A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

The fleet had a smooth journey and did not encounter any monsters in the canyon. It only took one day to sail out of the canyon and arrived at a three-way river mouth.

"Go south and into the sea." The man suddenly gave the order.

"This... this doesn't conform to the original route..." said the soldier in front.

"Hmm?" The man snorted.

"Yes... I'll do as you say..." The soldier was quite sensible and knew who was the boss now. He quickly paddled the boat forward instead of turning left to the east...

southward?

I feel very confused.

Could it be that the man’s destination was not Batoria?

The man in front of me spoke very little and his behavior was strange and unpredictable.

He lurked in the human trafficking group, and took advantage of the opportunity to steal his batch of goods from the scarred man...

Moreover, he specifically told himself and Carrives not to stand out...

"Mr. Maxime, have you seen this man?"

I thought that Mr. Maxim had been in the world for so long and must have seen more than me, so I asked.

"I'm sorry, Miss Wu Yue, I haven't left the library for a long time, and I don't know anything about the people and things in recent years." Mr. Maxim's tone was full of regret.

Yes, forget that Mr. Maxim, as a book, has been in the academy for at least five hundred years...

"Does Mr. Maxim know about the Sea of ​​Divine Punishment?"

"That's natural. I saw it with my own eyes that day."

"In other words, Mr. Maxim should have lived five hundred years ago?" At this point, I finally determined the era in which this dream walker lived.

"......So Miss Wu Yue was testing me...Actually, you can just ask me directly about this kind of thing..." Maxim's voice became a little lost again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Maxim, I didn't mean to test you... It's just that I couldn't help but..." I apologized quickly.

Maybe it was because of my master's influence during this period... Whenever I come across any valuable information, no matter if it is useful or not, I always want to dig for it...

"Well, in this case, in order to gain Miss Wu Yue's trust, I will tell you about my deeds in my lifetime..."

While the dream was still calm, Mr. Maxim began to tell me a story from five hundred years ago.

......

Mr. Maxim said that he was a down-and-out magic scholar in the city of Branmore. He lived in a small stone house on the edge of the city all his life, relying on the help of friends in the palace to make ends meet and doing some research on the side.

As for the content of the research, according to Mr. Maxim, it was initially illusion magic.

"I feel that illusion is the most wonderful magic, because it really allows me to live in a dream world and temporarily forget all the troubles in reality..."

These are Mr. Maxim's exact words.

Later, Mr. Maxim opened a "Dream House" in the city with his excellent magic skills...

As the name suggests, this is a store that makes people dream...

“Um...will a store like this really not be closed?” I asked when I said this.

"How could that be? Even the royal family members at that time were very fond of my shop. Every few days, nobles would come to my shop..."

At this point, Mr. Maxim didn't even use "I" anymore, but just "I" instead...

But as time goes by, things are bound to change...

Mr. Maxim's store was later forced to close because he offended the top management of Eye of Insight.

The reason...

"Those damned parasites actually wanted to use me as an interrogation tool for them? That is a sacred dream, how can it serve the damned conspirators?"

It turns out that illusion is also a common interrogation technique used by the Eye of Insight, and this technique is far more terrifying than torture...

However, I didn't expect that Mr. Maxim is such a man of integrity. He would rather close the store than go along with the Eye of Insight.

"After that, you..."

"After that, I returned to the stone house where I had lived for half my life and continued my research..." Mr. Maxim's tone was very calm at this time.

But I think it was not so easy for him to let go at that time...

After returning to the familiar place, Mr. Maxim, who had nothing to do, restarted his research on illusion, especially illusion related to dreams.

"I thought, maybe in a few decades, my time on earth will come to an end. Wouldn't I be unable to enter the dream world again? So, I made a decision that has never been made before."

“I want to live in a dream!”

......It is indeed unprecedented......

Of course, it is not easy to live in a dream. Mr. Maxim said that the first step is to be able to freely enter and exit other people's dreams.

In the past, Mr. Maxim, who only had the ability to make others dream, tried to enter other people's dreams for the first time.

But without the "Dream House", there would be no suitable place to cast spells...

So Mr. Maxim studied medicine like crazy and became a half-therapist. He traveled around the country, practicing medicine in the name of doing dream experiments...

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and one day, the experiment conducted by Mr. Maxim was leaked somehow.

Even though Mr. Maxim stated that this dream experiment was very safe and no one would be hurt, and that he was actually curing illnesses and saving lives, they could not treat him like this.

But how could the Eye of Insight let him go?

"I think those bastards are just holding a grudge and deliberately want to put me in jail so that they can take away my research results!" Mr. Maxim suddenly became emotional and started cursing when he said this.

"What happened next? What happened afterwards?" I asked quickly.

"after......"

The Eye of Insight does not have Mr. Maxim's attainments in illusion, so naturally it can only use the most primitive torture method.

Mr. Maxim said that at that time, there was not a single part of his body that was intact and he was living a life worse than death.

Fortunately, Mr. Maxim's dream magic has long been perfected. Although his body is imprisoned, his consciousness can still be free from the body and enter anyone's dream as he wishes...

"Although it goes against my beliefs, this is all for research..."

The reason why he was so eager to complete the unfinished research was that Mr. Maxim felt that his time was running out, and if he continued like this, his life would rot in the dark dungeon of Branmore City.

"Thank Goddess for your mercy. At least you allowed me to complete the last experiment before my body died."

"The final experiment?"

"Yes, that's me you see now." Mr. Maxim said proudly.

Although there was an element of gambling involved, Mr. Maxim still succeeded. His consciousness was completely separated from his body before his death, and nothing was left.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Maxim got into the mind of the senior executive of the Eye of Insight who had harmed him, and made trouble in his dreams every night, eventually driving him crazy. It was at this time that the nickname "Dream Walker" spread.

That was the only time Mr. Maxim actively used this ability to hurt someone, of course, it was for revenge...

For a period of time thereafter, there were also powerful people who tried to kill this "Dream Walker".

Unfortunately, although Mr. Maxim's strength was very average during his lifetime, he is now a "Dream Walker", the person who has the most thorough research on dreams in the entire continent, and the master of dreams. Even a Saint-level strongman can't do anything to him.

In a sense, this is the benefit of reaching the pinnacle in a certain field...

"But...good times must come to an end," Mr. Maxim continued.

Suddenly one day, a riot broke out in the palace of Branmore City, and then a beam of light fell from the sky, splitting the continent in two. Mr. Maxim's temporary body also perished along with Branmore City...

However, this power to cut the continent had no effect on Mr. Maxim, who only had consciousness left and could not even be called a "soul".

As the only "zero distance" witness of this natural disaster, Mr. Maxim did what many powerful people could not do...

"Dream Walker" deserves it...
