I also think its all because she remembers her past lives, but only pieces of it, notice for example how he is caused by being a
"lich with power over dreams."
She probably forgot about the part where he explained his powers to her and thinks he is somehow influencing her mind.
Depending on how much and what parts she remembers it might change the perspective of him quite a lot.
Time/Dimension control is not the first thing you would assume is at play when you start having memories of events that have not happened yet after all.
This might also explain why the "Lui-lium" or whatever the magic liquid is called was gone from the temple.
She could have remembered its location and went to steal it before he came there.
That would explain why she has the power to but a bounty on his head and why the people are following the "mad ravings" of somebody who claims to have memories of the future or however she put it when trying to convince other people that she knows him...
Few people would trust somebody like that without proof after all.
Ofc his original assumption of it being gone because its inside of him works too... but I'm just brainstorming here.
Next chapter should explain a lot of what is going on...
