Chapter 887 - Infected Arm
As soon as he was too close to the tunnel, the concentrated nightmare energy around him abruptly became aggressively active, which then rushed into his right hand.
Angor was rather surprised by this because he just made sure his right hand was “switched off”. Somehow, the hand decided to absorb nightmare energy on its own.
Like always, he couldn’t tell where all the surging energy disappeared to. But unlike the previous cases during which drawing nightmare energy didn’t leave any noticeable effect on him, he began to feel faint and drowsy as if he was slowly falling asleep inside a dream.
As more and more nightmare energy went inside his right hand, those glowing sigils also grew in number until a large swarm of them danced around his hand like bees protecting their hive.
As they moved, they slowly painted a shining ring in the air, which floated away and reached the plane barrier ahead.
The ring fixed itself onto the barrier, ripping a large hole on it.
Angor was still trying his best to stay “awake”. He felt his mind slowing down while the lucid dream around him was fading away.
A strange figure suddenly appeared at the hoop-shaped tear on the plane barrier.
He couldn’t leave the nightmare tunnel unattended. For now, he made up his mind to finish his work and sever the tunnel first.
Some further tests told him that he could still use his right hand to absorb nightmare energy. If fact, this skill just grew a lot stronger. Both the speed and the precision at which he drew nightmare energy were improved. He could now fully determine how much energy he took or distribute it at different parts as he wished.
Although he didn’t feel any happier for gaining the new skill. He just grew more foreign parts on his body. If this kept happening, there would always be a time when most of his body was replaced, by which time he would hardly be himself.
Sunders did tell him to accept the bloodline of a nightmare projection, but he was not sure if this was the right way to do that.
He rocked his head and forced himself to forget all the concerns. For now, he had to secure this piece of nightmare domain first.
