This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

Flora appeared in front of them at that moment.

"Um... cough cough... oh, you two beauties, were you looking for me?"

Flora was also trying her best to imitate the Abyss, but unlike the Abyss, she wasn't embarrassed and spoke in a way that made her quite shy. But for the sake of the Abyss's plan, she knew she had to put on a convincing act.

Donna and Lillian simultaneously turned their gazes to Flora. After a brief moment of confusion, their eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent. Magical daggers materialized in their hands, and their bodies swiftly merged into the shadows as they charged towards Flora.

"I succeeded!" Flora thought to herself with secret joy and immediately began to flee.

Now possessing the power of the Abyss, Flora easily used wind magic to lift herself up and escape at an incredible speed. Flora didn't know the incantation for wind magic, but in a dream, she didn't need to know the details. All she needed to know was that the Abyss used wind magic, and that she wanted to use wind magic like the Abyss.

Flora fled quickly, but Donna and Lillian were just as fast in pursuit. Their movements in the shadows were so unpredictable that Flora couldn't quite keep up.

bass!

A magical dagger appeared instantly beside Flora's ear. Flora's reaction speed wasn't as fast as others, but it wasn't weak either. The moment the dagger appeared, her figure vanished from her original spot and reappeared in another place.

She was using spatial magic, of course. As for the instability of spatial magic, there was no need to worry about that now, because within this dream, as long as Flora didn't want to fail, the spatial magic wouldn't fail.

"They're so fast..." Flora, who wasn't good at fighting, was secretly amazed by Donna and Lillian's speed.

These two assassins are considered among the top assassins on the continent. However, as puppets of the evil god, their target is the Abyss, which prevents them from fully utilizing their abilities and makes them appear weak. Now it seems that if they wanted to, very few people on the continent could escape their pursuit.

Flora wasted no time and headed straight for the fortress in the distance.

Donna and Lillian's daggers appeared around Flora time and again, and Flora dodged their attacks by changing her tactics. She knew that these two outstanding assassins would not fall for the same move repeatedly, so she used spatial magic, bone armor, and aura dashes in a seemingly random manner to evade them, making it impossible for her enemies to guess her pattern.

Flora got closer and closer to the fortress. The fortress, which could only be seen in the distance before, gradually revealed its outline through the towering trees.

"Flora, come in quickly."

The Abyss's voice appeared in Flora's mind at that moment. The Abyss was now in a dream, so the voice was naturally calling to Flora.

Upon hearing the Abyss's voice, Flora, having personally experienced the battle, completely forgot her initial tension. She accelerated again, plunging headlong into the dilapidated fortress with a gaping hole in its gate.

Donna and Lillian caught up, but instead of immediately following Flora inside, they hesitated outside the door.

"Hey beauties, why aren't you chasing me anymore? If you want to kill me, you'll have to take the initiative." Flora mimicked Abyss's usual leisurely yet slightly cheeky tone, peeking out from the gap in the door and saying with a smile.

Donna and Lillian exchanged a glance, then surprisingly split up and charged forward in two groups. Donna chased after Flora towards the gate, while Lillian took a detour, intending to enter the fortress from another location.

In such a building, being sandwiched between two people can cause greater damage, and these two assassins were well aware of this principle.

"Very good! Flora, ensure your safety and head towards the fortress! It's right in the very center!"

Abyss also gave timely instructions at this moment.

The fortress they are in now is actually the very fortress where Sophia and her companions were commissioned to assassinate the Lord of Delusion! And the role Abyss is now playing is none other than the Lord of Delusion!

Chapter 206 The Abyss's Bloody Methods

After Flora brought Donna and Lillian into the fortress, the Abyss's voice came from Flora's mind again.

"Now all you need to do is get close to me, and then let those two kill me. Our plan will be a success."

Flora, upon hearing Abyss's words, suddenly became worried. She immediately replied, "But this dream is one I created, and you are in it. If you are killed in this dream, it will likely cause you great harm. I cannot take that risk!"

The dreams woven by the Lord of Nightmares are incredibly powerful. Aside from Flora, the creator of the dreams, anyone who dies within them will suffer a tremendous mental shock in reality. Ordinary people will die instantly, and even someone as mentally strong as the Abyss will be severely injured, enduring inhuman pain and unable to wake up for at least ten days to two weeks.

Flora certainly didn't want Abyss to suffer like that; if she could, she wouldn't want Abyss to get hurt even a little bit.

"Are you worried about that?" Abyss replied with a smile. "It's alright, Flora. Just listen to me. I won't risk my safety unless I'm absolutely desperate."

Flora was still a little worried, but she also believed that Abyss wouldn't joke about her so casually.

"Okay!" she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Following Abyss's guidance, Flora led Donna and Lillian all the way to the center of the fortress.

The two assassins quickly joined forces, launching relentless attacks on Flora from two directions. However, Flora, relying on the power of the Abyss borrowed in her dreams, repeatedly escaped danger. Their daggers couldn't even touch a hair on Flora's head.

Swish!

Flora used spatial magic to instantly pass through a wall and enter a large hall.

Donna and Lillian remained outside the hall, not daring to enter rashly. Their assassin instincts made them extremely cautious.

The two immediately used shadow magic, covering the wall with a thin film of shadow formed by magic. This film was a spell used by dark elf assassins for eavesdropping; with this spell, they could easily hear sounds inside through walls, and could clearly hear everything that was happening inside.

However, the magical membrane they had placed on the wall seemed to be malfunctioning. They clearly saw Flora rush in, but heard no sound from the hall except for the wind. Instead of sound, a strange feeling was beckoning them inside.

Neither of them had ever encountered this situation before. They didn't speak to each other, but exchanged glances, nodded, and then decided to enter the hall together.

The entrance to the hall consisted of only a broken door. Two people, using the invisibility effect of shadow magic, peeked out from the gap in the door to observe the situation inside.

They were shocked by what they saw in the hall.

In the very center of the hall stood an upside-down humanoid monster, with the Abyss standing beside it, holding two daggers. The monster's eyes were looking in their direction, a slight smile playing on its lips.

Donna and Lillian were both stunned.

Although their minds had been implanted with their own ideas by the Lord of Delusion, making them believe that to kill the Lord of Delusion, they must first kill the Abyss, their ultimate goal was still the Lord of Delusion. Therefore, when they saw their assassination target, a strong desire to assassinate immediately arose in their hearts.

Which one to kill? The Lord of Delusion? But the Abyss is right beside Him; He should kill the Abyss first, then the Lord of Delusion. Kill the Abyss? But the Lord of Delusion is right beside Him; wouldn't it be a one-time solution if He could just kill the Lord of Delusion directly?

In terms of status, the Abyss is Flora's master. Therefore, in the dream world created by Flora, the Abyss naturally has a higher rank. Donna and Lillian have no doubt that the current "Lord of Delusion" is an imposter.

The two, their simple reason corrupted by the divine power, wavered and didn't know what to do.

Donna and Lillian are at a loss, but Abyss and Flora are discussing the script in a mind-sharing manner.

“Those corrupted by the Lord of Delusion become incredibly dull when it comes to making rational judgments, aside from their fighting instincts. They'll probably linger outside the door for a long time,” Abyss said to Flora with a smile. “During this time, we have plenty of time to put on a show. Flora, are you ready?”

“I…I’m ready!” Flora mustered her courage and answered.

"Good! Very spirited!" Abis said approvingly. "Now, use those two daggers in your hands, one to stab my face and the other to stab my heart. Be ruthless, make sure the blades go all the way in!"

"Ah...this..." Flora hesitated after hearing Abyss's words, "What you said is too terrible..."

Flora is a saint of the Holy See, the embodiment of mercy. She has never even killed a chicken in her life. Now, asking her to stab the Abyss in the face and heart with a dagger, and to go deep into it, is really asking too much of her.

“Hmm… that’s true. You’re not exactly a fighter, so asking you to do this all of a sudden is a bit much.” Abyss thought for a moment and then said, “Ah, how about this: you think of me as bread, and the dagger in your hand is the bread knife. You can cut a piece of bread, right?”

"But you don't look like bread right now..."

“Close your eyes and stab me, just imagine that I am the bread in front of you,” Abyss suggested. “Grit your teeth, close your eyes, and stab me twice, and it will be over. Don’t worry, these two daggers are just simulations from your dream, so it won’t hurt me if you stab me.”

"Then...then I'll give it a try!" Flora had no choice but to obey.

She closed her eyes, gripped the two daggers with clumsy hands, and stabbed them fiercely at Abyss's disguised body.

*Pfft! Pfft!*

Flora opened her eyes in a panic: "Ah...you stabbed the wrong place."

"Again, Flora, you have to hit a vital spot to convince Donna and Lillian!"

*Pfft! Pfft!*

*Pfft! Pfft!*

Flora's knife skills were really not very good. Once she closed her eyes, her aim became completely off, and the Abyss would make her try again every time she missed. From Donna and Lillian's perspective, the Abyss was wielding two daggers, frantically stabbing at the Lord of Delusions. The Lord of Delusions' face, neck, chest, abdomen, and even limbs were covered in cuts, and the scene was extremely violent.

The two were even more astonished than before.

What grudge does the Abyss hold against the Lord of Delusion, that it would torment him so much?

Chapter 207 A Pretense Becomes Real

After dozens of attacks, Flora finally mastered the art of using the dagger. This time, one dagger pierced Abyss squarely between the eyebrows, while the other was firmly embedded in his chest.

Rumble...

With Flora's successful attack, the whole world began to tremble.

Donna and Lillian, who had been watching from outside the door in disarray, panicked again. In their eyes, the Abyss had just brutally murdered the Lord of Delusion, and now the entire world was trembling. Their panic stemmed from both the drastic changes in their current environment and the shift in their own goals.

The Lord of Delusion, their ultimate assassination target, had been killed right before their eyes. This left them suddenly without a goal. The Lord of Delusion's corrupting influence on their minds made them even more anxious about losing their target—they didn't want the Lord of Delusion to be killed.

Flora and Abyss, as the main participants in this dream, naturally sensed these emotions in the two of them.

Rumble!

The world trembled more violently, and Abyss, pierced by the dagger, began to writhe in agony.

Large amounts of black substance flowed from the holes pierced in his body, falling to the ground and rapidly boiling and evaporating like an unstable alchemical potion. A pungent odor spread out, causing people to hold their breath.

"Aaaaah..." Abyss let out a miserable scream.

The scream was so agonizing it sent chills down one's spine, and its volume was deafening. Abyss's body crashed to the ground with the scream, rolling wildly around.

Crack! Crack!

Numerous black lightning bolts swirled around the Abyss, a fierce wind arose, and a torrential downpour began outside the fortress. The world darkened. An aura of destruction quickly enveloped everyone.

Abyss's body began to explode bit by bit, from his feet to his head, continuously bursting into filthy black mud, which then quickly evaporated and disappeared. His struggles grew more intense, but to no avail; they could not reverse the trend of his entire body exploding.

"Abyss...aren't you being a little too over-the-top?"

The Abyss's struggles were so intense that they terrified Flora. She already felt guilty for leaving dozens of cuts on the Abyss due to her poor swordsmanship, and seeing him like this, even though she knew he was acting, made her increasingly uneasy.

“Hehe… The more flamboyant I am, the more they believe I’m really dead.” The Abyss’s reply came through the shared mind. “Unlike us, they haven’t seen different evil gods. In their eyes, gods are still mysterious and incredibly powerful beings. Therefore, my farewell ceremony must be grand, grand, and grand again to match their imagination. People don’t deny dreams that match their imagination, at least not in dreams.”

Just as the Abyss had said, his anguished struggles became increasingly exaggerated. The earthquake grew more and more violent, and even through the crumbling walls of the fortress, one could see cracks in the ground outside, spewing out lava.

The sky also shimmered with an eerie purple, as if some power was leaking out and polluting the entire sky.

Donna and Lillian grew increasingly nervous, their hearts filled with conflict. The part of them that had been corrupted by the Lord of Delusion made them not want him to die at the hands of others, while the part that originally belonged to them brought them a sense of relief.

The power of the Lord of Delusion still binds them, but their own will is quietly awakening.

“Performance alone cannot completely convince them; as assassins, they are cautious by nature,” Abyss said to Flora. “Therefore, I must truly die once in this world. This is something I cannot fake.”

Upon hearing this, Flora panicked and immediately questioned Abyss, "Didn't you say you wouldn't joke about your own safety? I thought you were just putting on an act!"

“I have a backup plan, don’t worry, Flora,” Abyss reassured her. “While I can’t escape unscathed, I won’t be seriously injured either. After I die, once you’re certain that the two of them believe the Lord of Delusion has been killed, you can end the dream.”

Flora hesitated, but ultimately reluctantly agreed to Abyss's request.

The body parts of the "Lord of Delusion" gradually exploded less and less, and with each explosion, he seemed to grow weaker and weaker, soon reaching the point of being on the verge of death.
