[Nightmare]

Chapter 114 [Punishment]

Helix stared at the dead body of the Stalkwalker in a state of disarray.

People were cheering and surrounding him.

However, he could not hear or see them.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

—

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A massive shock wave hit the other side of the chasm.

The abyss absorbed most of the blast, but a large shockwave of wind hit Helix and Marie.

Helix blacked out for a few seconds.

When his consciousness returned, he looked up.

The Stalkwalker had collapsed face-first onto the ground.

It had a broken snout, and the freefall busted open its head.

Now it was bleeding out all over its body.

"Kyyyyaaaaah…."

The Colossus groaned in pain.

Helix turned to his left.

In the distance, Tyrene was lying on the ground.

Her body was a bloody mess.

He turned to his left and saw Marie was still healthy and alive.

Helix stood up from the ground and panned the area around him.

His blood started pounding.

His anger boiled over.

"[Entertainment]." He scoffed while his eyes narrowed at the Stalkwalker.

"This… is entertainment to you, Elise?"

Helix's gaze narrowed, and his eyes became murderous.

His mind sharpened for battle and dulled to reason.

"Marie! Please get Tyrene medical treatment!" Helix roared.

Marie's eyes widened with shock, and she quickly got up from the ground.

"W-What are you going to do?" She stuttered.

"This fucking creature is about to die.

I'm going to make sure it's as agonizing as possible!"

Marie's eyes widened with shock.

"Marie! Don't let our master die!" He barked.

Helix took a deep breath when he saw her trembling.

He looked at her with a calm gaze.

"Marie. If I help master, I'll handle her body poorly and accidentally kill her.

Hell, picking her up myself would probably kill her, and asking for help in my condition is impossible." He explained with a pain-stricken tone.

Marie's eyes trembled in partial understanding.

She had never seen Helix [mad] before, so the experience shocked her.

However, he was explaining his anger which gave her partial understanding.

"You're the best person for this type of task in general.

Right now, the only thing that I can do is feel rage and break things." He scoffed while turning his head in frustration.

"That's the truth. So, please. Go save Master Tyrene for the both of us."

Helix ran at full speed and jumped over the chasm with ease.

Everyone that saw him do it had pounding hearts.

There was a 100-foot fall waiting for those that failed.

Even tripping would cause him to fall to his death.

Yet he could jump 25-feet, and he did it without hesitation.

To everyone's shock, he didn't stop walking.

Helix circled the beast until the Colossus could see him.

Then he dropped an amplification circle on the ground.

"Charlotte!" Helix yelled across the battlefield.

The young blonde snapped out of her daze.

"Yes!" Charlotte yelled back.

The battlefield was dead silent, so her voice reached him barely.

"Hit this sick creature with [Domain]!" He ordered.

"Gladly!" She yelled back with fiery eyes.

Charlotte had finally registered what had happened.

So much had happened so fast.

When she saw Helix walking to the Stalkwalker, she couldn't figure out what was happening.

However, the moment he gave the order to lock it in place, her emotions caught up with her.

They burst like a floodgate, and her killing intent multiplied instantly.

"[Domain]!" Charlotte roared across the battlefield.

"KYAAAAAAHH!"

Domain was her last spell, so she didn't hold back.

She hit the Colossus' entire body with 50 G's of gravity at once, completely locking all movements.

The rock shrapnel stuck in its back from its fall shot into its back at full force.

It was brutal to watch.

"Kyaaaaahhhhhhh!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Helix roared.

The amplified sound burst into the Stalkwalker's less injured canine ear.

The creature winced in pain, and it stopped making noise.

"You have killed my soldiers!

You have hurt my people!

And if that wasn't enough, you tried to kill my lover and crushed my teacher!" Helix roared.

The sound pierced into the creature's ear, rupturing its eardrum.

Blood leaked out of the ear.

Hundreds of blood-thirsty soldiers watched the scene unfolding with pleasure.

Everyone was silent, waiting with bated breath to watch their new leader exact punishment upon the abomination that stole so much from them.

In front of that young man, the Colossus seemed like nothing more than an ant.

To the soldiers, Helix looked like a wrathful god.

"You have seen many Nightmares today!

I'm sure you haven't forgotten." Helix chuckled.

His chuckle was caustic enough to eat through steel.

"But you haven't seen mine. It'll be a fun surprise, I assure you." Helix grinned.

"It's hard to harm something like you when you're standing.

However, my brave partners and soldiers FUCKED YOU UP!

And now you're a glistening corpse I can play with!"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A murderous battle cry resounded from all sides of the battlefield.

Those helping others stopped to watch.

Even those heavily wounded were watching the scene with bated breath.

"You hear that? That's the sound of humanity seeking revenge." Helix grinned.

The crowd denoted with cheers.

Riley's eyes trembled in worry for Helix's state of mind.

Charlotte's eyes were filled with excitement.

It wasn't her usual excitement she felt.

She wasn't in love with Helix.

Charlotte watched Tyrene being hauled to a medical tent, and she was just as blood-thirsty as Helix.

"Well, I hate to break it to you, but they're about to get their wish!"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Let's see how you like having your organs twisted up by that shrapnel that gravity just sent into you!" He roared.

"[Nightmare Hallucination]." He whispered silently.

It wasn't necessary to speak the spell names of Nightmares.

However, he wanted to tell this creature that he was unleashing the Mad Queen's Nightmare and setting it on autopilot.

Helix grinned when he saw what his [Nightmare Hallucination] conjured up.

"YAAAAAAH…. KEEEYYYAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHKKK! KYA!"

The beast started thrashing against the ground violently.

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The crowd drowned the screams out.
