Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 41 - The Ticking Of A Clock

Chapter 41 - The Ticking Of A Clock

Toby rushes towards Prince Charming, a red sword appearing in his hand as he clashes with Charming's blade. The terror charged Dream Sword pushes Prince Charming back, and Toby just continues to swing, pushing back Charming with each ferocious strike.

The Terror Charge skill makes Toby act different, he is wilder, scarier, more menacing. This new Toby completely takes Charming by surprise, and the Prince is struggling to hold him back.

Prince Charming: He's more aggressive. (Charming notes as he continues to deflect Toby's attacks)... I love it! (Charming thought with a smile, before finally responding to Toby's attacks)

Charming's swings get a whole lot faster, but Toby was keeping up with him, their swords ringing against each other in an epic stalemate of slashes.

Browny looks on at Toby, a hint of worry in his eye. But Toby was still holding his own against the Medium Grade Dream Being, and seeing this, made Browny happy.

Noble Steed: Witness his last moments, Bear! Because Charming will be the victor in this fight! (Noble tells Browny from beneath his bulk)

Browny: My Master has already won this fight. You just don't know it yet. (Browny responds with total confidence in his words)

Toby and Charming were still clashing swords, doing so at insane speeds. The Terror Charge skill makes Toby much stronger, and his skills more powerful, and with so much power at his disposal, the young Dreamer is determined to win this fight.

Prince Charming: His attacks are slowly down. (Charming notices)... Now is my chance to... (Charming couldn't even finish this thought, before Toby yelled)

Toby Robinson: Psych! (Toby yelled as he summoned his Terror charged Dream Shield, and then slammed it against Charming's chest)

The red shield releases a pulse of energy which pushes Charming back, stunning him briefly. Toby then threw his sword at Charming, doing so with all his might.

Prince Charming barely manages to deflect the flying sword, but then he saw Toby running towards him, a smile growing larger on his face with each step he took.

Toby Robinson: You may be a master with a sword, but I've watched a whole lot of sword fighting movies! (Toby boasts confidently)... Now have at thee! (Toby yells as he slams his sword against Charming's blade, almost pushing the prince to the ground)

Charming's body was now bent back slightly, with Toby pushing to bring him down even lower. Charming is now in an uncomfortable position, and this is the chance Toby was hoping for.

Prince Charming: This is a bad position to be in. (Charming notes as he continues to struggle)

Toby Robinson: You lose, Charming! (Toby bellows as his eyes begin to burn red with energy)... Dream Bea... (Toby was about to yell, but something stops him)

Prince Charming: Stooooooop!!!! (Charming yells, startling Toby enough to stop him from firing the Dream Beam)... I surrender!... You have won. (Charming tells him)

Toby Robinson: Huh... Wait, What?! Seriously?! (Toby asks in shock)

Prince Charming: Seriously. (Charming responds)

Toby Robinson: Is this some kind of trick? (Toby asks, stepping back a little)

Prince Charming: No tricks. No deception. Only truth. (Charming assured)

Toby Robinson: Oh, okay... Wow, I have no idea what to do now. (Toby admits)

[Terror Charge Deactivated]

Prince Charming: Toby Robinson, you have bested me in battle. It would be my honour, to be your sword... If you would have me? (Charming asks as he kneels before Toby, shocking the young man)

[You Have Earned The Respect Of A Dream Being]

[Taming Process Will Now Be Easier]

[Would You Like To Tame Him?]

Toby places a hand on Charming's shoulder, a little shocked by how everything played out, but still rolling with it anyway.

Toby Robinson: Tame! (Toby said, a little disappointment on his face)... I was just about to beat him, but then he surrenders! What kind of Knight is he?! (Toby thought to himself)

Prince Charming: Is something wrong, My Lord? (Charming asks, still on his knees)

Toby Robinson: Nothing's wrong, I was just thinking about something. You can get up now, Charming. (Toby tells him)

Prince Charming: Thank you, My Lord. (Charming said as he got up from his kneeling position)

Toby Robinson: Browny, let the horse go! (Toby tells the bear)

Browny: "Growl" (Browny sounded begrudgingly, before hesitantly getting off of Noble)

Noble gets up from the ground, and then trots towards Toby, kneeling before him as well.

Toby Robinson: What's going on? (Toby asks in confusion)

[You Have Earned The Respect Of A Dream Being]

[Taming Process Will Now Be Easier]

[Would You Like To Tame Him?]

Prince Charming: Please, My Lord. Accept Noble as well, he can be a valuable asset to our team. (Charming tells him)

Toby Robinson: Hmm, I was really saving my third slot for that dragon. But after this fight, I know that I'm not strong enough to take on a High Grade Dream Being. Besides, more slots will probably open up soon. So I guess it's okay for me to tame the horse. (Toby thought before he places a hand on Noble's head)... Tame! (Toby said)

Noble Steed: "Neigh!" (The horse sounded happily)

Prince Charming: He thanks you for your kindness. (Charming explains)

Browny: "Growl!" (Browny sounds as he approaches)

Prince Charming: And he expresses his disdain for my horse. (Charming explains again)

Toby Robinson: Wait, you can understand them?! (Toby asks in surprise)

Prince Charming: Of course... Can't you? (Charming asks)

Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) Only a little. (Toby says as he nervously rubs his head)

[You Have Defeated The Guardian Of This Domain]

[Would You Like To Absorb The Domain]

[Y/N]

Toby Robinson: Hmmm, Nah! (Toby said as he selects the No option from the screen)

Noble Steed: Why does he talk to himself? (Noble asks Browny)

Browny: I try not to think about it. (Browny responds)

[Congratulations, You Now Have Two Domains]

[Would You Like To Change The Name, Royal Castle]

[Y/N]

Toby Robinson: No. (Toby said as he selects the No option once again)

Prince Charming: Aha! I think I get it! You must be communicating with your goddess! (Charming said, trying to come up with an explanation as to why Toby was taking to himself, and touching the air with his fingers)

Toby Robinson: No, Charming. There is no goddess. I am just answering my System's questions, and trying to see if I can get more rewards or maybe even a new skill. (Toby explains, knowing that the Prince would most likely not get it)

Prince Charming: I don't get it. (Charming admits)

Toby Robinson: Just think of it as magic. And talking to myself is how I access it. (Toby explains simply)

Prince Charming: Oh, now I get it! Your magic is incredible, My Lord! (Charming tells him)

Toby Robinson: Why thank you. (Toby replies with a smile)

Noble Steed: I still don't get it. (Noble said)

Browny: Try not to think about it. (Browny tells him)

[The Royal Castle Is Damaged]

[Would You Like To Fix It]

[Y/N]

Toby Robinson: I can fix this place?... Alright, let's do it! (Toby says as he happily selects the Yes option from the screen, which is only visible to him)

Particles of energy begin to leave Toby's body in large quantities, swirling around the Domain beautifully. The lights merge with the destroyed castle, slowly restoring it back to it's former glory.

Prince Charming: Amazing, you are truly amazing, My Lord! Thank you for this! (Charming said with a look of absolute joy on his face)

[-205 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 388 Dream Points]

Toby Robinson: What the heck! Why is it so expensive?! I should have just left it the way it was! (Toby realised in shock)

Before the castle can even be fully reconstructed, the sound of ticking could be heard. Toby is surprised by the irritating noise, and looks up to see a giant clock, floating above their heads.

Toby Robinson: Isn't that... Oh no. (Toby said, realising what this meant)

Next: Red Armour.
