Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 99 Dream Cage and the Gate of Hell

The dream cage is composed of 360 dream curses. Each of these 360 ​​dream curses is actually a perfect dream tailor-made for the forest spirit Soraya, presenting the forest spirit Soraya's difficult dreams one by one, making her addicted to them.

Li En's consciousness was dragged into a dream corridor. His legs seemed to be stuck in the mud and submerged in the sea. The oncoming feeling of suffocation made his fear rise.

Li En rubbed his fingers, and the special runes on his thumb and index finger lit up.

This is the benefit brought by the [Evil God Status], one comes from the power of faith in the Bone Forest, and the other comes from the evil god [Eye of Doom].

The leaf rune emitted a faint green light and wrapped around Li En's soul.

The one-eyed rune exuded a strong sense of malice, surrounding Li En's fingertips.

The feeling of suffocation receded like the tide, and he successfully entered the first dream of the forest spirit.

At the first light of dawn, the clouds on the horizon seemed to be caressed by a veil, revealing an orange-yellow halo.

On the sea surface, as the breeze blows, layers of delicate ripples appear, as if it is the last tenderness of the night.

In this tranquility, schools of fish swim freely underwater, and their shadows form mottled light and shadows under the refraction of sunlight.

The sun gradually rises, and golden sunlight fills the sea, like countless shining gold jumping on the waves, shining brightly.

The waves gently hit the shore, making pleasant chords, which is the purest music of the sea.

This is the first dream of the forest spirit.

It is indeed a beautiful dream.

Because in this world, any ocean is full of dangers.

In addition to the terrifying Forbidden Sea, even the relatively safe oceans explored by humans, the Dawn Sea and the Snow Sea, are full of dangers.

Therefore, such beautiful scenery is likely to only appear in dreams.

The strange thing is that in this dream, Li En did not see his loyal servant, the forest spirit Soraya.

Since entering the dream, the spirit that led Li En into this cage has completely faded away and can no longer give Li En any clues.

He was like a player who had just obtained the qualification for the internal test of a new game, searching for clues by the sea in confusion.

Fortunately, he knew something about the game. As long as he collected all of Soraya's spirits, he would be able to pass the game smoothly.

He was extremely sure of this.

So what we need to find now is Soraya's soul that has escaped into the dream world.

Perhaps because Soraya had been imprisoned in the Forest of Bones for too long, she naturally yearned for the sea and freedom.

So, she might become a fisherman, or a captain, or an island.

Li En used the super-fast speed of the Five-Star Light and Shadow Knight to run along the coastline, leaving a trail of afterimages on the beach.

After searching the endless beach for a long time, no human figures were seen.

There is no concept of time here, but it gives Li En an extremely long feeling.

He found nothing, not even a fishing boat. There was nothing but sunlight and water on the sea.

Schools of fish swimming happily in the sea are the only life here.

He suddenly realized that he might be wrong. The forest spirit was in the dream, so why must it be a human?
His eyes turned to the swimming fish.

Sure enough, the swimming fish flashed a light green light, echoing the aura on his body.

They are the spirits of Soraya scattered throughout the first dream world.

It really represents Soraya's yearning for the ocean and freedom.

It really gave Li En a headache.

There are at least eight hundred fish in the school!
How to collect them all?
I don't have a fishing net.

Is it time to start my career as a fisherman?
"Soraya, why can't you just become a mermaid? Why do you have to transform into a school of fish? You're such a troublesome servant to your master."

Li En was complaining about Soraya and suddenly remembered the master-servant agreement between the two.

Can we attract this group of fish by using the effect of the [Lord of the Forest] entry?
Li En decided to experiment, so he said to the sea level,
"Soraya, I command you to swim to your master immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tide of fish suddenly surged beneath the calm sea surface.

Li En had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Then, the school of fish created a huge wave and rushed towards Li En.

Good news, [Lord of the Forest Spirits] is indeed effective.

The bad news is that the tsunami caused by the school of fish is enough to kill Li En on the beach.

In front of Li En's eyes, the originally quiet and beautiful sunrise at sea suddenly turned into a catastrophic tsunami like the end of the world.

This caught him off guard, his heartbeat accelerated, and his sense of fear rose.

In the face of the mighty power of nature, the Five-Star Light and Shadow Knight is just an ant.

Li En immediately changed his instructions and said quickly before the tsunami was about to hit him.
"Sophia fish, immediately transform into Sophia and protect your master."

Then, Li En saw countless fish with green light jumping out of the water, forming a huge shadow of Soraya, which blocked the tsunami that was approaching.

The shadow pushed the tsunami back into the sea, and then turned into fireflies all over the sky.

The firefly rushed towards Li En, and was finally absorbed into the green leaf totem on the thumb of his left hand.

Li En really didn't expect that the pattern on his finger could actually serve as a container to absorb Sophia's spirit.

I wonder if the one-eye pattern on the index finger can absorb the spirit of the [Eye of Doom]?
Well, I can’t think like that. He might find out.

Li En collected his thoughts, no longer lingering on the beach scenery, and decisively entered Soraya's next dream.

This time, Soraya was not a school of fish in the water, but an eagle soaring high in the sky.

Li En had just appeared in this dream when he almost had a free fall from a height of ten thousand meters.

Fortunately, he was caught by the Sophia Eagle in time.

The embarrassing thing is that the Five-Star Light and Shadow Knight can't fly, not even in dreams.

In the third dream, Sophia was running on the endless grassland. She had transformed into a free lion and had six or seven lionesses hunting food for her. She only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Her life was extremely leisurely. Her golden mane was shiny and sleek, and she exuded an incomparable confidence when she raised her head.

As soon as Li En fell asleep, he experienced the magnificent scene of the migration of beasts on the grassland. A group of yaks rushed towards him like crazy. Wherever they passed, dust flew, grass and trees were broken, and the whole earth was shaking.

Li En believes that this should not be called Sophia's Dream Cage, but should be called Li En's Adventures.

Afterwards, Li En experienced Soraya's various dreams one after another and experienced various traps.

I can't help but sigh that Sophia really doesn't like humans. Most of her dreams are in the form of animals, and sometimes they may be elves and sirens.

It was not until the last dream that Li En saw Sophia in human form.

The only difference is that her image is a little princess with green hair and blue eyes.

The architecture of this kingdom is grand yet simple, very different from that of the Holy Empire. The houses are mainly brown, gray, and white, and tall towers stand above the city.

Flying creatures that resembled both dragons and lizards circled in the sky, leaving behind colorful clouds. The city streets were filled with citizens dressed in fancy clothes. Their clothes were of strange styles, unlike anything Li En had ever seen.

Their faces were painted red and green with oil paint, as if they were celebrating some grand festival.

A float pulled by a crawling giant appeared surrounded by guards. The little princess Soraya and her king father and queen mother sat on the float and slowly passed through the crowd.

The citizens cheered and crowded around, trying to catch up with the float.

The band was playing cheerful and ancient music, a melody that Li En had never heard before.

The family of three on the float had happy smiles on their faces.

"Soraya, my little angel, remember today's celebration. From now on, I will let everyone celebrate for you on every birthday."

A handsome man in a gorgeous robe and a crown picked up Soraya.

Soraya smiled innocently and acted coquettishly in the king's arms.

The queen looked at her tenderly, with eyes full of doting, as if all the treasures in the world could not compare with her.

Even Li En, who had just experienced 359 adventures, couldn't bear to disturb them.

But he was pressed for time, and the longer he delayed here, the greater the risk of being discovered by Sophie.

Therefore, I can only call Soraya directly.

"Soraya, come to me."

Soraya, who was still on the float, suddenly froze in her eyes, as if she was someone who had just woken up from a beautiful dream.

She turned her head slightly and saw Li En standing in the crowd.

She slowly turned around and saw the young faces of the king and queen.

Her beautiful blue eyes were filled with mist, and tears fell without her knowing when.

Li En heard a familiar whisper in his ears.

"My great master, please do not break my dream. I am willing to stay here forever. I am willing to give up everything in this world, just to let me indulge in this beautiful dream."

"No, I refuse."

Li En said in a tone that brooked no room for argument.

How could he let Soraya indulge in such a sweet dream?

Then what about the 359 adventures he had encountered before?
"I'll give you five minutes to say your final goodbyes to your current family."

Li En didn't know whether Soraya's current family was her real family. After all, even a beggar would dream of becoming a prince, and a girl dreaming of being a princess was simply an ordinary dream. However, he still upheld humanitarian kindness and let Soraya say her final goodbye to them.

Soraya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when her parents asked her about it with concern, she replied that she was crying tears of joy.

Before the float had completed its journey, Soraya transformed into a spirit and floated into the green leaf pattern on Li En's left thumb.

At this point, the dream cage composed of 360 dream curses completely collapsed.

Li En returned to reality with all of Soraya's spirits.

The girl bound by the giant tree finally opened her eyes.

Their lips parted.

The girl's pale blue eyes seemed to carry the sun, moon, stars, flowers, and all things. They were pure and full of temptation, like the most dazzling gems. At this moment, the face of the young lord was reflected in these eyes.

After all the spirits returned, the sacred aura of the girl became even stronger.

Li En was slightly stunned by her beautiful eyes at close range for a second, and immediately looked back at Sophie guiltily.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Sophie never turned back to look at him and Soraya.

Perhaps he hadn't stayed in the dream cage for long.

The messenger from the Afir Palace, the spirit of the Bone Forest who previously held power over the Bone Forest, was too cunning. He actually divided Soraya's soul into 360 parts and imprisoned them in perfect dreams, which invisibly increased the workload for himself, the savior.

"Master, thank you for saving me."

Soraya said gently.

Then, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the big trees embedded in the dungeon began to shrink, and all of them shrank into Soraya's back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sophie immediately turned around and came to Li En, looking vigilantly at Soraya who caused the disturbance in the dungeon, and was ready to use frost magic at any time.

"Sophie, one of us."

Li En said in time.

But Sophie still looked at Soraya unkindly.

Who told her not to wear clothes?
Soraya is good at detecting other people's emotions, even if the other person is a girl with expressionless face.

After she retracted all the vines and branches of the giant tree into her body, a gorgeous long skirt appeared on her body, with flowers and green leaves dotted on the hem. She looked very much like the Spring Girl in Li En's elementary school textbook in his previous life. Well, her appearance was not so rough, and a little more delicate.

Soraya gave Li En a strange greeting, just like what Li En had seen in her last dream.

"My lord, Soraya is willing to follow you forever. The Bone Forest is your territory from now on, open to you at any time."

"You look good."

Perhaps because of the master-servant contract, Li En could clearly sense the state of the forest spirit Soraya.

Soraya nodded slightly. "Being free from the prison of dreams has given me a whole new understanding, and my spirit has been sublimated to a certain extent."

"Congratulations, Soraya."

Li En was genuinely happy, not only because Sophie didn't see him and Soraya kissing, but also because he had a capable servant.

He no longer needed to continue conquering the eastern district. As long as Soraya was there, the Bone Forest would be the best barrier for the Green Shade Territory.

Finally, I can enter the Blue Moon Territory without any worries.

Moreover, as the spirit of the forest, Soraya certainly knows more than others. If I encounter unknown problems in the field of mysticism, I can ask her for advice without worrying that she will lie.

Her loyalty is very high.

"Soraya, is the Afir Palace you mentioned the maze in the Skeleton Monster's territory?"

Lee En asked.

"Yes Master."

Soraya answered respectfully.

"Does it possess the legendary Gate to Hell?"

Li En continued to ask.

"Yes, Master. Ahfell Palace itself is a gate to hell. If you want the ownership of this gate, I can help you clear out the undead in the area."

"Not necessary for now. Just keep an eye on the door."
