Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

This is……

"Stagnant water".

The dragons quickly understood what had happened. Before the operation began, the dragons had gathered enough intelligence to have a considerable understanding of Leonard and the water god's power.

Leonard had already deployed his domain, setting up a water barrier around himself.

Normally, the water barrier is undetectable and untouchable, but once the speed of something within the barrier exceeds the "threshold," the water vapor will cling to it like a leech, frantically entangled in.

The result is--

The blue-turbaned man's knife was locked in mid-air halfway through its strike, unable to advance an inch!

Even more serious is that once the water barrier is triggered, not only will the attack have difficulty reaching Leonard's body, but it will also hinder the attacker himself.

White mist rose from the blue-turbaned body, the power of water penetrating every crevice, intertwining and adhering with his magic, greatly diluting the purity of his magic.

Under such circumstances, the blue-turbaned soldier had lost his ability to fight and could only retreat several steps to create distance!

"They really did come to kill me..."

Just then, a chilling voice rang out.

Leonard slowly stood up, looking coldly at Blue Headband: "Blue Headband, I know you... you should be serving me!"

The man in the blue headscarf was shocked, but quickly regained his composure.

He chuckled and said, "Mr. Leonard, I don't have much of a problem with you. The reason I'm targeting you is simply because the Dragon Princess offered better terms. I'm not criticizing you—offering only five permanent residency permits and making us compete for them, isn't that a bit stingy?"

"..."

Leonard was speechless for a moment, finally realizing what mistake he had made.

In short, he was too arrogant and too greedy.

Leonard believed that the Sea of ​​Reflections was incredibly alluring to every faction, especially those with ambition. He believed that any adventurer who gained access to it should serve him.

There is no error in this.

Their mistake was that, even though they knew others also had the ability to enter and exit the Sea of ​​Reflection, they still failed to recognize the situation and thought they could hold all the benefits in their own hands, only letting a little slip through their fingers for others to fight over.

The other adventurers aren't stupid!

Leonard was stingy and insincere, while the Dragon Princess was generous, making it obvious who she was serving.

"This is a headache..."

Ugh.

Sakura sighed softly, her expression conveying a sense of pity.

She looked at the dragon-man and asked, "Sir, what do we do now?"

This shouldn't happen!

Leonard is the focus of attention, and the Dragon Queen has specifically amplified her influence on him. Theoretically, it is impossible for him to wake up so quickly.

unless……

The dragon-man looked down at the strange black and white spotted dog that had inexplicably appeared in his dream.

He grew wary and said, "The princess's dream is a double-edged sword. If the other party is in a state of confusion, we can easily kill him; if he is lucid, he can use the power of the dream to increase his cultivation, because it is his dream, and he can have whatever he wants! Leonard is a well-established master, and he will soon master the rules of the dream and turn against us..."

In dreams, there is no chance of winning.

The dragon-man took a step back: "Let's get out of here first. The operation has already failed."

"Tsk."

The man in the blue headscarf clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and silently ended his intrusion.

He and the other two sank into the lake, slowly disappearing into the crimson waters.

Leonard was too late to stop it and was even more worried that it was a trap.

He stood there, watching them leave.

Chapter 367 Rewards!

It disappeared, in a dream.

Leonard quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at the spotted puppy who seemed uninvolved. After a slight hesitation, he bowed respectfully and said politely, "Mr. Devil, please forgive my rudeness earlier... You saved me."

"As long as you know."

The demons of war remain motionless.

Leonard looked around suspiciously, still worried: "Mr. Devil, how do I get out of here? My 'body' should be unconscious, right? Is there any danger?"

"You can rest assured about that. The Dragon Princess's dream-entering technique is a rule-based ability. If anyone tries to harm you, they will be forced into your dream. Within this realm, only in dreams can one kill."

Leonard nodded slowly.

He still had concerns and asked, "When will the Dragon Princess's dream end?"

"When the time comes, it will naturally be lifted."

Leonard then asked, "What about my... subordinates and family? Are they alright?"

"This is not a problem I should be concerned with, humanity."

"...In any case, thank you for your previous act of kindness."

The demons of war lost their patience, and Leonard knew he had too many problems, so even though he was still extremely uneasy, he restrained himself.

He tried to calm himself down, but for some reason, the feeling of restlessness and unease in his heart became stronger and stronger!

He had a feeling that his power was constantly being lost; the divine power that could command all waters seemed to be stripped away from him.

Do not……

"What's being lost is probably time."

Leonard thought to himself.

"Alas, I was so stubborn and careless! I knew perfectly well that dragons roamed the Sea of ​​Reflection, so why didn't I connect it to the Dragon Queen? If I had realized this sooner, none of this would have happened! Even if it had, I wouldn't be so powerless to resist as I am now."

What's going on outside?

"Everyone else, are you okay?"

The war demon looked calmly at Leonard, a faint smile playing on his lips.

……

……

Sakura, Blue Headband, and Dragon Man emerged from the dream and appeared in Leonard's secret command center, deep within the underground protective facility.

There were four guards in the command post, but now they are all lying in disarray and dead.

Only Leonard, dressed in a light blue robe, sat behind his desk, his eyes closed and his expression slightly pained.

The dragonman looked at him and said, "Incredible."

"What's incredible?"

The man in the blue headscarf asked a question.

“Logically, Leonard should be awake by now. The princess's dream power, to put it bluntly, is actually a powerful form of psychological suggestion. Once the target realizes he is currently 'dreaming,' he will immediately wake up! But…”

The dragon man stared at Leonard, who remained motionless.

"But as you can see, he's still dreaming."

The man in the blue headscarf didn't seem to care much and said, "What's so strange about that? When I was young, I knew I was dreaming, but I just couldn't wake up—every time I thought I was awake, I was actually in another dream. It took many repetitions before I finally woke up."

The dragon-man shook his head again: "You said it yourself, 'when he was young.' Leonard is an adventurer of the twelfth realm. Once he has consciousness, he will not be confined to the dream!"

This……

The man in the blue bandana was puzzled: "Could it be that we've arrived at the perfect time? Has Leonard already been assassinated by someone?"

During their conversation, Sakura Karen remained silent.

She noticed that magical runes were flashing on the walls and floor, forming a strange array. Although there were no obvious fluctuations in magical power, it was still clear that the array was in operation.

Moreover, the key position was precisely where Leonard was located.

Furthermore——

"From the moment I entered the room, something was attached to my skin. It was extremely small and subtle, very difficult to detect. If one's sensitivity wasn't at my level, I believe they wouldn't have been able to detect it! How interesting, are the people who set up the array and those who are monitoring this room the same kind of people?"

Before Sakura could reach a conclusion, she suddenly heard the sound of clapping footsteps.

A group of people were running towards the command post.

The dragon-man took out a crystal and calmly said, "Someone is coming. The God of Fire sees through all things. Under his light, all evil spirits have nowhere to hide. Even the princess's 'dream' cannot trap them for long... Let's retreat. Although we failed to kill Leonard, the results this time are enough."

He crushed the crystal to create a portal and jumped in first.

The blue headscarf followed closely behind. Sakura was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something.

Suddenly, a large amount of pink mist emerged from beneath her skirt, obscuring the magical runes on the floor and walls. Only then did she leap up and jump into the portal.

"Bang!"

The next instant, the heavy doors of the command post were violently flung open.

General Red Rock and Lord of Spices Agnes led a group of people inside, where they saw Leonard sitting motionless, hidden behind a pink mist.

"General..."

Agnes looked at Red Rock, who, without a word, extended his palm, which shone with a golden-red light: "Break!"

A golden-red glow emanated from Leonard's body, but Leonard remained motionless.

Hongyan was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, "We shouldn't... Disperse!"

Another red light!

But it still didn't work.

General Red Rock caught the attention of the God of Fire, who immediately roused him from his dream shortly after he fell into it. Afterwards, General Red Rock went about his business, first helping Agnes regain consciousness, and then heading straight for this place.

On the journey, anyone tempered by his divine power would immediately awaken without exception.
