"No cooperation!"
Ethan stuck firmly to the principle that his body had to remain complete, resolutely refusing to share it with anyone else.
Especially not with such a sinister foreign object.
["Fine, don't cooperate. Let's see how you deal with these Nightmare Giants."]
The Eye of Nightmare laughed darkly, seemingly certain that Ethan had no way to deal with these Dream Giants.
But Ethan tossed the Eye of Nightmare toward those Dream Giants without the slightest hesitation. The Eye of Nightmare was instantly dumbfounded and immediately began screaming in Ethan's mind.
["What are you doing!"]
"If you're useless, why should I keep you?"
Ethan looked completely indifferent.
Seeing that it was about to land on a Dream Giant, the Eye of Nightmare was so frightened that its pupil instantly contracted as it said, ["I'm useful! Very useful! Don't throw me to the Dream Giants. They really will eat me!"]
"Useful? Then show me!"
Ethan knew very well.
The fact that the Eye of Nightmare could enter this dream world with him should mean that it was the consciousness left behind by the Nightmare's main body.
After all, a physical body couldn't enter a dream.
So… Even if the Eye of Nightmare was eaten by those so-called Dream Giants, it would only be the consciousness left behind by the Nightmare's main body that was eaten. Ethan naturally wasn't worried at all. Instead, the one who should be worried was the Nightmare's main body.
["Then promise me. Promise that after I prove my usefulness, you absolutely won't hurt me!"]
"I'm not promising," Ethan stuck his tongue out at the Eye of Nightmare and said, "You're the one who's about to die, not me. Why should I promise you?"
"Damn bastard!"
The Eye of Nightmare was furious.
Unfortunately, it couldn't stay angry for more than three seconds before a Dream Giant grabbed it. The Dream Giants seemed to know that this thing was delicious, too, as they all started drooling over the Eye of Nightmare.
"Energy!"
"There is actually such a pure source of dreams!"
"This is great!"
The Dream Giants were overjoyed.
And this time, the Eye of Nightmare was genuinely terrified.
After all, it was only a wisp of the Nightmare's divine sense, and if it were eaten, it would really be eaten.
It was so frightened that it no longer dared to bargain with Ethan and shouted at him, ["Attack below their knees, quickly! These Dream Giants are actually only as tall as their knees. Everything above that is just an illusion they've manifested, and it's immune to all kinds of attacks!"]
"Now that's more like it!"
Hearing this, Ethan immediately charged toward the leading Dream Giant and kicked it in the left knee.
But what was surprising was… the enormous Dream Giant was sent flying as if someone had kicked it in the head, its entire body flying straight backward.
And it was the kind where its head flew first, followed by the rest of its body.
"Ah!"
The Dream Giant let out a scream.
The other Dream Giants also stared at Ethan in a daze, looking somewhat unable to believe it.
How did Ethan know…
That their weakness was below their knees?
Smack!
After kicking the ten-meter-tall Dream Giant down, Ethan even arrogantly walked over to it, pried open the Dream Giant's huge hand, and retrieved the Eye of Nightmare.
The fear in the Eye of Nightmare's eyes had yet to fade as it said, ["Big brother, boss, can you stop playing such exciting games? My heart really can't take it!"]
"Sure, but you have to cooperate," Ethan glanced sideways at the Eye of Nightmare and said, "I need a sword right now, or maybe something that looks like a sword. Otherwise, if I can't beat these Dream Giants, I'll have no choice but to leave you behind as bait to cover my retreat."
["I'll find one! I'll find one! I'll find one for you, okay?"]
The Eye of Nightmare understood now.
This heartless man really was capable of doing anything. He had absolutely no intention of sparing it.
So it didn't dare play any more tricks and could only honestly cooperate, ["The third Dream Giant on the left has a short sword on it. It's tucked at the back of the Dream Giant's waist."]
"Got it!"
After learning that these Dream Giants were merely transformed dwarfs, Ethan naturally no longer felt any awe toward them.
And because the Nightmare Giants had been caught off guard the moment Ethan appeared, with him even kicking their leader flying, they were unable to gauge Ethan's true strength.
So the Nightmare Giants actually stood where they were, becoming somewhat at a loss.
After all… in reality, they were merely a group of dwarfs, naturally inferior and timid.
These dwarfs only became somewhat confident after entering dreams and transforming into Dream Giants. But Ethan's kick that sent their leader flying, combined with his arrogant attitude, almost instantly shattered the dwarfs' confidence.
So they still hadn't recovered from their panic, naturally allowing Ethan to charge past countless giants that could have killed him with a single punch, and run directly to the third Dream Giant on the left.
Then…
Ethan jumped high into the air and slammed his fist into the Dream Giant's knee.
"Ah…"
Once again, a Dream Giant nearly ten meters tall was sent flying by Ethan, a tiny human less than two meters tall, with a single punch.
