Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 40 - Duel Charming

Chapter 40 - Duel Charming

Toby Robinson: Dream Sword! (Toby said as he summoned his sword)... Dream Shield! (Toby said as he summoned his shield)... Ready when you are! (Toby confidently tells Charming)

Charming smiles as he unsheathes his steel sword, and then points it at Toby.

Prince Charming: You hold your weapons like an amateur, your stance is weak, so I could easily knock you off balance. You're nervous, telling me that you're not as prepared as you think you are. So I'll ask again, are you here to challenge me, Toby Robinson? (Charming asks again)

Toby Robinson: Yes I am! Now let's get on with it! (Toby replied boldly)

Prince Charming: (Chuckles) Your eyes, they tell me a story of a young man who has fought his fair share of battles. And is trying his very best to better himself... But my eyes, will tell you a different story, a story of a Warrior, who has been shaped by war, and hardened by battle! He trains, fights, and bleeds every single day to get stronger, not for some selfish reason, but to protect what he holds dear... Now Toby Robinson, who do you think would win between the two? (Charming asks)

Toby Robinson: The one that is me! (Toby responds as he ran towards Prince Charming, his sword and shield at the ready)

Prince Charming: It is as I thought... You are not ready to face me. (Charming quietly says)... I will make your defeat swift! (Charming said before he sped forward, moving at blinding speeds)

Toby saw Charming become a blur, and instinctively raised his shield, barely managing to block the powerful sword strike from the prince.

Toby Robinson: He's crazy fast! (Toby notes as he struggles to not be pushed back)

Prince Charming: I'm surprised you reacted to that. You're not as weak as I thought! (Charming said before he kicks Toby in the stomach, launching him back)

Toby manages to land of his feet, but blue blood escapes from his mouth as he struggles to stay on his feet.

[-23HP]

[77/100HP]

Toby Robinson: Ow. (Toby said before he spits out the rest of the blue blood in his mouth)

Prince Charming: Hope you're ready for me. Because here I come! (Charming said before he sped forward again, his sword now ready to do damage)

Toby manages to block the attack from Charming once again, but the prince just continues to swing his sword, pushing Toby back with each powerful strike.

Browny looks on worriedly, contemplating whether or not to interfere in this fight. It is not until Charming punches Toby in the face, that Browny finally decides to act.

Browny rushes forward, looking to aid his Master in battle. But a strong figure blocks Browny's path, and it was the Noble Steed of Prince Charming.

Browny: Out of my way you stupid horse! (Browny growls in anger)

Noble Steed: Make me you one eyed fool! (The horse snorts, responding to Browny's insult)

The two Beasts lash out at each other, with Browny trying to tear off Noble's flesh with his claws, and Noble trying to stomp on Browny's head with his hooves.

While the two animals are fighting, Toby was still defending against Charming's attacks, doing so very poorly.

[-5HP]

[-10HP]

[-3HP]

[47/100HP]

Toby Robinson: I can't keep this up. I can see his movements, but that's all... Am I going to lose? (Toby contemplates in fear)

Browny lashes out with his claws, the slash drawing blue blood from Noble's chest. The horse angrily rears up, striking Browny on the head with it's front hooves. Browny falls to the ground, and once there Noble rears up again, stomping down on Browny with his powerful front legs.

[Browny Has Been Injured]

Toby Robinson: No! (Toby said before he turns away from his fight, paying for it with a boot to the face)

Prince Charming: Keep your eye on your opponent, I could have killed you just now. (Charming tells Toby as he points at him with his sword)

[-5HP]

[42/100HP]

Toby Robinson: Thanks for restraining yourself. (Toby replied as he got up from the ground)

Prince Charming: You were worried about your friend, right? But you don't have to worry. Noble will not end his life. (Charming assured)

Toby Robinson: Oh, I'm not worried about him. I was worried about your horse. (Toby tells him with a smile)

[Browny Has Activated His Terror Charge]

Browny's fur burns with red energy as he got up from the ground, growling at Noble menacingly.

Browny: You'll pay for that. (Browny snarls as the white horse)

Noble Steed: Don't make me laugh! (The horse responds as it rears up again, trying to stomp on Browny once again)

Brown lashes out with his now energized claws, easily knocking Noble to the ground. Browny then stands up on his hind legs, stomping down on Noble with his powerful paws, effectively pinning the horse to the ground.

Charming is shocked by the sight, and this gave Toby the chance to rush towards him undetected, preparing and attack. By the time Charming notices Toby's approach, the young Dreamer is already before him, his eyes burning bright with energy.

Toby Robinson: Dream Beam! (Toby shouts as he blasted Charming with his Dream Beam, aiming straight at his head)

[Dream Beam Activated]

[-39 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 272 Dream Points]

The blast of energy rockets towards Charming's head, but he manages to dodge the attack, doing so by the skin of his teeth. Charming them moves quickly, reaching Toby and grabbing him by the neck, lifting him off the ground. With his head forcibly raised, the Dream Beams hit nothing but air, doing no harm to Charming whatsoever.

Prince Charming: I must say that you surprised me, I had no idea you could do that. (Charming tells Toby with a smile, the power of the Dream Beam soon fading from his eyes)

Toby struggles to bring his head down, trying to aim for another blast of his Dream Beam. But with his hand firmly around Toby's neck, Charming simply tosses him aside, launching Toby's body into the ruins of the Royal Castle.

[-6HP]

[36/100HP]

Browny is angered by this, and charges towards Prince Charming, ready to face him in battle. But then Browny suddenly stops, his gaze fixed on someone other than Charming.

Browny was looking at Toby Robinson, who is already back on his feet. His hand was raised, a sign telling Browny to stay back.

Toby Robinson: It's okay, Browny! I've got this remember! (Toby said confidently, with blue blood dripping down his forehead)

Prince Charming: Look at you, you can barely even stand. What makes you think you can still win this fight? (Charming asks, genuinely intrigued)

Toby Robinson: I can't believe I finally get to say this. (Toby thought with an inward smile)... I thought I was strong enough to defeat you, but I was mistaken! Now that I know how strong you are, I'm done holding back! (Toby said with a bold smile)

Prince Charming: Prove it, Toby! Prove your words to me! (Charming demands as he points his sword at Toby, smiling in anticipation)

Toby Robinson: First of all... Heal! (Toby said, using this healing abilities)

[-64 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 208 Dream Points]

[100/100HP]

[Health Restored]

Prince Charming: What sorcerery is this? (Charming asks as he watches Toby heal from his injuries in seconds)

Toby Robinson: Now, Tamed Empowerment! Activate Terror Charge! (Toby yells as he activates the skill, unleashing a pulse of red energy from his body, which pushes everything back)

[Terror Charge Activated]

Toby's body is now burning with the red glow of Terror energy, making him look very menacing. Charming is shocked by the sudden display of power, but he remains calm.

Toby Robinson: This power messes with my head a little, so I might not be able to control myself. (Toby said before his demeanor suddenly changes, becoming ominous in nature)... You're going down, Prince Charming! Hard! (Toby bellows before he speeding towards Prince Charming, a menacing look now on his face)
