Zede temporarily abandoned his desire to kill his enemy. His limbs compressed like springs, then exploded with terrifying bouncing force.
Bang! He smashed through the classroom window and landed in the elementary school's playground.
This was the second time Zede had chosen to create distance,
The first had been when he dealt with Mosander, the Acrobatic Troupe's third leader. When his opponent displayed the utterly diseased "Polydactyly (Six-Toed Foot)," Zede had temporarily retreated because he had sensed the danger and needed to respond cautiously.
This time, there were two reasons for his retreat.
First, the situation had exceeded his expectations. In Zede's eyes, the Nightmare Youth had originally been weaker than Catherine, yet he had displayed a level far beyond the last time.
If there were two Nightmares of equal strength but different styles, he needed to take them seriously.
Second, although Zede had held the upper hand in the physical collision just now, his palm had been sliced open to a significant depth. Even after several seconds, it was still throbbing with pain.
He could clearly feel the nerves in his palm continuously transmitting pain signals to his brain.
If he treated his palm as an independent individual, it had just seemed to be fighting a desperate outlaw and had nearly had its head chopped off.
Still, this kind of physical collision had also left Zede rather excited.
As Zede took the initiative to create distance,
the two Nightmares in the classroom chased after him one after another.
Hahahaha!
Catherine was still the same. Eight tentacles supported her enormous body as she directly burst through the wall of the Teaching Building. Amid layers of overlapping feminine laughter, she charged toward the playground.
The other Nightmare was much more restrained, walking out of the Teaching Building with utterly silent steps.
