Chapter 180: Dream Weaver's Dimensional Strike

Chapter 180 The Dimensional Strike of the Dream Weaver

Li Wei looked up, gazing at the giant single eye suspended in midair.

His mind was unsettled.

The dream had spawned an autonomous consciousness.

The consciousness of the dream was observing Li Wei.

What Li Wei had done inadvertently helped perfect the newly born autonomous consciousness of the dream.

After absorbing the scattered consciousness of the black-robed figure, the dream consciousness gradually became complete.

Li Wei felt the situation was extremely thorny.

To deal with the black-robed figure, destroying his body would only cause him to temporarily lose control over the dream.

He could then seize control of the dream and force the dream bubble to self-destruct.

But the dream bubble had spawned an autonomous consciousness.

Li Wei could not snatch away the control.

He would have to use his own power to destroy the entire dream bubble.

Only then could he destroy the source of the black qi.

With Li Wei's current strength, he simply could not achieve this.

They were not on the same scale at all.

The only way for Li Wei to destroy the dream bubble was to use the dream bubble's own power to self-destruct.

That move could not be used now.

He had no other options either.

"Is there nothing left but to watch helplessly as their minds are eroded by the Evil God cultists?"

Li Wei felt unwilling to accept this in his heart.

A name suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Toresta.

"If you truly are a Sleepwalker as well, why do you still not act?"

Li Wei was puzzled in his heart.

If Toresta were also a Sleepwalker, with his strength he would definitely discover the shocking change happening inside the Mage Tower.

He could create Illusion Shaping techniques.

Bringing dream creations into reality.

His power within the dream was certainly not to be underestimated.

Dealing with a black cultist who was barely stronger than Li Wei would be more than enough.

Yet, why had they not seen Toresta act until now?

"If there is no way, then I can only do this."

Li Wei still had one last method in his heart.

If one cannot fight, then one must hide.

Take Gu Ze, Luo Ta, and others and hide inside the Wanderer Society's dream bubble.

Considering Gu Ze and Luo Ta and others were not Sleepwalkers.

Rashly taking them out of the dream bubble to go to the Wanderer Society.

Might lead to them getting completely lost in the dream, unable to return to reality.

Eventually becoming Soulless Ones.

Without reaching the final step, Li Wei did not want to use this method either.

He currently had no way to return to reality.

Otherwise, a better method would be to wake the sleeping crowd.

But all these methods were inferior choices.

The optimal choice was to clear all black qi within the dream and resolve the source of the black qi.

Li Wei had almost achieved it.

The single eye in midair seemed to have observed enough.

The dream consciousness began to launch an attack against Li Wei.

Li Wei braced himself as if facing a great enemy.

Suddenly, the eyeball of the dream consciousness in midair trembled violently, turning toward a direction.

Li Wei followed the direction of the eyeball's turn to look.

A point of white light appeared in the pitch-black dream.

Immediately after, the white light penetrated the entire dream, drowning Li Wei's consciousness.

In an instant, Li Wei lost consciousness.

His mind went blank.

When he came to his senses, everything around him had changed.

The twisted black dream disappeared without a trace.

He stood on the plaza before the Mage Tower, everything restored to normal.

The dream was collapsing.

The Mage Tower shattered and dissipated bit by bit.

The black qi polluting the mind disappeared without a trace.

"What just happened?"

Li Wei's heart was filled with doubt.

He only remembered seeing a beam of white light.

Then, everything ended.

Leaving the collapsing dream bubble, Li Wei found himself back upon the River of Dreams.

He looked down.

The dream river water beneath his feet seemed polluted, presenting the form of black muddy water.

However, under the effect of a mysterious power.

The black muddy water was constantly shrinking, finally disappearing. The dream river water returned to normal.

The dream bubble also returned to normal.

The sound of treading on water drifted over.

Li Wei turned his head to look.

A figure impressed itself upon his vision.

He revealed a look of surprise.

Li Wei stirred his spirit, cast the Phantom Form Technique, and a black iron mask covered his face.

Concealing his identity.

After Li Wei spotted Tanya, only then did Tanya spot Li Wei.

Tanya looked at him in surprise, "It is you?"

Li Wei asked in confusion, "What?"

Tanya spoke, "The Wanderer Society tasked us to seek abnormal fluctuations within dreams. They stated that portions of the dreams have encountered issues."

"Did you do this?" Tanya asked.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, you arrived too late."

He pointed at the black qi that was nearly completely vanished.

"This is the source of the anomaly."

Tanya glanced at it, revealing a solemn expression.

"Black Cultists?"

"It seems Black Cultists are holding an Evil God sacrifice ritual within Maple City," Tanya thought.

Seeing her reaction, Li Wei knew Tanya must be relatively familiar with this matter.

He asked, "How did these polluted dreams recover on their own?"

Tanya shook her head and said, "No, it was the Dreamweavers of the Wanderer Society who intervened."

"Dreamweavers?"

Li Wei heard the title of Dreamweavers once again.

Dreamweavers could actually directly rewrite dreams.

Such ability is simply unimaginable.

The Dream Consciousness had already fully mastered the power of dreams.

Within the dream bubble it inhabited, it ought to have been an invincible existence.

Alas, it encountered the dimensional strike of the Dreamweaver.

It was like a player who was already invincible in the game, only to encounter a GM performing a one-click rollback.

Completely not opponents on the same level.

The crisis of the Mage Tower could be considered concluded for now.

Tanya produced a Soul Crystal, gathered a wisp of black qi, and prepared to return it to complete the mission.

"If there is nothing else, I shall depart."

"Farewell."

The two shared no deep connection, nor did they speak much.

Tanya returned to the Wanderer Society with the mission item.

Li Wei waited for her departure, then returned to the safe house.

This time he activated the Great Dream Roaming Heaven Technique.

Successfully detached from the dream world, returning to reality.

Li Wei had just opened his eyes when he heard the sound of combat coming from outside.

He hurriedly moved to the window.

Several figures in black robes were being besieged and hunted by magic puppets.

Already, quite a few corpses of those in black robes lay scattered around.

Even without the Dreamweaver intervening, the Mage Tower's magic puppets could slaughter all the Black Cultists.

Whether they could rescue everyone remained unclear.

At least, currently, the impact of this crisis on the Mage Tower was not as significant as Li Wei had imagined.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Magic Badge vibrated.

The voice of the Magic Butler emanated from within.

"The Mage Tower has been attacked by Black Cultists, and some mages have been affected. To ensure safety within the Mage Tower, please all mages gather on the third floor of the Mage Tower tomorrow morning at eight o'clock for a spiritual test."

"The Mage Tower will assist affected personnel in returning to normal, so please do not worry."

Li Wei watched as two of the robed men died and one fled.

The magic puppets were clearing the battlefield, finishing off anyone not yet dead.

No mercy is required for Black Cultists.

Nor is capture necessary.

Execute on the spot!

Ordinary Black Cultists yield no useful information upon interrogation.

They are merely ordinary people brainwashed and granted evil supernatural powers.

They do not even qualify as supernatural practitioners.

Li Wei went out to find Gu Ze.

Knock knock knock!

"Teacher Gu Ze, are you alright?"

Li Wei asked while knocking on the door.

Moments later, the door opened, and Gu Ze, looking haggard, stepped out.

He looked at Li Wei with a peculiar expression.

"I seem to have recalled some things."
