Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1208: The Nightmare Demon Gathering



Within the endless void that connected all Fractured Nightmare Realms, there was a large sea of pure nightmare void, stretching into thousands of rivers that fractured off the Main Nightmare into countless Realms that continued emerging endlessly across the world.

Amidst them, there were several figures, dozens after dozens of these beings, walking across an endless castle made of darkness and covered with crimson eyes. Each castle corridor led to a different realm of many shapes and sizes, created from the endless nightmares, trauma, and hatred of humanity.

From all these doors, these beings came, in all shapes and sizes, Nightmares. The

embodiment of humanity's deepest fears, their traumas, their hatred, and their insanity and madness. Yet they weren't the normal ones.

No, these weren't little Nightmares.

They were covered with sharp horns, they looked slightly more humanoid and "perfect" than the other Nightmares. They could talk to one another, and even interact much better as well. They were intelligent.

They were Nightmare Demons.

They walked across the endless corridors with smiles on their faces, after so long, the Second Gathering had finally begun, the Nightmare Demons walked forward, gathering inside an enormous black hall.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Illuminated by purple-colored flames floating everywhere, the Demons born from people's fears, traumas, hatred, and pain walked forward.

And right above them, standing on the second floor of the hall, looking down at every other Nightmare Demon, five of these Demons stared down at them.

Their appearances couldn't even be seen, shrouded by darkness, but their silhouettes were barely visible.

A small one with little imp-like wings was floating around, it had small horns.

A tall demon with long arms and claws, and a single horn that came from their head, pointing upwards.

A burly one with an enormous body, several arms, and three heads, each with a single crimson eye.

A demon with a seductive and feminine silhouette, wearing some sort of very tight dress, with two horns that spiraled downwards and long hair.

And lastly, a tall demon whose silhouette resembled an average-looking man, with long hair and two horns that unified into a ring with a red jewel in the middle.

"I'm glad you've gathered here, my kind," he spoke first. "It has been a few years since the First Gathering! And I can see that there are many new faces here. It fills me with joy to know that the Nightmares of Humanity have given birth to more of our kind. Compared to them, we are perfect beings. Blessed by the power of Nightmares and also intelligent. Alone we can conquer the world... yet why don't we do it?"

He quickly glanced at everyone with his four glowing eyes.

"Can someone answer me why haven't we done it yet?"

A Demon below quickly spoke.

"Because the Humans have developed Dream Hearts and are fighting back?" "Correct!"

The Demons clapped, glancing at the demon that answered and praising him. However, a second later, that Nightmare Demon started inflating like a balloon and exploded. SPLAAAT!

Silence fell in the entire hall, as the Nightmare Demons glanced back at the Five.

"See? I'm merciful, he died without knowing he was wrong," the man said.

"Did you had to do that? Our kind is very rare, please don't kill Nightmare Demons," said the woman by his side.

"My bad, it was an impulse. After all the things that made me... make me a bit impulsive," the man laughed. "Now... The very reason why we, Nightmare Demons, have not overtaken the world, which is rightfully ours as the new race of intelligent beings is because... we are too few!"

The Nightmare Demons gasped, stepping back.

"Even after the Nightmare Realms opened, human population has still maintained itself above five billion!" the Nightmare Demon said. "And what about us? We're not even a hundred! We need more of our kind, right?"

"It's a bit hard to find more of our kindred because of the necessary conditions for our birth," said the woman. "I, as one of the few that can birth our kind, can only make one every year, unfortunately that's not enough. Hence why I told you not to kill them!"

"Yes, I apologize," sighed the man. "Anyways, this gathering today is not just to feast on the Dreams of Humans we've gathered today, but also to talk about something important. An ongoing project of ours..."

"Ongoing project?"

"What could it be?"

"Is it related with creating more of our kind?"

The Nightmare Demons were confused, wondering what was being talked about.

"Indeed! I assume everyone already knows about Dream Hearts, right? The thing every human that doesn't die against Soot develop." Said the man. "Boy, open the door."

"Yes!"

The smallest of the silhouettes nodded, flying towards a large door behind them and opening it wide, the entire wall came off, revealing the rest of the castle.

A gigantic treasure of pink-colored crystals piling up to the thousands, they all came out, flooding half of the hall where the Nightmare Demons were located.

Some of them immediately noticed what this was.

"Well! Our efforts have paid off. Through tricking foolish humans all these years..." the man spoke. "We've secured a stash of tens of millions! Pretty good, right? Those foolish Dream Warriors, as they call themselves... they die so easily! It is as if humans have become our farms of Dream Hearts, they're delicious, right? They can keep us strong if we eat a few every now and then but... They are not for eating."

The woman at his side smiled, walking towards the Dream Hearts and then, suddenly turning into an endless black fog encompassing it all.

"Now, my beloved will show you all what is what we've been working on this entire time!"

RUMBLE!

The entire dark castle trembled, the Dream Hearts started being absorbed by the endless black fog, rapidly disappearing one after another, then, countless black runes appeared, spreading across the walls and the ceiling.

And what was born from it was a giant mass of black and red flesh, tentacles wiggling everywhere, and enormous growths from every piece of flesh, rapidly absorbing the Dream Hearts and then creating something.

Something hideous.
