The sudden sight of Needy's face startled Roy for a moment.
Pennywise seized this opportunity and scrambled towards the black pool.
By the time Roy regained his senses, the creature had already reached the edge of the black pool.
"Damn it!"
Roy quickly grabbed the Cursed Hair.
But Pennywise had already plunged into the black pool. Its strength and weight suddenly surged, catching Roy off guard, and he was pulled into the pool himself.
"Roy!"
Jennifer stood at the edge of the black pool, calling Roy's name, but the black water remained as still and reflective as a mirror, revealing nothing of what was happening beneath.
It was as if Roy and Pennywise had vanished into the black water.
"What do I do? What do I do? I can't lose Needy and Roy, I can't lose them!"
Jennifer clutched the friendship necklace around her neck, tears streaming down her face without her even realizing it.
Just then, the voice that often echoed in her dreams spoke in Jennifer's ear once more.
"Give me control of your body, and I can help you!"
"Okay! But you have to save Roy and Needy!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Jennifer relinquished control of her body. Her body twitched, her eyes rolled back, revealing the whites, and a sinister smile spread across her face.
"Ah, what truly touching and sincere emotions! Is every generation's 'Lilith' this emotionally charged?"
"Jennifer" wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and then licked her lips.
Looking down at the black pool, which was as dark and reflective as a mirror, "Jennifer" frowned slightly.
"So, it's Pennywise, what a troublesome little thing! But finding that boy shouldn't be too difficult, after all, he is Jennifer's first man."
"Jennifer" lifted her shirt, revealing her lower abdomen. A peculiar pattern emitting a pink glow appeared on her skin.
Placing her hand on the pink pattern, "Jennifer" closed her eyes and began to sense.
"Found him!"
What, then, was happening to Roy at the bottom of the pool?
The moment Roy entered the black pool, he realized it was saturated with fear. It dawned on him that this black pool was where Pennywise stored its запас of food.
Roy, who could also absorb fear, was instantly overwhelmed by the massive influx of fear energy.
Although Roy's Demon Child form could convert fear into his own power, everything had its limits.
Just like oxygen, which is essential for humans, too much oxygen can lead to oxygen toxicity, even causing shock.
Roy was now in a similar situation to oxygen toxicity. Entering such a fear-saturated environment for the first time had caused him to temporarily lose consciousness.
If no one woke Roy up, he might be defeated by Pennywise, who would likely recover soon.
Just at that moment, a certain consciousness entered Roy's brain and gave him a sharp mental slap.
He could also hear an alluring voice in his ear.
"Wake up, little one!"
Roy instantly regained consciousness, opening his eyes just in time to see Pennywise swimming towards him with its mouth wide open.
"You bastard!"
At that moment, Roy was furious. He quickly wrapped the Cursed Hair around Pennywise's neck and then pulled the creature, starting to swim towards the surface.
Naturally, Pennywise didn't want to be dragged out of the black pool again, so it swam deeper.
The two were locked in a struggle.
Just then, the voice from before echoed in Roy's ear again.
"Suck up all the fear in the water!"
This sentence reminded Roy.
That's right, Pennywise's power came from fear. If he absorbed all the fear, the creature would naturally lose its strength!
Roy relaxed his body and began to frantically absorb the fear energy in the water.
Pennywise noticed Roy's actions, but it couldn't stop him. It could only absorb the fear along with him.
But at this moment, Pennywise suddenly felt like its head had been hit hard, making it dizzy and unable to concentrate on absorbing fear.
After a while, the originally pitch-black pool gradually became clear, seeming to turn into ordinary water.
Then, Roy, in his Demon Child form, crawled out of the pool, dragging a pale clown with red hair behind him.
The fear energy in the black pool had been completely drained by Roy, and Pennywise, having lost its fear source, was as weak as a fish out of water.
Roy angrily picked up Pennywise, intending to end it once and for all, but he found the creature suddenly opening its mouth and starting to vomit.
Large amounts of black mucus poured out of Pennywise's mouth, and then it vomited up a person.
"Needy!"
Roy quickly rushed forward to check on the girl Pennywise had regurgitated. He found that Needy's breathing was steady, and her heartbeat and pulse were normal, as if she were asleep.
"She's fine. I advise you to quickly finish off Pennywise and not give it a chance to recover."
The familiar voice spoke again, but this time it didn't come from Roy's ear. Instead, it came directly from "Jennifer's" mouth.
"Jennifer? Why does your voice sound so... different?"
This made "Jennifer's" face darken.
"Mind your own business!"
Huh? Jennifer had never spoken so rudely before!
Roy looked at "Jennifer" with suspicion, feeling that her demeanor and posture were somewhat strange.
However, the most important thing right now was to deal with Pennywise. So, Roy retrieved the chainsaw sword from his inventory. Under the influence of his Demon Child form, the chainsaw sword burst into flames of hellfire.
This terrifying fire could incinerate most substances. Roy used the hellfire-engulfed chainsaw sword to cut Pennywise apart.
Soon, Roy received a system notification.
[Ding! Obtained Pennywise's Destiny Treasure Chest! Open it?]
This meant that Pennywise had been completely eliminated by Roy.
"Jennifer, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so strange?"
After dealing with Pennywise, Roy immediately began to question "Jennifer."
"Honestly! Is this how you treat your savior?"
"Jennifer's" words made Roy pause.
"Are you saying you were the one who woke me up in the pool and spoke to me?"
"Yes, and I'm also the one who prevented Pennywise from absorbing fear."
At this point, Roy realized that someone else was controlling Jennifer's body.
"Madam, I am very grateful to you for saving me, but I hope you can return the body to Jennifer!"
Hearing this, "Jennifer" licked her lips.
"I finally managed to get out of that dark and dreary place. Can't you let me have a few days of fun? You men are so stingy!"
Roy frowned, about to retort, when Needy on the ground slowly woke up.
"Roy, Jennifer, I feel like I had a very, very long dream!"
Back in the office at Oakwood High, Elizabeth suddenly sensed something and sighed.
"Sigh, I told him to be careful recently because things are a bit tense, but he still made such a big commotion. Maybe I should go out of town for a while to lay low. But what excuse should I use for leave? I've got it! I'll say that brat got me pregnant, and I need to go to another state for an abortion!"
Abortion rights have always been a controversial issue in American law, with different states having different laws regarding abortion. In conservative states like Texas, any form of abortion is illegal.
However, in blue states like California, women have the right to choose to have an abortion.
After thinking it through, Elizabeth immediately made her stomach slightly protrude and headed straight for the principal's office.
Meanwhile, Roy, completely unaware that he had been framed by an unscrupulous teacher, had already taken Needy back to the hospital.
Although Pennywise, the main culprit, had been successfully dealt with, Needy was still very weak and needed to rest and recover in the hospital for a while.
Arthur and Rebecca were extremely grateful to Roy for bringing their daughter back, but Roy wasn't feeling particularly happy.
Needy had been successfully rescued, but Jennifer was now in trouble.
"Let's go, take me home."
"Jennifer" got into Roy's secondhand yellow Chevrolet Camaro as if she knew the way. She had somehow acquired a lollipop and was sucking on it in a way that resembled maintaining a gear shift.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Jennifer" looked at Roy with a slightly provocative gaze.
"Does it really matter? Isn't my body still Jennifer's body? Isn't she beautiful?"
The latest and fastest novel updates are on [belamy20]!
"Jennifer" struck a very alluring pose, fully displaying her physical assets, including her incredibly slender waist and those unbelievably long legs.
[Discovered special character Lilith. You can absorb Fate Power to obtain rewards!]
Lilith? Was this *that* Lilith from legend?
This name had quite a history. Roy knew several stories related to this name.
Something about the first witch, the queen of demons, the progenitor of vampires...
He just didn't know which version of Lilith this was.
Roy looked seriously at this "Jennifer" and pushed the long leg that had been draped over him aside.
"I care more about Jennifer's soul!"
"Jennifer" pouted.
"Could you maybe control your lower half before you say things like that next time?"
Well, Roy's body was being quite honest. Faced with "Jennifer's" seduction, it had already quietly stood at attention.
"Ahem! Never mind that! It represents my loyalty to Jennifer's body! Loyalty!"
"Is that so?"
"Jennifer" leaned closer to Roy and sniffed, making a face of distaste.
"But I can smell the scent of infidelity on you, and it happened just before dawn! Hehe, you've been very busy indeed!"
Roy's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected this "Jennifer" to have such a keen sense of smell. However, he had a very good reason for what had happened.
"I had to sell my body to save Needy!"
Looking at Roy with suspicion and a face of righteous indignation, "Jennifer" rolled her eyes.
"Alright, I'll let you off the hook this time."
Wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to be interrogating her? How did it turn into her questioning him?
Roy realized he was being led by "Jennifer" and quickly got back on track.
"You still haven't told me who you really are!"
"I am Jennifer's other side. You can think of me as Jennifer, or you can call me by another name, Lilith."
Roy, his mind filled with thoughts, took "Jennifer," or rather, Lilith, home.
He had originally planned to go to Elizabeth's place again to ask about Lilith, but the thought of his kidneys possibly not being able to handle it made him decide to go back and rest for the night and ask the next day during class.
He should probably open the treasure chests first.
Unfortunately, there was no little cat around to rub his hands on. He wondered if he would get anything good.
"System, open Berial's Conquest Treasure Chest!"
[Opening Berial's Conquest Treasure Chest...]
[Gained 1 point in Strength!]
[Gained 1 point in Agility!]
[Gained 1 point in Constitution!]
[Gained 1 point in Memory!]
[Gained 1 point in Spirit!]
[Gained 1 point in Willpower!]
Nice!
Although he didn't get any special items, gaining +1 to all attributes was excellent.
Roy liked this kind of straightforward stat increase. Only with sufficient stats could he压住 a certain demon lord.
"System, now open Pennywise's Destiny Treasure Chest!"
[Opening Pennywise's Destiny Treasure Chest...]
[Gained 3 points in Constitution!]
[Gained 2 points in Agility!]
[Obtained special ability: Shadow of Fear!]
Jackpot!
Roy quickly checked the description of Shadow of Fear.
[Shadow of Fear: You are now the nightmare of all sentient beings, the shadow of fear!
Passive effect: Greatly increases the range and effectiveness of fear collection.
Active effect: Can consume stored fear energy to use special abilities.]
This new ability actually synergized with his Demon Child form!
The Demon Child's fear collection range was only about a few dozen to a hundred meters, basically within his line of sight, so the amount of fear collected was relatively small.
But after obtaining the Shadow of Fear ability, Roy's fear collection range suddenly expanded to the size of Waterfall Town.
Even now, as Roy sat at home doing nothing, his fear pool was increasing from time to time.
Moreover, with Shadow of Fear, Roy had another fear pool, essentially giving him two mana bars, which greatly increased his options.
However, the description of Shadow of Fear's active effect was somewhat vague, and Roy was very curious to know what kind of effect it was.
At this moment, a daring little Jerry ran past Roy.
Well, this was a very common occurrence in the American countryside. You should be thankful if it wasn't an alligator or a brown bear entering your house.
Roy grabbed the little Jerry on the ground, preparing to use it to test the active ability of Shadow of Fear.
Anyway, he had absorbed a large amount of fear in the black pool, enough for him to transform into a Demon Child for several hours. Using a little bit wouldn't hurt.
"Look into my eyes!"
Little Jerry was already very nervous from being caught. When it saw Roy's golden pupils, it immediately let out a sharp squeak and struggled violently.
A few seconds later, Little Jerry went still.
"Scared to death?"
Roy hadn't expected the active effect of Shadow of Fear to be so powerful that it could directly scare Little Jerry to death.
However, Jerry was a creature that was naturally timid and prone to stress-induced death.
He really needed to test this on a human!
