Leo Ray and his companions found their attempts to wake Anna futile. They were confronted by the unstable Dark Elf Anna, who sought to keep them trapped in her dream realm. Leo Ray's reasoning and attempts to appeal to Dark Elf Anna's hidden desires led to Bright Elf Anna briefly regaining control, revealing the Black Fog as a potential weakness. However, Dark Elf Anna reasserted control, binding Leo Ray and his group, only for Leo Ray to break free and target the Black Fog itself, with his companions holding off Dark Elf Anna.

A fearsome sword aura, akin to a colossal scimitar, cleaved through the oppressive darkness of the Forbidden Land, its brilliance tearing into the pervasive black mist clinging to the roof.

As the sword light neared the shadowy miasma, the surrounding gusts of wind visibly dispersed a significant portion of the fog, unveiling a colossal, flower-shaped dark entity that loomed before everyone's sight.

"So that's the true heart of the dream! Just as I expected from your esteemed self!"

The Stone Spirit, whose eyes were like scattered stars, gleamed with newfound excitement as it blurted out this exclamation.

Meanwhile, the Dark Elf Anna was overcome with dread, her cries a desperate attempt to halt the sword's trajectory. Yet, Sheila and her companions stood firm in her path, their expressions unwavering.

In the very next moment, the sword light, with an unstoppable force, bisected the immense black blossom. It swiftly dissolved back into dispersed energy fragments, rapidly vanishing into the atmosphere.

The instant the colossal black flower disintegrated, a radiant white luminescence erupted.

Wherever this brilliant effulgence extended, the shrieking Dark Elf Anna, the myriad magical chains, and the suffocating black fog all ceased to exist, leaving an absolute stillness in their wake.

Within the confines of the Forbidden Land, only the panting assembly and Anna, now lying upon the stone slab, remained.

"It's finally over! We've successfully returned to reality!"

After a brief period of sensory exploration, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit turned towards Leo Ray, exclaiming with elation, "All thanks to your esteemed presence!"

Following the Stone Spirit's declaration, Sheila also offered a nod, her exhilaration mirroring its own.

"It was nothing significant."

Leo Ray sheathed his blade and commenced a renewed scan of their surroundings.

Precisely as the unfamiliar Stone Spirit had previously mentioned, the environment here had undergone little alteration. The Dark Elf's expressions of relief, the pristine white stone bed, and the slumbering Anna in her gray robes remained unchanged.

From any perspective, this location did not align with the aesthetic of the Light Elves.

"It appears then, this Barrier Area—or perhaps this ancient Light relic we had always surmised it to be—harbors a hidden narrative."

Leo Ray gave a slight nod, his gaze once again settling upon the gray-robed Anna.

And concerning all these unfolding events, only the slumbering proprietor of the dream, lying before them, held the full account.

Just as this thought crossed Leo Ray's mind, he observed Anna's lengthy eyelashes flutter subtly, as though she were stirring from a profound slumber.

"The Mad Elf is awakening! Everyone prepare yourselves; who can tell if she'll possess a foul temper upon waking!"

The unfamiliar Stone Spirit gripped its battle axe firmly, maintaining a ready and poised stance.

Sheila and the others also refrained from any carelessness, lowering their stances. Melody Lyon's brow furrowed, anticipating a conflict at any given moment.

While the Stone Spirits maintained their heightened vigilance, Anna slowly opened her starry eyes, her gaze appearing somewhat drowsy.

However, the instant her slightly unfocused gaze alighted upon Leo Ray, her face erupted in a blush, and she swiftly closed her eyes once more.

As the true owner of the dream, she possessed complete awareness of every occurrence within the Dream Space; to be more precise, all events had originated from her.

Particularly recalling the Dark Elf Anna's fervent efforts to detain Leo Ray within the Dream Space, even intending to fabricate a narrative, her heart hammered intensely, wishing for an immediate escape into the earth.

After a short interval, under the watchful and cautious scrutiny of the Stone Spirits, Anna inhaled deeply, simultaneously dispelling the magical barrier and rising from the stone bed.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, we... we meet again."

Anna directed a timid glance at Leo Ray, her voice barely audible.

Observing this interaction, the still-wary Stone Spirits exchanged significant looks.

Could this truly be the same Mad Elf from before? She appeared to be an entirely different individual.

Yet, upon further reflection, the Bright Elf Anna was also known for her quiet demeanor, but the Anna currently before them seemed even more demure.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, please be cautious! This could be a stratagem by the Mad Elf, deliberately attempting to lower our defenses!"

The unfamiliar Stone Spirit remained suspicious of the prior Dark Elf Anna's actions, proceeding with extreme prudence.

"Your Excellency is overly concerned. I am not that sort of person!"

Anna gestured dismissively towards the unfamiliar Stone Spirit before turning her attention back to Leo Ray, explaining with a hint of awkwardness, "Your Majesty of the Humans, after all, I was not entirely clear-headed while asleep. Please forgive any past rudeness!"

"There is no need. We were the ones who intruded upon this place; it is we who disturbed Your Excellency."

Leo Ray offered a faint smile before inquiring, "Where might those who accompanied me be?"

"Please be assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, they are quite safe."

Noticing Leo Ray bore her no blame, Anna visibly relaxed and hastily rose from the bed, intending to lead the way. She nearly stumbled, but Leo Ray caught her just in time.

She had been dormant here for an extended period. Despite the preservation of all surroundings under the numerous protective barriers within this Forbidden Land, she required a brief adjustment period.

"My apologies, Your Majesty of the Humans."

Anna's face flushed once more with embarrassment as she inclined her head towards Leo Ray, stating, "Kindly follow me."Before long, guided by Anna, the group emerged from the confines of the Forbidden Land. The world outside was bathed in bright sunlight. However, the Elf Village that had been there previously was nowhere to be seen, leaving only the solitary, pure white expanse of the Forbidden Land.
