The three dream beasts turned into shadows that instantly rocketed towards the bus as a large fla spewed outwards and engulfed them in flas.
Howard had been watching carefully the entire ti, and didn't hesitate. With his hand held outward, the entire world seed to turn countless shades of orange as Harley stepped down on the gas pedal The bus soon shot off into the distance as three forms chased after them. The three dream beasts seed to possess an endless amount of unnatural speed and power, every few seconds getting attacked by balls of flas when they neared the bus.
"I can't do anything, or we'll really be screwed," Barabin said, crossing his arms. "The Varlan will tell the Aresoul if they see . Howard, get out of the bus, and kill those things will you. Consider it part of your training."
"Seriously?" Reece said, slamming her hand into the dash board. "I-I paid him 100 dream chrysalis! What did he see that made him attack us!"
"It's probably the line on Howard's neck," Barabin yawned, closing his eyes and leaning against the window. "That line ans he has a Dream Myth inside of him. It will be good for his training to have to deal with one. It's just a sha that Varlan noticed. I was hoping to ask it a few questions."
"You knew?" Howard walked to the exit of the bus with a fla beginning to spiral around his body. "I-I'm sorry. It told sothing about Monica. I couldn't not listen to it."
"Well, it probably lied. Anyways, Harley, stop the iron horse. Let Howard get out and take care of our little pursuers. If you take longer than three minutes to incapacitate them, we'll leave you behind."
"You sure? and Reece can handle it," Harley fixed the mirror to look at Barabin as the bus hopped into the air, bouncing along the road as it landed. The bus had already reached speeds of 150 kiloters per hour and the Dream Beasts still had to get pushed back by bursts of flas from Howard. "I-I don't think this is a good idea."
"I'll be fine," Howard said with a smile. "I owe you guys for disobeying you. I'll be back in a second."
"Alright, I'll be the nurse if anything bad happens," Harley spun the wheel, sending the bus's rear curving in the wind before it spun 360 degrees to a stop. Opening the door of the bus, Howard smiled and slowly hopped off the bus, turning towards the three black shadows surging towards him.
'You got this. Use all your skills and you can even beat things above your level,' Barabin kept one eye open and looked out the bus. 'You're still a long way away from being a true demon king, but I believe in you brat.'
'I could've warned you about the Dream Myth, but she'll be great for strengthening your mind. You can consider yourself lucky. If you can befriend her, you might even be able to tap into her power.'
Barabin stood up and walked towards the door, tapping Reece on the back as she nervously crossed her arms.
Three shadows started to twist in space around Howard, moving so fast that she could only make out blurs as they circled around the small boy swirling with flas. Holding out his hand, Howard caused three dozen spears of fire to twist into existence. At the sa ti, his body began to suffuse a white light, his horns slightly growing out of his head as one ripped through the space between them.
Turning his hand in the air, Howard gently pushed back the claw of a dream beast before a surreal explosion spread out and sent the dream beast bursting into the distance.
Boom!
A large cloud of dust shot into the air as the two other dream beasts ca at him from his left and right side.
However, once again, with a surreal and unnatural movent, Howard seed to easily push them away and sent them dribbling against the rocks in the distance. Feeling a strange power growing inside of him, Howard couldn't help but look at his hands in disbelief.
"What is this feeling? Why do I feel like nothing can hurt ?" Howard noticed a few markings on his arm, gradually shimring in and out of existence. "Is-is this the power of Dream Beasts?"
"I-I feel like I can move faster now," Howard stepped off his back foot and instantly shattered the 100 ters between him and an incoming Dream Beast. Turning his hand to the side, he instantly connected with the side of its cheek.
Boom!
The other two dream beasts, seeing Howard's strange movent gradually opened their eyes before a burst of white light shot forward. Slithering through the air like snakes, the white beams instantly appeared in front of his body, heading right towards his chest.
Howard, seeing this, simply stepped down on his back foot and appeared in front of the two remaining dream beasts before tapping them each on the forehead. A large cloud of flas burst forward, turning the figures into embers of flas before he turned around and began to walk towards the bus.
"Since you know I'm lying, and decided to help anyway, consider that power up a one ti gift," The Dream Myth's body appeared next to Howard, walking in the sand with an unnatural grace. "You-you know I lied to you, and you still fought to protect . I may be a liar, but I won't forget it."
"Are you leaving?" Howard smiled, turning to the Dream Myth's beautiful white eyes. "I-I like having you around! Lie to all you want! It was fun!"
"Being around you makes want to not lie anymore," the lady smiled and patted Howard on the back. "If you are ever in danger, dream about . I'll co to you in the middle of the night, and show you how to tap into powers you can't imagine."
"Thank you," Howard watched the Dream Myth turn to the side and gradually begin to walk away into the waves of sand blocking out the sun. "You're really pretty! Sleep with too next ti!"
"Howard, on the bus," Barabin said, opening the door. "You may not have noticed, but the Varlan are still chasing us. If we don't go now, your training will get a lot harder. Anyways, did she leave?"
"You couldn't see her?" Howard said, pointing into the sand storm. "She went that way. She-she said she'll help out if I'm ever in trouble."
"She's probably lying. To Dream Myths, lying makes life more exciting. If you ever get her to change, you'd be the first person in history to here the truth." Barabin smiled and looked at the storm brewing in the distance. "However, if she isn't, you might have made an impossibly strong ally."
