Chapter 192 - 192 Your Majesty Lan Yu
192 Your Majesty Lan Yu
Xu Yuan could see everything from where he was. He was trying to figure out a way to leave the body of the mythical beast. He was afraid that if he didn’t make it on time, Su Wan might really lose.
‘Since I can see the outside world and make changes to it, perhaps I can steer this body to move…’
Xu Yuan pondered on that possibility.
Lord Carla had been intending to control the mythical beast. Xu Yuan thought that maybe he could control this thing too since he had more knowledge about this matter than Carla.
Xu Yuan tried to connect to the brain at a deeper level to see if it would work. Previously, he had only just touched it and could make changes to the outside world. If he could make a deeper connection, it might just work.
“Your Majesty!” exclaimed the Thorn Fairy. “The world has changed!”
Her voice was a little flustered. The brain made up of numerous butterflies was still there. However, the surroundings became very scenic as though it was outdoors.
“Does this mean we are outside now?” asked the Thorn Fairy.
There were flowers, grass, and water on the ground. There were even mountains! However, for some reason, the Thorn Fairy couldn’t sense the essence of the plants and flowers.
As a nature hero, the Thorn Fairy was constantly in contact with nature. She could sense the essence of the plants and flowers and even mountains. But in this space, she felt… nothing.
Xu Yuan was also surprised at the sight. “Maybe not yet.”
He glanced at the brain in front of him and knew that they hadn’t left the place yet. However, the surrounding had changed somehow.
The Thorn Fairy looked around. She saw the Snow Mountain, which was the tallest landmark in the Overlord Plane. She realized that they were still in the competition arena.
“Something is not right…,” muttered Xu Yuan. He realized that Snow Mountain was shorter than it was before.
He had climbed the Snow Mountain when he had accompanied the Fallen Angel to ambush the Radiant Envoy. He knew how tall that mountain had been. The Snow Mountain in front of him seemed shorter.
“Is this an illusion?” said the Thorn Fairy. “Maybe the brain can’t completely imitate the world outside.”
Xu Yuan was in a dilemma. He had consumed the Dark Crystal before. And gained a skill enhancement point. He wondered which ability he could enhance that could help them get out of the current situation.
‘This is troublesome. Everything here feels… strange. I can’t enhance an ability without understanding things properly.’ Xu Yuan thought it wise to wait a bit to figure out exactly what was happening.
Xu Yuan didn’t want to waste a skill enhancement point by upgrading an ability that might not be useful.
“True Eye of The Demon Dragon.”
Xu Yuan activated his ability. The True Eye of The Demon Dragon could see through any illusion. The eye on Xu Yuan’s chest slowly opened.
A demonic eye stared at everything. It saw through all the illusions. Xu Yuan could see it too! He could see everything in front of him clearly.
The world was made up of numerous blue butterflies. The essence of the world was the butterflies. There was nothing in the space except the blue fluttering butterflies.
It meant that Xu Yuan and the Thorn Fairy hadn’t left the body of the mythical beast yet. They were still inside.
Xu Yuan had expected it. He didn’t think, even for a moment, that they had been suddenly expunged out into the real world.
Xu Yuan noticed a crack in the space through which sunlight filtered through. A ray of light burst from that gap. A unicorn appeared on the imaginary land. “Your Majesty Lan Yu!” said the unicorn. “It’s you. I can sense it. It is really you, isn’t it?”
The unicorn stared at the land in front of it. “I can’t believe that human Overlord put you to sleep here!”
The unicorn’s mutterings gave the Thorn Fairy and Xu Yuan an idea of the type of bond the creature had with the mythical beast.
“Your Majesty… we fought countless battles. It was glorious! Those who followed you turned out to be unreliable b*stards!” said the unicorn. “After you fell asleep, they all scattered…”
The unicorn muttered to itself, reminiscing the past. “Today, after countless years, I have finally found you. Your Majesty… please wait for me. I will wake you up at all costs!”
The illusionary image disappeared, and with it, the unicorn. Time seemed to fly past. Day changed into night, and then into day rapidly. Seasons changed. The unicorn visited a few more times. Every time the unicorn visited, it relayed the progress of its plan to the sleeping beast.
“So, that is the First Saint of the Dark Screen…”
The Thorn Fairy was surprised. The unicorn had never once said that he was the First Saint but, from what she saw, the Thorn Fairy guessed that the First Saint must be the unicorn.
“This must be the mythical beast’s memories,” said Xu Yuan. However, he wasn’t sure.
It seemed highly likely that this was how the mythical beast remembered things. It had sensed the unicorn’s visits. It could hear him speak. However, it couldn’t respond.
The mythical beast was in a somewhat vegetative state. It couldn’t move or respond. But it could still remember. It was very clear about everything that happened in the outside world.
