Chapter 88: Meiesa's Nightmare

"Ah!"

With a startled cry, Meiesa abruptly woke.

Just as she was about to catch her breath, Meiesa immediately sensed something was wrong.

"I'm not on the ship, I'm..."

When Meiesa looked around, her body stiffened, and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart.

"This... how is this possible?" Meiesa exclaimed.

Behold, the environment Meiesa was in was unmistakably the small second-floor room at 155 Old Stone Street in Sog Ruins City.

A small wooden bed, a cabinet, abstract paintings on the wall that were hard to understand, as well as windows, a wooden door, and so on.

Everything was exactly the same as 155 Old Stone Street in Sog Ruins City.

It was as if Meiesa had returned to Old Stone Street.

Only...

Outside, it seemed to be drizzling.

Meiesa walked over and looked out the window, seeing a drizzling rain of blood and a blood-red sky that seemed to boil and burn like blood.

The world outside the window was filled with indescribably bizarre fragments falling intermittently from the sky.

And the ground was covered with all kinds of chilling debris.

"Is this a dream... or?"

Meiesa tried her best to steady her mind.

"If it's just a dream, without the ability to dream, I wouldn't have such clear self-awareness."

"And if it's not a dream, how could I appear in such a terrifying and bizarre environment?"

"Even... I can feel that the air is filled with some kind of peculiar substance and energy that makes my heart palpitate. If I get contaminated, I'm afraid I'll need the Mother Goddess to help me expel it."

"What the hell... is going on?"

Just as Meiesa was at a loss in the small room,

"Bang bang bang..."

A knock sounded.

"Meiesa, Old Man Cohen wants to see you."

The voice came, it was Gune's voice, which she was very familiar with.

"Gune..."

Immediately, Meiesa became alert.

The battle back then was still vivid in Meiesa's memory.

There was no doubt that Gune was powerful, even a very terrifying individual.

Even in a one-on-one fight, with her lord's human body, she might not be his match.

Later, she had investigated a lot of information about Gune.

But the conclusion she reached was quite surprising: this seemingly ordinary Gune actually possessed such terrifying strength as a spellcaster.

If there was an explanation, it was that this Gune was a super genius spellcaster.

Even recently, when there were rumors about a super caster appearing on the sea, she vaguely guessed it was that Gune Lawrence.

Although she didn't know why she appeared in the room at 155 Old Stone Street in this bizarre dream,

And that Gune also appeared here.

But without a doubt, something was definitely wrong.

Meiesa immediately tried to use her attack ability to break the window and escape.

But when she attacked the window, she found that her human-faced flower ability couldn't be used, and her body was also quite weak.

This scene made her feel even more bizarre.

So she clenched her fist.

And slammed it hard against the unbreakable window glass.

"Bang bang bang..."

However, this effort to smash the glass not only failed to break it but also made quite a noise.

"Meiesa, what are you doing? Come out quickly." The voice outside seemed a bit impatient.

Meiesa continued to smash the glass, ignoring the voice outside.

But no matter how hard she tried, the glass was like a thick wall, impossible to break.

Just as Meiesa was about to look for another exit,

"Bang!"

The wooden door of the small room suddenly exploded.

Wood chips flew everywhere as she saw Gune standing at the door with a ferocious expression.

"Meiesa, you're definitely up to something. I knew you wanted to escape."

As he spoke, Gune lunged at her.

Gune was incredibly fast, and the weakened Meiesa didn't even have time to react before Gune grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall.

The powerful force from Gune's hands almost crushed Meiesa's neck.

"You can't escape, Meiesa. You'll never escape."

Gune's face twisted as he roared maniacally.

"This is an eternal curse, this is a supreme cage. Endless nightmares will haunt you, hehehe... You'll never escape..." Bizarre laughter mixed with terror exploded before Meiesa's eyes and in her mind.

"Bang!"

Meiesa was brutally crushed by Gune.

With Meiesa's death, her body quickly dissipated, and a blood crystal the size of a fingernail fell out.

And Gune, who had killed Meiesa, his ferocious and twisted face gradually returned to normal.

Gune smiled, flipped his hand, and took the blood crystal into his palm.

"A terrifying nightmare cage, this is really a good idea!" Gune muttered to himself.

Using the "Blood Source War Space" to constantly wear down enemies was simple.

But if it was just to wear them down, the goal was too direct. Once the enemy knew, they would certainly try to hinder and resist.

More importantly, killing each person one by one would be too troublesome for Gune himself.

When there were few enemies, it didn't matter, but when there were many, Gune would definitely be overwhelmed.

Combining many elements from his previous life, such as dreams, cages, arenas, etc.,

Gune discovered a new way to use the [Blood Source · Great Blood Sky Dream Curse].

That was to use the Blood Source War Space to construct a massive "Blood Source Cage Arena."

He would pull enemies in and let them fight among themselves.

They would slaughter each other while Gune watched and reaped the benefits.

Even, Gune could give the victor a small reward, making everyone fight for that final little reward.

This "Blood Source War Space" was originally meant for battle, and now developing it into a dream arena was simply perfect.

Of course, Gune's strength was still weak, and he couldn't yet build a massive dream arena to pull people in for battle.

As the level of [Blood Source · Great Blood Sky Dream Curse] continuously increased,

Gune believed he could completely establish a huge dream arena, pulling those evil beings into this Blood Source Cage to fight.

Improving innate talents was even harder than improving secret pattern spells.

When Gune digested the corpse of the Death Beast, he clearly knew that the Death Beast leader had trained the Black Annihilation Arrow for over ten years, yet it was still only at level one, still some distance from level two.

Moreover, its limit was only to cultivate this innate talent to the third level; with opportunities, it could reach the fourth level, which was already the upper limit of its class barrier for cultivating this talent.

But for Gune,

With the idle system in hand,

This [Blood Source · Great Blood Sky Dream Curse], levels three or four, were just a piece of cake.

There was no barrier at all; as long as he idled, he could keep leveling up.

When it reached level seven or eight, or even level ten,

Gune would become a powerful sovereign-level existence in the Blood Dream World.

Moreover, through the creativity and practice of building the "Blood Dream Arena," it would also give Gune a method to infinitely expand his blood pool.

And this Meiesa was the first step in Gune's experiment.

As Gune looked over his Blood Dream Arena,

On the Sea Demon Ship in the mist of the distant sea,

"You'll never escape..."

Layer upon layer of murmuring like sleep talk, along with terrifying images, exploded deep in Meiesa's soul.

"Ah!"

With a scream, Meiesa woke up.

"Huff... puff..."

Breathing a bit rapidly and heavily, Meiesa looked around in panic.

Seeing the small room on the Sea Demon Ship,

This calmed Meiesa down a little.

"What happened? Was that a nightmare? Or did it really happen?"

Having had no sleepiness to begin with, after this bizarre nightmare, Meiesa had even less desire to sleep.

She pushed open the window to let the sea breeze in.

The slightly humid and misty sea breeze blew in, making Meiesa much more clear-headed.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Meiesa noticed something was slightly off.

"Why has my blood energy decreased?"

"Could it be... related to that bizarre nightmare?"

"Is this... related to that Gune?"

Looking at the faintly misty sea surface, Meiesa fell into deep thought.
