The Land of the White Moon, the tree house, dancing or the person he loves are all the dreams Bart once had.
Ten years ago and ten years later, in reality and in dreams, Sigourney and Ash both realized this at the same time.
Bart couldn't do it himself, so he placed all his hopes on the "elf".
Ten years ago and ten years later, in reality and in dreams, the elf gently agreed to his request.
I promised him twice.
"The last words you heard were distorted words made up by the devil."
Sigourney told Ash that demons were born in the abyss and often descended upon Iluv as projections, moving in the inner world of people. When they descended, they only lingered on the outer layer of the heart and could not threaten the host. But once there was a flaw in the host's heart, the demons would take advantage of it and turn the host into their slave.
The devil just now must have signed a contract with Rachel.
Rachel promised it benefits - such as the soul of the human being that the devil loved most. And after his death, it became the deepest trap hidden in the forest.
"The devil was targeting me," said Sigourney.
It was probably projected onto him when he was not paying attention when he entered the glorious magic circle.
But at the moment it was projected, Ash happened to exchange bodies with him.
So, by accident, it actually entered into Ash's inner world.
As for why it didn't realize it had found the wrong target, its angry roar just now revealed a clue - in the eyes of the devil, Ash and Sigourney have exactly the same aura.
Why did it target Sigourney among so many people? Ash thought about it and got the answer.
Maybe it was because Signy was the most powerful one. Or maybe it was because...it recognized Signy as the elf that escaped that year.
"Sigourney, do you know that devil?" Ash asked.
The devil obviously knew Sigourney's past very well, so he could fabricate such a realistic "dream".
"I don't recognize it." Sigourney recalled and said slowly, "But I know it."
There is no contradiction between not knowing and knowing.
Ten years ago, from the time he was imprisoned in Rachel's wizard tower until he managed to escape, he had never seen or heard of the existence of demons in the wizard tower. But now thinking back, during the time he was imprisoned, he often felt that there were eyes secretly watching him.
At the time, he thought it was a surveillance arranged by Rachel. Now thinking about it, the spying sight at that time should have been this devil.
It watched everything that happened in the tower, observed the more than a month that Bart spent with him, watched Bart from birth to death, and knew every word they said at that time.
So when it discovered that the elf that had escaped had once again set foot in the Crystal Forest, it happily used this past to make up a "dream", completely replicating the scene of just over a month, trying to let the elf relive the scene of its friend's death.
In order to make it more realistic, it did not make many changes in the dream.
Only at the end did he cunningly fabricate Barth's words, doing it so perfectly that there was no trace left.
Once again facing the death of a friend, listening to his sad sigh of "give up", under the devil's bewitching gift, even a person with a strong will would find it difficult not to be dazed for a moment.
What the devil wanted was this moment of trance - a moment of mental weakness so that it could take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and control and enslave Sigourney.
With this powerful guy under control, there is nothing to fear from other people in the forest.
Its intention is excellent.
But what it never expected was that it found the wrong person from the beginning.
Therefore, even if it made up the dream with real feelings, Ash had never experienced it before, so naturally he had no sense of empathy at all.
What it didn't expect was that the person it had found didn't play by the rules at all, had no negative emotions at all, and even when he was sad, it only made his beliefs more firm and unwavering.
First, by accident, I chose the wrong person.
Then I continued to confuse the objects due to face blindness.
Then, he had the bad luck of "meeting the wrong person".
Finally failed.
It's not unfair.
Thinking of the devil who was tortured by Ash to the point of self-doubt, Sigourney couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. The heavy mood caused by thinking of Bart also dissipated a little.
He raised his hand and ruffled Ash's soft hair, "You did a great job."
Instead of being shaken by the devil, I shook the devil.
One can imagine how the devil must have been incredulous and frustrated when he found out in the end that everything was of no use at all.
It was because the devil was furious that he found an opportunity to break into the consciousness space constructed by the devil and find Ash.
Ash rubbed his nose shyly after being praised: "I didn't do anything."
If Sigourney hadn't explained it to him, he probably wouldn't have known until now how much damage he had done to the devil.
Sigourney shook her head slightly and said that Ash did a good job, not only that Ash had traumatized the devil.
But he didn't go on.
Instead, he looked at the bright light entwined around him and asked, "Is this your spiritual world?"
Ash nodded, finally reacting, "Huh?! How did you get in here, Sigourney?"
"Contract." Sigourney looked down at her left arm. "The devil can't tell our auras apart. Maybe that's why."
"Contract?" Ash was stunned. Although he had known for a long time that their contract had changed since Sigourney sucked his blood, it was precisely because of these changes that they decided to go to Rachel's wizard tower to find out the nature of the contract. But... the contract has more and more additional functions, right?
And... getting closer?
When he came to his senses, his eyes lit up: "Then I can go too--"
Before he could finish his words, Sigourney, who understood his intentions, rejected him flatly: "No."
Ash, who wanted to see Sigourney’s spiritual world: “…” Lost.
"For a low-level wizard to enter the spiritual world of a high-level wizard is to seek death." Sigourney poked Ash's forehead with her finger and threatened, "You will be strangled to pieces by my spiritual world."
Ash pursed his lips and whispered, "Lie."
“…” A difficult guy.
A little too sensitive.
At times like this, I feel that Ash's damn perception talent is particularly annoying.
Sigourney pressed her forehead, her face darkening, "Who is lying? It's generally like this. Our contract may be an exception—" He looked at Ash's eyes that lit up again and sneered, "It's just maybe, not necessarily an exception. With such uncertainty, who would accompany you to make such a life-threatening and meaningless attempt?"
Ash murmured another "oh".
He looked at Sigourney's angry face and curled his eyes secretly.
The vampire, whose emotions were suppressed by the reminder of past memories, finally regained some spirit.
But... I still really want to go to Sigourney's spiritual world.
It's not a meaningless attempt.
