Chapter 507: The Mysterious Dark Ent.i.ty Within The Dreamscape
-----
An ent.i.ty revealed itself as Belle and I traveled into the Dreamscape of the Dark Shadow Sect.
This being made completely out of darkness and the negative energy produced by these painful emotions over acc.u.mulated in black clouds showed itself as two crimson-red eyes.
This being… I couldn"t really tell what it truly was. If it was using some method to hide itself, then it was a perfect one because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn"t really discern a single thing about him.
I only knew that it held enormous quant.i.ties of raw Mana flowing across its entire soul and… body? If it ever had a body.
Belle seemed to look at it in anger, while gritting her teeth and showing her sharp fox fangs.
She was rather angered at it, I guess because it was so scary looking.
"You… Who are you?" I asked.
The eyes looked down on me, as the pupils seemed to dilate in surprise.
"Huhuh… Hahahahahaha!"
And it began to laugh.
Belle grew angered at it, as she barked back like an angered fox would do.
"What"s so funny?! Answer my master!" she roared back.
The ent.i.ty stopped laughing as it glared down.
"Pitiful worms… Your understanding of the situation… It is so dim… All you have left to do is to despair… Despair!" it laughed.
Wow, this guy was really a cliché evil guy.
"Despair? Is that all your villain speech?" I asked.
"I will now devour your souls and be done with this… Two Unique Skill users walking straight to my very lair… Couldn"t have an easier meal!" he laughed.
"Master we should leave, NOW!" said Belle.
TRUUUUUUMMM!!!
The moment the monstrous being said he was going to eat us like a snack the black skies distorted around constantly as the entire sky and ground began to tremble.
Everything started to get more and more distorted, as if s.p.a.cetime and reality itself was warping around.
Enormous fangs showed up over us as gigantic jaws made of the entirety of the dreamscape tried to devour us constantly!
BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
"Master!!!" cried Belle.
The gigantic jaws distorted the perception of reality itself, as I noticed the monstrous being atop the skies glaring at us as if we were mere insects.
His power was being fueled by all the negative emotions around, which it absorbed to overpower us with raw magical power.
Its origins were unknown to me, but not his powers.
A dream magic user against another dream magic user? Seems doable.
He looks like an old monster compared to me…
But my Dream Magic Skill is at a decent Level, Level 8.
And Skills levels are not just for show, each level enhances the power of the magic by a great amount.
Level 8 Magic can be pretty mighty, you know?
I waved my hand and showed no fear at all, I wasn"t going to cower in fear as I confronted an enemy that treated me and my friend like garbage.
I looked him deeply into his crimson-red eyes as I waved my hands, and an enormous quant.i.ty of Mana began to flow out of my entire soul and body.
"So you"re telling me you"re going to kill us and eat our souls? Hah! Don"t make me laugh, your cliché villain speech wasn"t even that good anyways!" I said.
TRUUUUUUMMM…!
I distorted the very fabric of reality within the dream itself by exerting my own Dream Domain, combining it with the Illusion Domain Skill.
My powerful attack emerged as a spiraling ma.s.s of black winds, clashing against the gigantic jaws and throwing them away as I smiled defiantly against my foe.
"Nngggh?!"
The power he was exerting was easily overpowered, as I quickly conjured the Spirit Magic Spell "Spirit and Master Fusion".
"Come, help me out, Belle." I said.
"M-Master… Very well!" said Belle.
Belle jumped towards me while turning back into her little fox form, as her spiritual essence merged with me.
FLASH!
"W-What is this…?! A Dream Spirit! I had never seen one before…! I thought there were n spirits based in artificial elements!" said the ent.i.ty I utter disbelief, easily breaking his character and freaking out.
"Hahaha! Behold!" I laughed. I had to act arrogant, or he wouldn"t believe how strong I truly was.
With strength came arrogance and confidence! If you act humble all the time against an enemy, they"ll never take you seriously!
My fusion with Belle was an instant success, as my entire body began to emanate an enormous quant.i.ty of dream essence everywhere, enough to fight back against his powerful nightmarish presence.
TRUUUUMMM!
Suddenly, several cracks in s.p.a.ce emerged around us, this wasn"t s.p.a.ce itself but the dream"s s.p.a.ce, my very presence distorted dreams and began to suddenly pull them all back to me, turning them into essence and fusing themselves with me, giving me even more power.
I began to gather Mana around me as I realized my appearance had slightly changed, my body turned a bit taller and slender than before, as my hands gained long claws, and blue fur.
There were now nine fox-like tails behind me, all of bluish azure color, glistening with bright starlight sparkles.
I even had two fox-like ears of the same color atop my head… I had become a bit like Belle.
This was the effect of Spirit Fusion, fusing with your spirit gave you their traits.
But it also brought an enormous quant.i.ty of power.
It was a bearable price to gain this power…
"Abyssal Nightmarish Aura…" I said, as I smiled back at the monstrous ent.i.ty fighting against my very presence, he was trying constantly to crush me with his nightmarish aura, but I was about to show him what a true Nightmarish Aura was.
FLAAAAa.s.sSSSHH!!!
Abyssal Nightmarish Aura was the awakened form of my old Skill, Fear Aura.
It had evolved once into Spectral Fear Aura, but recently, after evolving, it changed once more, turning into Abyssal Nightmarish Aura!
And I was going to show this b.a.s.t.a.r.d what true nightmares were all about.
