Chapter 1779: Chapter 859: Legendary Arcane—Raef’s Woven Mystlock (2)

Moreover, the situation in the Nightmare Dream Realm is difficult to explain clearly for the moment, and when faced with threats, they naturally resist instinctively.

Even if they were informed in advance, they might not be willing to cooperate with the Dushan Witch and voluntarily transform themselves into Nightmare Creatures.

In reality, they might be fearless, seeing death as an honor.

But that doesn’t mean they do not fear their souls being imprisoned, controlled, or toyed with.

Many are fearless in reality just to avoid their souls falling into such a predicament as now.

In an instant, the entire Nightmare Dream Realm turned into a huge battlefield in chaos, slowly slipping from the control of the Dushan Witch. She had to draw another Shadow Army from the Nightmare Shadow Tree to suppress the Laiserman Berserkers and the Tukan Golden Tent Soldiers.

This was undoubtedly a desperate measure.

With the withdrawal of the two Shadow Armies, the darkness atop the Nightmare Shadow Tree noticeably dimmed, revealing much of the original earth color.

A shadowy figure stealthily appeared beneath the Nightmare Shadow Tree. By the time the Dushan Witch noticed, he had already pulled out an earth-colored orb and pressed it against the Nightmare Shadow Tree.

The Dushan Witch screeched: “Gaven Nort, of course, it’s you causing trouble, I should have known! Only you know so many secrets of the Nightmare Dream Realm, you damn scoundrel! What are you up to this time? Get out of my dream realm!”

“I’ve seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as you. Just because a thief lived in the master’s house for a while, doesn’t mean it becomes theirs.”

Seeing his cover blown, Gaven stopped hiding his identity, sped up, and directly pressed the earth-colored orb into the Nightmare Shadow Tree, loudly saying, “Earth Spirit Lord, how long do you plan to sleep? Are you really content to be someone else’s puppet and tool?”

As the earth-colored orb entered the Nightmare Shadow Tree, it immediately began to shake violently, the earth color surging continuously, as if trying to break free from the black bindings, to emerge from within.

“Those stubborn and outdated sisters of mine actually allowed you to bring in the soul consciousness of the Earth Spirit Sisters. Are you not afraid I’ll completely defile it and have her join my ranks?” screamed the Dushan Witch in utter incredulity.

Although she had invaded the Totem Lands of the Earth Spirit Witch, she hadn’t been able to fully bring it into her camp because the Laiserman Witches had timely sealed the Earth Spirit Witch, severing the connection between the Totem Lands and the soul consciousness, leaving her unable to further this cause, nor revive the Earth Spirit Witch within the Nightmare Shadow Tree.

Logically, they should have kept the Earth Spirit Witch as far from her Totem Lands as possible, until they could recapture it and completely purify it.

This act of sending back the soul consciousness before the Totem Lands of the Earth Spirit Witch was purified is extremely unconventional and comes with immense risk.

“Do you think you have time?” Gaven replied with a smile, “The last time, you succeeded in ambushing the Earth Spirit Lord because you seized the initiative. But this time, it’s our turn—Destroy Evil!”

Dazzling white light burst forth from Gaven’s hand, starting from the point of contact, wildly spreading along the Nightmare Shadow Tree. It was not white light but flaming flames.

Ah! Awooo! Hou!

Where the white flames passed, the black mist sizzled as it burned, with many Shadows not retreating in time, directly becoming fuel, incinerated entirely.

Many more, without the Dushan Witch’s orders, sprang out from the Nightmare Shadow Tree.

Gaven had known long ago that the ability Destroy Evil could be used as a weapon.

The reason for rarely using this ability was that it was a sustained casting ability; for it to be fully effective, the enemy must not resist the power burning forth.

Thus, it was undeniably impractical.

Yet when targeting the immobile Nightmare Shadow Tree, it became undeniably a Divine Artifact.

As the purification flames targeting evil started burning, they became unstoppable. It didn’t take long for the whole Nightmare Shadow Tree to be engulfed in raging fire.

The Shadows residing there had only two choices: leave as quickly as possible or become fuel for its flames.

The slightly intelligent Shadows chose the first option, gathering into groups and involuntarily circling the Nightmare Shadow Tree, like birds from a burning nest.

Leading the flight was a gigantic Shadow Dragon, who could only be the Dushan Witch, diving towards Gaven while roaring: “I want to kill you!”

At this moment, the Dushan Witch’s hatred for Gaven far surpassed any other.

This maneuver of his had completely taken her by surprise.

Without the Shadow Army’s overrun Nightmare Shadow Tree, is it still a Nightmare Tree?

This was the perfect strategy of cutting off resources at their source.

This was indeed the key to his entire plan.

Whether it was the maker of the Ether Portal or the Terror Demon Army, they were all distractions to draw her attention, while purifying the Nightmare Shadow Tree and the Totem Lands of the Earth Spirit Witch was his true intention.

Though she figured out everything, it was already too late.
