Chereads / I Inherited A Dream System / Chapter 51 - Status Quo (Part 2)

Chapter 51 - Status Quo (Part 2)

The Time Dragon Clockwork and the Giant Hornet Queen were engaged in deadly combat. The Queen uses her stinger multiple times, trying to use her deadly sting. But the serpent like body of the Time Dragon is flexible, weaving and moving out of the way of the attacks. The Dragon then rushes forward quickly, trying to bite into the Queen's body, but she is also fast moving, and flies out of the way with ease.

Toby and his Dream Beings continue to watch from below, not knowing who will win, but really hoping that it would be the dragon.

Toby Robinson: I wish I had brought some popcorn, this is so entertaining! (Toby remarks, loving the epic fight)

Prince Charming: What is popcorn? No nevermind that, shouldn't we be helping the dragon?! (Charming asks)

Toby Robinson: I need to be ready to hold him once the fight is over. We both know that once Clockwork wins, we'll be his next targets. (Toby explains)

Prince Charming: (Sighs) True... He really does hate you afterall. (Charming admits)

Toby Robinson: I know, and that's why I'm being careful. (Toby explains)

Prince Charming: But what makes you so sure that the dragon will win this fight. That bug creature seems pretty formidable. (Charming tells him)

Toby Robinson: Tell me this, Charming. In a fight between a bug and a dragon, who do you think will win? (Toby asks with a smirk)

Just after Toby said those words, the dragon suddenly opens it's massive jaws, and lightning begins to gather within it.

[Clockwork Has Activated His Lightning Breath]

In a flash of light the dragon spits out a great blast of lightning from it's mouth. The Hornet Queen tries to move out of the way, but she isn't fast enough. The lightning blast strikes the Queen in the air, electrocuting her in a painful display of power.

The Queen's body goes limp as it begins to fall to the ground, but it doesn't get far before the dragon whacks it with it's tail, launching the body back into the tree, from whence it came.

The Dragon then turns around, glaring at Toby with it's yellow eyes. Lightning continues to spark out of it's mouth, revealing that it wasn't done yet.

Clockwork: You're next!!! (The dragon bellows before it fires another blast of lightning from it's mouth, this one aimed directly at Toby)

This blast moved so fast that Toby could not even avoid it, so instead he closes his eyes, waiting for the painful blast to strike him. But for some reason, it never happens.

Toby slowly opens his eyes, and sees Prince Charming standing before him, holding back the blast with a shield of steel. But the power of the attack is just too great, and what's worse is that Charming's shield and armour only worsens the shock going through his system, making him scream in agonizing pain.

[Prince Charming Has Been Greatly Injured]

Toby Robinson: Tamed Holding! (Toby yells as he quickly absorbs all of his Dream Beings, making them vanish into thin air)... Dream Shield! (Toby yells as he immediately summons his shield, using it to block the incoming blast of lightning, because with Charming now gone, Toby was the only one left in it's path)

The Dream Shield is destroyed almost instantly by the lightning blast, but the destruction of the shield is actually what saved Toby, because it released a powerful shockwave, which repelled most of the lightning blast, leaving Toby with only minor injuries.

[-15HP]

[85/100HP]

Toby Robinson: Ow. (Toby said as his body briefly sparks with electricity, but he was still okay)... System! Release Prince Charming, Noble and Browny! (Toby tells his System, and a few moments later, the three Dream Beings appear before him)

Prince Charming: (Groans) Are you... Okay, My Lord? (Charming asks, his body still in pain)

Toby Robinson: I should be the one asking you that question... Thank you for saving me, Charming. (Toby tells him)

Prince Charming: No need to thank me, My Lord. It is my duty to protect you. (Charming tells him weakly)

Toby Robinson: Well then, goodjob, Charming. (Toby tells him with a smile)... Alright everyone! Let's go home. (Toby tells them)

Toby helps Charming onto Browny's back, and then they prepare to leave the Great Nest Domain, for it was now starting to crumble.

[The Great Nest Domain Is Being Absorbed]

[The Grassland Domain Is Now Expanding]

Toby Robinson: Dream Door! (Toby said as he stretched out a hand)

[Dream Door Activated]

[-95 Dream Points]

[Dream Bank: 2754]

The Dream Door materializes before them, and after Toby opens the door, they all enter the swirling blue portal, heading for the location shown at the head of the door, which was the Grassland.

[The Great Nest Domain Has Been Absorbed]

[The Grassland Domain Has Now Expanded]

Entering the Grassland, everything seems normal in Toby's eyes, but the Grassland has changed quite a bit. It was still a vast landscape filled with lush green grass, but now tree saplings were now growing at several locations, accompanied by butterflies and other small insects.

These creatures were all Very Low Grade Dream Beings, and since they weren't causing any trouble, Toby had decided to leave them be. Besides, the butterflies and ladybugs make the place look nice.

Noble: Easy now, Bear. Place him down gently. (Noble tells Browny)

Browny: I know what I'm doing, Horse! (Browny growls before he places Charming down on the grass)

Toby was looking at a particular spot, and seems to have something on his mind. This is because he was checking the messages from the Dream System, but to his Dream Beings, he is just looking at nothing but air.

Prince Charming: Are you planning on going on another mission, My Lord? Because if you are, all I need is a few minutes to rest, and I will be more than ready to follow you! (Charming tells him, struggling to even sit up on the bed of grass)

Toby Robinson: Take it easy, Charming. I'm just checking something. (Toby tells him dismissively, too preoccupied to even turn back)

Prince Charming: Oh, okay then. I will try and rest a bit. (Charming says before laying back down to rest)

Toby Robinson: Sure. (Toby replies, still looking at the screen before him)

Toby Robinson: It took some time, but I'm finally at level eight. It's getting harder and harder to level up, I don't even think I would have made it this far without my Dream Beings supporting me... Even Clockwork. (Toby begrudgely said that last part)... But I still don't think I'm strong enough to beat that red armour guy. I saw what he can do, and I'm nowhere near that strong. Maybe that guy is just built different. (Toby thought to himself)... (Sighs) If anything can help me get stronger, it would be my skills. I wonder what new skills I unlocked, I hope it's something good... Skill Shop! (Toby said)

[Viewing Skill Shop]

[Dream Sharing: 100 Dream Points To Purchase]

[Dream Steal: 1000 Dream Points To Purchase (Free To Use)]

Toby Robinson: Free to use, eh? Interesting. (Toby said before tapping on the Dream Steal Skill, looking to get more information on it)

[Dream Steal: Gives the Dreamer the power to take the Dream energy of others, even when they're awake. But overdraining will put the subject at risk. Adverse effects may occur]

Toby Robinson: Oh man, this is amazing! It's almost like I can be a vampire, stealing the life force of others! But I can't become a monster, I must only take what I need to survive! (Toby thought to himself, but in a very dramatic way)... This is awesome! (Toby blurted out, unable to contain his excitement)... What about you, what can you do? (Toby said before checking the information on the other free to use skill)

[Second Wind: When the health of the Dreamer is low, this skill will allow them to drain the dream energy from their surroundings, allowing them to restore their health to some degree, and even gain some energy to keep on fighting]

Toby Robinson: Where have you been all my life! (Toby said as he quickly and happily purchases the skill)

Toby Robinson: Points well spent! Now let's see what the rest can do. (Toby said before he is suddenly hit from behind, almost falling to the ground)... Hey what gives?! (Toby yells as he turns to face Noble, the one who had hit him)

Noble: "Whinny"! (Noble snorts before turning back, looking at Prince Charming)

Browny: "Soft Growl" (Browny sounded as he gently shook Charming's body, but he was unresponsive, still lying motionless on the ground)

Toby Robinson: Charming... Charming are you okay?! (Toby yells as he rushes over to his side, hoping that nothing bad happens to his friend)

Next: Charming's Past.
