Chapter 382 Lessons
The Nightmare King knew what pain was and... overestimating one's own abilities.

At the beginning of the battle, the Nightmare King was indeed majestic, stepping on black flames, and continuously releasing high-level dark magic that covered the sky and the sun.

Unfortunately, those magics had no effect on Luo Qiu, and couldn't even break the magic barrier that Luo Qiu casually unfolded.

Seeing that magic had no effect, the Nightmare King was indeed a little panicked. The ability he was most proud of was that he could rely on the horn on his head to communicate with the elements of heaven and earth and cast various magic spells with only a small amount of magic power.

Since magic has no effect, we can only resort to close combat. Soon the Nightmare King calmed down. Its close combat ability is also not weak.

He rushed in front of Luo Qiu, and the sharp horns on his head burst out with a black light and stabbed forward fiercely. The speed was so fast that no one except Meng Li could see the speed of the Nightmare King.

The weaker ones were all startled; they only saw a black line.

"Sir Knight, be careful!" Nelise shouted subconsciously.

The three maids even had the urge to take action, but were stopped by Meng Li.

Meng Li shook his head slightly at them, indicating that they should continue watching.

Are you kidding? The evil god Zog was easily killed by Luo Qiu. How could he fall into the hands of a beast?
Obviously, it's impossible.

Luo Qiu held the horn in one hand, looking down at the Nightmare King. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it back.

The Nightmare King roared, but it was useless. Luo Qiu's hands were tightly clamped on the horn like an iron clamp.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and the horn burst out with powerful dark magic. The Nightmare King wanted to release magic at close range to blast Luo Qiu's hand away.

"I'll teach you a profound lesson."

Luo Qiu pulled hard with his five fingers, and the horn that had just shed its shell was pulled out by the roots, with large pieces of skin, flesh and blood attached to it.

"Ow—!"

The Nightmare King let out a heart-wrenching scream, fell to the ground and rolled around, wanting to die.

The unicorn horn is the source of magic power. When the unicorn horn was pulled out, the Nightmare King lost 80% of his magic power in an instant. Now he is not even as good as an ordinary nightmare.

This is the price of doing the wrong thing.

The Nightmare King finally woke up. He recalled that day when the man in front of him just waved his hand and the space collapsed, and the world turned upside down. Why did he suddenly get into a fight with him?
There's no point regretting it now.

Luo Qiu cleaned up the blood stain on the horn a little bit, looked at it carefully for a few times, frowned and was not very satisfied.

The Nightmare King was born not long ago and is too young. This horn is still in its growth stage. If it is plucked out now, it can barely be used to make a rare item. If it reaches maturity, it should be able to be used as the main material for a legendary item.

Come to think of it, it's too much of a loss. You know, in order to cultivate the Nightmare King Luo Qiu, a divine gem was paid.

Although god-level materials may not be able to create a divine artifact 100%, it is certain that a legendary item can be made.

With a light sigh, Luo Qiu put away the horn. It didn't matter. His original purpose was not for high-grade materials anyway.

The Nightmare King twitched on the ground for a long time, but no one came forward. Nellis, who had the best temper, had sympathy in her eyes, but when she thought of what it had just done to Luo Qiu, she became angry again.

Meng Li even exuded a murderous aura. If Luo Qiu hadn't warned her in advance, she would have wanted to kill the Nightmare King.

It's just a monster. It turned out to be rebellious while being raised. Why keep it if not kill it?

Shenhong walked to Luo Qiu's side, pinching the corner of her clothes, with a face full of guilt. She had been the one who had been training Black Nightmare. Shenhong had never expected that the Black Nightmare, who had always been humble and submissive, would look like this after evolving.

Patting Shenhong's shoulder, Luo Qiu comforted her: "It's not your fault. I didn't think it through. After all, she is a creature that has fallen into darkness. Her heart has been devoured once. It is reasonable that she would rebound after gaining power." "But..."

“Don’t overthink it, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

"Not a bad thing?"

Everyone looked at Luo Qiu. It had come to this point. The Nightmare King was useless after his horns were plucked out, and the precious dark gem that Luo Qiu had spent money on was also wasted.

No one has ever heard of a horn growing back after being plucked out.

Everyone is mainly feeling sorry for Luo Qiu's gems, what a huge loss.

"Oooooh... Oooooh..." The Nightmare King was still sobbing, but the bleeding on his head had been stopped by magic. The intense pain could not be eliminated for a while.

"Stop shouting. If you can't bear this little pain, why don't you come to our table tonight?" Luo Qiu said with a smile.

The Nightmare King shuddered and stopped shouting immediately, but his mouth was twitching, showing that he was suppressing his shouting.

"Are you awake?" Luo Qiu asked.

The Nightmare King nodded quickly. Not only did he wake up, he now regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Luo Qiu threw a plant of Bright Grass on the ground and said, "Very good, eat this and I will forgive you for what you did to me just now, otherwise..."

The threat is evident.

The Nightmare King was stunned. It was a monster of darkness, opposed to light. Things of light were poison to it. Luo Qiu's behavior was equivalent to poisoning it in person. Eating the light grass would cause great harm to it. If it was in its prime, it would be fine. It would just make it feel uncomfortable for a while. But in its current state, eating another light grass would definitely make things worse. It might even kill it.

The Nightmare King looked at Crimson with pleading eyes, hoping that Crimson would say something good for it, but Crimson did not help it. Instead, it just stared at it with ice-cold eyes.

Eat it, it’s better to eat the grass of light than to eat it at the table.

The Nightmare King accepted his fate, lowered his head and swallowed the Light Grass in one gulp.

The light grass is not rare, it is a low-level material, but it contains a trace of very pure light magic.

After eating the light grass, the power of light conflicted with his own magic power. The two forces rushed around in his body. The Nightmare King rolled his eyes and fainted.

Luo Qiu shook his head. It was too useless. This was just the beginning. If the Nightmare King wanted darkness and light to coexist, he still had a long way to go.

"Luo Qiu, why do you have to feed it light grass?" Meng Li asked curiously.

"Hehe, this time it's actually a coincidence. This horn should have been plucked out sooner or later."

Luo Qiu explained briefly that pulling out the horn is a necessary process if the Nightmare King is to accommodate the power of light in his body. Otherwise, the power of light will be forcibly expelled by the horn when absorbing materials with light attributes.

After the horn is pulled out, there is a possibility of accommodating light, but of course it is also accompanied by the risk of exploding and dying, so it is necessary to start from the lowest level of light grass and slowly let it adapt.

"From now on, its daily ration will be light grass. Feed it three plants a day, and increase the amount after a week." Luo Qiu said.

"Okay." Crimson nodded.

Everyone mourned for the Nightmare King in silence. Although he was hateful, he was also a pitiful creature. It would be a hassle for him to eat Light Grass every meal from now on.
