Chapter 140 Invading Consciousness
Inside the warehouse, a hand pried open Dorothy's mouth without hesitation and forced the hallucinogenic liquid down her throat.
She kept sobbing, but as a spellcaster, she was already weak and could only swallow the potion.
Some liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his clothes and spreading into a wet patch.
After drinking the hallucinogenic potion, Dorothy could no longer resist the overwhelming drowsiness. Her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
Kane glanced to the side: "So, what's next? What are you planning to do?"
Risa explained, "I am the Sleep Demon. To transfer a soul to a new host, I must completely annihilate the other person's ego."
"I need your help—I need you to come with me into her dream."
Kane thought for a moment and realized she was right.
If soul transfer were really that easy, Risa could have easily changed bodies and escaped the demon cult's pursuit long ago, without having to reside in Theresa's body all this time.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Risa brought two chairs from deep inside the warehouse.
After the two sat down, Kane also drank the hallucinogenic potion and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The surroundings were plunged into darkness.
In an instant, the dream unfolded.
When Kane opened his eyes again, he was in a huge manor square.
He mingled in the crowd, surrounded by a number of mercenaries—the same group who had gone to the Savannah with him earlier.
At this moment, everyone gripped their weapons tightly and looked solemnly at the other side.
Opposite them stood a hooded half-elf spellcaster.
He was surrounded by a group of guards dressed in light armor, carrying small round shields and scimitars.
These people stared at Kane with cold, malicious eyes.
As Kane pondered, Risa's voice rang in his ears: "Those people are the spiritual guardians of her self-awareness, and should be the most powerful and profound fighting force in her memory."
"Only by killing them can Dorothy's true self be seen."
"Remember, the sooner the better. Once the dream evolves and she senses more danger, it will spawn more powerful enemies."
"These mercenaries around you are all conjured by my abilities. Don't let them all die."
Kane understood: "I understand."
Risa's ability to enter dreams is related to his subsequent actions.
In order to obtain more intelligence, he had to ensure the success of this operation.
Moreover, according to Risa, once she invades the other person's body...
She can also access all the secrets that Dorothy knows.
As soon as he finished speaking, the enemy guards drew their swords in unison, the sound of metal being drawn was ear-piercing.
Kane looked at the mercenaries beside him, who appeared calm, including the "skinny mercenary."
He gave the order: "Fire!"
The mercenaries immediately drew their crossbows and fired upwards, the bolts falling diagonally.
The guards raised their shields to parry, and only a few were hit by arrows in the legs and hands, yet they remained silent and charged forward fearlessly.
After the rain of arrows, the guards rushed forward.
The mercenaries also drew their various weapons and stood ready for battle.
boom-
The two groups of people collided with a loud crash.
In the first wave of attack, several mercenaries were instantly cut down and seriously injured.
Even so, no one backed down; they all tenaciously held onto the enemy.
Many people even resorted to dirty tricks, such as splashing powder or targeting the opponent's vital points.
Kane's eyes narrowed, and he immediately locked onto the distance.
The spellcaster in the dream had already begun to raise his hand and chant.
He drew his scimitar and charged forward, stabbing through two guards who tried to stop him, while also slashing his arm.
Kane remained silent and continued his mad dash toward the spellcaster.
When the spellcaster saw him rushing towards him, he immediately raised his hand to cast a spell.
The ground suddenly collapsed, followed by a massive fireball hurtling towards Kane.
"Second-circle spell?"
There is no escaping it on the battlefield.
Without hesitation, Kane immediately activated his elemental absorption, and a faint elemental aura emanated from his body.
He then picked up a body of a guard and used it as a shield in front of him.
A massive fireball instantly engulfed him and his corpse, filling the air with the smell of burning.
Just as the spellcaster showed a relaxed expression, a figure suddenly rushed out from the flames.
Kane threw aside the charred corpse, lunged forward with his knife, and the distance between the two closed rapidly, to only ten meters.
The spellcaster's expression changed, and he was about to continue chanting.
Kane had already uttered, "Cloud Mist!"
The white mist suddenly spread out, enveloping the surroundings.
The caster sensed something was wrong and hurriedly sped up the incantation.
But a curved blade shot out from the clouds like lightning, slashing heavily in front of him.
Click—
The mage's armor cracked open.
Under the spellcaster's horrified gaze, the scimitar slashed down again.
This attack shattered the mage's armor completely.
The spellcaster tried to struggle, but the scimitar had already flashed across his neck like lightning.
His head flew into the air and landed heavily on the ground.
The entire dream trembled violently at the moment the spellcaster died.
Risa's voice rang out urgently again: "Take care of the remaining soldiers quickly! If we drag this out any longer, even stronger enemies will appear. Hurry!"
Kane turned his head and saw that the mercenaries were barely managing to defend themselves against the onslaught of the guards.
Although many of the enemy soldiers were wounded, very few were killed, and they still maintained extremely strong combat power.
Kane nodded, urging his blood to accelerate, and turned to charge into the battle.
With the enhancement of his Susas Scimitar technique, he moved like a tiger among sheep, and the mercenaries seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The moment the last guard fell, the entire battlefield shattered, and darkness surged in once more.
Kane opened his eyes again and found himself back in a dark room.
Risa stood beside him, holding a dagger in her hand.
In the center of the room, Dorothy, dressed in thin clothes, shivered and stared at the two men in terror.
"Why—can't you just let me go? I didn't kill anyone myself, they did it all, I was just an accomplice!"
She looked at Risa and murmured, "You want to take over my consciousness—you're a demon! But isn't your demon cult allied with us?!"
Kane's expression was grave.
Risa smiled slightly and said to him, "You don't need to see what happens next."
As for the information she knows, I'll know it all once I devour her consciousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before Kane's eyes suddenly blurred.
The last thing he saw was Risa plunging a dagger into Dorothy's chest.
Dorothy's eyes flashed with intense resentment as she gripped the dagger tightly, blood gushing out.
The next moment, Kane suddenly woke up.
The familiar warehouse, the familiar atmosphere.
"Lord Kane, are you alright?"
A gentle voice rang out.
Kane looked at the person in front of him and immediately realized that this was no longer Risa who was possessed by the Sleep Demon, but the real Theresa.
He stood up and nodded politely: "Ms. Theresa."
Theresa nodded gently: "Please wait a moment."
In front of them, Dorothy was still lying on the ground, her eyes closed, her expression pained.
A hint of worry appeared in Theresa's eyes.
Kane asked, "Ms. Theresa, were you like this back then?"
Theresa gently shook her head: "I had already given up the will to live."
When Risa entered my dream and asked to borrow my body, I immediately agreed, hoping only to have a good dream before I die.
"But for some reason, she did not completely erase my consciousness, but chose to coexist with me."
Risa chose the name herself.
Kane nodded slightly.
This resolved his doubts and put his mind at ease.
This shows that Risa, this demon, even though she belongs to the chaotic evil, still retains a shred of decency.
Just then, Dorothy on the ground suddenly straightened up.
She slowly opened her eyes, a mocking smile on her face.
"I heard everything you said—that demon is dead."
Neither Teresa nor Kane were surprised to hear this.
Theresa still wore a gentle smile.
Kane remained expressionless, as if he had expected this all along.
