Chapter 184: The Real Dream
The thick pink fog outside was no longer there.
Instead, there were all kinds of bizarre lights and twisted spirals floating around, and the entire dream was twisting and shaking.
But it doesn’t make people feel disgusted, instead it is very abstract.
There is still residual colorful mist floating around, the dream has become more abstract and distorted, and the distance from reality has been pulled further away.
And it is in such a world that the dream bubble that I just had is floating here.
And the one looking at him was the huge eye that Alka saw, separated from him by only a layer of bubble film.
This huge eye is estimated to be 7 meters high and 2 meters wide. There is no pupil in the eye, but a densely packed collection of smaller eyes.
Behind him was a distorted halo, quietly dragging black and green light and shadows floating around.
It seemed like it was wondering why the dream bubble that was here just now disappeared?
Why is there such a big change outside?
Alka floated in the air of his dream, looking at the bizarre scenery outside, and couldn't help thinking.
perhaps……
This is the real dream world. The dream world like a dream in the home sea is so peaceful.
It's not that the dream world should be like this, but because it is the home sea and the territory of the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary protected it, so there is such a scenery.
At this time, they left their home sea, lost their protection, and began to face the real world.
Not just the outside world, but also dreams and even deeper spiritual levels.
There was something urging in Alka's heart.
The pink mist in his hand began to gather and turned into a sharp spear.
Slowly, he floated out of the barrier of bubbles.
As Alka left the protection of the dream, the monsters outside saw him.
A strange, shrill scream came from the eye monster.
Countless distorted lights and shadows turned into sharp tentacles, piercing Alka's body from all directions.
Faced with such an attack, Alka just floated slowly in place.
Then he suddenly raised the javelin in his hand and threw it out.
In the blink of an eye... or maybe even faster.
The javelin disappeared into Alka's hand and pierced directly into the center of the eyed monster's body.
Even more piercing waves continuously vibrated around.
The distorted light and shadows around it also began to fluctuate with the shock, and were even repelled.
The light and shadow tentacles that were originally attacking Alka stopped beside him and then dissipated.
And the eye monster changed at the place where it was pierced by the pink spear.
The pink spear disappeared and turned into a thick mist that began to envelop the monster.
The pink mist was like a silkworm cocoon, and the eye monster inside was wrapped up and then suppressed and shrunk.
The thin film of mist kept moving left and right, as if something was struggling inside.
Alka watched this scene and slowly raised his arms.
The open palm clenched tightly, and the pink mist suddenly expanded and compressed tightly.
It turned into a round ball of mist.
The pink mist ball floated on Alka's hand, and then the pink mist wrapped on the surface entered Alka's body.
Returned to the orb.
And the thing covered by the pink mist also revealed his true appearance.
This is an oval-shaped gem, the transparent gem is crystal clear. Looking inside, all kinds of eyes keep appearing from the refracted gem.
Such a scene looks so creepy.
But Alka didn't care at all.
“So this is the dream catcher?”
The Home Sea not only suppresses people's strength, but also suppresses treasures and dreams.
She isolated all the evil creatures in the dream and protected her people within the sea of her home.
This also suppresses the dream catcher in disguise.
The reason why the dream catcher is called the dream catcher is because it can hunt and kill in dreams, which is its main function.
At that time, Alka was very surprised because the main function of this treasure was to allow Alka to move freely in his dreams.
But the problem is that the dream in the home sea is so peaceful and safe. There is no danger and nothing except being able to wake up in the dream.
By using special techniques to exchange dreams, one can have a substitute to die in.
But none of this is consistent with the Dreamcatcher's own abilities.
It was not until the real monster in the dream appeared that Alka understood the true power of this treasure.
It is to make Alka a hunter in dreams, so that he can wake up in dreams and travel through dreams.
The eye gem in his hand was the trophy he got from hunting.
The so-called eye monster looks so intimidating here, but it is actually very weak.
This is a dream, an abstract concept.
A powerful monster does not necessarily have a terrifying appearance, and a monster with a terrifying appearance is not necessarily powerful.
Perhaps it was just like the eyeball before, so weak that a slight blow could kill him.
The spoils that the eyeball monster brought to Alka were naturally of no use.
This is a very precious ornament.
For those who cannot move freely in dreams, or even hunt and kill.
It can only be obtained under certain circumstances, when the wall between dreams and reality becomes thin, when the two worlds are connected, and when such an eye monster appears in reality.
Simply put, it is a precious gem.
If you find the right buyer, it might be worth a lot of money.
But how many people know the value of it? After all, it is so rare.
Scarcity makes things valuable, but if they are too rare, they become meaningless.
As for its role in dreams.
Alka crushed the gem directly, and distorted light and shadow began to flow out as the gem shattered.
Pink mist flowed out from Alka's palm, capturing these distorted lights and shadows.
Then Alka retreated into his own dream, and these lights and shadows were also captured by him into his own dream world.
Alka waved his hands in his dream, and a transparent gem appeared in the center of the dream world.
He stuffed the distorted light and shadow in his hand into it.
Tiny specks of starlight appeared in the transparent gems, which is a kind of energy from dreams.
When Alka killed the monster and actually used the Dream Catcher, he gained more information.
This energy has many uses.
The most important function is to create a bridge connecting reality and dreams, so that Alka can drag objects in dreams into reality, and drag objects in reality into dreams.
But this amount of energy is naturally not enough.
This is the ability a treasure should have.
After fully experiencing the Dream Catcher's ability, Alka couldn't help but smile.
Since the Dreamcatchers are suppressed by the Home Sea, what about the Mirror?
A mask of mirror appeared on Alka's face in the dream.
But there was nothing.
The function of dreams remains the same and there are not too many problems.
No... maybe it's different.
With this thought, Alka's mask changed.
The monster with the same eye that I just saw appeared on the mirror.
Then the mask began to change.
This time, Alka 's head is still Alka.
But Alka's eyes turned into the shape of the monster, and the pupils in his eyes turned into densely packed smaller eyes.
“Ugh~”
Alka quickly canceled the change, and the mirror's mask disappeared again.
So disgusting.
Countless visions overlapped in front of him, and the feeling it brought made Alka feel extremely nauseous.
"This monster is really a waste. It's still disgusting even after its death."
In addition to the nausea, Alka's head also felt abnormally swollen and painful.
Simply put, this monster's ability is to divide the visible field of vision into pieces, so that he can observe all the noteworthy details within the range he sees.
Especially for his eyes which are several meters wide.
He noticed every detail within his field of vision.
But for humans, the brain does not have such a structure at all.
The sudden appearance of densely packed images, overlapping and divided, instantly caused problems in my brain.
Alka felt so sick that he couldn't even stand up.
After a long while, Alka felt a little better, but he still dry-heaved from time to time.
Fortunately, this is just a dream.
If this happened in reality, Alka would have vomited out his stomach acid.
However, this also allowed Alka to see even more exaggerated development prospects.
He can simulate monsters in dreams.
Who knows what kind of monsters there are in this dream? But there are definitely many more than in the outside world, and they are easier to see and observe.
Because he could move freely in his dream, still as a hunter.
And he doesn't have to avoid danger deliberately, because he uses his dream body and dies in the dream, which causes little harm to himself.
Once outside of the Home Sea, Alka discovered the combined power of the two treasures.
They are complementing each other's achievements.
Just as the Archbishop said.
Thinking of this, Alka floated out of his dream. Without the thick fog blocking him, Alka could easily see the dream bubbles around him.
The bubbles in dreams are related to the scope in reality.
For example, the bubbles around are all asleep, Xia Daiti and others.
Even including Lucelia's bubble right below his own bubble.
Alka floated over slowly.
There were no monsters seen wandering around Lucilia's bubble.
But to be on the safe side, Alka dragged Lucelia's dream and placed around his own dream bubble.
He raised his hands and waved.
The surrounding fog began to gather outside Alka's dream, and then it enveloped Alka and Lucelia's dreams like a round eggshell.
This provides a simple layer of protection.
This fog is like a huge rock to the creatures in the dream world.
After thinking about it, Alka expanded the eggshell until it was big enough to drag everyone's dreams over.
Then it immediately floated to other places, dragging Xia Daiti and the others' dreams with it.
No monsters were seen around their dreams.
Until Alka came to Pororo's dream.
Once again, I saw the strange dream monster.
It was an arm similar to that of a human, and the arm was a distorted light and shadow made up entirely of black and dark red.
Every swing creates a long trail of light and shadow, and this arm is clenching its fist and hammering at Porro's dream barrier.
This time, Alka did not rush to hunt the monster in the dream, but hid behind a ball of dream fog nearby and observed.
He planned to observe it carefully so that he could simulate it .
After observing for a long time, he didn't find anything special about the monster in the dream. He kept repeating the hammering action. Even the location of the hammering, the interval between each hammering, and the force of the hammering were exactly the same.
After confirming that he really couldn't see anything, Alka once again held a spear made of pink mist in his hand.
Lift it up and shake it gently.
In this dream, the spear condensed from the pink mist was so fast that it pierced through the arm in just the instant it was thrown out.
Before the mist had time to dissipate, the arm collapsed directly, turned into a faint light and shadow, and disappeared into the dream world.
That’s it?
This is too weak.
It was much weaker than the eyeball monster before. Alka felt that he didn't even need the pink mist. He could crush the arm just by using his body in the dream.
But since they are dead, there is no point in doing so. They collapsed so casually without leaving any spoils behind.
Continuing with his own business, Alka pushed Pororo's dream up.
This was the dream bubble farthest away from him.
Finally, six dream bubbles were stacked inside the misty eggshell and protected.
As for Jason, there is nothing we can do. He hasn’t gone to bed yet. When he falls asleep, we’ll drag his dream bubble over.
He was about to start formally exploring what was different about the outside dream world.
He controlled his dream body to float and began to travel through the dream world.
At this moment, the dream world around was so empty, without any bubbles, and even no monsters in the dream could be seen.
All you can see are palm-sized birds flying around from time to time.
As it flies, it leaves a long trail.
Because of the different colors of these birds, they look extremely dreamy.
This bird made up of light and shadow feels much weaker than the previous arm.
It seemed that just a slight flick would make them collapse.
This is indeed the case.
Because just now Alka hit a light and shadow bird in front of him like a mosquito, causing it to collapse.
There are so few monsters around here.
And it's too quiet.
In other words, the place where you are in a dream is likely to correspond to the place where you are in reality.
Alka unconsciously controlled himself to float in the dream, and his brain began to think.
Their current location in the outside world is the source of their forward route. Except for those of them who have just left their home sea, there are almost no outsiders around.
Not to mention that they were sailing very fast this time, and those who left behind might not have caught up and were far away.
And this damn place might only be passed by once every ten years or so.
Correspondingly, in the equivalent position in the dream, there may only be some dream bubbles that appear once in a dozen years.
Although Alka didn't fully understand the dream yet, he still knew some basic knowledge.
For example, the monsters in dreams feed on dreams. Not just human dreams, but also all intelligent creatures in the outside world, and even animals with brains.
As long as you can dream, it counts, but the dreams of intelligent creatures are more attractive, and also more attractive to more powerful monsters.
These monsters that feed on dreams are not necessarily all bad for the creatures that have dreams, but they are not necessarily good either.
People whose dreams were eaten by them.
The lighter consequences would just make these humans not rest as well, or even have a nightmare.
Severe cases may affect the spirit, causing severe insomnia, or even mental breakdown and death.
Of course, most of them will only cause lighter effects.
Severe effects will only appear in certain specific areas because there live monsters that can be considered terrifying even in dreams.
But the more likely reason is that the distance between reality and dreams is too short in some areas.
So the impact is huge.
This is some of the information the dream catcher brings to Alka.
In other words, the dream they are in now corresponds to an extremely desolate wilderness with few people.
But even so, Alka finally saw a monster from his dream.
It was a humanoid monster, wearing a robe made of light and shadow and carrying a sickle.
To be honest, this image is somewhat similar to the image of the god of death in the story.
Is it possible that the god of death in people’s dreams was created because of this kind of monster?
Alka couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.
He was flying quickly in his dream, leaving a long trail of light and shadow.
The color of the trail is a mixture of black and white.
Alka followed from a distance, observing his actions.
This dream monster that looked like the god of death came in front of a tiny bubble.
The owner of these tiny bubbles should be some kind of intelligent creature in the ocean.
You can tell from the size of the bubble and the thin shell.
It must be an animal.
This was Alka's experience as a dream catcher. He had also entered the dreams of animals before.
Coming in front of the tiny bubble, the dream monster that looked like the god of death raised the sickle in his hand.
Black and white light and shadow emerged, becoming distorted, and then the sickle swung down.
The shell of the bubble was easily broken, and countless pink mists began to flow out of the dream.
The monster began to devour under the mist, and the pink mist merged into his body.
The pink mist flowed out for about a few minutes, and then the bubble burst.
woke up?
He should have woken up. With such a degree of brokenness and the damage caused, he should have just had a small nightmare and woken up.
You may not even remember what the nightmare was about.
It seems that even the damage caused by this seemingly intimidating dream death is just a nightmare.
It is just dealing with this not very intelligent animal, the bubble in the dream, so weak.
In other words, outside the Sea of Gods, it may not be easy to get a good night's sleep.
Hmm... need to observe more.
Then the monster seemed to be full.
The object on the spot began to shrink into a ball, and finally turned into a ball of black and white mist only the size of a head.
The sickle next to it was still slowly rotating around the fog ball.
Are you taking a break?
Alka guessed, continuing to observe secretly from the side.
He kind of wanted to simulate this monster.
Because it looks really intimidating.
