This strength wasn’t high among eighth-tier monsters, as it couldn’t even defeat the Iguana Lord.
However, the dream control skill was nearly unbeatable if used to ambush someone.
Unless the opponent had a strong willpower and could realize they were in a dream.
Lin Tian, with lightning speed, grabbed a dagger and dashed forward.
Seeing this, the Dream Demon hurriedly activated the Etherealization skill, a unique advantage of a spiritual entity.
Inherently possessing the ability to ignore attacks.
Only magical skills could cause harm.
“Not good! Don’t look into his eyes!”
The Cannibal Eagle suddenly shouted, but it was too late.
The Dream Demon and Lin Tian locked eyes, immediately activating the Bewildering Eye, which could forcibly hypnotize a person.
Then, it used the dream control skill.
Its large eyes emitted a strong red light, all of which poured into Lin Tian’s eyes.
In an instant.
Lin Tian seemed to be in a daze, staggering and falling asleep on the ground.
Seeing this, the Cannibal Eagle’s large wings shook, swiftly attacking the Dream Demon.
“Hmph, he’s doomed, Cannibal Eagle Lord...”
The Dream Demon, full of disdain, then dove into Lin Tian’s dream.
At this moment.
Lin Tian, clutching his aching head, opened his eyes and got up, discovering that the surroundings had turned into a desolate, scorching volcano!
The distant scene was distorted by the high temperature.R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
He couldn’t help but start sweating.
The heat was unbearable.
“Damn, where am I? A volcano?”
Lin Tian looked around in confusion, seeing no one, only endless volcanic rock paths.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the volcanic crater not far away began to stir.
A surge of golden, scalding lava spurted out!
A large clump fell at Lin Tian’s feet, the ground sizzling and emitting a lot of white smoke.
The heat wave made Lin Tian feel like he was melting.
He thought it was an accident, but then the volcano erupted!
Thousands of degrees of lava flowed out like a flood!
Lin Tian kept running, but he couldn’t outrun it.
He was engulfed and swallowed by the scorching lava.
In the boiling lava, he saw his flesh instantly evaporate! The intense burning pain!
It felt like he was about to die.
In the sky.
The Dream Demon laughed triumphantly, “Die forever with your dream, still wanting to kill me? Just a mere...”
Before it could finish speaking, it saw a fire arrow shot towards it!
There was no time to dodge, and it was directly hit and fell!
The burning flames made it scream in pain, “How is this possible!”
“This trick is good for fooling others, it’s too early to think about fooling me!”
Lin Tian could be seen swimming and bathing in the lava.
Indeed, the earlier experience felt more real than reality!
If one’s will was not firm, they would really think they had died and never wake up again.
Seeing this, Alicenia in her dream gradually stopped crying.
But she still sobbed a few times.
She slowly raised her head, her soul seemingly touched by the golden light.
Having strived for the holy position for half her life, it was the first time she had seen God. How could she not be deeply shaken?
Seeing her reaction, Lin Tian thought it was very effective, so he further controlled the people in the dream.
A resident suddenly showed a fierce look, pointing at the Sword Saintess, “Look, it’s that witch! Desecrating the holy order, the Lord God has come to punish her!”
“Kill her!”
“She deserves to die!”
“Unforgivable!!!”
Everyone gritted their teeth, their hateful gazes like blades pressing against the Sword Saintess’s neck.
Forcing her to step back repeatedly.
Suddenly, she found herself at the edge of a cliff with no way back.
Finally, Alicenia cried out, “Lord God, save me! Please forgive me!”
Lin Tian waved his hand, and those residents pushing her back seemed to be paused, only the Sword Saintess could move.
Then he spoke in a gentle, holy voice, “Holy one, Alicenia, do you know what sins you have committed?”
“I... I killed the people I was supposed to protect...”
Alicenia said, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
But Lin Tian shook his head, “Killing imperial soldiers and causing the death of comrades are minor sins. Accept your role and birth the goblins, and I will forgive you.”
Upon hearing this, Alicenia was first delighted, then surprised, “Lord God, have I committed other sins?”
Looking at the residents, Lin Tian said, “You are protecting a bunch of demons, selfish and petty people, greedy, violent, indulging in lust and wealth, holding high power, enjoying resources that should not belong to them! They are the demons...
This sin can never be forgiven.”
“Wha... what?”
Alicenia was in a daze, unable to believe what she heard.
The people she protected were actually demons?
Thinking carefully, the hardships she had suffered seemed to be caused by them.
Without them, her longtime comrades wouldn’t have died.
She wouldn’t have been punished by God.
The evil she endured, all granted by him, weren’t they demons to her?
When she looked ahead again, those residents had indeed turned into red-skinned demons with hideous faces!
They moved again, clawing and biting, attacking her.
Looking again, Alicenia found herself in her platinum armor with her holy sword.
Seeing this, Alicenia didn’t hesitate and charged into the crowd, starting a massacre!
“You demons! Stop speaking!”
The cold edge of her blade exploded!
The ‘demons’ screamed and fled, but none could escape the sword’s judgment, blood flowing everywhere, forming a river.
Alicenia, covered in blood, stood on the pile of corpses, panting heavily.
But when she saw the bodies clearly, she was so frightened that she collapsed, dropping her sword, “How... how can this be! It wasn’t me!”
Those bodies turned back into residents.
Staring at Alicenia, they seemed to be accusing her of her crimes.
Just like the battle at Bright Town.
Lin Tian quickly comforted her, “Child, why are you afraid?”
“Lord God, I killed people... woo woo woo...” Alicenia cried.
Lin Tian walked to her, his tall and majestic figure, extending a hand, “I told you, they are no different from demons. You protected them countless times, yet they wanted to kill you. Who else but demons would do such a thing?”
Amidst a series of manipulative words.
Alicenia’s clouded eyes began to clear, filled with evil and darkness!
She stopped crying and extended her hand.
“I understand, Lord God...”
This reaching out was like stepping into true darkness and corruption.
Lin Tian’s eyes flashed with a sense of accomplishment, “From now on, you are to slaughter these demons.”
“Then, how can I regain my holy power?” Alicenia asked anxiously.
In her subconscious, she still wanted God’s forgiveness.
Lin Tian thought for a moment, “When these demons are completely eradicated, and you must also help the one beside you, he is my messenger sent to punish the demons... remember!”
After speaking, the dream shattered.
Only endless darkness remained.
Alicenia knelt in the abyss, seemingly never able to climb out.
