delicate hand, a light smile on her lips, “If Mr. Xia really wants it, it’s not a big deal for me to suffer a little.”
“…” The woman’s beautiful eyes curved, gazing quietly at him. Xia Feng’s right eyelid twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to look away, but he held back.
Xia Feng’s black eyes met hers calmly. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, “Let’s save it for now. After I collect the Water Obsidian, if I still haven’t encountered a Manifestation Trace, I’ll ask for your help again.”
After all, Life Force Value was very precious and could be used to wish for anything. There was no need to consume it immediately.
Besides, he didn’t know when he would be able to absorb divine power again. If it wasn’t necessary, it was better to keep it.
“Alright.”
The black-dressed woman’s eyes curved slightly, and she said softly, “I’ll listen to Mr. Xia.”
“?” Xia Feng couldn’t get used to Mu Qingtong looking at him so gently. “.Ms. Mu, can you be normal?”
“Am I not normal?”
“You’re not normal.”
The black-dressed woman’s gaze returned to its usual calm coldness, and she smiled lightly, “Mr. Xia, would you be more comfortable if I glared at you fiercely and cursed at you?”
“Eh, you can understand it that way,” Xia Feng smiled.
Mu Qingtong glanced at him. Just as she was about to say something more, she suddenly turned her head to look out the window as if sensing something.
“They’re here.”
Because of the Calamity Demon Heart, Xia Feng knew about the arrival of the crisis before Mu Qingtong. His expression changed slightly, and he directly embraced the waists of the two black-dressed women and entered the Holy Knight Space.
It was like being placed in a transparent glass cabinet, with a four-sided space barrier enclosing the three of them.
At this time, the Spirit Song Competition was just drawing to a close, and the audience was about to leave.
Buzz—
An invisible ripple swept from an unknown location, instantly engulfing the audience in the entire venue. Tens of thousands of people froze, their gazes becoming hollow, and they fell to the ground one row after another.
The eyes of those who fell flickered with red asterisk symbols, constantly rotating counterclockwise.
“Seven-Eyed Level, Nightmare Great Calamity.”
Mu Qingtong immediately recognized the ability of this disaster, and her thoughts echoed in Xia Feng’s mind, “The calamities released by Nightmares are also called Nightmare Calamities. Those infected by Nightmare Calamities are forcibly dragged into an Illusionary Realm, which is usually the memory world before the age of 18.”
“Because of this, some amnesiacs have taken a detour and actively sought out Nightmare Clan believers, wanting to be infected by Nightmare Calamities.”
Amnesiacs? Xia Feng’s black eyes brightened.
“However, awakening memories is just a side effect of Nightmare Calamities. Its main ability is actually the annihilation of memories!”
“For example, if a human returns to their 8-year-old memory world through a Nightmare Calamity, then they will only have the strength of an 8-year-old.
If the Nightmare Great Calamity targets this person, it can send hunters into the person’s memory world to kill the 8-year-old him.”
“After the 8-year-old him dies, the person in the real world will completely lose all memories, even emotions, and will lose control of their body and soul, becoming a puppet of the Nightmare Clan.”
