Chapter 778
778 the price of fate
The black shadow slithered around the bedroom. Soon, the black shadow invaded and climbed up the foot of Link’s bed.
The black shadow was like a vine, slowly covering Link’s feet, knees, and half of his body.
When it reached half of its body, the black shadow stopped moving forward and came to an abrupt stop.
The black shadow morphed into a pair of slender hands. Like a water snake, she slithered from Link’s waist to his chest. Finally, her fingers pecked Link’s face.
Then, the black shadow disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.
However, Link’s eyes were still closed, and one could see his eyeballs moving slightly.
When everything returned to normal, the octopus doll on Link’s bed began to glow with a purple void light. Then, many black shadows extended from the octopus doll’s tentacles and wrapped around link.
Link was in a deep sleep when he suddenly felt himself being pulled out of a dream.
In the dream, his surroundings turned into a dark forest. Link’s muddled consciousness suddenly woke up and he carefully observed his surroundings.
This dark forest was filled with strange trees. There were few leaves on the treetops, but only a small portion of the light from above shone into the forest. This meant that link could only see things within a ten-foot radius. There were also crows cawing in the forest. Each CAW was at the same frequency as Link’s heart, which sounded strange.
Link’s face showed no signs of panic.
His energy attribute was already very strong, but someone could sneak into his brain and drag his consciousness into the dream world. This kind of strength could not be underestimated. The most important thing was that the mechanical fortress was guarded by Troy. To be able to let such a character slip in, it seemed that the other party was not weak.
Julian was a legend of Victoria. Link had killed her. Now that he had met an enemy who was known for being strange, he was naturally interested.
Link’s strategy was to stay the same.
Since the other party had taken the initiative to find him, there must be a purpose. He only needed to sit and wait, and the other party’s intentions would be revealed without saying anything.
Link activated the heaven’s son’s insight and observed the energy movement in the dream. However, when he changed his view, he realized that the energy in the dream was extremely uniform. It was even to the point that it was out of shape. Logically speaking, the density of energy in the constructed dream world would be different according to the mass and form of the object.
However, everything in front of him was completely balanced and did not conform to the common sense of the dream world.
In other words, link could shatter the dream scene in front of him with one punch.
“come out. you can’t do anything to me in this world.” Link’s tone was calm, as if he was simply stating a fact.
The darkness and shadows in the forest condensed and quickly formed a human figure. Then, the fireflies and scattered lights in the forest gathered together to form the details of the human figure.
“Are you sure I can’t do anything to you?” A woman’s voice that echoed in the void came from the shadow that was dotted with Starlight. It was unspeakably deep and long.
“The goddess of the night?” Link asked. After all, he had only seen such a beautiful voice and appearance in soul singer and the goddess of magic ever since he reincarnated in the game.
The black shadow suddenly stopped, and even the Starlight on its body dimmed. The light seemed to change according to its mood.
The black shadow was dotted with Starlight, as if the space in front of them had been cut and cut. The gap formed reflected the universe outside the world, mysterious and resplendent.
Although the black figure didn’t open her mouth to answer, her actions had already given her the answer. In the next second, the black shadow seemed to be flustered and exasperated. The sound of the surrounding forest disappeared, and the entire dream was swallowed up by the black shadow bit by bit. Everything returned to darkness, just like the goddess of the night.
In the darkness, only the body of the goddess of the night was covered in Starlight. The rest of the body was as dark as ink. Link couldn’t even see his own palm. He could only sense his own existence with his Six Senses and couldn’t sense anything outside.
In other words, Link’s senses were sealed within his body.
If it were anyone else, they would have panicked by now.
But link was unmoved. He didn’t even attack.
Not only did the darkness of the goddess of the night cover the entire dream space, but it also attempted to invade Link’s ” body.
However, Link’s body in the dream was quickly assimilated by the goddess of the night, and he was completely devoured.
In the next second, link, who had disappeared, reappeared. This time, he was outside the laws of darkness created by the goddess of the night. Shrugging his shoulders, he said calmly,”i told you, you can’t do anything to me in my dream.”
In the wasteland, link had created the dream parasite demon as a pet to guard against nightmares. It was specially made to prevent enemies of the occult from attacking through dreams.
With the dream realm demon’s protection and the effects of the corrupted dream, link had the dream realm demon create three different dreams for him. When the enemy attacked, if they could not break through his three dream realms, they would not be able to hurt him. normally, after successfully invading, the enemy would still have to fight against link’s dream. they wouldn’t have time to think about the dream space.
Even someone as powerful as the goddess of the night had underestimated link and fallen into his trap.
If this was the real world, the goddess of the night would be able to see through this thought with her mind-reading ability. However, this was a dream. Link’s thoughts were completely controlled by his own consciousness. The other party could only see what link wanted them to see. Naturally, they couldn’t see what link was really thinking.
Though he couldn’t see the night goddess’s expression, link could guess that she was frowning under the starlight.
The goddess of night didn’t say anything. She just raised her hand, and the falling star in her hand smashed down like a meteor.
In an instant, Link’s body was incinerated by the Starlight.
But the next second, link reappeared in the dream, completely unaffected.
“Can’t we just sit down and have a good chat?” Link said helplessly. In his previous life, these three goddesses were only responsible for adding buffs and buffs to the players. They did not communicate or interact much with each other, so he knew nothing about their personalities and tempers.
In this life, link realized that the goddess of the night had the worst temper out of the three novice planets.
Although the soul singer was deliberately mysterious, she was not stingy with her rewards and was very generous.
the goddess of magic’s opening was grand, and the mana turbulence was difficult, but she told link everything she knew. she basically answered all of link’s questions and answered many of his doubts. she also learned about the observer race.
However, the goddess of the night in front of him not only sneaked into his dreams at night to launch a sneak attack, but she also fought him face to face. Her temper could be said to be fiery.
The star body’s deep and loud voice rang out again. However, this voice changed Link’s attitude.
“Although you’ve already passed my sister’s test, if you want to get my acknowledgment, you’ll have to pass the trial first. Let me see if you have the qualifications.”
Link’s nose twitched. He then raised his hands and rolled up his sleeves.
“I’ve never hit a woman, but since you’ve said so, don’t blame me for bullying you.”
“Hehe, I really hope you have the ability.”
Not far away, the star body began to move again. although I don’t know what method you used, a dream is still a dream. I’ll see how many times you can resist it.
As soon as she finished speaking, the goddess of the night spread her arms. In an instant, link felt the entire dream space being locked.
Kachaa!
of course, this voice did not appear in reality. it was just link’s imagination. everything happened in silence.
The dream space shattered like glass, along with the night goddess and link. The entire dream space fell apart.
after all the black and space were shattered, a white and flawless background was revealed.
The goddess of the night disappeared from the fragment and appeared in a new space with a white background. The body of the void Star began to infect this new dream space again.
“You’re relying on the multi-dream space? It seems I’ve discovered your secret.” The goddess of night’s words had a hint of a smile, and soon the new dream space was once again reduced to darkness.
Link reappeared. He didn’t expect the goddess of the night to discover the multiple safety measures he had constructed so quickly. But since he had to fight to pass the test, link decided not to hold back. He would use the goddess of the night in front of him as a touchstone to improve his results!
Although the goddess of night was more powerful, link, as the master of the dream, naturally had more authority.
As night fell, the entire dream was dyed black. Link was as fast as an arrow, rushing towards the enemy.
There were no fancy moves, only extremely fast movements.
In the dream world, Link’s power was enhanced in all aspects. With his wild imagination and the dream demon’s Secret weapon, he was able to become even more powerful.
You! Just! Sue! Sue! i! what! Muah! He lost!
Just as Link’s finger was about to touch the goddess of the night’s body, she did not Dodge. A prism appeared in front of her and folded at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was originally only one link in the mirror, but as more and more layers were folded, more and more link appeared in the prism.
Though link was getting closer and closer, in the mirror, he was getting further away.
The illusion in the mirror image also affected the dream. Although he was using force, he was getting further away.
In the next second, the prism shattered and was replaced by countless Link’s that leaped out from the prism, charging towards the night goddess from all directions.
the goddess of night’s devour of the night collided with link’s wild imagination. the two fought in the dream space, and every moment was exciting and dazzling.
Although the skills in the dream also required energy, link had the dream parasite demon as a Foundation. He took advantage of the battle with the night goddess to silently steal her energy, not giving her a chance to react.
The goddess of the night was indeed an observer of Victoria. Her abilities were more mysterious and strange. Even in a place like the dream world, where energy and thoughts were more important than anything else, she could still surprise link.
The two were equally matched in their battle. After link had finished speaking, he didn’t give the goddess of the night any more chances to shatter the dream.
As the goddess of the night’s energy gradually decreased, the brightness of the dark and illusory background and the stars also decreased.
After a round of fighting, neither of them could avoid each other’s skills and chose to take it head on. Then, they were knocked back by the shock wave.
Link’s body flickered like a television that had malfunctioned. On the other hand, the goddess of the night’s face gradually became clearer in the dark, and the outline of her body and face could be seen.
how is it? after fighting for so long, you haven’t even broken through the second dream. Now you know that I’m not lying, right? ”
The goddess of night’s body trembled slightly, and at this moment, one could vaguely see the rapid change in her expression.
“You’re absorbing my energy?” in the blink of an eye, the goddess of the night finally sensed the condition of her body. her energy was constantly being lost!
“You came to my dream without permission at night,” said link,”and you won’t allow me to collect some rent?” How can you be so overbearing?”
“Have you always been so eloquent? how did my sisters determine that you were the chosen one?” The goddess of night was also more ” lively ” than the previous two sisters.
The goddess of magic had said before that all of this was the choice of fate, but for the goddess of the night, she had become the ” chosen one.
Link continued,”the chosen one?” Has my fate already set a price in the dark?”
hehe. the goddess of night sneered. you’ll naturally know when you’re strong enough.
As soon as she finished speaking, the goddess of night used it again. This time, the entire dream space turned white. The goddess of night opened her arms, and the Starlight in her body expanded as if it wanted to devour everything.
Countless black tendrils suddenly appeared behind link, just like what the goddess of the night had done earlier. The black tendrils flew towards the goddess of the night. The two had changed their style in their last battle, and it was also the most powerful move in the dream.
The confrontation between black and white was like two kinds of fuel being poured together.
the two opposing forces intertwined and embraced each other, but they were also clearly separated.
Both sides used their strongest mental energy. Ink-like colors collided, and the boundary of the dream was a shattered space-time that exploded over and over again.
The amount of spiritual energy they had released from their battle had already exceeded the limit of the three-level virtual dream that link had constructed.
After an unknown amount of time, the darkness that represented link finally gained the upper hand. It slowly eroded the other’s energy. It was like a rolling snowball, gradually accumulating and expanding its advantage.
“I acknowledge your strength.” The goddess of night held on for a long time, but she felt more and more that her power was being lost, or rather, being absorbed by the other party. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Logically speaking, entering the other party’s dream was a simple battle of mental power. Link’s spiritual energy was very strong, and he had a strange technique that could absorb the opponent’s spiritual energy. If they continued fighting, they would definitely lose.
moreover, the goddess of the night had only come to test link. she had no intention of fighting him.
“If you say we fight, we fight. If you say we stop, we stop.”
“I don’t want what you think. I want what I think.”
“Dream-hosting demon, absorb, continue to absorb!”
