Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 356: The Queen of the Dream Demons
1.
Among the ghostly spirits who have lost their reason, there are rare individuals with fragments of their former selves remaining. These special entities are to be gradually dealt with through conversations, negotiations, or confrontations as one carves a path deeper into the chaotic city of the eternal night, a city trampled under hooves and burning with fire arrows.
[The city’s chaos level exceeds 33%.]
Whoosh! Crash!
“The master has commanded complete destruction!” “Clear the path to the inner city walls!” “Grrrrr!”
Boom. Boom. With the sound that shook the earth, the giant ghostly soldiers charged toward the inner city walls, crashing into them with their bodies. That impact caused ripples in the consciousness of the ghostly spirits that were dormant in their semi-conscious states.
“We... what were we doing here...?” “I’m dizzy... I remember entering to find the treasure in the inner city, but...” “Where did my comrades go...?”
[The city’s chaos level exceeds 66%.]
The tide turned in the enemy's favor as demon creatures with wings and tails, along with grim reapers wielding scythes and carrying bones, poured out.
“Don’t think too hard, dear ♡” “Westerners ♡ if you drive out these invaders, we’ll have another fun time ♡” “Kill the invaders.” “If you can’t kill them, you die.” “Hehehe...” “Ugh...”
The demons who had already surpassed their mental corruption limits. Their fate unfolded in real-time across the city wall, as some demons, rolling their eyes, threw themselves into cannons to become bomb demons, while others, driven mad by the fear of death, ran while setting themselves on fire, becoming incendiary spirits!
“Disgusting bastards! Don’t they even realize what they’re being controlled by?!” “They’re mad. The master didn’t want to destroy this city for no reason.”
For those who had crossed the threshold of mental corruption, the Dream Demon, who once bestowed upon them a paradise, was nothing more than a wrinkled creature that inserted tentacles into their brains and shocked them with electrical currents, from the perspective of the Silent Swordsman’s subordinates, who retained their sanity.
“Is there no brave demon who will plunge into the enemy’s ranks? The first to achieve results shall be granted the rank of an official, with the right to command the court officials.” “The position of an official is mine!!” “With such a position, all the gold and treasures of this city will be mine!!”
Haggard ghosts, dressed in stone coffins, stone swords, and ragged clothes, poured out of the wide-open inner city gates, thousands of them flooding out in waves. As soon as they clashed their swords with the demons, the ghosts, whose eyes couldn’t focus, screamed loudly.
“My holy sword cannot be scratched!” “Do you see this magnificent armor?” “You crazy bastards.”

The terrifying strength of their right hands swept through the ghostly hordes, throwing them around with ferocity greater than ever before.
Crash! Thud thud thud thud.
The enemy knights and ghostly cavalry, breaking through the collapsed enemy lines, advanced toward the inner city.
“It’s time to avenge the mistakes of the last war. Tear through the enemy lines!”
Inside the inner city was a hellish scene. Rotten water from corpses had collected in puddles, and the bodies of the dead demons lay scattered everywhere. Death and plague. The environment here was not made for the living. It was a holy land for the Dream Demon’s creatures, who live off the dreams of the dead, and the Grim Reaper’s creatures, who reap the souls of the diseased and dead. This is the city of eternal night. The reality of an undying night.
“Had I ventured out to scout, bewitched by the word ‘night,’ I would have been caught in the march of these demons and lost my bones.”
Behind the elite knights who infiltrated with a small team, the commander of the army, Ya Cheon Myeong Ryang, trembled with unease. The humid and filthy inner city fog still threatens to confuse and bewilder any intruder.
[Psychic contamination is progressing.] [Contamination level has increased by 1%.] [Current contamination level - 10%.]
The Silent Swordsman’s forces shuddered at the changing surroundings and the appearance of the enemy.
“Hahaha.” “Hehehe.” “Can you see our true form now?”
The skin of the wrinkled demons smoothed out, and the tentacles, once controlling their brains, looked as soft as the gentle hands of a woman. The filth on the roadside turned into a feast fit for royalty, and worthless stones shimmered as gold, while swords and armor appeared as valuable treasures. The truth, when known, would shake even the most steadfast, and if they had not witnessed the tragic end of those who were deceived earlier, they would have been unable to avoid the trap!
“Don’t fall for the false calls! Come out, Queen of the Dream Demons. Such tricks won’t work in front of me, the Extreme Bear General!”
With a powerful general and a large force of soldiers, the demons of the city began to realize something. These were no ordinary enemies. They were not to be easily deceived or exploited for their souls like the lowly ones before them. The generals themselves were formidable, but there was one presence who overshadowed all others.
<Blood Doctrine: Blood Mountain Sword Technique> <Dragon’s Blood Ascension>
<Draconic Magic> <Left Horn – Cloud’s Horn> <Blood Cloud Symmetry>
A grotesque woman, clearing the mist of corruption with a blizzard of blood made by her own sword, carving her way while scattering blood and death. If she were not called the Demoness of Carnage, who could possibly hold such a title?
[The city’s chaos level reaches 99%.]
As the last gates of the inner city opened and the path toward the central mansion was cleared, an ominous presence cast a ripple across the entire city. It was the procession of the true ruler of the city of eternal night, the Queen of the Dream Demons.

[Story mode]
The Queen of the Dream Demons. The master of all dream demons declared.
[That will do now.]
At her words, all the demons, the ghostly spirits under the demons’ control, and even the reapers who coexisted with them ceased fighting and retreated. The disciplined movements felt ominous to the Silent Swordsman’s subordinates, who immediately raised their guard and reorganized their formation.
[You, the one who carries the executioner’s will.] [Your adventure has been witnessed through the demons’ dreams.]
The Queen, cloaked in black wings that covered her half body, while the other half had white wings draped like a cloak, appeared before them. Her mesmerizing gaze pierced through the space between her wings, and her presence seemed to freeze the moment.
A sword-wielding enemy knight. The immense right-hand warrior, caught off guard. The Extreme Bear General, baffled. Ya Cheon Myeong Ryang, tense as ever. The bag-carrying man, pinched by the hand of a bandit. Even the wandering merchant, sneaking a glance from behind.
Only the Silent Swordsman, unwavering, kept his sword pointed firmly at the Queen, a symbol of his relentless resolve.
[I know you, but you do not know me.] [You do not know the old name of this forgotten city.] [No one remembers the pride of the priestesses of the Migo temple who once fought a noble crusade to defend this city from the Great Demon’s assault.]
Before the Queen, a faint vision arose. It showed the once beautiful city, which had once shone in brilliant white, reflecting the spirits of the noble priestesses who engraved that grandeur into their hearts.
[I, the High Priestess of Migo, am the only one who retains these memories.] [No one else could resist the blood of the demons and keep their sanity.]
The Queen of the Dream Demons. No, the High Priestess of Migo extended her hand.
[Step aside. All the sinful desires of this city and the corrupt demons belong to me.] [The endless night shall become an eternal barrier, imprisoning them until the day of the final reckoning.] [If you step aside, an immortal and unbreakable barrier will be preserved.]
Fwoosh!!
Following the High Priestess’s hand, the scenery of the once white city of glory returned. The path of glory to the exit spoke to them. The only chance to retreat was now.
[Interaction Choices] [The High Priestess of Migo’s request, you...]
Leave the city.There is no end to this nightmare.Buy time to search for the curse’s medium. (Bandit, Tuta, and baggage carriers enter)I will not listen to excuses. (The Queen of the Dream Demons must be defeated)
Due to a lack of power. Because of a lack of time. Because the contamination was frightening. For countless reasons, no one else had found the medium. An opportunity to search for it has appeared, but the Silent Swordsman does not care.
[▶4. I will not listen to excuses. (The Queen of the Dream Demons must be defeated)]
Slash!
The sweeping sword. Feathers scattering.
[So, it ends like this.] [Those who seek the end of the nightmare must first overcome the nightmare.]
The glorious white city’s scenery is shattered. The priests who had regained their human forms returned to their grotesque Dream Demon forms. A fabricated heaven. A false paradise. While the subordinates of the Silent Swordsman sigh deeply at the tragic city of the Dream Demons, the Silent Swordsman’s heart beats ever slower.
[Defeat the Queen of the Dream Demons.]
The city, full of decay, plague, and death, fits much more with the demons. In other words, this is how it is. If there is no expectation, there is no reason to be disappointed. Such a simple ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) principle.
[Raid Boss-level Demon <Queen of the Dream Demons> enters combat mode.]
The battle to defeat her has begun.
