Lilith’s mind was crafting the subsequent script, her salivary glands furiously secreting mucus at the time.
Opposite the dark-skinned elf, Renji was also rapidly analyzing the current situation.
Firstly, he indeed had many questions for Lilith, whose proposal was tempting, but he wasn’t foolish, nor was he fearless and brave. Regarding this kind of provocation by the dark-skinned elf, Renji’s heart didn’t even flutter.
If it were in a game, even if it were a behind-the-scenes boss, anyone who dared to mock players like this would definitely face a fight from Renji, regardless of whether he could win or not. Winning would be a relief, and dying would just mean a restart. Perhaps this is what the dark-skinned elf perceived as Renji’s “fearlessness” and “bravery.”
But now, Renji knew all too well that the more passive he was, the less he could be led by the nose by others, following their ideas, or else he would only become more passive.
The dark-skinned elf’s eagerness to fight him was definitely not well-intentioned, likely harboring an even bigger plot.
This was evidenced by the cross that had always been hanging behind the elf, probably the best proof.
Renji had noticed this cross from the beginning and had been observing it in secret for a long time. Being cautious about things he couldn’t fully understand was vital, as the cross might be a powerful weapon that the dark-skinned elf brought specifically to target him.
Thinking this, Renji’s overall strategy was set: ‘this unprepared battle was not to be fought and was unnecessary.’
Indeed.
From the dark-skinned elf’s words just now, this “Miasma Space” was the last gate of ‘Dream’. To return to reality, he had to open this door, that is, to break this Miasma Space.
Previously, indeed, the only way to break the Miasma Space was to defeat the dark-skinned elf, the space’s master.
But now it was different.
Because, after absorbing the Cursed Skeletal Jade in the altar pool last time, he also became half a master of “Miasma Space.”
He had a “door key”!
Although it was a bit of a pity, Renji did not hesitate much and directly took out the “tentacle” that had been formed by the “Touch of Miasma” from the avatar of the dark-skinned elf’s consciousness, which he had previously put away due to its excessive evil and ugly appearance.
“With the appearance of this tentacle, it was as if an antenna had emerged, and Renji immediately felt his consciousness being accommodated by this miasma space, no longer as an ‘outsider.’ He could ‘open the door’ and leave whenever he wanted.
On the other side.
Sensing the anomaly in the miasma space, the presence of another entity sharing power with her forced Lilith out of her delusion, abruptly awakening her.
When she shifted her gaze to the source of the anomaly, to the tentacle in Renji’s hand that was identical to the one behind her, the expression on Lilith’s face was beyond shock.
What did this feel like?
It was as if the most private and innermost pair of panties she wore daily had inexplicably ended up in the hands of the enemy across from her!?
And now, seeing Renji about to use the tentacle to activate the miasma authority that rightfully belonged to her, to leave this space, turned into her brain filled with confusion, Lilith desperately trying to stop Renji.
“No! Wait a minute!!”
Seeing that Renji had no intention of stopping, and the miasma space already responding to the young man’s request, Renji’s figure began to fade gradually. In her urgency, Lilith knew that stopping him was futile and had to find another way.
She couldn’t keep Renji there, but she could make him come back.
“Ashen! Your ‘Dream’ might have been partly edited by the empty armor, but you must have realized that the main body of the Dream still has to follow the facts. The future you experienced in the Dream is what the Dream has calculated, the future you will soon encounter in reality!”
“If you don’t want the tragedy that happened in the Dream to recur, your only choice is to return to the Dream, because only here can you find the answer!”
“Ashen. you will definitely come back here, I will wait”
As the entire miasma space shattered in Renji’s view, the screams of the dark-skinned elf became more blurred and weaker until finally, his figure completely disappeared here, and the voice of the dark-skinned elf could no longer be heard.
After a slight feeling of dizziness, when Renji opened his eyes again
“Hmm.”
It was the familiar ceiling.
Around him was the city hall of the sealed city, and the next moment that filled his view was…
“Old timer! How was it, how was it!”
Seeing Renji open his eyes, waking up from the “Dream,” Eileen immediately leaned in with her face full of anticipation and curiosity.
However, Renji said nothing in response. Amidst Eileen’s exclamations, he pulled the girl towards him. Before Eileen could react to what was happening, a light emanated from Renji’s hand. The skill of Miasma’s Touch was activated against Eileen, and red mist began to swirl around the two.
Renji’s hand penetrated into Eileen’s chest, and a strange sense of connection linked the girl to him. It felt as if someone entered the depths of her heart, exposing her naked soul to Renji. Following this, Eileen felt something extremely precious to her rapidly transforming inside her body. The next moment, it was grasped by Renji’s hand, turned into a blurred light orb, and then began to be drawn out. This made Eileen involuntarily let out a soft moan.
However, what Eileen least expected was that when Renji had pulled “that thing” halfway out, no, not even halfway, as if confirming something, he suddenly pushed his hand, placing the blurred light orb back inside her! The light of Miasma’s Touch ended.
All that was left was Eileen, her face still flushed, filled with a mix of confusion and slight anger, and Renji beside her, who, after confirming his return to reality with Eileen, let out a long sigh of relief.
If it was a dream, Miasma’s Touch would have no effect on Eileen. The fact that he could just extract Eileen’s materialized item was the best proof. Of course, as long as it wasn’t completely extracted, it wouldn’t transform and would remain as a blurred light orb. In the end, Renji chose to put it back.
For such a deed akin to “stopping halfway,” Renji felt sorry for Eileen.
But there was no choice. He had to maintain the unknown status of Eileen’s Miasma’s Touch materialized item. By not knowing what Eileen’s “heart” really is, he would never be able to use Miasma’s Touch on Eileen in the Dream. Next time he enters the Dream, he wouldn’t fear anymore, as it would serve as a precise detector, preventing confusion between dreams and reality.
So… .𝒎
Is there a “next time”?
It must be said, the last words of the dark-skinned elf really made Renji waver.
If the Dream really is a rehearsal for the future, does that mean Suthia will still descend upon the Sealed City tonight in her true form? If coupled with the dark transformation of Suthia in the dream, a possibility began to emerge in Renji’s mind.
‘A very serious possibility’
