The scorching shock wave formed by pure light and heat rose up, sweeping away everything in the dream world.
Even the illusion itself became shaky. Alina's pretty face turned pale, without a trace of blood left. She concentrated all her energy and barely suppressed the trend of the illusion's collapse.
Although in the dream world, as the master of the nightmare butterfly, she can theoretically be said to be omnipotent like the creator.
However, this skill is by no means truly perfect.
There was once a master of pet theory who put forward such a view: "There are no useless pets, only useless pet masters."
Although this master of theory was stuck at the second level for his entire life and died in depression, and most of his theories were proven by later generations to be pure nonsense and poisonous chicken soup——
A pet of a higher race can beat up a pet of a lower race. If you don't believe me, why don't you let an awakened Pidgeot challenge an emperor-level red dragon cub?
However, there is one point in his theory that is still worth considering, which is that no matter how powerful a pet is, it will inevitably have flaws and shortcomings.
At least considering Anlina's current level as a mid-level beastmaster, her nightmare butterfly is far from invincible.
...
...
Although the dream world is extremely evil, the nightmare images simulated in it will also consume Alina's own mental power.
Especially when the existence form and composition principle of the materialized illusion are completely incomprehensible to Alina, the speed at which her mental energy is consumed will be greatly accelerated.
Just this period of time has already caused Anlina's spirit to show signs of drying up.
"But this is your last struggle."
Alina's face turned pale as she stared at Char in the distance with his hands in his pockets.
Although there seemed to be no change in the other party's expression.
However, to be able to imagine such a complex illusion that was completely incomprehensible to her, the other party's mental energy must have been extremely consumed, and he was just holding on at the moment.
For a beastmaster whose foundation is the soul, once his mental power is exhausted, he is basically no different from a lamb to be slaughtered.
As long as he persists for a while longer, he can consume the last of his opponent's mental strength.
Then, it will be time to taste the other person's soul.
Thinking of this, Anlina's already pale face became even more flushed.
Being in a mental illusion, she could already vaguely sense the other person's soul fluctuations.
So clear, so pure, with an unfathomable depth and mystery. If the other prey she had hunted in the past were home-cooked dishes, then the feeling Char at this moment gave her was like the most extraordinary delicacies at a state banquet, emitting an alluring aroma all the time.
This is only natural.
The quality of the soul of a talented beastmaster from the Saint Laurent Academy in the imperial capital must be incomparable to those apprentice beastmasters in the countryside.
Perhaps after devouring the opponent completely, his nightmare butterfly will have the opportunity to evolve again.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Alina saw that the flickering and distorted illusions began to become gradually clearer.
It was a magnificent city composed of buildings. For some reason, Alina felt that the illusion of this city looked familiar.
It seemed to be the imperial capital she had visited when she was a child.
But why would such a thing appear in my dreamland?
Alina's face showed some doubt and surprise. The illusions embodied in the dreamland should be the most feared and powerful things in the other party's heart.
Based on her past experience of launching "Remnant Dream", the nightmare images generated by those who were hit were basically either various evil dragons of different races with different scale colors, or the notorious kings of strange beasts such as the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, the Abyss Giant, and the Ancient Star Beast.
She could barely guess the origin of Char's initial illusion. Perhaps it was some newly developed one-time self-destructive mechanical pet by those guys from the Steam School in the Knowledge City.
But the illusion of the city in front of her made Anlina completely confused. Who would be afraid of a city?
At the next moment, the illusion of the city suddenly began to change.
The perspective of the illusion was suddenly stretched further away, and the originally magnificent city suddenly shrank. From the towering city that originally occupied half of the illusion space, it now only became an invisible dot.
Instead, there was an ochre-colored plain that looked like a map, with cities and scattered kingdoms of all sizes standing in the middle of it, like small models.
Is this a map of the continent? Anlina's pupils shrank slightly, but the illusion did not stop changing.
The perspective is constantly zooming out.
Soon, a blue sphere appeared in front of Alina, most of which was occupied by sea blue, and the previous khaki plain was just a few dotted blocks of color.
And in the distance of the blue planet, a much larger scorching sphere was burning against the void and dark background.
Anlina's pupils contracted again.
Although she was only a lord of the lowest rank, she was, after all, a hereditary noble of the empire, with connections and sources of information that ordinary people could not match.
The scene before her reminded her of a rumor that had spread from the Knowledge City a few months ago. It was only circulated in a small circle of aristocrats, but had already caused an uproar in the academic world.
The earth we stand on may not be a flat surface, but a huge sphere.
And the whole world does not revolve around our planet, but around the scorching sun.
It was clearly just a few words of rumor, but he understood it so clearly that he could even imagine the exact picture.
Could it be that he is related to the City of Knowledge and the School of Steam?
Before he had time to think carefully about Char's origins, it was almost the next breath.
Anlina saw in confusion that the originally huge sun had shrunk again.
Soon, the scorching sun that originally covered the sky turned into a tiny speck of light as tiny as dust, emitting faint light.
And beside it, there are tens of millions of similar light spots, flowing slowly in the dark curtain.
Suddenly, a huge hand stretched out from the void and grabbed the starry world made up of billions of light points.
Then, it gently fell onto a chessboard.
And around the chessboard, there are countless similar chess pieces made from the entire sea of stars in the universe.
puff--
Anlina's face showed horror and blood spurted out of her mouth.
The entire illusion could no longer be maintained and collapsed into pieces in an instant.
"You can't hold on any longer? There are still a lot of boxes left to stack."
Looking at the illusion around him that had turned into countless crystal fragments, Char sighed with a sense of regret.
If the other party could still hold on, he would have already thought of the follow-up -
This universe containing countless stars is nothing more than a small thousand world. Three thousand small worlds make up a middle thousand world, and three thousand middle thousand worlds make up a large thousand world. Only large thousand worlds as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges can constitute infinite pure lands.
If you want to make a time traveler feel afraid, then it has to be someone like the Lord of the Infinite Pure Land, right?
However, for a minor noble living in a border city, continents and planets are the limits of her imagination.
Therefore, the opponent was defeated quite easily, and Char's efforts were in vain.
The illusion dissipated, and the ceiling of the manor and the dim sky outside the window reappeared.
Not far away.
Alina collapsed on the ground, her mental strength drained, and she and the pitch-black butterfly that fell to the ground beside her revealed an Ahegao-like expression.
