“Run as far as you can!” Chen Gou told the peasant woman with the fractured fingers.

He had entered her nightmare and was able to meet her there.

The peasant woman, who was ecstatic to see that he was an Abyssal Knight, ignored her pain. She crawled up from the ground and ran past Chen Gou without even turning her head as she ran frantically.

Instead of chasing her, the demon just let out a strange laugh.

“She won’t be able to get away. There is no God, only Freddy. In the world of nightmares, Freddy is God. Without my permission, nobody is allowed to leave…”

Whoosh!

Chen Gou didn’t bother listening to his nonsense and summoned the Radiant Dawn with magic.

He clearly had similar powers to reality in the nightmare.

As the Radiant Dawn’s figure condensed, she raised her longsword to cast a beam of Solar Flare.

Boom!

Intense sunlight was blasted against Freddy along with the silver flame of the cross. The dark factory was shrouded by light for a moment.

Freddy immediately let out a miserable scream. His hat, ugly skin, and flesh… had all vaporized.

It was as if the angelic light was judging the vile demon!

Thanks to the holy light, any demon would be annihilated.

A moment later, that familiar figure reappeared in the black ashes that filled the sky.

The black ashes were like paper money, and the demon had returned from hell!

Then, the demon let out a strange laugh.

“He he, I’ve been resurrected! That’s right. In the world of nightmares, super Freddy is immortal!”

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, the shadow floating in the air suddenly shot forward like a cannonball.

It was as fast as lightning!

He hit Chen Gou, who was caught off guard, on the right side of his face with his fist, fracturing half of his cheekbones and causing half of his face to swell like a pig’s head.

He even flew backward and crashed into the factory’s water pipe, sending instantly unbearable pain to his lower back.

“My dear, are you also a Demon Hunter? I’ve sensed that your soul is more delicious than that woman’s!”

Freddy appeared three meters in front of Chen Gou, licking his lips and making a creepy sound.

“75% HP remaining…”

Upon seeing his current state, Chen Gou casually hit himself to remove one-quarter of his HP.

Freddy had yet to take this seriously, or he wouldn’t even have been alive.

Freddy was indeed terrifyingly strong in the nightmare!

“Freddy, stop jabbering! This doesn’t work on me.”

“Hey! What a lovely boy! I can’t bear to kill you.”

Freddy slowly moved forward as the metal claws on his right hand scratched against the metal pipe, producing a creepy sound.

As the sound approached, he knew that the demon was approaching as well.

This nightmarish environment was especially destructive to the mind.

Chen Gou crawled up from the ground and wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth before he said with a sneer, “You can make everyone fear you, but not me.”

“Everyone is afraid of Freddy. Humans are equally cowardly before death!”

Freddy sounded very angry, thus proving that… he had not sensed much fear in Chen Gou.

This was unbearable for him.

Without fear, there was no pleasure or meaning in killing people!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The sound of blood spurting out was heard at the same time.

The metal claws on Freddy’s right hand pierced Chen Gou’s abdomen, causing Chen Gou to bend like a shrimp from the intense pain.

At the same time, the Radiant Dawn launched an attack from behind Freddy, stabbing her sword through the back of his heart.

The sword burned along with the silver flame of the cross, causing Freddy excruciating pain every second.

Demons also feared pain and would likewise scream miserably.

However, his expression was perverted as he roared with laughter. “Come on, stab me a little deeper! Ha ha ha!”

“40% HP remaining…”

“Ah!”

When Freddy’s metal claws stirred in Chen Gou’s lower abdomen, Chen Gou could neither imagine nor describe the excruciating pain of his intestines being twisted and cut.

He would have passed out from the pain if it was possible to faint in a nightmare.

Then, the system’s alarm rang wildly in his head.

“Warning: The host’s current HP is at 20%… 19%…”

He was already facing extreme danger and could lose his life at any moment!

“Quickly, disconnect the Soul Link!”

In reality, Tony roared at Angeline with wide eyes as if he was going to eat her.

Without delay, Angeline immediately cast magic to disconnect the Soul Link between Chen Gou and the peasant woman.

In theory, Chen Gou had entered the peasant woman’s nightmare through the Soul Link, so he would be able to regain consciousness just like Angeline if the link was disconnected.

Chen Gou felt a clear sense of repulsion in the dreamworld… The dreamworld was driving him out.

The factory around him also started to become illusory and snowflake-like spots appeared.

He knew that Angeline had disconnected the Soul Link and he would soon leave this place.

Bam!

The entire nightmare world burst apart like fireworks, and Chen Gou took the initiative to grab Freddy’s wrist in an attempt to bring him to the real world.

However, he was still in a dark and damp abandoned factory when the scene around him was reconstructed!

“Ah…”

In reality, the peasant woman opened her eyes and regained consciousness.

On the other hand, Chen Gou still had his eyes closed.

“How did this happen?” Tony was dumbfounded.

“What I feared has happened. The demon’s power is more terrifying than we expected. He kept Sir Chen Gou in the nightmare!” Angeline’s face turned pale as her lips trembled.

Tony stepped forward and grabbed her arm before yelling at her, “Is there any other way to wake him up?”

“No. That demon said that nobody can wake up once they enter his nightmare…”

Angeline stumbled and slumped on the ground.

She had eventually lost the bet. A small force like the Wildfire Demon Hunter Team could not bear the death of an Abyssal Knight.

“He has only 13% HP left!”

The strong man called Aman cried, waking Tony up. He rushed over to feed Chen Gou the magic potion to restore his HP.

“Wait!”

As she thought of something, Angeline’s eyes lit up and she stopped Tony.

“Get lost!”

“Before Sir went in, he instructed us not to give him the HP potion!”

“Are we going to watch him die without giving it to him?” Tony narrowed his eyes.

Killing the Bronze captain of a Demon Hunter team would get him in no greater trouble than stepping on an ant.

Angeline stood her ground and looked at Tony. “Sir, we can only believe him at this point!”

“12%!”

Chen Gou’s HP had reached an extremely dangerous critical point, but he was laughing as he looked at Freddy in the nightmare.

“You can still laugh, little cutie? Are you already scared out of your wits?”

Freddy crouched in front of Chen Gou with the metal claws still poking his abdomen.

Chen Gou gave him a wry smile. “I’ve let you play for a long time, but it’s your turn to come to my world now!”

“What did you say?”

While Freddy was bewildered, Chen Gou grabbed onto his right hand and twisted it.

When the metal hook turned and caused him severe pain, Chen Gou’s HP dropped steeply to 9%.

9% and 12% didn’t seem very different, but the former was below 10% while the latter was above 10%.

For Chen Gou, this was a boundary between life and death and an opportunity to turn the tables…

HP Resistance!

This was an additional ability he had gotten when he had broken through the 10-point threshold of his base Strength. When his HP dropped to 10%, all negative effects on him would be forcefully removed.

Slipping into a nightmarish coma was naturally considered a negative effect.

Buzz!

A moment later, the dreamworld instantly collapsed and the entire factory turned into ashes that flew toward the sky.

Chen Gou grabbed onto Freddy’s arm tightly, bringing him to the real world as he regained consciousness!
