Hero of Darkness

Chapter 68: Living a Nightmare

Omega faced off against the floor boss by himself as Kahn entered in stealth. Thankfully, the fight was happening in an area with long and broad trees so there was no lack of shadows for him to hide inside using shadow walk.

Even though Omega was currently being defensive and was pushed back by the floor boss who had taken the same form as him, he still adhered to Kahn's instructions and kept the boss engaged.

Kahn on the other hand started shifting from one place to another and took a cover behind tree trunks and released the fear toxin from his hands. But he didn't stop at just one place, he didn't want to give the floor boss any escape route so he filled various places with his toxin mist and covered the entire area out of the battlefield in a circle.

And in this encircled area, he placed his lower tier subordinates as the six generals hid in the inner areas not far from the ongoing battle.

After completely filling this middle area with the fog, Kahn finally decided that it was about time the floor boss understood what true fear looked like.

Using the shadow walk, he appeared behind the boss and released his fear toxin at full capacity as if a cloud had descended straight from the sky on this battleground.

Only then did the floor boss finally noticed that something was amiss and looked around its surrounding. Only to find a visible white fog and somehow feeling its senses becoming dull.

When it looked back on its opponent, it was surprised to see how its enemy had completely disappeared from the sight without even making a sound. It quickly changed its form and transformed into a blue and large winged creature that resembled a lot to the Pterosaurs (the flying bird-like dinosaurs), but with feathers and a long tail.

The floor boss was now 5 meters in height and quickly spanned its wings to take off and look at the surrounding.

Shoot!

Just as the newly transformed boss took off and flew 15 meters above the ground, a metal-like pike pierced its right wing and soon another one was shot at the boss.

KRAAAA!!

The boss fell on the ground and screeched in agony as the wings started to bleed. It quickly changed its form into a 4 legged creature with scaly skin on its body. Its head resembling imps and legs similar to clawed wolves.

Just then, another burst of the white smog came to its face and the boss inhaled a big breath of this fog.

Swoosh!

The floor boss heard a voice and quickly turned its back, looking for the source of the noise. Then suddenly, a black figure passed behind its back and disappeared before the boss could even turn around.

It transformed into a horned snake and slithered across the trees after getting a sense of fear from the surrounding noises.

Just then, it saw a group of giant monsters walking towards it.. Each figure was as tall as a 20-meter house.. Their eyes burning red and the biggest of them was a 40 meter tall humanoid monster with a giant shield and axe in its hand.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The floor boss whose senses were weakening as time passed shuddered in fear for the first time in its life. It quickly ran away from the giant monsters and took the left side.. Only to find an army of spider-like creatures swarming in the group of hundreds.. Their eyes prying at the boss as if they wanted to dissect it alive.

When it slithered in the other direction, it saw a giant hooded figure with a black staff in its hand.. And a ginormous fireball that looked like a miniature sun was hovering around this hooded figure. The floor boss felt like it was nothing but a tiny being and ran for its life!

It transformed into a bird-like creature again but before it could even take off, its wings were shot and pinned to the ground from a long and 8 legged figure with its bright yellow eyes staring back at it. The sight terrified the boss and it transformed into a 2 legged ape-like creature who jumped extremely fast among the trees.

Only to face its previous enemy.. Omega!

But unlike the previous encounter, Omega was now 50 meters tall, various parts on his body appeared to be covered in fiery patterns and the eyes felt like they were would burn anything to the ground. His claws now looked far longer and sharper that could cut down the boss in a single swing.

The boss was completely horrified and lost the balance of its body on the spot. The fog had almost blurred its sight and its body was feeling numb from the fear alone.

KYARGH!

ROAR!

SCREECH!

Multiple blood-curling noises resounded in this tree line as the enemies had surrounded the floor boss from all the sides.

The boss screeched and roared in a deafening voice as if trying to warn the enemies.. But to no avail, the hundreds of gigantic figures kept walking towards it.

After being scared witless, the floor boss finally took its real form for the first time.

A dark grey scaled 4 legged creature with a mouth made of a tortoise beak with teeth as sharp as a crocodile. The back was hunched but covered in stone-like skin. The entire figure was around 5 meters tall.. Much smaller than any of the forms it had taken before..

Now covering in fear, it had left down all its defenses, hoping that the nightmare in front of it would stop.

Before its eyes, another black figure emerged from the shadows. And the density of this fog increased twice than before. The floor boss could no longer think anything rationally and wailed in fear.

The new figure seemed to be humanoid and walked towards the creature that was lying on the ground, trembling in fear. The size of the figure rose by dozens of meters with every step it took. In his hands, was a gigantic sword that could cut a tall peak in half with a single swing.

As this new figure stopped right in front of the boss, the monster let out a whimper, begging to be spared in its own way. But the gigantic figure didn't show any hint of mercy on his face and pierced his sword right through the floor boss's head.

In its final moments.. The floor boss finally saw the truth behind its death. Because there were no gigantic creatures.. There was no army of hundreds and thousands surrounding it. Rather, it was only a dozen of small-time monsters that it could easily kill by itself. But the most shocking sight was the true form of the one that had killed it. It was the shortest, most threatless looking human.

The floor boss finally closed its eyes in disbelief as the horrifying nightmare finally ended.
