As the piercing sound of strange laughter pierced their ears.
"Uh..."
Nymph and Olivia involuntarily furrowed their brows, sensing a muddy sludge-like filth, using sound as a dium, continuously invading their minds.
Even the transparent spiritual light surrounding them began to gradually turn murky and dim.
[Divine Skill: Delusional Heart Sound]
Effect: Using a dark heart as the dium, with sound as the carrier, ignoring physical defenses to pollute and curse the target from the essence of spirituality.
Riding on a gray-white giant octopus, the twelve Tier 3 Bishops flew in from all directions.
Their faces were covered with disgusting purple-black tentacles, which incessantly waved as they began to surround the won, with vicious smiles slowly erging at the corners of their mouths.
With an overwhelming force of 6:1, calculated with precision, the main and assistant targets were surely theirs!
However.
Whoosh—!
As the Spiritual Wind arose suddenly, amidst the seemingly inescapable encirclent, a dazzling treasure light shot up toward the sky, Nymph and Olivia had already adorned their [Gemstone Armant].
Colored diamond necklace, moonstone earrings, tourmaline ring, ruby bracelet, diamond leg ring, sapphire anklet, crystal high heels...
Two extraordinarily beautiful won, matched with treasures that were each worth a fortune, illuminated the dreary [Dream Beast Cage] with magnificent brilliance.
The combat power aside, just their lavish appearance could intimidate a fair number of people.
Although it was unclear what madness these Octopus Heads suddenly fell into, abruptly attacking after years of tacit understanding between the sides, preserving life was now the priority.
prol——
Olivia was the first to act.
Amidst a chilling curse, the moonstone earrings on her earlobes rapidly emanated a circle of blue magic spiritual light, radiance clear as the full moon swiftly cascaded like water waves over their bodies.
Under such powerful influence that could even reverse loss of control, the vicious contamination unleashed by the twelve Bishop-level "Deceitful Dream Cultists" was instantly swept away.
[Gem Witchcraft: Moonstone: Spiritual Purification]
At the sa ti.
A jade color[True Na] appeared on Nymph's pale forehead.
Pop—!
The erald arm ring on her left arm shimred with spiritual light, the jade-colored wave of gentle but swift light spread outward like a dream, swiftly clashing against the [Dream Beast Cage] constructed by the Deceitful Dream Cultists.
With a violent tremor, the space they stood in seed to have been pushed upward, overall elevating considerably and coming closer to the Material World.
[Gem Witchcraft: Erald Nightmare]
In comparison to the group of "Deceitful Dream Cultists", Nymph's lifebound gem[Erald]rooted its power in dreams as well.
Moreover, due to the Wizard's pursuit of knowledge and truth, their capability far exceeds that of the Holy Professionals, who only know how to rely on divine power.
The difference is akin to two adults of the sa 60 kg weight, but one is an ordinary person while the other is a combat expert.
This is also the main reason why the "Deceitful Dream Cultists" sent out twelve Bishops in one go for insurance.
And it wasn't over yet.
Nymph simultaneously extended her hand to draw a circle in front of herself.
Chirping...
Hissing...
Like arrows filling the sky, Kingfishers, one-eyed flying snakes, red-faced birds, double-headed flying dragons, writhing colored light bands, bizarre humanoid shapes like balls of yarn... poured out.
Having already manifested various eerie, absurd, and indescribable anomalies from her own dominated dream realm, they fearlessly charged at the group of octopus monsters.
[Gem Witchcraft: Erald: True Dream Realm]
The lead Bishop's expression remained unchanged, having nearly morized the intelligence files before taking action.
Besides being surprised by Olivia's abilities, they were intimately familiar with Nymph's ans as the primary target.
Issuing orders using telepathy in the Spirit World.
"Don't give them a mont of respite, finish quickly! The shielding of the [Beast Cage] has its limits; if the news leaks out, it would be disastrous!"
This ti, they had broken the years-long tacit understanding between Nymph and Olivia, a breach of rules on a grand scale.
If only to ensure the powerful "Ghost Ship" [Deceitful Dream] could follow commands and be deployed in battle, not even the most insane of the Evil God's camp would risk inducing a divine war.
Especially when Aiven successfully ascended to [Truth Embodint], keeping his composure even previously facing six alone.
Clearly, His combat prowess was not remotely comparable to those "defective products" born during the Renaissance period centuries ago.
But "Master of the Mist Sea" Loygor was different. If unable to reclaim the purged power cultivated over an era, He would remain trapped within the Mist Sea, perishing alongside the Fifth Era.
If they could consider the greater good, would they still be called Evil Gods?
Moreover, in the "Dream Realm" they claid as their ho ground, as long as the action was swift enough to achieve unnoticed execution, by the ti Aiven reacted, perhaps the power retrieval ritual would already be completed.
At that mont, holding two heavyweight hostages in hand, the freshly ascended[Truth Embodint] would certainly not dare to disobey.
This plan was simply perfect!
When a group of companions hurled tidal waves of magical attacks towards the Nymph and Olivia, the leading bishop took out a bone flute from his bosom and began to play it.
Woo woo... woo... woo woo woo...
With a strange gust of wind that didn't even flutter the hem of their clothes, three indistinct silhouettes appeared behind him, raising their hands toward those trapped in the encirclent.
Shhh!
The Dream Realm in front of them seed to be instantly covered with a new "layer," and the strange phenona summoned by the Nymph vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.
"Source of Nightmare" Hypnos, lacking conscious independent thought and personality, is driven collectively by the consciousness of all those devoured, much like a never-ending noisy public assembly.
Besides wandering aimlessly, its response to the outside world is incredibly limited and sluggish to the extre.
A request from the cultists might receive a response after a year or two, or never at all.
Among the countless consciousnesses, three aspects are the most prominent, equivalent to three subconsciousnesses, who are the main administrators of this "collective."
Oeneus, the Oracle Bearer, from whose mouth all commands ultimately stem; Icarus, the Terror Bearer, who freely manipulates countless layers of the dream space;
mphis, the Master of Dream Origins, who can interfere with the dreams of all sentient beings (the stronger the individual, the weaker the interference ability).
Woosh woosh woosh....
Accompanied by the sound of a tidal wave, layer upon layer of overwhelming colored foam surged towards the two.
[Divine Art: Dream Turbulence]
Stirring up countless layers of chaotic dreams to violently engulf the opponent.
Cover the target's soul with false dreams until they no longer rember who they are, even crafting another false life.
After a brief daze, the two had already forgotten how they arrived here, and illusions began to rise before them.
Vast mushroom forests, dark and damp caves, magnificent palaces... countless familiar mories rushed towards them, trying to reshape them into entirely different people.
However, the witchcraft knowledge etched into their bones remained.
A streak of erald light had already surged from the top of Olivia's head, transforming into the [Alchemist's Ultimate Magic Book: Jade Record], and she swiftly uttered:
"Maxim One: Reality is not false, never lie, and will inevitably bring reality!"
Legend has it that the "God of Wisdom" condensed the knowledge of alchemy into thirteen maxims, engraving them onto an erald gemstone plate, passing them down to the mortal world.
Alchemists call this text the "Jade Record," containing the ultimate secrets of spiritual and material transformation, the origin of all alchemy in the world.
Although Olivia is not the [Forbidden Curse: Jade Record Interpreter] as Crowned Wizard Paracelsus of the "Alchemy School."
But the power of the [Magic Book: Jade Record] itself is already enough to temporarily exempt them from this divine art.
At this mont, the crisis has not been averted.
"Hesi!"
"Mother!"
The two exchanged a glance, a sparkling [Gem Star] already appearing in their hands in tacit coordination!
The next mont.
Stel——
It was as if two dazzling, giant suns had descended, causing the gray-white [Beast Cage] to tremble slightly as if unable to withstand such terrifying power.
Next, two grand bows adorned with exquisite gemstones on a golden base appeared above their heads, slowly drawing into a full circle.
In the roaring wind, the mother and daughter's long hair danced wildly, like two goddesses descended to the mortal world, both extending their slender, graceful right hand in a gun-firing gesture.
[Gem Witchcraft: Shattered Star]
At the cost of temporarily losing their casting ability, they annihilated a Gem Star, releasing the boundless power of eons condensed within it; in the hands of a Great Wizard, it could raze a city.
The combined strength of the two is enough to break the [Beast Cage] constructed by twelve Tier 3 entities with ease.
Ultimately, the Octopus Head Bishops who underestimated the financial power of these two were drenched in cold sweat, screaming internally:
"Don't be impulsive, calm down! That's a hundred thousand Golden Lions!"
Absolute power is utterly unstoppable.
Bang! Bang!
However, just as two dazzling radiances were about to pierce this layer of the dream realm.
Woo——!
An eerie flute sound echoed from deep within everyone present, causing the two to feel slightly dazed, with a thick drowsiness nearly collapsing their defenses.
Imdiately, a colossal grayish-white tentacle of unknown length pierced through the [Beast Cage], standing before the two [Shattered Star] shots.
Puff!
The two [Shattered Stars], which had lost their accuracy but could still annihilate a city, struck the tentacle and vanished like a mud bull sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple.
At the sa ti, the thick tentacle abruptly split into thousands, swiftly engulfing the already eyelid-closed Nymph, and was about to do the sa to Olivia.
Aoooo——!
Unexpectedly, a thunderous dragon's roar suddenly emanated from the girl's slender body.
