"I don't have any problem with you leaving. In fact, this may be a good opportunity. There are definitely class 3's over there, and they're just walking bundles of experience for you. Who knows, they may be able to push you up to class 4.""If they're already at the level to where I can level up, this may be worse than we think. But I agree."Riddick nodded and became less opposed to leaving after hearing Dream."Well, I can't go with you, but I can help with any preparations you need. Whether it's enchantments, transportation, or whatever else. So if you need anything, let me know.""I could actually use your help with some things, so I'll take you up on that offer. Just wait for my call.""Sure. Anything else?""Other than that intelligence, no.""Right. Actually, hang on."Dream took out some metal from his inventory and began forging it. He made another tablet and enchanted it."You can use this as a printer. It'll print whatever is on the screen onto a piece of paper using mana.
In front of Dream was a giant sphere of Mithril.After assisting Sophia in putting this together, he was getting ready to carry out another experiment.Sophia had come up with a way to utilize those mana explosions and distribute the flux to other materials. The result was this ball of metal about 5 meters in diameter. Its outer layer was made of grade 4 Mithril, and the core was made from grade 3 Mithril.[What we need to do is explode the core, which will release the flux to the outer layer. Though the process of explosion will result in a violent expansion of the core, so I've thrown in a thin vacuum layer between the layers in hopes that nothing extreme will happen.]"Fun. Then let's get started."Dream didn't ask any questions and began filling the core with his mana. It took a decent amount, but not much before he began feeling its instability. And soon, it exploded.*Thud*<
After a bit of calming down, Dream had gotten them back on track.They spent their lunch in the dorm and the entire time, the girls were trying to get out of him what he was doing that made him so weak and exhausted. Though he wasn't about to tell them that he was transfusing flux energy to increase the strength of Mithril, so he just told them he was doing his own workout to train his skills.They could only accept his answer and move on with things. The girls ate food while Dream relaxed and soon they moved on to 4th period.Dream and Mara went off to healing, but Dream couldn't participate at all since he was still hurt. He articulated this to Merlin who had no problem and let him just recover.Dream followed them around and watched Mara help everybody. Though she constantly glanced at him, like she was making sure that he wasn't going anywhere. He felt a bit helpless seeing that.[She's got bad abandonment issues. You disappearing seemed to hit her pretty hard.]'Yea. It'll take a
Since the tools he was going to make needed to handle lots of mana, Sophia decided that Mithril was the best choice.Grade 6 Mithril could handle Dream's entire mana pool before exploding, so they used that to develop tools with power comparable to his.Whenever they enchanted an item it would almost never be able to surpass the amount of power that Dream could produce, depending on the maximum mana pool it had. So even after using grade 6 Mithril, the device they made to help condense and infuse mana only had around 60% of his own infusion power.But who said they could only use one? Dream and Sophia definitely weren't only going to use a single tool. In fact, these tools were designed to be used in clusters, and they built 30.The next problem was mana supply. They could have all the infusion power they wanted, but the lack of mana would render them useless. So their next step was to develop cores.Like they did with the core to the facility, Sophia used grade 6 Mithril and created
Three days passed tediously, and Dream was now in the factory.As he stood inside the container for his armor, he stared at the cloud of silver cells in front of him. Although he knew that these cells weren't fragile in any way, he didn't dare touch the cloud for fear of affecting this 'delicate' project.[You can touch it.]"You sure?"[Yes.]Sensing his desire to touch the metal cloud, Sophia stepped in. Hearing this, he threw away all reservations and slowly stuck his hand into the dense silver fog.His hand was enveloped by a metallic and dry feeling. It was like he stuck his hand into a liquid metal glove, not that he really knew what that felt like. The fog was dense and viscous, not easily allowing his hand to pass through. Though with his strength, it was no issue."It's...Interesting. So now's time for the enchantment?"[It is. Three days. Though with how intricate this piece is, things may happen and it could take longer. But no more than 5 days.]"Oh well. I gave myself 4.
After about a day, Dream and Sophia had finally finished establishing the first few million cells in the suit."*sigh* That was difficult."Dream couldn't help but pull up a chair and slouch. In front of him was that same view of the constellation, and it had expanded greatly. He had been active for all 20 hours of this process, and the fatigue had built up. He was tired.[We aren't done yet. We still gotta drive this virus. I'll be booting the infection soon.]"Alright."Moments after, Dream could see all the connections turn golden. Sophia began to activate her programs and build the infection. And about 20 minutes later, the first infected cell was connected to the cluster.[Success! Launching infection...]Soon after, the cluster began to expand rapidly. The edges of the constellation began to reach out, bringing in the cells next to them. Not only that, but patches of cells were sent out over to different areas of the cloud to begin an infection elsewhere. Their efficiency was un
"There you are."As Dream looked down on the city, he could see where Luna and Iris were. And when he traced the mana connection and strengthened it, Luna was alerted to his presence as well.'Dream?! Is that you?!'He smiled when he heard that beautiful voice come over the connection.'Yes, it's me. How are you two?''It's really you! Dream we're...actually not doing that bad. We got here not long ago. Hey! We met our mother! She's real!''Of course she's real. It takes two to tango after all.''R-right. Speaking of, how's...''Your dad is alive. He recovered fully after I saved his ass.''...Thank you.''Don't mention it. My only regret is not getting there in time to get you two back as well.'Dream could feel a wave of emotion from Luna. Their dad's status has probably been the biggest thing on their minds this whole time. To be kept in the dark about something like that must've been soul-tearing.'Anyway, I haven't been able to get in contact with Iris. Something happen?''Yes. T
The next day, Mara and Arrina went on with their schedule.Dream on the other hand was focusing on his next project. Or, projects.[Other than getting a pet, we'll do some tests with flux and see if we can build new weapons. We should also build some combat robots and see if we can use those.]"Alright. Let's test this flux bullet concept first."Dream brought over some mithril and steel and put them on the table in front of him. He was currently in the storage area of the factory. Bots were constantly flying around enhancing the stacks of materials and explosions could be constantly heard.Sophia's design for the gun wasn't actually a gun. She planned for this weapon to be integrated with Aegis. Though they first needed to test whether this would work.Sophia had run several simulations in the past so she already knew how she would design this weapon. She took clumps of silver and encased them in steel like a cartridge. She then took this cartridge and put a steel bullet in it.[Alri
