Chapter 1003: That giant sun
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Zheng Tai.
Twenty years old.
One could say that he’s the youngest one among the world esper powerhouses this time. However, it was this guy who’s not old and small in size that had brought nightmare to the beasts which was hard to erase. In the round 64-32, Zheng Tai’s deadly stab was deeply engraved in the beasts’ mind.
“He’s an assassin.”
He’s excellent in a single fatal blow. His Rule Force mainly focused on offense but at the same time, because of his Rule Force, his defense was also the weakest. Thus, to defeat Zheng Tai, the easiest way is while being prepared, force him to attack you and block that single fatal blow of his.”
“As long as you block it, victory is secured.”
“Or if you’re qualified, force him to face you head on! A frontal confrontation, Zheng Tai was never any opponent of those with similar strength.”
Obviously.
Zheng Tai’s attack method made the beasts have goosebumps on their back.
In the previous match, facing a beast who steadily took one step at a time, Zheng Tai only shot once but it was that one time that the beast got eliminated.
Thus, it would be strange if they didn’t panic.
If they lose this time…
That would be five consecutives losses!
In the beast camp.
Many strong beasts frowned slightly. Even Mo Ling who was above everyone else revealed a trace of hostility between its eyebrows right now. Humans had after all brought them too many accidents. Similarly, in the human camp, everyone was also intensively studying the other party’s information.
“Who is Zheng Tai’s opponent?”
“Let me have a look.”
“It’s that beast, Succubus.”
“Succubus?”
Everyone had a look and soon recalled this beast.
Succubus, its ranking was at 10-ish in terms of strength, a level two world esper. However, the most terrifying thing was that this guy had a terrifying title within the beasts, Dream Talker. According to the legend, it could easily bring creatures into its dream world to kill.
So far, there was no one surviving to tell the story.
Dream Talker.
“Display the data from its previous matches.”
Su Hao said.
“Alright.”
Soon, the information regarding Dream Talker was revealed. After everyone read it, they all sucked in a mouthful of cold air. In previous matches, Dream Talker raised its hand in a single wave motion and the opponent fell into an endless dream. Then, he was left in a daze and even proceeded to commit suicide.
The scary thing was Dream Talker never moved.
It didn’t even take a single step!
“Mental Force.”
Su Hao pondered. This guy’s power had a similar effect to Blue Dream Butterfly but obviously it was more terrifying than Blue Dream Butterfly. Blue Dream Butterfly was good at controlling and seducing but this Succubus was good at making dreams and letting its target experience it.
“This seems to be a bit troublesome.”
Su Hao looked at Zheng Tai, “Do you have the confidence to crack its dream?”
“As long as I don’t get brought into its dream.”
Zheng Tai thought about it.
“How could it be that simple.”
Su Hao shook his head slightly.
This was like Universe Creator. It was impossible to prevent that! With Zheng Tai’s current level, one he was brought into the dream, he might not even know how he died.
Because he was too fragile in defense.
“If it couldn’t work, give up then.”
Wang Ru thought about it for a moment and decided to not give him pressure, “We have won four matches, you don’t have to give yourself much pressure.”
“Alright.”
Zheng Tai smiled for a second and seemed indifferent. However, Su Hao could see the stubbornness within that smile. This kid was more rebellious than he thought. Those words of Wang Ru might have ended up backfired instead.
Soon.
Under the anticipation of beasts and humans, those two participants appeared on stage. The fifth match between human and beast began officially.
Buzz~
Zheng Tai’s figure quietly vanished.
He hid himself.
Last time, Zheng Tai also went invisible like that until the final moment before inflicting a fatal blow to the opponent, perfectly assassinating the target. This time…
“Smirk.”
Dream Talker shrugged its shoulders and gave a cold, low humph. Apparently it had long prepared for this.
“This same move again?”
“Foolish human.”
“Follow me…enter my dream.”
Boom!
Dream Talker moved its right hand.
A small flame appeared slowly. Everyone was alarmed because they obviously knew what it was. Sure enough, as the small flame turned into a light wave and fluctuated, the silent wave swept across the scene.
Buzz~
The world was in turmoil.
“No response?”
“Zheng Tai didn’t come out?”
“Could that move be ineffective?”
Everyone couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Dream Talker’s dream had been activated but Zheng Tai hadn’t revealed himself yet. Could it be that he really managed to avoid it? However, the corner of Dream Talker’s mouth raised, forming a smile.
“The dream has begun.”
“Eerie graveyard.”
In space.
Suddenly light and shadow flickered. Everyone couldn’t help but look over. In front of Dream Talker, a screen appeared and Zheng Tai’s figure was on it!
Dream Talker just casually looked at Zheng Tai’s figure just like watching a character in a movie.
In the match.
Even though Zheng Tai was invisible, he was still brought into the dream.
On the virtual screen.
It was a dark cemetery.
Zheng Tai had just landed, watching everything around him cautiously. Obviously, he knew what was happening to him and proceeded to move forward in high alert as he tried to crack the dream.
Out of sudden.
A bone claw protruded from the cemetery. Zheng Tai frowned slightly, watching the bone struggling to crawl out from the ground.
“A dreamland, huh?”
Zheng Tai was in deep thought, “Although I don’t know where you are, with only these, isn’t that too weak?”
“Really?”
Dream Talker looked at Zheng Tai’s expression, “Then I will add more material for you.”
Boom!
Dense bones could be seen in the cemetery.
Just that they were just scattered bones but suddenly, they assembled together, turning into a terrifying skeletal dragon. With its huge body, it smashed against Zheng Tai.
Poof~
There was a blood stain on Zheng Tai’s face.
He did it on purpose.
“The pain is similar.”
Zheng Tai touched the blood on his face, “The virtual sensation is the same too. If I die here, although there won’t be anything wrong in reality, I will definitely lose this match.”
A dreamland in the holographic world?
This was an alternate world in itself!
“This is trouble.”
Su Hao finally understood the terror of Dream Talker.
“Perhaps in reality, it’s not strong and has weaknesses to be exploited but over here…”
Su Hao analyzed, “One of the most common ways to crack dreams is to use the difference between dreams and reality. However, this is invalid here! Because we’re in a holographic world which is virtual, this itself is different from the dreams to begin with. In other words…”
“Here, the difficulty in cracking the dream increases exponentially!”
Everyone looked ugly.
“Plus, the more terrifying thing is…”
Su Hao stared at Dream Talker who was on the stage non-stop, “This kind of mental attack, if it’s done with its full strength, that might also have an impact in reality!”
“If Zheng Tai insists to not admit his defeat…”
“In reality, he might suffer consequences too.”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s complexion changed drastically.
Reality…
Through a dream in a holographic world, it could affect reality?
Doesn’t that mean Dream Talker is extremely scary?
“Zheng Tai.”
“All the best.”
Everyone once again shifted their attention back to the stage.
Boom!
A stream of light flashed from Zheng Tai’s hand. The skeleton dragon was easily killed by him. After experiencing firsthand that injury could lead to his failure, he had no interest in toying around with these bones.
“Wow, your strength is not bad.”
Dream Talker exclaimed, “What about this then?”
Boom!
A light ray flickered.
The scene changed again.
The gloomy cemetery vanished and in front of Zheng Tai’s eyes, it suddenly turned into the ancient times. Dinosaurs walked past him and the gloomy picture just now turned exciting. The moment when the scene changed, the strange aura on Zheng Tai attracted the attention from all dinosaurs.
Roar~
A roar echoed.
The giants galloped!
Soon, the earth began to have a quake.
Seeing the bad situation in front, Zheng Tai quickly fled. However, right now, how could he escape from countless dinosaurs? Soon, he was overtaken.
Killing one, there were still countless heads awaiting him!
“Humph.”
Zheng Tai sneered coldly.
Knowing the situation wasn’t looking great, he became invisible again and the dinosaurs who lost their target instantly turned into headless flies, “It takes time to support such a large-scale dream but how long can you last?”
What Zheng Tai tried to delay was time!
“You think I don’t know about your invisibility?”
Dream Talker sneered.
As expected.
Soon, it started to rain.
The strange thing was the dinosaurs which had always been hiding themselves from rain and snow revealed themselves while under this kind of rain. Soon, they who were flustered not long ago found the target again.
Roar~
“Run.”
Zheng Tai turned around and fled.
Behind him, countless dinosaurs were chasing after him. The ground constantly shook. Watching this, everyone was a bit worried. Zheng Tai, could he hold on? As bystanders, they could see more than what Zheng Tai could. Slowly but surely, Zheng Tai gradually entered into the encirclement of the dinosaurs.
In the end, Zheng Tai was totally surrounded.
Being surrounded by countless dinosaurs, this time it was hard to slip through.
Who knew that at this moment, Zheng Tai’s figure flashed and vanished again. The heavy rain that had been doing great job in spotting him just now could no longer detect him. Dream Talker’s group of dinosaurs had been anxiously searching for him but failed. The glorious scene which it created with hard work became ineffective instantly.
“Huh?”
Dream Talker was taken aback.
When it had a closer look, it seemed to understand something.
“Shadow?”
“You still have this move left?”
At this critical moment, Zheng Tai once again entered into the shadow. Without a target, the dinosaurs dispersed again. This time, the plan to encircle him obviously failed once more.
The dreamland needed to be reset again.
After Zheng Tai became invisible once more, Dream Talker was aware that with the current state of the dreamland, it won’t cause any harm to Zheng Tai. Looking at Zheng Tai hiding within the shadow, Dream Talker waved its hand and the scene changed.
It was yet another new scene.
As soon as Zheng Tai opened his eyes, he then saw the surrounding environment had a huge change.
Dream Talker had no ability to limit his strength but it could change the scene of the surrounding easily. This time, his current location…
He was in space!
And here, there was no shadow!
There was no air.
No food.
No time.
There was nothing around. Only the scorching sun could be seen.
Zheng Tai looked around. There was nothing. Only the endless stars and the sun were clearly visible in the endless distance. He tried to take a step forward and felt a bit weightless.
However…
There was no sign of any organism.
In addition to the eerie graveyard and the age of dinosaurs, this was the third dream of Dream Talker, an interstellar adventure. Here, your only opponent is that giant sun!
How do you win then?
