Chapter 437: I brought it
“Even though the door was a part of his consciousness, he found himself unable to open it. The restriction on the door was so strong that he could barely touch it.
“We are both sealed here for now,” he informed Kelia. “The only way to leave this place is to open that door. However, as you can see, it is impossible for me to do so.”
Since he couldn’t open the door himself, he wanted to use Kelia’s help to get it done. She had a stronger consciousness and more experience when it came to such matters.
As long as she opened the door, he could finally see through the memories of Ren Necroline.
At that point, he was going to have no use left for her. He could just complete the use of the mask that he used to trap her in his mind realm.
“How about I kill you instead?” Kelia asked in response. “If you are destroyed, this entire place will collapse. Can you still keep me trapped here?”
She didn’t believe Eren’s words in the least. This was his mind realm. How was it
possible that he couldn’t leave the place? The more absurd was his claim that opening the door could allow her to leave?
She wasn’t a fool. She knew that opening the door was only going to lead her deeper into his consciousness, which might be more dangerous for her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like it was another trap. The person just wanted her to touch that door. That’s why he only appeared after she gave up on trying to open the door.
It was clear that he wanted her to open the door for some reason. Even if it wasn’t a trap, it couldn’t be anything good for her. Eren wasn’t her friend after all. He was an enemy from another continent, who could annihilate souls.
Instead of playing along, she decided it would be better to destroy Eren directly.
With him gone, the door to his
consciousness and this entire place would
disappear, freeing her.
Since she was confident in her abilities, she
was fairly certain she could overpower Eren in this mind realm. Even though it
was Eren’s domain, she had lived longer
and her soul was stronger.
She had experienced things that Eren couldn’t even imagine, which was her biggest strength.
She also had extensive experience fighting
in the mind realms of others. In contrast, it was clearly Eren’s first time in such a realm which she realized from his reaction.
The battle in the Mind Realm was an
entirely different beast than an ignorant person could realize. The mind realms had
rules of their own, where real world’s
abilities couldn’t be used.
“Consider this a learning experience from a
senior,” she said. Her figure disappeared and she reappeared before Eren like a spirit, moving through space and time.
She placed a finger on Eren’s chest. As
soon as her finger touched him, his body was sent back flying like a doll that couldn’t
do anything to resist it.
While Eren was still flying back, she appeared next to him, grabbing him by the
throat to slam him on the ground with
great force.
“Just because it is your mind’s realm,
doesn’t mean you can do anything you want,” she told Eren as she raised him in the air. “In this place, all of a person’s real abilities become useless. Instead, you can only use the abilities that you took from
other people whose inner realm you entered.”
She tossed Eren’s body aside. This time, she didn’t chase after him. Instead, another person appeared behind Eren, being a man whose face looked completely burned.
The man also attacked Eren, who protected himself, only to be pushed back by a few steps.
“How many mind realms do you think I
have experienced? How many do you think
I have destroyed? They are all part of me
now. I can not only use their abilities but also create their avatars here.”
“If
you were strong, you would have faced
me in the real world. What a fool.” The Left Guardian looked at the mist, her lips carrying a scoff.
One after another, unknown people
appeared in Eren’s mind realm. All of them
were people whose mind realm was invaded by Kelia.
Most of them had already been dead, but a
trace of their essence had become a part of Kelia’s soul the moment she entered their realm in the first place.
This was also what made her experience more dangerous. Most strong people didn’t focus on this as they didn’t have their souls
searched by others or did the same to others.
Even if Eren was strong, there was no way
he would have searched souls of as many powerful beings as she did. There was no way he could have entered the mind realm of any powerful person who could threaten
her.
“It’s a pity that such a unique mind realm is going to be destroyed.” She looked at the in the distance, still curious as to
door
what was behind that door.
Just what kind of person this
young man
was, for there to be something like this? Although he was going to die here, it wasn’t
bad taking the essence from this realm. Maybe she could learn more about him.
“I wonder if I will ever get the answer.” She sighed, expecting the door and the entire realm to disappear once Eren was dead.
She didn’t even need to bother with him as the avatars were enough. At least that’s what she thought until she heard Eren’s voice.
“When the wise men are silent, fools start
dancing,” Eren said, moving away from the Avatars that were summoned by Kelia. He wasn’t ignorant to the rules of the mind
realm.
Even before coming to the Necromancer
Continent, he had already learned about
the mind realm, thanks to a very unique dream.
Even Yelen had confirmed to him that the dream could only be someone’s mind realm which was able to interact with Eren’s soul.
That was also when she told him about the rules.
“As you said, just entering someone’s mind
realm is enough to take their essence. So
do
you want to guess whose essence I brought that gave me such confidence?” he asked kelia who couldn’t help but frown, having a bad feeling..
