Another World: My life is on the hook!

Lynn subconsciously moved her mouth, but then bit her lip hard.

But in that instant, the Nightmare Demons seized this only opportunity. Their eyes suddenly flashed with extreme killing intent and madness, and they launched an attack on Lynn without hesitation.

"careful!"

In an instant, Zuo Zuo shouted a reminder in his mind. She suddenly lifted her sleeve and grabbed the sword blade formed from black fire at Lynn's waist.

This was Zuo Zuo's first real action since her return, and Lynn had already granted her the greatest authority in the dream world. She had been keeping a close eye on the movements of those nightmare demons without letting her guard down for a moment.

hum-

That sword strike seemed to sever the flow of time itself.

The terrifying black flames swept out almost instantly, exerting tremendous suppression on the three Nightmare Demons that were attacking.

Lynn also snapped back to his senses in an instant, his eyes flashing with cruel coldness. It could be said that the moment Zuo Zuo slashed out, he had already regained control of the black sword in his hand. With just a thought, the boundless flow of time instantly enveloped him, and along with those Nightmare Demons, he was directly thrown into the rift of time.

But in his final moments before leaving, he finally turned back to look at those figures, but they could no longer see the sorrow in his eyes.

……

A pitch-black rift in time.

With a snap, Lynn crushed one of the charging Nightmare Demons with his hand. His gaze was cold and ruthless, showing no mercy. The thick black flames burned them one by one to ashes.

"Zuo Zuo, remember this: unless absolutely necessary, try not to release black fire inside or outside the timeline. Your control is very weak. If you accidentally get involved there, it could cause irreversible damage to the entire timeline. Don't do it again, understand?"

"Okay, head over here! Zuo Zuo will be careful."

They were no match for Lynn at all.

Although Lynn had also sensed that their projections were significantly stronger than before, it was all in vain in the face of the black fire of the end.

Lynn vanquished all the great demons and nightmares.

The second Nightmare Demon was also easily killed by his sword and burned to ashes.

that moment.

His hand, like the mighty hand of a giant god, grabbed the human-headed, snake-bodied demon and lifted her up. The burning black flames continuously melted her body, causing her to let out painful screams.

"Say!"

Lynn stared at her with a frenzy.

Where is she?

Memories of that time kept replaying in his mind, floating around the image of his future mistress appearing before his eyes for the first time under the blood moon, and the heart-wrenching pain he felt at that moment.

At that time, he kept telling himself that it was all an illusion, that it was all something they had created to disturb the emptiness in his heart.

But after truly experiencing that great catastrophe.

Now, all that remains in his heart is a tearing rage and madness.

because……

He absolutely will not allow anyone to use his deceased family members to trample on this past history!

"I don't understand what you're... saying! Ughhhhh!"

A piercing, agonizing scream emanated from the nightmare demon's mouth as pitch-black flames relentlessly melted her away.

I don't want to ask a second time!

Lynn's gaze gradually became distorted.

At this moment, he looked even more ferocious and terrifying than those nightmares.

But it was at this time.

suddenly.

Changes occur suddenly.

At the dark end of that time rift, a gigantic black hand, seemingly blotting out the sky, shattered the boundless expanse of time in an instant, and with an unimaginable aura of calamity, pressed down upon him.

Lynn looked up instantly, showing no fear, his eyes flashing with coldness, and threw a punch at the giant hand that blotted out the sky.

Rumble, rumble——

The black flames from the explosion, like a monstrous wave, instantly tore through the dark fissure.

The Nightmare Demon, tormented by the melting process, was utterly powerless to resist. Amidst its mournful howls, it was instantly shattered into countless ashes by the terrifying aftershocks, scattering across the scene.

But this time.

Lynn's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He took half a step back.

Because the suddenly appearing, colossal hand that blotted out the sky actually withstood the attack of the black fire in his hand, instead of being burned to ashes in an instant like the previous nightmare demons.

Although this is not his true form, its ability to withstand the burning of the End Flame is something that cannot be ignored.

"Was it aided by the power of that calamity?"

Lynn squinted.

that moment.

The aftershocks subsided.

In an instant, he tore through time, chasing after the remaining power of that giant hand, and traversed towards the end of darkness.

The scene before him suddenly changed. Amidst a bizarre and fantastical illusion, he broke free from the constraints of the river of time through the rift and found himself in the dark void.

"Got you!"

In the dappled light of the long river of time, he vaguely saw that dark figure.

There was no hesitation.

Lynn stepped forward, black flames raging from his eyes. The sword formed from the black flames slashed out, tearing a wall of black flames across the void in front of the figure.

The figure stopped.

Lynn slowly floated down from the void, surrounded by black flames, his eyes flickering as he gazed at the figure's back.

"Interesting, I've never seen you before."

The figure was dressed in a black robe, shrouded in an eerie black mist. He stood there with his back to the viewer, completely still.

One in front and one behind, a terrifying standoff ensued.

“You are indeed amazing.”

The dark figure spoke in a human voice, though no tone could be discerned, yet it carried a distant echo.

"I never imagined they would let you develop to this point. Your very birth is a dereliction of duty for them."

Flames flickered across his robes, swirling like a ghost in the wind.

And when he turned his head.

What Lynn saw beneath the hood was nothingness, pitch black as an abyss.

But it happened almost at the same time.

Behind him, a dark phantom of a pillar of the end slowly emerged, but it was completely different from the ones Lynn had seen with the other Nightmare Demons, because it was not inscribed with any symbols, but was a blank black abyss.

But the blank pillar exuded an aura completely different from the other nightmares; that power came directly from the calamity itself!

At that moment, Lynn immediately understood.

Seventy-two Pillars of Nightmare Demons!

He had already killed seventy-one of them.

"I see."

Lynn's expression remained calm and unmoved.

"It seems you are the last one. No wonder I have never seen you before."

The figure's robes fluttered even without wind. He turned his head, like a phantom in the wind, as if he had no face, as if he were the darkness itself.

“I am different from them.”

The voice of that figure seemed to carry a faint gentleness, like a breeze blowing from the abyss.

"They are all phantoms left behind outside the dream, but only I was born from this dream of my own Lord. To be honest, I am actually very happy to meet you, because just as you anchored this time, I was also created because of this path of time that you have retraced."

"Because I am the nightmare that was created to deal with you."

His body was like flowing black, like a projected phantom.
