Torture the hero, why has the Demon King's castle collapsed again?

Page 124

After a soothing and powerful rose spa treatment by the Rose Shadow Demon Kleinina, a zombie maid reading a complete bedtime story intermittently by the bedside, and using the soft, white-haired loli as a pillow—the hero Mino drifted off to sleep.

"Hiss—"

A rhythmic breathing sound filled the cell.

Just then, a hidden and illusory fluctuation enveloped the entire cell, quietly establishing a link with Mino's dream.

"Success."

Within the dimension of dreams, the image of the Nightmare Mirror coalesced and took shape, floating about with a hint of joy.

Unlike the last time when he peered into and guided Mino's shallow dreams, this time, in order to extract complete and accurate memories, the Nightmare Mirror must lock onto Mino's memories in the dream dimension and exercise its authority to interrogate him.

Entering the other person's dream is the first step.

"Shall we take a look at the environment of this Hero's Dreamland first?"

The Nightmare Mirror gazed at the ethereal mist surrounding it and quickly sensed the center of the dream world, drifting towards it with some curiosity.

As a nightmare, the magic mirror has the instinct to spy on other people's dreams, let alone now that it has entered the dream of the strongest hero in human history.

An unprecedented gossip instinct stirred within him, and the Nightmare Mirror secretly mused: "A peaceful dream is a haven for the human heart. The most comfortable dream that allows this Warrior of Light to let down his guard must be a paradise to him!"

Before my eyes, the white mist gradually dissipated, revealing several gray-black walls.

The somewhat cramped space contained only a soft, large bed. Iron railings neatly blocked off the outside space, while a small window on the wall reflected a tranquil night sky.

The Dream Mirror floated above the ceiling, which was slightly bumpy, and suddenly froze.

This... isn't this the Demon King's prison?

Looking down at the warrior who was lying on the bed in a "big" shape, dressed in prison clothes and looking quite content, it suddenly began to doubt its own authority.

Was I really dreaming? Was this really not reality? For the first time, the Nightmare Mirror was somewhat frantic, completely unable to distinguish its own location.

—Whose safe haven is located in the enemy's homeland?!

"what?"

Just then, Mino, who was stretching on the large bed, blinked and immediately saw the Nightmare Mirror above: "It's you? The Seventh Demon?"

"Hello, Mino Warrior."

listlessly, the Nightmare Mirror gave Mino a muffled greeting.

Although the power of dreams is peculiar, it is not omnipotent. Only in a lucid dream can a person's mental state be complete and accurate memories be extracted. Therefore, Mino is still able to maintain his rationality in the dream, and the Nightmare Mirror cannot cause him any harm.

But that doesn't matter. The Nightmare Mirror has already prepared a way to interrogate the other party without causing harm.

Once the hero succumbs in the dream, it can trigger the memories in the dream's subconscious, accurately extracting a small portion of the dream memories it needs to deal with Saintess Lena!

Visibly, the expression of the Hero of Light before them suddenly turned serious, clearly realizing something:

"You, the Nightmare Mirror, have actually appeared in my dream. It seems you're getting serious now—"

Mino looked at the Nightmare Mirror in front of her with some wariness.

The opponent's methods are arguably the most troublesome among the nine demons. During the decisive battle on the border, whenever I unleashed my ultimate technique, preparing to find a breakthrough in a demon and severely injure it, the opponent would immediately pull me into a dream, interrupting my offensive.

Although it was only for a brief moment, the combined power of the nine demons was enough to tip the scales of the battle.

Undoubtedly, the other party possesses a terrifying power that even humans have not yet fully understood, a power that directly connects to the dream dimension!

"Hehe, hehehe." The Nightmare Mirror laughed smugly. "That's right, now you're scared, aren't you, Mino the Warrior... This isn't a battlefield now. With your power imprisoned, you can't escape from this dream. I think you already know what I'm going to do, right?"

"Yes, of course." Mino's expression was unmistakably tense. Dreams are sometimes more flawed than memories. If you accidentally reveal your inner thoughts, they will be reflected directly in your dreams, leaving you with no way to hide them.

"You went to such lengths to let me sleep peacefully, and there's only one thing you wanted to do... How despicable!"

The next moment, Mino's eyes hardened, and his tone became more resolute than ever before:

"However, even so, I absolutely cannot reveal my most precious secret, that invaluable information!!!"

Faced with Mino's resounding declaration, the Nightmare Mirror simply chuckled:

"Hehe, that's not up to you, Mino the Warrior."

"Don't let your dreams challenge my expertise. I am a pure demon originating from nightmares, a real being with the desire to peek into dreams, a great demon who wields the power of 'dreams'. In the dream dimension, you can never be my match."

Suddenly, the square mirror glowed faintly, and a series of frozen images appeared on the mirror, flashing before Mino's eyes. Mino's eyes widened immediately.

"This, this is..."

The Nightmare Mirror showed a variety of weapons: longsword, broadsword, bench, Altotai, concentrated sulfuric acid... These were the weapons he had just tried to materialize in his mind to deal with the Nightmare Mirror!

But without any warning, it was blocked and even intercepted by the Nightmare Mirror.

What terrifying methods!

"Although, but, Hero." At this moment, the Nightmare Mirror's voice, tinged with toothache, rang out:

"Isn't it a bit too malicious to use concentrated sulfuric acid on me?"

Chapter 169 Who told you to stuff shit into your dreams!

"Haha, it's not that amazing. I just did well in compulsory education." Mino scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"You're embarrassed just because I praised you?!" The Nightmare Mirror roared, "Don't think I have no rights just because I'm a mirror! Biological weapons are prohibited! Absolutely prohibited!!!"

"Alright, you can decide your ban slots." Mino shrugged, indicating his agreement.

The next moment, the Nightmare Mirror intercepted something again.

The Nightmare Mirror trembled again, glaring angrily at Mino:

"Who gave you permission to stuff shit into your dreams?!"

"Are you a dog?!"

“It seems you have completely taken control of my dreams.” Mino sighed. “My pure and innocent dreams have been defiled by you.”

"Who is committing this defilement?! It's so hard to guess!!!" The Dream Mirror trembled violently. Casting aside its distracting thoughts, it took a deep breath and decided not to waste any more time with this hero: "Hero Mino, it's time for interrogation!"

"Be prepared to be interrogated and forced to reveal important information!"

"Heh, who's afraid of who? If you can do it, then come on." Mino said arrogantly, showing no fear. He had already vaguely guessed the other party's purpose in interrogating him.

The atmosphere of the dream suddenly became stagnant, a result of the emotional influence of both parties and a substantial change in the environment.

Their sharp, confrontational gazes sparked a confrontation in the air, and their words were uttered almost simultaneously.

"Brave Mino, no matter what means I use, I will definitely extract your precious memories with the Holy Maiden!" the Nightmare Mirror threatened.

"No matter what, I will never hand over the location of Kletina's panties!" Mino said resolutely.

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

The next moment, the two of them were both stunned.

The Dream Mirror was a bit messy in the cell. What the heck are Lady Kletina's panties? Is this hero really serious?

"Oh, so you guys didn't come here for that after all?" Mino breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only a pervert would go for that!!!"

The Nightmare Mirror realized what was happening and was extremely shocked.

Could this perverted hero really be... hiding Lady Kletina's panties? I'm so envious... no, I mean, how despicable!!!

“However, if you really think that my few memories can shake Lena’s emotions, then you are sorely mistaken.” Mino’s expression softened, and he appeared extremely relaxed.

"That's the legendary Ice Saintess, the perfect match for the holy relic, the Heart of Ice. Even though she and I share a bond comparable to childhood sweethearts, she won't be defeated by a little bit of sadness!"

The next moment, the hero of light before us shone with boundless light!

The Nightmare Mirror was shaken, amazed by the unwavering belief displayed by the hero before it. This dream was ultimately the hero's domain; in this dream world interwoven with subconscious thoughts, dreams were the best language.

At this moment, it clearly felt the other party's heartfelt trust, and it did not waver in the slightest!

Could it be... that the strategist and the others really went in the wrong direction? The Nightmare Mirror looked at Mino's resolute face and seemed to waver slightly.

"That's a real shame." Even before the fight had begun, the Nightmare Mirror seemed to be contemplating defeat, shaking its head with a hint of regret.

"I had prepared many comfortable methods of torture..."

"By the way, what kind of memories do you need here?"

The dazzling light emanating from Mino suddenly subsided.

He introduced with great enthusiasm, "I've been involved in most of Lena's failed blind dates. It's a large quantity, and you'll be satisfied. Want to give it a try? It will definitely make her heartbroken!"

"Your dreams are truly controlled with incredible freedom!" The Nightmare Mirror exclaimed in shock once again.

"How about I give you this power over dreams? You almost convinced me!"

Although the Nightmare Mirror was somewhat tempted by the memories Mino mentioned, it still chose to believe Swell's deduction for the time being and lowered its body: "What I need is your memory of the events leading up to and following the secret letter you sent back to the capital on the eve of the final battle."

"It's only been a little over a month, I don't think you've forgotten yet, Heroic One—"

"That letter?" Mino was stunned.

Don't even mention forgetting; this important memory will never fade in his heart, even after another ten or twenty years!

But why would the other party want to find this out through interrogation?

Mino glanced suspiciously up and down at the Nightmare Mirror and said, "In that case, bring on whatever torture methods you have!"

He has now more or less figured out the situation. Although it is in his dream, the other party has the added power of authority, and he can only be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the other party.

Then I only have one choice: withstand the interrogation and never give in!

“If I’m not mistaken, while your torture is irresistible, it also has a fatal weakness!” Mino said in a deep voice, looking at the Nightmare Mirror.

"Time! Time flows at the same rate as in the real world during a lucid dream. In other words, if I can survive tonight, when I wake up, it will mean your defeat!"

"As expected of the strongest hero in human history, his combat intuition is truly exceptional." Seeing that he had been seen through at a glance, the Nightmare Mirror didn't mince words and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Therefore, what I have prepared are all powerful methods that can make you submit in a short time and directly extract your memories!"

"Hehe, this is a torture method I searched through the desires and dreams of countless people's subconscious, covering all groups of people... No one can refuse it, not even you, the impenetrable warrior, will be subdued by it!"

"Gudong!"

Upon hearing this, Mino, who had been so composed, suddenly swallowed hard, her confidence waning.
