Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"You, you, how could you...?"

Seeing that the other party had actually escaped the endless nightmare he had woven, the nightmare felt a sense of panic, but after thinking about his backup plan, he suppressed his unease again.

"Little girl, I didn't believe you when you said you ruined my hard-won plan to invade Azure Dream. Now it seems that you really are the one who restored Azure Dream."

Beneath his sinister eyes gleamed a strange light. "Being able to shatter my endless nightmares, you're worthy of being my collection. I'll turn you into a sculpture and place you in my castle."

"Hmph, laughable. Let me become a sculpture, and you become the David statue first." As she spoke, Lin Xueyin slowly took out a Nine-Bend Serpent Spear from the space, the spear tip hidden in the serpent's mouth shining with a captivating light.

"I hope you'll say the same thing when I've turned you into a hornet's nest."

She must be a priest. The tenth elder was a little confused when he saw the girl wielding a long spear, fighting fiercely against the nightmare.

Wasn't it said that human priests were a type of mage, both being ranged classes? How come they suddenly changed their attack style? Or has my impression of priests been a misunderstanding all along, and this is actually how priests should fight?

A flash of silver light streaked across his chest, leaving a trail of alluring red, which darkened the Nightmare's face considerably.

"I never thought that I, Morogal, would be injured by a little human girl. You're quite good. With this achievement, you can boast to the world. Of course, the premise is that you can survive."

She quickly retreated, escaping Lin Xueyin's attack range, and just as Lin Xueyin was about to continue her pursuit, she instantly launched dozens of black magic energy spheres around her, forcing Lin Xueyin to retreat several steps.

"Little girl, I hope you can survive the next blow, because I want you to be forever trapped in nightmares, eventually turning into a statue, becoming an eternal work of art in my castle. Only in this way can I atone for the sins you have committed against me."

Blinking, Lin Xueyin didn't say much, but calmly pointed her spear at Morogal, who was still boasting arrogantly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. But are you sure you can beat me? I'm not being arrogant, it's just that you're simply not up to the task..."

Before she could finish speaking, the ground beneath her feet began to crack, and the withered grass and trees transformed into tentacles that lunged straight at Lin Xueyin.

"I'm so pissed off..."

Please forgive the protagonist for swearing, because at this moment all she could think of were those anime series she had seen before, tentacles, and these things were simply the nemesis of all kinds of female heroes, female warriors, and female mages.

Once you're entangled with someone, a series of events unfold that you'll find very interesting. However, this is a time for you to watch, not a time for you to be the main character.

Wielding her spear, she continuously slashed off the crimson tentacles that attacked her, but a milky white, sticky, unidentified liquid was also sprayed all over Lin Xueyin's body along with the broken, wriggling soft matter.

Ugh, when I first saw these things, I was so excited. I even thought I might try to make a little bit myself. But when it came to being the target, all I felt was a strong sense of disgust.

"Aren't you Nightmare? How can something like this appear? Can't you have any dignity as a strong person?"

"Haha, the winner takes all. If you have the dignity of a strongman, then stand there and have a showdown with your nightmare."

"My nightmare," Lin Xueyin overheard something terrifying, but how could she dare gamble with what she believed in the world in the face of such a being? If she were caught, she would truly become the heroine of an anime series.

However, even if she didn't think about it, the unmodified endurance made it difficult for Lin Xueyin to maintain her stamina. She was only a step slower, and her left ankle, which was lightly stepping, was already tightly wrapped.

Although it only took her a second to sever the tentacle, unfortunately, the time that had been paused could not be reversed, and the spear that had just severed the tentacle was tightly entangled by the one that arrived later.

Her slender waist was tightly wrapped by a thick tentacle behind her, and her entire body was lifted off the ground in the next second.

Her struggling limbs were all bound, and it seemed that everything had already declared a bad ending. However, just as Morogal was about to watch the girl in front of him being pierced in various ways, a burst of energy that made his heart palpitate erupted.

A profound emotional shock.

In an instant, just an instant, the nightmare she had woven was reduced to ashes once again. Lin Xueyin leaned softly against the spear that was planted on the ground, her slightly parted lips panting heavily.

"Now let's see what else you've got up your sleeve."

Exhaustion and weariness had left the girl at her limit, but the previous burst of energy also made Morogal hesitant to act rashly for the time being.

He had just been struck by this shockwave of mental energy, which made him hesitant to act rashly.

This energy is its own nemesis. Once one's mind is attacked, one cannot allow the dream woven by reflecting the weaknesses of the other's mind to continue to exist.

This girl is practically my nemesis. I can't let her live, absolutely not. Otherwise, my Nightmare Clan will forever tremble in her shadow.

As Morogal watched with a cold smile, all the dark spheres fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and stirring up clouds of dust that engulfed the land near Lin Xueyin.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and without pausing, it plunged into the dust in an instant.

Morogal coldly stared at the dust that had obscured his vision, his killing intent growing stronger. For reasons unknown, the ten elders also refrained from speaking to warn the girl inside.

Amidst the dust, the girl, her eyes obscured, remained unaware that danger had descended once more.

Volume 4: Kerrochin Forest: Chapter 36 Assassins, Nightmas, and Priests

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Even if the sky is filled with dust and the sun is obscured by sandstorms, it will slowly return to the ground and become a part of the earth again. No matter how glorious it was in the past, it is hard to escape the final ordinariness.

When the dust settled, the girl reappeared before everyone's eyes, the once innocent girl now filled with horror. Her spear pointed diagonally at the ground, and her slightly trembling hands betrayed her inner unease.

Opposite her, there was another person with a look of surprise. Two daggers, resembling the fangs of demons, were completely devoid of light. Clearly, they contained a potent poison that could potentially kill anyone upon contact.

"You actually managed to dodge my fatal blow."

The assassin was utterly bewildered by the fact that the girl had escaped his deadly attack. He had clearly made contact with something, so why was there not a single scratch on her?

Thinking back to how this person had slashed her with a dagger, Lin Xueyin broke out in a cold sweat. If she hadn't used her Divine Shield to protect herself, she probably would have been hit by this attack. Moreover, the dagger was clearly coated with poison, and she had no ability to detoxify it.

Of course, even if it were, such a potent poison wouldn't give her a chance to cure it. Lin Xueyin quietly exhaled a breath of stale air and relaxed.

The assassin who's been discovered isn't much of a threat anymore. He's not some kind of overpowered archer, and with his face covered, he's clearly an Assassin. How dare someone like that challenge me—well, I'm a mage, right? It seems like facing an assassin... cough cough...

"Hey, who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

Silence continued, the man remained motionless despite Lin Xueyin's words. He stood there like a statue, completely still. But the more he remained silent, the more terrified Lin Xueyin became. She could clearly sense that if she made the slightest move, she would be met with the most fatal blow.

"Little girl, he is a Shadow Clan member of the Demon Clan, possessing powerful assassination abilities. It is said that they do not have any fancy moves, and are often fatal with a single strike, so you must be careful."

"I understand... Waaah."

Before she could finish speaking, the Shadow Clan assassin had already transformed into a black line, directly stabbing at the girl who was distracted by talking. However, this time, he still failed to achieve his goal.

"Is it this shield that allowed you to dodge my fatal attack?"

He crouched on the ground, his hands in front of him and behind him, gripping the dagger in reverse, his eyes fixed on the faintly visible shield in front of him, as if he could kill the enemy completely with just one more attack.

However, during the recent exchange, he could sense the toughness of the shield itself, and it was probably not something he could break through in a few moves. It seemed that he couldn't do it alone.

“Nid Soul Reaper, I’ll help you take down this little girl.”

"Hey? Two against one? That's too much!" Lin Xueyin angrily pointed at the two shameless demons in front of her. If they couldn't beat them one-on-one, they would gang up on them. Did these people have no sense of shame at all?

Judging from a single glimpse, the whole picture is clear. The leader of the demon race, the Demon King, is no good either. To have such a person as a subordinate clearly shows that they are all in cahoots.

The spear once again unleashed streaks of cold light, like a rain of pear blossoms, rushing straight towards the assassin. However, in just a moment, he had already vanished from his sight.

Instead, enormous plant roots coiled around her, only to be torn to shreds by the overwhelming, cold light that resembled a rain of pear blossoms.

With his old power exhausted and new power yet to emerge, Ned Soul Reaper once again transformed his dagger into a deadly arc, charging towards Lin Xueyin. Behind him was a sphere of light formed from dark energy, a small sphere containing boundless power.

Before Lin Xueyin could even utter a curse, she was struck by the enemy's attack, which shattered her shield. The enemy dared not linger and instantly fled the center.

Immediately following was a violent explosion that completely buried Lin Xueyin within these black energy spheres.

The gleaming spear landed far away on the ground. Behind the smoke, the girl knelt on the ground, coughing incessantly, surrounded by a scene of utter chaos.

"Little girl, now you know how powerful you are, right? Regret? Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't have a chance to regret it."

Beneath Morogalle's sinister smile lay a triumphant smugness. A dark shadow appeared again behind the girl, but the ten elven elders remained unmoved.

Her death was a good thing for the elves, and they also didn't believe that this demon was capable of defeating all ten of them. As long as they killed Lin Xueyin and successfully defeated these demons, they would have the opportunity to sow discord between the humans and the demons.

With the two races locked in conflict, the elves, as allies of the humans, naturally saw their status and position rise. Moreover, if problems arose, the elves could retreat to the forest in time. With the protection of the Kerroqin Forest, the demons could only look on with envy.

Where the dagger passed, another barrier appeared. The girl, with her head bowed, gave a cold laugh and let out a mental scream.

Instantly, nameless fear filled the hearts of the two demons. Lin Xueyin took the opportunity to retreat, and as she retreated, she raised her hand and unleashed a new skill: Holy Nova.

A violent burst of holy energy exploded between Morogal and Nidr Soul Reaper, causing severe injuries to the two who were caught off guard.

"Tsk tsk, now we're even."

Picking up the spear he had tossed aside, a mocking smile played on his lips. He raised his hand again, and a sacred flame descended from the sky, hurtling towards Morogal.

At that moment, a silver, star-like object also slammed into the direction of Nidr Soul Reaper, who was still staring intently at him.

"Hmph, a mere trick. Don't forget, this is my dream."

Before he could finish speaking, Morogal had already raised his hand, preparing to completely erase the two attacks from his dream. Unfortunately, he forgot about Lin Xueyin's other attack.

"Mental shock."

Seeing the situation was dire, Ned Soul Reaper retreated rapidly, quickly dodging the opponent's attack. However, Morogal was not so lucky; the Holy Fire descended directly on his face, causing him to let out a shrill scream.

Volume 4: Kerluqin Forest: Chapter 37 Fierce Battle and Intrigue (Two chapters published together)

As Lin Xueyin unleashed her Shattered Stars and Holy Fire, Nid Soul Reaper and Morogal were caught off guard, one fleeing in panic, the other being hit by all the attacks due to Mind Blast.

Looking at the girl in front of him with a pitiful expression, he realized that she had survived their attacks unscathed, something that no ordinary human could do.

"Who...who are you?"

"Huh? You're all going to kill me, and you're asking who I am? Are you guys here to make a fool of yourselves?" He lightly brushed his finger across the tip of his nose, looking at his enemy with utter disdain.

"Little girl, leave now, and as long as you keep quiet about what happened inside, today's events and the previous time you ruined my plans will be wiped clean, how about that?"

Morogal could only make a temporary retreat in the face of Lin Xueyin. Although it was in his dream, she was like his natural enemy. She could use mind magic at will, a kind of magic that he had never seen before.

Furthermore, even Nidr the Soul Reaper couldn't effectively attack her. Not only could her magical shield block all attacks, but her melee abilities were also comparable to those of top-tier warriors. Was she even human?

For now, the only option is to avoid conflict with her for the time being. Once we get out, we'll gather our forces and make sure to completely eliminate her. There can't be anyone on this continent who is like our natural enemy.

"Heh, you were the one who wanted to kill me, and now you're the one who wants to make peace. Don't you find it ridiculous?" Lin Xueyin looked at the two enemies in front of her with her arms crossed, her expression cold and mocking.

"Hmph, I am the patriarch of the Nightmare Clan under the Demon King's command. I think you should know what to do now."

He also sneered at Lin Xueyin. The current demon race is vastly different from the one before. The unified demon race has long had the ability to unify the entire continent. Right now, it's just that the new demon king has just ascended the throne and is prioritizing consolidating his domestic rule. Once everything is ready, not to mention the tiny human race, even the other races on the entire continent will only have one fate—surrender or perish.

"Even I can see that you're an idiot. Your Demon King isn't much different. Your IQ is pathetic."

The mocking looks and their growing impatience made Lin Xueyin unwilling to say anything more to them.

"He who kills will be killed in return. Since you're here, be prepared. The battlefield is a place where it's either you or me who dies." With a flick of his spear, the cold light from the snake's mouth transformed into a shower of pear blossoms, enveloping both of them.

"Damn it, you're declaring war on the demons."

"You don't represent the demon race. Next time your Demon King comes, I'll beat her so badly she won't even recognize her own mother."

The words were fast, but not as fast as the cold glint of death. In just a few words, they had already exchanged several blows. Ned Soul Reaper's two daggers barely managed to hold off the whistling spear, but they couldn't stop the explosion of holy energy that followed.

"Holy Nova".

Morogal could clearly feel that after he retreated, a portion of the powerful energy explosion that erupted there was instantly fed back into the body of the girl opposite him. If it was an attack on him, then it was definitely healing for her.
