Chapter 240
Chapter 241 Awakening from the Dream Web
Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien stayed by her side the whole time, and one by one, they proposed to her. The four of them lived happily together and enjoyed a carefree life.
But Joanna felt something was off.
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her soul, like something had poked her.
A thought hit her mind like lightning. If all the demons are gone, why isn’t my mission complete? Why didn’t I go back to the academy? Why am I still here as Starlord?
The moment that thought appeared, the world started to fall apart.
Joanna snapped her eyes open.
She realized she had only fallen asleep for a moment and slipped straight into an illusion.
Luckily, she had prepared for this.
Before coming here, she had coated SpyBee’s stinger with a mild mental toxin and set it so that every five minutes, SpyBee would sting her once.
That setting forced her to wake up inside dreams.
Dreamweaver Spiders completely surrounded their team, and layer after layer of Dreamweave Web covered them. The more web wrapped around a person, the deeper they fell into the dream.
Once trapped long enough, people would start believing the dream was real, and in the end, they would be hypnotized, misled by illusions, and even hurt themselves.
“Wake up p>
Joanna shouted and activated Lash Purgatory, dragging everyone into her domain and snapping each of them with a whip.
She lashed the Dreamweaver Spiders within her range again and again until they were torn apart.
Joanna’s Celestial Gaze swept through the air. Among the countless spiders, she spotted one that was very different.
It was a pure white spider. When her eyes locked onto it, its white body reflected rainbow light, sparkling like a diamond in the sun.

It wasn’t huge, about the size of a three-story house. But it had countless compound eyes. Inside every eye, a different scene was playing. They were dreams of countless people.
This creature was the Spidra. Its dreams were area-wide attacks.
Because of that, Joanna’s Innate Bewitchment had failed earlier.
Right now, the Spidra was busy controlling others and couldn’t focus on Joanna, so she immediately used Lash Purgatory to wake Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien.
They had all fallen into the dream, too. In the dream, they lived together with Joanna. Those days were too beautiful. They had sunk deep into it without realizing anything was wrong.
In fact, it felt exactly like their real lives. Nothing seemed strange at all.
Only Joanna woke up first.
The next moment, the three of them turned into streams of energy and merged into Joanna’s body. Her attributes surged. She then grabbed the Spidra and dragged him violently into Lash Purgatory.
Without the Spidra attacking, the others quickly regained their senses.
After all, Joanna’s whip had “helped” wake them up.
When they saw the massive spiders right in front of them, screams rang out as everyone launched their attacks.
Every weapon had been coated with mental toxins. They fought the giant spiders head-on.
mon!” Cassian roared.
elded a level 60 longsword, which he had just bought using a loan from the Ascend Corp. he blade was also coated with a soul-corrosion potion.
But the moment he got close to the Spidra and struck once, he was dragged back into a dream again.
Thankfully, the dream shattered after one second.
Joanna was still attacking the Spidra.
The battlefield became strangely surreal.
Everyone’s movements were jerky and unnatural.
They were pulled into dreams again and again, then yanked back to reality when Joanna

interrupted the Spidra. They recovered, attacked, then fell back into dreams once more.
This went on for a full three hours.
When Joanna’s Symbiotic Fusion had only three minutes left, the Spidra’s soul power was finally exhausted.
With a thunderous crash, the Spidra collapsed, and his soul was destroyed.
As he died, the Dreamweave Web covering Aqualis began to fail.
Warriors who had been trapped in dreams broke free and joined the counterattack against the demons.
At that moment, Joanna’s mission panel burst into radiant rainbow light.
