Lottie felt like she was dreaming.
A very beautiful dream.
However, dreams eventually end.
The moment the true memory awakened from the depths of her mind, she gradually found herself again.
At the same time, Charlotte, who awakened Lottie, also touched Lottie's memories, just like she had touched the residual souls of those innocent girls.
A huge amount of memories also flooded into Charlotte's mind. In a very short period of time, she witnessed the long memories of Priest Lottie over the past ten years...
Escape into darkness in order to investigate the truth behind the Fire Demon's disaster.
The pain and confusion of struggling in the darkness.
Time and again, he made efforts to find and save his sister.
But in the end, he found himself being manipulated by the Blood Demon High Priest from beginning to end. He was angry, confused and desperate...
Under Charlotte's surprised gaze, Lottie's body suddenly emitted a faint halo.
Her body shape changed rapidly, and soon she returned to her adult appearance ten years later.
At the same time, the surrounding trees withered rapidly and thick, pungent smoke gradually spread.
As the smoke spread, there was also the crackling sound of burning flames, people's screams, and faint roars...
Lottie looked at her hands blankly, and gradually regained consciousness.
As soon as she woke up, her expression was immediately filled with anger and anxiety, but this anger and anxiety quickly turned into confusion after she saw Charlotte and Sebastian beside her.
Lottie raised her head and looked at Charlotte beside her in a daze. Her confused eyes gradually regained focus:
"Charlotte? And... Mr. Sebastian?"
"I… What's going on? Where am I?"
After saying that, Lottie heard a faint roar coming from a distance.
She couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, only to see that the entire sky seemed to be burning, with red clouds rolling continuously...
This familiar and terrifying scene gradually overlapped with a scene in her memory. Lottie couldn't help but widen her eyes:
“This… This is…”
"This is a dream directed at you. It happened on the night of the Fire Demon Disaster ten years ago."
Charlotte said.
"Dream? My dream?"
Lottie's eyes widened.
Charlotte was about to continue explaining, but suddenly something moved her and she looked to the other side.
Then, another clear voice sounded slowly:
"Yes, your dream, but to be more precise, it is the dream of you and the Fire Demon Valarroka..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lottie couldn't help but look over, and saw glowing fireflies suddenly flying over, constantly gathering, and finally turning into human forms.
It was a little girl in a white dress.
It was Marie, the eldest daughter of Count Broglie.
Mary looked at Lottie with a smile and a happy expression:
"Lottie... We finally meet again."
"Sister?! Sister! Is that you!"
Lottie suddenly became excited.
She almost subconsciously rushed towards the other person, wanting to give her a hug, but she missed and passed through the girl's body...
"elder sister?"
Lottie was stunned.
"I'm sorry... Lottie, I'm no longer a human being. Being able to meet you in this way is already my limit..."
The little girl said a little disappointedly.
As she spoke, she looked at Charlotte beside her, picked up the hem of her skirt and bowed respectfully:
"Lord Charlotte, thank you for awakening Lottie, and thank you for suppressing the Fire Demon Valarroka... allowing me to enter its dream."
Suppress... huh
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
She and Sebastian exchanged a glance, and Sebastian suddenly understood.
"Its dream? Miss Mary, do you mean... that this dream no longer belongs to Miss Lottie?"
Sebastian asked.
"Yes, Lady Charlotte has awakened Lottie. Lottie has woken up, but the dream is still there because the Fire Demon Valarroka is maintaining this dream."
"Vala Roca's level is much higher than Lottie's. When Lottie lost control, the nature of this dream changed. The change in the surrounding scenery is a sign of this."
"The dream I'm in now... belongs to the Fire Demon Valarok. This is the dark dream it uses to lure Lottie to fall, use Lottie as a medium to open the door to the other dimension, and completely break free from the seal and revive!"
Mary said.
After that, she bowed to Charlotte again and pleaded earnestly:
"Lady Charlotte..."
"Please... destroy this dream and stop the Fire Demon Valarroka from completely reviving!"
"During the years it was sealed, the Fire Demon Valarroka fell into a deep sleep, but it never gave up on entering the world!"
"On the night of the Flame Demon ten years ago, although half of its power that allowed it to enter the human world was sealed, this also provided it with an anchor point."
"While it was sleeping, it used the seal of the other dimension to open up the channel between the other half of its power and the real world. Once the seal is completely broken, when it wakes up, it will no longer have half of its power, but its full power!"
"That kind of power... is definitely not something that the City of Bolder and the Principality of Bolder can withstand. Once it fully recovers, it will definitely continue the God-Descent Ceremony of the Blood Demon Grand Duke!"
After hearing the girl's words, Charlotte and Sebastian's expressions gradually became solemn.
Lottie was a little surprised, and a sense of uneasiness inexplicably surged in her heart:
"Sister, how do you know so much about the Fire Demon Valarroka?"
Mary did not answer Lottie's question, but looked at Charlotte earnestly.
Charlotte looked at her deeply:
"Miss Mary..."
"If my guess is correct, you should know where the Fire Demon Valarok is in this dream, right?"
Mary nodded:
"Yes, I know. Not only that... I also know that it has not yet fully awakened. Now is the best time to interrupt its revival and completely exile it to another dimension!"
"As long as we seal its consciousness in this dream and completely destroy its anchor point in the real world, it will lose the chance to set foot in the real world!"
After hearing what Mary said, Charlotte's eyes gradually became darker:
"Are you... ready to make up your mind?"
Mary was slightly startled, and then smiled:
"certainly… "
"The meaning of my existence is to wait for this day."
Listening to the confusing conversation between Mary and Charlotte, Lottie felt more and more uneasy.
Charlotte sighed and said:
"In that case, let's go."
Mary nodded and then raised her hand slightly.
As she moved, the withered woods moved to the sides as if they had life, and a dark passage appeared on the ground, leading directly to the underground.
Seeing Mary's easy interference with the dream, Lottie's eyes widened instantly, and an unbelievable guess kept churning in her mind:
"Sister, you..."
Mary still did not respond, but said to Charlotte:
"Lord Charlotte, the road has been cleared, let's go."
Charlotte did not hesitate. Following Sebastian, she stepped into the underground passage opened by Mary.
A group of people entered the dark passage and continued to walk down. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end...
At the end of the passage is a familiar ruined temple, which is exactly the same as the underground temple where the Blood Demon Cult holds the God's Descent ceremony in the real world.
In the center of the temple is a towering altar, surrounded by layers of flesh tumors. The flesh and blood are intertwined and gathered above the altar, connecting to a huge and ugly eye.
That is the devil's eye, the same devil's eye that is exactly the same as Mary's alienated body in the real world!
"Lady Charlotte, this is the anchor point of Valarroka's dormant consciousness."
Mary said respectfully.
Seeing the familiar devil's eye, Sebastian was slightly stunned, and then his expression suddenly became a little complicated:
"Ms. Mary, have you... already merged with the Fire Demon Valarroka?"
