ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half a day had passed since I had been stuck in this accursed place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was like an endless loop with no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at me~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Az~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to bed~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, I was stuck with the illusions of women in my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lowered my gaze slightly to find all of them laying together on the large bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Oh, fuck me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes as I turned my head up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much restriction I put on myself… it was really hard not to give in to temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am a Fallen Angel of Lust for fucksake.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dragged a hand down my face and let out a slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath me cracked as I jumped, breaking the wooden ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as I remained in the air, I saw nothing but water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was in a boat and as far as my eyes could see there was nothing but sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gravity did its work as I reached the master bed once again and the ceiling repaired itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze shifted towards the bed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha shifted on the bed, propping herself up on an elbow, her body covered with a thin fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look frustrated,\" she said gently, her voice just as I remembered. \"…Come, let me help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina, Inna and Arianell also moved forward in a lewd way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bit my lips, feeling the blood flow in my body changing directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, the thoughts halted when I saw Belly and Adaliah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They smiled like I was their long lost lover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As fucked up as I am, there is no way I would ever imagine myself with them.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand, hurling an invisible blade of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies dematerialised and regained form in just a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their smiles were still the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I guess they were here to invoke my sin of Pride.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out a sigh as I sat and leaned back in the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What type of illusion was this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha slid one leg over the side of the bed, her bare foot touching the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you fighting?\" she asked softly. \"You've already lost so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked closer until she stood right in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I saw Shyamal walking closer as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand to destroy the illusion of Siersha… but I couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion took my hand and began licking my fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shyamal on the other hand grabbed my other hand and placed it over her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Come with us.\" She said, with a gentle smile. \"We will do everything to satisfy you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept on staring at her face as I pulled my hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shyamal would never would never use the word 'we'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile remained the same as I pulled my hand from Siersha as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah, I don't want to use this….'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing my eyes, I drew in a deep breath before I used fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everything around me began to blur out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I looked through the illusion, I found a white fluffy thing attached to the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion panicked as well, rushing forward to cling to my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't let them, I launched hundreds of mana blades at the white thing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chair beneath me cracked, then dissolved into drifting particles of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor followed, then the walls, the bed, the air itself unraveling thread by thread, unable to maintain structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes once again looked at the dissolving figures until they landed on Inës.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….What the fuck was she doing here anyway.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked as I felt the world taking a different shape once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'....'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around, finding myself on a rocky island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same fluffy white things that had been attached to me were floating in hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no sky and stars, their light was the only thing illuminating the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What the hell was this place?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered as I began to walk towards the brightest light in the far distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath my feet felt rough and uneven, made of dark stone that looked ancient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floating white creatures drifted slowly through the air like seeds carried by invisible currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ignored me for most of the time but a few did reach closer to examine me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They too were moving towards the source of light just like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tweet!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I froze in my place as I suddenly heard a very familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liraz?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue bird floated over my head for a few seconds, chirping loudly before he rushed in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'..What the hell is he doing here?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but wonder as I quickly rushed where he was leading me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take me long to reach a place where one of those white creatures had Epione within its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately began to separate them, raising both my hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glowing mass dented inward as if an invisible hand had grabbed it, the surface warping, light leaking through thin cracks forming across its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature made its decision, leaving Epione's body behind, it chose to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gently guided Epione's body down before I grabbed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes fluttered open as she looked up at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tapped on her head hard. \"I asked you to stay behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a small wince she rubbed her head, standing on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were missing for so long.\" She replied. \"Sir Arawn was worried so he walked inside the portal and I joined him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arawn is here as well?\" I asked as I looked towards the light at the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liraz circled once above our heads, then landed on Epione's shoulder, still alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tiny body was tense but no longer trembling the way he had before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at Epione once more, making sure she was alright. \"Stay close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded as I began to walk towards the light once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any idea what that is?\" She asked, pointing at the creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" I replied. \"What did they make you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Epione remained silent for a long second before she replied. \"….A happy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the fuck did I get 'that' kind of illusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liraz is scared of them.\" Epione said, patting her bird. \"But I don't think he was ever afraid of anything other than a dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, I didn't feel any shred of mana from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like they were not from Lumina…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…Wait, are they invasive species?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the current situation it wouldn't be wrong to say they really were an invasive species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'….But how were they even coming here?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever this place was,\" I continued, \"it wasn't just a trap. It was a dumping ground, or a nest, or maybe a wound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wound?\" Epione repeated quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In reality,\" I said, my voice flat, because the idea had settled into me. \"Something tore, and these things were what seeped through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went silent at that, her hand resting more firmly on Liraz as we kept walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground gradually sloped upward, the dark stone smoothing out as if worn down by countless feet that no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar of light was no longer just light now; shapes moved inside it constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlapping silhouettes of wings, horns, hands, and beasts, all layered over each other like memories stacked in the same space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….What the hell is this place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My steps slowed down as I saw a figure at the end of the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elf stood with his back towards us, hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…..Well, he was never the type to lose to an illusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked closer as Arawn turned to look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are in a pocket world.\" He spoke, with a slight bow. \"I have seen something like this before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked towards the end that was a cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My jaw clenched as I saw something that I would never forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous dragon whose body had become part of the land itself, its ash-colored scales dulled by time and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its wings were torn and half-buried in stone like fallen cliffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive tree had forced its way out through the cavity of its ribcage, roots burrowing through bone and flesh as if the dragon had been nothing more than soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree was not normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its trunk was pale, almost white, with veins of soft light moving inside it like slow lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It held countless of those floating white creatures among its leaves, as if they were fruit… or offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The dragon is named Alamin.\" Arawn spoke softly. \"….And he is still alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't respond as my gaze shifted to those small creatures around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were vampires that were worshipping, trading and moving around the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…So, they are the ones who are behind the death of Asuras?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered, staring at them for a long second before I looked back at the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any idea what that tree is?\" I asked, looking at Arawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained silent for a long second before he turned to look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Azrael once told me about an Outer God.\" He responded. \"The One who was on par with the Creator God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept on staring at him without any response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe the tree belongs to her.\" He said, softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….The Mother of Endless Dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1603,"2026-06-05T21:29:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","157437ed9e4b386d2b6459c4af7f765665927d9d75abf2e8dcf926af29104d00","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-536","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-534",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
