Rebellious Path

It was no longer just a figure, no, it was something else entirely… It started to burst out from the body and it looked like it came from a terrifying nightmare. Blood spurted out across as it floated through whilst a sharp glint glowed upon my eyes cautious of the monster right before me. The girls beside me were already trembling out of fear and troubles, they felt as if they were gonna be consumed in no less than a second. I mean, who can blame them? Normal people, unlike me, would be terrified.

It had hundreds of eyes along and a completely dark body and with hundreds of tentacles dangling along with it. It was truly disgusting to look at no matter what as it grew larger and larger revealing horrendous teeth and completely petrifying stare.

A warning rang loudly echoing throughout my head causing me to slightly flinch as a panel appeared right across my eyes and stated information about the monster.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Nightmare Demon (Level 90)]

HP: 109,322

MP: 109,322

A demon that symbolizes someone's fear. This demon haunts a target's dreams and haunts it, being unable to defeat it in a dream is equal to losing your own life. If it finds a stronger target, it will leave the body that it is currently hosting and tries to take over that person. Extra caution, when you encounter one, you are no longer in the real world, but in a warped dream dimension.

{Skills}

[Dream Manipulation]

[Instill Fear]

[Haunt]

[Scare]

[Insanity]

{Status Effects}

[Physical Damage Immunity]

[Haunting Aura]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I read through it in a couple of seconds, I couldn't help but be shocked about how I am no longer in the real world. I didn't sense anything about being transported to a warped dream dimension! This just means that it is stronger than before as it had the [Dream Manipulation] ability… I must eliminate it as soon as possible.

I then proceeded to speak out loud to the girls, "Stay close! It's a nightmare demon! DOo NOT look at it!", the girls nodded as they ran up behind me whilst I cast a barrier that was capable of restricting any type of magic… However, if the magic is stronger than my current strength, then… it was more than likely for it to break,

Without wasting any more time, I proceeded to cast a light magic spell to attack the demon as it might attack the four behind me. But then, as I proceeded to move, it stared at me and I felt my body froze. The whole area seemed to crack as I fell down a pit of eternal darkness… Was this the dream manipulation?

I turned my head around only to see the others falling as they shrieked whilst I shook my head as I flew high up and caught them with speed capable of breaking through anything using wind magic that could super me flying for about… a couple of hours, but then, the darkness kept overwhelming me, "What the hell is this!?"

"Riku!"

The four simultaneously shouted as I held them within my arms trying to keep them from falling… So fighting in the dream world with this guy is impossible huh… I looked at it once again as I cast even stronger revisions of my light magic spell as the weakness of demons should be clear, they should be weak to light magic.

A magic circle soon started to appear within the grasp of my hand, and it shone brightly. Noticing my motives, the demon looked at me and was seemingly trying to derange me with a certain skill and a panel appeared right before my eyes clearly stating that the demon was trying to use [Insanity] on me, but gladly because of one of my {Status Effects}, I simply shrugged it off, dumbfounding it.

But then, I suddenly felt it's gaze warped with a bit of a smug aura. I couldn't help but be confused, but, I soon realized. It was not aimed at me… it was aimed at the four that I was barely able to carry.

"Shit!-"

Suddenly, I felt killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t rising from the girls whilst their aura's turned dark… They were going insane! 'Why the f.u.c.k did I not realize!', this was a very bad situation, but… since this was just a dream… I grinned widely as I knew what I was going to do!

I no longer held back as I teleported high up to the demon ultimately shocking it. It sure did not think of the possibility of me leaving the girls behind and proceeded to be on the offensive. But I'm not that stupid to follow the rules of things, but the demon was also quick-witted. Seemingly realizing that I was behind it, it toasted out loudly as it disappeared from its position.

"Heh, so that's what you're gonna do eh? Well then!"

I trained my space magic last time, and this could be a training session meant for my space magic! Boy oh boy, even though it's speed must be very quick, it can never compare to just warping space! How about I try to create a new spell?

Just as I expected, it appeared behind me and tried to slice me with its slimy tentacles, and I couldn't help but remember that these creatures also appear in f.u.c.k.i.n.g p.o.r.n, and it's mortifying! With an intense gaze, I teleported far away from it and tried to bend space with my own will.

Certainly, I was still inexperienced and I could only see it twist over a little bit, but I need it to be stronger! If I could use physical attacks, then this piece of shit would be dead already! How about training the other types of magic? That battle should be quiet useful for battle experience and just the pure basis of leveling my magic, and possibly, my very own level. It's quite saddening to see something, or possibly, someone with the same level as me, and the same HP too!

"Fire magic first~!"

Though, the demon didn't seem to be frantic about me getting away so far… It probably has means to reach me easily huh… Then, it's tentacles suddenly lengthened as it shot at me at light speed! It was incredible! I simply smirked as I fueled more wind mana on the wind magic I used to fly so I could be able to dodge faster!

Whilst staring down the demon, the temperature of the area started to rise as I used all the force of my body to push myself sidewards. The wind mana that I steadily increased, further forced my momentum to increase giving me more speed than any normal person would have, but then, I was barely able to dodge the attack, and I was grazed, which was a shock… It was already such a long time before someone was able to even wound me! They may be able to bombard me with attacks and leave me with bruises and such, but a wound? It was impossible!

The fire magic I cast, burning throughout the entire area, in speeds that were at the absolute pinnacle of possible! It was quite shocking, for a fact, especially for the demon as it was certainly hit by it!

It was damaged… although you could say that it was weak, fire is a physical attack as well! That just further proves the point that everything is possible! I smirked as I gazed at the shocked demon. Though, I didn't continue it as I continued to try and create a new space. If I could manage to create a space, then I could render its skill [Dream Manipulation] useless.

I was getting pumped up with this fight! Now then! I should've already mastered Lilia's strongest technique, Earth God's Spear was it? I should use it, right? I then smirked as I should just use space magic rather than wind magic to dodge, but it was a good effort of training though!

"Terra Dei Framea!"

Unlike other magic spells, the caster needed to shout these three Latin words, which I thought was completely necessary, to be able to cast it. And I said 'thought', because I tried to cast this spell without the chanting before, but it was completely useless! Nothing came out and Lilia could only giggle at that scene!

Earth then started to form out of nothing and quickly generated a giant spear, which was intimidating to look at! The demon widened its eyes as it saw something way beyond the boundary of its thinking, and I could only smile widely. But! What if… we mixed earth, with fire? It would certainly be great!
