1061 Whose Dream (2/2)

She saw that her dream was like a huge bubble that grew out from the island of consciousness while silently enveloping it.

The ”air bubble” was surrounded by a gray fog. From afar, she could vaguely see other ”air bubbles,” and below them were their corresponding islands of consciousness.

Deep within the gray fog was a silent, undulating, shimmering ”wavy” illusory sea that seemed bottomless.

The sea of collective subconscious... This is the scene of a mind world for a Dreamwalker... Only from Manipulator onwards is one really able to interfere with the sea of collective subconscious... Audrey nodded in enlightenment and retracted her gaze. Without staying any longer, she forcefully escaped from her dream.

Her vision returned to normal immediately as it remained pitch-black outside. Only the street lamps around the garden were emitting light.

She then cast her gaze on the full-body mirror in her bedroom. She felt that she didn't seem too different from before. Only when she observed carefully did she realize that her pair of green eyes were becoming more limpid and deeper, as though they could reflect the souls of others.

Closing her eyes and taking in the knowledge brought by the potion, Audrey quickly grasped the core power of Dreamwalker.

By guiding and controlling a dream, she could obtain information and affect the enemy.

There were two aspects:

First was ”Guidance,” which was similar to Nightmare of the Evernight pathway, by using the different changes in a dream to guide a target into revealing one's deepest secrets. The difference was that a Nightmare could forcefully pull a person into a dream. However, Dreamwalkers weren't capable of doing so unless they were combined with ”Hypnosis.”

The second was ”Alteration.” By modifying a target's dream, one could influence a target over a long period of time, changing them and making them do things they wouldn't usually do without them realizing it. The principle behind such an ”Alteration,” used a dream as the incisive points and the Astral Projection as a point of leverage, slowing contaminating the target's Soul Body before affecting the Body of Heart and Mind, planting it deep in the subconscious. Compared to directly using Hypnosis, a control that stemmed from dreams was more mild and furtive, making it difficult to be noticed and suitable for targeting targets at a higher level.

From the looks of it, most matters that involve love at first sight might've had a few hidden cases that were a result of Dream Alteration... Yes, amongst many popular best-selling novels, the female lead often dreams of a figure and spends a beautiful, romantic time with him. Therefore, when they encounter the male lead who's similar to the figure in their dreams, they will quickly succumb to them and have a strong penchant for love. Hmm... Audrey recalled the novels she read in the past and suddenly found it amusing.

To her, be it ”Guidance” or ”Alteration,” they weren't an essential enhancement over Hypnosis. Instead, there was another Beyonder power that she liked even more; it was ”Dream Traversal.”

This made her body turn incorporeal as if she was an elf in a dream or a Dreamwalker. Not only could she directly hide in someone else's dream, but she could also jump from a dream to another dream, completing a ”Blink” in the physical sense.

The restriction of such traversals was that the distance between two dreams couldn't exceed 500 meters, and they had to belong to intelligent creatures.

In special environments, this can effectively hide myself... Hmm, why didn't Hvin Rambis directly affect me through ”Dream Alteration”? Because this place is protected by the Church? The Evernight pathway is also skilled in the domain of dreams... Audrey thought as she began converging her spirituality.

In the ancient palace above the fog.

Along the long bronze table, Klein sat a few seats diagonally across from Leonard.

”Why are you suddenly looking for me?” Leonard leaned back in his chair and asked lazily.

Regardless, he still remembered that this place belonged to Mr. Fool, so he didn't dare appear too casual.

Klein glanced at him and said, ”I need your help with something.”

You need my help?” Leonard pointed at himself and asked in surprise, ”Are you referring to Pallez?”

He didn't think he could help a demigod like Klein.

”You have a very clear understanding of yourself,” Klein tsked. ”However, I'm really looking for you this time. It mainly involves a few dreams.”

Dreams... Leonard came to a realization as he said with a hint of puzzlement and laughter, ”Klein, you seem to have changed a little. I mean, you've become more like the past, no longer wearing that gloomy expression.”

Without waiting for a reply, he straightened his disheveled hair and smiled.

”That's a good thing. Well, I'm still quite good at dreams. Who do the dreams belong to?”

Without batting an eyelid, Klein replied, ”A Loen soldier from more than a hundred years ago, a Fourth Epoch aristocrat, an ascetic from the Third Epoch, and an elf and giant from the Second Epoch.”

”What?” Leonard asked with his green eyes wearing a blank look, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

Ignoring the elves and giants from the Second Epoch, even the nobles of the Fourth Epoch had to be from particular Beyonder pathways and to have become saints before they could survive to this day!

It can't be that they're all angels aside from that Loen soldier, right? Entering the dream of angels... I think it's better to find Old Man... Leonard's thoughts churned instantly as though he was in a dream.
