Jiang Chen sighed. "What a pity, I can't learn magic."

"This isn't magic, but the power of one's own spirit. A Wizard doesn't bewitch you while you're awake. Instead, they enter your body when you're asleep, much like a Sleeping Demon, though not as powerful."

"When you enter the Dream Realm, they can become anyone and enslave you. You'll only think it's a dream, not something real. And she—the Dark Wizard we're dealing with—takes advantage of this to slowly beguile you."

"In fact, the Wizard's dream invasion skill is learned from the Sleeping Demon. Wizards themselves aren't that fearsome; encountering a Sleeping Demon is far more terrifying. She is invincible in dreams."

"Does this mean I can learn it too?"

"Yes. This isn't a skill but a form of spirit control. You establish a cage in your own Spirit World. Once someone invades your body, you can trap them."

Jiang Chen chuckled. "Teach me."

Olive nodded without hesitation and extended her pale right hand to touch Jiang Chen's forehead.

"Is that all?"

"Yes. Right now, you can't feel it. But when you sleep and enter the Dream Realm, you'll feel a Magical Array inside you, one controlled by your own spiritual power."

Jiang Chen nodded, resolving to test the Magical Array next time.

The group finished their dinner.

「Night fell.」

Atop the city walls, several guards were sound asleep. They were sentinels, tasked with sounding the alarm if any enemy breached the Barrier. However, with the Barrier in place, they weren't afraid of sneak attacks.

A stream of black gas snaked along the ground, passed into the Barrier, and then through it, entering the bodies of the soldiers. Soon, one of the Heroes' eyes snapped open.

"You guys keep watch; I need to step out for a moment."

The Hero quickly headed toward the Secret Sword Legion, entering its interior and then the body of a woman. This woman was none other than Isabelle.

Jiang Chen was sleeping, sensing the Magical Array from his dream. He sat to one side, waiting for the Wizard's clone to arrive. But he realized he had miscalculated, as he felt no invasion of his Dream Realm.

Is she not going to come?

At this moment, within Isabelle's Dream Realm:

Annie watched as two people, Isabelle and Jiang Chen, intertwined on the bed, engaging in indescribable acts. Annie smiled, seizing the opportunity to read Isabelle's memories during their intimate moment.

This was the Wizard's beguiling ability: to enter someone else's Dream Realm and become anyone.

Angelina is his woman, Annie thought. So, if I enter Angelina's Dream Realm, I might find some weakness in this guy.

The black mist drifted out from Isabelle's body, entering another room and then Angelina's Dream Realm. Annie, now inside, surveyed the dreamscape and was utterly astonished.

She saw a statue of a woman dressed in a Rainbow Robe, holding a Rainbow Wand, and wearing a Rainbow Crown. Her very presence emanated a majesty that made Annie tremble.

What is this woman thinking? Annie wondered.

At that moment, Annie attempted to approach the statue, wanting to get a closer look.

Just then, the statue opened its eyes.

Immense authority radiated from her. "Begone!"

The black mist was forcibly expelled from the body.

Within the Dark Battle Camp, Annie was pale with shock. Who is this woman? How could she possess such formidable spiritual power? That Rainbow Robe, the Rainbow Wand in her hand—could she be a God?

Impossible! She's just a level 66 Ritualist; how could she be a God? Even if she isn't a God, there's something very significant about this woman. Her identity is far from simple.

A furious roar echoed, and everyone woke from their dreams, their eyes flicking open.

"What happened? I could swear I heard someone yelling."

"Same here. I was sound asleep and got woken up by the noise."

"Could it be an enemy invasion?"

"It wasn't an enemy invasion. That voice was different; it sounded like a woman's roar..."

"You could even tell it was a woman's voice?"

"After chasing women for so many years, of course I can tell."

「Command Post.」

Perus, Renata, Rolly, and Alice Winnie—all [Cataclysm]-rank experts—were also awakened; they too had sensed the roar. The four of them hastily convened a meeting.

Perus spoke first. "It seems you were all awakened from your sleep as well."

Renata nodded. "Yes, that voice possessed supreme authority, as if it were the roar of a God..."

Rolly looked shocked. "No way! Could a God have descended?"

Alice Winnie mused, "We were all awakened in our sleep. However, in reality, we didn't hear any sound. This means we were awakened within the Dream Realm."

"To be awakened in the Dream Realm, it's either the voice of the Dream God, or someone aggravated another God, shattering the dreamscape, which allowed us to hear it."

Perus asked, "Then who do you think it is?"

"The Dream God typically doesn't get angry, so it's likely the second scenario. There must be a powerful being hidden near us, one with immense spiritual power capable of shattering our dreamscapes."

"If a God had descended, we would surely know."

"That's not necessarily true. We are nothing but ants in the eyes of a God. Could it be the Dark Wizard's trickery?"

Alice Winnie shook her head. "Impossible. She doesn't possess such immense spiritual power. It's more likely the Dark Wizard entered the body of someone who had a deity hidden within them, and this eventually enraged that God."

The others looked shocked.

If it's a God, could Jiang Chen be one too? Is there a deity hidden within his body?

Alice Winnie had said during the day that Wizards would definitely target Jiang Chen; the Dark Alliance would never allow such a powerful individual to exist. If the Dark Wizard had made a move, it was highly possible she had enraged a deity within Jiang Chen.

Alice Winnie shook her head. "Don't make wild guesses. Jiang Chen is not a God; he's a Swordsman. And he's not a divine incarnation, because Swordsmen don't have a God."

The others were puzzled.

Right! Swordsmen don't have a God, so Jiang Chen isn't a divine incarnation. Furthermore, there's never been any word of a God changing their class to become a Swordsman.

Alice Winnie continued, "Let's go back to sleep."

She stood up and left to do just that.

The others exchanged glances. With all this going on, you can still sleep?

Jiang Chen opened his eyes. Just moments ago, he had heard a roar that jolted him awake. But in reality, he hadn't heard any sound, nor had he felt any fluctuations.

He looked at Angelina, who was sound asleep.

Wow, she's sleeping like a log!

A commotion came from outside. Jiang Chen got up, walked out, and opened the door.

Arlene and the others stood at the doorway.

"Jiang Chen, did you hear something just now?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "It looks like you heard it too."

"It wasn't just us; others heard it too. We just don't know where the sound came from."

"I was asleep and suddenly woke up."

"Same here. I was having a lovely dream, and then I was awake. It was so sudden."

"Does anyone know who was roaring?"

Isabelle shook her head. "I was dreaming too, and then I woke up."

Arlene looked at Isabelle's flushed face and chuckled. "Were you having a lovely dream? Your face is all flushed, as if you're wearing blush. Dreaming about some man, were you?"

"Get lost! No, I wasn't."

"Still denying it? Anyone can tell you were thinking about a man. Don't go! Let's chat..."

"I'm going back to sleep. Stop bothering me."

BANG.

Isabelle slammed the door shut, wondering to herself, How could I have a dream like that? How did I end up with him? Oh my, that's... quite interesting...
