Chapter 602 The Real World

"I can see that you are different from them. You will eventually become my companion."

Although he was being stared at with malicious eyes by three fourth-level nightmares of the same level, Madness Desius completely ignored them as if they were air, and the upper body of the elf only spoke to Avis.

"Want to see, wake up early from the dream, and see the true face of this world?"

As he spoke, as if he suddenly thought of something, the dark green crown of Theseus shook and he gave an additional explanation.

"Don't worry about anything. You are different from me. After seeing the reality of the world, you are free to return to your fantasy."

The true face of the world? Looking at the pair of pure dark green eyes of Theseus, Avis hesitated.

The first time he met Theseus, he was in the identity of Darkness Tithis. But now Theseus went straight to him without even looking at Tithis, which showed that the other party's target was him all along.

“How are you going to make me see the truth of the world?”

"It's simple. Just cover your eyes with this leaf and let it melt into your gaze."

Theseus shook the tree, and a strange dark green oval leaf fell from the crown and fell into Avis's hands.

"You don't really believe what he said, do you, Lord Anvis? He is the embodiment of madness, a being that embodies the madness of the entire inheritance land.

You see, no madman thinks he is mad, he thinks the whole world is mad and he is the only one who is sane!"

However, before Avis could make any move, the Black Abyss of Despair spoke very rudely and refuted Theseus.

He had long disliked this crazy guy. Every time his plan failed, it was almost always because of this guy's mistakes.

"I also think that if you just believe what Theseus says, it may be very risky."

"Well, I have a suggestion. Before you try the method provided by Theseus, you can try to make him our companion as well. How about you make sure there is no risk before trying it?"

On the side, Lustful Lilith also spoke up and proposed a safer plan.

"Well, Theseus, what do you say?"

After listening to the advice of the two nightmare spirits, Avis looked back at the half-tree, half-elf creature in front of him with a strange style.

"If you insist, then I have no objection."

Looking at Anvis' face calmly, Theseus nodded slightly.

So, like the other four nightmares, Anvis signed a contract with him and planted the seeds of distortion. After all this was over, Theseus' attitude did not change.

Seeing this, Avis was relieved. But when he put the leaf in front of him, Theseus suddenly spoke.

"Before you truly wake up, you must understand one fact: we live in a crazy dream, and those who wake up have no friends."

As Avis was thinking about what Theseus meant, the black leaves melted before his eyes and then turned into black liquid that flowed into his eyes.

This phenomenon represented that some kind of characteristic belonging to Theseus had invaded his body, and as a result, the face of the entire world gradually began to change before his eyes.

The main body of this small world is still dark, but there is some dark red aura. Its size is extremely huge, and it is floating in this world like a ribbon.

At this moment, a dark red aura 'ribbon' was slowly sweeping towards them like a huge oncoming mountain.

Avis frowned, wanting to see Howsius would react to this, but suddenly realized that the other party's form had changed at this moment.

Originally, there was no gender feature on the upper body of the elf of Theseus, but in his current sight, Theseus had turned into an elf girl holding a strange dark green branch and with long curly hair as bright as the sun.

But for some reason, Avis always felt that Theseus's face looked familiar.

"...Antinoya?"

After a moment, Avis finally remembered the source of this familiar feeling. It was the elf girl named Antinoya whom he had seen from the perspective of a bystander in the underground ruins city.

In Claire's memory, he had seen Antinoya's face, with golden hair like the sun, and blue eyes like a snowy lake.

"Antinoya? This name seems familiar. Is she the owner of this branch?"

Looking at the huge red gas stream sweeping over with an expressionless face, Theseus seemed to think for a moment before answering.

Unlike the neutral voice before, his, or rather her voice now, was exactly the same as Antinoya in Avis' memory.

"My appearance is because of this branch... Ever since I got this branch, my appearance has become like this."

As he spoke, Theseus shook the dark green branch in his hand, and a spherical vacuum zone suddenly formed nearby, wrapping the two of them inside and blocking the red fog outside.

In the eyes of the other three nightmare spirits, the crown of the Madness Desius suddenly shook on its own.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But he often does some incomprehensible things, and the other three nightmare spirits are used to it.

"What would happen if I were touched by this fog?"

Avis' tone was somewhat curious as he looked at the world around him.

In his eyes, the appearances of the other three nightmares also changed.

The Lustful Lilith turned into a swirling pink mist. In the center of the mist was a shape similar to two nested hearts of different sizes, with two glowing pink patterns with curved vine lines extending from the outer circle.

The Black Abyss of Despair turned into a huge black bubble wrapped in countless bones. The empty eye sockets of those bones were looking at him, while the Darkness of Tithis was completely black.

"They will affect your consciousness and make you even crazier. But for those who live in dreams, they may not be aware of them at all."

Theseus' voice came slowly, but with a hint of surprise.

"Your contract method seems to be very special. After being contracted by you, they still don't attack you instinctively even in the real world."

After hearing what Theseus said, Avis looked at the three nightmare spirits again.

At this moment, seemingly because the distance was too close, the surfaces of the bodies of the three were emitting their own characteristics.

They were like tentacles and smoke, ready to attack Theseus's protective barrier, but they deliberately avoided the area where Avis was.

There was no explanation, but Avis knew in his heart that it was most likely not the restriction of the contract he signed, but the effect of the [Seed of Distortion].

Even now, he still couldn't see through the essence of "The Secret Book of the Old Days". He only knew that it seemed to be a collection of poems left by a super powerful person who had briefly transcended time.

And, Anvis suddenly had an idea.

In the real world, what would he and the Secret Book of the Old Days look like? Thinking of this, Avis waved his hand and condensed a magic mirror in front of him.

There shouldn't be any danger, otherwise the little white mouse Theseus, who had looked directly at the old secret book more than once, would have died long ago.

This is yesterday, and there is also Gu today      (end of this chapter)
