107 Ch. 107 Nightmare (2/2)

'Grrrrrr!'

Niken turned towards the source of the sound reflexively and was very surprised at what she saw. Her whole body trembled with fear when she saw a giant black wolf walking towards her.

The size of this beast was very abnormal because its height was as high as a coconut tree, and its eyes were red as fresh blood.

But that was not what made her tremble in fear. What scared her to death was seeing the wild animal biting a human's neck with its fangs and then eating the human head in front of her.

Niken's knees became weak in an instant as she fell down to sit helplessly while watching the wolf with a horrified face.

The monster had finished chewing its food then opened its mouth at her, making Niken unable to breathe and scream as loud as she could.

”NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

”Niken! Shhh, Niken!”

”NO!!! Don't come!!”

Niken kept struggling as hard as she could while two hands curbed her movements and made her even more frightened. For a few moments, she could not hear soft whispers in her ears.

”Niken, it's me. Calm down, you're only dreaming. Sssst, calm down, please.”

Niken began to stop struggling when she realized the voice whispered in her ear was Kazuto's voice. Her breathing was irregular, remembering the terrible dream she had earlier. She felt a gentle caress on her back and soothing whispers from Kazuto to calm her down.

Once she realized she was out of her nightmare, Niken grabbed Kazuto's clothes and cried inside his arms.

”Shhh, everything was just a bad dream. You're safe here, no need to worry.”

Right, it was just a bad dream. Niken tried to convince herself.

But why does it feel so real??

”What's wrong? What happened?” Lionel, who was about to cook his prey, instantly put down his quarry when he heard hysterical screams from Niken.

”She seems to have a nightmare,” Kazuto answered in a sarcastic tone. ”Isn't your training too hard for her?”

”...”

Lionel did felt a bit guilty for putting too much pressure. He expected too much for the girl so he couldn't be patient and wanted to finish this first stage of training soon.

Even so, he was sure that the nightmare Niken had had nothing to do with his training.

”Looks like she fell asleep again,” added Lionel did not care the cynical gaze from Kazuto towards him.

Actually, Lionel wanted to continue this training shortly, especially since he had let Niken sleep for six hours. They couldn't waste more time than this, considering they only have three months here.

But seeing Niken's rapid progress, Lionel decided to let the girl sleep as long as she wanted. After the girl woke up, he would not let Niken rest again.
