The Nightmare Cat Lamps created a nightmare sphere and packed the entire smelting furnace inside it. Then the Cat Lamps gathered around it.
"Meow-ao! Meow-ao!"
They sang the Meow Reunion Song in unison, relentlessly striking the nightmare sphere with their tails. Hundreds of tails hammered against it every second, pouring energy into it without pause. The sphere compressed and compressed until it was the size of a ping-pong ball. Cat Bo stuffed it into her tail, and that was that.
This furnace had been the core of the region. Once it was gone, this stretch of nightmare began to collapse.
"Mountains shake and earth trembles! Meow-ao!"
The Nightmare Giant Cat Lamps laughed gleefully amid the collapse of this chaotic region. As evil Cat Lamps, they loved nothing more than this kind of grand spectacle.
"Alright."
Jiang Han spoke calmly, closing her eyes as she silently recited an incantation.
She opened her eyes.
The doll's black eyes were instantly flooded with an icy hue, like flawless, nearly translucent blue gemstones.
The next moment, ice emerged, wind and snow swept in, and winter howled in fury.
The collapsing cracks in the air seemed to have been forcibly plugged shut.
Or rather, frozen over.
A sharp pain pierced Jiang Han's eyes, and she closed them again.
Blue-black tears of blood seeped from her eyes.
"Your body?"
Chen Ligu asked from beside her.
"It's close to collapsing, but it's worth it. I've driven my magic into this space. Like swimming fish, it'll occupy this space's 'main load-bearing pillars,' freezing and devouring them. To destroy a nightmare this vast, this is one of the few effective methods."
As Jiang Han spoke, she curiously glanced to the side.
The power of the Eternal Ice Eye had damaged the doll's ocular organs, seemingly causing them to change.
