The deformed and terrifying monster hung high above the forest, hovering in the sky, with countless twisted and twisted tentacles supporting its glowing "shell", and the "sunlight" that could penetrate the entire forest came from this nightmare-like terrifying invader.
How long has it been hanging in this dream? Has it been there from the beginning? Why didn't anyone notice the inconsistency in the sunlight? What horrible purpose did it have in mind as it looked down at this forest that was made up of a mixture of several layers of dreams
Heidi raised her head, as if attracted by some powerful force, and couldn't help staring at the small sun supported by the terrifying limbs. She stared at the pale giant eyes guarded by tentacles.
In an instant, she felt as if her mind had established a connection with a larger and more distant existence. Through those pale giant eyes overlooking the sky, something entered her mind directly. She heard the roar and explosion deep in her spirit, and felt that there was an eternal thought watching this dream and the uninvited guests in the dream through the sun in the sky.
Thousands of voices whispered or roared in her mind, and she heard one of them, the voice drilled into her consciousness like a dream, hidden in the deepest part of their memory... Before our sunshine went out... "In the whisper that drilled into her mind, Heidi couldn't help but feel a sense of conversion.
However, in the next second, a burning sensation suddenly came from her chest. Heidi was suddenly awakened by the burning sensation, as if ten thousand thunders exploded in her ears. She felt that the connection between herself and those sounds was instantly torn apart. Her heart pounded like a drum, and her ears echoed with sharp noises.
Heidi's mind was fluctuating violently, and the feeling of relief for surviving the disaster took several seconds to rise from the bottom of her heart. As soon as she woke up, she immediately turned her gaze away from the sky with difficulty, and subconsciously grabbed the amethyst pendant on her chest.
The pendant was still emitting scorching heat, but it would not burn her. She turned her head in fear and looked at the "Witch Lady" standing next to her. Lucrecia stretched out her hand to her expressionlessly. At the fingertips of this "witch", three colored gems were floating in the air and slowly rotating. The light from the gem fingertips jumped, interweaving a dreamy and deadly gorgeous light.
Heidi felt a palpitation in an instant, "I'm awake, I'm awake..." She shouted quickly, fearing that the witch would really take action, "I'm not contaminated.
Lucrecia nodded, her eyes swept across the crystal pendant on Heidi's chest, and the three colored gems flew up and returned to the small decoration on the end of her hair. Then she thought for a moment and seemed to feel the need to explain, "I didn't mean to kill you!"
Uh…” Heidi didn’t expect the other party to say this, and her expression twitched. “I thought you were going to do it.”
"It would only be a severe shock. If you have only suffered a shallow mental contamination, this shock would arouse your subconscious fear of death, and then force the uncontaminated part of your mind to leave this dream. Afterwards, you would at most lose some memory."
Lucrecia explained that this was a technique for escaping from dreams invented by Master Taran El, the "Sudden Death Method"!"
Heidi stared: "Didn't you say before that this sudden death method is unreliable
"It's not reliable to put it on Taran El's body, not on myself," Lucrecia glanced at the great scholar who was still maintaining his mental sculpture state not far away.
"If he hadn't been dreaming, he would have almost died of sudden death!"
"Then I..."
You have a good physique!
Heidi was speechless for a moment. She was in awkward silence for several seconds before she raised her hand and pointed at the sky with lingering fear. During this process, she no longer dared to look up at the strange and terrifying thing, Lady Lucrecia, that thing...
"It seems that is the real intruder,"
Lucrecia said casually, her hand brushing through the air in front of her, and a virtual round mirror surrounded by beautiful patterns and in the style of a palace appeared out of thin air in front of her. With the reflection of this magic mirror, she carefully observed the scene in the sky. "This curtain in the dream is to prevent this thing from prying," she paused, with a thoughtful look on her face!
"It looks like the work of the Black Sun worshippers. The thing in the sky looks just like the descendants of the sun they follow..."
"Descendants of the Sun..." Heidi was shocked. As a Plander and an eyewitness to the Black Sun incident, she knew the horror behind this term better than anyone else. However, she felt even more confused afterwards.
But the invader I saw in my dream at the beginning was clearly a cultist of Annihilation...
"Destroy several disciples?" Lucrecia frowned. "Then... this situation is even worse!"
Heidi opened her mouth and was about to ask what the "sea witch" meant, but the next second, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from nearby, making her suddenly quiet down!
"Did you hear any sound?" Heidi asked quickly with a hint of nervousness.
"It looks like the protector of that freak in the sky has arrived," Lucrecia said calmly. "When we discover it, it will be terrified, and then it will try to destroy any intelligent creature that sees it."
This is what happened to the descendants of the Black Sun.
The strange rustling sound suddenly disappeared, but a huge sense of vigilance and crisis surged like a tide the moment the sound disappeared. The next second, Heidi saw a shadow out of the corner of her eye. Under a nearby tree, in a corner that seemed normal a second ago, there was an amorphous darkness wriggling and surging, and differentiated into sinister bodies like spears and sharp blades, rushing towards her and Lucrecia. Before Heidi could think about it, her body suddenly fell to the side, and at the same time, she raised the Zhongjin Push to pass through the air in front of her, leaving a residual image at the place where she fell.
The next second, the afterimage was ruthlessly penetrated by the attacker. The black shadow suddenly retreated, while the "figure" that was penetrated remained on the ground. The figure shook twice, and the blurred outline quickly became clear, turning into another "Heidi"!
At the same time, a sharp explosion suddenly came from the direction of Lucrecia, and a shadow crawling on the ground spread like an insidious poisonous snake to the feet of the "Sea Witch" and suddenly turned into thorns, spikes, blades and tentacles. These terrifying creatures that expanded and contracted attacked Lucrecia from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it swallowed up the figure behind it. However, as the shadows intersected, Lucrecia's body suddenly changed. She suddenly turned into an "image" as thin as a piece of paper, and then her body turned in the air and "floated" out of those intersecting deadly killing moves.
Then, her figure reappeared in the open space next to her, with a baton in her hand that looked like the one used by musicians conducting a band on stage. She raised the short stick and lightly tapped the condensed black tentacles in mid-air, giving gentle orders.
Minor key, the tentacle made a slight explosion sound, and then the explosions continued, just like a piece of music, and in the continuous explosions, the tentacles disintegrated into countless illusory and colorful notes flying around and dissipating in the space.
All the “shadows” connected to the black tentacle emitted continuous explosions and terrible curses, turning them into countless colorful notes that danced in the air. The scene was gorgeous like a dream and yet weird and frightening.
Lucrecia swung her baton gracefully, turned her head and looked at Heidi, who had already developed a third personality, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Your amulet is pretty good. Judging from your skills, you have also trained in the real world
"There must be some means of protecting ourselves. After all, in our line of work, we not only have to deal with mental patients, but also their mentally ill patients...
My father always taught me that girls should learn to protect themselves." Heidi took a breath and said with a hint of pride.
Then she looked at Lucrecia with a hint of amazement and awe in her eyes. Your power... is as strong as the rumors say.
"Because my father taught something similar!"
Lucrecia smiled slightly, then turned around and calmly watched the figures that were emerging from the air one after another. The destruction of a few tentacles and shadows did not mean that things were over. For the followers of the Black Sun, their hateful limbs could always withstand greater consumption. The true form of the attacker was revealed.
There were several tall figures wearing pitch-black windbreaker-like coats of unknown material. Underneath, there seemed to be countless creepy deformed flesh and blood hiding, wriggling and moving constantly, making sticky and disgusting noises. Their faces were hidden in the shadows brought by wide-brimmed hats, and no visible facial features could be seen. One could only feel the endless emptiness and the cold malice towards all living things.
They are inferior offspring of the sun. Heidi recognized the identities of these inhuman beings in an instant. She and her personality clones were on guard and couldn't help frowning. But I have never heard that these guys have the ability to enter dreams..."
Lucrecia noticed another thing, "They don't have umbrellas!" said the sea witch with a slight frown.
As an explorer who travels in border areas all year round and often deals with various dangerous and strange forces, she is no stranger to the various followers of the Black Sun and has had several direct confrontations with them.
These remnants of the descendants of the sun that appeared in the dream did not hold the iconic strange black umbrellas. They stood in the light, calmly bathing in the "sunshine" that penetrated the forest, just like the exiles' hometown outside their bodies.
