Over the next few hours, Dream and Riddick continued to fight their pairs of grand demons.And although Dream's battle prowess didn't come as a surprise to himself, it came as a shock to Riddick. The entire time, he was paying half attention to Dream, ready to jump in should he be put in danger. But not only did that never happen, it seemed like he was rather relaxed.Dream responded fluidly to every attack that was thrown at him. He was just as quick as the demons fighting him, and considering there were two who were throwing out over a dozen coordinated attacks every second, that was impressive. It was hard to believe that he was still a class 3.The demons however, were scared witless. Although Dream hadn't done anything to reveal an insane level of power, they hadn't been able to do anything to him. If that were it, it wouldn't be too bad, but when one of the demons had tried to escape, Dream unleashed unprecedented speed and locked the demon down
Dream continued fighting for a few hours as he thought about what to do.Eventually, though, some people came to join him."Dream! We did it!"A voice came from afar as Dream was in the middle of crushing a demon's head. He turned and found Iris flying towards him, flames and all. Right behind her was the rest of the family too."I knew you would.""Yea but you weren't there for the grand finale. Guess how I killed the demon?""How?""I punched him. Straight through the chest. You should've seen it! My flames ate him from the inside out. His heart was especially delicious.""Mm, nothing sexier than a woman who eats hearts.""Huhu, I know. Kiss kiss.""Oof."Jumping at him, Iris tackled him to the floor and planted her lips on his. Dream obviously made sure to remove his helmet as they went down.The two made out for a bit as Iris covered them in a dome of fire. That was u
After Dream placed his hand on the deer's head, he inserted his mana which simultaneously locked the deer in place and invaded his soul. The deer could do nothing but let him do whatever he wanted.[Beginning Hierarchy subordination...]Sophia spoke, and the next moment, the deer's eyes went wide.[Infiltrating soul... Applying conversion... Branding Hierarchy... Problem.]'What?'[Hierarchy needs someone to be attached to, like a soul connection. The problem is that I haven't directly written the Hierarchy skill to your soul, so there's nothing to subordinate someone to.]'Is there something preventing you from writing the skill to my soul?'[It could cause changes to your future development. Hierarchy isn't something to take lightly considering it's something innate to the demons. Although I've tailored the
Dream overlooked the construction for a bit before joining in himself.With Dream in the mix, while it would still take quite a while, the project wouldn't take as long. There were many parts that required precision the bots couldn't handle. At the same time, Dream's construction ability was many times greater than a measly bot.Like this, construction was immediately kicked off and quickly charged through the first stages. Despite the speed though, just the outline took 3 whole days.The reason for this was the sheer size of the platform.As with any railgun, longer rails allowed for more time to accelerate a projectile. And because Dream's design for the platform consisted of 2 pairs of rails stacked on each other, all of which were nearly 8 kilometers long, it required many materials and a structural system that could handle such large scale operation.Rails as long as a small city's width obviously implied a projectile that was s
Dream watched everything that happened from the live feed, and he was most pleased."Very good. These soda cans are rather capable. But we're not done yet. Launch the fusion bomb."[Understood.]With the order, the railgun alternated its hatches and inserted a bomb about the same size as the soda can. Once it was locked in, the railgun only had to charge a little bit before sending the payload. These bombs weren't kinetic based, so they didn't need atrocious speeds.The reason why Dream decided to launch a bomb on top of the kinetic round was that many of the demons were still alive. Only the weaker demons class 2 and under were killed, and class 3's and up were able to survive it.So he sent in another bomb to wipe the floor.[Launching.]*Dsh*The railgun launched the bomb, hardly creating any light or arcs of electricity. It seemed very ordinary and unimpressive compared to the kinetic round.Bu
After bringing up a few dozen animals around the class 3 level, Iris quickly got used to finding and eating souls.But just a measly few dozen wouldn't be enough for her. She wanted not only more souls, but stronger souls. In fact, she told Dream that she wanted to try and get a class 4 soul.So after finishing up all the animals Dream brought for her, Luna and Iris left the station and flew down to where their parents were. They were close to leveling up, and with Iris's bottleneck broken through, they wanted to quickly get to their class advancement.Although Dream thought it would be nice to go with them, he actually had some things to do in the station, so he stayed.One of these things was checking out the two massive cores from the United Empire.After Dream had stolen the crystal heart, the entire United Empire was thrown into a bout of chaos. While the ordinary citizens didn't really care much about a drop in mana density, th
Meanwhile, as Dream was preparing his soldiers, Arrina and Mara were huddling together miserably in the corner of a prisoner cell.They weren't the only ones either. In just this cell there were over 200 people, and the demons had a dozen more cells just like this one. They herded them like sheep and didn't care at all about the fact that nearly everyone was wounded. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few healers in the cell, several people would've already died.Mara was one of these healers. In fact, she was one of the best. Because of that she was treated a little better. Not by the demons, but by the other prisoners. Instead of being cramped, she was given a bit more space against the wall where she could rest easier. And right next to her was Arrina.After receiving Dream's teachings, Arrina was able to rise in power quicker than she had ever expected to. She could cast spells with ease, learn sequences many times faster than her peers,
After Mara and Arrina were carried off by the bots, they were swiftly transported through the stronghold.Along the way, they could see the corpses of all the demons that had once guarded the pathways. There were hundreds, and almost all of them were class 3's. The girls were shocked, and they truly wondered how powerful these humanoids carrying them were.After many twists and turns they eventually ended up exiting the stronghold. They proceeded out into the wide open plaza, the entrance to which was a gate. And up in the air, they could see a shocking battle.The sky was blazing with dark bloody fire that blocked out the sun. The pressure coming from that fire was immense, though not as immense as the pressure coming from the people within that fire.They could see 10 people. 7 were demons, one was a fox, and the two others were human. The fox was the one bellowing fire, and one of the humans, a woman, was releasing ice lances from a distan
