A vision of a landscape appeared before Remuel. He woke up in the middle of the plains and quickly checked for his weapons. The scythe that he trusted his life so much with appeared on his hand, fully functional and working well. He then quickly adjusted his line of sight to be completely on guard. He looked around to see if there were any people around the area, focusing himself completely on detection of life signs. However, he was unable to feel such target around him. He turned his gaze back to the front and noticed that a path was formed before he even knew it. He was still suspicious, but he decided to follow that path laid out for him. He remained silent as he walked down the path.
In his mind, he was clearly thinking about the atmosphere slowly turning tenser than it normally was. "This is definitely weird, but I have to get to the bottom of what just happened. Serkyrio isn't around to help after all." Remuel continued walking forward while keeping complete vigilance over the area.
"This is endless..." Remuel had already been walking for a while, his vigilance was starting to dull down as he sees no changes to the surroundings around him. The path simply continued on the flat grassy world. But since he was starting to think that this could potentially be an experiment or a prank. However, the second he lowered his vigilance and sighed to take a short break, he detected multiple signs of attack magic inbound toward his position. "!!!" He quickly recovered his vigilance and jumped off from the location. He then got a good look for how many burning tridents landed on his former position. "Dang! Draxus and Arlesk will have trouble on that! [Amalgam of Secrets]! [Bring for-]!" Remuel began chanting for identification of the enemy, but he was interrupted as the [Amalgam of Destiny] disappeared all of a sudden. "[Soul of Greed]! [Bring forth the secret of what I face]!" Remuel quickly understood that somebody had stolen his valued [Amalgam of Destiny]. "Tch!" He looked around while slowly falling down to locate his target. To which he found a man with gaudy clothing reading the information about his abilities. "Annoying runt! [Shrouded Soul]! [Fog of Pestilence]!" Remuel then quickly disappeared into the green fog he quickly generated in a wide area. This caused the gaudy-looking man to start groaning in agony due to poison and contamination after breathing in the fog. [Amalgam of Destiny] was disabled which prevented him from collecting further information about his abilities. Remuel then appeared behind the gaudy man and sliced him in half with his scythe. He stole the [Amalgam of Destiny] back to his own hands but he noticed a wide smile coming from the upper half of the gaudy man. "Too bad!" The gaudy man dispersed into particles which seemed like he was a little too weak for someone like Remuel. "Tch, seems like he managed to bring information to some group. Was it a hero? Or a council?" Remuel quickly tried the process of elimination as he dispelled the fog. Another path unfolded right in front of him, prompting him to continue walking. He decided to not follow the antics for the time being. But that was something he ended up regretting. That's because another attack inbound to his position from all directions. "Tch!" Clicking his tongue once again, he activated [Amalgam of Bible] and started flying around. "[Soul of Envy]! [To be accepted, one must not fly]!" With a quick suggestion of words, his wings instantly disappeared. Remuel tried to activate it once again but he was only able to bring out the wings. However, he was unable to fly with it. "He was then attacked quickly by a young man with eyes burning in envy." He was holding two short swords and started attacking Remuel mercilessly.
Multiple clashes with Remuel blocking all attacks with ease. Remuel made counterattacks which landed clean hits on the young man. "Guh!!!" There was frustration and anger, which made Remuel think that he's not too strong. But suddenly, a sinister smile was displayed the closer the enemy was to death. The young man struck from multiple sides as burning tridents appeared all around them, aiming for Remuel. "So you're the one sending those dangerous attacks...?" Being asked by such a question, the young man did nothing but smile at Remuel. He tried to distance himself so that the tridents will impale him completely. However, Remuel rushed in to quickly get rid of him, thinking that the spells will disappear if he dies. The young man tried to block the attack but Remuel's scythe was upgraded way too many times for it to be blocked by two swords. "Too bad you're only walking in a dream." Remuel quickly raised his brow as he heard the young man's last words before it disappeared into particles. "Dream magic huh, guess that's how you wanna play it huh?" He looked around and all the tridents still continued to attack, but since the [Soul of Envy] was no longer active, he was able to fly once more, dodging the hundreds of burning tridents that were summoned. But just as he flew up, he was suddenly attacked with a major chill up his spine. A vision of him suddenly getting pierced from the back made him instantly activate the [Amalgam of Belial] for massive boost of speed, effectively dodging a hand that came out of a portal. That hand was coated in draconic scales and sharp nails that could potentially pierce even metal. That portal slowly expanded until a person came out of the portal. The young man had large draconic wings being flaunted from his back, He then had traits of certain demonkin all over his body. From Vampire Lords, Draconians, the strength of orcs, horns of the devil, and many other things. Despite such an amalgamation, he still retained the looks of a handsome face which made Remuel want to punch to bits.
"Who are you?" Remuel secretly used the [Amalgam of Secrets] to identify his opponent and the kinds of abilities the person facing him have. "Greetings, you must be Remuel Baphomet who was summoned into my [Nightmare Fantasia]. One of the lords I have brought here have given me a great deal of information about you." Remuel clicked his tongue as if cursing the gaudy-looking man for taking his information casually. "So, the fuck do you want?" Remuel quickly went straight to business as if not wasting any time. "Quite hasty, but do hear me out fellow demon, do you wish to join my cause, to bring forth chaos and pain towards the continent in the center?" Remuel's eyes narrowed down as he finally managed to collect enough information in secret. "Maybe I should cancel it after all." The young man suddenly activated his magic which summoned thousands of burning tridents all over the area both ground and air. All of them were aimed directly at Remuel. "You were collecting information about me after all, you have been using the [Amalgam of Secrets] frantically. Oh well, [Nightmare Fantasia] [All will be forgotten upon exit]." With a quick chant, Remuel sighed as he was completely unable to bring back any information to report to Serkyrio. "Now, at least experience how you will lose to me in a real battle. [Befall]!" All the tridents started converging into Remuel's position at the command of the devil in front of him. "[Fog of Death]!" Black mist spread out completely over the entire area, covering both Remuel and the devil. All tridents that were thrown towards him completely missed as he disappeared. Remuel then quickly reappeared behind the devil and attempted to slash him. But the devil easily avoided it by creating a portal for Remuel's trajectory to change. "Tch!" Remuel quickly disappeared into the fog once more and appeared behind the devil once more. But instead of launching a slash immediately, he activated a magic for anti-dodging. "[Lockdown]!" The devil was instantly chained by dark chains which completely prevented any movement. He was then sliced in half. "As expected, to really win against you, we'll have to fight were I'm not weakened. Time to wake up from your dream." The devil's words caused Remuel to feel uncomfortable as his vision quickly distorted and darkened completely.
The next thing he knew, he woke up uncomfortably in his bed. He was wondering why he felt completely tired in his waking state as if he used way too many abilities in succession. But he simply shrugged it off and decided that he should meet Serkyrio about the details of the dungeon in Luventrion.
