So Kanzaki Teru didn't say anything more in that moment of clarity.
Kanzaki Teru immediately locked onto the enemy's location and activated his ability.
The possibility of altering one's own existence was instantly transferred to the rooftop.
"Thank you for letting me have a sweet dream."
"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. You're definitely no ordinary person. It's just a pity..."
....... ....... 0
It was still night, and the bright moonlight shone on the two of them.
It was only then that Kanzaki Teru realized that the person in front of him could not be described as human at all.
Overall, he looked like a refined scholar, but the veins on his face were particularly prominent.
There seemed to be some kind of writing in his eyes, but Kanzaki Teru couldn't see it very clearly.
"who are you?"
"Me? Oh ho ho ho ho, how rude of me, I am—Lower Moon One: Nightmare."
His tone of voice was weak and listless, but the aura he exuded was strangely eerie.
"So, what do you need me for?"
"There's no particular reason; after all, devouring humans is my instinct."
"Just as you said, Nightmare Lord, our existence is solely for devouring humans."
Although I had already sensed something was amiss, I never expected the other party to show up on their own initiative.
A person climbed up from downstairs; she appeared to be an elegant woman.
However, the aura emanating from this person was still nauseating.
Chapter 226: The Glutton
"Miss Kamishiro, didn't you agree to leave it to me?"
There was no blame in his tone; it sounded more like a casual conversation between friends.
Although they were facing off against Kanzaki Teru, neither of them seemed to feel any tension whatsoever.
Or rather, they simply didn't take Kanzaki Teru seriously.
"I'm sorry, Nightmare-kun, but I'm just so bored down there."
"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."
Listening to their conversation, Kanzaki Teru was getting a little impatient.
"If there's nothing else, I can..."
“Who gave you permission to speak? Go to sleep, ‘770’.”
However, before Kanzaki Teru could finish speaking, Enmu, who claimed to be the Lower Moon One, interrupted him.
The moment he uttered those words, a strange feeling took hold of Kanzaki Teru's mind.
An irresistible drowsiness washed over him, and even if Kanzaki Teru wanted to resist, he was completely powerless to stop it.
"Hoo-ha—where am I!?"
When I opened my eyes again, the scene before me had changed once more.
Neither the so-called Nightmare nor the two gods were in sight.
"I fell asleep again!?"
Kanzaki Teru immediately realized what had happened; even he hadn't expected the other party's abilities to be so ruthless.
Just one sentence could put someone to sleep, but Kanzaki Teru wasn't too flustered.
After all, he already knew how the other party used their abilities, and he also had a way to break the dream.
“The thing that should have been killed already existed.”
The so-called messenger of the "fifth density" left these words for Kanzaki Teru when he was deciphering the dream.
Although he didn't understand what it meant at the time, he does now.
"The only one who should be killed... is me!"
Although there was hesitation and melancholy in my heart, and there was no evidence to prove that committing suicide in a dream would bring me back to reality.
Moreover, if you commit suicide in a dream, you might not be able to wake up.
Or perhaps he simply misunderstood; the one who needed to be killed might not be himself at all.
But Kanzaki Teru has no other choice now, since there are two people in reality who are eyeing him covetously.
In this situation, Kanzaki Teru could not afford to hesitate even for a moment; he had to make a decisive decision immediately.
"I don't miss you, but—"
Swallowing hard, Kanzaki Teru raised one hand towards his head.
"I trust my gut feeling!"
Without any further hesitation, Kanzaki Teru activated his ability.
In an instant, a firework made of human blood bloomed in the dream, and the next moment, Kanzaki Teru returned to reality.
"I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."
"Hehehehe, Nightmare-kun, I won this bet. Don't forget our agreement."
Seeing that Kanzaki Teru had woken up, the two of them showed no panic whatsoever.
"Alright, alright, then you can have the brain."
Hearing the content of their conversation, Kanzaki Teru roughly guessed the identities of the two people.
After all, Rize Kamishiro is quite famous, a well-known ghoul in the Tokyo area.
The number of people she ate is almost impossible to count; the only thing known is her nickname, "The Glutton."
It was even referred to by the CCG as the "Big Eater," the most dangerous existence.
In terms of strength, she is absolutely among the top ghouls; any prey she sets her sights on is doomed to die...
As for the other person, Kanzaki Teru didn't remember him, but judging from the fact that he was able to chat and laugh with Kamishiro Rize.
It is definitely an existence of the same level, but Kanzaki Teru has no idea about such an existence.
This also puzzled him greatly, but it wasn't the key point right now.
After all, the ability to put someone to sleep with just a single sentence is simply too abnormal, even if Kanzaki Teru has a way to deal with it.
However, adding Rize Kamishiro would also be very troublesome, so we've already decided what to do.
During a brief pause in their conversation, Kanzaki Teru unleashed his ability.
It distorted its own existence and possibilities, and in the next moment it moved behind Nightmare.
"Go to sleep!"
Just as he had predicted, the other party activated the ability again the moment they noticed him.
However, Kanzaki Teru was not affected this time; he had already distorted the space around his ear.
All sounds are blocked out, but this will result in extremely severe tinnitus.
However, this sacrifice is entirely worthwhile, as Kanzaki Hikaru's abilities have a limited range.
Moreover, the greater the distance, the less stable the causal distortion caused by the release, so the ability to release to oneself is almost always successful.
However, he might make mistakes when dealing with distant targets; his strength lies in his ability to surprise.
Therefore, Kanzaki Teru chose this most dangerous, yet also the safest, way to launch the attack.
However, Rize Kamishiro, who was standing to the side, clearly realized Kanzaki Teru's intentions, but she did not take any action.
Chapter 227: Immortality
She simply watched coldly from the sidelines, as if the life or death of the nightmare had nothing to do with her.
This inevitably raises questions about their relationship, but if there's a deeper reason...
Without much thought, Kanzaki Hikaru had already reached a distance where he could eliminate his opponent immediately.
Kanzaki Teru had more faith in his own abilities than in unfounded speculation.
Place your hand on the other person's head, distorting the space in front of your palm.
Just as one deals with oneself in a dream, so too does the nightmare end.
However, at the end, a smile of ambiguity appeared on his lips.
"Oh dear, why are you already unable to do this, Nightmare-kun?"
"Aren't you worried about 23 at all?"
Even seeing Nightmare lying dead on the ground, Rize Kamishiro showed no emotional change whatsoever.
"Worried? Why should I worry?"
As if unable to understand what Kanzaki Teru was saying, Kamishiro tilted his head.
Although it's inappropriate to say such things at this time, Kamishiro certainly looks like a beauty.
She exudes the charm of a mature woman from beginning to end, though it would be even better if her eyes weren't blood-red.
"After all, without his cover, do you think you can defeat me?"
"Don't just casually say someone's life is over, okay?"
However, at that very moment, a voice that should never have appeared rang in Kanzaki Teru's ears.
Looking back, Nightmare, who should have been completely dead, got up from the ground.
The head was also recovering in an extremely disgusting way, even steaming.
"How can it be!?"
Kanzaki Teru was also greatly surprised when he saw this scene.
