“!” Griseo, who was having a sweet dream in bed, was suddenly startled awake by an uncomfortable aura.
She opened her still somewhat hazy violet eyes.
Then, she slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes, and observed her surroundings.
It was then that Griseo noticed that no one was beside her, and Tallulah, who should have been asleep by now, was currently sprawled on the table with a dim candlelight, as if she had fallen asleep.
However, Griseo did not think Tallulah was simply asleep.
Others might not see the anomaly, but she saw it very clearly.
In her eyes, the dragon girl lying on the table was currently surrounded by a faint, illusory black mist, and this black mist was constantly stirring.
Griseo knew without guessing what this black mist was.
As for why this situation suddenly appeared, she thought it was probably her painting at work.
And just as she was about to get out of bed to do something… an unexpected sound suddenly rang out.
[Ding, “Infinite” Mobius is unlocking.
Unlock progress: 1%.] “…???)!” “???)???” After clearly hearing the voice in her mind, Griseo’s movement of getting out of bed froze.
Although her small face still showed no expression, her eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
Her already somewhat muddled little head, due to not waking up naturally, was directly hit by this, and she was completely stunned… “…” “!” After a while, Griseo finally reacted.
Then she reached out her small hand and pinched her face.
After feeling a slight pain, she finally confirmed that she was not dreaming.
?;?
Then, Griseo quickly summoned the panel and flipped to Mobius’s section.
As she expected, Mobius, which had not previously displayed a specific unlock method, now had the unlock method marked.
[“Infinite” Mobius] [Unlock Method: Collect Kashchey’s Nightmare Value] [Current Unlock Progress: 2%] At first glance at the unlock method, Griseo was so happy that she almost wanted to jump up and cheer, but her inherent emotionless nature restricted her actions.
This wave… in her opinion, it was like someone bringing a pillow when you’re sleepy; she truly hit the jackpot.
It was then that Griseo finally realized what was happening tonight.
To verify her thoughts, she nimbly jumped off the bed and walked step by step towards Tallulah.
Upon reaching the dragon girl’s side, Griseo first took a deep look at the still agitated black mist.
Then she extended her small hand, gently pushed Tallulah’s shoulder, and softly called, “Sister Tallulah… wake up.” “…” However, Tallulah showed no reaction to Griseo’s shaking and calling, as if she had fainted.
At this moment, Griseo completely understood what was happening.
Tonight, her painting was not only not ineffective, but its effect was exceptionally good, though slightly delayed.
?;?
As for why she said that, it was because Griseo had just discovered through contact that the painting’s magic not only affected Tallulah but also affected the snake residing in the dragon girl.
Now, if nothing went wrong, the Black Snake should be seeing its deepest fears… As for what those were, the Little Girl had no idea.
Of course, Griseo also didn’t know what Tallulah saw or what she was experiencing.
“Mr.
Knight… please help me carry Tallulah to the bed.” Griseo slowly withdrew her hand from Tallulah’s shoulder and softly called out to her loyal knight.
And Mr.
Knight, in his azure form, responded to his princess’s summons with the fastest speed, appearing beside Griseo almost instantly.
Then, he carried out the princess’s recently issued command, gently and courteously lifting Tallulah and walking towards the bed.
Griseo, watching Mr.
Knight’s movements, her little head was already starting to spin.
Since she now knew the unlock method for Mobius, she definitely had to exploit it vigorously until Snake was unlocked.
However, Griseo knew that Kashchey was not a fool; such an accidental mishap would happen at most once.
If it happened again, he might slip away… and possess someone else.
At that time, it would not be so easy to catch the Black Snake to shear its sheep… snake scales.
So, Griseo had to come up with a foolproof method to shear the snake scales while the Black Snake was still under influence… Even if she accidentally let the Black Snake escape in the end, it had to be after Mobius was completely unlocked.
“Ugh…” After thinking for a while, Griseo temporarily couldn’t come up with a good solution.
It was easy to keep the Black Snake; she just needed to draw a painting now and seal him inside.
But making him constantly afraid was difficult, after all, a “dream” would eventually end.
“Ah…” Just as Griseo was standing on the ground, deep in thought, Mr.
Knight had moved beside her at some point, picked her up, placed her on the bed, and gently tucked her in.
“Mm… Thank you, Mr.
Knight.” Feeling the warmth of the covers, Griseo comfortably squinted her eyes and politely thanked her Mr.
Knight… “…” After thinking for a while longer, Griseo, who still couldn’t come up with a better solution, decided to use the most clumsy method to obtain Nightmare Value from the Black Snake.
As for what this clumsy method was… it was to extend the time the Black Snake faced its fear until enough Nightmare Value was collected.
The method of extension was simple: paint a picture with the Black Snake’s colors and present it to Tallulah.
“Mr.
Knight…” Just as Griseo was about to call Mr.
Knight to state her needs, Mr.
Knight had already begun to act, setting up the easel.
“…So impressive.” After exclaiming to Mr.
Knight, Griseo once again left the warm covers and sat on her exclusive small stool.
Because she didn’t know when the Black Snake’s state would end, time was tight, so this time Griseo even directly pulled out her exclusive weapon [Starry Sky of the Past] to assist in this painting session.
This time, she planned to prepare two paintings: one to extend the influence on the Black Snake, and the other to seal Kashchey, preventing him from escaping… PS: So sleepy, going to bed, goodnight.
Tomorrow, I need to think carefully about what the Black Snake’s direct fear is… ————————
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
