"Mr. Reeve!!"
After a brief moment of being stunned, a flood of memories that originally belonged to Jessica surged forth from the depths of her mind like a tidal wave. She remembered everything...
As Jessica regained her senses from the dream.
The grand hall, the seats filled with friends and family, and the 'smirking dragon king' Lucas Reeve she was about to marry all vanished into bubbles. Everything felt like a fantasy, though it was indeed an illusion produced in Jessica's dream.
The first moment she saw Lucas Reeve.
Jessica remembered the scene from her dream where she and Lucas Reeve were already holding their wedding. Instantly, her cute cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple. A sense of shame spread through her heart. With the awakening of her main consciousness, all the memories from the dream merged with Jessica's own.
Including.
Becoming Blacksteel Worldwide's greatest Senior Jessica, 'instructing' her foolish junior Franka, then blowing a kiss to her fanboy Lucas Reeve in front of everyone, and then, under the witness of numerous friends and family, in the posture of a 'queen', having Lucas Reeve marry into her family.
I...
I.....
I....
The more absurd memories merged with Jessica's own, and the more she remembered, the more her sense of shame swelled. White steam seemed to puff out from the top of her head due to the excessive embarrassment, making Jessica look like an old-fashioned locomotive.
"Mr. Reeve!!"
"Just now.... just now...."
Jessica's eyes widened, and she nervously and stutteringly tried to explain to Lucas Reeve, even praying in her heart that he hadn't seen anything!! If she wasn't in a soul state, Jessica's toes would have probably carved out a three-bedroom apartment on the floor out of sheer embarrassment, so she could live in it forever, isolated from the world!
Lucas Reeve turned his head and smiled with an incredibly gentle gaze.
"Compared to the Jessica in the dream, I still prefer the real you..."
"Oof~"
Jessica's pretty face turned even redder. She never expected Lucas Reeve to say something like that at a time like this. She became flustered, not even knowing what to do with her hands.
"Um... um~~ um!!!"
"Um!!"
"Wait a minute?!!"
"Mr. Reeve! You watched my entire dream, didn't you!!!"
Lucas Reeve didn't speak. He paused for a few seconds, then let out a chuckle, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"I'm too ashamed to face anyone!! Boohoohoo!!!"
Lucas Reeve laughed heartily, patting Jessica on the head to comfort her.
"Once we're done here, we'll go into the dreams of the other three together. Don't you want to see theirs?"
Upon hearing that.
Jessica suddenly stopped her social-death spiral.
That's right!!
When one person suffers social death, it's called social death. But if a group of people suffers social death... it doesn't seem so bad.
It's like going to school without doing your homework. If you're the only one, you panic.
If two people didn't do it, great~ you have a companion!
If a whole group of people didn't do it! Great~ it doesn't matter anymore.
"Besides all that..."
After comforting Jessica, Lucas Reeve slowly turned around and looked at the approaching group of figures that looked like faint blue flames, their specific features unclear, only their silhouettes visible.
"What are you things..."
These figures didn't seem to be able to speak, nor did they have any consciousness. They just kept slowly approaching Lucas Reeve, like a pre-set antivirus program preparing to kill the foreign 'virus' that was Lucas Reeve and continue running the original dream world.
"Unconscious? In that case... goodbye..."
Taking a deep breath, scorching flames, along with a stream of air, spewed from Lucas Reeve's mouth.
[Sun Breathing]
Flames as hot as the core of the sun instantly wrapped around the blade in Lucas Reeve's hand.
The Transparent World was also activated at this moment.
In Lucas Reeve's vision.
All the movements of these strange monsters became incredibly slow, as slow as crawling ants.
And as the twelve forms of [Sun Breathing] were unleashed in a continuous chain, Lucas Reeve's body seemed to drag afterimages behind it, and the streams of light left by the flames on his blade were stretched long by his high-speed movement.
A fire dragon continuously tore at these enemies. From the first form to the twelfth, Lucas Reeve seemed tireless, performing them over and over again. And with every slash, one or several monsters would be cut in half and dissipate completely.
"So strong!!"
This was the first time Jessica had seen Lucas Reeve execute his sword forms so fluently. He had never been this smooth when using her body before.
As expected...
Was her body holding back Mr. Reeve's true strength?
Jessica felt a bit dejected and guilty, and she secretly vowed in her heart that after this mission, she would definitely train hard to become stronger.
As the last monster was easily decapitated by Lucas Reeve.
This soul world gradually disintegrated.
When Jessica came back to her senses.
She was back in the cave she had arrived in earlier. It was pitch black, and the magnificent sea of trees now seemed incredibly terrifying and eerie.
And ahead, her three seniors were still standing foolishly in front of the Blackflow Sea of Trees' lake, their faces blank, probably having a dream similar to the one she just had.
"Mr. Reeve!"
Jessica hurriedly called out. After experiencing a dream that was identical to the real world, she was a little worried that this was still an illusion and quickly called out to Lucas Reeve.
Lucas Reeve floated out of the necklace, and only then did Jessica breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Reeve, what's going on? Could this cave..."
Lucas Reeve didn't know the specifics either, but he told Jessica all of his conjectures, which made her feel a wave of lingering fear. This cave was unexpectedly dangerous. If it weren't for Lucas Reeve being with her, it would have been absolutely difficult for her and Senior Franka and the others to escape from the dream. They might have died here inexplicably...
"Let's go, let's wake the others up, and then leave together. We shouldn't need to worry about Ceobe. When it comes to dealing with souls, she's more professional than any of us."
Lucas Reeve had Jessica hold the necklace.
And Lucas Reeve's floating body directly entered Franka's first.
