Helloom Prison, Level -4. ▲Search. ▲

"So that's how it is."

Selena the jailer slowly opened her eyes. She had already gotten a general idea of Huberlian's dream.

Generally speaking, people with severe inner trauma are the ones who get so deeply lost in their dreams.

Because this layer is a dream.

代表的。

A person's heart harbors the most delicate fantasies or irreparable regrets.

That was a beautiful dream destined not to be realized in reality.

And those who break free from the dream realm and remain lucid can perceive the content of others' dreams from a certain distance.

This also allows you to infer the other person's deep pain and weaknesses.

Outside of the Hellesmoore Prison's Level -4 cells, every step you take could lead you into an illusion.

Every time I fall into a dream, I fall harder than before.

The deeper and longer one is trapped, the more likely their soul is to completely dissolve into the fantasy.

For every guard and inmate who steps onto this level, the moment of landing will at least result in a hallucination, and the jailers waiting on the fourth floor will be able to see the content of their hallucinations.

Although prison rules forbid physical attacks, once you know someone's psychological weakness, even words can inflict unimaginable damage, leading them to self-destruction.

Selena, the warden, let out a delighted chuckle.

As an Imperial Seventh-Rank Illusionist, she possesses an extremely high resistance to illusion magic and is very adept at breaking out of illusions. Similarly, if she needs to deal with criminals, knowing their inner pain, she can tailor phantasms that torment them until they collapse from within.

Because of this, even at this level, she would be victorious in a one-on-one duel against Antanas, the Great Demon Protector who had broken free from his shackles.

Even if Antanas was left alone, he would be unable to escape the long corridor of 【The Fallen Gentle Haven】 on the fourth floor by himself.

For the Protoss Empire, Selene is an invaluable asset.

But to Selena, she had never considered this place as a workplace.

This is her playground.

Whether it's manipulating inmates into suicide or occasionally corrupting guards, these are all pleasures she finds invaluable.

...is also only her power.

……

In the realm of Huyberlians' dreams.

She only saw her mother, Efa and her father, Micah standing in front of the newly opened shop, carrying a cake box, seemingly preparing to go home as well.

It's like we haven't seen each other in years, even though we should be seeing each other every day.

She didn't even dare to step forward, afraid that she wouldn't be able to distinguish between dream and reality. Suddenly, it would turn into a nightmare again, causing her to lose this kind of peaceful yet intense happiness once more.

But Ifathia did not hesitate with Hyberlian, she saw Hyberlian and walked up to him with a smile.

"Look, Huberlian, we bought you a birthday cake. This restaurant's pastries are supposed to be super popular with the local residents!"

Efahtia held up the cake box in her hand, grinning at Huberlian.

I can't wait to celebrate my daughter's birthday.

"

“…”

" Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Hubberley had been half-a-day without taking the cake box, wondering what she was afraid of.

Finally, her tears fell as she rushed forward and embraced the two figures.

"Oh my, what are you doing"

Ifathia broke into a shy smile.

Although she didn't mind being held by her daughter, there were still some pedestrians watching them on the street.

A human's logical reaction in this situation should be to feel embarrassed.

However, considering her daughter's feelings, she still decided to accommodate Huberlia.

Mihaela just shrugged helplessly, after all, it was Huberly's birthday today, let her have fun.

"By the way, Huberlian, tomorrow is the weekend, I'm off work, it just so happens that I can take you to Nantantina Bay. The sea view there is very beautiful."

Since I took you there when you were little, you've been thinking about it for a long time. But you probably don't remember it now.

……

In the high-altitude observation space, the Ice Snow Witch clenched her hand tightly. Even she, who had always been unmoved, couldn't help but feel concerned about Hyberlian at this moment.

The Huberlian state seems to be very bad, with absolutely no chance of escaping the dream.

Back in the Kingdom of Aetherlan, she still felt that Huberlian was inwardly positive and optimistic, not falling too deeply into this [Falling Land of Tenderness]. Now, perhaps her thoughts have reversed.

Walk from here to the teleportation portal on the next level. There are one hundred and thirty-one floor tiles, and each tile's space will trigger an illusion the moment someone steps onto it, with a slight cooldown period.

In the prison guard trials at Helrom Prison, teams of people can work together to help each other.

For example, one person enters a tile area first and falls into a dream. The rest enter his dream through the tiles within a certain time limit to try and wake him up. Then, one by one, others step onto new tiles, trying not to let anyone fall into a dream consecutively and giving them enough rest time.

But there is a prerequisite, which is that someone must first rely on their own strength to break free from the illusion.

Besides, a warden who looks extremely mentally unwell might also give negative interference.

As for the true Daemo Trial, it requires a demon to traverse one hundred and thirty-one steps alone. From the hundred and thirty-first step onwards, they must continuously fall into illusions and emerge from them with their own strength, without relying on any other creature's assistance.

Most of the demon races who attempt the challenge will die within the first twenty steps, becoming lost in their dreams and dissolving into nothingness.

Only the most wicked and resolute of demons can see through illusions here, for their hearts hold no softness, no cracks or weaknesses. Thus, within a descent into fantasy that is not too deep, they find the point where dreams and reality converge, and reverse it.

Even for some extreme cases, there is little difference between reality and dreams.

Even in a dream, one can resort to the most cruel measures and destroy everything.

The rest of the creatures, the more they lean towards the camp of good, the more sentimental they are, the more they will be destroyed within this illusion.

The Ice Snow Witch knew deep down that she couldn't pass the 【Falling into the Land of Gentle Affection】, a major trial for the Demon race.

Now she can only pray that the three alleged resurrectionist fellows will help Huberlian.

But at the moment, those three guys are not moving either.

It seems they aren't particularly irredeemable people, and there are also huge cracks in their hearts.

Only...the one lying on the ground, seems to be moving a little...

……

Hello, at Herlohm Prison, Warden Selena observed the five guards.

At this level, she is practically invincible. By seeing through people's weaknesses, she can even create illusions that manipulate enemies, or impersonate important figures.

She clasped her hands together, as if in a pre-meal prayer, already unable to resist tasting the delicious pain of the silver-haired girl.

But...

Selena murmured to herself, glancing at the black-haired, green-eyed girl on the ground.

The illusion she fell into seemed grand to an almost absurd degree, constantly drawing in barrier spells that deepened the reality of her dream. Even the prison's magic began to shift for her, manipulating itself to sustain her phantasm.

Selena the warden couldn't help but wonder, what was it that her heart secretly yearned for but couldn't achieve

You can't really want world peace, can you

Then Selena moved slightly closer to the black-haired, green-eyed girl behind the mask.

Let's see first, what is this girl thinking about.
