Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 56: Witness and Answer

"Nightmare... So you're the one I mentioned before..." Cass asked with heavy breathing.

"That's right. A spawn of the Lord of Nightmare and a maid who serves Ms. Zamara."

The other party smiled and nodded in reply.

"Therefore, Liliana's soul is also..."

"I was the one who pulled her into the Nightmare Swamp. I originally planned on helping my contractor, but he didn't seem to appreciate it."

"You didn't have to do such a thing, let alone tell him such nonsense..."

Simon suddenly spoke. The illusory snake shadow stuck out its tongue at the Nightmare Maid from behind.

The Nightmare Maid immediately nodded. Perhaps because its movements were too wide, its already unstable head rolled off its neck.

"Sigh, there's too much damage to this mimic body..."

After a moment of silence, the head on the ground said helplessly.

Perhaps in response to its words, something cracked, and the charred body quickly turned into a black mist and began to dissipate.

A woman enveloped in a dreamy mist that constantly changed her appearance appeared where the charred body had dissipated.

The Nightmare Maid-who had returned to its original form-exclaimed strangely before looking up at the tomb's ceiling.

"The connection with the Night Locust has been severed. Has that woman broken free?"

The perfect mimic of the Nightmare Maid required the main body of the disguised target to be imprisoned in the Nightmare Swamp, creating a dream that synchronized with reality for the other party. Only then could the true reaction and details of the mimic be perfectly restored, allowing for an impersonation that no one could see through.

However, since it didn't take the initiative to remove its mimic state but returned to its original form, it could only mean that something had happened to its main body in the Nightmare Swamp.

Duke Simon said, "It's time to begin the last part of the ritual. Hurry up if you want to receive your remuneration."

The Nightmare Maid nodded and said, "Don't worry. I've done all the preparations. That little faerie was captured by my subordinates the moment she left the tomb."

Before it could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning attacked it.

At the same time, Duke Simon, who was standing beside the Nightmare Maid, attacked. The huge snake phantom behind him suddenly swung its tail, tilting the bolt of lightning in another direction.

With a bang, the lightning struck a sarcophagus at the side. Not only was the sarcophagus instantly shattered, but it also blasted a considerable hole in the granite platform.

Even though they were a few meters apart, the powerful blast still forced the Nightmare Maid to take two to three steps back.

After stabilizing its footing, it looked in the direction of the lightning.

Cass stood up from the throne. At this moment, he held Judgment 4. His entire body flickered with silver lightning, and his eyes shone with a dazzling light.

"Who did you say was captured?!"

Cass's voice was the same as Duke Simon from before. It was like thunder from the high heavens.

After hearing their conversation, Cass held his sword and instantly entered a combat state. Instantly, the lightning runes on his skin lit up, and a violent, peerless, and surging power surged from the depths of his soul. Under his guidance, it wrapped around the sword in his hand.
