Chapter 526 - 435: The Nightmare Beast’s Skill

Chapter 526: Chapter 435: The Nightmare Beast’s Skill

Those with a steady disposition could break free faster, but for most who had survived since the beginning of the apocalypse, once their inner fears were awakened, they would once again become afraid of things they thought they had already overcome.

Even Flora Bloom had fallen victim to it before.

However, the Flora Bloom of this life was mentally strong. Coupled with the fact that she had been reborn, she quickly came to her senses when faced with the terrifying scenes from her past life.

Not only that, but she also gave the two-and-a-half-year-old Polly Cross a harsh scolding.

But Flora Bloom’s lecture was like water off a duck’s back to her. It wasn’t until Lex Cross heard Flora Bloom mention the incident and turned his eagle-like gaze toward Polly Cross that the little monkey of a girl took off at lightning speed.

But Lex Cross was not so easily fooled. His black Devouring Power spread out and quickly found Polly Cross as she and the Nightmare Beast were preparing to escape.

He then brought Flora Bloom to the scene in an instant.

Facing Lex Cross and Flora Bloom, whom it suspected of attacking its little master, the Nightmare Beast once again activated its "Attack" skill. But to its surprise, this skill it was so proud of was utterly useless against the two of them.

The next second, Lex Cross bound Polly Cross with his Devouring Power and handed her to Flora Bloom. The Nightmare Beast fared even worse. It was not only enveloped by Lex Cross’s Devouring Power, but a thick net of lightning also fused with the black energy, striking its body and unleashing a series of thunderous CRACKLES.

It looked incredibly painful.

The Nightmare Beast shrieked and collapsed. Polly Cross cried and struggled, trying to rush to the Nightmare Beast’s side, but she was immobilized by Lex Cross’s Devouring Power.

Flora Bloom couldn’t bear the sight of her daughter and the Nightmare Beast and wanted to plead on their behalf. But Lex Cross remained completely unmoved.

"Polly is still young; she doesn’t understand the consequences of her actions. The Nightmare Beast is wild and difficult to tame. If it isn’t disciplined, it will cause trouble sooner or later. It’s not a creature from your space, so you can’t control it. If one day it hurts you when I’m not around..."

Lex Cross glared at his distressed daughter in Flora Bloom’s arms. "Polly Cross, there’s a limit to your mischief. The Nightmare Beast is your Contracted Beast, yet it dared to use its power on your mother. It may not know better, but if you didn’t control it, then it’s your fault. Do you understand what you did wrong?"

’In her past life, Polly was so well-behaved and sensible. But in this life, it’s like she’s the complete opposite, taking mischief to a whole new level. She bullies Selina’s son, Isaac, and takes the Nightmare Beast around to terrorize people at the base.’

’And because she’s our daughter—and only a two-and-a-half-year-old girl at that—the people at the base who get bullied by her don’t dare to say a word.’

Polly Cross stubbornly pouted, whimpering and crying, but refused to say a word.

At two and a half, Polly could speak very clearly and was very smart, but right now, she was in the middle of a tantrum and stubbornly kept her mouth shut.

Flora Bloom’s heart ached watching this, but she knew Lex Cross was right. If they didn’t discipline her properly, this little girl would absolutely become completely uncontrollable in the future.

Seeing that Polly was still stubbornly silent, Lex Cross, without a change in his expression, intensified the Nightmare Beast’s punishment.

"WHIMPER...!" The Nightmare Beast suddenly let out a miserable shriek, its four legs thrashing wildly on the ground in pain. It tried to fly away but was completely immobilized by Lex Cross’s power.

Seeing the Nightmare Beast’s state, Polly Cross let out a loud "WAAAH!" and burst into tears.

"Daddy, don’t! Polly was wrong!"

"What did you do wrong?"

Never mind Polly; when Lex Cross’s face hardened, his entire being exuded a chilling, frosty aura that made even Flora Bloom’s heart tremble, though she was standing right beside them.

"Momo shouldn’t have scared people. Polly will keep a good eye on Momo from now on!" Polly sobbed, looking up at Flora Bloom with her big, innocent eyes, which were brimming with Spiritual Energy.

Flora Bloom barely managed to contain herself and almost broke character. Thankfully, Lex Cross squeezed her palm, stopping her.

"Wrong! Your Nightmare Beast should not have frightened your mother! Understand?"

Polly looked at Flora Bloom, then back at the father who terrified her, and obediently replied, "Yes. Polly will never do it again!"

"If you can’t control your Nightmare Beast again, then there will be no reason for it to stay by your side. Do you understand?"

"The Nightmare Beast is confiscated for one month. You will reflect on what you did!"

And so, the young Polly Cross began to understand that throughout the entire base, she could be mischievous and do anything she wanted, as long as it didn’t cross a certain line.

But she could never, ever involve her mother in the slightest.

Otherwise, the regret would be severe.
