Book 4: Chapter 191: Changes

Going a little back in time...

White fog shrouded the area where the Dragon God Lake once used to be. Several figures slowly emerged from a golden door. Although they just survived an ordeal, there was not any trace of joy visible on their faces.

A certain stunningly beautiful face had an extremely lonely look on it. Her silver hair fluttered as she lost count of how many times she had looked at the door behind her.

And every time she did that, the person she hoped to see never appeared.

Lesiah let out a long sigh as light dimmed in her eyes.

Walking next to her, Rosdell could hardly bear to continue watching her. His heart ached for the princess, but he pulled himself together to cheer her up.

“Please relax, your royal highness. That person will be fine. She’s a dragon princess after all.”

“I hope so.”

Lesiah clasped her hand over her chest. The blood that belonged to that person was still boiling in her beating heart. That was the only assurance Lesiah had. Even if Lilith’s opponent was a legendary deity. Even if the chance for Lilith to return was extremely slim. As long as the dragon blood was still active, Lesiah knew Lilith was still safe and sound...

At the thought of that, Lesiah felt regret. When her consciousness was about to fade at the Titan’s graveyard, she used the last bit of her focus and heard that...

“All this is just the dream of a deity.”

That was what Titan 12138 had said.

How unbelieveable. To think that everything they had experienced was merely the dream of some deity.

After waking up, Lesiah was immediately able to connect all the dots and figured out that everything Titan 12138 said was real.

That was why she was extremely clear on Lilith’s next course of action, which was no different than sending herself to the arms of Death.

Ahhh, had she not known about all this, she would at least still have hope in her heart.

Lesiah turned her head back again. Under her gaze, everything in the golden door burned down into ashes that scattered in the wind.

The runes inscribed on the golden door also faded before disappearing.

Under Lesiah’s gaze, the gateway to a divine dream world that was possibly made by someone on purpose, then vanished too.

Lesiah fell into a deep thought. This incident might not be as simple as they thought. Or at least, the door to Cornelia’s dream was not left by Cornelia herself.

After all, no one would want anyone else to disturb their sweet dream, right?

“Do you really believe that’s going to happen?”

Lesiah rolled her eyes at Lucas. “Putting aside this strange atmosphere, we technically escaped back here.”

“Well, no one knows we escaped back,” Lucas muttered, seemingly defiant.

“Anyway, I’m convinced that they’re throwing us a party to celebrate our return. They must have hidden themselves to surprise us. Hehe... I wonder if there’ll be a lot of pretty girls at the party.”

A lecherous look appeared on Lucas’ face, as he started fantasizing what was waiting for him. Ignoring everyone, he made his way to the academy based on his memory.

Lesiah shook her head in resignation, but did not stop him.

It was extremely unlikely that it was a party to welcome them back, but they should be safe. This place was part of St. Caroline Academy after all.

However, something unexpected happened.

“OUCH!”

Lucas’ miserable shout was suddenly heard not far away.

“What happened?”

“No idea.”

Diana shook her head with a serious expression, indicating that the visibility here was too low for her to see what happened to Lucas.

“Damn it, did something really happen to St. Caroline Academy?” Lesiah muttered to herself. While she was trying to think of a way to deal with the situation, she suddenly felt her world spin.

She lost her balance and fell flat on her face, though she was a martial warrior at the peak of the ninth rank.

Despite the amount of battle qi in her body, she could not summon even an ounce of it. It was almost as if the fall had knocked all of it out of her.

“What the hell is happening?!”

Rosdell struggled furiously, but found himself no different than an overturned tortoise. He could not even flip himself over.

The others also found themselves in similar situations. It was as if they had no resistance to that strange power.

The white fog around them then began surging wildly

Everyone felt a sharp pain in their brain and immediately lost consciousness.
