Capítulo 567: Chapter 85: Trials and Intervention

As the two children fell into deep sleep, outside the door of the Candy House, accompanied by a pitch-black smoke, the figure of an old witch silently appeared at the doorway.

She was dressed in a pitch-black Magic Robe and a pointed Wizard hat, with evil-gleaming bluish-gray eyes, a long hooked nose, and a face full of wrinkles and age spots like tree bark, looking exactly like the standard evil old witch from a fairy tale.

In a moment, the pitch-black smoke slowly dissipated, and the completely solidified old witch extended her hand to push open the white chocolate door of the Candy House.

Upon entering the house, she glanced at the furniture that had been gnawed into a mess and a sinister smile curled up at the corners of her mouth.

She did not linger on the first floor, and walked straight towards the staircase leading to the second floor, as if she had already pinpointed the location of the two young uninvited guests.

Anvis could sense all of this, and he could even hear the faint footsteps gradually approaching from outside the door.

And in this bedroom, there were hardly any convenient hiding places; the only options for hiding were under the bed or immediately escaping through the window.

He was now faced with two choices, to escape immediately or to hide nearby.

Anvis didn’t want to risk whether his hiding spot would be seen through by the old witch; he had a feeling that if the old witch ‘saw’ him, it might trigger some unforeseen changes.

But most importantly, he couldn’t sense any Life aura from the old witch. If those two children could still be considered individual entities, then this old witch seemed more like an anomaly from a Dream Realm.

As the footsteps became clearer and clearer, Anvis no longer hesitated; he directly crawled under the bed.

The space under the bed was not high, and after Anvis crawled underneath, a sweet scent of cake lingered around his nose, seemingly tempting him to take a taste.

Soon, the bedroom door opened, and a pair of dirty pointed black leather shoes approached from afar, finally stopping in front of the bed.

Anvis slightly held his breath, while at that moment, the two children on the bed were unaware of the situation, still sleeping soundly.

The next moment, strange changes began to happen.

The environment inside the room suddenly began to change; the lighting dimmed, the space flowed, spun, and smeared like paint on a canvas, and when it finally reset, it had transformed into a completely different room.

The changes in the Dream Realm did not include the few meters around the small white cake bed, hence Anvis, hiding under the bed, came into this new room as well.

The sweet scent of cake was now mixed with a strange Magic Potion aroma, a peculiar bubbling sound nearby, accompanied by the crackling of firewood and the stirring sound.

The two children on the bed were also jolted awake by the environmental change, frowning as they awoke.

After the initial confusion, the two children finally noticed the abnormality in their environment.

The previously fairy-tale-like Candy House had unknowingly disappeared, replaced by a dark and damp small cabin.

The walls were hung with strange things like lizard tails, dried frogs, and goblin ears; in the center of the room sat a large Black Iron cauldron on the fire. A figure in a black robe stood with their back to them, stirring something in the cauldron with a stick.

Seemingly hearing the sound of the two waking up, the figure’s movements stopped, and they slowly turned around. A horrifying face of the old witch came into the view of the two.

“Hee hee hee!! Two juicy tender children, grandma loves to eat the most! Since you ate my house, then you’ll repay it with your bodies!”

Accompanied by an evil-sounding laughter, the old witch approached, ready to grab the trembling children to throw into the pot.

But at that moment, the boy apparently burst out with a surge of courage, suddenly jumped up and rammed into the old witch, and then, grabbing the stiff with fear girl, ran towards the door.

Caught off guard, the old witch staggered a moment, then immediately became furious and also chased after the two children running pell-mell.

But for some reason, she did not use any magic during the chase.

However, after all, the Professionals possess superior physical bases, and adding to that the children’s unfamiliarity with the terrain, the old witch quickly caught up to the two, who were frantically running ahead.

But just as her hand was about to touch the two children, a faint White Light would flash over them, repelling the old witch’s hand and teleporting the children to another room.

However, soon the old witch would find them again and continue the previous chase.

“If this were in a fairy tale, how should the plot develop next…”

Watching the scene of the old witch chasing the two children around the house through spiritual power, Anvis felt exceptionally speechless.

He also found some issues; there seemed to be a Special mechanism in this Dream Realm. The Candy House was apparently taken from the most beautiful memories of the children, while the old witch was a manifestation of their Fear.

Furthermore, the protective Radiance on the children wasn’t unlimited; as they were caught by the old witch too many times, the light also became dimmer and dimmer.

The door of the house seemed unable to be opened, and after almost being caught by the old witch multiple times, the two children finally understood that escaping was useless.

“This won’t do, Sai’er. We have to think of a way to escape her, or we’ll definitely get caught!”

“What should we do then? Gray? The door seems to be locked, and there are no windows – we can’t escape.”

Hiding in the kitchen cupboard, the two children began discussing. At this moment, the protective glow on them was completely exhausted, and if caught again, they would face death.

“Listen to me, Sai’er; although she looks scary, she seems unable to use Magic. We can plan to push her into that big pot!”

The girl first thought of a way to save themselves and began to explain her plan to the boy.

“But, Gray, she is very strong; we can’t beat her.”

“Then let’s try to lure her by the pot and ambush her from behind!”

After a brief plan, the two children made up their minds.

Without much hesitation, while the old witch had not yet discovered their hiding place, they immediately fled to the room with the big pot they had been in before.

The subsequent events went as planned, where the two children set up a simple trap; the boy was deliberately caught by the old witch, and then the girl who was hiding in the closet rushed out from behind the witch and forcefully collided with the witch’s back.

Regrettably, the girl’s Strength seemed too weak, although the witch’s body swayed, she did not fall into the boiling pot as they hoped.

Showing a ferocious smile to the girl with a look of Despair, the old witch reached out and grabbed the girl, preparing to throw both children into the pot.

At this moment, Anvis, who had been waiting, finally took action.

An invisible force field enveloped the old witch’s body, restraining her while directly taking the two children away from her hands.

But with Anvis’s actions, a sense of immense danger stimulated his nerves like thorns in his back.

It seemed that the scene detected an unknown factor interfering: the rolling pot, the children flying from the witch’s hands, the witch being restrained… everything fell into a weird stagnation.

Then, an unstoppable mighty force emerged from the Dream Realm itself, descending on Anvis, intending to completely erase his existence.

But before this force could reach him, Anvis had preemptively bitten into a piece of cake on the bed. At the same time, the effect of the Dark Side of the Moon that emerged on him also confused this force for a moment.

The next moment, a Special wave of Dream Realm energy emanated from Anvis’s body.

Feeling the presence of this wave, the force hovered around Anvis for a while before finally begrudgingly dissipating.

Realizing all these changes, Anvis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had made a daring attempt, and the result was fairly acceptable.
