Chapter 199: The Terrifying Dream Death
At dusk.
The sun fell into the sea, and the dim afterglow shone everywhere, making the sea surface seem covered with gold.
The sound of dawn continues to move forward on its course without stopping, with the waves and wind direction pushing it forward.
Walking alone.
Everyone on the ship had to find something to pass the time during this boring journey.
Even Pororo was forced to read books in the ship's library due to the time.
This is an extremely rare thing for him.
The last time they flipped through the pages of a book was probably when Lucelia was teaching them how to learn the language of white crocodiles.
"Based on the current distance, where should we be?" Lucelia asked without raising her head as she lay on the table in the observation room, writing something on the booklet beneath her.
"It will probably leave the boundary of the Deep Sea tonight, and it is estimated that it will enter the edge channel of the Ocean of Confusion tomorrow morning."
Alka, who was standing in the observation room and watching the situation outside, answered.
He is the one on duty now. Lucillia was the last one on duty. She has not left now because she is writing the atlas.
Recently, Lucilia has seen many interesting but not powerful enough dream monsters in her dreams, and she has written them into the picture book.
After hearing Alka's answer, Lucilia raised her head and said, "Doesn't that mean we will have to pass through another gate tomorrow? We will have to cross the stormy sea again?"
"Based on our experience from the previous two times, it would be true if nothing unexpected happens." Alka nodded.
"I hope we won't encounter the silver-threaded sea beast again this time." Lucilia said as she thought of the one they encountered before.
Alka nodded in agreement.
The two chatted like this until the sun set completely and the sky became dark.
There was a soft bell ringing from below, which meant that dinner was about to start.
"Let's go, let's eat."
Alka stood up and looked at Yi who was sitting on the other side of the platform. "Yi, we will go down first. You will be in charge during the meal."
Hearing Alka's words, the masked Yi turned around, and the puppet's pupils were no longer dull, but became a little lively.
He nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Although Zero and One's emotions and reactions have been greatly improved with the addition of Two, for some reason, perhaps because of One's own personality, she is still taciturn.
Seeing her nod, Alka smiled and swung down with Lucelia.
Landed on the stern deck and entered the small restaurant.
At this time, inside the small restaurant, today's dinner has been placed on the table. A huge sea fish, about three meters long, was placed on the table.
The whole fish stood out on the table and was not cut into pieces, but the meat from each section of the body was treated differently.
Looks incredibly delicious.
Juanlu wiped his hands, smiled on his slightly bearded face, looked at Alka and said, "Pororo caught this by chance in the sea a few hours ago. It's not bad, isn't it?"
Arka sniffed the fragrance in the air, gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "It's more than good. My stomach is protesting to me. It can't wait any longer."
"Oh~ Some people also caught fish, but they were very tiny. How long were they? Are they as big as my palm?" A sarcastic voice came from behind.
Juanlu, who was standing opposite the two men, was the first to see the person coming and smiled helplessly.
Alka and Lucelia turned around when they heard the voice, and saw that it was Pororo who had been acting weird.
Next to him was Jason, whose height reached his waist. At this moment, listening to Polo's sarcastic tone, he could only endure it with a frown, and one could even see the blue veins on his forehead.
He was so angry, but he had no way to refute.
Looking at the behavior of these two people, Alka and Lucilia were a little confused. At this time, Xia Daiti, who came from behind them, surpassed them.
Coming up to the two of them, he explained with a smile, "They were bored in the afternoon, so they went to the sea to catch fish with their bare hands, but you know, Jason can never be a match for this kind of thing."
As he spoke, he pointed to a fried fish on a small plate next to the dining table. The fish was probably only half the size of Lucelia's doll.
Placed next to the big fish in the middle, the contrast is indeed outrageous, and it is definitely not as big as Porro's palm.
"Okay, okay, take a seat."
Julia was the last one to enter the restaurant, and everyone sat down around the table.
Alka looked at Shadati and saw nothing on her shoulders or thighs.
I couldn't help but wonder, generally speaking, doesn't he have to be with her all the time?
"Where's Er? He's not with you?"
Hearing Alka's question, Shadaiti replied: "She is sewing clothes, saying that they are for her future sisters."
Alka nodded. After this period of time, his reactions in all aspects were very much like those of a real person.
But after all, he is a newborn baby, and he looks about 12 to 14 years old, but this is already a remarkable improvement.
The so-called sewing clothes is because Er’s profession is a seamstress and he has been learning sewing clothes from Xia Daiti.
In addition to her hobby of drawing maps, Xia Daiti also likes to design clothes, and her sewing skills are also very good.
For example, the clothes Lucilia was wearing were designed and sewn by Xiadaiti and inscribed with spells by Alka.
"Everyone, eat well and get some rest tonight. We may have to go through stormy seas again tomorrow morning, so be prepared," Alka said.
Everyone nodded; they had already made preparations.
And as long as they knew about the storm in advance, it would not be a difficult problem for them to overcome.
It is easy to solve as long as you don't encounter the Silver Silk Sea Beast after passing it.
They still haven't figured out a good way to deal with the silver-thread sea beast.
If you encounter it, you can only try your best to stop it, and then leave quickly relying on the speed of the Sound of Dawn.
"We have unknowingly completed the halfway point of our journey." Xia Daiti put a piece of fish into his mouth and said while chewing.
On the contrary, Jason's face was extremely uncomfortable, and he said helplessly: "It's only halfway through? Oh, do I have to go through half the time again?"
The desolate sea, moving forward on the sea, without seeing any other ships, not even an island.
He had forgotten how long it had been since his feet had touched land, and he felt like he was about to forget about landing.
After saying this, he put down the cutlery in his hand and crossed his arms over his chest, which is the gesture when praying to the Virgin Mary.
He just kept muttering, "Holy Mother, please help me. I hope I can find an island on the rest of the journey. I can't stand it any longer."
"Of course, if the island is too dangerous, forget it," he added.
"Okay, let's eat."
Finally, there was the sound of people chewing heartily and praising the delicious food.
Nightfall.
Jason replaced Alka and went to the observation room to keep watch for the first half of the night.
The night watch schedule had a new arrangement, and the first half of the night watch was assigned to Jason.
Because Alka found that even if he didn't have to keep watch, Jason would still go to bed the latest among the group. It was always in the middle of the night that his dream appear.
Faced with Alka's arrangement, Jason readily accepted it and said that he had wanted to propose this to Alka for a long time.
Since Alka himself has to enter the dream world to patrol every night, and it can be predicted that once reaching the Infinite Ocean, the dream world will become more lively.
He had to patrol in his dreams on time every day, thus taking his shift out of the night.
Alka lay down on the bed early, fell asleep quickly, and sank into a dream.
The benefit of owning a dream catcher may be that Alka will no longer have to worry about insomnia, and no longer have to worry about not getting enough sleep or not having enough time.
Thanks to the dream catcher, he can still move around in his dreams and even learn.
Alka had experimented and found that if other people could stay awake in their dreams, it would be fine for one or two days. But after a long time, especially for more than a week, they would feel obviously sleepy during the day.
He felt like he hadn't slept for several days, but he didn't have this experience because he was holding the dream treasure, the Dream Catcher.
It is equivalent to having more time than others for no reason, although you can only act in dreams.
Wake up from your dream again.
At this moment, in the center of Alka's dream bubble, in the huge transparent crystal, sparkling fluorescent lights were densely distributed inside, flowing and floating freely inside.
His dream energy increased again, and there were a lot of trophies placed under the crystal, but they were still some materials.
No matter how different the shapes of the light and shadow monsters and the black shadow monsters are, the materials obtained by being compressed by the pink mist after death are similar.
There is nothing special to say.
And as these materials increase, Alka plans to try to make a doll girl that is strongly related to dreams in the future doll making.
However, due to the lack of other materials for making dolls, this idea still remains on paper.
Thinking of this, Alka's figure floated away.
As usual, he patrolled around everyone's dream bubbles and casually removed a few arms or claws of light and shadow.
These creatures were so weak that they couldn’t even condense spoils of war, and only produced some tiny spots of dream energy.
After taking a look around and making sure there were no problems, Alka began to explore the surrounding dream space.
Although the surroundings were still as desolate as before, he had to explore outside every day, just in case he found a dream bubble of terrestrial creatures or discovered an island. It would be a pity to miss it.
In such a desolate sea area as the Ahead Channel, every island was enough to arouse Alka's curiosity.
However, after so long, I have only encountered the Shipwreck Island.
Thinking this way, Alka began to fly out, and by the way, he checked around to see if there were any dream creatures he had never seen before.
There was a mirror floating next to him, and the image displayed in the mirror was still the dream god of death.
Until now, the Dream Death has not discovered the tiny piece of mirror fragment stuck to his body.
From Alka's observation, he had experienced several battles, but he handled them all with ease.
As a result, the fragments of the mirror were not destroyed by the battle. Instead, Alka observed many fighting methods of the dream god of death through him, as well as their daily hunting and living habits.
Alka felt that he was almost about to fill up the simulation state of the Dream Death.
After a while, he might be able to fully observe every aspect of the dream god of death and make a perfect simulation of it.
As for what perfect simulation could bring, Alka had no idea. He had not observed other creatures seriously like this recently.
There is neither the time nor the conditions.
A creature like the Dream Death may be the first.
Exploring aimlessly, Alka discovered another dream god of death. This was the third one he had seen.
However, there were no other changes in appearance. He was still wearing the cloak of light and shadow, and holding the black sickle in his hand, and was hunting.
He used the black sickle in his hand to cut the dream bubbles of marine creatures, absorbing the pink mist particles that emerged from them.
Alka had seen this scene many times, and after thinking about it, a piece of mirror appeared in his hand.
Following the pink mist, it spread over and secretly stuck to the back of the dream god of death.
However, an embarrassing thing happened.
When the pink mist wrapped around the mirror flew over, the bubble that had just been cut open by the Dream Death was shattered.
He turned around and just happened to see Alka hiding in the pink mist behind him, and the thing that was spread by him.
This situation made Alka's heart skip a beat, because this was the first time he was discovered by the Dream Death in his dream.
Previously, for the purpose of observation, he had never been discovered and had never fought with the god of death in dreams.
Faced with Alka's appearance, the dream god of death retreated immediately as if he had seen a ghost.
Then, without hesitation, it turned into a stream of light and shadow, flashing quickly until it disappeared.
From the moment he turned around and saw Alka to the moment he disappeared, the entire process took less than three seconds.
Alka stood there in a daze as he watched the disappearing Dream Death.
"This..." Alka touched his head in confusion.
Why is this happening?
I didn’t do anything?
He thought that the Dream Death might be in a stalemate with him, and he also thought that the Dream Death might rush up and fight him directly.
He even thought that he might be defeated by the dream god of death, causing his body in the dream to be shattered, and he would be awakened from reality as if he had a nightmare.
But he never imagined that the moment the Grim Reaper in his dream saw him, he would flee madly as if he had seen a ghost.
Too bizarre.
Alka knew the speed of transformation into light and shadow.
He had seen it many times when observing another Dream Reaper, usually just moving short distances during battle.
According to his observation, this kind of movement of light and shadow consumes a lot of energy and will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Even if you are avoiding fatal damage in battle, only use it at short distances and use it as little as possible.
Simply put, this method of rapid movement by transforming into light and shadow is equivalent to the life-saving trick used by the Dream Grim Reaper, similar to his trump card.
However, the dream death god just now used light and shadow quickly without hesitation, and at a very long distance, it disappeared in an instant and was out of Alka's sight.
According to the information observed by Alka, such an exaggerated way of leaving was enough to drain the energy from the body of this dream god of death.
Looking at the already disappeared dream god of death Alka who was standing there, his eyebrows couldn't help but gather together.
He was wondering what caused this situation.
The Grim Reaper in the dream was so afraid of me that he ran away without thinking, and tried his best to get out of my sight.
It was like encountering a deadly natural enemy and running for its life. If it was a step slower, it would seem that it would die.
Alka had a certain understanding of the fighting power of the Dream Death God, at least it was above the triple spiral level.
My strength is only at the second stage of the quadruple spiral. Even if he can't beat me, he won't be so afraid.
Then there is only one possible reason why you are so afraid of dreaming about the god of death.
Alka lowered his head and looked at the transparent crystal ball floating out from his chest and the pink mist that kept rotating and floating in it.
"Is it because of you?" Alka muttered as he held up the dream catcher.
He had already made up his mind.
After all, the Dream Catcher is called the Dream Catcher because he can make Alka a hunter in dreams.
What is a hunter? Only those who are strong enough to cause harm to most dream creatures can be called such a person.
Otherwise it's prey.
When I thought about the pink mist of the crystal ball in the dream, it had such a powerful suppressive force and various magical effects, it was as if my wishes had come true.
It is understandable why the Dream Death is so afraid of me. He must have used some sense that I cannot understand to discover the existence of the dream catcher in me.
Thinking of this, Alka rubbed his chin and looked in the direction where he dreamed of death going away.
"So, the intelligence displayed by these dream death gods is definitely not low."
These dream gods of death are most likely intelligent creatures living in dreams.
