"Demons..."This was the first conclusion Dream came to as he saw the advancing hordes. After all, there was only one race that had an invasive nature like this. There could be nothing else in his mind that would act as they do.However, the sheer scale of this movement had him baffled. Just from what they were seeing now, on each continent, there were already 500 million, and they weren't even done pouring out. This meant there were easily a billion, and they were launching their attacks on two fronts at the same time.The destination of the waves of demons were clear too. From both sides of the human continent, demons poured from the ocean and immediately advanced towards the Sword School and Spire who were nearest to the coasts. As of now, there were 200 million going toward each Empire. As for the Animal continent, the demons were heading straight for the United Empire and Elven Tree that occupied the center of the continent.In only 20 minutes, the day had gone from a relaxed Sun
After they disappeared from the factory, the girls soon reappeared next to Dream who was making his way to the human continent."...Dream?""We'll go down and sweep some of the areas with the soldiers. After getting a good estimate of how dense the class 4's are, we can gauge their overall strength and determine if we can safely fight them like this. If things are within the realm of acceptability, then you two can go around all you like and fight them.""...Alright.""Things should be good though. Although I'm already getting batches of my soldiers destroyed, it's showing that the class 4's aren't that dense. Dense enough to wipe out my soldiers on a wide scale, but not enough to worry about gangs of 100 coming after you. So let's check out some land and see if that's right."Saying that, Dream flew them to the outer lands of the continent where the demons were advancing. After arriving above the armies that spanned as far as the eye could see, he dropped down and released his mana a
After Dream left, the chieftain and his fellow class 4's went on to announce the situation to their citizens.When they did, it was met with shock and confusion. After all, things had been peaceful for a year, and all of a sudden their leaders come out and say that the world is going to end. Any normal person would be thrown off. But, since it was coming from the highest authority, they had no choice but to believe it to some extent. They also had to obey the orders that were handed down and make the stipulated preparations, of which included food rationnig and entering a wartime state.The entire Empire was quickly thrown into a small bout of chaos. But despite the sudden change, it never got too bad. That was until certain people started encroaching onto the city in droves. Well, they weren't exactly people. They were metallic humanoids, and there were tens of thousands of them.All these humanoids suddenly barged through the city entrance and piled in like a horde. And without expl
With all the construction moving forward at an unbelievable pace and kingdoms around the world being evacuated, two weeks pass.In this time, Dream had revamped most of the dwarven city and dug out the entire underground haven as well. The haven was a circle 150 miles in diameter. It was also about 800 meters tall.Within this space, countless buildings and hundreds of facilities were built from bottom to top, filling up all the space. Everything was organized in a very specific way, and everything that was needed to accommodate an entire population was present. Even if there was something that wasn't present, the space and materials were set aside so that it could be built.Not only that, but the haven was modeled with expansion and upgrades in mind. Dream knew that the haven had to be able to adapt to unexpected situations, whether it was supplies running out or demons somehow gaining access to the haven. And so, he had the place be set up like a boat. It would be able to close off
[The Tree will entirely encompass the Haven in 8 days. The demons will reach this place in two. That means we need to defend the Haven for 6 days until it's finished.]Sophia spoke to Dream after calculating the expansion of the Tree's roots and branches. And while it seemed like a short period of time, defending against all the demons for that long would be extremely difficult and could result in even more deaths."That won't do. We need it to move faster. Luckily we have something that'll help, although I didn't think we'd have to use it. Aegis.""My lord.""I'm gonna need your help for a bit.""As you wish.""Thanks. Now, let's set ourselves up."Saying that, Dream flew over to the Tree in the middle of the city. The entire thing glowed with thousands of blue lines, as did the entire city around it. It really brightened up the place.After flying up next to it, Dream placed his hand on the trunk. When he did, the trunk split and opened up, creating a human size hole that led all th
The battle between the girls and the old monsters didn't last for very long. They eventually called a draw, the reason being that Dream stepped in. Verbally.Time was of the essence, and while he appreciated the girls' lust for battle, they needed to direct it elsewhere. So after he talked to them and the old monsters, they decided to hold off for now and head out.The place they headed to was the vanguard troop of the demons that were heading toward the Haven. There they wrangled over nearly 80 class 4's and battled them all, killing them off one by one. This was to decrease the demon threat as much as possible before they reached the Haven.In fact, over time, this actually led to them delaying the arrival. Turns out, the old monsters really were as powerful as the legends made them out to be. They could handle all the class 4 demons with ease, and it accelerated the girls' killing speed by leaps and bounds. After only a day of fighting, they had killed nearly 400. This made it so t
As Dream was preparing to head up, the class 4's in the sky were continuing their battle.They had been steadily losing their advantage and building up fatigue, something that would be their demise if the situation didn't change. However, as Luna was about to talk to Dream about this, some information was sent to her mind from Sophia."Railguns..."*Zip!*Right as she spoke in surprise, Luna heard a projectile sail past her. The next moment, she could see a demon be blown to bits.That was only the first one though. After a few seconds, 14 more projectiles were launched seemingly from out of nowhere. All of them had a target, and all of them obliterated a demon.The other class 4's were baffled by this new development, but had no trouble going with it. Their load was already eased greatly with several demons being killed.For the next several minutes, the projectiles kept coming and demons kept dying. They took care of the excess demons, allowing people to safely focus on their own fe
As he fought to keep himself awake, Dream suddenly heard a voice. It was Luna, and both she and Iris teleported to his soul."I already knew you would stay. Besides, I need your help.""Hell yeah you do. Look at you. Your soul is so weak!"Iris snickered as she felt his soul's aura. It was barely there, a testament to how much power it took to clear out the demons like he did.Dream just shook his head at her. Currently he was on his hands and knees on the ground, breathing heavily out of instinct. Hundreds of demons surrounded them, and they didn't look happy. However, they weren't attacking. Dream knew why."Look at this human! You're definitely one of the strongest. Looks like we're coming out of this with a harvest!""Quickly set up the ritual! Don't let him kill himself, otherwise we won't get anything!"The class 4 demons all shouted at each other as they surrounded Dream. Soon, he could sense a certain power activating in their bodies. They were going to convert them."Oh no yo
