Catastrophe Containment Facility

Chapter 1152: Battle with the Nightmare



Saying even a single word more is too much when conversation doesn't go well, so when Wen Wen saw that Menglan refused to put on another layer, he directly started the fight.

Faced with Menglan, who from the beginning exerted some pressure on him, Wen Wen naturally wouldn't foolishly use a grenade launcher against such an opponent.

With a thunderous bang, a chain of sonic booms appeared between Wen Wen and Menglan as Wen Wen rushed forward, throwing an Asura Straight Punch.

The fist landed directly on Menglan's abdomen, sinking in along the belly button, then sent Menglan flying back dozens of meters like a cannonball, slamming into the wall of the Dream Sanctuary with a roaring explosion.

Yet even then, Wen Wen didn't stop, drawing the Blood River Sword with a shout, sending countless sword lights towards where Menglan had landed—a modification of the Sword Qi Burst he learned from Qiao Feiya!

These powerful Sword Qi were enough to reduce diamonds of equivalent volume to atomic states, and Menglan, unprotected, took all of Wen Wen's attacks.

When the Sword Qi Burst stopped, Wen Wen extended the Blood River Sword behind him, black and red sword light entwined around it, deepening in color.

This was a swordsmanship that required power to wield; the move might not be refined, but it was undeniably powerful.

Having withstood countless attacks, Menglan was left with only a skeleton, her flesh rapidly regenerating, and her skin showing a subtle pink color.

However, her clothes did not recover with her flesh, so she hesitated for a fraction of a second before pulling a white lab coat from the ground to drape over herself.

Although she wanted to unsettle Wen Wen, she didn't want to give him the advantage for nothing.

"Hehehe... you're a strong one, probably a big shot in the real world, but the dream is my domain!"

Wen Wen didn't want to chat; his power-charging sword technique was ready, and in a swift motion, he leapt in front of Menglan and slashed down with his sword.

At such a close range, Menglan couldn't dodge; she could only use her ability to block, though resisting Wen Wen's charged sword technique wouldn't be that easy.

Yet Menglan was utterly unperturbed, simply waving her hand to extend a thin wall, and Wen Wen's sword struck it, sending him retreating, his hand numbed by the shock.

The wall that blocked Wen Wen's sword was part of the Sanctuary!

"Sis already told you, the dream is my domain." Menglan laughed, covering her mouth, as the surrounding walls squirmed like flowing water, making the scene eerily terrifying.

Wen Wen's fierce maneuver just now startled her, but once she regained her composure, it became difficult for Wen Wen to harm her again.

As a Nightmare, she couldn't create dreams; she could only travel through different dreams to prey.

But as the top predator in the dream world, Menglan could manipulate existing dreams, and this control took precedence even over the dream's owner!

She had tasted the Sanctuary before, and although she hadn't bitten through it, she understood its rigidness, making it perfect for shielding against Wen Wen's attacks.

As long as she remained in this scene, she would have an absolutely unbreakable shield.

And as the owner of the dream, Wen Wen, who had a deep impression of the Sanctuary, ironically couldn't make these elements change according to his whims in the dream.

With a protective shield in place, the next need was a spear to attack the enemy!

Menglan let out a scream, plunging the Sanctuary's environment into greater darkness, with blood-stained patterns surfacing on the walls, which congregated into countless blood-red spears.

Wen Wen brought his longsword across his chest, as countless black light swords floated around him, ready to resist Menglan's attack, hyper-vigilant.

Judging by her aura, Menglan's strength should have been far inferior to Wen Wen's, but this was a dream; combat here was incomparable to reality.

Menglan waved her hand, and the blood-red light spears shot toward Wen Wen.

Wen Wen hurriedly directed the black light swords to meet the attack. The energy of these light spears wasn't high, so blocking them with the black light swords was a breeze.

But then came something strange—these light spears seemed like projections, passing straight through Wen Wen's light sword defense, flying directly at him.

Wen Wen's pupils constricted as he realized the attacks were unblockable, hurriedly using abilities to move quickly.

But the speed of these light spears was even more exaggerated than Wen Wen's teleportation, and what was more unreasonable was that, though their destructive range wasn't big in Wen Wen's perception, he would be inexplicably harmed as long as they got close enough.

After the initial success of the battle with Menglan, the rest of the time was exceedingly difficult.

After Wen Wen's initial set of combos, Menglan inexplicably took control of the fight, easily suppressing Wen Wen.

Wen Wen could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to flee, using various abilities during his escape, none of which had any effect on her.

A layer of the Sanctuary's wall floated around her body, blocking all attacks.

Moreover, cataclysmic traits like 'Contract Justice' had no effect on Menglan either. It was the first time Wen Wen experienced such a stifling fight.

Clearly holding an absolute advantage in strength, he was defeated by the opponent's shameless tactics.

It was like playing cards with a child; with four twos and two jokers in hand, you felt certain of victory.

But the opponent suddenly plays 31415926535897... claiming pi to be infinitely large, with twos represented by Queens—where could you possibly argue with that?

As Menglan's control over the Sanctuary deepened, Wen Wen found even escaping becoming difficult.

The surrounding walls began enclosing him, turning his own home turf into a graveyard.

After running for a long time, Wen Wen finally found himself cornered, pinned against a wall by several nails.

Menglan approached with model-like strides, lifting Wen Wen's chin with a charming smile, "Good little brother, sis will take good care of you."

Wen Wen offered a bitter smile: "Now I finally understand why Mefna was so terrified when mentioning Nightmares, at least in dreams you guys are truly unreasonable."

"Clearly, I'm the stronger one, but there's nothing I can do against you."

Menglan flicked Wen Wen's forehead, "My stubborn little brother, since I won, that makes me stronger. You should be worried about what comes next."

"Tell sis, when you eat sausages, do you prefer slicing them, biting into them directly, or frying them in oil?"

Wen Wen's face turned bitter, then he smiled, "You're indeed a wicked woman, but I never planned to take you down with just those tricks from before."

Menglan stepped back warily: "What do you mean?"

Wen Wen shook his head, "Nothing, it's just time to let this dream return to its original state."

The sound of an eggshell breaking rang out, and the temporarily constructed Dream Sanctuary suddenly began to collapse...
