Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Dream Maker Invasion!_1
Tuck didn’t know whether it was because he and Hilor had plunged deep into the ecology of the Blood Race Castle and eradicated a Blood Clan stronghold there.
Or perhaps, it was because Tuck had penetrated the upper echelons of the Blood Race council and had a clash with the Dark Sun Saint Child.
After the uproar that was almost citywide news of an S-Level Transcendent Talent making headlines.
The Blood Race and Werewolves of the underground world, sohow, mysteriously quieted down.
Even the progress of the Blood Race Ecology had co to a halt.
A few days later.
St. Land announced, in St. Land, in the Steam Tis.
And concurrently, Selions Capital “Floating Star City” in the Duchy Cerion’s Steam Tis.
Both declared the war ordinance—the Steam Lighthouse Project!
The entire page of that day’s newspaper was dedicated to the Steam Lighthouse Project of Duchy Cerion.
As the news disseminated through the Steam Tis.
The sensation it caused far surpassed that of the Blaspher’s S-Level Transcendent Talent.
The impact was imdiate and profound.
With the issuance of the newspaper, resources in St. Land rose in price that very day.
The drinks at the place where Tuck often went downstairs to gather news and drink, had doubled in price within just two days.
Without a doubt.
The “Steam Lighthouse Project” released by the Duchy Cerion’s newspaper.
Was a declaration of war against the Dark Sun Church.
Its influence was deep and far-reaching.
As prices soared, every household began to hoard goods, and even the number of pedestrians on the streets had dwindled.
The atmosphere of war began to spread throughout St. Land.
In such a warlike atmosphere.
Tuck’s life also began to stabilize.
Going to High Tower to study, sitting in ditation in the Magic Cottage, and crafting materials in the dark chamber, and so on.
Occasionally going out to purchase so resources that he needed, and so forth.
Like this, more than a month flew by quickly.
……
In the Barrier chamber.
In the corner, Tuck, sitting on the Bear Skin ditation Seat, slowly opened his eyes.
Although surrounded by darkness, Tuck could still clearly see everything around him.
“The arcane aning of the Light rune, after over a month of practice, is almost at the Second Rank standard now.”
“The progress is quite good.”
“The power of Sculpting Light Spear and Holy Light Healing Magic has also increased accordingly.”
“Besides…”
“The arcane aning of the Fire Rune is also making good progress.”
“Next ti there’s an extraordinary gathering of Transcendents in the black market, I can see if there’s any impressive Fire Magic or Light Magic.”
“The remaining ecological niche should be able to accommodate a Three-Star Rune Magic.”
“If I encounter a suitable Three-star Wizard, that would be great, but if not, supplenting with so impressive Two-star Wizardry wouldn’t be bad either.”
“If I co across similar Three-Star Rune Magic in the future, I can also transform it by establishing a Magic Bridge.”
With such thoughts in mind, Tuck relaxed his body slightly.
When Tuck advanced to Second Rank, he used top-grade materials, allowing him to sit and ditate for long periods without experiencing physical numbness or a sinking of the soul’s consciousness.
Tuck, upon standing up, rubbed his fingers and flicked lightly, the spark landed on the wall lamp.
The darkness of the Barrier chamber was quickly illuminated by the wall lamp.
Approaching the pet bag next to him, under Tuck’s gaze.
The platypus-like magical creature inside appeared within Tuck’s field of vision.
The Magic Lock Chain that originally restrained this little fellow had been removed by Tuck.
Even the small lightning magic restriction within the creature had also been removed by Tuck.
Yet this magical little fellow clearly developed a fear of humans.
And it seed Tuck didn’t have much talent for animal affection either.
Tuck’s communication was like playing the lute to a cow.
The magical little animal didn’t pay the slightest attention.
Tuck even went so far as to look up “Cooking Techniques of Magical Creatures” at High Tower.
With no other option, Tuck had to let the little fellow roam freely within the chamber.
Following the feeding with Blood Crystals and relative foods.
The condition of the little magical fellow now was visibly better than when it first arrived in Tuck’s hands, and its fur had even begun to regain its sheen as it lived a cycle of eating and sleeping.
A few tis, when Tuck observed secretly, he found that the little creature would run out of the pet bag on its own.
As soon as Tuck entered, the little fellow would scurry back into the pet bag with astonishing speed.
What Tuck had discerned thus far was that the little fellow had a strong sense of sll for tallic substances—the rarer the tal, the more sensitive the little creature’s nose.
Tuck surmised that its previous owner probably used this trait to sniff out Magic Gold on drunkards and thereby make a fortune.
Alas, after encountering Tuck, the creature lost even its nest egg.
This magical animal, which Tuck had nad “Little Sniff Duck,” was gradually adapting to the environnt here.
And it showed a conspicuous interest in Tuck’s Magic Cottage.
Whenever Tuck was absent, the little fellow would wander around the vicinity of the Magic Cottage.
It also took the opportunity to gnaw away the Blood Crystals and scrap tal materials that Tuck had placed near the Magic Cottage.
Just when Tuck was preparing to craft a batch of the elite materials he had purchased from the black market last ti.
“Hmm?”
“”
Tuck’s expression shifted ever so slightly.
“Soone’s coming?”
Imdiately, Tuck perford a Phase Transition and arrived in the bedroom of the rented cottage.
Looking out through the bedroom wall, Tuck could see nothing unusual outside.
“Sothing’s not right!”
Tuck’s eyes narrowed slightly as his Phase Vision activated.
“Soone is coming, but not from the Reality Realm–it’s from the Dream Layer.”
“A Dream maker?”
A mont later, Tuck spread out a wool blanket beside the bed and sat down on it, assuming a ditative pose.
“Breathe . . . in . . . out . . .”
In a calm and serene state, Tuck slowly harmonized with the Dream Layer realm using the Steam Origin Energy Spirit State.
Within the Dream Layer, Tuck’s rented cottage appeared no different from reality.
However, the world outside the window was a completely different story.
A cold black moon hung high in the sky.
Bizarre ashes continuously drifted and fell.
The entire world was filled with monotonous shades of gray and white.
The entire Dream Layer was like a frozen river surface covered with snow.
It appeared solid, but was in fact riddled with traps everywhere.
Non-dream Transcendents who leave their own dreamscapes to enter the external Dream Layer
Without the support of their own Dream Sequence or the Dream Environnt in the Transcendent State,
Their dream spirit body can easily get lost or even sink into the depths of ashen nightmares.
St. Land’s ecology supports a multi-dinsion Transcendent World ecosystem.
Similarly, the Dark Sun Church’s Dark Sun Ecology pollutes the multi-dinsion Transcendent World ecosystem.
The great Barrier stands as a vast and awe-inspiring entity.
Constructed with a foundation of the Iron-coupled wall and the Silver Holy Barrier, it could block dream invasions even within the Dream World.
Even without such asures, if anyone dared invade Tuck’s dreams, he would clearly sense their presence.
After all, the Soul Runes of the Fourth Rank were not just powerful by any standard.
At that mont,
Outside the Dream Cottage representing Tuck’s defensive fortress,
a Level 45 Fourth Rank Dream maker was standing with a Level 26 Second Rank Dream maker just outside Tuck’s cottage.
“Senior, this wizard’s Dream Door won’t open.”
After repeated attempts, the Level 26 Dream maker, unable to open the door, turned helplessly towards his Level 45 senior.
“Although this wizard has concealed his Level, and appears to be Level 21, in actuality, he’s only Level 23.”
“Generally speaking, a wizard’s ordinary Dream Defense thods are about 60% of their level.”
“Which ans that this 23-Level wizard’s dream defense ability might be around Level 13 or 14, at most Level 15.”
“It’s difficult to withstand a Dream maker of the sa level’s ability to open a Dream Door.”
“Even if he were a more powerful wizard with dream defense abilities at 80% of his level, he couldn’t stop you.”
“After all, your level is 26, which is quite a bit higher than his.”
After a lecture, the Level 45 Dream maker stepped forward, ready to use his own Dream Door thod to open Tuck’s dream.
The defenses Tuck constructed in the Dream Layer could certainly stop this Level 45 Dream maker’s invasion.
But that would give him away.
When the Level 45 Dream maker executed his Dream Door technique,
Tuck cooperated silently with the intruder.
“Click!”
Tuck’s dream was suddenly opened.
“See, wasn’t that easy? Rember to practice hard when you get back, understood?”
“Understood, Senior!”
“You have a Talent for the dream arts, perhaps one day you’ll even surpass .”
The lecture-loving Fourth Rank Dream maker continued to play to his strengths.
As he opened Tuck’s Dream Door,
the Fourth Rank Dream maker’s power began to emanate, enveloping the surroundings.
In a semi-dream state, Tuck quickly got pulled deeper into the dream.
Inside the bedroom, Tuck looked at his increasingly solidified dream spirit body and couldn’t help but marvel.
“This Fourth Rank Dream maker does have so tricks up his sleeve.”
In the living room, the Fourth Rank Dream maker began lecturing the Second Rank Dream maker again.
“Be careful. Wizards are among the more threatening existences in our Sequence.”
“If we do sothing too outrageous in their dream world, or even threaten them,
“They will quickly beco aware of it.”
“Because we build the dream by pulling wizards into it.”
“Therefore, they can also exert astonishing power in the dream.”
“Though it’s not enough to cause us harm, it’s still unpleasant to be embarrassed, and besides, wizards hold grudges. If they have divination or tracking skills, they might find us in reality, and then it won’t be just embarrassnt, but a matter of life and danger.”
Soon the two Dream makers entered Tuck’s bedroom.
“What is your na?”
Without hesitation, the Fourth Rank Dream maker began questioning Tuck using so sort of Dream Mantra.
Clearly, he thought that as a Fourth Rank Dream maker, dealing with a Second Rank wizard would be very easy.
