BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108: The Third Nightmare Prince
RIIIIPPPPPP!
The incredibly deafening sound of the rift being forcefully ripped wider rang out through the entire battlefield area.
The rift was torn open even further, expanding into a gaping hole.
Finally, a rough leg veined in red tore out from the rift before the creature\'s entire body followed.
"FINALLY!!!" The voice was like a whisper, yet it boomed through the entire area with unmatched power, shaking Nolan\'s eardrums until he felt liquid slipping down his ears.
His eyes widened in shock.
His eardrums had been crushed by the creature\'s simple word.
Fiinally, the figure rose upright, and Nolan finally saw its full, malevolent form, causing his jaw to drop.
The creature was a menacing, monstrous figure, standing at a towering 3 meters in height.
Its physique was highly muscular and imposing, with a head adorned with long, wild white hair that spiked outward and two large red horns that curved slightly backward.
The horns glowed with an abysmal power, giving the creature a fearsome demonic appearance.
Its face was terrifying, with sharp, jagged teeth fully exposed in a menacing snarl. Its upper body was incredibly muscular, with well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles, covered in black skin with sinister red muscle fibers.
It had four massive arms ending in sharp claws, each one seemingly capable of tearing through anything.
Its legs, equally powerful, ended in clawed feet designed to crush or slash whatever came in their path.
A long, thick tail, covered in the same black and red coloring, snaked behind it, infused with sharp thorns that pierced through the ground, carving ridges into it.
The creature\'s skin had a natural armor-like quality, with black, chitinous plates providing extra protection.
Red lines ran across its body, possibly indicating a source of power or cracks in the armor where its inner energy leaked out.
Massive amounts of killing intent and malevolence oozed from its being, spreading through the battlefield and casting an aura of intense gloom and fear.
Surprisingly, when it came out from the portal, it seemed like the portal had finally exhausted its energy as it slowly closed itself back until it completely disappeared.
Their mission to close the portal had been completed, but now before them stood a monstrous creature along with an army of about 500 remaining Nightmare creatures.
Slowly, the creature turned its head to the 500 remaining creatures, and in the next instant, all of the Nightmare creatures slammed their bodies onto the ground as they fully bowed to the devil, their foreheads touching the earth.
"We welcome the 7th Prince of the Nightmare..." they called out in unison.
"Rise!"
"With you, I will dominate this realm and the ones around it," the creature commanded, as the Nightmare creatures immediately gathered behind it.
Slowly, it turned its gaze back to the others.
At this moment, Oliver had regained himself, and his eyes were locked on the creature.
"What the!? How did this happen? A Nightmare Prince!!!" Oliver screamed out shrilly as the others turned to him, but they had no time to remind him of what he had done before.
Or at least, what had been done through him.
Formerly, Oliver had tried to kill Ferris, but now they knew it was because Oliver\'s mind had been taken over by the Nightmare creature, probably the one which he and King Sammodra went to meet then, and Oliver had been oblivious.
At the critical moment, it had used Oliver\'s body to try and kill Ferris, but was stopped by Nolan, and then the Nightmare Guardian had sacrificed its life and the rest of the others that died to summon out this monstrosity.
Now it all made sense to Nolan.
When the Nightmare creature had asked King Sammodra for the bodies of a thousand Atlanteans, it wasn\'t like it needed to eat their bodies.
In essence, the creature needed their bodies so it could use them to perform a ritual that would call out this monstrosity.
But in the end, its plan had been foiled by their arrival.
But still, it was able to use the thousand souls of the dead bodies of the Nightmare creatures along with its own to eventually summon this monster.
Now he understood their real foe.
Their foe wasn\'t the creatures from the Nightmare realm. It was the creature that was standing before them right now.
Right now, their mission could be said to have become easier.
All they needed to do was defeat the monstrosity before them, and the other 500 Nightmare creatures that remained could be easily dealt with.
Once they did that, they would have completed their mission here and be able to return.
But Nolan felt this wouldn\'t be as easy as it seemed, and soon he got the confirmation.

"What?" Nolan screamed out in shock as he looked at the creature, which had two of its arms folded while the remaining two looked at them in amusement.
"It piques my interest a bit. I thought we from the Nightmare realm, the Celestial Heirs, and the Titans made a universal agreement..." The devil suddenly said to them as they all narrowed their eyes.
"We made an agreement that none of us would come and help Atlantis ever and watch as it fades away into oblivion." thanks for reading on m|v|l|e|m|p|y|r
"Yet here you are again? Clearly helping the Atlanteans. As expected of you bastards, Celestials."
"Your words mean nothing but fart, and you go against them faster than a fish moves away from land..." the malevolent creature said with an irritating snort.
"It doesn\'t matter though. I\'ll end you all right here and now!!"
