CHAPTER 1785: CHAPTER 861: REVERSAL OF OFFENSE AND DEFENSE_2

Perhaps it was Dushan Witch’s illusion; under the frantic pull of these two forces, the Magic Cottage seemed to appear double.

One was being dragged towards the Material Plane, while the other was being pulled in the direction of the Nightmare Dream Realm.

Boom!

Another force spread along the four Elemental Chains, seeming like a new chain, yet also like a path, welcoming the Magic Cottage back.

Divine Power! Road Divine Power!

The power possessed by the young Commander.

Though this Divine Power’s strength couldn’t compare to the four Elemental Chains, its specialty could not be matched by the latter.

Upon its appearance, the force pulling the Magic Cottage back reached an extreme.

Dushan Witch wasn’t seeing things; the Magic Cottage indeed split, forcefully pulled out by shadowy tentacles, the one yanked out was clearly not real, but composed of pure white mist, exuding an aura identical to the white mist chains binding the Nightmare Dream Realm.

The Dark Witch suddenly felt something was amiss, sensing she was being used.

Especially when Philancy appeared at the Magic Cottage’s door, waving farewell with a smile, this feeling intensified to an extreme.

From Philancy’s initial reminder to her to be aware of her situation, to the current wave of goodbye.

The entire process replayed in the Dushan Witch’s mind like a lightning flash, many unnoticed doubts surfaced one by one.

Had it not been for Philancy’s intentional appearance, she would never have discovered the Magic Cottage’s presence; Philancy had every opportunity to sneakily leave with the cottage, only realized too late.

In other words, everything was intentional.

Just to make her discover the Magic Cottage and launch an attack.

The purpose was obvious, to forcefully yank the power that was never part of Philancy’s Magic Cottage from within.

This meant Philancy was also a prisoner of that unknown presence, using Dushan’s hands to escape the shackles, while Dushan naively thought she captured Philancy.

Now, having realized the truth, it’s already too late.

The unshackled Magic Cottage swiftly vanished into the depths of the mist, without the chance to push the expelled power back in.

Conversely, the force dragging the Nightmare Dream Realm intensified to an extreme, pulling rapidly towards the depths of Ether Dreamland.

Dushan Witch, unable to muster external help, focused on herself, trying to locate the problem.

Dushan Witch involuntarily recalled Philancy’s words in her mind.

Not afraid of upset stomach?

Could it be the issue lies with those Terror Demons and Dark Callers?

They were part of the unknown presence, naturally becoming anchors nailed to the Nightmare Dream Realm once integrated.

Indeed, both their entry method into the realm and the Fear power they embodied bore great resemblance to that unknown existence.

If she just completely abandons and purges them, could she then escape the binding?

Resolving to act, Dushan Witch attempted to reverse the transformation process, expelling the Terror Demon Army and Dark Callers from the Nightmare Dream Realm.

However, she discovered it was easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.

Once a mental imprint has been affixed, it’s not easily undone.

Especially given her pervasive control over the Nightmare Dream Realm, was reliant upon these Terror Demons and Dark Callers.

Attempting to cleanse them would severely diminish her mastery over the realm.

Furthermore, these Terror Demons and Dark Callers possessed their own Will, refusing to be submissive.

Previously, their easy devouring by the Nightmare Shadow Tree was in their favor to annex the realm, welcoming Dushan Witch’s offer gladly.

Now, trying to expel them they naturally resist with all their might.

After repeated attempts, unable to find a way to free the Nightmare Dream Realm from shackles.

Dushan Witch reluctantly resolved to abandon the realm to preserve herself.

As long as she remains, there will be opportunities, whether rescuing the realm or seizing a new one from Laiserman Witch.

But upon actual attempts, she found herself unable to escape the Nightmare Shadow Tree; Terror Demons and Dark Callers entangled her tightly within the realm.

Now, she is indeed the ruler of the Nightmare Dream Realm, yet simultaneously its prisoner.

"No..." Dushan Witch let out a desperate howl.

Yet, unaware the more desperate, more struggling, more fearful she became.

The Half-Plane of Fear binding her grew stronger from her power; the shackles encasing her became ever more solid; the pull towards it strengthened.

By the time she realizes, it’s likely she’s already within the Half-Plane of Fear.
