Nightmare Mythos

Chapter 84: Conceptualization

Landing on the paper floor that really felt like a cushion to land for a brief moment, Cesar bounced back up after being propelled by the same floor and immediately froze at his position when he realized his group was missing.

"Agh!"

Swiftly balancing himself mid-air, Cesar immediately took an immediate forced halt, adhering to another yet of heretic's words from earlier, knowing he had been right once of their dive.

Without even his warnings regarding the dive, he and his group wouldn't have been able to land safely and would've flattened blood on the ground that turned mushed due to the harsh conditions.

Or there was already one?

Because as of the moment, it seemed the paper floor they landed on had been different. Probably because others were wrong in their judgment that resulted in a change, they had to make minute modifications to slightly force themselves to hover on the side.

Not Cesar though. Even if he only had one eye left to him, he was able to judge and pinpoint the right landing.

'I guess they're near. There's no need to worry about anything. Amar and Quentin who didn't do well with fighting can survive on their own just like what they did before. We just got separated now,'

Cesar rest assured himself in this thinking as he remained in his motionless position, still unsure what to expect in this scenario. Even so, he trusted his guts more than ever and it was telling him to stop.

The library wasn't finished with its work after all.

Above everyone else in the library, the roof which is just yet another amazingly designed bookshelves that was once everyone had stepped onto before the fluctuations, was being reworked yet again.

No one knew when it would be finished.

'Tsk, next time I'll look up to see if the roof has been finished. I'll trust my heightened senses to give me when to move or if I spot someone already moving...' Cesar paused, 'Meanwhile, if I was on the Fixed Period, I might as well use it as a time to study what I currently have.'

Suddenly, something that he had been pushing to do until now was to study the power, a concept that appeared in his head for whatever reason he wasn't aware of.

It's like he had been finally blessed throughout all the shit he had gone through and the goddess of luck gave him another good reward for it.

'These three... if I can learn them somehow, it will exponentially increase my survival rate. Thank you whoever had given me this!'

Cesar mused inwardly before he heard a loud creak that reverberated throughout the library and swiftly came to a stop.

For whatever reason, Cesar considered it as the library finishing its work. The moment he did, his gaze went upward, and he could see the other half of the library that became its roof was done.

They can move now.

Rumble—!

But as if it wasn't done yet, Cesar heard and felt a tremor at his back which he couldn't help but turn around to look at it.

There, hundreds of meters away from him was a huge Nightmare running towards him.

Rumble—!

And at its back, a much larger entity was chasing down this Nightmare as if hungry to devour every being of this Nightmare.

"Huh!?"

The only problem is that this Nightmare isn't being chased by a higher-level Corrupted human or a Nightmare that is much stronger than itself if the Nightmare can even determine its strength it in the first place.

The one chasing it was a freaking huge shelf.

Two of its wooden panels were slanted and seemed to act as its brows. It seemed to be frowning while sprinting towards Nightmare.

"I'll be damned!"

After getting out of the Fixed Period, Cesar encountered an absurd scene.

He also started running away from the Large Frowning Shelf.
