"What? Why wouldn't he want to get out of this dream? It's just an illusion, anyway!" Rohan was shocked at this revelation.

"I don't think it really matters to him whether this place is an illusion or not. All of his desires have come to life here, and maybe leaving them to return to his life is not something he wants." Alexa shook her head in regret.

"But-" Unfortunately, no words could come out of his mouth. After all, there was no one who wasn't aware of the tragedy that befell the Briar Family.

If something like that happened to Rohan, then even he wasn't sure if he would have the courage to leave this beautiful dream.

"Let's go and find the monster ourselves. Once we defeat it, Ryder will get dragged out automatically." Alexa advised.

"But where will we find that Rose monster? The Academy grounds are huge!"

"It's not like I wasn't doing anything while that teacher was talking. I already found out where the monster is." Alexa answered.

"Already? Where is it?"

"Not here at the Academy."

"You mean it's hiding out in that fog?" Rohan questioned.

"Maybe that's the monster's way of ensuring its survival. By staying out of our sight." Alexa just shrugged. "Though whatever we do, we should do it quickly. I don't know if you are aware, but ever since we entered this dreamscape, this monster's been feeding on your mana and life force. Your bodies outside will soon be dry as a husk."

Now that she mentioned it, Rohan could feel his energy slowly getting sapped away.

"How far away is it?" Rohan asked.

"Only a few kilometers away."

"Then we should get there quickly." Not wanting to lose any more of his life force, he quickly rushed ahead.

As they left the Academy gates, the grey fog quickly blocked his vision once again. Following Alexa's directions, Rohan found himself at the familiar Indigo Road.

"The fog here there is much lighter than the outside." Rohan remarked as he walked over to the Briar household.

"Probably because this place is directly related to Ryder's desires." Alexa replied. "The monster must be inside the mansion."

As Rohan was contemplating whether to sneak in or ring the doorbell, the door suddenly opened and a beautiful silver-haired woman came out of the mansion.

Rohan quickly noticed the golden-rose hairpin that tied her long hair back into a bun.

"Hello, Rohan! Come here to kill me?" She asked, not a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Yeah. Though you seem too relaxed for a monster who's about to be destroyed."

"Oh please. Do you think I learned nothing from the way you mercilessly killed your own father?" The monster smiled at him.

"That thing wasn't my father. It wasn't even a good imitation." Rohan annoyingly reacted.

"Well, I am a good imitation of Ryder's mother. Poor guy didn't even find anything odd. He's just too broken inside."

Rohan felt disgusted that this monster was mocking his friend, all the while wearing the face of his friend's mother.

Not wanting to listen to any more of the monster's bullshit, Rohan took out his staff.

The monster just stared at him, unflinching. "Killing your friend's mother. And people call me a monster."

"You are not his mother. You are just a disgusting parasite that leeches off people's vulnerabilities."
