Not someone from a dream?
Qin Ze was completely confused.
Miss Sword Case then explained, "There can only be one subject in a dream, which is the person dreaming."
"They weren't created by a dream; I can't sense any creative element in them."
Qin Ze frowned. "They invaded my dream?"
This dream was created by Miss Sword Case's Daydream Seed and is protected by Miss Sword Case's power.
Can Zi Yue and the others break through Miss Sword Case's power?
The village's soul power had long since ceased to flow, and the Spirit Energy Tower, like everyone present, was swallowed by the night.
Miss Sword Case said in a deep voice, "That's what I thought at first too, but this is a dream we control."
"I just need to find the medium through which they connect to this dream, sever it, and then I can kick them out."
But... I couldn't find it.
Qin Ze suddenly realized that this was the reason why Miss Sword Case had said something was amiss.
"So, according to you, we are all subjects, all dreamers?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "That's right, you're having the same dream."
As the Ancient Greece god of dreams, Miss Sword Case had never encountered anything like this before.
Qin Ze looked at the Spirit Energy Tower so close at hand. "It's the tower that connects everyone's dreams."
The power overflowing from the Dream God within the tower also includes the power of the Spirit Energy Tower itself.
Dusk marks the boundary, separating not only the Dream God of the forest and village, but also the Spirit Energy Tower.
Qin Ze caught in a pincer movement between Zi Liangchen and the girls, and also faced a menacing unknown figure emerging from the forest.
The girl with red eyes shrugged at Zi Liangchen: "The tower guard is here, you can talk to him."
"I..."
Qin Ze was about to say, "We can go in together," but before he could utter a single word, the space around him began to collapse rapidly.
Zi Liangchen's eyes were filled with silver-white light, a symbol of spatial power.
Seeing this, the red-eyed girl also activated her ability, and the shadow behind Qin Ze suddenly stood up from the ground, locking him tightly.
" Whisper of the Wind."
Zi Yue murmured, and a bow made of vines and leaves appeared in her hand.
Her slender fingers slowly drew back the bowstring, and a green arrow materialized on the string.
Qin Ze's face darkened.
"Is everyone alright? Why are you focusing your fire on me?"
The clones gloated, "Who would have thought you'd end up like this?"
"You don't look like a good person at all, who else should I hit if not you?"
"That's hilarious, Qin Dog got fired as the BOSS."
I want to open one too!
"Shall we go over there and lend a hand?"
"..."
whoosh--
A green arrow pierced the sky, shooting towards Qin Ze's chest.
Qin Ze clearly sensed that the arrow was enchanted; even in his ghost form, it could still harm spirits.
This girl is so ruthless!
Just as Qin Ze was about to retaliate, all the attacks around him suddenly disappeared.
It was as if an unseen wind blew by, taking everything away.
Miss Sword Case pointed towards the Spirit Energy Tower: "It's something over there helping you."
Qin Ze muttered to himself, " Spirit Energy Tower."
Miss Sword Case was so anxious she was practically scratching her head. "Tower? Where is the tower? I can't see anything!"
Zi Liangchen and the two girls looked shocked.
They thought that was Qin Ze's power just now.
The tower defender's strength was terrifyingly high.
Qin Ze raised his hands and pressed them down. "Everyone, I think we can start by..."
boom--
Before he could finish speaking, the forest behind him suddenly exploded.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
A demonic claw, tens of meters tall, burst forth from the forest and reached straight for the Spirit Energy Tower.
A dreamlike voice rang in Qin Ze's ears. "Protect the tower, dawn is about to break..."
Dream God?!
Bang--
When it was still dozens of steps away from the Spirit Energy Tower, the demon's claws were stopped by an invisible barrier.
The shockwave, accompanied by a deafening Sonic Boom, swept across the area, hurling the two girls, Zi Liangchen, and the unconscious Red-Eyed Brother high into the sky like plastic bags.
Only Qin Ze stood motionless, like a mountain.
The demon's claws clenched into fists and relentlessly pounded against the barrier.
The nauseating odor it emitted sent a shiver down Qin Ze's spine.
"Evil god!"
What's going on?
Is an evil god attacking another evil god?
The dreamlike voice spoke again in Qin Ze's ear, "The power of the evil god is projecting onto this world... Quickly find the projection channel... Stop the evil god's resurgence..."
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Are you the Dream God?"
The voice replied, "That is indeed how the creatures of this world are called."
This has left Qin Ze completely bewildered.
Is one evil god preventing another from invading?
Qin Ze suddenly shuddered.
Unless... the Dream God isn't an evil god at all.
"Are you a true god?"
Qin Ze's question went unanswered.
The power of the Dream God seems to be weakening, and the Demon Claws are getting closer and closer to the Spirit Energy Tower.
"Ready to go."
Qin Ze watched as the demonic claws, which were relentlessly ramming against the Spirit Energy Tower, soared into the sky.
The red gem shimmered and shone, adding a layer of enhancement to him.
Bang--
Qin Ze slammed his Sword Case onto the back of Demon Claw's fist, slamming the massive fist directly into the ground.
Seeing this, Zi Yue, who had just landed some distance away, murmured, "Isn't he a sword cultivator?"
The girl had never seen a swordsman carrying Sword Case who didn't use a sword, but instead used the Sword Case as a weapon.
Bang bang bang bang--
Miss Sword Case bombarded the area relentlessly, and the Demon's Claw gradually shrank.
Zi Liangchen said to his younger sister, "Help the tower keeper; the Spirit Energy Tower cannot be allowed to have any accidents."
As he finished speaking, a silver light appeared in his eyes, and the space around the demon's claw began to compress.
Upon seeing this, the girl immediately sent a blessing to her brother, and after hesitating for a moment, she also sent one to Qin Ze.
With Qin Ze suppressing it, the Demon Claw couldn't lift its head at all, and was squeezed flat like a block of tofu.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the sky and the forest, turning the three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane, as if it could shatter at any moment.
One by one, the eyes on the trees disappeared, and the raging forest gradually returned to calm.
The demon claw beneath Qin Ze was folded down to just a black dot.
He looked up at the Spirit Energy Tower.
The once-real tower is gradually becoming an illusion.
Miss Sword Case Box said, "The dream is about to end."
Qin Ze hoisted the Miss Sword Case onto his shoulder with one hand and faced Zi Yue and the others, saying, "Tonight, I will still be here waiting for you."
The Zi Yue Squad felt a strong sense of pressure from Qin Ze, the "tower keeper".
Qin Ze turned to face the Spirit Lighthouse, his tall figure disappearing along with the tower.
Zi Liangchen sighed, "Another night has been wasted."
The dream ended, and everyone woke up.
Qin Ze opened his eyes and found himself under the same tree where he had dreamt the night before.
A gray hare that had approached him saw Qin Ze's eyes move and immediately wiggled its rump and ran away.
The babbling brook, the melodious birdsong—the forest is coming back to life.
Daylight broke.
This scene is so jarring compared to what happened last night.
Qin Ze asked Miss Sword Case uncertainly, "Am I awake?"
