As they came to the forward channel at the edge of the sea of all living things, Alka would often enter dreams at night.
The main purpose was to observe whether there were any dream bubbles of terrestrial creatures around, and to see if there could be any islands similar to the Shipwreck Island.
The Shipwreck Island was the name they gave to the ship graveyard island at the entrance of their home.
Simple, direct and very fitting.
They were wondering if they could also encounter such an island here.
However, after sailing for several days, they had not seen it in their dreams, probably because it was gone.
Alka sat in the observation room at the top of the main mast, propped up his arms, and played the cards in his hand boredly.
Sitting next to her was a doll girl, whose hair was pure black, fully armed, dressed in pure black clothes, and even wearing a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of black pupils.
She was carrying a short bow on her back, the length of the short bow was very small, probably only suitable for her.
It looks more like a toy, but it is specially made by Alka. Although the arrows shot out are like fine needles, they have strong penetrating power.
It is okay to aim at other parts of the human body, and the damage is small.
But once it hits some important parts, such as the eyes, it is fatal.
Even if the fine needle is shot into the brain, it can cause death.
Alka originally wanted to equip her with a stone-shaking gun, but found that it would be meaningless if the stone-shaking gun was reduced to such a small shape.
The power of the bullets made is not as good as the penetrating bows and arrows made by Alka.
There are long fine needle blades on the waist and thighs.
This is the puppet girl No. 1, a professional sentinel.
Because she is a puppet, there is no rest. She has been assisting everyone in the observation room to be on guard.
The observation room at this time is no longer as empty as before.
There were all kinds of items in it.
Most of them were their own things, which helped them to kill some time while on guard in the lookout room.
For example, Porro's fitness equipment, Julia's music scores, Sofia's drawing board and brushes, some books, etc.
Footsteps were heard behind him.
Arka turned around and saw Julia coming up to take over the shift. She was holding an unknown musical instrument in her hand.
"Go and have a rest."
Arka nodded, and after coming out, he jumped down from above, swung along the cable to the second floor of the stern, and entered his room.
He fell asleep on the bed.
He sank into his dream in his sleep.
In his dream bubble, Arka opened his eyes, but he did not fall asleep immediately, but flew out of the bubble.
After patrolling the surroundings, he confirmed that there were no dream creatures outside everyone's bubbles.
However, patrolling like this all the time is not a solution. Sometimes Alka has things to do outside, so he will go to bed later, or even go back to sleep during the day.
It's okay on the forward route. Once he reaches the Endless Sea, it may not be as desolate as here.
Correspondingly, there will be more monsters in the dream world.
By then, he may not have so much time or so many opportunities to clean up these monsters that peek into their dreams at any time.
Before going to the Endless Sea, he has to come up with a solution.
While thinking, Alka's eyes lit up because he found another dream creature.
There was a black sickle floating next to a black and white round ball of light and shadow.
This is exactly what the dream death god looks like when he is resting.
This is another dream death god.
Alka had not simulated the dream god of death for fighting, not only because he had not encountered a suitable battle for the time being, but also because his observation of the dream god of death was still very one-sided.
Now that he had encountered another one, he had to observe it carefully.
Alka quietly shrank behind a ball of light gray mist and gently wrapped himself with pink mist.
He observed it blatantly, but he suddenly thought of something, and a piece of mirror fragment appeared in his hand, wrapped in mist and flew over.
It gently stuck to the side of the ball and disappeared.
This is a small object made by Alka combining a characteristic of the mirror and the powerful effect of mist in dreams.
In addition to locating the dream god of death, Alka can also observe his situation at any time.
This is something Alka studied for a long time specifically for his own simulation.
In this way, you can observe those rare dream monsters in the dream, and observe them more carefully anytime and anywhere.
This thing was born out of Alka's previous desire to locate the location of the dream god of death. Because they were always moving forward in the outside world, they left the range where the god of death was, so even if they located it, they could not go over to observe.
After locating it this time, you can also use the fragments of the mirror to observe. Because it is wrapped in pink mist and invisible, it is almost unnoticeable.
After coming to the dream of the outside world recently, Alka found that the pink mist has a high priority in the dream, or it is a very powerful energy for the dream.
The performance in the dream is similar to universal energy, and Alka can use it to achieve many of his ideas.
In this way, Alka can observe the habits of the dream god of death anytime and anywhere, and it is best to be able to fully simulate the ability of the dream god of death.
After all, the creatures in the dream do not have the so-called physiological structure. When they die, they will directly turn into countless light and shadows and dissipate. There is no possibility of dissection at all.
The best way is to observe.
After marking, Alka's figure disappeared and entered Lucilia's dream world.
At this time, Lucilia was awake in the dream. Every time Lucilia appeared in the dream recently, Alka had to go in and wake her up.
This was her own request.
At this time, Lucilia's dream had already changed beyond recognition and turned into various obstacles.
After Alka entered the bubble of the dream, he came to the safe platform above the dream. He didn't want to go down and get hit for no reason.
Although most of these obstacles were designed by him.
If the obstacles in the entire dream world are arranged and viewed on a large scale, it will be found that this seems to be some kind of arcade-like level-breaking game.
Alka designed these mechanisms based on these level-breaking games, and designed them to be more anti-human.
Because anti-humanity is the purpose of these mechanisms.
What is needed is to make Lucilia get used to the body of the puppet, rather than let the concept remain in the flesh and blood.
When dodging, it is best to experience the strange effects that the puppet body can achieve.
These are all Lucilia's efforts to create a fighting method suitable for puppets.
There was an explosion below, and a dark figure was blown up and landed on a safe platform.
Luciliah was charred all over, waved the ash in front of her, coughed, and a cloud of black mist was sprayed out of her mouth.
Then she pointed at her body and was refreshed.
After all, this is a dream, or her own dream.
"Arka? How did you get in?"
"I met the Grim Reaper in my dream again outside. Do you want to observe it together this time? Aren't you going to record it?"
Hearing this, Lucilia stood up directly, her eyes shining: "No problem, let's go."
Lucilia was very interested in the Grim Reaper in the dream that Arka had recorded before, and specifically told him to take her with him if he had the chance next time he met the Grim Reaper in the dream.
So Arka came.
After saying that, he took Arka to the sky. During the flight, Arka wrapped the two of them with clouds and mist, breaking through the bubble layer of the dream.
After arriving in the outside world, Arka took Lucilia to the place where they were just now, hiding behind the clouds.
Lucilia looked at the sphere, and a notebook and a paintbrush appeared in her hand.
The reason why these things can appear outside her dream bubble is because Arka simulated them for her with pink mist.
This is also what the pink mist can do in dreams, but this function comes from Alka's promotion to the second stage.
Writing and drawing with this thing cannot bring out dreams, but it can deepen Lucilia's memory in dreams so that she can write it clearly in the outside world.
Looking at the black and white sphere in the distance and the sickle surrounding it, he began to draw his appearance.
While drawing, he asked: "Is this the sphere you said he condensed when he was resting?"
Alka nodded.
The two of them secretly observed like peepers.
"What are those pink mists that are exposed from both sides? They seem to be different from yours?"
After a while, Lucilia saw that very light pink mist particles were flying out from both sides of the sphere. If you don't look carefully, they will be blurred by the surrounding light and shadow.
Alkawi squinted his eyes and looked carefully: "That should be the food he eats. This pink mist is usually the energy of dreams. I saw them eating like this last time."
"So the current situation is that he is already digesting his food or dream energy, and the powder that is exposed is the consumption generated when he digests it?"
"... Can't it be perfectly utilized?"
Lucilia muttered to herself and began to write in the notebook.
Not long after, Alka felt that the dream in the distance was wriggling: "Pay attention, something is coming."
Hearing this, Lusilia, who was observing, looked carefully.
It was a dream creature like a python, about two meters long.
It looked more like a snake-like shadow, and it was pitch black on the outside and no eyes or anything like that could be seen on its body.
It swam slowly in the dream world.
"It seems to be deliberately moving towards the black module that matches his color, as if it can hide its body?"
A dream creature that has never been seen before, Lucilia turned a page and began to record.
"Does it want to prey on the dream god of death?" Alka asked and observed more carefully.
The main thing is this python-like black shadow, which is really like a predator now.
In this way, the black shadow-like python creature has reached the side of the god of death, about three meters away.
At this time, the python shadow has slowly stretched out its body at a turtle's speed, trying not to disturb the sleep of the dream god of death.
Until it was about two meters away, the dream god of death woke up.
Just like waking up, the sphere instantly turned into a humanoid creature wearing a light and shadow cloak.
Alka just observed very carefully.
It seemed that when he was resting, there was a circle of detection waves about two meters around the sphere, and the black shadow python touched the waves when it approached two meters.
Tell Lucilia about his discovery and ask her to write it down quickly.
Then there was a more exciting scene.
The dream god of death held a black sickle in his hand and hooked it directly from the bottom to the top, towards the black shadow python.
Seeing that his predation behavior was discovered, the black shadow python was no longer cautious and his body swelled up immediately.
However, the length was still only about two meters, but it suddenly swelled at the upper 1/3 of the whole body, and the black shadow seemed to open a huge mouth.
Bit directly at the dream god of death.
It can be felt that this black shadow python is at least much stronger than the eye monster.
This sudden bite was extremely fast, avoiding the attack of the sickle and biting the enemy instead.
When the Dream Reaper was about to be bitten, he turned into a stream of light and went directly behind the python.
Alka, who had been observing, had bright eyes.
If he observed for a while, he might be able to simulate the action he had never seen before.
The pink mist and lenses attached to the Dream Reaper also helped Alka to observe more carefully.
The Dream Reaper behind him swung his sickle quickly and cut the back of the black shadow python. The light and shadow fluid like ink flowed out, similar to the blood of the python.
The tail of the black silver python suddenly stretched out and whipped the Dream Reaper like a long whip.
The corner of the cloak on the Dream Reaper curled up and slightly lifted, blocking this attack.
But the impact also made the Dream Reaper move a few meters to the side.
The python's figure bent back and forth crazily, so fast that it seemed to be twitching, and like a slingshot, the figure was directly ejected 10 meters away.
Turning his head, his mouth opened again, and this time he spit out a black shadow ball.
Flying out with a long tail of light and shadow.
The Dream Death God dodged left and right. There were too many shadow balls. He seemed to have no chance to attack, and he couldn't move forward.
He raised his sickle, and after dodging another shadow ball, he threw his sickle directly out.
The sickle rotated, and the light and shadow trail on the sickle directly formed a circle, and flew over at a very fast speed.
This time the attack was so powerful that even the light and shadow cloak on the Dream Death God became a little dim, as if it had used too much energy.
This should be a special way of attack.
The spiral sickle cut through the enemy's open mouth. The speed was too fast, and there was no time to dodge it completely.
Fortunately, it did not hurt the vital parts, and the python was not a pushover and dodged to the side.
However, the sickle that flew behind it flew back again, returning faster, and the python had never expected it.
It directly penetrated the swollen front end of the python, cut a huge gap, and returned to the hands of the dream god of death.
The penetrated python was like a leak, and countless black shadows splashed.
As the liquid-like black shadow was ejected and merged into the surrounding environment, the black shadow of the python became smaller and smaller until it completely disappeared.
It seems that this python is not in the dream god of death's menu. He just watched the python disappear from the side until it completely disappeared, and then flew to the side with the sickle.
It seems that this battle did not take him too much thought.
After finding another corner, he curled up into a black and white ball of mist and rested.
Alka and the other two secretly watched from the side.
The information collected this time is too much.
It is very consistent with Alka's wishes. If he simulates the appearance of the dream god of death now, he can also let the light and shadow cloak help him block the damage.
He can also throw out the sickle and take it back, but he has not yet observed the way of action that quickly turns into light and shadow. It seems that there are other key points that he has not observed.
It is impossible to simulate such a way of action, but in any case, the form of the dream god of death has been further improved.
Moreover, the strength of the dream god of death is stronger than Alka imagined, and it seems that the behavior of this dream god of death is smarter.
Alka also simulated the black shadow python, but no matter which part of the simulation corresponds to it, it turns into a black shadow of the same shape.
Lucilia next to him kept writing on the book in her hand. She wanted to record all the creatures of these two dreams and include them in the monster encyclopedia.
Alka turned his head and looked at the information in Lucilia's manual.
Based on the feeling he got from the simulation, he pointed out: "The real body of the dream god of death is not like his appearance. Whether it is weapons or the light and shadow cloak, they all come from a ball in the middle of the body. The rest are all energy supply parts."
As he spoke, a mirror appeared on Alka's face, and he performed the state of the dream god of death for Lucia on the spot.
Lucilia observed for a while before nodding: "It's really a strange creature."
If it is analogous to a human figure, it is equivalent to the head, chest and even legs supplying energy to the ball at the waist.
So that this ball can cover the whole body with a layer of light and shadow cloak, wrap the whole body for protection, and condense a black shadow sickle for attack.
And described to Lucilia the scene of the dream god of death hunting that Alka had seen before.
Using the sickle to cut open some weaker dreams, Bubble absorbed the pink dream energy that came out of the gap into his body.
Then the two waited for a long time in the same place, and when they were sure that the death god in the dream was resting and no longer moving, they returned to their respective dreams.
