*Noir POV*
"Our current situation neither. Not to mention that dreams doesn't have limits so neither I. In dreams I decide what can escape and what cannot, because throughout the Dreams and Nightmares I alone is the honored
one. "
Followed by awkward silence.
"Okay."
Honestly I regretted saying those lines, fortunately there are only 2 of us here and she's a quiet person so she probably won't tell anyone about it but it's still embarrassing. I got carried away by the fact that I can use my powers here. I need to focus.
"So what now?" I asked
"Can you still use your powers to transfer fatigue?"
"Yes
"What's the limit?"
"I don't know, I have never use it before."
"then let's try it."
She walked towards
to the monsters and a blue cold energy appeared in her hand and more blue energy
appeared surrounding her then she attack the monsters with those cold energy.
"{Frozen wave barrage}"
It's getting colder and colder, I might get frozen if this continues.
'Unbearable cold will Escape from me {Dream Escape}.'
Wow! That really
worked as I imagined I didn't feel the cold anymore. I continued to transfer
her fatigue to the monsters and she continued her attack on them until they
become Ice statues and crumble into pieces.
"Satisfied now?"
She nodded.
"So where to go now?"
She shrugged her shoulders
*Sigh* It's getting harder and harder to talk to her.
"By the way I'm Noir, I'm from Gimel class of the same school. Nice to meet you!"
"I'm Yulia. Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome."
We continued our walk and I felt like I can
use {Dream Escape} again meaning danger, but from where? I heard it.
I quickly grabbed and carried her and use my powers to jump high. About 50 Moles with drill like claws come out of the ground and shoot towards us like a bullet. I manage to dodge Instinctively. We use the same tactic as earlier, transfer her fatigue to
the moles and attack them with her Ice powers.
"Transfer me on your back." She ordered
I just did what I was told instantly. I was
amazed by her precision and control because this is a "dream" I could rely on
my subconscious to dodge everything by believing I could dodge it and I can
Escape from any situation. She's different she need to consciously control her
power and she gets better as the time goes by. She's adapting to the speed,
that's why she's amazing.
*Yulia's POV*
Seriously? I'm now riding on a man's back and fighting against Drill mole.
Creature: Drill mole.
Strength: Dangerous!
Agility: sub sonic
Endurance: Extremely High
Intelligence: beasts instinct
Magic: earth and wind
Proficiency: dangerous!
Weakness: its intelligence
(Appraisal note: It can drill the ground and air. It can move in sub sonic speed in air.)
Another starter monster in "Eldrich tales" but each monster is more outrageous in reality. Sub sonic? I can barely see that. Then there's Noir who is dodging them flawlessly but don't underestimate the power of a pro-gamer. If I can't follow them using
my eyes then I'll use my ear to hear the sound. When the moles are using wind
drill they're producing *wosh! wosh!* Sound. If I can guess the trajectory I
can hit them. I can do it.
One is shooting upward and Noir is moving to the left mid air to dodge. I shoot it the extreme precision with ice javelin.
*Bang*
'{Appraisal Note: The technique "Sound appraisal detection" has been created and fused with the appraisal system}'
Hahaha! See that? That's so neat. With Noir's ability to transfer fatigue and it's not just physical fatigue even mind and spirit so my power is unlimited. This is the best party member that I could ever hope for. We are absolutely destroying every monsters. We are running around the dungeon like we own the place in sub-sonic speed or even faster while shooting them one by one until they got annihilated. I got off his back and he started stretching out.
"That was a really good fight. I had a good time."
"Mhm."
I agreed, that was certainly a thrilling experience. So what to do now? If this is the
tutorial level of "Eldrich Tale" then we have to find the boss room to beat the game but we don't have the map. We can't just walk aimlessly right? Come on, think! Think! Think! Brain blast!
"I've got an Idea."
"huh? What is it?"
"Kill every monster in sight."
"Why?"
"Just a guess"
I remembered something from my previous life. There's a lore about the dungeon of Eldritch tale that it is a living being and the monsters inside are it's spawns. If we kill all of them the huge tutorial level will shrink but the boss will get a terrifying buff that can kill all newbie in game. The rewards are sweet though so many gamers including me created another account to beat the game for the rewards. This is a gamble but this is
the only thing we cold do if we want to finish it without relying on luck.
I used {Sound appraisal detection } to detect the sound of monsters and we go anywhere that has any sign of movement. We encountered "Black Forest Willow Trees"
Creature: Black Forest Willow Tree
Strength: Dangerous!
Agility: slow body
(sub-sonic roots)
Endurance: Extremely High
Intelligence: beasts instinct
Magic: poison
Proficiency: dangerous!
Weakness: fire
(Appraisal note: the roots are extremely poisonous.)
"How can there be trees if there's no sun?"
He asked
"Because dreams have no limit."
"Ah! You're right."
You'll only lose If you think about logic in this situation but I bet there's a lot of monster bones and skull under those roots. Anyway these monsters are weak against fire but I can only produce Ice so we will have to use my powers to the limit. Weakness or not if you're strong enough, you could still destroy any enemies in your way.
"I need to get close to the body."
"Okay"
I was teleported near to the body of the tree and strike it wit my palm covered by Ice energy.
"{Internal frost}" and freezing it's body from the inside.
*Skrieeea!!!* It screamed, alarming other willow trees. Before they could hit me with the poisonous roots, I was teleported to another tree and hit it with {Internal frost} and freeze it from the inside. We repeated the process until the entire forest become Ice Forest. It's so beautiful, I turned my back on it and use it as my back ground. I raised my hand and snap my fingers creating a crisp sound.
*Snap*
*Crack* *Crack*
The entire forest stated to crumble
*CRASH!!!*
I heared a loud crashing sound behind me and smirk. So this is how it felt to aura farm, so satisfying. I have gotten really stronger aren't I? This wouldn't be possible before I came here but it also thanks to Noir's support otherwise this is still impossible to the current me. I walked towards him and said.
"Let's Go"
"Okay, but wow! That's so cool."
"Mhm."
I answered briefly because I can't destroy my image after I aura farmed right?
*Yasmin's POV*
We watched my daughter's "performance" in awe. As expected from my daughter. She's extremely beautiful and excellent. All my fears and worries before change into awe.
" See that Arnold? That's what I called cool."
George said with a smirk while fixing his glasses.
" Kids now a days are monsters. Unbelievable."
*Bang!*
"Ouch!"
George smacked his head
"Don't call my daughter a monster."
I agreed
"But with that powers, precision and control? Those techniques and adaptability in the middle of battle? She's several times better than Davis' daughter who has purple level of psychic powers. What do you call
that?"
"My daughter's excellence."
He proudly said
"If it's other people's daughter?"
Arnold stubbornly
asked
"Mons—
*Smack*
It's my turn to smack my husband's head.
" Don't call others monster casually, that's rude."
"Joking aside, they're better than me when I first entered the Hell's trial. I only know how to hide, hit and run at that time until I
reached the boss and luckily got out but these kids want to annihilate all the
monsters there."
"Is it feasible?" my husband asked
"I don't know, I'm not brave enough to know that time. Even though their battle experience is still lacking like conserving stamina the raw talent is there. However, with the teammate like Noir, who cares about conserving stamina?"
"I believe that they will be able to through this trial safely."
I said hopefully.
*Noir's POV.*
We managed to deal with several monsters by relying on the same tactic. Like purple rats, swarm of different giant insects, starfish hound again and so on. There are monsters that tried to escape but I won't let them. The Monsters here are endless I don't know if we could pull off the thing we discussed earlier but that is the only clue we have and I don't even know if it's
a clue. I just trust her.
We are now facing 20 carnivorous reindeer with lightning powers.
They're running fast, covered by lightning. It's a little bit tough, they can't hit us because of me but we can't hit them either. Yulia tried her powers on them but it doesn't work because they are covered with lightning and
I don't have offensive powers. They tried to escape but I won't let them. We also tried to burn out our stamina several times and transferred fatigue to them but these monsters are really tough.
"What to do now?" I asked
"Their neck is their weakness. If we can hit it they'll die."
"Anyone would die if you cut their neck you know? But the problem is the we can't hit them!."
"Tsk!"
Can't hit? Wait a minute. I'm so dumb! We can't hit them because they are covered by lightning right? So if I remove their lightning
powers from their body.
'Let their powers escape from their body {Dream Escape}'
Their lightning powers disappeared and the reindeers stopped moving, confused by the situation.
"HELL YEAH!!"
I cheered
Yulia: "…."
....
Yasmin: "…."
George:"…."
Arnold:"…."
Selena :"…."
...
So if their powers are gone where did it go? I suddenly felt the strange power inside my body. Black lightning energy is uncontrollably running out of my body. My body is burning, it's so painful
"*URGHAAAAAAAAH*"
I NEED TO RELEASE IT! I transfer all of the damage in my body to the reindeers and release the lightning energy to them and transfer Yulia as far as I can.
"BOOOOOOM!!!"
They got obliterated with nothing left like being hit by a nuke. I manage to survive but
I will never do that again unless necessary. The other problem? My clothes got
destroyed.
"*Sigh!* What a bad luck. Fortunately I transferred Yulia away."
That's so reckless of me. I need to find a solution for this clothes problem or Yulia might get into trouble.
*Yulia*
I can't believe it. HE'S SO RECKLESS. He just transferred their magic powers on himself. That's a magical energy of 20 Tempest deers.
Creature: Tempest Deer
Strength: Dangerous!
Agility: speed of sound
Endurance: Extremely High
Intelligence: Extremely intelligent
Magic: Lightning and Thunder
Proficiency: Force of Nature
Weakness: neck is the most vulnerable part of the body
I need to find him quickly or we might get into trouble
