230.

Lying on the ground, Yuna felt exhausted.

But the familiar ceiling made her pause for a moment.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before her eyes.

"Wow!"

Startled, another version of herself jumped out, scaring Yuna.

The dream... was not over yet.

"No... no!!"

Yuna immediately crawled backward, feeling extremely panicked.

"Oh oh~ Synchronized, synchronized~"

Covering half of its mouth, the dark source sneered and became excited by Yuna's reaction.

Seeing the owner of memories and its mirrored image doing the same actions synchronized, the dark source became delighted.

Like the girl, every move, every breath, synchronized perfectly.

Afraid and retreating, even when Yuna tried to escape to the wall, her body still searched for an exit as the dark source approached.

Thoughts stopped as if encountering a ghost.

However, just as Yuna was crawling to the other side of the bed, she suddenly stopped.

"Cut!"

The dark source was initially surprised but quickly calmed down.

The girl continued rolling on the bed as if trying to escape to the corner.

But Yuna stayed still, kneeling on the bed, watching the dark source.

Their synchronization disappeared, and Yuna forcefully regulated her breath, pressing her hand against her heart.

Watching the dark source, although she waved her hand, trying to twist the flow of memories, the world remained unchanged, and nothing was altered.

"...I'm already... different..."

"Oh~"

Confronting the successfully resisted dark source, it showed no anger and still spoke with ease.

"Truly a 'person of impossibilities,' you still have willpower~ But in the end, you're just a counterfeit~"

The other Yuna started to become transparent, yet the smile on her face didn't diminish.

"Let's play again next time, if... you can leave this place, false witch~"

As the dark source disappeared, Yuna finally took a deep breath.

Suppressing her emotions, she faced the dream that trapped her.

Why... can't I wake up yet?

As she asked herself in her mind, the door opened.

"Hahaha~ Time to wake up, my Yuna. We have many guests today, as usual~"

Barcelon entered and spoke to the girl in the corner of the bed.

But the current Yuna's hand no longer trembled. She remembered this scene, and her hero would appear next.

Just as Barcelon took a step forward, someone else entered from outside the door.

Although there was one of Barcelon's henchmen blocking the entrance, this man, hidden by a cloak, effortlessly grabbed the henchman's head with one hand and threw him aside.

"Who do you think you are, daring to trespass on my turf!?"

He then struck Barcelon with the back of his hand, sending him flying towards the wall.

Watching this mysterious man, Yuna felt a sense of relief.

"...My father."

Although Yuna's voice couldn't reach the man's ears, the story would continue.

"So, you're the source of this wailing magic power..."

Demon general Asmodeus looked at the girl in the corner of the room.

This was the encounter between the witch Yuna and Asmodeus.

However, the dreams did not stop when the two of them met.

"No... could it be?" Yuna quickly thought of the answer, that the Abyssal Source was ultimately just a source of magic power and couldn't control Yuna's consciousness.

She could manipulate herself, using memories to make herself feel despair once again, but she couldn't directly make Yuna despair.

In other words, what was trapping Yuna wasn't the Source of Darkness, but her own memories keeping her trapped here.

"If that's the case..."
