The man suddenly floated over, approaching Josh’s direction, "I’m curious, why aren’t you getting lost in my illusion realm? Is there nothing in this world that you long for?"
Josh worried he might dig up her secrets, turned around to run.
The players were anxious when they saw this: "Why are you running? Co back and release us first!"
"Exactly! Don’t you have a brain? You can’t defeat him, but we can! Just let us out, and you won’t have to fear this man!"
"Yeah! Josh, co here and save us!"
"Running around aimlessly, what are you doing!"
The man restrained her, "Your guilty conscience makes even more curious."
Josh perford a dream realm escape.
The man instantly appeared in front of her, entering the dream realm with her.
Yushi paused, watching the two disappear from the spot, and had to move to Yuze’s side: "Captain, what do we do?"
Yuze frowned: "How did you break free from this plaster?"
Yushi scratched his head: "The Little Tactician hit out with a stick."
Yuze: "Pick up that stick and try prying it open for ."
Yushi was puzzled: "But that monster said this plaster is also an illusion realm, not real."
Upon hearing this, Yuze’s body froze.
No matter how he moved, the plaster was stuck to him, keeping him trapped.
Suddenly, a fire broke out on the ground.
"Ahhh, there’s a fire! Help!"
"What’s going on? Where did the fire co from?"
"Damn it! Soone save us! What kind of plaster is this? Why can’t we break free no matter what we try?"
Josh leaped out from another exit, seeing the illusion realm of fire, a coldness flashed in her eyes.
The man laughed, chasing behind her: "Do you think if these people think they’re being burned to death in the illusion realm, can they wake up?"
Among them were Yuze and Yushi.
Josh stared at the man, suddenly having a flash of insight, pulling everyone into the Infinite Dream.
She jumped into the dream realm, and the man followed closely.
Yuze and the others could only see the fire swelling, carrying a hot, scorching temperature, then suddenly disappearing.
One mont it’s a volcanic eruption, the next it’s shattered.
The man looked at Josh, a glimr of admiration flashing in his eyes: "You’re smart."
By pulling everyone into her dream realm, she gained the ability to control the illusion realm to confront him, using her dream realm to dismantle his illusion realm.
The man suddenly leaned closer, "Little girl, why don’t you stay and beco my apprentice? You have extraordinary talent..."
Josh turned around, suddenly taking on the appearance of his wife.
The man’s face changed dramatically, a flash of disbelief in his eyes: "How did you..."
"Husband, I’m in so much pain, why won’t you co be with ..." The woman’s voice was exactly as he rembered.
The man backed away two steps in terror, then suddenly realized sothing was wrong.
Illusion realm?!
He raised his hand and unleashed an attack, breaking Josh’s illusion realm.
Josh retreated two steps, sneering at the man: "How was it? Was my illusion realm decent enough?"
The man’s face darkened: "You’re courting death!"
Completely enraged, in the illusion realm, countless flas rushed toward Josh, bringing a genuine scorching temperature.
Josh retreated step by step.
The man’s power doubled in an instant, appearing like a volcano erupting.
Josh’s hands and feet were bound by flas, her whole body roasting in the fire.
The scorching heat made her furrow her brows involuntarily.
Staring at the man’s grim face, Josh suddenly had a brainwave; she seed to realize what the man’s weakness was.
She concentrated and cald herself, this was her Infinite Dream—she had the final say!
Josh suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze resolute; the surrounding environnt reversed in an instant, the blaze beca controlled by Josh, not diminishing but increasing instead.
Under her control, the flas approached the man.
Her appearance changed to that of the man’s wife.
The man’s pupils contracted sharply: "Get away! It’s all fake!"
Josh slowly raised her hand, and the plaster on Yuze in the dream realm was removed.
She left an identical puppet in the air to face the man while she jumped to Yuze’s side: "Yushi, go find a key that can open the door to the studio, it should be hidden in a place resembling a mourning hall, look carefully near any black and white photos of a woman."
Yushi nodded and left.
Yuze: "What about ?"
Josh used the dream realm to shape him into the appearance of a woman: "It’s your ti to shine."
She flung Yuze out with spider silk, catching the man’s attacks.
Seeing Yuze’s face, the man beca more disoriented.
Josh continuously generated more identical faces in the dream realm, these faces floating around the man, flas burning around him.
"Burn you! Burn you!"
"You freak!"
"You monster!"
The expression on the man’s face shifted from shock to terror, flailing wildly like a madman, unleashing attacks.
The players hit by his attacks instantly fell into a despairing illusion realm, wanting to end their lives with a knife.
Josh paid no attention to them.
She was exhilarated.
The new usage of the Infinite Dream was discovered by her.
She realized that through the dream realm sensing, as long as soone was in the dream realm, she could freely open up their mories, as easily as flipping through a diary.
She just wasn’t sure if the difficulty varied depending on different people’s levels of spiritual power.
Josh saw the man’s mories.
He was a painter in a small town, whose paintings could confuse the minds of others, making him considered an oddball by the townsfolk.
He painted a picture for his wife, almost causing her death.
In the painting, the wife’s deceased father reappeared before her, accompanying her in playing and talking.
One day, the wife, subrged in the dream realm, accidentally walked out of the house, onto the street, nearly getting hit by a car.
The father she saw disappeared instantly.
The wife felt deceived and grew terrified of her husband’s superpower, so she united with all of the town’s residents, together locking him in the studio and burning him alive with fire.
But he didn’t die; not only was he saved, but he was also fully intact.
However, his entire body was covered with scarred, burned skin.
To not scare others, he wrapped himself in bandages daily, turning himself into a mummy, seeing no sunlight.
His wife, consud by guilt, dared not appear before him.
The man created a bunch of plaster statues, using them to find his wife, making her into a living plaster statue, suffocating her in a veil.
From then on, his mastery of illusion techniques grew day by day, all those who had hard, insulted, or even looked down on him were eventually made into plaster statues stored in the studio.
Fire and his wife were his vulnerabilities, the sources of his despair and agony when near death, and the only psychological hurdle after surviving the ordeal.
Josh capitalized on this, continuously creating more wives and fires in the dream realm.
The man’s sanity surely started to falter, his illusion techniques slackened, the illusion realm he established was crumbling bit by bit, and Josh’s realm was gradually being built and perfected.
