Chapter 962 Infiltrating the Dream World
Lu Yu returned to the manor as quickly as he could.
After returning to the manor, Lu Yu climbed over the wall and came to Herke"s big villa.
However, the security here was strict. There was a group of guards surrounding the outside, making it impossible to enter from the front.
It was even impossible to find an opportunity to climb over the wall.
Lu Yu decided to return to the small villa in the backyard.
When he returned to the villa and went to the living room, he saw Shirley and the Empress lying in the living room. They looked exactly the same as when he left.
It seemed that Herke was too busy with his own matters to come here.
Lu Yu looked at the time. It was already midnight, so he quickly walked out of the villa.
After tonight, it was very likely that Elena would not survive.
Herke would definitely make a move tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have needed to drug Lu Yu. This would be alerting them in advance, which would only make things difficult for him in the future.
After Lu Yu walked out of the villa, he looked at the manor from afar. Looking at the people surrounding it, he felt the dilemma he was in.
He could ignore everything and barge in, but Herke had Elena under control. If he rushed in, Herke would definitely threaten Elena"s life.
Just as Lu Yu was thinking about how to rescue them, the Nightmare Dragon"s voice sounded in his mind.
"Master, perhaps you can use my power?"
"Your power? You mean, you want me to sneak into Elena"s dream and warn her?"
"That"s right. As long as she enters a dream, I have a way to wake her up."
Lu Yu nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let"s do it."
"Yes, Master. Raise your right hand."
Lu Yu raised his right hand and aimed it at the villa in front of him.
At this moment, Lu Yu"s arm began to change shape. After some morphing, Lu Yu"s right arm turned into the Nightmare Dragon Claw.
His nails turned pitch-black. There were no scales on the palm, only rough and hard skin. The dragon claw was dark purple. Compared to the other dragon claws, this one looked strange and gnarly.
After Lu Yu extended the dragon claw, a strange light shone on the villa.
Lu Yu heard the Nightmare Dragon"s voice in his head.
"Master, I"ve successfully entered Elena"s dream. Now, please close your eyes and let us enter the dream together."
Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.
Then, his consciousness appeared in another s.p.a.ce.
In this s.p.a.ce, he was in a boundless sea of flowers.
From afar, Lu Yu saw Elena running freely in the sea of flowers.
This was the dream that Elena had on the first night after she was rescued, related to her newly regained freedom.
Here, she ran freely with a happy smile on her face.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Nightmare Dragon"s huge body appeared beside Lu Yu and squatted in front of him.
"Master, leave the rest to me. I"ll frighten her."
"Don"t go too far. If it causes her any mental illness, it"ll be troublesome."
"Don"t worry, Master. I"ll be careful."
Boom!
The Nightmare Dragon flew up and spat out a ball of purple light in the direction of Elena.
Suddenly, the color of the sky changed and darkened, causing the place to turn gloomy and oppressive.
Elena, who was running, suddenly stopped and looked around with a confused expression.
Immediately after, a huge iron cage suddenly flew over from the sky and enveloped her.
Seeing the giant birdcage flying toward her, Elena was scared out of her wits and screamed.
She had finally regained her freedom, and she did not want to be imprisoned again.
She ran forward frantically, but no matter how fast she ran, she could not avoid the pursuit of the iron cage.
Fear gradually spread, making her face pale.
At the same time, in a secret room in the villa,
This secret room was airtight. There were no windows around, only a few dim candles as light.
Herke was wearing a black robe and holding the secret spell of the Blood Vampir, with Elena laying on a bed before him.
A sinister smile appeared on his face as he turned to look at the knife beside him.
"You came back just in time!"
"After tonight, you will be 18 years old. Give me your blood essence, and I will become a G.o.d!"
"At that time, how many people in the Ember Empire can be my match?"
"You will die, Elena. But since you can help me become a top cultivator, you won"t die in vain!"
He picked up the knife beside him and was ready to slash at Elena.
Just as he was about to raise his machete, he suddenly saw Elena"s legs moving.
Herke was stunned. "What"s going on?"
"My deug should still have three hours of effect. It shouldn"t be ineffective now!"
"I don"t care anymore. Since things have come to this, I"ll just take action. Strength, honor, wealth, and status are already beckoning to me!"
Swoosh!
Just as the knife was about to fall, Elena suddenly jolted.
At the same time, Herke"s body froze, and the knife in his hand hovered in the air.
"What is it? What... What"s going on?"
It wasn"t that he gave up, but a force was stopping him from swinging his knife down.
His eyes widened, and his expression turned into one of terror as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
He looked down and saw that Elena, who was lying on the bed, had opened her eyes.
At the same time, a blue light shot out of her eyes.
Her body emitted a dazzling light.
All sorts of strange-shaped runes appeared on the surface of her body, glowing bright blue.
"What…This... What"s going on?"
Herke was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what was happening.
Elena was supposed to be unconscious, but she opened her eyes.
She had even completed her awakening!
Herke naturally knew what it meant for Elena to complete her awakening.
Although he had only heard of her special spirit body from a certain mage, he had never doubted its strength.
Once her spirit body awakened, Elena would definitely be able to kill him instantly, leaving nothing behind.
Therefore, he was afraid that Elena would wake up, as it meant he was in danger.
"What are you doing to me?" At this moment, Elena, who was lying on the bed, looked at Herke and asked coldly, "Cousin, what are you doing to me?"
At this moment, Herke maintained the posture of holding his knife.
With this action, even a fool could tell what he was trying to do.
Elena sat up and looked into Herke"s eyes.
"Cousin, are you going to kill me?"
Elena"s expression was indifferent, and she didn"t have the friendly smile she had during the day.
