"Old Man. Gimme your densest mana."After quickly forming the enchantments in the suit, Dream then needed to integrated Riddick's mana directly. This would ensure that his spells would work as they were designed for his mana, not Dream's."Ok. Just be careful.""Whoah"After Riddick began streaming liquid mana and Dream grabbed a hold of it, he suddenly felt how different it was.Riddick's mana was not only extremely destructive, but incredibly hard to control. Dream had to really stress himself to even guide it over to the suit."What the hell happened to your mana?!""It was a part of my advancement. I'm honestly surprised you're able to control it at all.""Well the only reason I can is because of my own advancement."As Dream spoke and controlled the mana, he could see a few notifications stream down his vision.'Two levels. Nice.'[I'm analyzing this mana. It's not normal mana.]'Is it just because of a skill?'[No. In fact, I

When they walked into the cabin, Dream re-did a bunch of the enchantments around the place, just to touch it up.As he had preserved it before the girls were taken, everything was still the way it was. The girls ran around the place checking out their home sweet home. Riddick also brought Selene around, who was interested in the place they stayed in for 20 years."Actually, Old Man, what do you think about moving the house?""Moving? Where?""Well, you know that project I did at the Dome after you recovered? Well, the purpose of the project was to provide a hiding place for when I recovered you guys. And while the girls were taken before I could complete it, I still completed it.""What about those pesky clans that use it?""They can no longer get in. I changed the enchantments on the core to not allow anyone entry, regardless of species. That should have blocked them out, so that dome has just been flourishing on its own for a while. So what do you say we move into it? It'll be our o

As the two clashed, both very quickly realized certain things about the other.For Dream, it was that Iris' flames were no longer simple flames. And for Iris, it was that Dream was truly much different than he used to be, especially in regards to his body.Dream had known that Iris would travel down the path of a predator that ate and got stronger. It was the basis for her [Devour] skill. Her fire was more of a complementary skill. But although he knew this, he didn't know how exactly it would evolve. Something like that could only be known by the person themselves who were guiding its usage in a certain direction.But it immediately became clear that Iris had evolved in a way that was frankly confusing to Dream. When he came in contact with her fire, not only did it seek to burn him and his mana, but it also tried to steal his mana at the same time. It was a very frontal and thorough assault. It recovered her own mana and energy while destroying his, like a vampire that was sucking y

"Now that we got that out of the way, there's one more thing that they asked me to bring up.""What is it?"Derrin spoke before they decided to part ways."Since you're so adept at gathering intelligence, I was told to ask you if you had anything you could share with us.""I do actually. And I can tell you right now that it's not looking good.""Something happen?""Well, let's just say I was right about everything I said. That tablet, take a look."Derrin looked down at the table and picked up the tablet. Its display had changed from the list to a demographic showing the current numbers."...My god.""I know. This army that's coming is only a small portion of their population. Not only that, but many more are pouring into the continent as we speak. This tablet holds the data for their numbers and movements.""..."Derring looked through the data, stunned and a bit fearful. Not only was he looking at a number of monsters never before seen, but their power levels that had surpassed all

"See! I knew you would kill all of them! There's not even half left!"Contrary to the feelings of those around her, Iris was rather displeased.Not long after the class 4's went to battle, Dream had cut the previously 3 million strong army down to only 1.4 million. His bots and aircraft were just too capable against these demons. Especially the bots.While they had lost nearly 2,000, there were still 78,000 bots constantly finding their nearest enemy and hacking them to pieces. The only thing limiting their killing speed was the density of demon army, which had spread out considerably. Plus, as they got deeper in, the number of class 3's they needed to face was much greater, and these took longer to kill. Not to mention how there were only 1,000 bots at the class 3 level.But despite them doing so well, Dream still hadn't let Iris go out and fight. The reason was because of the possibility of there being more Grand Demons in that army. He wouldn't risk it.Though Iris understood, she
