Chapter 173: Martha’s Nightmare
After a few operations, along with Warfarin’s new novel, the Demon of Fear, Flanders discovered that he had accumulated a lot of fear points.
Coincidentally, he could increase the level of Lord of Fear once.
The Lord of Fear was now level 3.
To increase it to level 4, he needed 100 million fear points.
This took Flanders a few days to barely gather enough.
He had to think of a way to increase the number of fear points he needed.
As his skill level increased, the number of fear points he needed also increased. If he did not increase the number of fear points he needed, he would not be able to level up.
“Let’s put Rei’s matter aside for now.”
“After leveling up, let’s go to the school to take a look.”
[Domain of Fear level 3, Lord of Fear Level 4]
The number of fear points dropped instantly, causing Flanders’s heart to ache.
However, when his gaze landed on the skill, all the heartache disappeared.
First, it was Deterrence of Fear.
Creatures within the Domain would feel a huge amount of mental pressure. The Domain would adjust itself according to the creature’s inner fluctuations, causing the creature to gradually collapse.
Next was Aura of Fear.
Enemies and allies within the Domain would receive huge gains and losses. The buff effect would change according to the level of the Domain.
Enemies: reduce mental resistance, stop the speed of energy circulation, research the current state of the creature’s heart, continuously apply fear illusions.
Allies: reduce energy consumption, increase energy replenishment, continuously amplify the fear of the enemy and strengthen oneself, amplifying the effect as the Domain level increased.
Next, it was Illusion of Fear.
Creatures within the Domain would have a probability of seeing an indescribable terrifying scene. (probability increased)
Finally, it was Lord of Fear.
As the master of the Domain, he could change the Domain at will.
Within the Domain, one’s life and Domain were bound together. If the Domain was not destroyed, the Lord would not die.
In short, the effect of this upgrade was not bad. As expected of wasting so many fear points.
The next upgrade would require 200 million fear points.
Tensley University.
Flanders had returned to this place.
This was his ranch plan, and it was also the starting point of the Kingdom of Fear. This place was very important to him.
Therefore, he had even arranged for the strange creature mother’s family to stay here. He asked them to keep an eye on this place and not allow any mages to sneak in.
As time passed, the university was almost completely under his control.
Most of the students had already become part of the plan.
Flanders first observed for a while, and then found someone who interested him.
...
Martha was a third-year student. Her family was poor, and she firmly believed that studying was the only way out.
Because of her pretty face, Martha had been very popular with the students on campus ever since she first entered the school.
Many people praised her for her good looks, so over the years, she naturally fell in love with dressing up. Every time she went out, she would dress up in the dormitory, and it was a beautiful scenery when she walked on campus.
She gradually fell in love with this feeling.
Unconsciously, she became more and more concerned about her makeup. It became her everything.
Even if she did not study, she had to maintain her makeup.
She felt that even if she did not rely on her studies, with her beautiful face, she could do well in the future.
However, these few days, Martha was about to collapse.
She had been in this teaching building for a few days. Logically speaking, after staying here for a few years, she should have been clear about the passage of the teaching building, but she could not get out and could not find a way out.
She had not touched her makeup for a few days.
She had not washed her hair for a few days.
Martha was devastated by this, but the only thing that comforted him was that she had not met anyone in the past few days.
Otherwise, people would definitely be surprised to see her like this.
“The flower from Tensley, the rumored Martha, is actually so sloppy? Is this what she looks like?”
She was very afraid of hearing such words from others.
Fortunately, there was no one else. Fortunately, she was the only one.
Just as she was thinking about this...
She heard footsteps not far ahead. It seemed to be the voices of two boys.
Martha was startled. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, ‘I can’t let them see me like this!’
She looked left and right and quickly hid in a classroom nearby.
As soon as she entered, she locked the door, cocked her ears, and focused her attention on the corridor, not noticing what was in the classroom she was in.
Hurry up and leave.
She wanted the two boys to leave quickly.
But strangely, the voices of the two boys did not disappear, as if they had just stopped there.
Martha waited for a long time.
She was getting more and more annoyed.
Forget it, she would not leave, and she would not go out.
As long as she did not make a sound, the two boys outside would not know that she was here, and they would not see her like this.
Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly felt something cut across her neck.
She subconsciously pushed it away and did not care.
But a few seconds later, something cut across his back, as if something was still on her shoulder.
Martha turned around subconsciously.
Suddenly, a rough, twisted scarecrow made of countless pieces of straw appeared in her sight.
Especially when she happened to meet that pair of dark eyes.
For a moment, Martha felt her heart slow down by half a beat.
Scarecrow!
It was actually a scarecrow!
There had been too many rumors about scarecrows in school recently. Even if she did not care about these things, she had heard about it from many classmates.
According to the rumors, the scarecrow was the god of death. As long as he met it, there would only be death.
But at that time, what did she care about?
She only cared about whether her makeup was good or not, and whether it was as good as yesterday’s.
She did not expect that she would meet the rumored god of death, the scarecrow!
“Classmate... are you... here for class?”
The scarecrow’s mouth opened and closed, and it actually spoke in human language!
“Hello... teacher...”
At the same time, orderly voices came from below the podium.
Martha looked over with red eyes.
They were rows and rows of scarecrow students!
There were more than ten of them!
All of them had empty eyes, empty mouths, and stiff limbs, but their bodies were facing her.
And in the middle of all the seats, there was an empty seat, and that seat seemed to be prepared for her.
“Ahhhhh!!”
At this moment, Martha did not care if there were any boys outside.
She just wanted to leave this classroom.
Clang! Clang!
Martha shook off the scarecrow like crazy and pulled at the classroom door. The entire classroom and even the corridor were filled with loud banging sounds.
What made Martha the most desperate was that she actually could not pull open the door!
The door was as heavy as a thousand pounds. There was no movement at all!
Her eyes were red, and tears were flowing down her face. She looked back in despair, and the scarecrow with a strange expression was approaching her.
Finally.
Martha could not bear the pressure, and she directly screamed and fainted.
And at the moment she fell down.
The scarecrow in the classroom disappeared, the classroom door was pulled open, and in the corridor, the voices of the two boys talking instantly disappeared...
