Chapter415-The Domain Lord's Dream
Alice was truly terrified by Daniel's words.
She never expected that Daniel's target was actually the Domain Lord?
Did Daniel even know what a Domain Lord was?
This was a Domain Lord…
Every single Domain Lord was, at minimum, backed by Divine Mage-level power.
And she… what level was she?
Not even close!
Forget invading their dream—
Even entering would be incredibly difficult.
And once inside, the Domain Lord could notice them at any moment.
How was this any different from actively seeking death?
"Yesterday, when I entered that elder's dream, I was almost caught! And now you want to go into a Domain Lord's dream…? Daniel, I really can't do it!"
Alice begged for mercy.
"That's enough. No need for unnecessary words—just take me to his dream. Whatever happens, I'll take responsibility."
Daniel looked at Alice, still holding onto her.
Alice had no choice but to agree.
Between the risk of being discovered by a Domain Lord and dealing with Daniel right now,
She had no option.
If she refused, Daniel would definitely turn hostile on the spot.
"…Hurry up and find it."
Daniel said, watching Alice.
Alice's eyes filled with despair.
She had no choice now.
At this moment, she deeply regretted everything.
Why did she have to run into someone like Daniel?
The talent she had always been proud of was completely useless against him.
Daniel's control over dreams was far beyond hers.
"…I only have to find it, right? I don't have to go inside, do I?"
Alice asked timidly.
She really didn't want to mess with someone as terrifying as a Domain Lord!
"Find it first. We'll see after that."
Daniel was still skeptical about Alice's so-called abilities.
Alice had no choice but to activate her talent and begin searching for the dream.
As she had claimed, her gift in this area was indeed extraordinary.
It didn't take long before Alice located a very special dream.
It was so distinct that it was immediately recognizable—
A dream completely unlike any other.
It was an enormous golden bubble.
Unlike the other dreams floating around, this one was massive, dwarfing all the others.
After Alice pointed it out, Daniel quickly brought her to it.
They stood before the dream.
The golden bubble shone like a miniature sun, dazzling to the eye.
Looking at it, Alice weakly asked:
"…So, now that I've found it… can I leave?"
Daniel didn't respond.
Instead, he pulled Alice along and stepped inside.
"No! No! That's a Domain Lord's dream—!!"
Before Alice could even finish, Daniel had already entered.
—
The moment they stepped into the dream, Daniel immediately felt a powerful repelling force surge from all directions.
It was as if the dream itself was trying to reject him completely.
Alice, feeling the same terrifying force, exclaimed:
"This is the dream defense mechanism of a divine F-level existence!
The moment we stepped in, the dream's instincts began rejecting us!@@novelbin@@
If we can't resist it… we'll be ejected very soon—"
But before Alice could finish,
She noticed something.
A barrier had appeared around Daniel.
A shield formed purely from Power of Dream.
And the repelling force?
The moment it touched the barrier—
It vanished completely.
As if it had no effect on Daniel at all.
Then, another barrier appeared—
This time, surrounding Alice.
Alice's face was filled with shock.
Because she realized…
This barrier completely blocked all of the dream's rejection forces.
If she had this power…
Wouldn't that mean she could enter anyone's dream at will?
As a Dream Healer, this ability would be invaluable to her.
She could even enter the dreams of the most powerful beings!
Daniel led Alice, stepping past the barrier and fully entering the dream.
—
A grand family estate.
A shadowy figure silently slipped out through the back door.
She carried a bundle in her hands.
Outside the door, another figure crouched, as if waiting for her for a long time.
"Brown! I've packed everything. We can leave now and start our new life!"
"Good. Let's go—quickly!"

The man replied, leading the girl away from the city.
Under the cover of night, the two figures fled the city.
Behind them, the city grew smaller and smaller.
"Jina, we're finally free!"
Brown turned back, looking at the shrinking city, his voice filled with emotion.
It was the exhilaration of freedom.
And the hope for the future.
"Yes! We're free! From now on, we'll always be together—never apart again!"
"That's right! I'll protect you forever, Jina!"
As the couple imagined their beautiful future—
A dark silhouette suddenly appeared.
"Jina, you've disappointed me."
An old, yet familiar voice echoed.
Instantly, the girl's face filled with terror.
A deep, visceral fear.
"G-Grandmother…"
Jina looked at the shadow and felt her entire body go weak.
A powerless despair from the depths of her soul.
Brown's expression grew serious.
Because he knew who this was.
Jina's grandmother.
A powerful figure within Jina's family.
And also…
The greatest obstacle in their relationship.
They had thought that escaping tonight would finally break the chains.
But—
They never imagined that she had been watching them this whole time.
And Brown knew—
She would never let him leave with Jina.
"Jina, do you still recognize me as your grandmother?
Then do you remember what I told you?"
"I told you to leave that man and never see him again.
Your future has already been arranged by the family."
"Grandmother, I… I really love Brown! Please… just let us be together!"
Jina, knowing there was no escape, begged her grandmother.
But—
It was pointless.
"Silence!"
"In our family, this has never happened before!
Your future must be determined by the family!"
"Jina, I'll give you one last chance.
Come back with me now, and I'll pretend this never happened."
The old woman gazed at them.
"But if you insist on defying me…"
"Then I will eliminate the man who has bewitched you!"
Her words were like an execution order.
Her gaze locked onto Brown.
Brown could feel it.
Jina's hands were drenched in cold sweat.
At the same time, an overwhelming force suddenly seized him—
His body was lifted into the air!
Breathing became increasingly difficult.
He couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
"Grandmother! Please, let him go! He's innocent!"
"If you swear—never to see him again—I will spare him this time."
"But if I catch you together again…"
"He will be nothing more than a corpse."
"His life… is in your hands."
The old woman said coldly.
Jina fell to her knees.
On one side—Brown's life.
On the other—their separation.
How was she supposed to choose?
At this moment, Jina felt trapped.
Like she was suffocating.
The scales held two equally important things.
She couldn't let Brown die.
But she also couldn't accept being torn apart from him.
Seeing Jina's reaction, the old woman smirked.
Because she knew her granddaughter too well.
She already knew…
What choice Jina would make.
From the very start, this had all been intentional.
What do you think?
