Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 394 Drama

The storm of the mind swept over everything around, and all creatures that heard the dragon's roar inevitably exhibited various abnormal states, either standing frozen in place trembling, or blindly and irrationally fleeing to corners.

Ordinary viewers would not be able to watch the entire performance; even extraordinary individuals would only descend into mental frenzy and madness upon seeing the incomplete dragon form.

But it doesn't matter, apart from the audience arranged by Klein, all the priests and believers in the Dream Church are also spectators of this performance.

—In the dreamlike church, they will not go insane from seeing incomplete mythical creature forms.

As both performer and murderer, Klein was naturally the primary target of this psychological storm.

His spirit and mind were eroded by the mental storm, which manifested directly in reality as a stormy celestial phenomenon.

However, Klein's eyes remained bright, showing no sign of confusion or wavering.

"Are you trying to use the power of the illusory world to sway me?"

The ocean of the collective unconscious is the home ground for "manipulators" to launch attacks, but times have changed. This is the realm of illusion, the home ground for extraordinary individuals who have mastered the "dream" pathway!

With a thought, Klein mobilized the power of the Illusionary Realm. After becoming a "Favored One of Cause and Effect," he was already able to use the power of the Illusionary Realm in reality.

Herwin Lambis was trying to corrupt Klein's mind and subconscious, attempting to alter his thoughts. However, at that moment, he directly encountered the power of the Illusionary Realm!

It was a dazzling, clear light, full of a sacred and dreamlike aura, unshakable, and instead carrying a kind of purifying power.

"Ah!" Herwin Lambis's own mental body suffered oppressive damage.

To try and break through the illusion with one's own mind is beyond the description of throwing an egg against a rock.

"Retreat!" Herwin Lambis retreated decisively, and the massive dragon body vanished instantly, leaving no trace even of the spirit thread.

"Psychology invisibly!"

The lines of the spirit can be hidden, but the lines of cause and effect cannot.

Klein twitched his fingers slightly, pulling on the causal thread belonging to Herwin Lambis as if plucking a string on a musical instrument.

hum!

The causal lines trembled violently, and Herwin Rambis fell directly out of stealth.

"What is this thing?" Herwin Lambis roared. For a moment, his mind went blank, and he almost lost control of his mythical creature form, falling into a tragic state of being out of control!

"Let's start dancing," Klein said with a smile.

At that moment, his dozen or so paper puppets all made their moves simultaneously.

There are fifteen paper figures in total, representing various enemies that Klein has encountered, such as Chunus Korger in military uniform. The last time this general attacked Klein, he secretly "mirrored" him and turned him into a paper figure.

There were also Klein's friends, such as his three former teammates.

In addition, there are these fairy tale princesses who are proficient in black magic.

One thing is certain: even the weakest among them has the combat power of Sequence 5, and there are also two demigod-level combat power.

"Magnify!" The power of the paper doll Chunus Korg is enough to amplify the attack of one of the paper dolls to the level of a demigod!

"Possession!" The paper doll Sharon caused Herwin Lambis's power to freeze.

However, before the possession was fully completed, the "manipulator" realized a great danger when an ice-blue metal cylinder appeared in the dragon's claw.

"Rotten shooting star!"

This is a sealed artifact related to the starry sky, and Klein has been on guard ever since he learned of its existence from Arodes.

Rat-a-tat... Metal bullets shot out from the metal cylinder, raining down on Klein's body!

Klein snapped his fingers, and Snow White, skilled in dark magic, scattered a shower of brilliant sparks across the square. Klein then moved freely through these sparks, approaching Herwin Lambis.

Hmm... these princesses all possess certain stage magic, which can make this drama even more exciting.

*Snap!* Klein emerged from the dazzling display of lights and grabbed Herwin Lambis's spirit thread.

"This is... a puppet... a master!" Herwin Lambis felt a stagnation in his body and spirit.

The possession by the "puppet" is nearing completion.

His movements gradually stiffened, and he fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

"Is it okay...?" Klein was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he sensed something was wrong.

His powerful spirituality surged suddenly, like an ocean encountering a storm.

"Mental plague?" Klein immediately thought of the high-sequence abilities of the "audience" pathway.

This is one of the "Manipulator's" strongest skills. Klein had suppressed Herwin Rambis many times before, but he was still affected when he couldn't sense it.

"It's distance!" Klein was now very close to Herwin Lambis.

Without a doubt, this "manipulator" planted a "mental plague" on himself. When an enemy gets close enough to him, this plague will take effect and affect his mental state!

The demigods in the "audience" are indeed formidable... For ordinary demigods, "mental plague" is a terrifying killing move because it weakens people's rationality and pushes them toward losing control.

However, because of their divinity, demigods are not as mentally stable as before and are prone to losing control.

But Klein wouldn't. Since becoming a "Dream" Path Beyonder, he has developed an extremely high resistance to losing control!

Under this outbreak of "mental plague," Klein was only confused for a second.

However, the attacks of those paper dolls were slowed down, giving Herwin Rambis an opportunity.

Roar!

"Dragon's Might!"

A soul-shaking roar pounded towards Klein, but having broken free from the "mental plague," he paid no heed to the dragon's might. He raised his hand and once again manipulated Herwin Lambis's spiritual threads.

"What?!" Klein's mental resilience in forcefully breaking free from the "mental plague" startled the "manipulator".

Even the strongest methods couldn't do anything to him, and other abilities like hypnosis were even more useless!

This is equivalent to crippling the "audience's" most powerful force.

"Run!" Herwin Rambis didn't want to stay any longer, or he would die!

Dragons are powerful in melee combat, but they lack the necessary skills, so they are not among the choices.

Herwin Lambis directly communicated with the power of the Illusionary Realm, intending to use it for long-distance teleportation.

"I've been waiting for you!" Klein's eyes lit up.

The "manipulator" can borrow the power of the illusionary realm, but he is a "favored one of cause and effect"!

The incomplete dragon's body tore open a crack that shimmered with dreamlike light, and it crashed directly into it.
