Gabriel's consciousness had fallen asleep for its own protection from all the pain that it was going through to protect its sanity. However, even when his consciousness was sleeping, it wasn't idle.

While his soul was being controlled subconsciously, real Gabriel found himself in a different place, as if he was in one of the dreams again, which was the safe place for his consciousness at a time like this.

As soon as he woke up in the new surroundings, he immediately looked at his left hand. Fortunately, his left hand wasn't missing. However, he also noticed that his Mark of Light was missing, which only happened when he was in one of those odd dreams.

"Again, a dream? What about the battle with Lira? If I'm dreaming, then I can't be dead yet. But she won't let me leave either."

"It seems I've lost consciousness because of the pain..." He was quite disappointed in himself for not being able to hear the pain. If he couldn't even see his body, how was he going to know what Lira was doing with it?

Fortunately, there was also a plus side to it that he could think of.

"If I'm unconscious in the Dark Prison, Lira should know that hurting me is useless. She wants me to feel the pain, so she would want me to wake up before she continues," he muttered as he started observing his surroundings.

Gabriel didn't know where he actually was in his dream, as this place was also completely unknown to him. All he could see was that he was in an empty room.

The room wasn't too big. It was only four meters wide and five meters long. The room had nothing inside it. He could also see dust everywhere as if the room hadn't been cleaned in a really long time.

The room also had a wooden door, which had a crack spread across it. There was also a window, which was letting some light come inside the room.

With each step that Gabriel took toward the window, he heard some creaking sound from the wooden floor.

Ignoring the creaking sound of the old floor, he stopped right before the window and looked outside.

"This place..."

*****

"Dark Oasis!"

Lira finished her spell which was one of her most powerful spells that could be used for attacking.

All the Dark Aura in the entire Realm of Darkness rushed to Gabriel. Her attack was powerful in the real world, but it was even more powerful here with all the excess elemental strength available for her to utilize here. She had the home advantage!

On the other hand, Gabriel was fighting in someone else's domain, and he seemed already engaged in a spell. He could either stop casting his spell and take care of the attack, or he could just continue what he was doing and let himself be attacked.

He decided to take the third option. He made a small gesture which made all his Dark Knights return. All the Dark Knights surrounded him with their Dark Shields as Gabriel continued chatting.

Boom~

Even though the Dark Knights were also made from the Darkness of this Realm, even they couldn't stand the assault of the Dark Oasis which attacked them. As soon as they came in contact with the Dark Oasis, their bodies were destroyed and submerged in the Darkness. Their obstruction didn't weaken the Dark Oasis. Instead, it only made it stronger.

The Dark Oasis finally hit Gabriel. All the darkness started rushing inside Gabriel's soul.

Dark Oasis was a spell that was as scary as it was powerful, as it was quite hard to avoid this spell. Dark Oasis was a spell that specifically targeted a soul, even in the real world. That's also what made it so dangerous.

In Dark Oasis, all the poisonous darkness entered a person's soul, destroying it from inside after overwhelming their souls. Since a mage couldn't accommodate another Element in their soul without having that Element at the start, this made their soul even more chaotic, ultimately destroying the soul.

This was an attack that avoided all physical defenses of a person and attacked their weakest spot.

The Darkness kept infiltrating Gabriel's Soul. Even though Gabriel's subconscious was controlling the soul, still the pain could be seen on his face.

All this darkness was overwhelming him, but he stood tall. Gabriel's fists clenched tightly as he didn't give in to the darkness. Surprisingly, he still hadn't given up chanting his Spell.

Seeing all her Darkness entering Gabriel's body, Lira could relax. There was no way his soul was going to survive now.

"You are already dead now... Enjoy your last few moments..."

Lira was sure that she was victorious in this battle. Even if Gabriel could survive with all the darkness in his soul for a few minutes, that was the extent to it before his soul was going to blow up.

Unfortunately, those few minutes were enough for him to call his spell as well.

Gabriel actually finished his spell, despite all the darkness wreaking havoc inside his soul.

As soon as Lira saw Gabriel finish his spell, she actually disappeared. Even she didn't dare to stay behind to see just what this spell was, even though it was her own realm.

She ran from her own Domain, returning to the real world. She was sure that Gabriel was already dead. It was only a matter of time, so there was no benefit in her staying behind and waiting for her death!

****

Lira's eyes opened in the real world. Unlike the Prison World, where she felt like she was perfectly fine, she felt dead in the real world. Her nose was bleeding, and her body was in so much pain that even moving a finger was painful for her.

The Grimoire of Darkness also seemed very stable, but it was only about to get worse...

Finding Gabriel's powerful spell, the Prison of Darkness was destroyed thoroughly, being ripped from shred to shred. If Lira had been there, her soul would've been destroyed as well. Unfortunately, she wasn't safe even though she was in the real world either.
