Who is the real culprit behind the colors group of idiots? Each idiot seems to be some sort of clone or something, as if they all came from the same soul.
The sole thought of imagining the disgusting monster behind all of them really makes me think that not even the strongest Immortal could be as resourceful to make so many of them and so loyal together, even if spread…
I bet a Venerable was behind this all.
But who?
"Who is the Venerable behind you guys?" I asked.
"Hah! As if I were to tell you anything!" he said.
"You've spoken a lot already, speak some more now." I said, as I continued to freeze the dreamscape.
"My words were mere distractions; you've already fallen into my plan!" he said.
"What?"
Crack… crack…!
CRASH!
The entirety of the dreamscape began to distort tremendously out of nowhere, I felt the urge to hold the ice together so it wouldn't destroy the dreamscape, but the entire fabric of the dream was turning into nothingness, therefore, even the ice was being destroyed.
"You're not going anywhere!" I roared.
I unleashed my complete intent and powers towards him, trying to grasp a part of him, but because he was spread everywhere, I tried countless times and ended with no results, the cunning bastard was constantly moving his true self around the entire cracking and distorting dream, as I was trying to follow his trails!
However, against my wildest expectations, it was not possible. The entire dream distorted itself and so everything was falling apart constantly, there was no way to catch him in time…
"Hahahaha! You've won this time, but don't think that I will lose the next time! I will be waiting for you!" laughed Black, as the entirety of the dreamscape exploded before me.
BOOOOOOOMMM!!!
The constant and enormous waves of dreams and nightmares began to consume my entire being, as my soul wavered in agony and pain.
I gritted my teeth as I felt frustration, this bastard was able to do this since the beginning but choose not to, just because he thought he could still beat me?
His words were insightful, that was the reason why I stopped my charge and listened to him, but after gaining enough time by mildly revealing some important information, he managed to detach his true self from this dreamscape and escaped, while detonating the entire dreamscape.
It was his creation, so he held the ultimate rule over it, detonating it was within his authority.
My soul began to move in agony as I flew away from the destruction, Belle helped me conjure countless barriers around me, but all of them were being destroyed by the second.
"Unngh… Damn it!!!" I roared angrily.
"DRAKE!" Belle's scream resonated loudly, as a distortion in space happened before I was to lose consciousness, and it brought me away from the all-consuming energies.
…
Pain encompassed my entire soul to the point that I felt like I was about to die at any moment.
Damn it, once more I was hurt badly through dreams… My soul had grown too weakened.
I slightly opened my eyes, finding myself inside a dream- no, a different place…
What is this place?
I looked everywhere and found that I was in the middle of a vast forest.
There was a river flowing behind me, and the sun atop the sky was shining brightly.
Where was I?
What is this place?
I walked around, but found only wilderness.
"Hahh… Ungh… My soul…"
I fell over the grass, panting in agony.
I began to slowly crawl around, trying to find where I was and what was this all about.
Suddenly, I heard someone approaching me.
I glared behind me, finding out a beautiful fox woman with pink-colored fox tails, nine of them behind her back.
She had two fluffy ears atop her head, and a beautiful smile, her eyes shone brightly with purple and pink light.
She wore a Japanese-like kimono, and showed part of her skin carelessly, her beautiful and slender legs had very plump thighs, which were even more accentuated as she wore tight white stockings, and pink wooden sandals.
Her pink clothes shone brightly and combined well with her pink fur in her tails. Her eyes seemed filled with contempt, and her smile was serene.
She approached me as she brought to me something, a glass with what I could only describe as a liquid similar to liquid gold.
"Drink this." she said.
Without being able to question her, I appeased my thirst and drank her elixir, the water was cold and refreshing, it was all-encompassing as it covered my entire body with vigor.
My mind felt clear as my soul danced in happiness, a fountain of essence covered my soul and made it grow stronger by the second. I looked back at this woman, and I finally realized, with a clearer mind, that she was the Dream Fox Venerable.
But why was she here? How did she brought me here? And how?
All the pain in my soul was gone, and I felt like it grew several times stronger than before, even more powerful than before.
"Why? And how am I… here?" I asked.
"Two of my creations brought you here desperately asking for help, despite going against their own protocol as I had made them… You've changed her a lot… I like that. I think you're an interesting one…" she said.
"You're really… the true… venerable?" I asked.
She smiled back.
"It is time for you to wake up, Drake." She said.
…
Ah!
I woke up.
I opened my eyes and found myself in my bed, just the same bed I went to sleep yesterday with Benladann.
Nothing bad had happened. I was still alive…
And my soul felt even stronger than before.
But what happened just now…
It was all real, of course.
The fight against Black, and the destruction of the Dreamscape.
And the damage of my soul…
The Venerable… who offered a mystical drink that healed my soul and made it even stronger than before…
FLASH!
