◈ Episode 542 Fire Moth (1)
Nirva, who was staring at the sleeping Linae, lifted her head and looked up at the sky.
Even though he defeated Ludger Chelisi, the biggest threat, he couldn’t be happy.
Now we have just climbed one big mountain.
He had a lot of little things left to solve.
Nirva’s eyes reflected the images of people entering the holy library.
“Have we already come this far? “That’s fast.”
This meant that the fight with Ludger was long, but the speed of the humans was faster than expected.
“That person called Seorn’s president joined the Dreamwalkers.”
Nirva sent five of his servants to eliminate dangerous elements.
All five families were attacked, and the number of families they killed was three.
That’s quite a bit of power.
I could never ignore that risk.
“Hmm. Besides, that old woman looks somewhat familiar.”
Nirva, who was staring at Clara Cowen, rubbed her chin.
The enormous dream energy felt from her showed that she was by no means an ordinary wizard.
Golden dust flew out and swirled around Nirva’s head.
Nirva acquired information through Dreamland by reading her consciousness and the minds of those around her.
When Nirva opened her eyes after closing them for a moment, information about Clara Cowen piled up in her mind.
“Dream Master of the Dream School? He is the leader of the humans who freely enter the goddess’ world. Come to think of it, a similar person came here a few decades ago.”
Nirva, who was stroking her chin, did not think it was a big deal.
Even though he is a Dream Master, the fact that he is an opponent we must be wary of has not changed.
Although she was an old woman, she could not let her guard down.
It was clear that the accumulated years and experience would show incredible power in this Dreamland.
Nirva was thinking of getting rid of them all from this place, but immediately changed his thoughts.
‘I’ve used up too much strength.’
The reason was obvious.
Nirva’s eyes turned to Ludger, who was falling asleep.
Although he fought as if he was displaying great power on the outside, the fight against Ludger was quite difficult even for Nirva.
Although Dreamland shows absolute power, it does not mean omniscience and omnipotence.
Although he was very strong, he was bound to get tired while fighting.
The reason was that a significant amount of power was wasted covering the entire Lederbelk city with dream sand.
‘As it is now, I can’t play pranks on the guests up there.’
Nirva also needed time to recover his strength right now.
‘I never thought this would happen because of just one human being.’
I had to immediately find the other beggars who had fallen here with Ludger, but I didn’t have time to do that.
One Ludger was like saving several people’s lives.
Only then did I understand why the Zero Order guy was so loud.
“But it won’t take that long.”
There is no need to restore all strength.
I just had to recover to the point where I could take down those people.
And it won’t take that long.
Rather, time was on Nirva’s side.
Even now, in real time, the dream energy of people who had fallen into Dreamland was arriving one after another into the depths.
A translucent green soul-like thing was seen moving across the sky, heading towards a distant obelisk.
The sight of a meteor shower being sucked in as if it were being drawn by something.
The more that energy is absorbed, the more Noksanna will gradually float into the world of consciousness.
And the moment you fully open your eyes, this world will soon become reality, not a dream.
In order to do that, we had no choice but to exert our strength.
“I’m too old.”
Nirva closed his eyes with a small sigh and entered into meditation.
To greet the guests who will come soon.

“this. “I guess I ended up seeing something I shouldn’t have seen.”
Zandman, who hid himself, broke into a cold sweat as he saw Nirva meditating.
Sedina, Seridan, and Hans were around Zandman.
“Uh, what happened? “We’re so far away you can’t see us.”
The place where they were hiding was very far away from Nirva.
Even keeping a distance wasn’t enough, so he even used Zandman’s magic to hide himself.
The reason was, of course, the fight between Ludger and Nirva.
“Seo, what happened to you, teacher? “The fierce fight suddenly stopped.”
Sedina asked with a trembling voice.
The clash of enormous forces was clearly visible even from several kilometers away.
A huge sword that fell through the dark clouds.
Waves of sand that seemed to reach the sky.
A clash of forces that makes your skin tremble.
Now that the fight was over, this silence was strangely eerie.
Instinct whispered. Something bad happened.

In response to Sedina’s question, Zandman pondered what to say, and then confessed honestly.
“Mr. Ludger lost.”
The impact of that single word was very large.
Hans, Sedina, and Sheridan’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.
Ludger lost?
They couldn’t picture that scene in their heads.
“So, are you saying that the teacher is dead?”
“no. That’s not right.”
Zandman’s eyes turned to Ludger, who was sleeping in the distance.
“The teacher is still alive. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but Nirva can’t bring herself to kill her teacher. So for now she just put her to sleep and subdued her.”
It was a fortunate thing among misfortunes.
Because it meant that as long as Ludger was alive, there was still hope.
“They didn’t kill him, they just subdued him.”
Hans stroked his chin.
Now that Ludger had been attacked, I couldn’t help but feel surprised and embarrassed, but I couldn’t help but panic.
“What is the devil’s condition now?”
“Close your eyes and meditate. “It looks like you wasted a lot of energy fighting with the teacher.”
“then… … .”
“Arthur. I can’t say now is the right time. “The teacher has wasted our strength, but if we go now, we will be defeated in no time.”
Zandman, who had been watching this fight from the beginning, knew the extent of Nirva’s power.
It is difficult for me to deal with Nirva as I am now.
If you are alone, you might not know it, but there are three people who need to be protected through Siesta.
If they stepped forward for no reason, they would only increase the number of victims.
“So you’re saying I just have to keep watching?”
“There’s nothing we can do right now. However, if reinforcements arrive soon, it will be a different story.”
Zandmann summarized the situation.
Even if Ludger relieved him of his strength, Zandman could not win against Nirva.
This is not something you should do out of fear. Even if he only embodies a part of the fight shown by Nirva, Zantman cannot even think of a single bone.
What is needed right now is an increase in the number of school members.
Grandmother Clara would have recognized the seriousness of the situation and would have come as quickly as possible.
Zandman’s idea was that after joining her, they should join forces to deal with Nirva.
“Oh, this is really a pain in the ass.”
Obviously, if you look at it rationally, that’s true, but there’s something strangely instinctively disturbing about it.
Zandmann assumed the worst.
What if Clara Cowen and other wizard reinforcements are defeated against Nirva?
At first, I couldn’t imagine that future easily, but after seeing the fight a little while ago, my thoughts changed.
In order to defeat Nirva, Ludger Chelsea is the key.
‘If you think about it, the old woman repeatedly asked you to take care of her.’
Ludger had shown an unusual appearance before, but I was convinced after seeing him fight Nirva a while ago.
Ludgar Chelisi was the only person who could defeat the demon Nirva.
‘The problem is that such a teacher is now being suppressed.’
If he had been defeated purely on skill, Zandman would have judged that there was no hope.
But Ludger was not defeated by the logic of power.
Cleverly, Nirva took Seorn’s student hostage and put Ludger into a dream.
‘There is a reason why even that devil cannot do anything to you. So, I put them in a dream to delay time as much as possible through hostages.’
If it had been a fair fight, it wouldn’t have happened like this.
What was important now was Ludger’s safety.
“The good news is that the devil doesn’t seem to be able to do anything to you right now. But I don’t think the teacher will open his eyes if we leave it like this. The dream the teacher fell into was probably not just a dream. “I think there is virtually no possibility of waking up on one’s own.”
All three people, vaguely guessing what Zandman was trying to say, gathered their attention.
“We have to assume the worst and act accordingly. So here are my thoughts. “The teacher who was held hostage over there must be stolen somehow.”
“What are you going to do after saving your brother? Should I shake it to wake it up?”
“Will you wake up just by shaking? If you’re going to do this, you need to wake him up properly.”
Zandmann said so and took out a flask from his inner pocket.
“that… … .”
“How do you think people die in Dreamland?”
No one answered that question.
To begin with, the concept of death was very unfamiliar in Dreamland.
Zandmann decided to kindly explain.
“There is a phenomenon called sleepiness. “A person who falls asleep again in Dreamland is talking about blending into this world, but in reality, he sees that as death.”
“It’s in a dream, but you’re falling asleep?”
“That’s what happens when all of your dream energy is consumed. I fall into a dream within a dream and fall into a sleep that I never wake up from. “Do you understand that it is no different from dying?”
Zandmann shook the flask in his hand.
The bluish liquid contained within it licked with movement.
“This is a medicine that wakes people from their sleep.”
“There is such a thing?”
“okay. But it’s not a simple thing at all. “This is like a spare life given only to Dreamwalkers who can dive to the bottom of the middle layer.”
It is a rare item that can only be used in truly urgent moments.
Because of the long production time from the ingredients needed to make it, it is a potion that only a very small number of Dreamwalkers can possess.
“But if you use it, Grandpa Zandman… … .”
Zantman chuckled at Sedina’s worried voice.
“If we don’t use it here, we’re all going to die anyway, so what can we do to save it? Also, don’t like it too much. There is no guarantee that the teacher will wake up even if you use this. “There is nothing bad about it.”
“But isn’t it worth a try?”
Zantman nodded in response to Sheridan’s question.
It could be said that he was rude because he spoke informally, but Zandman did not question that.
“But we can’t go rescue them right now. “That devil is deep in meditation right now, but if I get even a little closer, he’ll know right away.”
This was the reason why they went into hiding even though they were far away.
If Nirva has his way, his current hiding location will be revealed right away.
Not doing so meant that Nirva could not afford to do so, but it was correct to say that he did not have the will to do so.
If they narrowed the distance even a little, it was clear that Nirva would stop meditating and immediately go hunting for bugs.
“So you’re saying we’ll just take our time and wait and see? “And what if that devil completely regains his strength?”
“right. “That’s the problem now.”
This was the choice Zandman faced.
In his opinion, the best winning formula requires Ludger.
To do that, you first had to take Ludger out from his sleep, but that was impossible because of Nirva guarding nearby.
The most stable way is to wait for reinforcements to arrive soon.
But I didn’t know when it would arrive.
What if we arrive and Nirva finishes meditation in the meantime and regains all his strength?
No matter how Clara and other Dreamwalkers are, can they be a sane opponent to that devil?
‘It’s fortunate if I can at least buy some time. Victory is hard to picture in your head.’
To maximize that possibility, we must first interfere with Nirva’s recovery.
But here, the only one who could move was Zantman himself.
“… … Tsk. “In the end, is this the only way?”
As Zandman said that, he took off the Siesta he was wearing on his left hand and handed it over to Sedina.
Sedina suddenly accepted it and looked up at Zantman with a puzzled look.
“Grandpa? Why do I do this to… … .”
“You’re going to need that if you want to move apart from me.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that?”
Is it because I read something in Zandman’s voice?
Sedina’s eyes trembled with anxiety.
Sheridan, who was watching this, narrowed his eyes.
“grandfather. “Are you really planning to go fight that demon alone now?”
At those words, Hans and Sedina stared at Zantman in surprise.
Zandman did not answer, but chuckled and stroked his beard.
