Chapter 634 – Sinking in the Dreamland

Chapter 634 – Dream Realm Sinking
Those threads were moving.

Duncan heard Alice’s startled cry, and, instantly roused from his musings, he jerked his head up to look out of the window, whereupon the everlasting scene came into his eyes–the

On the surface of the sea where the Light Wind Harbor once stood, the invisible threads that were as luxuriant as hair and as interwoven as mists were changing drastically, and the long stretch of the “veil of mist” was slowly rising and shrinking and writhing, and changing drastically between the real and the virtual, and it was gradually remodeling a certain kind of form, and the part of it on the surface of the sea was shrinking, coalescing, and pulling itself up, and the structure that floated on the cloud was slowly swelled up and split into crisscrossing branches again, and slowly drooped down toward the end of the sea like another vault of heaven.

An indescribable sense of the oppression of a giant object came from the ever-coalescing and changing false image, and the entire sea began to be gradually enveloped by the invisible crown, and it was only at this moment that Duncan finally saw the end of it – it was a tree.

Those “threads” floating on the surface of the sea, like hair, is tangled into the shape of a giant tree, a “world tree” enough to cover the entire sea!
Lune held the table and stood up with great difficulty, this old elf who relied on his personal willpower to resist Silentis’ call seemed to be on the verge of his limit at the moment, he also looked out of the window – he could not see the invisible threads without Alice’s power, and the sea was still empty to him, but suddenly the empty sea appeared to him, but he could not see it. sea was floated with large, large shadows – the originally invisible threads began to gradually show outlines visible to the naked eye.

He saw the tree, the giant tree that was growing rapidly, spreading out from the dreams of the race of elves.

“That’s ……” Lune’s eyes widened instantly, and some kind of memory and emotion that seemed to be sleeping deep in his soul came out in a tidal wave, making him subconsciously murmur, “Silantis …… Silantis is coming to get us ……”

But in the next second, his eyes snapped back to clarity, Rahm’s power forcibly dragging his sanity back to the real world, and he pressed his forehead hard, “Captain Duncan, Silantis’ awakening has reached the next stage …… She’s remembering her original appearance ……”

A melodious and loud siren suddenly came from nearby, it was the parade ark parked at the edge of the sea that was signaling the entire fleet, and the sound of the siren seemed to be interspersed with urging, the personnel who stayed behind to guard the ark seemed to be worried about the Pope’s safety.

Lune raised his hand and sketched a few characters that emitted a shimmering light quickly in the air.

Duncan immediately noticed his movement, “What are you doing?”

“I’m ordering the Ark and the escort fleet to move away from Silantis immediately,” Lune spoke quickly, “There are still many elves aboard those ships, and although they’re not affected yet, they can’t continue to stay in these waters.”

Duncan immediately asked, “What about you?”

“That’s exactly what I’m …… going to say,” Lune seemed to drift off again for a moment, but he quickly recovered, “Take me into Silantis’s dreamscape – the -the deepest part of the dream realm, I want to communicate directly with that ‘Guardian’ ……”

“Communicate?” Duncan frowned tightly, “Don’t tell me that you are planning to rely on your eloquence and sincerity to persuade an ‘ancient god’ who has fallen into madness to regain his senses.”

“No, I have another way that might have an effect on her ……”

Duncan quietly looked at the elderly elf for a moment before he finally broke the silence when the second siren of the church’s ark signaling evacuation was heard nearby, “How can you be sure that I can take you into the depths of Silentis’s dreams?”

Lune settled himself and met Duncan’s gaze, “Because the moment I established contact with Silantis, I saw the Lost Country – even though it was sailing in the darkness of the border, I was certain that it was evidence that you were able to establish communication with Silantis.”

Listening to the old pope’s description, Duncan’s expression did not change, but his heart suddenly stirred.

What the other party was talking about …… was the scene seen under Silantis’ “perspective”?
Previously only a vague plan suddenly had a direction, Duncan’s eyes then looked toward the nearby navigation table, landed on the piece of dragon bone samples on the table.

Lune, however, was a bit disturbed by Duncan’s sudden silence, and couldn’t help but confirm, “…… You do have a plan, don’t you?”

“…… Things have changed a bit now compared to before, but ……” Duncan was still looking at the square piece of wood on the table, but gradually, a small smile appeared on his face. “That’s right, I’ve got an idea and am planning to try it out, it could give you a lift, the only problem is …… the rest of the voyage might be a bit exciting.”

Loon sniffed, “…… Exciting?”

“Have you ever experienced sailing through the nightmares of an ancient god on a ghost ship?”

……

As the whistling sound came from the streets, Lucrecia was confirming to Taran El the eerie scene the other had seen in his last moments in the Dream of the Nameless One, as well as the voice that the other had heard, in a trance, from Silantis.

Taran El said that he had seen the destruction of the world before the end of the Dream of the Nameless One, and that it was most likely the scene imprinted in the memory of the elven race, the memory of the Great Annihilation at the beginning of the Age of the Deep that scholars of all times have been searching for, and he said that he had heard a voice suspected to be that of Silentis, and that it was filled with anger and horror that seemed to reveal a secret– -Lucrecia felt as if she had touched upon the truth of the ultimate extremity of this dream, yet just as she wanted to pursue the matter, a strange whirring instantly swept over the entire city-state.

She sprang up and went to the window. The scene in front of her made the “sea witch” instantly suffocate, and she froze on the spot for a short time.

The “sky” above the city was burning, roaring flames across the sky, such as from the depths of the endless nightmare swept to the huge waves swept across the canopy over the Light Wind Harbor of those layers and layers, as well as the canopy of the chaotic and dirty sky, the flames like a blanket, covering everything, but also whistling and jumping into the canopy of the street below every street, flooding flow! devouring every inch of land as far as the eye could see.

It gave her a feeling – as if the forest, which extended from the dream world, had suddenly “transformed” into an entity of flame, which then began to burn the city-state.

The moment the flames came down, explosions, screams, the sound of a steamroller hitting a building out of control, and all sorts of noises and cacophonies filled the city almost instantly!

This amazing drastic change came so suddenly that Lucrecia had some kind of inauthentic tearing sensation for a moment, she stood somewhat stagnant at the window, staring blankly at the scene outside, and only after another two seconds did her gaze involuntarily move upwards, as if attracted by something, looking towards the blazing sky.

In the flames that had covered the entire sky, she saw some kind of huge structure gradually appearing, like a materialized “Day of Destruction” that was continuously crushing down from the sky, descending inch by inch on top of everyone’s heads.

…… What is that?
Lucrecia subconsciously asked this question, and in the next moment, an alarming voice from behind her finally woke her up from this temporary stupor.

“O Name of Rahm!” A Knowledge Guard exclaimed in disbelief as he looked fixedly out the window, “What is that thing!?”

Even Taran-El, who had not been in the best of shape and whose mind was always swirling with noise and tingling, rose from his chair and staggered over to Lucrecia, looking out at the sky that was caught in a sea of flames and the streets that were in a state of chaos.

Bewilderment and fear surfaced in the bottom of the scholar’s eyes, he seemed unable to imagine that Light Wind Harbor would suddenly fall into this horrific scene – even though the forest that had spread out from the Dream of the Nameless had already engulfed the entire city, the scene outside the window at the moment still gave him a nightmarish and unreal feeling of having fallen into another layer, which made him unable to hold back from mutter, “It’s a nightmare ……”

“No, Master Taran El,” Lucrecia’s voice suddenly came from beside him, snapping Taran El out of his trance, and he saw that the sorceress lady was turning her head, those eyes as deep as the ocean, “This is a nightmare.”

A moment of bewilderment surfaced on Taran-El’s face, while underneath Lucrecia’s eyes, the light of the flames was gradually reflecting.

She saw that the room was falling apart, that one of the figures in the room was gradually curling and distorting in the flames, she saw the fire in the sky sweeping through the roofs as an icy sunlight through the air, she saw a giant tree emerge in the distance – it rose from the sea as if it were part of the spreading out of the city-state.

She stepped forward and pressed her hand on Taran-El’s shoulder.

“My father says that Lightwind Harbor has disappeared into the real world, and that there is nothing but a blank space on that sea now.

“Mr. Taran-El, we have not been awake since the beginning – the whole city, all of it, is still asleep.

“But Silantis is about to wake up from his dream ……”

With a slight push, she thrust forward Taran-El, who at some point had fallen into stasis like a stone statue.

“Come on, let’s go find out what the hell Silantis is dreaming about.”

The next second, under the shroud of roaring flames and the ever-declining sky, Lightwind Harbor slowly and quietly disintegrated.

In the last instant as the flames swept over it, it dissolved into bubbles, streams of light, smoke, wind, and murmuring, whispering voices, its last shadow reflecting on the calm sea, the remnants of the fire and the twisted, torn landscape in the reflection like an illusion that was gradually swallowed up by the breaking waves.

And amidst the ebb and flow of the breaking waves, a massive shadow was gradually growing up from the bottom of the sea – it appeared to be a huge tree.

And at the edge of this huge tree that kept growing up from the bottom of the sea, another shadow that was sometimes real and sometimes illusory was slowly moving.

It was a ghost ship that was gradually emerging.
