Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 110, Section 047: Dream Returns
Aoyagi stepped forward: "The best way to deal with pupil techniques is, of course, to destroy your eyes."

He picked up a mollusk in his hand and said, "A freshwater hydra that stores jealousy toxins would be perfect."

The hydra had no eyes, its body resembled that of a squid but was smaller and more slender. It was completely transparent, with red blood vessels clearly visible in its crystalline body.

Arrogance did not respond, but instead drew his short curved blade and flashed in front of Aoyagi.

"Jealousy tried to use its power to seal it away, but instead it was poisoned by it and completely blinded itself."

Aoyuki was torn to pieces in the flash of the blade, but still let out a carefree laugh: "It's no use. You're just like Laziness in this dream, in this space, there's nothing you can do, no one you can think about, just loneliness until your spirit completely collapses."

His voice stopped abruptly, and he took a step back, as if sinking into water, his body withdrawing from the dream.

Arrogance remained, lingering in place, brows slightly furrowed.

Blindness did not have much of an impact on her; years of keeping her eyes closed had made her senses more acute.

She gazed at it for a long time, but still couldn't find the exit from the dream.

A giant sloth in a daze, its chaotic dream containing nothing.

To break this deadlock, we must first awaken this lazy beast.

However, it was clear that he did not possess this ability in the dream world.

……

Greed immediately sensed something was wrong, and all the puppet beasts regained their strength and stood up.

This is troublesome.

He frowned, and when he turned around, he found that Qingliu had already sat up, touching his hat.

A short, arrogant blade is planted in his heart.

Aoyagi drew his knife and smiled at Greed: "Your turn."

"Tch." Greedy stared at him, a provocative smile on his face: "Try it if you dare."

"Before that, I should take care of her first."

Qingliu stretched out his palm, and a cloud of blood mist condensed before his eyes.

"You dare!" Greedy's eyes were bloodshot as he strode towards the stage.

The wrathful Vajra and the menacing giant python behind him immediately launched an attack on Greed, chasing after his back as if eager to strike.

"Get out of my way!" He turned around and glared, his sweeping leg striking the giant ape's fist, sending the entire beast flying. Meanwhile, the python seized the opportunity to coil around the man's arm from the side, its neck being grabbed and its head twisted into the ground.

But by then it was too late to save Pride.

"Arrogance!" Greed roared, "Dare to confess here and I'll fight you to the death!"

But it was no use; the roar couldn't awaken the sloth's arrogance from its dream.

Aoyagi laughed triumphantly: "Alright, let's send our big sister to hell."

"Wait!" Greed shouted.

However, the blood mist in Qingliu's hand did not stop. As he slowly raised his hand, the blood mist began to stir restlessly like a swarm of mosquitoes.

call out--

At that moment, a blade flew from the side, spinning and scattering the blood mist in Qingliu's hand, severing his arm along with it.

"Where did this bug come from?" Aoyagi pouted impatiently, waiting for her arm to heal.

Turning around, there was another set of steps leading into the arena. The man in the haori, covered in blood, was panting heavily from the throw. The young man supporting him shouted, "Arrogance!"

"So you're lucky you didn't die?" Qingliu glanced at the jealousy high above. "Then you shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

Jealousy remained silent, their empty eyes meeting each other across the space.

After a long silence, he forced a smile and said, "Then I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Qingliu narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious.

Ryoma felt that he saw Aoyagi's solemn expression in their eye contact.

Is he actually afraid of jealousy...?

"Well, it's good that we've gathered everyone. Let's set off together," Qingliu said indifferently.

Greed shouted at Envy, "Pride is still in the illusion!"

The four wild beasts had rallied and were relentlessly attacking.

Jealousy's expression was serious, but in his haste, he had already thrown his own knife, and now he had to face the unharmed Aoyagi, which put him under immense pressure.

"It's no use. Arrogance is gone. No one has the means to kill me." Qingliu sneered.

“That’s not necessarily true,” said Greed. “To break the dream, we must start with the dreamer.”

His eyes were fixed on the sleeping giant sloth.

……

Arrogance stood silently, and there was no aura in this space except for herself; everything else was ethereal and indistinct.

The stinging in her eyes did not affect her thinking.

However, despite trying wide-range and powerful moves, I was unable to force my way out of this dream.

The difference in dimensions cannot be overcome by techniques and damage.

In the short term, I don't have a better solution.

She had wondered if this place would be the end of her life.

Whenever I think of that child, he says he carries a curse of nine lives.

It seems like it wouldn't be bad to fill the last life myself.

He spent his entire life killing, but in his final moments, he couldn't recall anything worth cherishing besides killing.

……

boom--

The explosion sent flames billowing and burning as incendiary bombs exploded on the giant sloth, completely engulfing it in flames.

Greed had no time to finish the job, and Aoyagi's arrival made things even more difficult for him.

"Wow." Qingliu looked in the direction of the sloth. The unconscious Arrogance had been diverted by jealousy, but the giant sloth, which was being doused with fire, did not react at all.

"Damn it, this guy's defense is..." Greed gritted his teeth in resentment.

"Arrogance! Arrogance!" Ryoma looked at the two streaks of crimson blood beneath Arrogance's veil, his heart aching. No matter how he called out, there was no sign of him waking. His chest filled with rage, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Arrogance—!"

……

"Crack—" A slight cracking sound reached Arrogance's ears.

Ok?
She listened attentively.

There seemed to be some movement; although the sound was faint, it kept echoing.

That was the call of the youth.

A woman's emotions are expressed through the sound of movement.

Upon hearing the sound, she stopped and looked around, a rare occurrence for her.

There are still comrades fighting desperately outside; I cannot hesitate to move forward.

someone!

Her perception relied on black magic, not sight. In a hazy world, a mottled figure in black and white slowly entered her field of vision.

“You are—” Arrogance hesitated.

The newcomer did not speak, but his build and gait suggested that he was a man.

Recently, arrogance has seen only two such complex individuals.

"A necrophiliac?"

No, there's only one.

"Still Jin Jun?"

The other person seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the pupils in the shroud instantly turned cold.

But he didn't hesitate for long. The newcomer, his face covered, said in a muffled voice, "I'll take you out."

He looked up and pointed to a spot in the space, where it was as if a huge hole had collapsed in the sky, and the roar of a dragon-horse came from the clouds: "Arrogance! You must wake up!"

"I understand." Arrogantly nodded.

The necrophiliac stretched out his hand, wrapped in dirty bandages, and said, "Give me your hand."

Arrogance boarded the ship without hesitation.

A perfectly round barrier suddenly appeared on the necromancer, repelling the sloth's dream space and radiating a dazzling light, with everything around it flowing down like liquid.

"shake--"
