Toby rushes forward in a blur of motion, the dream sword appearing in his hand before he clashes with Charming's blade.
The sheer force of the impact pushes the prince back, and the young dreamer just continues to swing his sword, driving back his opponent with each ferocious strike.
The terror charge skill has completely changed Toby's fighting style. He's more aggressive, unpredictable, and unbelievably reckless. This sudden change has taken Charming by surprise, and the prince is struggling to keep him at bay.
Prince Charming: His attacks hit harder, but lack planning and precision. (Charming notes, his sword skillfully deflecting Toby's slashes)... This power is nothing to worry about. (Charming smiles, finally deciding to take this fight seriously)
Charming swings his sword on a whole new level of speed, but remarkably Toby is keeping up with him. Their swords ringing against each other in an epic stalemate of slashes.
Browny watches the fight attentively, a look of worry in his good eye. But Toby is still holding his own against the medium grade dream being, and seeing this makes the bear happy.
Noble: You think you can knock me out without facing the consequences, well think again! Once Charming defeats that kid, you'll be next I promise you! (Noble yells from beneath Browny's bulk, unable to get back up)
Browny: I'm glad I came back to hold this stupid horse, he might have complicated things. (Browny thought, staring down at the white horse)... Your guy has already lost this fight, you just don't know it yet. (Browny tells Noble with pure confidence in his words)
Toby and Charming are still clashing swords, doing so at insane speeds. The terror charge skill makes Toby much stronger, and his skills are also more powerful.
With so much power at his disposal, the young dreamer is determined to win this fight.
Prince Charming: His attacks are slowing down, he must be getting tired. (Charming notices, thinking this will give him the advantage)... Now's my chance to... (Charming couldn't even finish this train of thought before Toby yelled out)
Toby Robinson: Psych! (Toby yells as he summons his dream shield, slamming it against Charming's armoured chest)
A strong pulse of energy is released from the shield, pushing Charming back and stunning him briefly. Toby then uses his enhanced strength to throw his dream sword, looking to hit something important.
Charming barely manages to deflect the flying sword, and then sees Toby running towards him. The smile on his face widening with each step he took.
Toby Robinson: You may be a master with a sword, but I've watched a whole lot of anime! (Toby boasts before leaping into the air, raising the shield above his head)... Have at thee! (Toby yells before slamming the shield against Charming's blade, the force of the impact and the resulting pulse of energy, cratering the very ground Charming stood on, unleashing a massive shockwave)
Charming's body is now bent at an uncomfortable position, with Toby still pushing to bring him down even lower. Charming struggles to hold back the young dreamer, his attack already taking it's toll.
Prince Charming: This is a terrible position, I can't regain my footing. (Charming notes as he continues to struggle, the strain visible on his face)
Toby Robinson: You lose, Charming! (Toby growls, his eyes begining to burn red with terror energy)... Dream Be... (Toby is about to fire his terror charged dream beams, but something stops that from happening)
Prince Charming: Stooooooop!!!! (Charming yells out, startling Toby enough to stop him from firing the dream beam)... I surrender, you win. (Charming admits defeat)
Toby Robinson: Huh? Wait, What?! Are you serious?! (Toby asks in shock)
Prince Charming: I'm serious. (Charming assures him)
Toby Robinson: Is this some kind of trick? (Toby asks, stepping back but keeping his guard up)
Prince Charming: No tricks, no deception. Only truth. (Charming gives his word)
Toby gives this some thought, trying to figure out if Charming is speaking the truth, or just trying to deceive him. But the prince does seem sincere, and Toby is tempted to believe him.
Toby Robinson: (Sighs) I can't believe I'm saying this, but I believe you. And that's why, I'm accepting your surrender. (The young dreamer tells him before dropping his shield to the ground)... Deactivate, Terror Charge. (Toby says as he relinquishes the power, returning to his normal state)
Charming is completely shocked by this incredible display of trust and respect. Being so young, yet having such strength, self control, and maturity, is truly an impressive thing.
[Terror Charge Deactivated]
Prince Charming: Toby Robinson, you have bested me in battle. It would be my honour, to serve as your sword. If you would have me? (Charming asks, kneeling before the young man, which honestly shocks him)
[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, still surprised by how everything played out, but just deciding to roll with it.
Toby Robinson: Tame! (Toby said as he begins the taming process)... I was just about to beat him, but then he surrenders! What kind of knight is he?! (Toby thought to himself, a little disappointed with this outcome)

Prince Charming: Is something wrong, My Lord? (Charming asks, still on a knee)
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 before getting up from his kneeling position)... It seems he has accepted me, now all that remains is Noble. (Charming thought with a smile)
Toby Robinson: Browny, please let go of the horse. (Toby tells the bear)
"Growl" (Browny sounded begrudgingly, before getting off Noble's body)
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: Would you be willing to accept Noble as well, he can be a valuable asset to you. (Charming assures him)
Toby Robinson: Hmm, I was gonna save my third slot for that dragon. But after this fight, I know 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 contemplated, before placing a hand on Noble's head)... Tame! (Toby decided to tame Noble as well)

"Neigh!" (Noble sounded happily, getting very excited)
Prince Charming: What he's trying to say is, he appreciates your generosity and thanks you for your kindness. And so do I. (Charming easily translated Noble's words, showing his appreciation as well)
"Growl!" (Browny sounded as he approached, keeping his eye on Noble)
Prince Charming: I promise you that Noble will be on his best behavior, there's no need for threats. (Charming tells Browny, trying to quell his anger towards Noble)
Toby Robinson: Wait a minute, you can understand them?! (Toby asks in surprise)
Prince Charming: Of course... Can't you? (Charming asks, surprised that this is not the case)
Toby Robinson: (Chuckles) Only a little. (Toby smiles while nervously rubbing his head)
[You Have Defeated The Guardian Of This Domain]
[Would You Like To Absorb The Domain]
[Y/N]
Toby thinks about this for a bit, considering the option that will no doubt increase the size of the Grassland. But then he decides not to do it.
Toby Robinson: Nah! (Toby said as he selected the No option from the screen)... I like the idea of having two domains. (Toby says with a smile, accidentally saying these words outloud)
"Why does he poke the air with his fingers, and talk to himself? (Noble asks Browny)
"I try not to question it." (Browny responded, completely nonchalant)
[Congratulations, You Now Have Two Domains]
[Would You Like To Change The Name, Royal Castle]
[Y/N]
Toby Robinson: No. (Toby said as he selected the No option once again)
Prince Charming: I think I understand what's going on! You must be communicating with your goddess, a higher being that grants you your power! (Charming tells him, thinking he has figured out why Toby was acting this way, which is honestly weird from an outside perspective)
Toby Robinson: That doesn't make any sense. There's no goddess, I'm just answering my system's questions, and trying to see if I can get more rewards or maybe even a new skill. (Toby explains to him, knowing Charming would most likely not understand the truth anyway)
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 praises him)
Toby Robinson: Why thank you. (Toby replies with a smile)
" I still don't get it." (Noble admits)
"Try not to think about it. It gets easier" (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 said before he happily selected the Yes option from the screen, which is only visible to him)
Particles of dream energy begins to leave the young dreamer's body, swirling around him in a beautiful and mesmerizing sequence. The particles then move on to merge with the ruins of the royal castle, slowly restoring it back to it's former glory.
Prince Charming: Amazing, you're truly amazing, My Lord! Thank you for this! (Charming said with a look of pure joy on his face, waiting with bated breath for his castle to be restored)
[-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 shouts in his head, instantly regretting his decision)
Before the castle can even be fully reconstructed, the steady sound of ticking fills the air. The sound instantly grabs the young dreamer's attention, making him look up to find the source.
Floating high above their heads is a giant mechanical clock, its gears responsible for the irritating noise.
Toby Robinson: Isn't that... Oh no. (Toby quickly remembers what this means, and it is not good)
Next: Red Armour.
