Chapter 150 A Guardian's Dream

The interference and resonance produced by the ninth-tier magic began to cause the original barriers of the Narakalis Royal Palace's regency hall to tremble.

Crimson lightning crackled around the open space in the center of the hall, as if turning the palace's transparent protective barrier into an illusion, beginning to manifest and collapse. A dim aura permeated the area as the barrier was eroded and twisted, revealing its true form, gradually becoming layers of barriers sealing off the regency hall.

At either end of the palace hall, silver and blood-red magic were clearly separated. Fallen Qing Kaliyera was doing her best to control Fourth Progenitor Eduardo.

Originally, Kaliyera had hoped that a Great Demon would wake up first to help her awaken more Great Demons and seal off Fourth Progenitor Eduardo.

"Impossible…"

Fallen Qing Kaliyera's eyes widened.

The worst had happened.

A vampire progenitor was able to wake up so quickly in her illusion.

She had never imagined that there would be such a being, capable of almost completely ignoring the Fallen Dreamland she used with all her power.

"Nothing is impossible. I simply have no dreams I cannot realize."

Tenth Progenitor Marquis Ulysses chuckled, reaching out to lightly touch the space in front of him, successfully dissolving a thin layer of barrier within the royal palace.

Without the precise control of a Fallen Qing with authorization privileges, the energy of the Narakalis Royal Palace throne hall's protective barrier was nothing more than a mass of unowned magical power.

Now, it was clear that Fallen Qing's condition was very poor, and she no longer had the strength to face another opponent.

Ulysses floated down from the high platform where the seats were, his toes touching the ground, and walked along the empty oval square in the center of the regency hall towards the throne platform.

"Tenth Progenitor…!"

When Fallen Qing Kaliyera saw Marquis Ulysses's unusual gaze, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

This was a monster beyond her understanding.

She finally understood that the vampires had calculated from the beginning that this progenitor could completely counter her innate magic.

Duke Eduardo, the Fourth Progenitor's self-destruction, was just a test.

The vampires knew that her innate magic was almost impossible to solve except with spatial magic, so they prepared a corresponding backup plan.

Even if Duke Eduardo failed to self-destruct successfully, he would use the self-destruction to force out Kaliyera's innate magic, indiscriminately controlling all the demons.

And once she used Fallen Dreamland, the Tenth Progenitor would become the only being in the room capable of moving freely!

"Fallen Qing, breaking your magic is actually very simple. If the dream you create makes me feel more bored than reality, then why should I be addicted to it?"

Tenth Progenitor Marquis Ulysses murmured as he walked toward the throne.

"Then let's see if you can break through the barrier faster, or if the Great Demons wake up first."

Kaliyer bowed her head, the back of her hand trembling slightly, her voice trying to remain calm.

"The Maya Qing, on whom Your Excellency places high hopes, doesn't seem to be waking up anytime soon. That's enough time for me to take the princess away."

Tenth Progenitor Ulysses looked at Fallen Qing Kaliyera and said politely.

The royal palace barrier could barely stop Tenth Progenitor Marquis Ulysses's footsteps, but he quickly dissolved them one by one.

His speed was so fast that Ulysses seemed to be naturally strolling through the hall. Fallen Qing could not hope for Maya Qing to wake up and help her.

Perhaps in just a few dozen seconds, he would reach the platform in front of the throne!

"Don't worry, Fallen Qing, I won't disturb you from controlling Duke Eduardo. My only target is her."

Tenth Progenitor Ulysses smiled, his gaze fixed on Hibernia, who was sleeping on the throne.

Kaliyer's magic was especially effective on the princess.

Now, there was no need to worry about the princess resisting or running away.

And his blood authority could easily create the eighth-tier flying creatures he wanted, devour him, and take him and the princess out of the Demon King's Castle Narakalis during the day.

For him, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be blasted into ashes by the Fourth Progenitor's ninth-tier [Blood Destruction] today.

"No! If you dare come close! I promise I will tear you apart at all costs!"

Fallen Qing Kaliyera shouted angrily like a mother lion protecting her cub.

"Heh heh."

Tenth Progenitor Ulysses simply chuckled.

His eyes seemed to be asking Kaliyera whether she was willing to risk letting Duke Eduardo, the Fourth Progenitor, escape and blast all the Great Demons in the palace to death, or could only watch helplessly as he took the princess away.

Ulysses knew better than anyone what Fallen Qing would choose.

If Fallen Qing Kaliyera was distracted, it was likely that a flaw would appear in the Fallen Dreamland illusion of Duke Eduardo, the Fourth Progenitor.

Between the Demon King's army and the princess, Fallen Qing could only choose the Demon King's army.

Even if the Fourth Progenitor died here, it didn't matter how many demons he could take with him. Success was a great victory.

Before coming to the Demon World, the Fourth Progenitor Eduardo had used his original blood to fully heal the Second Progenitor.

Their vampire Second Progenitor, who was severely injured by the Demon King, would recover many years earlier.

Originally, the Fourth Progenitor Eduardo was in a state of dissatisfaction. Taking out the Great Demons of the Demon King's Castle in one fell swoop would be a great victory as long as it succeeded.

And if they lost the ancestral land key, it would take all the Demon Race's effort to suppress the Fourth Progenitor, and they would be dragged down by time.

Even if he failed to detonate successfully, exchanging the remnant Fourth Progenitor for the princess, the last ancestral land key of the Demon Race, would achieve the same goal.

The vampires would take control of the only key and take this demon princess to the Honin Empire to become a breeding machine, creating more keys for them.

When the vampire army occupied the Purgatory City of Pasquale, they would be able to seize control of the demon ancestral land. By then, no race on the ground would be able to stop the birth of the Crimson Moon Prosperity.

"Princess!"

Seeing Tenth Progenitor Ulysses getting closer and closer without anyone being able to stop him, Kaliyera's voice was a little weak, wanting to awaken Hibernia.

It would be good if Hibernia could wake up, at least so that the princess could run away quickly. Kaliyera knew that the princess was good at running away.

But at this moment, Hibernia was deeply immersed in her dream, tears spilling from the corners of her eyes, her lips still murmuring, seemingly falling deeper into the dreamland than anyone else.

"Give up, Fallen Qing. It's a very happy thing for her to have dreams, at least she won't be as nihilistic about reality as I am."

Tenth Progenitor Marquis Ulysses approached in an orderly manner, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

"But that's exactly why destroying her is also a noble art in itself. I haven't found such a great subject in a long time."

He had discovered it the first time he saw Hibernia.

This princess was as pure as falling snow. If life was a journey, she would feel despair and loneliness, but she could dispel these emotions. Her behavior was dignified, brave, and kind. She had the beauty worth holding in her palm, a perfect embryo.

If she was completely destroyed from soul to body, it would definitely be an unparalleled tragedy, capable of giving the viewers an unforgettable touch.

"As long as you don't succeed in leaving the Demon King's Castle today, I guarantee I will give you the deepest and most cruel fear!!"

Fallen Qing Kaliyera said with a trembling voice.

She gradually understood the vampire's plan. They were willing to exchange the Fourth Progenitor for the princess even in the worst-case scenario.

The vampires' suddenly exposed fangs caught them off guard, and they did not want to give the demons a chance to breathe.

From the beginning, the vampires had no intention of negotiating peace.

The vampires just wanted to accelerate the annexation of the Northern Continent.

If all the Great Demons gathered here died, the defeat of the Demon Race would be almost inevitable.

But if the princess was taken away, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Oh? Then I'm really a little scared."

The voice of Tenth Progenitor Marquis Ulysses, showing weakness with a smile, did not contain a trace of fear.

"Maya Qing! Asmodeus, wake up!"

Fallen Qing Kaliyera called out without hope.

Although there were Great Demons present who had undergone her Fallen Dreamland immunity training, any demon had a limit to Fallen Dreamland.

After all, Kaliyera did not believe that there were any creatures with completely flawless hearts.

No one could achieve desirelessness and have no beautiful dreams to realize.

In the full-power state, an even more realistic and perfect illusion than reality would completely seal off all the memories of the affected person and the clues that could lead to the conclusion that this was a dream.

At this moment, Kaliyera was using the strongest state of Fallen Dreamland to forcibly control Fourth Progenitor Eduardo, and no Great Demon could withstand it!

Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

It was impossible to wake up from the supreme illusion of Fallen Dreamland through loud calls from the outside.

This was the cruel reality.

Fallen Qing Kaliyera, as the owner of this magic, actually knew it better than anyone.

The palace suddenly fell silent.

Kaliyer, who had been holding on, finally seemed tired.

The last hope was like burning through her pupils and then falling hard.

The ripples caused by the shattering of the barrier were as fragile as her current expectations.

She had not even had time to develop a good relationship with this princess she had just recognized, and she was about to lose the princess.

Kaliyer lowered her head in near despair.

She could only wait for Marquis Ulysses to approach quickly.

Perhaps this was the destiny of their demons.

However.

Just then.

"…"

Tenth Progenitor Ulysses, who had been advancing on the dark brown carpet, suddenly stopped.

A figure walked over from the side, blocking Ulysses's path.

He looked up, his emerald eyes equally clear.

Both figures had restrained divine radiance.

"I didn't expect that you could break free so quickly."

Ulysses clapped his hands together in surprise, praising the demon in front of him.

"You flatter me."

Ranchi sighed, glanced back at Hibernia, who was sleeping peacefully on the throne.

This time he was really controlled for a short while, waking up a few seconds later than this vampire.

It seemed that after returning from the Northern Continent, he was no longer at his peak.

But dealing with the guy in front of him was enough for him now.

"You probably don't have any dreams you want to realize in your heart, so you can come out so quickly."

Marquis Ulysses was not in a hurry to break through the barrier again, but instead became very interested in the demon in front of him.

He rarely encountered such a creature who could understand him, or rather, an existence in the same field as him.

Only creatures with empty hearts or extremely rich hearts can ignore the magic of Fallen Dreamland.

And whether it was emptiness or extreme richness, they all led to the same result, which was no longer having beautiful dreams.

"Maybe."

Ranchi did not care about this question, but instead began to no longer conceal his aura as a Great Demon. The radiant patterns that bloomed like cracks on his body faintly had the characteristics of a quasi-king.

"Then what is the meaning of you blocking me?"

Tenth Progenitor Ulysses moved forward again.

He was not confused by the apparent Great Demon characteristics of the other party.

Fourth Progenitor Eduardo had clearly told him that this Great Demon was only at the fourth tier. As long as he broke the barrier, he could crush him with a flip of his hand.

Ranchi heard Ulysses's words and laughed. The responsibility of a principal to educate students who violated the rules was the meaning.

Instead of running away, he walked towards Ulysses.

"Although I don't have my own dreams, I can protect her dreams."

He was like the ultimate knight guarding the throne and the princess, only the shimmering demon shadow and the swaying green glow in his eyes were particularly clear.
