Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Prophet Magus hurriedly expressed his intention to convey this information to the other inhabitants of the inn.

Ethan, though eager to prevent him, was unable to intervene in time.

Prophet Magus raised his voice, disseminating the startling revelation throughout the inn.

“I now know who eliminated Cryo Magus! Everyone within our inn must be on high alert!” Prophet Magus declared loudly.

His words reverberated through the inn, triggering a violent tremor.

On the first floor of the inn, wooden boards splintered, unleashing a horde of grotesque, twisted creatures from the depths below.

“These must be the dreamland creatures,” Shadow Elf swiftly reminded Ethan.

While Ethan possessed some knowledge of the Cursed Dreamland, Shadow Elf’s understanding ran deeper.

“We must swiftly eliminate these monsters, or Prophet Magus will be devoured by them! If that happens, he may never awaken from the dreamland again!”

With the threat of the dreamland creatures looming, Ethan and Shadow Elf understood the urgency of the situation and readied themselves for the impending battle.

Upon receiving the reminder, Ethan sprang into action.

He swung his weapon in the direction from which the monsters were emerging, conjuring an invisible barrier on the first floor of the inn.

In the instant the barrier materialized, Ethan swiftly grabbed Prophet Magus and headed upstairs.

“What are you doing? Why are these creatures appearing? Shouldn’t we be alerting the others and seeking their assistance?” 

Prophet Magus found Ethan’s actions highly perplexing, given that he was unaware of being within a dreamland.

Ethan had no time to provide an explanation, for he sensed that Prophet Magus’s dream was on the verge of collapsing.

Furthermore, before the dream crumbled completely, even more powerful monsters would manifest, intensifying the danger they faced.

Ethan felt it crucial to bring Prophet Magus to the highest floor of the inn.

On the top floor, he could at least count on the assistance of his dreamland self.

Ethan’s actions were swift, taking less than a second to transport Prophet Magus to the inn’s uppermost level.

Here, he did not encounter his dreamland self but rather the long-awaited man in black.

The dreamland version of the man in black appeared even more formidable than Ethan had previously imagined.

Upon seeing Ethan, the man in black’s eyes turned blood-red in an instant.

“You should not have alerted him! I now know you’ve discovered my presence. Therefore, I will not allow you to escape from this dreamland!” the man in black declared with a chilling certainty.

The man in black’s statement left Ethan, Prophet Magus, and Shadow Elf in a state of profound astonishment.

Ethan and Shadow Elf were astonished that the man in black seemed to be aware that this was a dreamland, unlike Prophet Magus’s dream, where such a figure should not exist.

Prophet Magus was taken aback, primarily because the man in black had mentioned the concept of a dream.

It was at this moment that Prophet Magus realized he was in a dream, and his gaze towards Ethan underwent a significant transformation.

At the same time, Ethan could sense the space around him rapidly collapsing.

The entire dreamland appeared to be on the brink of complete collapse, and if he and Shadow Elf didn’t leave before it crumbled, they risked being trapped in the Cursed Dreamland.

“We don’t have time for further discussion. The man in black is the one who eliminated Cryo Magus, and now you know. Since you’re aware, there’s no reason to stay here,” Ethan realized that the situation was deteriorating.

He forcefully pushed Prophet Magus down the stairs, causing him to tumble quickly to the inn’s lowest level.

Prophet Magus had yet to fully comprehend the situation, but he no longer needed to.

He was about to awaken from the dreamland imminently.

Meanwhile, on the highest floor of the inn, the battle between Ethan and the man in black had commenced.

Ethan knew that the man in black was not an easy opponent, so he unleashed his full power from the outset.

Additionally, this time, Shadow Elf did not choose to stand by and watch; instead, Shadow Elf provided significant assistance.

With Shadow Elf’s help, Ethan gradually gained the upper hand.

The man in black within the dreamland appeared increasingly furious.

He found Ethan’s displayed strength to be unexpectedly formidable.

“Who are you? Why can you exhibit such incredible power within the dreamland? Moreover, you’re not the person from Prophet Magus’s dream. You’ve intruded into Prophet Magus’s dream; what is your purpose?” lightsnovel

The man in black posed these questions while simultaneously preparing for the upcoming battle.

Ethan had no intention of providing any answers to his adversary.

In his eyes, the man in black could very well be the Divine Protector of the God of Curses, possibly here to target him specifically.

“Why should I answer your questions? Instead of wasting time with you, it’s better to eliminate you right away!” 

Ethan’s words barely finished when he teleported beside the man in black.

Ethan summoned his most potent skill, creating a colossal Primordial Light.

With Shadow Elf’s cooperation, he simulated the form of the God of Shadow using Primordial Light.

As a deity, the God of Shadow possessed boundless power.

Although Ethan had merely simulated the God of Shadow’s form, it was more than enough.

The God of Shadow unleashed a massive Power of Shadow, enveloping the man in black entirely within the darkness.

Ethan knew he couldn’t completely eliminate the man in black since it was just a battle within the dream.

However, his current goal was not to defeat the man in black; instead, he aimed to escape the man’s pursuit.

Ethan’s primary objective was to quickly guide Shadow Elf out of the Cursed Dreamland.

Prophet Magus was about to awaken, and they had to return to the real world through Cursed Dreamland at the exact moment of his awakening.

If they didn’t make it in time, they would be trapped in Cursed Dreamland forever.

“Hurry, follow me now! There’s no time for further delay; Prophet Magus is about to awaken!” Ethan’s tone was tinged with urgency as he spoke.

He knew they had to act swiftly and seize the moment.

Prophet Magus was on the brink of waking up, and there was no room for hesitation.

Shadow Elf, too, sensed the gravity of the situation and understood the need for immediate action.

With their hearts pounding and adrenaline coursing through their veins, the two of them moved as quickly as they could, returning to Cursed Dreamland in a race against time.

Just as they re-entered the dream world, Prophet Magus awoke in his room.

“I had the most bizarre dream. Was that man in black truly the one who destroyed Cryo Magus? Is he still in this inn? And why did Ethan appear in my dream? He doesn’t seem to be a character from my dream,” Prophet Magus muttered to himself, perplexed by the strange events.

Prophet Magus, now fully awake from his unsettling dream, had a myriad of questions swirling within him.

However, he hesitated to seek out Ethan immediately, still contemplating the surreal experience he had just emerged from.

He needed time to process the bewildering sequence of events before taking any rash actions.

Meanwhile, in Ethan’s room, both Ethan and Shadow Elf had successfully escaped the confines of Cursed Dreamland.

Despite their relief, a lingering unease remained.

“I’m grateful for your unwavering assistance during the dream battle,” Ethan began, acknowledging Shadow Elf’s invaluable contribution.

“If you hadn’t given your all, we might not have sealed the man in black in time.”

Ethan’s gratitude was palpable, but their encounter with the enigmatic figure had raised a multitude of questions.

Who was this man, and what was his true purpose in infiltrating the hotel? 

Could his intentions have been as straightforward as eliminating Cryo Magus, or was there a more complex motive at play?

“I believe this situation is far from simple,” Ethan mused, his brow furrowed in thought.

lightsΝοvel “Have you detected any traces of curse within him? I can’t shake the feeling that he might be the Divine Protector of the God of Curses himself, and his presence here might be a direct threat to me.”

Ethan was filled with questions of his own, and the only fortunate aspect was having Shadow Elf by his side, offering guidance and insights.

However, Shadow Elf remained silent, just as perplexed by the dream world’s mysteries.

Ethan couldn’t help but wonder about the enigmatic man in black’s presence within the dream.

How had he breached the confines of Cursed Dreamland, a realm woven together by the powers of the God of Curses himself? 

The man’s intrusion indicated that he possessed some form of the God’s power, confirming Ethan’s suspicions.
