Chapter 551: The Invitation (2)
"Interfere?"
Anise and Kristina were left speechless. They were unable to utter anything in response. Noir Giabella’s statement was not a jest nor a bluff. She was speaking in earnest.
This nightmare was not a direct creation of Noir Giabella. She had not actually appeared before them. It had been induced merely by exposure to the dark power contained within the letter she sent. She had induced them into a forced sleep, which compelled the victim into slumber with a glance, followed by dream within a dream — drawing the sleeper into a perpetual and recursive world of dreams.
Such powers were naturally within the domain of high-ranking Night Demons. Naturally, as the Queen of the Night Demons, Noir had mastered these abilities to such an extent that she could send hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands into sleep with just a glance.
But now, she had transcended even those capabilities. She no longer needed to catch sight of her victims. Noir Giabella could now delve into an opponent's consciousness merely with the lingering essence of her dark power, excavating deep-seated traumas and crafting horrific nightmares for the victims.
Anise too, had just experienced a nightmare. Her nightmare was a battlefield from three hundred years ago. The people she could not save had poured their resentments onto her.
She also saw the moment Hamel died before her eyes, the very moment she, as the Saint, could do nothing. She had failed to revive the dying Hamel. All these elements intertwined and amplified into vast despair.
Furthermore, there was the end that Anise had faced. All the Saints of Yuras, one after another, had become relics for the next Saint. Anise was no exception. In fact, being among the most complete of all Saints, she was destined to become a relic.
Tragically, unlike Molon and Sienna, Anise was not granted longevity. Being near complete didn’t mean truly complete. As a “created” human, Anise had bore several unavoidable flaws.
