Nightmare Assault Chapter 397: Fight

Darkness gathered behind him like a pool of black water. Black and red patterns appeared on Wei Jingting’s exposed skin. The patterns were curses and shackles.

Wu looked at him with interest. The blade he held appeared to have gained consciousness. It buzzed with interest. Wu’s original face started to become ghastly. He stared at Wei Jingting and his eyes shone with desire.

The horror stories he collected were trash. This man before him was the thing he wanted! He would make Wei Jingting into his perfect collection! The scariest story!

The darkness that curled around Wu started to boil. It was like a black wave. The next second, the two fast shadows collided to form black ripples.

The bright blade left deep scars on Wei Jingting’s body. If he were slower, his left arm would be chopped off. Wei Jingting’s left arm turned ashy. It became curled with the sense of death. Blood vessels burst as blood flowed down his tapered fingers. The splattered blood crawled along the blade. It was startlingly beautiful.

The strange thing was the blood appeared to have come alive. They turned into many dark red patterns. The curses on Wei Jingting’s body appeared on Wu’s hand that held the blade and wrapped around the sword. The curses wiggled like snakes as they crawled towards Wu’s body and his heart.

Wu looked at the struggling curses and he appeared disappointed. “Is that all?” He trembled his blade and the curses around it shattered.

Then, the curses that hid nearby twisted into chains and shot at Wu like blades. The room had already disappeared. They stood in a black sea. The chains made from curses swiped at Wu. However, the latter didn’t look worried.

The curses poured like a waterfall. Wu sliced against the wave. In the combat, he found the enemy’s weakness. His enemy could combine curses into chains. During their first exchange, Wei Jingting was harmed by his attack. In other words, this match would be over once Wu got close to Wei Jingting.

As if reading Wu’s thoughts, endless chains wrapped around Wei Jingting’s body. He hid underneath the curtain of curses.

After the chains were severed, they splattered about as curses. Even though they were not lethal, they were annoying. It was not easy to deal with Wei Jingting.

After cutting off a chain that tried to ambush him from behind, Wu suddenly teleported to the giant canvas. With a palm on the canvas, it slowly opened. The chill poured out. Then, something horrifying occurred. A hand reached out of the painting. It was bloody.

No… There was more than one hand. More than ten arms poked out. They were too grey to be human hands. Wei Jingting who saw this through the gap had his pupils shrunken. Wu released all the ghosts in the ghost stories.

The ghosts pounced at the chains. Even though some of them died from the curses, this greatly impeded Wei Jingting. While the ghosts handled the chains, Wu sliced through the obstacle and stopped before Wei Jingting. The next second, the sharp blade pierced through the latter’s body.

As he coughed up blood, the mutation on Wei Jingting’s body disappeared like snow. The darkness receded. They returned to Room 808.

Staring at the dying man before him, Wu brandished the blade emotionlessly. Wei Jingting held his wound and staggered backwards before he stabilised himself. He gasped heavily. The blade that cut him was special. His wound kept tearing open. The pain cut at his heart. He knew that the blade was cursed. The despair and curses Wu carried were not fewer than he did.

He wiped away the blood with the back of his hand. Then, he grinned to reveal his bloody teeth. “You’re more troublesome than I thought.” Wu looked at him silently. The radiance of the blood was the only answer.

“Fuck! This is painful.” Wei Jingting collapsed on the wall behind him. He grumbled. “You didn’t hold back. Just wait. I have remembered you. My ability is not meant for combat, so I don’t feel bad losing to you. Plus, we were supposed to fight one on one! How can you call for backup?” He complained, “If I knew you’d fight dirty, I would have asked Little Ran Ran to come with me.”

“Those who lose their doors will not retain their memory.” Wu looked at the harmless Wei Jingting like he was a precious artefact. “It doesn’t matter if you remember me. In the end, the result is the same.” Wu studied Wei Jingting. The joy in his eyes was clear. A collection with a door was rare.

“It might be painful.” Wu couldn’t wait anymore. He slowly walked towards him. “Don’t worry. Soon, you won’t feel pain anymore.”

“Wait!” Wei Jingting removed his mask and shouted, “I have something to discuss with you!”

Wu was startled when he saw Wei Jingting’s face. Then, it dawned on him. He nodded. “So this is your real power.”

“Fine. I give up! Are you satisfied now?” Wei Jingting who had a new face shouted, “My ability is disguise. Plus, compared to horror comics, I prefer the gentler horror novels. Therefore, if you send me into your comics, it will be against the grain of the world.” Wei Jingting threatened. “That is illegal! The police will never forgive him. They will send you into prison.”

Wu’s face flashed with impatience. He didn’t like to deal with unreasonable people like Wei Jingting.

Sensing the intention to murder, Wei Jingting exclaimed hurriedly, “You can’t kill me. If you do, all of us will die!”
