Chapter 178: No Brains, No Fear of Mental Attacks

Chapter 178 No Brain, No Fear of Mental Attacks

Crack!

Li Wei held a great sword forged from flames, cleaving heaven and earth.

The twisted dreams shattered.

Flying out of the dream bubble, Li Wei quickly returned to normal.

The dream bubble that should have vanished after shattering now resembled a deformed tumor.

Firmly lodged within the dream world, refusing to disperse.

Zzzzt!

The black dream bubble was attempting to repair itself.

Li Wei glanced at it, then turned and left.

He walked briskly through the mist, searching for Gu Ze's dream bubble.

"Damn, I'm too late!"

Li Wei saw that Gu Ze's dream bubble had already been dyed black.

For these black twisted dreams, he could not clear them either.

Li Wei did not want Gu Ze to be brainwashed by the Evil God cultists.

The only way was to find the source of the black qi.

As long as the source of the black qi was resolved, the black qi could not continue to erode the dreams.

Li Wei looked up; the black qi drifted from ahead.

He hurried forward toward the source of the black qi.

After passing several eroded dream bubbles, he finally saw the source of the black qi.

A dream bubble that had completely turned black.

This was no longer a dream bubble; Li Wei felt the black dream before him had become a living creature.

Just looking at it gave him the illusion of being swallowed.

Ahead was like a black hole; approaching it would mean sinking into it, doomed forever.

Li Wei gathered strength and threw a super fireball from afar.

The fireball hit the black dream and disappeared without a trace.

Not a single sound came out.

The earth-shattering power of the super fireball could do nothing to the black dream.

Attacked, the black dream surged, with numerous tentacles appearing on its surface.

A huge eye drilled out from within the dream.

The black-red pupil stared fixedly at Li Wei.

A strong sense of dizziness and attraction came over him.

Li Wei walked toward the black dream involuntarily.

By the time he reacted, he had already walked to the front of the black dream.

Dozens of tentacles swung toward him, wanting to grab him into the black dream to be eroded.

Li Wei cast the Illusion Form Technique.

Flames transformed into a great sword in his hand, mental energy acting as a sharp blade, cutting off the approaching tentacles.

He was ultimately a mage, not a warrior.

Attacked from all sides, unable to hold back, he was forced to be dragged into the black dream.

In an instant, a strong sense of nausea struck.

Li Wei felt himself swallowed into a pile of slippery, oily organs.

"Explode!"

The fireball detonated, firelight dispelling the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.

Li Wei saw a mage tower appearing before his eyes.

The Mage Tower of Maple Leaf City.

Once symbolizing knowledge and power, the mage tower had now become a demon cave.

Countless black qi rose from within it.

It looked like a giant meat pillar constantly spewing black qi.

The ground also turned into a soft meat carpet, the carpet strewn with meat threads, resembling countless tiny tentacles.

The meat threads kept spreading toward Li Wei's direction, wrapping around his body, wanting to pull him into merging with this meat carpet.

"Is this the source?"

Li Wei looked to the left.

A large patch of meat carpet on the left was scorched black.

That was the damage caused by the explosion of the super fireball.

The black dream did not neutralize Li Wei's attack as easily as it appeared from the outside.

The attack caused some damage to the black dream.

But compared to this huge dream, these injuries were insignificant.

Li Wei understood that with his own power, he could not destroy the entire dream.

He did not need to destroy the dream; he just needed to deal with the master of the dream.

If the Dream Master died, the dream would naturally dissipate.

Originally, Li Wei was still somewhat worried.

Worried that the Dream Master's consciousness was clear, possessing absolute control over the dream.

In that case, there was no way he could defeat him within the other party's dream realm.

But now it seemed the other party's consciousness was not quite clear.

Otherwise, the moment he entered the dream, he would have suffered fierce attacks.

Right, under the erosion of black qi, humans cannot maintain normal sanity.

Since they cannot maintain sanity, they cannot stay awake, cannot dominate the dream.

Although the opponent has some advantages within their own dream, they are not invincible.

"Flame Armor!"

The product of the fusion between Fireball Spell and Invisible Armor.

The armor on Li Wei's body burned fiercely, scorching the meat threads approaching nearby.

Meat strips scorched, releasing a pungent odor.

The Origin Heart necklace crafted from Fire Spirit Beads glowed upon his chest.

This was the ace up Li Wei's sleeve to dare battle within the foe's dream.

The Dream Lord's power within his own realm was nearly boundless.

Possessing the Fire Spirit Bead necklace meant Li Wei held pseudo-infinite mana briefly.

Barely sufficient to resist.

Enough to avoid being exhausted or dragged to death.

Li Wei approached the tower twisted into a fleshy chimney column.

The tower now resembled a colossal black sea cucumber, riddled with holes, contracting and expanding as black vapor gushed ceaselessly from within.

Boom!

A fireball detonated the tower door, letting Li Wei glimpse the interior.

Inside the hall, figures in black robes circled the center, the ground around them painted with eerie symbols.

None of these people reacted to Li Wei's presence.

Only the central figure lifted his gaze to meet him.

Li Wei could not discern his features; churning black mist lurked beneath the black cowl.

The robed man rose, his voice grating like fingernails on glass.

"So someone managed to arrive here."

The robed man eyed Li Wei, raised a hand, and black vapor surged aggressively toward him.

"Blaze Impact!"

A torrent of raging fire spewed forth.

Flame clashed with black vapor, igniting a violent detonation.

Boom!

Amidst the blast, Li Wei formed a charged fireball with his right hand.

Whoosh!

The fireball was hurled away, vanishing obscured by the flames.

Li Wei's fire ultimately proved inferior to the opponent's dark mist.

An overwhelming tide of black mist crashed down like a towering wave.

Its force was staggering.

Li Wei dared not allow the mist to touch his skin.

"Raid Storm!"

A gale erupted from before him.

Sweeping the mist, blowing the black fog into disarray.

Raid Storm was Wick's signature technique.

Li Wei had mastered it as well.

Boom!

The concealed charged fireball reached the robed man's side and detonated violently.

The explosion's brilliance drowned out every robed figure in the hall.

Suddenly, the blinding light froze like a glitched frame, halting completely.

Flickered a few times, then blacked out.

The firelight disappeared, Li Wei's vision submerged in darkness.

"Damn, Sight Severance!"

Li Wei grasped the opponent's technique instantly.

Stripping an enemy of sight was trivial for a Dream Lord.

Li Wei felt alarm, recognizing the severity of the predicament.

The foe appeared to retain full control over the dream.

Realizing this, Li Wei acted without hesitation.

"Fire Release!"

Jets of flame erupted.

Li Wei shot backward out of the tower without pause.

He must escape the dream.

Otherwise, victory was impossible.

Yet no matter how he flew, he could not exit the dream.

The dream expanded infinitely.

Seeing this, Li Wei resorted to his final trump card.

"Elemental Form!"

Whoosh!

Li Wei's head transformed into a burning fireball via elementalization.

Sight Severance, nullified.

Without a brain, immunity to psychic assaults.
