Chapter 284: Entering the Dream
The biting cold began to freeze from the deepest part of my heart.

But this doesn't seem to be just low temperature.

This is different from taking the Water Ghost King's heart essence, where the chill penetrates the heart and lungs, and as soon as you open your mouth you get a stream of ice.

When using the One-Eyed Ghost Spirit's Purifying Spirit, it was as if I encountered great fear from the depths of my soul.

It is not the temperature that is frozen, but death that is ordering all life and vitality to disappear completely.

Soon.

The witcher's face turned as pale as a deathly man.

With a strange wave, he floated up directly in the icon room.

Followed by.

"what?"

Following the witcher's exclamation.

His hands suddenly became somewhat transparent, as if the demon's body was somewhat unstable due to the fierce attack.

next second.

A biting chill broke out instantly, and every part of his body was completely immersed in this lifeless coldness.

"Plop~"

Heavy objects fall.

At this moment, all the leather armor and clothes actually passed through the body and fell to the ground.

The whole body became completely translucent at this moment.

He seems to have...transformed into a spirit?
But he didn't stay shocked for too long, probably only two or three seconds.

The coldness in my body warms up.

"Crack~"

The witcher stepped back onto the ground.

"Chirp~"

The long silence was broken by the birds waking up in the early morning.

Ailin looked at his hands in confusion.

These hands are rough and full of calluses, very real.

He looked down again.

After intense training and fighting, the body is full of strength, and the muscles are knotty but very symmetrical and beautiful.

As soon as he clenched his fist, all the muscles in his body tensed up rapidly, ready to exert all his strength at any time.

There was no trace of the translucent spiritual state just now, and the feeling of emptiness, powerlessness, and floating in the air was gone.

"How weird!" the witcher muttered.

How can a purified spirit make the body become nothingness?
What kind of power is this?
Open the panel with a thought.

[Name: Ailin]

[Title: Child of Miracle]

【Level: 48】

【生命值：100%，体力值570/570，魔力570/570】

【属性：力量51，敏捷47（+5），体质57（-1），感知61（+14），神秘69（+10）】

【亲和：水12（魔源·水2%）（+1）、地7（+1），风6（+1），火1（+1），空间2】

!!!

A portion of the one-eyed ghost demon's purified spirit directly increased his attributes by twenty-nine points!
However, compared with other heart essences, some will have greater improvements, some will have less improvements, but generally each attribute will be improved differently.

The purification of the one-eyed ghost spirit only increases agility, perception and mystery.

Even the physical fitness has decreased a little.

"Is it because the 'spiritual' state just now caused some damage to the body?" The demon hunter had some guesses in his mind.

But no matter what.

Using a little loss of physique to increase the three major attributes of agility, perception, and mysticism by 29 points is worth it no matter how you look at it.

Another thing worth mentioning is elemental affinity.

do not know why.

Although it is the crystallization of spiritual creatures, the purification spirit of the one-eyed ghost demon spirit has evenly improved the four basic elements of the demon hunter world: water, earth, wind, and fire.

The witcher feels that this seems to imply some kind of law or rule in the witcher world, which may be related to the principle of the emergence of ghostly creatures.

It's just that with his current knowledge, he can't figure it out.

With a thought, he used up the purifying spirits of the remaining two one-eyed ghost spirits one by one.

The biting chill arises from the depths of the soul.

The demon hunter transformed into a spirit once again and floated up.

【生命值：100%，体力值570/570，魔力570/570】

【属性：力量51，敏捷50（+3），体质55（-2），感知68（+7），神秘73（+4）】

【亲和：水14（魔源·水4%）（+2）、地9（+2），风8（+2），火3（+2），空间2】

"The effectiveness has diminished greatly!" The demon hunter frowned.

Each time the One-eyed Ghost Demon's Purifying Spirit is used, the attributes improved are one-third of the previous time, but the physical condition weakened is a fixed amount.

The last time, taking into account the declining physique, the total attributes improved were only three points.

This decays much faster than the Heart Essence of the Water Ghost King and the Heart Essence of the Giant Swamp Fairy.

"Next time if I obtain the Purification Spirit of the One-Eyed Ghost Spirit, it may only reduce its attributes after using it, instead of increasing them..."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have left the last one-eyed ghost spirit's purified spirit for Vesemir or Vera or Mary to use..."

The demon hunter thought.

But it doesn’t matter.

Celestial Sphere Convergence - The demon spirit has been activated and is full of "energy", ready to be used at any time.

[Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit II (Kill Demon Spirit 110/300)]

One third of the hunting mission has been completed. Although the monsters are hard to find, who knows what will happen in the future?
Before coming to Elland, he had never expected such a big incident to happen here...

but……

"This time, the intersection of the celestial spheres did not attract the Wild Hunt who had just left..." The demon hunter touched his chin and thought.

At that time, he had no choice but to complete the "Hunting Mission: Demon Spirit I" because of the surging tide of ghosts.

and.

Not to mention the incident involving Ben Ade, since the nature of the Sphere Junction in The Hunting Notes is still unknown, it is possible that it originated from the Gate of Ade Geth in The Wild Hunt.

He summoned the Confluence of the Spheres three times in Kaer Morhen, but the Wild Hunt did not appear.

So there is more or less a little chance that it won't attract the Wild Hunt.

of course.

Most of the time, they have no choice but to take this gamble.

therefore……

Unable to determine what level of celestial conjunction would attract the Wild Hunt?
How to solve, or safely kill or escape from the Ain El that were attracted?
Before these two problems were solved, Ailin would not dare to use the Celestial Sphere Conjunction again unless he encountered a special situation like today.

but……

"If the Wild Hunt's goal was the Gate of Ard Ghaith, why did they come to Elland after leaving the Flotsam?"

"This is clearly going in the opposite direction..."

The witcher was puzzled by this.

"I don't know how Vesemir is doing. Although I killed the King of the Wild Hunt thousands of times in my previous life, the information about the Wild Hunt revealed in the novels and games combined is pitifully little..."

Thinking of this, the demon hunter sighed again and shook his head.

With a thought, he opened the Demon Hunting Notes again.

Just as he was about to open the monster's treasure chest, he suddenly remembered something, and with his mind he called up the system message.

Outside of Elland City, just after completing the crusade, he remembered that completing the main quest seemed to reward a skill.

But at that moment, Vesemir rode over on horseback and diverted his attention.

[Main quest completed: Ghost's revenge carnival (eliminate the demon 1614/1614)]

[Reward: Entering the Dream]

Dreaming of God...

The demon hunter only then noticed that although he had always thought that "Dreams of Passion" was a skill, there seemed to be no level behind these four words.

Regardless of whether it is identification or tracking, after completing the main quest, the reward will be accompanied by a LV1 suffix, so...

The Demon Hunter switches the Demon Hunting Notes to the Character Panel.

really……

This skill does not exist in either the special skills or the ordinary skills column.

Character panel, inventory, character bar, monster picture...

"Huh~"

The demon hunter exclaimed in surprise.

When his mind flipped through the interfaces of the Demon Hunter's Notes, he actually saw a new interface after the monster illustrations. The label of that interface on the ancient parchment book of the Demon Hunter's Notes was "Dreaming with Gods".

But the entire page under this label is blurry, like a small map in a game with the fog of war turned on.

There are only two buttons in the center, "Communicate with God" and "Enter Dreams", and there is no explanation about these two "functions".

The demon hunter froze in his tracks for a moment.

"Is this something we can only guess at?" He smiled bitterly and began to ponder.

"God, God...God..."

The demon hunter muttered, looking up at the three holy statues of the goddess Meliteli, who looked as kind and gentle as always.

Thinking of the gods, and being in the iconostasis room of the temple, the goddess Meliteli naturally came to mind first.

"So the meaning of being a god is that you can contact the gods?"

The demon hunter was somewhat moved.

He had originally planned to wait until the Purification Spirit was used and the treasure chests were opened before meditating as usual.

Let’s see if he will be pulled into that space by Goddess Meliteli again to collect the “reward” for his commission.

But now.

There seemed to be other, safer ways to meet the goddess Meliteli.

He hesitated for a few more seconds.

Thinking back to the time when Demon Hunter Notes often cheated him of monster rewards, it certainly didn't do anything to endanger his life.

There had never been any danger in the temple's iconostasis.

The witcher took another look at the statue of the goddess Meliteli, gritted his teeth, and moved his mind.

"Ding! Do you want to spend 100 experience beads to reach the divine [Meliteli]?"

"Warning: There may be a high risk of encountering gods through the gods, please use it with caution!!!"

A blood-red warning flashed before my eyes.

It is indeed used to contact the gods, but...

"100 experience beads at a time, isn't that a bit... too expensive?"

The witcher was a little shocked.

One experience bead is equal to the value of one hundred small experience beads, for a total of one thousand experience points.

One hundred experience beads equals one hundred thousand experience points.

He now only had a total of more than 150 experience beads, which he had been saving hard after Ban Ade, intending to upgrade Flashing.

You spent two-thirds of my assets just for this one divine power session. Isn't that a bit too much?
The witcher was outraged.

Under the gaze of the azure cat's eyes, the Demon Hunting Notes remained unmoved.

a long time.

100 experience beads, not a single one was reduced.

"Eh~"

The witcher sighed and stopped such childish actions.

of course.

He didn't plan to spend a hundred experience beads to become a god now.

At least not now.

It is not certain whether Goddess Meliteli will contact him again.

Why spend money when you can get it for free? Why spend so much?
After making the decision, the demon hunter clicked on another option - to enter a dream.

"Ding! Do you want to spend 10 experience beads to enter the dream?"

You want money, right?

And this time, there was no mention at all about the specific purpose of entering the dream.

The demon hunter was a little angry.

But after thinking about it, he held out a glimmer of hope, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to fall asleep.

next moment.

"Om~"

Ten experience beads disappeared and the wolf emblem hummed.

The demon hunter's eyes went dark.

When I came back to my senses, I found myself in a dark space.

"It seems a little familiar..."

The demon hunter thought.

Then, before he could see his own form clearly, a large number of pure white light balls suddenly appeared around him.

Some are big, some are small, some are far, some are near.

When the demon hunter looked over there, he also found that there were thin lines extending from his round and colorful body, connecting to these light balls.

Yes.

Ayling is also a ball.

This place is exactly the same as the space where I last saw Goddess Meritelli and received the May Day warning.

Ailin was stunned for a moment, then observed carefully for a while.

He found that although the light balls around him were all white, the closer they were to him, the larger they were, and the thin lines connecting them were also thicker.

"What are these balls of light?" the demon hunter wondered.

Feeling these light balls, there seemed to be no threat, and there was also a faint feeling of closeness.

After hesitating for two seconds, the demon hunter followed the information coming from his mind, extended a small round tentacle from his spherical and colorful body, and carefully touched the nearest ball of light.

"Om~"

The moment the two came into contact, the ball of light suddenly trembled and made a humming sound.

“Hughes?!!!”

Ailin shouted in surprise in the dark space.

No one responded.

The ball of light also remained silent, but the witcher was very sure that the ball of light was Zeus.

I thought about it.

The demon hunter retracted his round little tentacles and stretched them towards another ball of light.

This is Bunter.

Next one.

Fred.

When the tentacles touched a light ball further out, everything became clear to him.

This ball of light is Erni, a member of the Arryn Demon Hunting Corps.

Look around.

There are ten light balls in total, which is exactly the same as the number of corps members.

So what's the point?
The demon hunter thought for a few seconds and came up with a guess.

The spiritual tentacles once again touched the ball of light representing Zeus, and were about to do something.

But I didn't expect that in the next second, the perspective would suddenly retreat, and ten light balls would fly directly into a long line at such a high speed.

Wait until you come back to your senses.

A kingfisher, its tiny claws clinging to a crack in the high wall, was looking at him with its head tilted.

The bright sunlight shone from behind it, casting a huge shadow in the iconostasis room, like a pointed monster with bared fangs and claws.

"Chirp~"

Seeing the witcher looking at it, the kingfisher chirped and flew away.

"Whoo~"

Ailin let out a breath.

"Is there not enough time?" He thought as he looked at the "Entering a Dream" in the Demon Hunting Notes.

Entering a dream should be similar to the dreams in the myths of previous lives, right?
Remotely transmit information to members of the Demon Hunting Corps.

Ailin guessed in his mind.

It’s a pity that by the last minute, no message had been delivered to Xius.

But he wasn't going to try again for the time being.

Ten small experience beads, totaling 10,000 experience points, only last for less than a minute. It's too expensive.

And for the time being, Ailin doesn't seem to have this need.

However, if "entering a dream" is really as he imagined, it might be very useful at some point in the future.

It was already bright outside, and the demon hunter thought about it and turned back to the inventory.

[Ding! The demon's treasure chest*18 is opened]
