Cecil took some time to recover from the shock of being eaten by a monster.
Only then did she see the person standing in front of her with the help of the weak light.
Cecil's first impression of her was that she was a powerful warrior. The armor she wore was made of a material that Cecil had never seen before. Just from the design of the armor, he could tell that she was emitting the aura of a powerhouse.
"Are you … the bodyguard that my father hired?"
Cecil had never seen someone dressed like this among the bodyguards.
"What bodyguard?"
She turned around to face Cecil, who was lying on the ground. Only then did Cecil get a clear look at the other party's face. It was a woman with dark brown skin. Many islanders in the Coastal Nation had this kind of skin color, so it wasn't uncommon.
"Are you the king's man?"
Cecil carefully stood up. She was already about 1.67 meters tall, but she could only reach the chin of the person in front of her.
"You don't look like a character from a game. Let me think … Were you sleeping just now?" She asked Cecil a strange question.
At this moment, Cecil realized that when she spoke … her mouth didn't move at all! Not only did her mouth not move, even her facial expression didn't change!
It looked very strange, but what was even more strange was …
"Your voice is so strange. It sounds like a man." Cecil wasn't in the mood to answer her question.
"What? I'm a man. "Her voice sounded very matter-of-fact.
But when Cecil heard this answer, she took a few steps back. Even though the person in front of her was wearing an exquisite armor, the armor couldn't stop her figure that was so good that it made her feel ashamed.
Cecil was only seventeen years old this year. She hadn't reached the age of adulthood yet … But without a doubt, the figure of the person in front of her was definitely something she would pursue after she became an adult.
But even with such a good figure that countless women yearned for, and an appearance that was filled with mature feminine charm, she still said that she was a man?
Cecil couldn't wrap her head around it for a while.
"Don't worry about this for now. Tell me first, were you sleeping just now?" Her question once again made Cecil's mind work.
"I was sleeping, but I woke up very quickly," Cecil immediately replied.
"Then you should be in a dream right now. It's just a nightmare," she said.
"Nightmare?"
Cecil pinched her cheek. She could clearly feel the pain radiating from her cheek.
"Impossible, my consciousness is very clear, and I can feel pain. If this is really a dream …"
Before Cecil could finish his words, a scream came from another part of the manor. She immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
"That's my younger brother's voice. He must've been attacked by those monsters. You … what's your name?" Cecil was halfway through his sentence when he realized that he still didn't know this female warrior's name.
"You can just call me the Flame Relayer."
She told Cecil a very strange name, like a title, but Cecil didn't have time to think about it.
"Flame Relayer, I'm Cecil Nicadon. I'm going to save my brother … Please … save him!" Cecil used honorifics in a moment of desperation.
"This is a dream. You won't really die if you're killed in a dream, but there should be some other price to pay."
The female warrior once again turned to look at another part of the manor. The monster's corpse had disappeared at some point, but a ball of grey light directly entered the corpse that was being torn apart by the monster.
The face was gone, and only a few pieces of flesh were left of the corpse. It gradually turned back into a human female.
"What's going on?"
Cecil covered his mouth in discomfort when he saw this scene. He knew this human female. She was one of the maids in their manor.
"Soul? Consciousness? Or is it one's emotions … In any case, these monsters don't eat the physical body in the real world, but something like the spirit in the consciousness. Killing them seems to bring them back. "She once again said something that Cecil couldn't understand.
Cecil wasn't in the mood to chat with her. He ran straight into the manor.
… …
"A collective dream? The consciousness of the World Tree of the Dark Elves? "
Josiah looked at the interface of the Weave in front of him. The characters in the World Scar had arrived in a dream world.
This wasn't just a single person's dream … It was very likely that everyone in the city had been dragged into this consciousness space.
"They treat human souls as nourishment." Shiratori had experienced the disaster of Assequero, so she could immediately guess what these monsters wanted to do. "These twisted creatures are just carriers. They devour souls in their sleep and transport them to another place."
"They treat the people of an entire city as food?"
Josiah controlled his subordinate, the Flame Relayer, to follow Lady Cecil into the manor. Josiah had logged into this dream through the leaf on her body.
If he was too far away from this lady, he would probably get disconnected.
Cecil walked all the way to the second floor of the manor, where her brother lived. The moment she reached the second floor, she covered her mouth and almost rolled down the stairs.
The corridor was filled with all sorts of corpses with broken limbs. There were also two monsters similar to the ones in the garden eating human corpses.
Cecil felt extremely nauseous, but her body didn't allow her to vomit.
When the two monsters discovered her, they immediately turned their heads at a 180 degree angle and charged towards Cecil with their eight legs.
Cecil saw the figures of her loved ones among the corpses. This caused her fear to turn into anger and hatred. She wanted to cast magic to kill the two monsters, but she failed.
She was one of the top geniuses in the Flowing Water system, but at this moment, she couldn't feel the existence of magical elements!
Cecil's hand stopped in mid-air. She didn't cast the ice pillar spell, but the two monsters had already pounced on her.
"God of Flowing Water and Healing!" Cecil shouted the name of the god she believed in uncontrollably.
Her prayers seemed to be answered by the god. An ice-blue magic arrow pierced through the nearest monster, while the other monster was killed by the Flame Relayer under Josiah's control.
She wasn't the one who released the magic arrow! Cecil turned her head in disbelief and saw a woman wearing a long blue robe.
Cecil recognized this girl. Although she looked like a real person in real life, this was undoubtedly her role in the World's Scar. This role still had her in-game name, Snow Seal.
The two monsters were killed one after another. The souls and spirits they devoured returned to the corpses in the corridor.
