Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 10 - The King Of The Swarm

Chapter 10 - The King Of The Swarm

[Name: The King Of The Swarm]

[Race: Dream Being]

[Level: Normal Grade Dream Being]

[Skills: Strength Of A Swarm]

Toby Robinson: I think maybe we should run now. (Toby said as he took a couple steps back)

The swarm of large cockroaches have all merged together to form a gigantic humanoid monster, which is about eight feet tall. Browny doesn't show any fear and instantly charges at the insectoid creature.

Toby Robinson: Really?! (Toby said as he watches Browny fight the King of the swarm)

[You Have Gained 50 Dream Points From Killing Multiple Eews]

[50/100 Dream Points]

[20/100 Secondary Dream Points]

Toby Robinson: Nice! Maybe we can win this fight afterall. (Toby said with a smile)

Browny is using his glowing red claws to lash out at the king, but it's exoskeleton proves to be tough, tanking all of Browny's attacks.

Toby Robinson: Browny, get out of the way! I'm blasting this thing ! (Toby yells out a warning)

But before Browny could even attempt to get out of the way, he is grabbed by the King. The powerful hands of the creature lifting the bear off the ground and throwing him at of one the buildings, destroying the house once Browny crashes into it.

Toby Robinson: You'll pay for that! (Toby says as his eyes begin to burn, building up power for an attack)... Dream Beam! (Toby yells before he fires the dream beams from his eyes)

The blue beams strike the king with it's immense power, pushing it back with incredible force. Toby takes a couple steps forward while firing the beams, pushing the creature back even further.

[-49 Dream Points]

[1/100 Dream Points]

The power soon begins to dwindle and then stops, Toby's eyes turning back to normal. But the attack has done little to harm the large creature, it is barely even fazed.

Toby Robinson: My strongest attack, did nothing... This is the power of a normal grade dream being. (Toby realises in fear)

The King of the swarm wasn't physically hurt by the attack, but the beams left it in a dazed state, making it stagger in a disoriented manner.

Toby Robinson: Oh I think it's stunned, this might be a chance for me to attack. I can still win this! (Toby thought as he ran forward, his sword ready to do damage)

Toby stabs the king in the stomach with his dream sword, but the blade barely goes through it's tough exoskeleton. Toby pushes forward as hard as he can, but still the sword refuses to go deeper into the creature's gut.

Which is bad for Toby because the king was now out of it's daze, and moves to strike with it's massive hand. Toby tries to block the attack with his sword, but that proves to be a bad decision, because the sword shatters upon impact with the massive fist.

Toby is pushed back by the force of the blow, bouncing off the ground repeatedly before coming to a painful stop.

[-5Hp]

[95/100Hp]

Toby Robinson: Ow. (Toby groans in pain, trying to lift his aching body off the ground)

The King of the swarm begins to move forward, stomping on the ground with it's heavy footsteps. But then Browny breaks out of the rubble that was holding him, and then charges towards the king furiously, his fur burning red with energy.

Browny easily tackles the monster, sending it's body to the ground with aggressive force. Browny then bites down on it's arm, trying to gnaw it off it's body.

The king doesn't appear to be in pain from the crushing bite, and just gets up from the ground, lifting the large bear in the process. Browny was now being held up over the king's head, and it looks like the monster was about to slam the bear down on the ground.

Toby Robinson: Hope this works! (Toby thought as he ran forward, stabbing the king in the chest with his newly summoned dream sword)

[Dream Sword Activated]

[-9 Secondary Dream Points]

[11/100 Secondary Dream Points]

Once again the sword barely penetrates the tough exoskeleton of the king, but that doesn't matter right now, because Toby has a possible solution to this problem.

Toby strikes the sword with his dream shield, producing a force of energy that pushes the sword deeper into the king's chest. The monster shrieks in pain for the first time, before dropping the massive body of Browny on Toby.

Toby Robinson: Crap! (Toby says before raising his shield, not knowing if it will help but still trying anyway)

The massive bear lands like a bag of bricks, thankfully though the dream shield does what it's supposed to do, and produces a force that pushes Browny back slightly, enough to keep him from crushing the young dreamer.

Toby Robinson: You okay dude? (Toby asks him)

"Loud Growl!!!" (Browny responded in anger, his fur still burning red as he lifted himself up)

Toby Robinson: Good, then let's finish this! (Toby yells as charges towards the king, but this time Browny is backing him up)

The monster seems to be in pain, and is trying to pull the sword out of it's chest, but it's in there quite deep.

Toby Robinson: Dream Sword! (Toby says as he summons another dream sword)

[Dream Sword Activated]

[-8 Secondary Dream Points]

[3/100 Secondary Dream Points]

Toby Robinson: Glad that worked! (Toby says with a smile, aiming to throw this newly acquired sword)

Toby throws the sword with all the strength he could muster, and the weapon actually manages to stab the monster in the stomach, but to be honest it wasn't very deep.

Toby wasn't an expert when it came to throwing swords, so of course the sword wasn't in there properly, in fact it looks like it could fall off at any moment. But this position was perfect for the teenager, who never expected to hit the large creature in the first place.

Toby Robinson: Here I come! (Toby yells as he jumps forward, using his shield to strike the sword with all his might)

Upon impact with the sword the shield once again produces a force, which drives the blade deeper into the creature's stomach. The king roars in pain, but before it could lash out in anger, Browny steps in, pouncing on top of the monster and then going berserk.

"Roooaaar!!!" (Browny roars as he lashes out, tearing apart the exoskeleton with his energized claws)

The King of the swarm took a severe beating from Browny, but just as the bear is about to land the finishing blow. He suddenly stops, and then turns to face Toby, a gentle look in it's eye.

Toby Robinson: Does he want me to tame him or something? (Toby thought to himself, trying to figure out what Browny wants him to do)... It does make sense, I'm the Dreamer afterall, I'm supposed to decide how we end our fights, that is my responsibility. (Toby contemplated before finally making up his mind, deciding on what to do now)... Thanks Browny. (Toby says as he places a hand on Browny's head, and begins to rub his soft fur)

"Growl" (Browny sounded in annoyance, wanting him to get this over with already)

Toby Robinson: Okay, Okay! I'm doing it! (Toby says as he walks towards the monster's body)

[Congratulations, You Have Defeated The King Of The Swarm, A Normal Grade Dream Being]

[Would You Like To Tame Him?]

Toby seriously thought about taming this thing, and after carefully considering that option, he decided against it. He grabs one of his swords that was dislodged by Browny's attacks, and then uses it to stab the king one last time.

The King of the swarm drew a final breath, before it's body is broken down into tiny particles of light, entering Toby and Browny's bodies.

Toby Robinson: Now I know what you're thinking. I could have tamed and added him to the team... But I have a feeling that Prince Charming is a lot stronger than the King, and we'll need all the power we can get if we want to defeat him, and add him to our team. (Toby explains with a smile, before receiving a message from the system)
