At the time that Dream, Luna, and Iris were discussing the avatar, he was actually nearly done with his upgrade. And because of this, the girls decided to stay there and wait for him to finish.And so, for the next 6 hours, the three watched some movies as Dream's calves, feet, neck, and face muscles were upgraded.When he was about to start restructuring his neck and face muscles, he had actually warned the girls about it. During that period, he wouldn't be able to talk or do anything as if he were paralyzed. Unfortunately, the girls saw this as an opportunity to play around.As he started they didn't do anything, but midway through, Iris began playing around with his cheeks. Since his muscles were basically mush, she could pull and squish all she wanted, and she started forming his face into weird shapes.Although he thought they would be cautious about it, they totally disregarded the notion of his upgrade being messed up. This confused him until he realized that Sophia had told th
After Dream's avatar flew into the air, Dream himself cut the connection to it.His attention was brought back to the scene in front of him. Well, he never actually had his attention off what he was doing, but since he was controlling the avatar, he had diverted some.Currently, Dream and the girls were back on the planet, the human continent to be specific. Before the meeting with the dwarves even started, they had come down and chosen a wide-open plain where they could train. Dream was very interested in testing out his muscles in a more combative sense, and Iris always enjoyed fighting, so she was more than happy to train with him.So from the time they were finished romping around in the factory to now, Dream had been sparring with Luna and Iris. Although controlling his avatar in the meeting required him to divert his focus, he was still able to fight. Usually, something like that would be impossible f
Dream smiled as Riddick got so worked up. He wasn't sure about how big the gap was between S- and S magic, but he was sure he could give the man a good run for his money in a fight. Knowing that, he was rather proud of himself."Although I have no idea what this core you speak of is-.""The core is something you make upon reaching class 4. It's made of solid mana, and you bind it to the mana pathways connected to your soul. It took every scrap of energy I had along with the assistance the system gives to form it. And only after I formed the core did my mana turn to liquid. I thought that it was a huge jump in power, but now you come along already wielding liquid mana. So? How?""Hmm... Good info. Anyway, I had actually come across solid mana. It was after doing some experiments with it that my soul was stressed. And because of that, I made a breakthrough and was able to form the liquid mana with just my soul. Luna and Iris were there actually."
After the door closed behind him, Dream was met with utter darkness.Though if darkness were all that was there, Dream wouldn't be worried. But instead, the first thing that he sensed was a skeleton next to the doorway."...Sophia there's a skeleton."Goosebumps broke out all over Dream's body as he backed up a step. Although he was as powerful as he was and was no stranger to death, spooky skeletons in a clearly abandoned corridor weren't exactly settling.[Yea forgot to tell you about that. There's more throughout the corridors, some blood too, and also ghosts.]"Ghosts?!"[Hehe, just kidding. There are energy signatures though. I think they're devices. In fact, there's one next to you.]"..."Whipping his head around, Dream laid eyes on the energy signature next to him. He could sense the worn down mana circuits that were attached to an orb sticking out of the wall. These circuits traveled from the orb a
Dream shivered excitedly as he felt the power of the tremors. He knew that whatever was shaking his soul, it was definitely the Source.'Although the source isn't in this room, it's close. Hehehe, only the source could release so much power.'[It's hard for me to tell exactly where it is, but I know that's it's definitely within 60 meters of the exit to this room.]When she said that, Dream turned around to the only set of doors to the room. After taking a deep breath, he crouched down and moved over to the door, nervously cracking it open.When it was cracked, he looked through. But when he did, he was baffled."...A wall?"Dream tilted his head as he pulled the door all the way open. On the other side was nothing but dirt and stone."It doesn't lead to anything."[Maybe the ground caved in and sealed off this room. We just need to dig some more.]Saying that, a hole was quickly made in the dirt ahead
Back as the tiger was going down the passage, Dream had quickly made up his mind."I'm taking the heart now. Sophia, lock him in."[Roger!]"And since I'm on a clock, we'll need to speed this up."Saying that, Dream became active. He went down into the tunnel with Aegis and quickly drilled through.*Thud!*When they were through, the section of the floor with the altar on it fell down into the tunnel. When it did, liquid mana began to flood through from in the room into their tunnel. Not only that, but Dream was blasted with intense pressure from the heart itself."Ugh, damn. This thing is insane! Cut the altar from the floor!""Of course, my lord."Aegis quickly got to work and separated the altar from the metal floor. When he cut the circuits and isolated the altar, Dream took the piece of floor and put it back where it was supposed to be.Like that, Dream fixed the floor, leaving no tra
"How's the new body?"Dream asked Aegis as he sat and observed. He could feel the connection between them that had strengthened by leaps and bounds. They could sense each other's thoughts, and because of that, Dream knew that Aegis had undergone drastic changes mentally. In fact, he still wasn't entirely done evolving.Aegis looked at Dream, then down at his hands. After a minute or so, he responded."I... I protect.""Who do you protect?""...You, my lord.""Mm. I'm glad. You're radiating intense power though, so I'm wondering if I'll have to give you a device for stealth."Dream took a deep breath as he felt Aegis's aura. Well, it was the heart's aura, but Aegis was now theoretically in control of the heart.The aura coming off him was powerful, to say the least. Dream felt pressure just sitting there. It was a pressure that came from sheer, absolute power. Dream felt suppressed, and although he could fig
After messing with Iris a bit Dream backed away and looked around him. There were tens of thousands of demons itching to sink their teeth into him, but by simply letting out his influence, he was able to hold them back."Anyway. I came here to let out some energy. I can't completely control this heart yet, and until I do, I'm not going in public.""It's nice that you're out here with us either way." (Luna)"Mm. Hey Scarlet!""What?!""Wanna compete? Let's see who can kill more, me or you sisters.""You're on! Hahh!"Smiling, Iris transformed into her fox form and flared up, bellowing out bloody fire. Luna also grinned as she summoned out dozens of bullet-sized ice lances.Seeing that, Dream's helmet reformed over his head. His awesome suit glowed red with power, and the heart kept on pouring energy into his body."Hehe... Raaahhhh!!"With a howl, Dream jumped into the air straight towards a huge crowd of demons. He then slammed down on the ground, releasing waves of force with his bod
