Because of her pretty appearance, she was brought into the City Lord's Mansion and worked as a servant to serve guests.

She is twenty years old now.

As long as I can remember, I have been busy, flattering, and working hard for food, drink, and survival.

Thinking back carefully now, it seems that there were no good times in her short memory of more than ten years.

I don’t even know what “happiness” is.

Until now!

Walking quickly in the familiar 'corridor', a smile appeared unconsciously on Allen's face.

'What is happiness?'

'You don't need to worry about food and drink, you don't need to worry about being bullied or exploited by others, you have endless delicacies from the mountains and the sea to enjoy, you can have water to drink when you are thirsty, soft bedding to spread out when you are sleepy, and even handsome boys to play and frolic with.'

"This is a magical wonderland!"

"If you enter the fairyland, you can have an unfading beauty, live forever, and enjoy the prosperity of the world to your heart's content."

An ethereal voice sounded from the front: "Come in here, and the sufferings of the mortal world will be completely gone, leaving only endless enjoyment."

“Wow…”

At the end of the passage is a water curtain.

Allen quickened his pace, letting the water wash over his body, and walked into a hall.

The coarse linen clothes on her body had turned into soft silk at some point, white and smooth.

The calluses on the hands and the dirt under the feet have disappeared, and the skin on the body is as smooth as that of a newborn baby.

The ground beneath your feet is paved with gold and jade, the walls on both sides are dotted with pearls, the stream not far away is flowing with fine wine, and the fruits on the trees are soft bread and delicious desserts...

The sky is blue and the air is fresh.

There are soft beds to lie on everywhere, and you can just reach out and pick the dates that were out of reach in the past.

"Ellen!"

Several handsome young men came over quickly:

"You're here, come quickly, we found a suitable place to play hide and seek in the back hall, and you are the only one missing."

"Hehe..." Allen smiled and approached, holding the young man's hand and running towards the back hall, his body leaping and full of joy.

A palm-sized transparent squid fell from behind her, waving its tentacles covered with eyes and serrated teeth, thinking: "Fairyland?"

"Is this to create a dream and then pull all the sleeping people in the City of Death here?"

"That's a good trick!"

He also has the ability to create illusions with his mental power, and even set up a soul cage outside the fragments of the divine domain.

But there is no way to make the illusion seem real, let alone accommodate so many people.

"Nightmare!"

"No wonder Meivia can't do anything with it. This thing hides in other people's dreams. If you don't find its true form, you'll never be able to kill it!"

Carl muttered a few words quietly, then waved his tentacles, pierced into the ground, and extended like tree roots.

His tentacles expanded outward with the hall as the core, connecting all the people who entered the dream.

"Seven hundred and sixteen!"

'Seventeen palaces, more than two thousand illusion servants, and more than seven hundred people can sleep in dreams. This guy's mental strength is probably more than forty!'

Carl muttered in his heart, and his tentacles moved quickly: "A superior subordinate?"

'What a loss!'

If a high-ranking relative who specializes in dreams is not careful, even he may not be able to escape unscathed.

If I had known this, I would definitely not agree to Meivia's request.

"who?"

suddenly.

A cold voice sounded beside Carl's ear, and a feeling like needles pricking his heart rose up.

"Um!"

Carl groaned and his tentacles trembled violently.

moment.

The ground in the 'Fairyland' was shaking, and the hundreds of people having fun inside couldn't help but stop what they were doing, with panic on their faces.

"court death!"

In a flash, Barn suddenly appeared in front of Carl and raised his hand to activate a spell.

"Bane?"

Karl's heart trembled, and then he came to his senses.

The nightmare demon simply uses his own scattered thought waves to intercept a person who fears him.

It was impossible for Barn to come back alive, but the nightmare used his appearance to attack him.

Shocking stab! "Bang!"

A big hole appeared on Carl's squid head on the spot, blood splattered, and the severe pain made him unable to control himself.

Fortunately, Carl has a special physique. Even if his head explodes, he will not die in a short time, not to mention that it is just a hole.

"Wake up!"

With a loud roar, the tentacles danced wildly.

“Boom…”

Instantly the entire "fairyland" shook violently, and the sleeping people were startled by the loud noise and woke up one after another.

Without the dreamer, the dream immediately becomes less real.

"stop!"

Dozens of 'blades' cut into Carl's tentacles, causing him to lose contact with the people in his dream.

As a result, although most people were awakened, there were still many people who remained in the dream.

"snort!"

The Nightmare snorted coldly, flicked his ten fingers, and shot out shocking thorns that attacked the mind and soul. He said disdainfully: "Are you the helper that Meivia invited?"

“It’s no use!”

"As long as there are still people dreaming, I can leave at any time, and you will never be able to catch me."

"Hmm..." Carl waved his tentacles to intercept the attack, and he became less anxious: "It turns out that he is just a middle-level follower. The reason why the dream is real is that you borrowed the energy of the dreamer."

“No wonder!”

"But dreams are always dreams, and there will always be a day when you wake up."

"Haha..." The nightmare demon laughed: "Stupid!"

"The real world is full of cruelty. Even gods have troubles. Only dreams can create a perfect world."

"Mevia accuses me of creating illusions and giving people unrealistic fantasies, but doesn't think about the shortcomings of the real world?"

"The wonderland I created can not only satisfy their imagination of a better life, but also increase my strength. What's wrong with that?"

"What's the point of saying all this?" Carl dodged and pounced forward. The shadow of Buddha emerged and pressed down.

Ten thousand Buddhas’ hands—Bodhi seal!

Bodhi is wisdom that can see through all illusions and is perfect for dealing with those who stir up trouble in dreams.

"Bang!"

The palm print shattered a side hall, but the nightmare demon's figure had disappeared.

"It's no use."

The nightmare appeared above the hall not far away: "As long as there are still people dreaming, I can go into anyone's dream and I will never die."

"Then stop dreaming!" Carl snorted coldly. The shadow of the Buddha behind him rose into the air, revealing the appearance of a furious Vajra, and roared:

"wake up!"

"wake up!"

“…”

The huge King Kong head filled the entire dream, and the aura of fear made the dreamer wake up suddenly.

But there are still twenty or thirty people who, although trembling with fear, are still unwilling to wake up from their dreams.

"My body in the real world has been suffering from illness for decades. Even if I die, I want to die here."

"I know this is a dream, but so what? As an ordinary person, I can only dream here, which can never be realized in the outside world."

"From the time I was born till now, I have been a laborer and a slave all my life. I don't want to go on like this anymore. Just let me die here!"

“…”

"Great Lord of Dreams, I am willing to give you everything I have, just to be able to live here forever."

"Haha..." The Dream Demon laughed: "See!"

"No matter how strong you are, you can't satisfy people's desires. This is the eternal flaw of the real world."

"Um?"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

But in the 'fairyland', one person after another fell to the ground and shattered like bubbles.

This is……

The dreamer's physical body in the real world died!

* * * City of Death.

Meivia stood in mid-air, looking at the crowd below with his bright eyes.

Thousands of Death Knights knocked on doors and pushed open houses to check. If they found someone sleeping, they would chop off their head with a single blow.

"The real world is cruel, but it is unavoidable. Even someone like me has to struggle to survive..."

"There's no use running away!"
