Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190: Erald Dream and Power of the Earth
After the kiss goodbye, Luviya returned to the "Abundant Land Inn" to rest, while Shard went back to his ho in Tobesk and saw Mia he hadn’t seen all day.
As for the Ti Key, he had no clues about it so far. So he planned to first visit the local black market tomorrow, which was Thursday, and then see the old gentleman whom Priest Augustus ntioned and to whom he owed 10 pennies. If he still had no leads then, he’d wait for Margaret to arrive in Randall Valley on Friday; Her Highness the Princess might be able to help him.
This should have been a very peaceful night. After freshening up, Shard extinguished the gas lamp in the room. However, as he said goodnight to Mia by his pillow and closed his eyes as usual, he imdiately realized he was going to dream.
But this ti, he wasn’t dreaming of gazing at the large Silvermoon from the ridge; instead, he was falling through the sky continuously, eventually landing gently like a feather onto the grassy ground in the moonlight and woodland.
The flora was lush, with greenery growing and flowers blooming on the earth beneath him. Moonlight passed through the gaps in the treetops, leaving traces of light in the woodland, as sounds of animals and insects rged with the wind rustling through the woods.
Firefly-like glimrs gently swayed over the woodland and grassy ground, a scene akin to the most real fairy tale.
Shard supported himself on the ground to stand up, first looking at the gold marks on his body, then looking up at the three full moons in the sky before surveying the surroundings from the woodland clearing.
"Is this a dream... Whisper Elent... Erald Dream?"
[Yes.]
Using "Oak’s Luck Potion" to increase his fortune ca with the price that he might enter the Angel-Level Relic "Erald Dream" within the week. Shard knew of this Relic; rumor has it that it split off from the Dreamscape, a strange semi-real world created by Nature and Earth.
Shard used the Magic Potion on Tuesday morning and was fine last night, never expecting the dream to occur tonight.
"What an intriguing Relic, an intriguing dream..."
Because he had entered a real forest before, he knew this peaceful woodland under the moonlight was so dreamy and tranquil. Though an Angel-Level Relic, Shard’s psychic resistance was extrely high in the dream, making him almost completely immune to its effects.
The "Erald Dream" cannot be left actively, but one can wait for natural awakening. Though rated as Angel-Level, there was no malice here towards him.
Thinking this, he bent down to sit back on the grassy ground, wanting to wait quietly for the dream to end. However, when he tried to lie down among the green grass and flowers, gazing upwards at the Star River from the woodland clearing, he noticed a faint tremor in the ground.
"Hm? An earthquake? Can there be earthquakes even in a dream?"
Suddenly, black mud seeped from the soil, the nauseating black sludge had already flooded at least a third of the grassy ground when Shard scrambled to get up in panic. The center of the sludge seepage was right in the middle of the woodland clearing, precisely where Shard was positioned.
"What is that?"
rely contacting the flowing sludge imparted a mild stinging sensation to the soul. It began by seeping from the soil, but quickly turned into a small black mud fountain. As Shard kept backing away to prevent the sludge from engulfing him, the pressure of the black mud spray matched that of the fountains opened at noble manors during sumr to impress at banquets.
The black mud flowed across the woodland clearing towards all directions, anwhile, the fairytale-like dreamy scene around him started to corrode and collapse, the dream’s malice openly revealing itself to Shard, even the three moons in the sky vaguely transforming into gigantic blood-red eyes.
"Though the Erald Dream is a Relic, can such a situation happen? Old John never ntioned this."
Shard was utterly baffled by what was happening, but it didn’t stop him from stretching out his finger:
"Silvermoon!"
Spellcasting in the dream still consud spirit but the power of Arcane Techniques was greatly enhanced. As Moonlight erupted, it illuminated the entire woodland, shrinking the "Mud Spring Eye" by at least a third. The sludge on the ground completely disappeared, illuminating the bare ground exposed by the corroded flowers and grass with a layer of sanctified silver glimr.
But soon, the "Spring Eye" exploded again, spraying black sludge to swamp the earth. Shard was about to once more summon Silvermoon’s shine, but unexpectedly, a dense mass of black hands extended from the sludge, attempting to grasp his body, forcing him to retreat to the edge of the woodland clearing.
Perhaps wary of Shard, the mud flowed in directions avoiding him, yet the corruption of the entire dream continued accelerating. The dense mass of hands retreated into the black sludge, as a new huge entity erged from the sludge amidst a thunderous roar.
Wings blotting out the moon unfolded in the sky, scale-like skeleton armor clung to its body, and a massive tail appeared capable of smashing through all obstacles like a battering ram.
A gray-green Dragon circled in the sky, and as it opened its mouth, a malicious black sludge sphere within kept swelling larger.
"A Dragon? Unfortunately, in the dream, I don’t have the Higgs Dragonhead Stone."
Roar~
Without giving Shard any chance to dodge, the Dragon Roar accompanied the massive black sludge sphere, striking at Shard as a beam, but as the Moonlight Greatsword pierced into the ground, a golden spherical shield shattered, completely blocking this hit:
"Even in a dream, there’s a battle, truly leaving
no respite."
Lightly tapping the ground with his toes, Shard leaped into the sky, as the Dragon’s tail swept horizontally, his body vanished into the air and reappeared above the Dragon’s head:
"But fortunately, it is a dream... Moonlight Greatsword!"
The Divine Afterglow on his body infused the Greatsword in his hand; as Shard thrust the sword downward, the Two-Handed Sword grew rapidly, ultimately piercing through and pinning the Dragon to the ground like a column cast by a giant. Yet this did not end it, three more giant Moonlight Swords summoned by the Blade of Chaotic Space-Ti manifested from the void, jointly piercing the Dragon’s body, pinning it into the mud in the woodland clearing.
In the real world, Shard couldn’t replicate such a maneuver.
The black dragon disintegrated, transforming back into mud. Before Shard could make further moves, more monsters flew out from the black mud—bats, poisonous snakes, decaying birds, venomous scorpions—densely obscuring the sky and earth, forcing Shard to step back:
"Do they think they can defeat
with sheer numbers?"
Shard took a deep breath as sunlight glimred at his fingertips. Although the [Night Watchman] wasn’t in hand and he couldn’t use the "Sunlight Cannon
