Chapter 379 - 377: The Girl Can No Longer Sleep
The memories have not yet ended.
The next scene follows.
This time, the scene is no longer warm and tender.
The entire world is shrouded under a dim sky.
The starry sky seems to be silent.
Everywhere is ablaze with flames and magic.
Alina and Gael are joining forces to battle a certain enemy, struggling hard to drive them back.
Afterwards, a great pollution emerges, enveloping the entire world.
A deep man’s voice speaks.
"Hold them back, this is the line into Star Fall. Lord Rose said, as long as we keep the gods outside this line, Starfall Continent will not fall!"
"We don’t need to hold them off for long, as long as... Lord Rose returns, it’s victory!"
Alina droops her eyes, the dream magic power like starlight spreads, enveloping the entire world, making the armor of all soldiers within the line become invincible and extraordinarily brave.
Meanwhile, ice magic power also spreads, adding a layer of frost to the area covered by the dream magic power, causing all enemies’ actions to become sluggish.
"Alina, you handle these lower gods, these guys only have Tier Nine strength, relying recklessly on the divine format given by the Main God, not taking our people seriously at all. Kill them all, shatter all the divine formats!" Gael said.
Alina yawned, nodding slightly.
She closed her eyes slightly, and in the next second, flew into the sky.
The dream magic power like starlight erupted, immediately lighting up the dim sky with stars and auroras.
"Sleep, sleep, fighting is not as good as sleeping... hoo... hoo..."
Under the starlight, all the enemies’ movements gradually slowed down, their eyelids drooping, a rich drowsiness enveloping everyone.
Their actions turned sluggish, while on the other side, the opportunity was seized to begin killing those "lower gods" one by one.
Yet, this good fortune was short-lived.
Soon, the starry sky was suddenly dispersed by a fierce sun.
A sun suddenly rose in the distant sky.
This sun dispelled Alina’s night sky, its rays seemingly more intense than the real sun.
A cold voice came.
"Petty humans, also dare to dream of mastering the starry sky."
"Alina, watch out!"
Alina opened her eyes, seeing a red-haired woman appearing before her.
"Gael..."
Her eyes widened.
Gael forcefully flung her into the distance, "Your role... is greater than mine, quickly leave, I’ll hold him off, cough cough..."
Another figure flew into the sky, looking towards the distant sun.
"Divine King, Zeus, you..."
"Heh heh, a mere Evil God, also dares to challenge the Main God. Your gods are already dead, face the judgment of the fierce sun."
The intense light completely enveloped the scene.
When the light gradually cleared, the entire world became dark again.
Within the darkness, there was still a rampant pollution of demonic qi.
Alina’s hand no longer held the pillow she always carried, but had become a magic staff.
This magic staff was very beautiful, seemingly forged from the starry sky, with a crystal at its top appearing to hold a beautiful world.
Yet Alina’s expression was not beautiful.
This seemed to be an underground cave.
She sat dumbfounded at the edge of the bed hewn from giant stone, staring dazedly at the magic staff.
A voice came from beside her.
"Alina, you haven’t rested for a month, why not sleep for a while."
Alina looked at the speaker, a middle-aged man clad in knight’s armor.
"Faruga, I’m sorry... I already... can’t sleep."
She glanced at several bottles of medicine on a stone cabinet by the bed, "These sleeping potions already have no effect on me... I’m sorry. I want to sleep. I want to use beautiful dreams to restore everyone’s spirits, but... Lord Rose is gone, Sister Gael is gone, I... I can’t sleep anymore."
Alina was crying.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been lazy at Lord Rose’s farewell ceremony."
The girl who loved to sleep in late now needed to drink one bottle after another of sleeping potion to fall asleep.
Yet no matter how strong the sleeping potions were, they couldn’t make her sleep now.
"Lord Rose isn’t dead, he is the most glorious Master of the Starry Sky, you are his starry sky. I, along with Ashugar, Jonathan, Raphael, are planning to send you to the Land of the Far North, let you slumber there until we find a way to summon Lord Rose, then awaken you."
Alina looked at him: "Why?"
Faruga sighed: "We’ve been completely defeated, continued resistance is futile. We need to live on, summon Lord Rose, and wait for him to return, to lead us to the starry sky."
"I want to wait for him to come back here." Alina said.
Faruga said: "If you want Lord Rose to lead you to the starry sky, then listen to us. If you continue fighting, using dream magic forcefully, your soul could dissipate."
"I’m not afraid."
"Do you want Lord Rose to find out about your soul dissipating when he returns?"
Alina fell silent.
The scene gradually blurred.
It ended here.
The surroundings returned to the appearance of the starry sky.
In front of her reappeared Rose’s figure in a black robe, facing away.
Hilia’s gaze was complex and confused.
She stared blankly at Rose’s back, as if she turned into Alina, wanting to touch Rose’s silhouette.
Thinking like this, she couldn’t help reaching out.
The next second, she felt her hand being held.
Hilia froze.
Though it was a magic puppet controlled by Rose holding her, rather than Rose’s true self or spiritual body, Hilia still felt her heart beat slightly faster.
"I..."
Hilia opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Rose already said:
"What you saw was Alina’s past, it was the dream she kept having while asleep."
Hilia was silent for a moment, then said: "Miss Alina... seems to really like you."
Rose is known as the Master of the Starry Sky, while Alina... is the starry sky itself.
Isn’t this obvious?
However, Hilia didn’t feel any discomfort, but rather... felt sad, not because of seeing Rose’s interaction with Alina, but because Alina’s experiences made her sad.
What Alina went through in the dreams before being sealed in slumber, the emotions in the dreams, also affected her as she watched the dreams of the other.
Rose said: "It’s not Alina liking me, it’s all my followers liking me."
Hilia: "..."
The girl gazed at Rose with resentment, thought angrily: you clearly know that’s not what I meant.
"Speaking of which, why does Lord Rose like circling around Alina?"
Rose’s face flashed an awkward expression.
Circling NPCs is a common habit among players.
Especially facing beautiful girl NPCs.
Rose, before crossing over, was an ordinary person too.
So he did many things others would do—
Blocking camera angles.
If you can’t eat it, at least you can look at it?
Alina liked to sleep, and when sleeping, there were always unseen benefits...
Anyway, it wasn’t anything noble or righteous, Rose decided to play dumb.
He held Hilia’s hand, looking forward, changed the subject:
"Let’s go, we’ve already reached Alina’s Land of Slumber."
