Chun was amazed: "We will alarm the rear even if we just eliminate the opponent. How can we capture alive?"

Mina whispered: "There are two ways. One is that this Dream Master is still somewhat resistant to this situation due to concern over wages and hasn't fully indulged. I can go outside the Dream Realm and forcibly steal this dream, but it might alarm these 7 Cursed Demon Souls, and then we'll have no choice but to silence them. This method is labor-intensive and unstable."

Chun was dumbfounded: "What's the benefit of capturing alive?"

Mina said: "The benefit of capturing alive is that we can slowly study thereafter, and there's a chance to trace back to the source of the curse, which is the whereabouts of the opponent's true form."

Indeed, last time this trick was utilized through the Conch Lighthouse to attract an Andariel, and it ended up getting struck by the Ten Lords.

Chun exclaimed: "Isn't the true form just the nightclub in the fortress?"

Mina shook her head: "The nightclub should just be a mere proxy's glove. If the real body of a Demon Race appeared in the army, it would be a bit too rash."

Alright. Chun asked: "What's the second method?"

Mina chuckled: "Of course, don't break this atmosphere. Wait until the Dream Master collapses, and the master takes over. With the master's valor, the opponent surely can't endure it and will faint, and then we can capture them alive..."

Chun was stunned! Is this asking me to do such a thing? You actually don't understand the master.

Chun firmly refused: "I won't go; it disgusts me!"

Even though his mind was full of Dancing Girls, they are clean and pure, unlike these diseased street dancers. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Mina laughed: "Since that's the case, we'll go with the first method then."

So Chun and Mina quietly left the Dream Realm. Mina took out an oxygen tank again, flew around the Dream Realm spraying a circle of black mist, completely obscured the dream, then began compressing and moving it!

When the Dream Realm was compressed to the size of an apple, no unexpected situation arose.

– System Prompt: Congrats! Your team's High Tier Dragon Soul Nightmare Mina successfully stole a deep Dream Space, gaining skill training.

Chun was pleased: "Seems like it went smoothly!"

Mina smiled: "Perhaps it's because it's just a small soldier, and the opponent doesn't take it seriously."

Chun and Mina left the small soldier's consciousness with their spoils. Meanwhile, Chun, with his stirred emotions, lost interest in investigating anything about the Shadow Demon. After all, he already knew the apple was rotten; was there any need to know more rot? Encountering worse would be dangerous; now Chun was more worried about the situation in the city.

"Better go back to find Bilenna."

"Okay, master."

They returned to the valley to find Bilenna. Bilenna laughed: "I've digested some of it and transmitted some Shadow Demon power to Aileen. It's feeling quite normal now."

That's good. Chun also contacted Aileen: "Aileen, open a Teleportation Gate and send this Dream Space through."

Aileen, who had been watching in the mirror all along, said: "I have a plan. This Dream Space suits our ballroom well. I'll set up a room in the ballroom to unfold this dream, and arrange personnel to guard it, and see how it develops..."

"Alright, let's do that."

After transmission, Bilenna set off invisibly flying towards Black Iron City.

Crossing several hills, the brightly lit Black Iron City loomed in the distance.

Chun suddenly recalled something: "Bilenna, when we initially came out, we were wanted by the Mercenary Guild, right? Now, this wanted notice doesn't seem canceled. Is there anything to worry about?"

Bilenna laughed: "Last time the Bone Dragon Evil God appeared, the Mercenary Guild sent people to scout, suffering heavy casualties. Many souls of the deceased were captured by the Evil God, unable to be resurrected. What power could now chase me? Not to mention, I'm much stronger than back then."

Chun suddenly remembered something: "The Evil God's capture is within the Divine Format?"

"Should be, right?"

Chun exclaimed: "But that Evil God's Divine Format was swallowed by the Giant Whale in the Silver City battle."

Bilenna was surprised: "Are you certain it's the same Divine Format?"

Chun was stunned: "Not sure."

"If it is, perhaps the Whale has dozens of Mercenary Souls."

Chun suddenly had a chilling feeling: "The Whale is my mentor. Is it capturing the souls of dozens of people, not letting them resurrect? Doesn't feel right, does it?"

Bilenna sighed: "Maybe it's just a Whale, not knowing how to use this Crystal Core? And there's a possibility that these souls were directly devoured by the Evil God, like how I devoured two Mammon to silence them."

Chun sighed: "Hope these dozens resurrect."

Bilenna sighed: "So much time has passed; even if resurrected, they'd be Necromancers."

Chun was abruptly shocked: "Necromancers?"

"Yes!"

Holy Shit, did I discover a method to change races? As long as a player dies and their soul is captured—Aileen was intercepting back when attacking Demonized Bats. Then, if continuously intercepted without resurrection, might they become Necromancers?

However, speaking of it, it's been over ten days? No action from other city's ancient tomb Evil Gods? Or are they preparing a grand move after two consecutive failures?

While pondering, Black Iron City arrived.

Although Bilenna is confident, she's still quite cautious, sticking to the eaves while flying. Feels like when she was weak, only daring to stick to the walls while walking down the Lost Paradise streets.

It was then, the night market district ahead, amidst the bustling crowd, there seemed to be a performance?

Bilenna was amazed: "It's Amy!"

Flying closer, indeed, Amy in a lavish outfit was dancing. Beside her, several bodyguards maintained crowd boundaries. Among them, Chun noticed a player "Peeping Immortal" also maintaining order.

Holy Shit! Chun instantly irritated; definitely this bastard.

Bilenna also seemed annoyed: "It's 9 PM. How long has she been playing? Did she practice five hours today?"

Chun sweated: "She has the Dark Soul Witch looking after her, so it should be fine, right?"

Bilenna scoffed: "Wait till she goes home, then let's talk to her. Now that she's not returning to the mansion, even visiting the Count's Mansion to see the mirror is inconvenient."

Chun had plans: "Head to the Vivian Tavern's kitchen, and spy on how the baker makes French bread."

Bilenna laughed: "Alright, but I can't go inside; I'll wait for you on the roof."

Flying near Vivian Tavern, chimney smoke was billowing, and inside it was bustling with voices, clearly indicating good business.

So Chun and Mina prepared triple concealment, leaving the Demonized Bat, ready to find a rear window to enter when Mina suddenly sensed something amiss: "Master, I smell a Nightmare aura!"

Chun was amazed: "There's a Nightmare here?"

Mina said solemnly: "Though the residual aura is faint, I'm sure of it! And it's very strong!"
