While Gareth’s side was erupting into battle, Tilda had also reached her destination.
This was likewise a residential building, but she had been teleported directly inside the house.
It was a large building.
Indeed, it was a noble’s mansion.
Tilda turned to look at the clergy members who had been teleported with her. After confirming everyone had followed, she headed forward.
She walked over to a bookshelf and twisted a flowerpot beside it. Immediately, the bookshelf slid to the side, revealing a passage.
This scene truly made Tilda’s expression turn strange.
'How did she know there would be a passage here?'
Tilda thought to herself.
While the noble living here was only a baron, his home wasn't exactly a place anyone could just waltz into. Moreover, a secret passage was a highly confidential matter; how could it be so easily known to others?
Harboring these doubts, Tilda led the group inside.
Their targets—the people from Dreamland Paradise—were not actually inside this secret passage. Those people were unaware of its existence.
However, the room the secret passage connected to was the very location where the members of Dreamland Paradise were hiding.
These people from Dreamland Paradise were incredibly bold, daring to openly live in a noble's home. They used illusions to bewilder the noble, remaining undiscovered for a significant period of time.
Yet they would never have imagined that their extremely well-hidden activities held no secrets in the eyes of Olivia.
Tilda led her team quickly through the secret passage until they reached another exit.
'Is this secret passage used by that baron for meeting his mistress?'
A thought flashed through Tilda’s mind.
But such things were not important right now.
At the other end, she pushed open the passage door, and a bedroom appeared before her eyes.
The owners of the bedroom, a noble and his wife, were fast asleep on the bed, completely unaware of anything.
Of course, they were incapable of noticing anything. Under the influence of the transcendents from Dreamland Paradise, they wouldn't wake up even if the house collapsed.
Tilda ignored the noble couple and instead opened the door, heading for the adjacent room.
The members of Dreamland Paradise were in the next building.
"Prepare for battle,"
Tilda commanded.
Olivia had told her that once they drew near, those from Dreamland Paradise would inevitably notice, causing battle to break out.
Therefore, their strike had to be swift and decisive enough that even if the Dreamland Paradise members sensed something was wrong, they would have no time to mount a proper response.
The point where they would be detected was just below the steps outside the room.
Tilda paused briefly at the bottom of the steps. Once she was sure everyone was in position, she struck out violently.
Like a leopard that had been coiled for a long time, she suddenly unleashed her staggering speed, charging forward and smashing through the main door to enter the building.
As soon as she entered, she saw many people lying in a deep sleep with their eyes closed. These people snapped their eyes open the moment she burst in.
'The numbers are exactly as Olivia said. She also said the strongest one is the one at the very back...'
Tilda immediately rushed toward the innermost enemy. Gripping a broad-bladed sword that erupted with a brilliant red light, she swung it down heavily.
Sword of Judgment!
Boom!
An invisible shield seemed to manifest in front of the Dreamwalker being attacked, forcefully blocking Tilda’s strike.
He stood up, his face turning extremely grim. "People from the Church? How did you find us?"
No one answered.
Tilda continued her fierce assault, swinging her broad-bladed sword. One burst of sword light after another erupted, drowning her opponent within them.
The other clergy members also charged in, launching fierce attacks on the rest of the enemies and quickly gaining the upper hand.
Olivia’s arrangements were perfect. The enemies her people faced were all weaker than themselves, ensuring they could maintain the advantage.
Thus, everything went smoothly.
...
Just as Tilda’s side erupted into battle with the upper hand, battles also broke out in many other locations throughout the South District.
In most places, the opponents were being heavily suppressed.
A few enemies were outside the magic mirror’s range of control, making precise calculations impossible. However, the King’s Domain could still display the ten strongest individuals in a given area, allowing Olivia to make suitable arrangements regardless.
At this time, Julia also took action.
Yes, Julia was part of Olivia’s plan as well.
This nun did not bring anyone else with her. Instead, she came alone to a warehouse belonging to a merchant guild, where she found a single person.
That person... was named Nightmare!
Currently, the strongest Dreamwalker from Dreamland Paradise in the South District was this person named Nightmare. She was undoubtedly a high-ranking member of the organization, possessing extraordinary strength.
As Julia approached, Nightmare immediately opened her eyes.
She was tall, dressed in moon-white robes. Her soft purple hair cascaded down, and her purple eyes blinked as she revealed a playful smile.
"I’ve seen you before. You are Julia Elliott. How did you find this place?"
Nightmare showed no panic at being discovered. Instead, she laughed unhurriedly and asked the question that puzzled her.
She had hidden herself well and was certain she wouldn't be found easily, so she was curious.
In response, Julia gave no answer and chose to strike instead.
She simply raised her hand and pointed toward Nightmare’s position. Intense flames immediately erupted there, engulfing Nightmare on the spot.
"Not willing to talk? Then forget it. We’ll have the chance to meet again in the future."
Nightmare had no intention of fighting.
The scorching temperature didn't seem to affect her at all. Her figure rapidly faded until she vanished without a trace.
She had entered Paradise.
Paradise was not a place only one’s soul or spirit could enter; the physical body itself could also enter Paradise.
Nightmare used this method to enter Paradise, thereby escaping Julia.
However, Julia was not surprised by this.
"Just as Olivia said. It seems I must enter the dream as well."
Julia murmured softly. She stepped forward, sensing the residual fluctuations in the air before taking out a pocket watch.
She manually turned the moving hands of the pocket watch back before letting them start ticking again. As the hands moved, her figure began to turn translucent, following the traces left by Nightmare to enter Paradise.
