The Nightmare Demon kept shapeshifting, now gaining werewolf and werebear-like features and an augmentation of her physical strength. Her blows easily pierced through my barrier of shadows, shattering it.

Each of her attacks released a powerful shockwave of pure concentrated Nightmare Energy, enough to split the entire manor apart. The shockwaves, if let free, would tear to shreds Sofia, Alma, and Emily with ease.

Jonathan conjured large shields made of light, it seemed his powers had evolved in new ways in this world, through the power of a Dream Heart.
