Once the dream ended, we found ourselves within a pitch-black domain, with nothing but black clouds… Was this so residual nightmare energy?
"W-What was that?!" Benladann cried.
"It is pretty obvious, but I think we just saw a part of the past of Pandemonium…" Miranda sighed, crossing her arms. "To think he used to be such a normal guy…"
"I wouldn't call soone that fantasized on destroying humanity as normal." I said. "But… I knew it, he was also a Reincarnated Soul, but one… much more ancient! He was sohow summoned by the Gods."
"I-I never thought there would be the day I would see what the Ancient Gods looked like…" Erald was speechless. "That was Odin…! The God that waged war against our Dragon Family and the Titans…"
"I imagined the King of the Aesir would be an asshole, but this is too much…" Benladann said. "He summoned that man only to enslave him and turn him into a weapon! So horrible…"
"I guess that's- Huh?!"
FLAAASH!
And as the Dream was about to end, and we were still processing what we saw, the darkness that had taken Pandemonium suddenly erged before us.
TRUUUUMMM…!
Amidst the darkness, a gigantic crimson eye glared at us, piercing right through our souls. It felt as if we were infinitely smaller than it, and it held an incredible pressure like nothing else.
"YOU DARE… TO LOOK AT MY OWN MORIES?!"
The eye's size kept increasing as its very presence exuded Demonic Flas, trying to burn our souls! This must have been a dream from the body part Jonathan used to create this plant monster.
However, that also ans that within the monster, sohow Pandemonium exists?!
"My bad, it wasn't our intention to peek at your mories." I responded with unwavering resolve. "I know that it's important to respect other people's privacy… However."
My Soul erupted with power, growing hundreds of tis larger, until I managed to acquire the sa size as the crimson demonic eye.
"It doesn't an we're going to let you toy with our Souls!"
My fists reached the crimson eye with all my strength. My Divinities swiftly converged together, exploding into a sea of rainbow divinity.
BAAAAMMMM!!!
"UURGH?! Y-YOU…?!"
Pandemonium's Will wavered as his manifestation gained countless cracks, beginning to quickly crumble apart into pieces.
"We're going to end this now."
Crack, crack…!
CRAAASH!
The Nightmare we were trapped within quickly shattered into pieces, as we were finally brought back to reality, where what ended greeting us was nobody else than the monster that we have been chasing.
At the end of the abandoned and ruinous-looking hall, there it was, a gigantic mass of vines, tallic wires, and fangs, and eyes, bigger than all other test subjects…
And hanging from the ceiling were several bodies, of still living people, who were wrapped on many vines, covered on purple flowers.
The flowers were slowly draining away their life force and… soul?!
This bastard is even going to eat their souls!
"Test Subject-04! Stop fucking around and confront us!"
"GRRRHHHH…! RAAAHHHH!!!"
With an agonizingly furious roar, the titanic creature quickly glared at us. I could tell how frustrated the bastard must have been, it has been trying to stop us all this ti, but it all failed, even his last attempt at using Pandemonium's Will and entrap us within a Nightmare.
"T-This is the creature from before!" Tyrannus felt the pressure of the abomination. "Is it my idea, or has it grown several tis over?! And the people… They're in the ceiling!"
"The thing we fought was most likely not the entire body, but a piece of it that moved to the surface!" Erald analyzed the creature's gigantic shape. "You bastard… We'll end you once and for all! For all the shit you've done!"
"I guess it's ti to end this already… Too many dreams have made sleepy. I want to take a nap after we're done." Miranda said, her Aura quickly transford into a mass of black Miasmic Mold, overflowing with her own Unique Spiritual Demonic Energy.
"Benladra, Kate! Make sure to stay behind us, don't approach that thing recklessly… It is much more dangerous than it looks like!" Benladann said, stepping forwards and staying by my side.
"Okay!" Benladra nodded, tightly gripping her spear.

As everyone gathered their resolve, Drake confronted Test Subject-04, which remained in silence, glancing at everyone. They couldn't even understand what might be happening in that thing's head.
"Hey, are you going to stand there doing absolutely nothing?" Drake said, his aura constantly grew stronger and stronger.
Everyone in the room were left speechless as they sensed Drake's Aura beginning to evolve. The Demonic Energy he had managed to control was repurposed, fused into his own Divinities to create sothing utterly incredible!
FLUOOOOSH!
His Divine Aura rged with Demonic Energy and then Draconic Energy, an Aura of Gold and Crimson Red Energy surged from his body, as he quickly shapeshifted into mix between his Ice Dragon King form and his Vampire Dragon King form.
"SHAAAAHHH!!!"
Test Subject-04 didn't even hesitate anymore, sensing the enormously strong and threatening Aura coming from Drake, it swiftly leaped to attack!
Its entire body, of over two hundred ters, divided itself into thousands of tendrils spreading everywhere all at once. Sharp vines and tallic wires extended everywhere!
"Your little tricks will not work this ti! Fight head-on, bastard!"
Drake spread out his dragon wings and then moved them at lightning speed, his Demonic Divine Draconic Aura erupted with enough force to allow him to fly towards the aberration in a split of a second.
FLAAASH!
"RAAAAGH?!"
Test Subject-04 was taken aback, even when it possessed hundreds of eyes, it was unable to see Drake's movents in that ti!
This Dungeon had not only challenged him and revealed him great secrets of the world, but it he had also evolved and improved his abilities.
Not only was his Soul growing stronger by passing through many Dream Trials, but his unwavering resolve allowed him to control the power he had been neglecting this entire ti!
"Catch these hands."
Drake's six arms moved at lightning speed, producing golden and crimson sparks as they reached Test Subject-04 vines and tallic wires, cutting them all down to the very last one of them!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
SLAAASSHH!!!
