"I thought you loved this woman." Cherry spoke as she looked at Leon.

"How about you fix your neck and then we have a talk ?" Leon asked with a smile.

*Crack*

"Okay." Cherry spoke as she immediately cracked back her neck into position.

"I love this woman but I also have a mind and my memories, although you are trying to make them fuzzy using your stupid techniques.

Like I don’t even remember so many things already about my past life and even this one, but there is one thing that you can’t make me forget and that is my death.

That memory is etched into my mind and soul both. You can’t erase that even if you tried your best." Leon spoke with a smile as he looked at cherry.

"You are right... You do have memories of two lifes and the memory of your death is very hard to erase but the more time you spend in my illusions the more your mind will go crazy and at one point your consciousness will become one with me." The mist spoke as she looked at Leon.

"And why do you think that you can keep me inside your illusions ?" Leon asked with a smile.

"You tried to get out but what you didn’t notice was that you were getting even more deeper into my illusions and what will you even achieve after getting out ?

Pain, agony and hardwork... But, if you decided to stay here, I will give you everything. I will create everything that your mind desires even the wildest dreams will come true, you will feel everything as if it’s happening in reality, touch senses will get heightened and even having sex will feel ten times better.

I won’t even allow death to hurt you." The mist replied.

"Hmm... You have all of my memories already. Why do you want my consciousness to become your part ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.

"Your mind is very strong. I will have so much fun breaking it and it’s been a while since I did that to someone." The mist spoke with a smile.

"Very well then... Give it your best fucking shot because I like to have sex with real women not some fucked up mind fantasy you are going to create." Leon spoke with a smile.

"You could’ve choosen a life so easier and yet you choose the suffering... I really can’t understand human beings.

I will create the worst demons that you have only seen in your dreams, you will feel misery and pain until your senses go numb and that’s when you will start to beg for death but I won’t give it to you." The mist spoke as she disappeared.

’From sex and having an easy life to making me die a dog’s death, well that’s an interesting change.’ Leon thought with a smile as he immediately sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.

’Illusions are really just because you think they are real. She can mimic everything from my memory but she can’t mimic the system.

Whenever I used a skill, the system shows that it’s offline but is it really offline ?’ Leon thought with a serious expression.

’Oi white fox... Can you hear me ?’ Leon asked in his mind.

’Hmm...? What happened now kid ?’ White Fox’s voice came from the other side.

’How do I believe that you are real and not the mist talking to me ?’ Leon asked in a confused tone.

*Shhhh*

Suddenly his consciousness was pulled out of his body...

*Blink-Blink*

Leon opened his eyes and noticed that he was standing on the same beache as before.

White fox was sitting on a wooden chair and enjoying the sun under a pine tree.

"What do you mean by if I am real or not ?" White fox asked as he stood up from the chair and started walking towards Leon.

"I am trapped inside a web of illusions and I doubt that even you are real." Leon spoke with a cautious expression.

"Inside an illusion...? Let me see." White fox spoke as he immediately waved his hand into the air and everything around them changed instantly.

The sky turned to night and suddenly a projection started playing all over it.

A projection of Leon’s eyes and what he was seeing.

In the projection there was nothing but a white mist dancing in front of his face, it was going in and out of his mouth, leaving him completely in a trance like state.

"Adaptive Body didn’t take effect that means the mist is something different. If only I can go back a few stairs,.." Leon spoke with a neutral expression.

"Hmm... It’s playing with your mind. Well, just fight back." White fox spoke with a neutral expression.

"How the hell am I supposed to do that ? She can control the illusions and the more I try to get out of them, the more I get wrapped up inside them." Leon replied with a confused expression.

"Well then... Change the battlefields. Take it somewhere, where you have the upper hand.

If she is controlling your mind, move your consciousness to your soul realm and fight there, I can sense some pretty strong creatures in your soul realm. Fight there you will win." White fox replied with a smile.

"Even if I kill her monsters in the soul realm... She will just make more of them." Leon replied with a neutral expression.

"No... That’s where you are wrong, once you defeat them in the soul realm, I will take care of the rest." White fox spoke with a smile.

"Are you going to take over my body ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.

"I don’t need to... Now go and move the battle to a battlefield that’s advantageous for you. Because you will only get a single chance to gain control over your body, don’t miss it." White fox replied with a smile.

"Fine... I will trust you on this one since I don’t have any other options but why are you helping me this time ?" Leon asked with a confused expression.

"If you ended up dying before learning the technique, I will stay trapped in here for even more centuries." White fox replied with a smile as he touched Leon’s forehead and suddenly his consciousness faded away returning him back inside the illusion.
