I am a Scarecrow and the Demon Lord of Terror! Chapter 274

Chapter 274: 274
This was a golden paddy field.
The paddy field was filled to the brim, and the scorching sun shone on the golden wheat ears.
A breeze blew.
The wheat waves swept out.
Originally, this was a very warm scene.
But in the middle of the paddy field, the appearance of a scarecrow made this scene no longer look as harmonious as it seemed.
The scarecrow’s face was distorted.
His eyes were empty.
But at this moment, when he saw that the fear points in his account were rising rapidly, his empty eyes were filled with excitement, and the corners of his mouth had already spread to his ears.
[Fear Points +19,000]

[Fear Points +17,000]
[Fear Points +23,000]
[ … ]
Countless fear points entered the account.
As time passed, the excitement in Flanders’s eyes grew.
As expected!
This Black Swamp was really a good place to earn fear points!
Ever since he had activated his domain, his Domain had expanded to its maximum.
[Domain of Fear Level 7!]
Using this powerful skill, he had pulled all the mages and strange creatures in his Domain into the illusion mirror. There were almost tens of thousands of them!
And the illusion mirror that Brad and the others had entered…
Was something that he had deliberately created.
This illusion mirror had eighteen different scenes.
Every time the scenes changed, the monsters in it would become stronger.
A few hours had already passed.
There were not many mages who could survive until now. Even for strange creatures that were difficult to die, some of them were already trembling and could not help but kneel down and beg for mercy.
However, Flanders was not in a hurry.
Because the fear points he had now barely met his requirements.
He wanted to level up his Domain of Fear again!
And now, he was using eighteen different scenarios to continuously squeeze the hearts of these strange creatures and mages. At this point, it was almost enough.

He immediately leveled up.
[Domain of Fear Level 7 — Domain of Fear Level 8]
Flanders took a look, and then his face lit up with joy.
[Domain of Fear Level 8]
[Deterrence of Fear]
It gave both spiritual and physical pressure to the creatures in the Domain. Moreover, the pressure was stacked at multiple times the speed. The stronger the creature was, the stronger the initial pressure would be!
[Aura of Fear]
It greatly reduced the various attributes of the creatures in the Domain, and at the same time, it gave twice the amount to the Domain master.
Those below B- rank, including those with B- rank strength, would be directly weakened to become ordinary people under the effect of the fear aura. Those with B+ and B rank strength would be weakened by a small degree under the effect of the Aura of Fear.
At the same time, if their strength remained above B rank after being reduced, it would definitely restrict the target’s spells or skills in a certain aspect.
B- rank!
After this upgrade, even B- rank mages could become ordinary people!
This upgrade seemed to only change a letter.
But in reality, its use was quite important!
The stronger the person, the more afraid they would be when they found out that their strength had become weaker.
And besides that…
Flanders had already tested it. Although their strength had been weakened in the Domain, in reality, their original strength was still that of a mage of the same level.
Therefore, the fear value they provided was still based on their previous strength.
This would directly weaken their strength and allow them to provide fear value to themselves as quickly as possible!
Flanders was very satisfied.
Then, he turned his gaze to the other two skills.
[Illusion of Fear]
It allowed the creatures within the Domain to experience at least an indescribable terrifying scene every minute.

At level 7, it only caused the creatures within the Domain to see an indescribable terrifying scene every minute.
And now, at level 8, It caused the creatures within the Domain to experience this scene!
Seeing and experiencing it were two completely different concepts. It was also a world of difference.
Hence, after seeing this change, Flanders was quite surprised.
[Lord of Fear]
As a Domain master, he could control the Domain at will!
The effects of this Domain after leveling up made Flanders quite satisfied.
And as it leveled up.
The effect of this terrifying Domain was also displayed.
All the mages and strange creatures who were in the Domain sensed that something was wrong at the first moment. Then, their expressions changed drastically.
At this moment, the people who had experienced several scenes consecutively were already exhausted.
Now, they suddenly felt mentally exhausted.
They did not have the energy to fight anymore.
Some of the mages and strange creatures whose strength was originally at B- rank, but later dropped to C+ rank all had a drastic change in expression. They realized that their strength had actually disappeared!
They had directly become an ordinary person!!
This…
These mages and strange creatures, all had pale faces.
Those who were stronger, although they did not notice any other changes, their expressions changed when they saw the reactions of the people around them.
Although they did not know the exact reason.
But it was obvious.
This Domain had changed.
It was hard to imagine that the Domain master had intentionally gone easy on them.
After all, there were so many terrifying scenes. It was obvious that he wanted to kill them. It was impossible for him to go easy on them.
Therefore, this Domain had suddenly changed.
The biggest possibility was that the owner of this Domain suddenly became stronger, and this Domain also became stronger along with the owner’s strength, and then there was this unpredictable change.
But obviously, no matter what, this was quite disadvantageous to them.
Just the fact that there was no change previously already made it very difficult for them to deal with. In this situation, they did not know what to do.
Everyone’s faces were pale, and cold sweat was pouring down.
Even Brad, who was quite powerful, was also very solemn.
He was very likely the strongest person in this Domain.
Therefore, his perception was also quite powerful.
When the Domain had just changed, he had already noticed it. However, he had not noticed that the change in this Domain had any effect on him yet.
Even so, this made him rather angry.
As an A rank expert, he had yet to find a way to break through this Domain!
And now, all of his team members had already lost their lives in this Domain. As their captain, he had not been able to save his team members.
“Damn it!!”
“This damn Domain!!”
Brad cursed angrily.
Beside him, the flustered Ralph also had an ugly expression on his face.
Obviously, he was worried about the changes within the Domain.
However, on the other side.
Flanders had finished experimenting with this Domain.
At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed.
After activating the Domain, although he had instantly obtained a large number of fear points, which allowed the recently upgraded Domain of Fear to level up once again.
But he felt that this was not enough!
He only wanted one thing–
To advance to an A-rank!

So, this was obviously still a little lacking!
Flanders lowered his head and pondered.
Time passed.
After more than ten seconds, a hint of madness gradually appeared in his empty eyes!
An idea appeared in his mind.

8 82STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!
