Chapter 1195: Entering The Fractured Nightmare Realm



After Sofia and the other girls insisted on Jonathan joining, I also asked for Partner, Sofia protested though.

"Hah?! Are you out of your mind, Maria?!" Sofia asked. "You can't just-"

"The only one that can convince Jonathan is me, Sofia, so agree to my demands or we won't have him with us," I said.

"Ah... Y-You're getting a bit on my nerves today," Sofia sighed, waving her hair. "Whatever! Do as you please! Sheesh, you're such a bad friend..."

Bad friend? Maybe you should look yourself in a mirror...

Heh, I think I can manipulate her using Jonathan, that was easier than I imagined!

After that, Jonathan and Partner joined, the rest of my family formed their own parties, so it wasn't that bad.

Lucifer, Nyx, Nia, Celes, Arthur, and Arachne formed a party together.

Meanwhile, Emeraldine decided to join the elves that liked her so much, plus the two guys that were friends with Lucifer's character.

I was a bit worried about them, especially Emeraldine, so I decided to leave a Divided Ego in their Shadows to monitor and see if everything goes well.

"Alright students, follow me!"

Professor Hendrick led us through a long tunnel, until we reached another area of this enormous stadium-like building.

In there, there were several black doors with numbers imprinted on them.

"If you didn't know, this academy has rankings based on parties! So right now you're all No Ranked, but as you defeat Nightmares, pass exams and tests, and progress, you can Rank Up and receive benefits!" said the professor.

"For now, today's test is simple, enter these newbie-level Fractured Nightmare Realms and slay ten Nightmares and the Boss. You're all strong so I am pretty sure there shouldn't be much of an issue."

As the professor explained, I noticed there was a bracelet around our wrists.

When did that appear? Was it always there? I seriously didn't realize.

"But if there's one, don't doubt on using your bracelets to call for help. We'll go help you immediately, but that'll also mean you'll be disqualified! Okay?"

Oh, so there's such a security system, I guess it's not too bad, though being too weak ora coward means getting disqualified, an instant F in the exam.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

And if I want to complete the Trial, we can't afford that.

The professor then walked towards the many doors in front of us, they emanated slight auras of darkness.

"Now, chose a door, they're all the same anyways! You'll have until the end of the day to get it done, so take your time and be careful. Make sure to employ everything we taught you in classes about Fractured Nightmare Realm exploration!"

It was finally beginning!

Let's see what the hell these Nightmare Fractured Realms all are about.

"Hmm, let's pick the lucky number, seven!" said Emily, pointing at that door.

Suddenly, I heard Alma scream as Emily ran forward, only to trip on a chair that suddenly moved on its own, falling the ground.

The wooden floor then fractured and transformed, revealing a huge, fleshy jaw, with

countless sharp fangs inside.

"Mimicking Puppets!"

Sofia called their name, immediately noticing what they were.

"Shyaaaggh!"

The chairs and the tables quickly grew insect-like legs and jaws with long tongues, rushing towards Emily, who was suddenly wrapped around a slimy tentacle-like tongue.

"Uuuaaaggh! What the hell?!"

"Emily!"

I ran to her help, but then...

BOOOM!

A sudden explosion of electricity emerged from her body, the Floor Mimic's mouth was blown

off into pieces, blood and wooden pieces splattering everywhere.

"Hah, you damn things! Who do you think you're messing with, huh?!"

Emily unleashed her Dream Heart Weapon, a full-body armor made of bronze and gold-

colored metal, with sharp spikes all over her body.

"Don't worry about Emily, Maria," Sofia laughed. "She's the owner of the [Metallic Thunder Sentinel Armor]. If anything, she's the one we should worry about the least."

"OORAH!"

With a furious roar, Emily's armored fists, covered on spikes conducting electricity, punched

the Chair Mimics coming after her, blowing them up into pieces.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

I guess she was pretty strong, then-

"ООООНННН..."

However, a lugubrious voice suddenly startled us.

The paintings behind Emily started to shake.

And come to life.

"Give me back my face...!"
