Chapter 137: -125- Vararoka’s Anchor Point

Lotti felt she had a dream.

A very beautiful, wonderful dream.

However, dreams must eventually come to an end.

The moment her true memories awakened from the depths of her mind, she gradually reclaimed her sense of self.

At the same time, the one who woke Lotti, Charlotte, also touched upon memories belonging to Lotti, just as she had touched those innocent girls’ remnants of souls before.

A torrent of memories similarly poured into Charlotte’s mind, and in a brief span, she witnessed the long memories of Priest Lotti over the past ten years...

Entering the Dark to investigate the truth behind the Flame Demon Disaster.

The struggles and hesitations in the darkness.

The repeated efforts made to find and save her sister.

And in the end, finding herself played by the Blood Demon High Priest from start to finish, a mix of anger, confusion, and despair...

Under Charlotte’s astonished gaze, Lotti’s body suddenly emitted a faint halo.

Her figure quickly shifted, soon returning to her adult form of ten years later.

At the same time, the surrounding trees rapidly withered, and thick, choking smoke gradually spread.

Along with the smoke spread the crackling of burning flames, the screams of people, and faint, eerie roars...

Lotti blankly watched her own hands, her mind gradually clearing.

As soon as it cleared, her expression instantly ignited with anger and anxiety, but upon seeing Charlotte and Sebastian beside her, it quickly turned to confusion.

Lotti raised her head, somewhat dazedly looking towards Charlotte beside her, her unfocused eyes gradually regaining sharpness:

"Charlotte... and... Mr. Sebastian?"

"What... what happened to me? Where am I?"

After speaking, Lotti hears a distant roar faintly carrying over.

She couldn’t help looking toward the source of the sound, only to see the entire sky seemingly ablaze, with red clouds continuously swirling...

This familiar yet terrifying scene blurred into one from her memories, and Lotti couldn’t help but widen her eyes:

"This... this is..."

"This is a dream aimed at you, from the night of the Flame Demon Disaster ten years ago,"

Charlotte said.

"A dream? My dream?"

Lotti widened her eyes.

Charlotte was about to continue explaining when suddenly, a thought struck her, and she looked to the side.

Then, another crisp voice slowly sounded:

"Correct, your dream, but more precisely, it’s yours and the Flame Demon Vararoka’s dream..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lotti couldn’t help but cast her gaze there, just to see a swarm of glowing fireflies suddenly fluttering in, continuously converging, and finally forming a human shape.

It was a little girl dressed in a white gown.

It was Count Broey’s eldest daughter, Mary.

Mary smiled at Lotti, her expression joyful:

"Lotti... we’ve finally met again."

"Sister?! Sister! Is it really you?"

Lotti was instantly overwhelmed with emotion.

She almost instinctively lunged forward to embrace the other, but ended up passing right through the girl’s body...

"Sister?"

Lotti was stunned.

"I’m sorry... Lotti, I’m no longer human, and being able to meet you like this is already my limit..."

The little girl said somewhat disheartened.

As she spoke, she then looked towards Charlotte, lifting the hem of her gown respectfully:

"Lord Charlotte, thank you for awakening Lotti and also for suppressing the Flame Demon Vararoka... allowing me to enter its dream."

Suppression... huh?

Charlotte thought, feeling a stir inside her.

She exchanged a glance with Sebastian, and instantly, he realized something.

"Its dream? Miss Mary, do you mean to say... this dream no longer belongs to Miss Lotti?"

Sebastian asked.

"Yes, Lord Charlotte had awakened Lotti, and Lotti had woken up, but the dream remained because it was still sustained by the Flame Demon Vararoka."

"The level of Vararoka far surpasses that of Lotti. Once Lotti lost control, the nature of this dream changed, with the changes in the surrounding scenery serving as a sign."

"The current dream... belongs to the Flame Demon Vararoka. This is a dark dream he uses to lure Lotti into falling, to use her as a medium to open the gates to a different space, thereby fully escaping the seal and resurging!"

Mary explained.

After speaking, she once again bowed to Charlotte, earnestly requesting,

"Lord Charlotte..."

"Please... you must destroy this dream and prevent the complete resurgence of the Flame Demon Vararoka!"

"Though the Flame Demon Vararoka has been in a dormant state during these years of being sealed, it has never given up on entering our world!"

"The night of the Flame Demon Disaster ten years ago, even though half of its power that broke into our world was sealed, it also provided it with an anchor point."

"While dormant, it managed to connect its other half of power to the world’s passage through the seal in different space. Once the seal is completely shattered, upon awakening, it will not possess merely half its power, but its full might!"

"That kind of power... certainly not something Bold City, certainly not the Bold Duchy, could withstand. And once it fully resurges, it is sure to continue the Divine Descent ritual of the Blood Demon Duke!"

Upon hearing the young girl’s words, both Charlotte and Sebastian’s expressions gradually turned solemn.

Lotti, however, was somewhat surprised and a sense of unease inexplicably surged within her:

"Big sister, how do you know so much about the Flame Demon Vararoka so clearly?"

Mary did not answer Lotti’s question but instead looked earnestly at Charlotte.

Charlotte gazed deeply at her:

"Miss Mary..."

"If I am not mistaken, you probably know where in this dream the Flame Demon Vararoka is, right?"

Mary nodded:

"Yes, I do know, and not only that... I also know that it has not yet fully awakened. Now is the best opportunity to interrupt its resurgence and banish it completely to a different space!"

"As long as we seal its consciousness in this dream and then completely destroy its anchor point in the real world, it will lose the chance to step into our world!"

Hearing Mary’s words, Charlotte’s gaze gradually deepened:

"You... are you fully prepared?"

Mary was slightly startled, then smiled warmly:

"Of course..."

"My existence is precisely for this day."

Listening to the vague conversation between Mary and Charlotte, Lotti’s unease grew stronger.

Charlotte sighed softly and said:

"If so, let us set forth then."

Mary nodded and then gently raised her hand.

As she moved, the withered forest seemed to come to life, parting on both sides, while a dark pathway automatically appeared on the ground, leading straight underground.

Seeing Mary’s effortless interference with the dream, Lotti’s eyes widened incredulously, a shocking speculation tumbling in her mind:

"Big sister, you..."

Mary still did not join in the conversation but instead said to Charlotte:

"Lord Charlotte, the path is ready. Let’s go."

Without hesitation, Charlotte followed by Sebastian, stepped into the underground pathway Mary had opened.

The group descended into the dark pathway, walking downward for an undetermined amount of time, until they finally reached the end...

At the end of the pathway lay a familiar dilapidated Divine Hall, identical to the Underground Divine Palace where the Blood Demon Sect held Divine Descent rituals in the real world.

In the center of the Divine Hall stood a towering altar, surrounded by layers of tumorous growths intermingling, converging above the altar, connecting to a giant and hideous eye.

That was the Demon’s eye, identical to the one seen in Mary’s transformed body in the real world!

"Lord Charlotte, this is the sleeping anchor point of Vararoka."

Mary said respectfully.

Seeing that familiar Demon’s eye, Sebastian was slightly stunned and then his expression quickly became complicated:

"Miss Mary, have you... already merged with the Flame Demon Vararoka?"
