Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 19 - Butter Me Up

Chapter 19 - Butter Me Up

Toby and Browny were now in a very strange place. The landscape was made of butter, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

Toby Robinson: Is this butter? (Toby asked as he summoned his sword, using it to stab into the buttery ground)... Mmhmm, that's butter alright. (Toby said after tasting the butter off the sword)

Browny tried to move forward, but although the ground seemed solid, it was extremely slippery.

Browny: "Huff!" (Browny sounded as he struggled to maintain his balance on the slippery ground)

Toby Robinson: Woah! Take it easy! (Toby yelled as he held onto Browny's fur, in order not the fall off his back)

Browny: "Huff" (Browny sounded after he finally maintained his balance)

Toby Robinson: I don't like it too, buddy. Let's get out of here. (Toby requested)

Browny: "Soft Growl" (Browny sounded as he tried to move forward, but he doesn't move)

Toby Robinson: What's wrong, why aren't you moving? (Toby said as he checked on the legs of Browny)

Browny's legs had started to sink into the butter, making him unable to move from where he stood.

Toby Robinson: Okay that's bad. Can't you force your way out? (Toby asked the one eyed bear)

Browny: "Roar!" (Browny roared as his fur turned red, and then he struggled fiercely to escape from the sinking butter)... Growl! (Browny sounded after his failed attempt to escape from the butter, which had sunken him in deeper)

Toby Robinson: Okay okay, I'll think of something. Uhhhhhhh. (Toby sounded as he searched for a way to get Browny out of the sinking butter)... Okay I've got nothing. (Toby admitted after much consideration)

Browny: Growl! (Browny sounded in anger)

Toby Robinson: Don't worry I'll figure something out... (Chuckles) It's a good thing we're not being attacked right? (Toby asked with a smile)

Just then something could be seen coming from the distance. Toby took a closer look, realising that it was actually an army, an army of ants.

[You Have Encountered Multiple Partial Dream Beings]

[Name: Butter Ant]

[Race: Partial Dream Being]

[Level: Very Low Grade Dream Being]

[Skills: Power Bite]

Toby Robinson: Huh? What do you know, it is bad to say stuff like that. (Toby said with a nervous smile)

********

Toby and Browny are being surrounded by a swarm of giant black ants, which brought back memories of when they fought the Eews. But this time Browny is stuck in butter, and can't help Toby at all against the swarm of ants.

Toby Robinson: Roar! (Browny sounded in pain, for he was being bitten by the Butter Ants)

Toby Robinson: Don't worry buddy!... (Toby assured as he sliced the ants off of Browny's body)... I've got this! (Toby said as he continued to fight off the ants)

Toby Robinson: This is so not worth the effort... We need to get out of here. (Toby realised)... But how? (Toby thought while still fighting off the ants)

The Butter Ants were easy to kill and bountiful in number, but the problem was that Toby couldn't get off the back of Browny, and Browny couldn't get off the ground. Sooner or later Browny would sink into the buttery ground, and then it would be Toby's turn to suffer the same fate.

Toby Robinson: Ow!!! Get off me! (Toby yelled as he struck the ants that were biting his legs, killing them instantly)... Okay that's it! Dream Shield! (Toby yelled as he summoned his shield)

[Browny Has Been Injured]

Toby Robinson: Get away from my Bear! (Toby yelled as he slammed the shield on the back of Browny, producing a shockwave that pushes all the ants back)... I hope this works. (Toby said as he stood atop his shield while still on Browny's back)

The Butter Ants were coming back for seconds, meaning it was time for Toby to set his crazy plan in motion.

Toby Robinson: Tamed Holding! (Toby said as he touched Browny's body)

[Tamed Holding Activated]

Browny's body explodes into a million particles of light, which all enter Toby's body. With his mound gone Toby fell to the buttery ground, but he already had his shied below him to land on.

The shield didn't sink into the butter, rather it started to slide forward, taking Toby along for the ride. Toby used his shield to surf on the dunes of butter, moving past all the ants at incredible speeds.

Toby Robinson: Woah, woah! (Toby sounded as he struggled to maintain his balance on his shield surf board)

The Butter Ants were following Toby, but he was now moving at a speed that they couldn't keep up with, and the teenager soon lost them.

Toby Robinson: This is kinda fun, maybe I should try surfing one of these days. (Toby thought with a smile)... But I'll have to get out of here first... Release! (Toby yelled as he stretched out his hand)

[Tamed Holding Deactivated]

Browny immediately rematerializes in front of Toby, and the teenager then jumped off his surf shield to land right on top of the bear's back.

Toby Robinson: Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! (Toby hurried the bear)

[Browny Has Activated His Terror Charge]

Browny's fur begins to glow red, for he was boosting himself up with Terror Energy. With the boost in strength Browny ran forward, not letting his paws sink into the butter again.

The landscape soon begins to change, meaning that they would soon leave this Domain, and enter another. But just then a swarm of ants could be seen off in the distance, they were quickening their pace, trying to catch up to them. But there was no possible way they could reach Toby and Browny before they left this Domain.

Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) Nice! (Toby smiled as he saw a chance to destroy a huge number of the ants)... Pay back time! (Toby said as his eyes lit up with blue energy)

[Dream Beam Activated]

[56 Secondary Dream Points]

Toby then fired the Dream Beam from his eyes, decimating scores of ants in the process.
