Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 955 9. Zatanna

"boom"

In the fantasy and magnificent dream world, the sound of bursting bubbles suddenly sounded.

The voice was very soft, but it fell into Zatanna's ears like a muffled thunder.

In her own dream world, Zatanna, who studies mystic knowledge, rushed out of the golden castle.

She stood on the balcony and looked into the mist in the distance.

After that fog, the nightmare power that has expanded again in the past six months is like a distorted wall full of black halos.

On that wall, a breach that collapsed outwards had already appeared.

A liquid like black mud is flowing into Zatanna's dream world from the other side of the dream world.

Those black, disgusting, sour-smelling liquids dripped on the ground like mud.

Where they touch, the flowers that symbolize good things in dreams dry up in an instant.

Like a dehydrated plant.

In just a few seconds, it becomes browned, as if it has been burned by fire.

"damn it!"

Miss Magician cursed.

She hurriedly took out a special old seal from the black pocket at her waist, and recited it with her unique irony magic.

The spell was fast and fast, but it was inaudible.

Like a tape played in reverse, like a loud, meaningless cry.

However, as the old seal was filled with magic power, in Zatanna's waving, the two weird things were summoned in the dream.

They don't have a specific shape, just like endless extensions, mixed with eyeballs, flesh and tentacles, and strange things with sharp mouthparts.

The moment they took shape in the dream, they were attracted by the black liquid sprayed from the nightmare wall.

They uttered a cry like a baby crying, pounced on the glowing wall, melted their mouthparts into the black liquid, and began to devour the materialized nightmare.

They eat delicious food, and even their distorted shapes quickly become chubby.

"Eat, eat, you ugly bastards."

Zatanna glanced at the ruined garden, and she glared angrily at the creature lying in the light devouring the nightmare.

She wants to drive them away.

Because after these two guys have had their fill of materializing nightmares, they're about to poop.

That was definitely the most disgusting process in the world.

But the broken spot on the Nightmare Wall still needs them to guard...

These guys are very edible, and they can eat all the nightmares overflowing from the tiny cracks before the nightmares flow away.

"It's not the way to go on like this."

Miss Magician held her nose and walked back to her castle.

She came to the second floor of the balcony and looked at the nightmare wall in the mist.

The dream eaters are already covered on that wall.

They dotted the ever-growing nightmare wall like pale lamps, and they were ugly patches that made Zatanna's beautiful dream world look like a beggar's den.

But summoning the dream eater to devour the nightmare is only a temporary solution, not the root cause.

As a spellcaster who has dealt with mysterious affairs all year round, Zatana is very clear.

Summoning these twisted creatures from the Aphotic Sea multiple times in the same place can spell trouble.

They were born in chaos, and gathering in this dreamland will make this place extend towards the realm of chaos, becoming a beacon that goes deep into the lightless sea...

If it goes on like this, one day, this beacon will be noticed by some spirits deep in the dark sea.

Once an ancient evil spirit answers the beacon's call, the dream world is over.

It fell into chaos.

Even Zatanna herself would be drawn into that terrifying world.

These mystics seem to be walking on the edge of the abyss, exploring forbidden knowledge in the dark, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the unknown and indescribable abyss...

And that was just the beginning of all the suffering.

"I have to make a quick decision."

Zatana reached out and patted the railing on the second floor.

She glanced at the gap that was still oozing out a substantial nightmare, like a squeezed abscess, full of ominousness.

The Sandman really found her a good job.

Miss Magician returned to the hall and continued to flip through the magic books in hand. She had sorted out several magic rituals related to the power of nightmares, and even some shamanic witchcraft.

But these things might be useful for dealing with the paranormal occurrences of some collective nightmares.

Now facing a symbolic consciousness born in the nightmare dimension, no one can guarantee that they will work.

In addition to these magical rituals, Zatanna also prepared a suicide counterattack plan of "fighting poison with poison".

She planned to summon a dream-eating spirit body from the Lightless Sea here after the power of the nightmare completely entered the dream world, and then the two extremely evil forces would fight each other.

Before they decide the winner, it can also give Zatanna a little time to transfer.

Of course, the difficulty with this plan is that...

How can we ensure that when the dream-eating spirit body is summoned, it will not be the first to eat Zatanna herself.

So until the last desperate moment, Zatana will not use this suicide plan.

Zatanna had a pen in her mouth, and she was rummaging through the two books with her hands.

She tried her best to find any helpful information, but before she could finish transcribing another very remote spell, another sound of bursting bubbles sounded in the dream world.

Miss Magician snapped to her feet, she glanced out, and another rift opened.

And one after another, several gaps were opened in a row.

She hadn't seen the conscious nightmare born in the Sandman's spiritual world.

But now, obviously, that guy has started to provoke.

"calm!"

Zatana patted her face, and she pinched her fingers to call for cold water to splash on her face to make herself more awake.

She looked at the grimoires on the table, and a sense of anxiety rose in her heart.

"Snapped"

She snapped her fingers, and all the magic tomes on the table in front of her disappeared at the same time.

She rubbed her forehead and sat down on the sofa.

It would be great if there is someone who can advise her on the problem at this time.

It's a pity that another man who can enter this world has disappeared for more than six months...

"Merlin."

Zatanna covered her eyes, and she said:

"Damn God's Domain people...well, wait, God's Domain people...God's Domain?"

Miss Magician's eyes narrowed, she walked quickly to the bookshelf, and rummaged through it.

Ten seconds later, a rather ancient map of the territory of the World Tree was found.

Zatanna spread the thing out on the table.

She placed her finger in the center of the branch of the imaginary world tree, where Midgard was marked, that is, the earth.

Her fingers followed the branches all the way down, and finally stopped on the world of Niflheim.

"The Nine Kingdoms... Asgard's underworld, connected to the border of hell, Niflheim... the root of the World Tree... Nightmare, transfer... eruption..."

Zatanna grunted.

A vague idea quickly formed in her mind.

"Queen Liana of Limbo is Merlin's friend, and it is said that she has some unclear relationship with Merlin... She should help, right?"

Zatana stood up, rubbing her delicate chin.

she says:

"After all, we are also Merlin's friends, er, lovers in another sense."

"It doesn't matter, it's already the situation now, let's try it!"

-----------

"what?"

In the castle on the edge of hell, Liana, who was walking around the laboratory wearing a gas mask pretendingly, received a strange message.

"What did you say? Who wants to see me from Merlin?"

"The woman said she was a close friend of Merlin's."

The loyal Queen's attendant Black Sir manipulated a small flying robot and reported to his queen:

"She said she needed you to do her a favor, to avenge Merlin and those damned Asgardians."

"interesting."

Liana took off the gas mask from her face.

She glanced at several biologists who were busy in the laboratory, and she quietly retreated out.

The current situation in Limbo is still not optimistic.

This virus-infected land constantly breeds mutated demons.

But the good news is that the sons of hell have successfully established a relationship with the Raccoon City base, and several vaccines against the original virus have been developed and are being scattered into the land on the border of hell.

Although the effect was minimal, at any rate, the frontier queen who was anxious to get angry saw the hope of recovery.

The environment in hell is very harsh, and even viruses are difficult to adapt to.

The mutation rate of the virus in Limbo is much slower than that of the present world, so Hill simply set up a biological laboratory in Limbo.

If they can cure the resident evil in Limbo, it means that there is hope for the recovery of Raccoon City.

Queen Liana wandered outside of her castle, and at a certain point leading to the present world, she saw a visitor.

Of course, I didn't come here in person, it was just a star projection.

Wearing slutty fishnet stockings, high boots, and a seductively tailored black and white tuxedo, with protruding front and back, she looks like a big beauty at first glance.

She also wears a mask of a crow's beak covering her face, giving her a sneaky look.

With a gaze mixed with disdain and envy, Liana glanced at Miss Magician's towering chest, and then at her own.

She pouted, then said coldly:

"You said you were Merlin's friend? Why haven't I met you?"

"Because my relationship with Merlin is very special."

Zatanna said frankly:

"I have a close relationship with him, but it's hard for others to imagine. About this, you can ask Ms. Xuanlan in the Mystery House for confirmation, Her Majesty Liana."

"Hold on."

Liana is no longer the careless and silly girl she used to be.

While Zatana was waiting, she quickly went to the mysterious house, and after getting Xuanlan's confirmation, the border queen returned to the previous node.

This time, her tone was a little more enthusiastic.

she says:

"Merlin's friends are my friends. You said you came here to avenge Merlin? To those Asgardians?"

"Correct!"

Zatanna half-truth said:

"When I heard the news of Merlin's death, I was very angry. I spent half a year designing a plan, and everything was in place, but I need your help."

"Help? How?"

The Border Queen pointed to the fires still burning on the plain behind her, and said:

"Help you get into Asgard? Please, look at the situation here. It's difficult for me to protect myself now."

"Do not."

Zatanna said:

"I need you to open a way for me into Niflheim, Limbo has a way to other Hades, right?"

"Oh, this one."

Liana tilted her head and thought for a while, she said:

"If it's going to other hells, then I really can't do it, those damn old guys have closed the passage."

"But the Hades of Asgard is just an exception. There is no god of death in charge there, so it is still open... However, the living cannot walk the path that only the dead can walk. I can't help you with this. .”

"I know."

Zatanna is also a wizard, and she knows exactly what it means to enter the underworld as a living person.

Her astral projection dropped a crystal that shone with an obscure light to the Border Queen.

she says:

"You just need to throw it into the territory of Niflheim, and I will do the rest."

"Okay, this is not difficult."

Liana was playing with the crystal in her hand, and even she could feel a drowsy breath when looking at the crystal.

She asked curiously:

"What is this thing?"

"Dream Beacon."

Zatanna didn't want to say too much, she explained:

"It will open a door to the dream world in Niflheim."

"What's the use?"

Liana said disdainfully:

"Are you going to crush an Asgardian in a dream? It's a fantasy."

"No, I don't need to beat them down."

Miss Magician pushed the mask, and the corner of her mouth curved into a smile.

she says:

"I just need to enter the dream world compiled by World Tree and plant a seed."

"The moment the nightmare breaks out, the whole of Asgard will tremble."

"Only Merlin can decide whether to forgive them, I can do..."

"It's about making them feel the pain."

Zatanna's tall figure turned into starlight and dissipated at the border of hell. Before she left, her voice echoed in the queen's ears:

"Fear adds to the body!"

"Everything that Merlin has experienced, they will have to experience again."

Watching Miss Magician disappear, Liana curled her lips, tossing the Dream Beacon in her hand up and down, she said:

"The guy who plays with nightmares."

"Tsk tsk, Merlin's women are really not easy to mess with."
