Chapter: Chapter 304
“Hmph, despicable!” After being struck by Leticia, the girl rolled on the ground in embarrassment before managing to stand up, glaring at Leticia.
Leticia was indifferent to the girl’s anger. What was so despicable about it? She had simply done something perfectly normal in a fight. It was just that this girl was too inexperienced and had been caught off guard by her sneak attack.
“Don’t say that. You’re just weak, don’t be stubborn and refuse to admit it.” Leticia chuckled and began to chant again. This time, she conjured another cyan fireball and threw it at the girl. “Take another fireball from me!”
Having just suffered a disadvantage, the girl would never believe Leticia’s nonsense again. She instinctively dodged the fireball Leticia had thrown at her.
The fireball hit the spot where the girl had been standing, erupting in a shower of sparks. However, its power was not as great as the girl had imagined, as if the fireball were truly just an ordinary one.
“That’s why I say you’re an idiot. Facing such a powerful enemy, you still stand there dazed. Are you looking down on me?” As the girl dodged, Leticia immediately hurled the magic she had been truly charging towards the direction the girl had been evading.
A beam of flame instantly pierced the girl’s chest, leaving a fist-sized circular hole in her front.
For an ordinary person, such a wound would be unequivocally considered close to death. With the heart incinerated, even the most powerful psychic could only last a short while.
Unless the heart could be regenerated through other means within that brief period, it meant certain death.
However, the girl was not an ordinary person. She who stood here could even be considered not human.
Her insides were not the flesh and blood of a normal person, but a expanse of white. The wound Leticia had inflicted did not affect her movements at all. It was the same for the fire dragon earlier, and it was the same for the current beam of flame.
The wound caused by the beam healed naturally within seconds. Although the girl was somewhat surprised by Leticia’s combat power, her core self was not significantly impacted.
Leticia could easily dominate her, but it didn’t matter if she took hits. Leticia hitting her would only expend her strength. She could completely wear Leticia down until she died.
This was what the girl thought, and this was what she did.
After two attempts, Leticia also understood the girl’s objective. Her appearance here was not to defeat her, but simply to stall for time.
Having an immortal blocking one’s path would surely be bothersome and disgusting to anyone.
Leticia naturally felt this way as well. The girl’s combat power was very low; over ninety-nine percent of her strength was sustained by her immortality, and there was indeed no way to break her immortality.
The previous methods were probably useless. So, what should be done?
The solution was actually very simple: just make sure this girl couldn’t hold her back.
If Leticia were alone, she might be troubled for a while. However, Leticia was not alone.
“Hold this guy back, don’t let her interfere with my actions,” Leticia ordered Akari.
There was no need to waste time on this undying creature, as she couldn’t be permanently eliminated. It was better to let Akari hold off this girl while she thoroughly investigated this place.
“Understood!” Akari immediately took Leticia’s place and began to entangle with the girl.
The girl was still being one-sidedly beaten. Changing opponents did not make her perk up.
Akari was also aware of the girl’s immortal characteristic, so from the very beginning of the fight, she focused her efforts on how to restrict the girl’s movements, rather than how to kill her.
Even Leticia had tried twice and given up. Where would she, a mere bodyguard, get the ability to deal with this annoying immortal?
In any case, her mission was to stall until His Majesty returned. During this time, it didn’t matter what she did.
“Shadow Cage!” Akari summoned shadows to form a cage, trapping the girl inside.
The girl angrily pounded on the black cage, but with minimal effect. Her talents were all focused on survival; her attack power was truly lacking.
Faced with Akari’s control spells, she was completely stalled. Although she could expend Akari’s magic by attacking the cage, it was quite difficult to wear Akari down to death this way.
“She’s struggling quite a bit, but her strength is indeed a little weak.” Feeling the rate of her magic consumption, Akari felt quite content. At this rate of consumption, it would take this girl a day and a night without letting her catch her breath.
She, Akari, had finally encountered an enemy she could crush again!
This was truly something to be happy about!
While Akari was happily tormenting her opponent, Leticia had already begun exploring the surrounding environment.
As Akari had just said, there were traces of human habitation in this place, but now, there was no one there.
This was undoubtedly a strange thing. Could a deity directly clear out all the people in this area without alerting anyone?
Probably not. The God of Dreams was not in her prime state either. To carry out such a monumental task of changing reality, her strength should not be sufficient.
“Forget it, I’ll just make a phone call to ask.” Leticia took out her phone, intending to ask Bai Ling about this place. However, her phone received no signal at that moment.
This was quite interesting. Human mobile phone signals had extensive coverage. Even in the depths of the wilderness, there were mobile signals. At this moment, in the largest city in humanity, her phone couldn’t get a signal?
Either the signal in this place was being jammed, or this was no longer the central city.
Of these two guesses, Leticia leaned more towards the latter, because the appearance of this place now did not resemble a normal world at all.
Look at the colorful sky above. Was that something that should appear in a normal world?
“We need to go. Let’s leave this place first!” After a quick look around, Leticia shouted to Akari.
First, leave this place, contact Bai Ling, and then consider what to do next. This was Leticia’s current thought, and in her opinion, it was the best course of action.
Upon receiving Leticia’s order, Akari quickly retreated to Leticia’s side and rushed towards the way back with the demon lord.
The white-haired girl was still under the control of Akari’s magic, and could only watch helplessly as Leticia and Akari disappeared without a trace.
It took about a few minutes. Leticia suddenly felt the pressure on her body lighten considerably, as if she had crossed some boundary.
She immediately took out her phone. Leticia looked at the full signal on her phone and knew that she had escaped the most dangerous place.
There were pedestrians coming and going on the street, many of whom were heading towards where Leticia had just come from. But for some reason, from this vantage point, nothing out of the ordinary seemed to appear within.
If Leticia hadn’t just gone in there once, she probably wouldn’t have believed what it was like inside.
“This thing seems to be moving?” Leticia looked up at the sky again and was surprised to find that the colorful sky canopy was not fixed in one place; it was moving!
And its speed was not slow!
Hurriedly opening her phone’s map, Leticia searched for a possible destination for this strange sky canopy. However, there were almost no places she recognized in that direction.
What was the deity’s target? Leticia really couldn’t guess. All she could do now was follow this bizarre thing and see what the deity was planning.
“Bai, you need to be prepared. That guy is far more troublesome than I ever imagined.” Leticia called Bai Ling and directly gave her the bad news.
“What happened?” Bai Ling looked around, making sure no one was eavesdropping, before lowering her voice and asking, “Did something go wrong?”
“If something had gone wrong, I wouldn’t be talking to you like this; I’d be shouting for you to come help quickly.” Leticia stated that she was very direct when asking for help and didn’t beat around the bush.
If she were beating around the bush, it would mean the situation wasn’t that critical yet, and there was still time for her to do so.
“I’ve tracked a distorted area where the real world has partially intersected and merged with the dream world. I saw someone from a dream there.” Leticia told Bai Ling about what she had encountered. “And I’m sure I didn’t enter a dream just now, unless you tell me I’m dreaming now.”
“I can assure you that you are not dreaming.” Bai Ling smiled. “I’ll come and help you. Xiao Ya should be fine.”
“No need. You keep an eye on Zi Meng. Qi La is also with you. If you find Qi La making a move on Zi Meng… don’t stop her.”
“You intend to directly… Zi Meng…” Bai Ling’s pupils contracted. Leticia’s decision was too decisive. If it were her, she wouldn’t have been able to make such a decision in such a short period.
After all, Zi Meng might still be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.
“She is, after all, a suspect. The best and most convenient way is to ensure she can never cause trouble.” Leticia stated that her method was the best. Now was not the time to make complex judgments. “Of course, I think the best way is to eliminate all those sleeping people and cut off the deity’s energy supply.”
Leticia had already determined that the deity was capturing dreams to gain the power to cause trouble. With trouble brewing, wouldn’t it be great to directly remove the source of her power?
However, Bai Ling did not think Leticia’s method was very good. “This method is only a superficial solution. To defeat such a deity, I need your help, but you are about to leave.”
Speaking of which, Bai Ling paused, her voice carrying a hint of embarrassment. “After you leave, I will be completely unable to deal with this deity. Rather than facing such an enemy alone in the end, I think it would be better for us to fight her together.”
“You’re saying that to drag me down, aren’t you?” Leticia asked unhappily.
Miss Bai chuckled merrily. “You jumped in yourself, so you can’t blame me.”
Leticia could have left long ago, but she didn’t. Wasn’t it because she had decided to stay and deal with this wave of enemies before leaving?
“Then don’t say it so obviously. Doesn’t it make me seem like a tool?”
“You are the person I like the most, how could you be a tool?” Bai Ling immediately declared that Leticia was everything to her, and besides her own sister, there was nothing more important to her than Leticia. “Do you really not need my help?”
“No, keeping an eye on Zi Meng is the best help you can give me.” Leticia snorted. Bai Ling’s answer was barely passable. “I’ll keep an eye on things here. I can’t afford to neglect either side.”
“Alright then, I’ll keep an eye on Zi Meng. However, if Qi La makes a move, I might not be able to stand idly by.” Bai Ling stated her bottom line. “At least not in front of me, okay?”
“Heh, hypocritical.” Leticia expressed her disdain for Miss Bai’s request. Was there a need for this? Zi Meng was already a bomb that could explode at any moment… although they all hoped this bomb would explode soon.
“Then let me continue to be hypocritical.” Miss Bai was not angry. After all, she would just agree with whatever Leticia said, as long as Leticia was happy.
This shameless attitude choked Leticia, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
“As expected, I need to prepare blood pressure medication every time I talk to you.” Leticia finally managed to blurt out this sentence.
“Then you can just not talk to me.”
“As you wish, we won’t be able to talk soon!” Leticia shouted into the phone and then hung up.
The pedestrians on the street looked at this scene and assumed that Leticia was angered by her lover. After all, there were few things that could make a girl this angry.
However, this girl looked so young, and she already had a lover? Children nowadays were truly precocious.
Oh, wait, looking at the bodyguard-like girl standing beside her, she was also a young lady.
A young lady, then it was normal. The circle is really chaotic, everyone understands.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?” Akari asked with some concern. Leticia looked truly worrying now, her face flushed, and she was panting continuously.
“I’m perfectly fine.” Leticia gritted her teeth and said, “I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and helped that guy.”
