The Void Bubble that Maria had created to send reinforcements into the city successfully passed the barrier, reaching the city's center, where the group of young dream warriors landed. They suddenly found themselves surrounded by hundreds of Nightmare Monsters.
These were not the Nightmares everyone knew, nor were they Nightmare Beasts. Nightmare Monsters were a new breed of creatures, born from corrupted objects twisted into monstrous forms, hence their name.
They roared ferociously, most shaped like cars with people still inside them. Others resembled walking buildings, streetlights, shops, or machines like computers, fused into aberrant, twisted golems.
"What the hell are these damn things?! And they're everywhere!" Emily complained, kicking a Truck Nightmare Monster and sending it flying with an explosion of lightning.
BOOOM!
The truck crashed into the nearby streets, its gas tank exploded and blowing several other Nightmare Monsters to smithereens.
