You must be feeling quite conflicted right now, sensing my beauty yet refusing to admit that you are attracted to it?
Lilith broke the stagnant air.
There is no need to feel ashamed of being dazzled by me. As a Dream Lifeform and the original Incubus who governs the human subconscious, I naturally appear in the form of the most beautiful and charming image that strikes at the heart of the dreamer.. If you were not attracted to me at this moment, it would actually be a dangerous sign.
However, this is not my Dream, I am under no obligation to be attracted to you.
Wood was assertive.
Cain, however, looked deathly pale, as if—
.. Could this be your Dream?
Noticing Cain's abnormality, Wood asked in a low voice.
Cain remained silent.
Seeing this, Lilith raised his soft, fair fingers, looking at Cain and Wood with eyes as tender as water.
Come back to my side; stop trying to prove this so-called independence and selfhood. Only by staying by my side can you obtain the eternal peace you crave most.
—Sorry, I refuse!
Facing the temptation, Cain blurted out, "I still regret my decision to follow you back then!"
I am a Dream Lifeform; I cannot cause any impact on the Mortal Realm.. It was you who chose me, which is why I appeared in your dream, connected with you, brought you into my world to become a Resident of the Dream Realm. Why are you now turning around and blaming me for tempting you?
Lilith looked at Cain with interest, his fingers rotating elegantly as the White Silk Scarf wrapped around Cain's neck slipped away naturally, revealing—
(Ah—!)
Wood let out a silent gasp.
Cain's neck actually—
Darling, you have already seen Cain's true colors, do you still dare to believe him?
Lilith spoke leisurely, his voice soft and sickly sweet, carrying a soul-seducing tenderness.
He has long been a member of Dream Kingdom; like me, he lacks human emotions and ***. Everything he says to you is nothing but.. lies! He wants your flesh and blood, your fragrant, sweet viscera.
—Shut up! Lilith!
Cain shouted.
[Because I pierced through your schemes?]
In a daze, Lilith had already drifted to Wood's side, his fair and soft fingers clutching a crystal glass filled with a bright red liquid.
My dear darling, drink this divine nectar I have prepared for you, then you can become the supreme ruler of Dream Kingdom together with me, enjoying the most ultimate pleasure and the purest happiness in this world~
Why are you handing this Glass Cup of wine to me?
Because I have chosen you.
Why did you choose me?
[Because—]
Lilith swirled the liquid, causing the crystal wine glass filled with bright red liquid to sway, shimmering with an intoxication of extreme luxury and decadence.
[—I am tired of Cain. I want to choose a brand-new King for my Dream Kingdom, you, with your pure, untainted Soul—you happen to perfectly suit my aesthetic.]
Why are you so certain that I possess a pure, untainted Soul?
Wood retorted to Lilith, "Is it because you knew who I was in the past? Or is it because you think my amnesiac self is a canvas that can be painted upon at will?"
Neither of those is why I chose you.
Lilith looked at Wood leisurely: "I chose you because he chose you; anything he chooses is bound to be the best of things."
Him? Boss?
Wood's hair stood on end: "You are the Boss's enemy!"
This is the Dream Realm, my domain of dominion.
Lilith's body leaned toward Wood—as a collection of ***, his physique exuded an astonishing sensuality and *** aura even without doing anything, his black serpentine tail, which emphasized his non-human, monstrous identity, unconsciously dismantled human morality, making one willing to fall into the lewd, materialistic dreams woven by Night Demon.
[Accept me, then—find the most absolute pleasure in my world.]
—No!
Wood shouted, thrusting the Holy Sword decisively once again.
I hate monsters like you who can't understand human speech! I would never—
You think you can defeat me just because you have Arthur's Holy Sword!
Lilith opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs.
I am going to succeed, you—ah! Aaaah!
His sneer turned into a scream halfway through. Lilith lowered his head, staring at his abdomen in disbelief: the place pierced by the Holy Sword was rapidly rotting and turning black, the flesh erupting in flames and forming a massive black hole.
How can this be.. how is it possible.. You.. you.. what on earth are you..
I am sorry, I don't know what I am exactly, but I do know—I am not the companion you are looking for, I have no desire to become the person you threaten.
Wood pretended to be calm and announced arrogantly, but in his heart—
(My God! I just did something incredible that would be absolutely Impossible in the Mortal Realm! Is this the power of the Dream world! Because the Master of the Dream believes such power exists in this world, I..)
(Awesome! This is absolutely awesome! But I cannot show any pride, I certainly cannot let his discover my true thoughts! I must take advantage of the time before He regains his senses to intimidate Him, then get out of this hellhole!)
(Anyway—)
[.. You really are That thing I have been searching for!]
Lilith, slowly recovering from the intense pain, screamed at the top of his lungs.
Wood's focus, however, was on—
Us? So Cain, you..
I—
From the moment he drank my Holy Blood, he became a part of my Dream Kingdom, he has no right to regret! Nor any possibility of turning back!
Lilith raised his arm, which was adorned with gold ornaments, announced arrogantly—
Cain, my most loyal and lovely lover, catch him for me immediately! Catch that guy who has repeatedly betrayed us and fled from us!

Chapter 55 Lilith's Seduction (8)
—I refuse!
Cain said without a second thought.
Lilith turned his head and looked at Cain with fury.
[Why? Or rather—on what authority?!]
“Because—”
Because you have intruded into my Dream.
A familiar voice rang out, followed immediately by a golden Sun rising in the midnight sky—a figure who absolutely should not be appearing at this time or place descended from above, trailing long wings of light behind him.
“—Long time no see, Lilith.”
You—*****! Weren't you supposed to go to the New York Port tonight to receive the Container carrying the Fallen Wings and attend the secret Auction held on the High Seas! Why are you—
Exactly. Why couldn't my physical body attend the auction on a Cruise Ship in the High Seas, while a part of my spirit remained within the Museum to create a perfect Dream, trapping you within the cage I so meticulously crafted?
Master turned his head, looking at Wood with a smile. "Because you know less than one percent of me, you know even less than one-thousandth of him."
[Him? Could it be—]
Lilith's expression changed drastically, his gaze toward Wood was filled with hatred and terror.
[So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Traitor! Betrayer! You—]
Even back when we first met, he never agreed to become your companion—it was you who took advantage of his memory loss, deliberately lying that he was your companion, deceiving him and playing with him, just to keep him by your side.
Do you think I brought this upon myself?
Without a doubt.
Master's smile was elegant.
Lilith's lips curled slightly upward, revealing fangs that glinted with a cold light.
My dear, what is your choice? Will you continue to believe his lies, or will you accept my invitation, leave this false Mortal Realm with me, venture into the Dream Beyond?
“—To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.”
Wood said bluntly, "I can only vaguely determine through your words that you knew my former self, or rather, that you knew someone who looked almost exactly like me but possessed abilities a thousand times greater than mine."
[—You!]
Lilith looked extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Cain laughed loudly: "Lilith, five thousand years ago, you lost to him, five thousand years later, you have been defeated once again!"
I was not defeated! He simply did not remember our past!
Lilith, unwilling to accept defeat, maintained an exceptionally aggressive attitude.
[Once he remembers our past, he will definitely come back to stay by my side!]
Perhaps.
Cain gave a sarcastic snort.
Lilith turned his head, glaring at Cain with fury.
Don't think that just because you were once my lover, I won't kill you! For daring to ruin my plan, I will absolutely—
