Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 372 Eternal Night

"Pfft hahaha..."

Yi Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing. This was such a illogical and lame plot, he felt like he could write it better himself.

Seeing Iin laughing, Hiyama Rie had no intention of stopping him.

"Why, you don't believe me? Or do you think this is a prank by the Dream Master?"

In response to Hiyama Rii's questioning, Iin finally decided to launch the attack.

"I finally realized that your sister was just being used by you. The one who really wanted to frame me was you, Hiyama Rii!"

Iin's words were so powerful that Hiyama Rie felt a little unhappy.

She nodded slightly, indicating that she did not comment.

"How interesting! It seems you're not hopelessly stupid yet. Well, let me be frank. I'll take your life. The only person present who can survive is me!"

Hiyama Rii's small body seemed to burst out with infinite potential.

Beside her, the Dream-Eating Ghost Basket also appeared.

When she saw the Dream-Eating Ghost Basket, Uesugi Ai seemed to remember something.

"Li Yi? What are you doing? Is this my dream?"

"This is our shared dream."

Hiyama Rii smiled cruelly, "Among us, only one person's consciousness is destined to escape. If that fails, then burying someone else would be a good option."

Yiyin sighed. What he was worried about finally happened.

The Dream Eater is an S-class psychic monster that can force up to three people into a dream at the same time.

It was difficult to tell whether Hiyama Riki's words were true or false, but only one thing was certain - Iin was in trouble.

"I can't get lost here, Hiyama. Whatever you have in mind, give it up."

"Give up? Never. You can continue to drag it out. After all, as the owner of the Dream Devourer's Basket, I am immune to some of the damage it causes. When your consciousness completely dissolves into dreams, the final victory will still belong to me."

Hiyama Rii was extremely proud, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Breaking my mental defenses won't be easy. Hiyama, even if your monster is truly S-rank, it can't possibly be all-powerful. This type of domain-based ability is subject to significant limitations, so you can't judge me as you please. You can only use words to lure me into your trap."

Iin was unfazed by Hiyama Rii's threats. "Besides... what makes you think you'll win? If I were truly certain I was finished, I could just attack you... If I died in a dream, what would happen in reality? You know that, right?"

"To maintain the dream, the Dream Devourer will definitely consume a lot of its energy. If Xiaolu and I were to fight to the death, are you sure you can withstand it?"

Iin looked at the wheelchair where Hiyama Rii was sitting. Even in her dreams, she couldn't stand up.

"Even if I really have to sacrifice myself, I won't let Li Yi die before me."

Uesugi Ai stubbornly stood in front of Hiyama Rii.

At that moment, Uesugi Ai finally dropped all her disguises. There was only one thing she wanted to do from the beginning to the end.

"you sure?"

Iin raised an eyebrow. "Uesugi, Hiyama has dragged us all into the same dream, and he no longer considers your feelings. Why do you continue to be so stubborn? The one who is truly wrong is obviously Hiyama!"

"Maybe so."

Uesugi Ai smiled and said, "But who made me her sister?"

"correct."

Hiyama Rii also laughed, "I knew that my sister loved me the most and would never leave me alone, right?"

--calm.

Yi Yin knew they were acting for her, that she was still in a dream within a dream. She had to remain skeptical of everything.

"You are wrong. Your feelings are fake. It's just someone's wishful thinking. I - deny all of this."

"negative?"

Hiyama Rii laughed and said, "Is this your final form of resistance? You deny the meaning of dreams? Dreams are a continuation of reality, so are you also denying the meaning of your own existence? If so, then you've accomplished nothing..."

"Even so, I will deny everything."

"No matter how much you talk, Hiyama, you can never be like a normal person."

Yi Yin looked at the Dream-Eating Ghost Basket. It was motionless, like a stone statue.

"Would a normal person put their sister in such danger? Or is this your true purpose? Do you want to abandon your real identity and devote yourself to the dream world?"

"No, no, no, Li Yi wouldn't do that."

Uesugi Ai vetoed, "As long as I hand you over, Li Yi will be able to stand up again, even if I can't see, but..."

"No buts."

Yi Yin refused to admit it. "Dream Eater's ultimate skill, 'Eternal Night', can do this. She just wants to spend eternity with you."

"..."

Now, it was Hiyama Rii's turn to remain silent.

Eternal night is coming.

The Dream Eater is unable to use this ability yet because it is not in its complete form.

If you want to grow into a truly complete form and get rid of your incomplete appearance, you must first devour a psychic monster with abilities similar to "dreams", and the higher the level, the better.

For example...the Starry Unicorn.

In fact, the true identity of the "bait" should be Yi Yin. His role is to attract the "big fish" Isabella to come to support.

If Yiyin is really forced into a desperate situation, Isabella will never sit idly by. That will be a great opportunity for Hiyama Rii to succeed!

But Hiyama Rii's wishful thinking ultimately failed.

"you're right."

Hiyama Rii's face was filled with weariness. She probably didn't have the strength to let the Dream Eater maintain her dream.

"Li Yi! What nonsense are you talking about! You are still young, you can't..."

"Sister, I'm tired."

Hiyama Rii looked at Uesugi Ai. There was no sadness or joy on her face, only endless tiredness.

"Yiyin is right. Everything is meaningless. He denied everything and did what I always wanted to do but didn't dare to do. I originally wanted Dream Eater to use Eternal Night, but now I have changed my mind."

"Isabella won't come. She believes her brother will be able to overcome the difficulties, just like I believe you will always come to save me."

"Do not……"

Uesugi Ai looked troubled. She had persisted until now just to make Hiyama Rii feel better. If Hiyama Rii was not happy, then what was the meaning of her own existence?

"It doesn't make any sense at all, sister."

Hiyama Rii pulled Uesugi Ai over and gently held her in her arms, just like when they were little.

"This world is too fucked up. I don't want to face it anymore. Even if Eternal Night doesn't come, so what? Where my sister and I are, that's my whole world."

At that moment, Yiyin felt like an outsider.

Soon, the scenery in front of him began to distort and change rapidly. A layer of mist seemed to appear in front of Yiyin's eyes, making him breathless.

However, out of the instinct for survival, Yiyin still shouted desperately.

Unfortunately, no one answered.
