Chapter 285: A plot
" Its mental strength is a lot stronger than yours so that's why it is so effective for you and as for fear it was partly because you were experiencing his emotions and partly because of the strength gap. "
Jayden listened carefully, and thinking that he couldn't do anything to that Divine beast made him even more mad, after a few moments of pondering he asked:
" Is there any way I can find it or stop it from pulling me into those nightmares? "
Damuda answered him: " No, whenever you sleep or fell unconscious it will definitely use that ability on you, maybe it wants to destroy this Kingdom by using you before finally ending your life. " Goddess Damuda gave her opinion.
Jayden's frown deepened, and he thought: ' Does that mean in the divination, I'll be the one to destroy this Kingdom and kill everyone? Jia, Xiao and everyone else? '
As he thought this his heart felt very heavy, he couldn't understand what to do anymore, the only solution he could think of was not sleeping at all, but that wouldn't work for too long since after his mental strength is exhausted he would fell asleep whether he want to or not.
" But what if I go to your world or the Nether World? Will I still get those nightmares? " Jayden asked, hoping to find any kind of solution.
Damuda answered him in a solemn tone:
" That won't do, it must have been using its ability on your mind for quite a few days by now, and now wherever you go, you will be affected by it.
That beast's ability is like a curse, and I can't interfere too much in this, even the last time was a gamble when I helped you in defeating those Coven members, the only possible way I can think of right now is by either killing yourself or that beast, and believe me the second one is much more difficult. "
Goddess Damuda's words hit him like a sharp knife piercing his heart, there is no way he would kill himself unless he actually transformed into a mindless creature like Caleb, Bael's general, since he doesn't want to kill anyone close to him and killing the crow like beast is almost impossible since he can't even find it.
Jayden sighed loudly, if he didn't do anything soon he believed that he would turn into something very similar to Caleb or something maybe even worse.
' There has to be a way, haa fuck I just want to kill someone. ' Jayden thought, fighting the urge to kill the people walking by his side.
Then remembering something he asks:
" Oh right, what about that stone tree I saw there? If Caleb is Bael's general then that means the place I saw in my nightmare is also present in this world then that stone tree should also be in this world, so does this mean that I went to that place during my test? "
Anna thought about it a little and spoke:
" Maybe that test is just a wisp of history that you went through but it wasn't actually reality or maybe it was another similar looking tree. " She said in a thoughtful tone.
" That can't be possible, after all even that forest seemed familiar to me. " Jayden told her.
" I'm not sure either, the only thing I can tell you right now is that these tests probably include events that must have already taken place, but no matter what you do there the past won't change. " Anna gave her final conclusion.
Jayden nodded, he was deep in thought and his eyes weren't looking anywhere as he walked forward, so he didn't notice the man walking towards him.
*THUMP*
Jayden was surprised when his body collided with someone else's, he finally looked in front and saw a man with a bulging belly, lying on the ground.
He was wearing expensive clothes and many jewelleries, his face was distorted into an angry scowl, and then he shouted at Jayden:
" You bastard, don't you have eyes, where were you looking just now? This is why I hate poor bastards with no standards, you should just stay in the gutter, humph lowly being. "
The man said, after carefully observing Jayden's appearance and after seeing his messy hair and clothes he concluded that Jayden was just a normal poor man, but in reality, all of this was a charade, he had intentionally bumped into Jayden, though he wanted to throw Jayden off balance but that plan didn't work.
Jayden looked down at him with an emotionless face which the man took as an expression of fear, he stood up and pointed his finger towards Jayden, as he spoke:
" I know thieving beggars like you all too well, pretending to bump into someone so that you can steal their money and valuables. Don't go anywhere and let me check my pockets properly first. "
The man with the big belly said in a loud tone, gathering a crowd of people around them who supported him and looked at Jayden as if he was a criminal, though many were surprised by his handsome face.
The man hastily checked his pockets and after a few moments, he looked at Jayden accusingly and shouted:
" I knew it, you stole my wallet, give it back by to me before I call the guards. "
Jayden just looked at him, there was a voice in his head that was telling him to tear apart the man in front of him into several pieces, but holding himself back Jayden was trying not to do anything.
He had just seen one nightmare and the effect was already so high, he felt that after a few more nightmares he might really end up losing his mind completely.
But the man in front of him had other plans, he wasn't going to let Jayden go just like that, he shouted again:
" You aren't going to give back my money, huh? Then, I need to call for guards, criminals like you should be treated like one, guards please help this thief here stole my money and jewellery. "
And as if they were waiting for him to call them, seven people walked from behind the crowd and surrounded Jayden, they were the guards who worked in the sect to look for any illegal activities or fights.
" Tell us, what's going on here? " One of the guards asked, already looking at Jayden as if he is a criminal.
" This beggar here stole my money and jewellery, I want you to arrest him and interrogate him properly, and he also tried to attack me earlier, even throwing me back by pushing me, look even my clothes are still dirty. "
He said, showing the dirt on his hips, and acting as if he is badly hurt.
The guards turned to look at Jayden with angry expressions, then they closed in on him and spoke:
" If you try to fight back, it'll be much more painful so just surrender without a fight. "
All seven of them slowly walked towards him, their swords drawn and pointing at him, Jayden's face was tilted downwards and anger filled his entire being his eyes glowed blood red dangerously as infinite blood lust filled him.
