Chapter 765 Celia's Nightmare (4k)

"Where is this..."

Celia looked around in confusion.

There was nothingness all around, and stars were everywhere.

Do not……

It seems there's no distinction between superior and inferior.

Celia felt herself floating in the void, unable to sense any gravity.

This world also had some scientific enlightenment. Although all its exploration and knowledge of the outside world came from a thousand years ago, it also knew where the zero-gravity environment was.

"Could this be... somewhere in the starry sky?"

Celia instinctively summoned a flying broom, but it missed.

Fortunately, she discovered that she could use her magic here.

The fourth-order unit already possesses the ability to fly, and in a zero-gravity environment, flying is even easier.

Celia didn't know much about the stars; astrology was an elective course, which she hadn't taken.

The girl flew up crookedly in the starry sky.

Without the influence of gravity and air, she felt somewhat unaccustomed to flying.

However, they adapted quickly.

She began to fly rapidly in one direction, constantly accelerating.

The surrounding constellations remained unchanged, there was no wind resistance, and no change in speed could be felt, so I continued to accelerate using magic.

Until she suddenly felt the surrounding stars slowly turn into a line, and then all the stars turned into lines, and she seemed to fly into a tunnel made of starry sky.

"In this situation, it seems... the speed is too fast?"

After thinking for a moment, Celia decided to slow down.

When the stars transformed back into a myriad of stars, she saw a ray of starlight slowly enlarging before her.

She saw a blue planet.

She did nothing, but a mysterious force suddenly appeared, gripping her tightly like tentacles and dragging her toward the planet.

She fell towards the planet.

The familiar wind resistance and gravity appeared, and her speed was hundreds of times faster than the speed at which Ross propelled her.

Fear instantly enveloped her.

The earth rapidly expanded, and she could only watch helplessly as flames engulfed her body, causing her to crash heavily into the ground.

"No!"

Celia opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, her heart pounding.

The girl gasped for breath, touched her heart, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

"Am I having a nightmare?"

"Ah."

Ross's calm voice came from the side.

Celia looked over and saw the puppet sitting there.

"Lord Ross..."

"What did you dream about?" Ross asked in return.

"I dreamt of the starry sky..."

Celia told Ross about her dream without hesitation.

As she recalled the experience, she felt her heart rate increase again.

The feeling of crashing into the ground at high speed sent chills down her spine.

Celia patted her cheeks and took a deep breath to suppress the feeling.

She looked at Ross, but found him lost in thought and not saying a word.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Mr. Ross, is there something wrong with this dream?"

Ross looked up, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing. You were just having a nightmare because of the strange power here. It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Celia was relieved. "That's good. I haven't had nightmares in a long time. I don't think I've had any since I became a sorcerer."

"Okay, go back to sleep."

Celia patted the blanket beside her: "Want to sleep together?"

Ross glanced at her, then left the puppet and appeared in Celia's mental space. He snapped his fingers and conjured a bed in Celia's mental space.

"Want to sleep together? Come on, get in bed."

Celia looked at the bed in her mental space, then shook her head timidly: "N-never mind, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, Mr. Ross!"

Ross watched with amusement as Celia closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, without saying anything.

Her smile faded only after her breathing gradually calmed down.

He touched the air, and wisps of divine power appeared in the air.

This is an ancient battlefield where all forms of energy existing on the Starfall Continent have transformed into the most primal energy eruption, turning this place into a hell, including the Abyss and the God Realm.

The divine reflection recorded everything in this area, turning it into small worlds that were presented to those who strayed into it.

Those who enter this area will also be affected by the power of the reflection, experiencing some special reactions.

Ross couldn't describe the reaction for the time being, only knowing that the magical power here would stir people's hearts and, through dreams, make the target see some bad... memories?
"Or rather, it involves bringing out a person's deepest fears and creating dreams?"

Ross pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head.

"Let's just think of it this way for now. I've never seen anything like this before, and I don't know what's going on. Maybe I'll find out when I meet the Goddess of Fate."

But will the goddess of fate be here?

Rose felt it was a bit risky.

The title of goddess of fate gives her a mysterious air among the twelve Olympian gods. When she joins forces with the goddess of wisdom, they may even be able to outwit the king of the gods.

Given her personality, it's unlikely she would give out her location coordinates so easily.

So the question is, what does the goddess of fate want to do by bringing Celia here?
Ross frowned and fell into deep thought.

……

The next day.

Celia opened her eyes, greeted Ross, and began packing up the tent and everything she had taken out.

After tidying up, she looked into the distance and regained her energy.

"Mr. Ross, let's go!"

Celia began to move forward, carefully sensing everything around her, trying to find the pattern in the formation of the divine realm's reflection.

Unfortunately, her abilities did not support her in doing so.

Before long, she was drawn into the reflection of the divine realm.

This time it appears to be a normal fourth-tier world, with a self-circulating small world similar to the one she used during her ascension trials, inhabited by powerful monsters.

"This kind of world is still quite easy to get through."

Celia smiled.

But she soon realized that she was still naive.

"The monsters here are immune to all magical attacks?!"

Celia was shocked.

Then they began to flee for their lives in a sorry state.

Ross followed slowly beside her, exasperated: "Idiot, can't you switch to melee combat?"

"Close combat? You mean I have to fight monsters with the Myriad Lights Sword?"

"Celia asked."

"Correct."

"Uh……"

Celia summoned the Sword of Myriad Lights and decided to give it a try.

A minute later, Celia was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree and snapping it in two.

"Cough cough cough... Mr. Ross is lying!"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"We can't even win in close combat!"

"You think I can't win in close combat because I lied to you?" "What else could it be!"

Celia blushed, stubbornly refusing to admit that she couldn't fight in close combat.

Although dragon language magic enhanced her melee abilities, she didn't understand any swordsmanship. All she knew was to shout "Ya ya ya ya ya" while rushing forward and slashing, using the Myriad Lights Sword as a knife.

Then it was tragic.

Celia continued to flee, glancing at the giant beast that resembled a gorilla chasing after her.

This behemoth is five meters tall. When it charges, it doesn't care about the trees around it at all. These trees are like grass to it, and it can easily crush them.

Celia felt a chill run down her spine just looking at it.

"No, Mr. Ross, why does it keep chasing me?"

"Because you were in a hurry... no, because you provoked it."

"Did I provoke it?"

Celia was completely bewildered.

I don't understand it at all.

Ross chuckled softly: "Want to know how to kill this monster?"

Celia nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Then it depends on your performance."

Ross's tone remained slow and unhurried.

"?"

Celia understood. As she ran, she put on a high-pitched voice: "Great God, your most beloved believer Celia is in danger! In order not to lose your most beloved Celia, please, great God, Mr. Ross, help Celia and defeat this terrible beast..."

Ross smiled and waited for her to finish before saying, "Alright, now watch closely, this is how we deal with this behemoth."

Celia immediately turned her attention to look behind her.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

boom!
Celia watched as the arrogant giant ape fell into a very obvious crater.

The pit was about six meters deep, and it was about a head taller than the other side.

But it actually…

Can't get out?
A five-meter-tall gorilla was seen pounding its chest and stomping its feet in a six-meter-deep pit, roaring and shouting, but it wouldn't get up.

It's like a 1.9-meter-tall strong man looking at a 2-meter-high wall and worrying.

Its arms could clearly stretch seven or eight meters out.

"What's the principle?"

Celia looked at Ross.

"The Divine Realm Reflection follows the rules of the Divine Realm, where there are no invincible monsters. This monster is immune to magic damage and has very high physical resistance. You didn't even scratch it when you attacked it, so there's only one possibility."

"It's a glitch in its design."

“Strange mechanism…” Celia immediately thought of the special monsters she had encountered during the previous Ascension Trials.

It requires a quick, short attack to kill, or it splits into two smaller ones after being killed, and both smaller ones need to be killed simultaneously, and they explode when killed...

"So, this is a world with a strange mechanism?" Celia looked up at the sky.

Ross laughed heartily, "You got it right. As a reward, you can recite the prayer you just heard."

Celia's face flushed. The words she had uttered in the heat of the moment were somewhat embarrassing, and she couldn't possibly read them out under normal circumstances.

"Huh, don't even think about it!"

The girl turned her head away.

At that moment, a voice came from below.

"The two friends upstairs, please come down for a moment."

Celia paused, looked down, and noticed that several people had appeared beside the pit where the gorilla was trapped, and they were looking up at Celia in the sky.

After thinking for a moment, Celia descended.

"Hello."

Celia greeted her politely.

The people on the ground were carrying spears, wearing animal skins, and exuding magical energy fluctuations of the fourth tier.

As Celia sized them up, they were also sizing up Celia.

A man who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and asked, "What kind of animal hide is that on you? I've never seen one without a single hair before."

"This isn't animal hide, it's cloth."

"Cloth? I don't understand. But you seem pretty strong, how come you can't even beat a little gorilla?"

Baby gorilla?
Celia looked at the roaring gorilla in the pit.

Is it small?
"Could you be the legendary outsider, the one who is both strong and weak?" the leader guessed.

"Huh? Right, right, I'm an outsider, but what does 'both strong and weak' mean?"

The leader explained, "Strong is because your magical energy fluctuations are just as powerful as those of us elite warriors, but weak..."

He looked at the gorilla in the pit and said nothing more.

The others whispered among themselves, seemingly mocking Celia.

Celia chose to remain silent.

Ross calmly asked from the side, "This gorilla is very strong, impervious to blades and bullets, and even magic cannot break its skin. How can we kill it?"

The leader remained silent, but one of the men behind him shouted, "Isn't that simple?"

With that, he took the spear, went to the edge of the pit, and stabbed it, piercing the gorilla's head right through.

The gorilla stopped roaring, slammed heavily into the pit, and was buried on the spot.

"You don't even need to use magic; you can kill someone with a simple poke. Isn't that weak?"

Celia examined the spear in his hand carefully and nodded: "I see, I understand."

"Understand what?"

“Only the weapons here can harm these monsters, right?” Celia said, seemingly addressing the leader, but her eyes were fixed on Ross.

Ross didn't say anything, but the others burst out laughing: "Hahahaha!"

The leader said, "Of course not. This little gorilla is stupid. It just charges around recklessly. A small trap can trap it, and you can kill it with any stick."

"Stab him to death..."

Celia immediately understood.

Ross's voice echoed in her mind: "That's right, that's how this gorilla works. You can only hurt it by poking and stabbing."

"..."

Celia lost face.

Who would have thought of that!?
Celia glared at Ross with a resentful look.

Clearly, Ross was deliberately keeping quiet, waiting to see her embarrass herself.

The chieftain said, “Two outsiders, in order to avoid dying here, why don’t you come and sit with our Gray Brown Tribe? Let our experienced warriors tell you how to survive in this Black Forest.”

Celia looked at Ross, then nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you all."

The warriors of the Gray Brown Tribe swiftly removed a... magic crystal from the gorilla's brain?
Then, calling to Celia and Ross, they headed out of the forest.

Before long, they arrived at a tribe called Gray Brown.

The tribe's exterior is a striking shade of gray-brown, and it looks quite nice.

Once inside, Celia attracted a large crowd of people from various tribes.

However, from their voices, Celia noticed that they were all pointing and commenting on the mage's robes she was wearing, and then on her frail body, shaking their heads incessantly.

As Celia looked on in confusion, she saw the women from the gray-brown tribe.

Okay, they all look like protein queens, all muscle.

No wonder he doesn't fancy a lady like her.

"A magical tribe, it feels like ancient humans just beginning to awaken."

Celia said to Ross in her mind.

Ross chuckled lightly, then said, "Then you'd better be careful. Everyone in this tribe has a special mechanism."
