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

Chapter 1212: Interrogation 1



Thanks to all the things I cooked, we were able to enjoy a really good meal. Eating as much as we wanted without looking weird to the people of this world, we talked about what happened today, and I also told everyone what transpired with... Sofia.

Yeah, Sofia, a bit of an annoying topic, but it had to be talked about even if it was a bit embarrassing!

"Oh my god, is she really like this?" sighed Jonathan. "What can I even do in this situation? This trial is... sure something."

I seriously didn't expect Jonathan to react like this, I guess even her flirting was getting on his nerves. I guess this is the fate of every handsome guy like him, he also had a lot of crazy girls back on Yggdrasil.

"It's ridiculous!" said Partner. "Let's just wreck shit and get all the stuff done and then let's get out of here!"

Meanwhile Partner really just wanted to wreck everything and not go along the trial's rules, which was a bit dangerous.

Do I have to put a leash on her or something? Seriously...

"Ah, well, I had thought about that, but this world..." I muttered. "I think its Cursed." "Cursed?" Lucifer wondered. "There's no way an entire world can be Cursed... Right?"

"My little and innocent Lucifer, you're completely wrong at that. I believe the whole Nightmares everywhere are the off shot of some sort of wicked world-wide curse or something." I said. "But that's just my theory at the end, though Nightmares are really... They truly have a lot of curse-like qualities to them."

"But even then..." Lucifer muttered. "Well, why should we care so much about this world? Once we're done we can leave and be done with it, no?"

That's a fine response from someone that hasn't bonded a bit with the people here and is unaware of the time loop that happens every 7 days.

But that's about to change...

"Hah, well... I discovered something from a certain someone, I've begun to find out a lot of things about this little world," I said. "But how about you tell us more, Nightmare Demon?"

I summoned a floating head, scaring a few of my family members.

"A floating head!" Myconidas laughed, pointing at the thing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Oi! You bastard! Let me go already!"

Yes, the floating head of that Nigthmare Demon, she was pretty much alive in this weakened state.

"She's a Nightmare Demon, most of you heard a bit about her and how I fought her and supposedly "killed her", but that was a lie, she's alive, and she knows a lot," I explained. "So I brought her with me to ask her many questions. She also said something about... a loop, about that this world is repeated many times, and that there's always someone else replacing our roles too. Isn't that right, friend?"

"I'm not your friend!" she said angrily. "T-This is ridiculous, nobody has ever done this to me in over a hundred loops, how come you're so strong?! You're not at all like the other wimps that either ran away or died..."

"See? She's talking about that again!" I said.

Everyone gasped, hearing about it from a Nightmare Demon of this world truly shook them even if a little bit.

"What does she mean by loops?" asked Emeraldine. "Is this what you meant, Maria? Nightmare Demon, does this world... repeats itself every 7 days?"

"Duh! Yeah?!" she groaned. "This damn world is cursed, I tell you! Since that fucking bitch ruined our King's plans and stabbed herself in the damn heart... Ugh, now there's someone replacing her every 7 days, really annoying! Well, not so much, I enjoy killing the weaklings but... this is the first time something like this happens!"

She once more talked insane stuff.

"Stabbed herself in the heart?" Lucifer asked. "Replaced? Are you talking about Maria?" "Yeah!" the Nightmare Demon seemed to not care about revealing more information, it was as if nothing really mattered to her. "This bitch here, she gets replaced every 7 days by someone else. Sometimes it's the Apostle of some Otherworldly God, other times it's some "Isekai'd" Character or whatever. Last time, there was this stupid fucking bitch, she ran away after throwing that Sofia, Emily, and Alma to me, so I ate them and then chased her. She tried to teleport away or something, but I got her and ate her piece by piece, hahaha!"

"W-What..." not even I was able to remain calm, muttering in disbelief. "Really?! You're quite wicked, aren't you? good thing they came back in the loop, but Jesus Christ... Calm down."

"What do you mean with Calm Down? Stop trying to rationalize my actions! I am the embodiment of Humanity's Nightmares!" she roared angrily. "I feast on humans eat their souls and their delicious Dream Hearts! I feed on their hatred, self-loathing, sorrow, and fear! That's what I do, I'm a Nightmare!"

"She's a bit edgy," Nia commented. "Ahem, well... Lady Nightmare Demon, can you tell us more about these loops? Do you know who the names were of the... people we're replacing?" "No idea who you are," said the Nightmare Demon. "Nor I know their name either... It kept changing every loop I got tired of remembering it."

"But how come everyone's memories reset except yours?" asked Jonathan.

"I'm not the only one..." said the Nightmare Demon. "I'm special~ I'm the King's daughter! So my Nightmare Core is connected to the Nightmare Void Sea. Which is unmuted by the flow of time! You see, time might reverse, but the Nightmare Void Sea remains the same, in fact, it worsens every loop! Hahaha!"

"Wait what?! Really?!" Partner asked in disbelief. "How's that even...!"

"We grow stronger every loop while you pitiful humans get weaker! Idiots! Fools! I might not be able to do it myself, but we Nightmares will one day stop the loop from happening!"

The Nightmare "princess" continued laughing, as she shook the entire Shadow Realm with her laughter.

Even as a head, she remained very powerful, I had to use my divinities to keep her fully sealed...
