Chapter 99 The Cyclic Dream

“Ainars, I know you owe Celia money and want to pay it back as soon as possible, which is why I invited you in.”

Are you back again?
Enarse looked at the camp in front of her and the incessantly chattering Mil, panting heavily.

She felt as if her soul was being torn apart, her memory stuck on the moment when the terrifying monster's gaping maw swallowed her whole.

Not sure what happened.

All she remembered was that she and her classmates went to a forest to complete a quest, and on the way back they encountered an invincible monster.

It was a monster that resembled a combination of a giant python and a lizard, and the five of them were powerless against it.

She seemed to have been killed by that monster, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the camp where she had rested halfway.

She thought she was dreaming, so, with a strong sense of déjà vu, she continued to follow Mil and the others to complete the tasks and return.

Then you encounter that terrifying monster.

Then it was devoured by the monster.

“Enarse, I know you owe Celia money…”

"Run!"

Awakening for the third time with excruciating pain that felt like her soul was being torn apart, Enarse interrupted Mir.

"There are terrifying monsters here..."

"Get out of here with me..."

"..."

"Are you OK?"

"Something's not right with you. Do you have a mental illness?"

"..."

Enarse remained silent.

She found that she couldn't convince others; they treated her as if she were having a mental breakdown.

Thinking that she still had plenty of time, Ainars activated the bracelet in preparation for asking for help from people outside, only to find that the bracelet was unusable.

I don't know when it broke.

She asked other people to let her use the bracelet, only to find that their bracelets also didn't work.

There is no Protoss network in the forest.

After a series of operations, they have successfully completed the entrusted requirements and are ready to return.

Enarse chose to persuade them to leave by another route.

She succeeded.

Then you bump into the monster on another road.

She was swallowed up once again.

“Enarse, I know you owe Celia money…”

The fourth time, the pain in her soul caused her to vomit violently. When the others asked her what was wrong, she excitedly recounted the monsters they were about to encounter.

Then, very strangely, no matter how she tried to persuade them, the others remained unmoved and even forcibly took her to do the commissions.

The nightmare is repeating itself.

“Enarse, I know you owe Celia money…”

The fifth time, she endured the excruciating pain in her soul, ignored everyone else, and chose to run out of the forest.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I can't persuade you. I have to leave now and go find someone to rescue you. You have to hold on and wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back..."

"I didn't abandon my comrades and run away, I ......"

"Roar!"

A tremendous roar suddenly came, and Ainars saw the nightmarish serpent-lizard beast.

There is no escape.

Mir's voice came again.

“Enarse, I know you owe Celia money…”

The sixth time, she silently followed them to complete the task, and when they returned, she chose to move on.

"Roar!"

“Ainars, I know…”

Seventh time.

Ainars collapsed softly.

"Why, why is this happening?"

Why can't I die?

"Help, help..."

"I don't want to die..."

Ainars's eyes were blank; she had grown accustomed to the excruciating pain in her soul.

She could no longer think of how she could escape the clutches of that terrifying monster.

Like a zombie, she followed Mir and the others, completing the quests, returning, and encountering monsters. "Roar!"

“Ainars, I know…”

The eighth time.

"Roar!"

“Ainars, I know…”

Ninth time.

"Roar!"

“Ainars, I know…”

tenth time.

Enarse was completely numb.

It was as if all sounds had left her.

The incessantly talking Mil's body appeared as a double image in front of him.

Then let your soul perish.

By then, I'll be free, won't I?
Enarse thought to herself.

She silently followed Mir and the others, listening to Mir mention Celia twice in three sentences.

An idea came to her.

If Celia comes along...

No, I'm not coming. That monster is terrifying; Celia can't defeat it.

Enarse suppressed the thought.

The mission was successfully completed, and after a good rest, we are ready to return.

But just then, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared and punched Mir right away!
Ainas suddenly raised her head and looked at the newcomer in shock.

“Celia?!”

After punching Mir, Enarse saw Celia walking towards her, stopping in front of her, and smiling at her.

"Hello, Enarse, I'm here to take you home. Come with me."

The dim world seemed to brighten up.

My cold heart started beating again.

But the thought of that terrifying monster calmed her down.

"Celia, you must leave quickly! There's a terrifying monster in this forest, and we... can't defeat it."

“There’s nothing we can’t beat.” Celia reached out and patted her back, comforting her, “Don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll make sure you get out of here safely.”

Celia already knows the details of this dream.

This dream world doesn't evolve indefinitely; it merely extracts a segment of memory and plays it repeatedly. The difference is that Enarse might retain the impression of each memory playback during the repetition, as if trapped in a time loop.

From Enarse's expression, Celia confirmed that she had indeed retained all the memories after the memory reappeared.

If that's the case, then things are much easier.

All we need to do is defeat the terrifying monster that Enarse mentioned.

Celia raised her hand, preparing to release the puppet, but suddenly paused, realizing that she was in the mental space and that she was just a wisp of consciousness.

broken.

There is no way to use puppets or spells.

Oh no, we're going to be trapped here.

Just as Celia was troubled, Ross's soft laughter suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Celia felt as if the magic had returned to her 'body'.

It's Lord Ross!
Celia's tense heart relaxed.

She raised her hand and released the puppet using a puppet storage spell.

“Let’s go, Enarse, take me to meet the monster you’re talking about.”

Enarse watched this scene in shock.

"Celia, you... you've reached Tier 2?!"

"Ah."

A soft "hmm" gradually calmed Aina's tense mood.

Hope has been rekindled.

If it's at level two, it should be able to defeat that terrifying monster, right?
Enarse felt a glimmer of hope.

She didn't even notice why the other three people weren't saying anything at this moment, as if they had become nameless NPCs on the roadside.

Her steps quickened again, and she led Celia forward. Soon, accompanied by a roar, a huge serpent monster appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
