"I……"

“Rennie, would your teacher harm you?” Dussel placed his hand on her shoulder. “Just trust me, and I will take care of the rest.”

"Open your arms and accept me..."

"Accept your mother's fucking!"

One sword breaks the sky.

Night turned into day, and a deluge of white light poured down, melting away the Grelian mansion.

The second floor where Renee's room was located instantly transformed into a pavilion suspended in the endless white light curtain. The surrounding building outlines, which had not yet been dissolved, were mottled, as if the game had loaded the wrong texture.

The sword energy was fierce and powerful, slashing straight in between Renee and Dussel.

Dussel retreated quickly, dodging the menacing blow.

Renee crouched down, clutching her head, her head throbbing with pain.

The menacing French fries landed first, then he scooped up Renee and dragged her to safety.

The teacher, who was offering a friendly greeting to Düssel's family, held up a shield and fell like a meteor, crashing heavily beside Düssel.

"You bastard, this time I'm going to annihilate your soul!"

Dussel, who had memories of his "previous life," immediately recognized the uninvited guest before him.

Zhong Zemo was as violent as a demon god, and his aura was so overwhelming that even he, who was once at the ninth level, was terrified and subconsciously retreated.

The small, magic-suppressing shield was swung around, causing the space around Dussel to shatter and vanish instantly.

In that instant, all the beings from the virtual and real boundaries arrived, protecting Renee, who was crouching and covering her head in defense.

Dussel reappeared, his face grim.

"It's you again!"

"Impressive. As expected of a top-nine rank mage and one of the top mages in the mage tower. I underestimated your backup plan; you're not quite dead yet."

Both sides spoke through gritted teeth.

The moment the Metasequoia's mental magic touched Renee, it keenly sensed the strange and chaotic aura within her disordered consciousness.

She initially thought the faint glow emanating from Mint's skin, that subtle protection, came from magic unconsciously activated by her body. However, upon investigating with mental magic, she discovered that the caster was someone else entirely.

And it's right there in Renee's consciousness!

If it were any other mental mage, after some investigation, the person in question would have already realized what was going on.

But she is a dawn redwood, someone who can tame demons and use them for her own purposes.

Using her own power, she sent everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion into the feedback of Renee's consciousness, into her dream.

She realized that Renee's coma was caused by another entity interfering with her dream.

Dussel clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

“It’s just haunting.”

Jiang Heyi asked incredulously, "You actually possess mental magic?"

"To fight against evil, it is the obvious choice."

It was indeed something they overlooked.

Although the puppets used by Dussel were made by others, he was the one who manipulated them, which required a great deal of mental strength.

Given that he had been fighting against the evil spirits of the Great Snow Mountain since he was young and had spent many years exploring, how could he possibly be completely ignorant of mental magic?

The reason it wasn't used in the battle at the Great Snow Mountain was because the presence of evil spirits would render it futile.

In the battle at the snowy mountain, Dussel appeared to have been killed by the combined attack of everyone, but in fact, he had a backup plan before setting off, which allowed him to escape from a seemingly hopeless situation.

Those who can reach the ninth level are all formidable individuals.

The space around Düsseldorf is riddled with fissures.

The most powerful spatial magic master in Anna's history created endless, twisted rifts in Renee's dream.

The power of spatial magic, suppressed by the evil spirits of the Great Snow Mountain, has reappeared in the world.

Jiang Heyi continued the dialogue, creating space for everyone at the boundary between the virtual and real worlds to choose their positions.

"Why are you trying to get Renee to have the baby? You're not thinking of having her give birth, are you?"

“Otherwise?” Dussel sneered. “Don’t you want such an excellent woman to give birth to the most sublime and powerful magician bloodline for you? That would be a perfect match.”

"With my experience and her talent, our offspring will surely bring glory to Anna!"

Jiang Heyi quickly gave Zhong Zemo a wink.

He was afraid that the teachers would lose control and immediately take action, disrupting the encirclement—although Düssel seemed completely unconcerned about their pincer movement.

“However…” Dussel chuckled, “the first child she’s going to have is me.”

"?"

"?"

The boundary between reality and illusion made the words feel so unfamiliar for the first time.

That's spoken as if it were human language.

Mint glared at Dussel: "I understand. Your body was destroyed by us, but your consciousness escaped through a device similar to a life casket. You cannot remain active for long and must find a new, compatible vessel."

"The difficulty of making a doll is too great. If the soul is rejected, you will suffer another serious injury. You dare not gamble."

"But if it is through bloodline, offspring with a mark will have a much smoother path."

"Hey, hey, hey." The jailer felt the conversation was becoming increasingly niche. "He's already dead, how can he be with Renee?"

"I guess he had already saved some of the essence in advance, just in case."

The jailer was completely bewildered.

Damn it, in this world, you can't become a high-level mage unless you're abnormal, right?

Dussel laughed: "No wonder he's someone Renee can keep thinking about. You guessed right."

"The guy waiting for news outside also has the aura of a demon within him. What do you think would happen if I used Renee's body to detonate the demonic consciousness within her? Anna's high-ranking officials would definitely swarm here."

Minty face turned dark.

"You won't get out of here alive."

"What, ants trying to kill an elephant?" Dussel sneered. "There are no demons here to help you!"

Chapter 405 This is the bond of sun showers

When a high-ranking mage falls from grace, his creativity, imagination, and destructive power on the evil path are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even among animals, Düsseldorf is among the best.

When it comes to perversion, the jailer just wants to raise his hands in surrender.

He only plays with abstract concepts and likes to look at feet; he can't do what Düsseldorf does—talking about perverted things without any psychological burden.

Especially considering that this guy had never perished in the snowy mountains in history, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

He killed his fiancée and his teacher in his youth, yet survived and became a legendary figure in the empire.

In middle age, he achieved great success and opened the door to spatial magic.

The elderly's pathological and cruel killing of rising stars is too numerous to recount.

The fact that this thing can live to old age proves that there are no gods in the Ana world.

"We can't defeat a ninth-tier mage just by numbers."

With an average level of 30 at the boundary between the real and virtual realms, Anna's rank translates to that of a high-level mage, a seventh-tier mage worthy of respect.

But in Düsseldorf's eyes, it was still nothing.

French Fries remembered clearly: "You're not a ninth-tier cultivator. The demons of the Great Snow Mountain clearly told us that because of your old age, your control over magic power is no longer as free as you used to it, and you've fallen back to the eighth tier."

“Indeed, outside, even if I found a new body to temporarily inhabit, my maximum level would only be eighth rank.” Dussel grinned wildly. “But here, I am a true ninth rank!”

With a single thought, the space seemed to have a map texture pack loading error; the textures swayed, the color blocks flickered and jumped.

The entire world trembled violently with Dussel's magic. The spatial rift was like a black hole, opening its bloody maw to them and swallowing them whole before they could even struggle.

At the edge of the boundary between reality and illusion, the ruins of the Grelian mansion became a small boat, drifting in the boundless darkness.

The scene shifted, like a swirling blue magical cloud spreading through the dark space. Intense magical turbulence collided violently, and the rushing water and the howling wind mingled together, making everyone's ears ring.

Düsseldorf hovers in the air, gazing smugly at its masterpiece.

"You brought us into an unstable magical space?" Mint asked in surprise. "Your magic can do this?"

Orange Tea tried to extend the elemental spirits outside the platform, but they vanished in the blink of an eye.

"There's no need to try. With your abilities, you can't reconcile two different frequencies of magic. They will repel each other, and the spells will fail." Dussel glared at Zhong Zemo. "You hurt me badly back in the Great Snow Mountain. Don't worry, this time I won't let you die so easily."

"Your consciousness must remain here!"

Zhong Zemo sensed nothing, but instinctively raised the small magic-suppressing round shield.

The distorted light so close to him sent shivers down his spine. The magic-suppressing effect of the small round shield twisted the arc of the spatial slash, enough to tear flesh and shatter rocks, and the slash poured down his sides toward the ground, leaving irregular claw marks on the ground.

There was almost no casting animation; the spell was merely a raised hand, and it arrived in an instant.

A sudden burst of azure water appeared before him, and Düsseldorf waved calmly.

The trajectory of his arm's swing shattered the space, and Jiang Heyi's Tide Summoning technique disappeared into it without causing a ripple.

"boom!"

The magic collided violently in mid-air, creating a fierce wind that made Dussel's clothes flutter.

"Hiding the spatial slash behind the water blade, a mere trick. You actually think you can use my techniques against me?"

Dussel laughed in exasperation, then suddenly waved his hand, conjuring the abnormal magic flowing in the unstable magic space and binding it into a tangible blade that drew a full moon.

"clang!"

White and red light flashed intermittently, and the immense force made Dussel's scalp tingle. She lost her balance and was thrown backward. A spatial rift that she casually tore open severed the shadow puppet released by the quilt, scaring her into fleeing in panic.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to stab Dussel in the kidneys, but I didn't expect him to be so perceptive. Even though he was hiding in the shadow created by the double, he was still discovered.

Dussel wasn't much better off. To prevent the bed from exploding in his waist, the phantom summoned by the Mad Wolf Fries knife bit his shoulder, causing blood to splatter.

"Try this!"

The enhanced elemental fusion torrents illuminated the dark space, while lightning and fire crisscrossed the sky, reaching directly towards Düsseldorf's face.

He chuckled and tore open the space in front of him, twisting the torrent.

The jailer was still preparing to unleash the zombie explosion atomic bomb when, in the blink of an eye, a rift opened in front of him, and a surging stream of elemental energy erupted out.

"Wow, you're attacking friendly forces!"

The loyal zombie pushed aside the jailer and then disappeared into the torrent.

"What a disgusting guy."

Looking at the serene and peaceful Düsseldorf, the boundary between reality and illusion gritted its teeth.

In this scenario, only the fries had a slight advantage in the competition.

“Your progress in such a short time is astonishing.” Dussel ripped off his gentle mask, his face turning fierce. “I like geniuses like you the most.”

"Killing you before you grow up is the ultimate pleasure."

At his peak, Dussel was a ninth-tier master of spatial magic. His masterful use of spatial magic alone could easily dismantle the vast majority of attacks.

Uh... peak?

Jiang Heyi couldn't help but glance at the fries and found that she was also tilting her head and looking at her.

Why peak-era Düsseldorf!

After the battle began, Mint ignored the front lines. Renee crouched down, clutching her head, her head throbbing with pain that had only recently begun to ease.

"Wake up, sigh, wake up, you still owe me a piece of spatial magic knowledge, as we agreed during the competition."

Seeing that she was losing consciousness, Mint didn't care anymore, pinched Renee's face, and slapped her hard on both sides.
