Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

I don't know how the situation on William's side is. Anyway, the six of us in the battlefield behind the enemy were divided into two groups.

Of course this time is no exception. I am still in a team with Xia Yinci and Su Huilin.

However, Xia Yinci said that the three of them were still very conspicuous, so she dragged Su Huilin into the forest without saying a word, pointed at me and warned to wait half a minute before entering.

Xia Yinci...

Tsk, sure enough, my guess was correct.

Tut tut.

I didn't get the timing right for half a minute, and when the time was up, I slipped into the woods. As soon as I entered the woods, I heard the roar of various melees ahead. Judging from the nearby sounds, it is definitely not just the silver-haired boy and the man in the lecture hall. There were at least four other people present besides us.

Accompanied by the sound of "Xia Li Xi Li", the nearby trees were instantly covered with a layer of frost, and the surrounding area was suddenly as icy and snowy as after a heavy snowfall. While the physical temperature drops, intense flames radiate like the scorching sun, and the high-temperature wind and waves melt the frost.

On the other hand, there was a roar that pierced the sky, which was obviously not caused by one person, just like the voices of thousands of soldiers shouting in unison on the battlefield.

But I don't think this forest can hide thousands of people.

"It seems to be a dream keeper. Sure enough, this is the dream palace of this dream."

During the round with Xia Yinci and Su Huilin, Xia Yinci came to the same conclusion as me.

"Generally, dream palaces belong to a certain building, right? This is the first time I have encountered an outdoor venue like a forest as a dream palace."

"Hmph, there are many things you don't know~"

I couldn't help being a little speechless, and thought for a while to fight back:

"Isn't it because you didn't say anything?"

I can't stand being so arrogant anymore, the original Xia Yinci is more used to it. It's really interesting to be arrogant once in a while, but it's exhausting to use this way of speaking all the time, let alone in this situation. So a proper counterattack is still necessary.

"I...tch..."

Although Xia Yinci was a little angry and even stomped her feet anxiously, fortunately, she no longer targeted me.

Forget it, maybe her changeable personality is also her characteristic?

perhaps……

"In a place like this, what form does the power ring exist in, and where is it hidden?"

As soon as the voice fell, a deafening shout hit our direction, followed by a wave of air that was strong enough to sweep us into the air.

I quickly stretched out my hand to block the impact, and at the same time called out the name of the dream maker.

"Thousands of faces!"

No reply.

"Thousands of faces?"

Still nothing happens.

I raised my eyebrows, so I had no choice but to adjust my policy, and said in a flattering tone:

"Miss Qianyan, come out and do me a favor..."

In the middle of speaking, the air wave that was close at hand instantly pulled me upside down and pulled me into the sky.

Just when I was about to be thrown out by this blast of air, a pair of clear eyes showing displeasure were reflected in front of my field of vision.

"Tsk. You're so annoying."

While curling her silver hair, the girl unhurriedly raised her upper arm, and swung it casually towards her side, instantly counteracting the wave of air that was tearing at me. Before he had time to rejoice, his body lost its support and fell down, and the top of his head hit the ground tragically.

"Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."

When I opened my eyes again, Qianyan had disappeared from the field of vision. Instead, the two pairs of pupils looked at me with a little contempt, showing disgust in unison.

"Don't look at me like that... I just didn't react!"

Why do they both have nothing to do? I rubbed my aching head and stood up without daring to neglect.

"You... you fell so cute~"

The black cat coming from the other direction gave me a teasing look, followed by Chart.

"Don't mention this again! The air wave just now was probably caused by the Dream Thief and the Dream Keeper here, which means that they have matched up."

Looking over now, he could see a figure suspected to be the Dreamer, a monster two meters long with seven or eight pairs of red eyes on his face.

"Well, it is beneficial to us for the Dream Keeper and the Dream Stealer to restrain each other~ The problem is that we don't know anything about the power ring."

Following the Dream Thieves all the way to the Dream Palace, the next question is how to take away the power ring that symbolizes the dominance of dreams.

No one will do this for us, and there is no trickery.

Unless you give up looking for the power ring, just wait for the dream robbers to find the location of the world gate, and go to the upper dreamland with them.

Comparing the power ring with the access to the upper level, the latter is more important.

"Then let's change the way, instead of using the mutual containment of the dream thief and the dream keeper, but secretly help the dream thief defeat the dream keeper, let them find the entrance to the upper dream, and then we sneak in. "

Xia Yinci listened to my words, nodded her head with great interest, and took the lead in replying:

"That's fine~ As long as we go there once, we can use our own world gate to go there next time, which is equivalent to placing a save point."

"Yeah. If there is another problem, you can come back here and find another chance to take the power ring away."

Charter accepted my offer this time without shouting.

In this way, we sneaked into the vicinity of the battle between the Dream Thief and the Dream Keeper, but the Dream Thief didn't seem to work together because of the appearance of a common enemy. While the silver-haired boy built an ice wall to block the Dreamer's movements, he shot an ice arrow from his palm at the man in leather next to him.

"It seems that they are planning to use the power of the Dream Keeper to get rid of each other..."

Some of them pretended to cooperate, but deliberately did not attack the dreamer, and focused on the defensive; some turned to cooperate with the dreamer to attack the dream stealer, while defending the dreamer from attacking themselves. As for the action of the silver-haired boy targeting both sides at the same time, it is too arrogant.

The black cat looked at their situation carefully, and suddenly its eyes rested on the silver-haired boy, and the corners of its mouth inadvertently curled up, as if it had made up its mind.

"Charter, I will ask you for help if necessary, follow my command~"

"Why do you like to instruct me... Tch, forget it."

The Dreamer swung his claws and tore at the ice wall, changing hands back and forth at a speed that was hard to detect with the naked eye. The ice wall quickly couldn't withstand this frantic attack, and was shattered by the violent impact. It let out the roar of the previous wave again, kicked back and jumped towards the red-haired boy, and the ground sank in an instant.

Only then did I realize that the cries that seemed to be made by thousands of people were entirely caused by this monster.

The red-haired boy who was alarmed by the danger glanced sideways, trying to block the dreamer, but the dreamer from the other direction also rushed over with his fists, his tight fists were surrounded by blue-purple flames, even us The distance here feels the fiery temperature.

The red-haired boy immediately turned his body to the two sides, and quickly raised his arms, but the corners of his mouth seemed a little weak and turned down.

Sharp icicles emerged from the palm he pointed at the Dream Thief, and the hand aimed at the Dream Keeper had no time to create ice.

The moment the beast's claws were about to grab the boy, the pace of the dreamer who quickly drew closer was restrained, his legs staggered, and his speed slowed down a lot in an instant.

Although the young man found it strange, there was no time to pursue it. However, from my angle, I could clearly see the blue vines wrapped around the dreamer's heels. The corner of the mouth of the black cat beside him also showed a gentle smile. With the downward movement of her arms, the vines disappeared. The dreamer who lost his footing also quickened his pace again, and the places he passed were obviously sunken, forming footprints that looked like giants.

Being slapped by this monster will definitely kill you! I really don't know what kind of mentality these dream stealers risk their lives just for the top position.

Taking advantage of the spare time created by the black cat, the red-haired boy withdrew his arm aimed at the dreamer, closed his hands with a "snap", and the temperature of the space pointed by his fingertips suddenly dropped sharply. The dreamer had no scruples and just threw his fist at it.

The moment the blue-purple flame hit the red-haired boy, the inconceivably low temperature rapidly radiated outward from the boy's palm, and the mist evaporated by the flame in the air instantly turned into granular ice chips, condensing into a scimitar-shaped sharp weapon , flew several times in the air, and chopped into the neck of the Dream Thief.

"Ahem! You..."

The round eyes stared ferociously at the red-haired boy, and blood spurted from his neck. The red-haired boy stretched his hand forward, dipping into the burst of blood.

"I saved you. You can be reborn if you are killed by me, and you are really dead if you are killed by the dreamer."

While speaking, the bloody curtain froze into dark red icicles. At this moment, the dreamer is also close to the distance of less than 2 meters behind the boy. The young man raised his hand, reached into the blood curtain and drew out a spear made of frozen blood, turned around and stabbed at the dreamer's chest.

Noticing that the dreamer raised his hand to hold the ice spear, the black cat immediately attached his hand to the ground. Suddenly, vines sprang up from the dreamer's back and ran up his legs, clung to him tightly and wanted to lift it up. Between the electric light and flint, the ice spear pierced straight into the rough skin of his chest.

The Dreamer whimpered and began to howl in pain. The ice spear spread across the chest, and its blue-gray skin gradually stiffened, covered with a layer of frost.

Before the Domination War started, Elus did tell me that the Dreamers have the power to completely kill us and make us unable to dream again. The red-haired boy said that he saved them, but there was no problem. It's just that he can fight him with concerted efforts, but he has to fight against him.

However, in this case, it is really hard to tell who is really willing to help. Here I still see a lot of people "kill the dreamer first together" on the surface, secretly taking advantage of the gap between the dreamer to hold back the other party, deliberately selling loopholes and taking the opportunity to get rid of the other party.

On the other hand, three dream stealers were held back by other dream keepers. The red-haired boy quickly and strenuously built an ice wall to block the direction where someone might chase him, and took advantage of this time to run deep into the woods. Fortunately, his ice wall didn't block our road together.

"Let's follow him!"

Keeping a certain distance from the red-haired boy, while avoiding the deliberately tripping branches in the dense forest, while paying attention to whether the dreamer is nearby, it is not easy to follow the boy. The trace of the red-haired boy disappeared from sight.

"Where did he go?"

Chart turned his head around and asked anxiously. Su Erin, who was standing behind him, inadvertently made eye contact with him for a brief moment, and she casually pointed to a strange hole in the much more spacious ground.

"Hmm... probably going here?"

After getting the suspected answer, Chalt curled his lips helplessly, as if he wanted to point out why she had such a timid attitude towards him, but he didn't say it.

Charte walked into the cave in three steps at a time. Xia Yinci and I looked at each other and followed after thinking about it. Looking back, when I was concerned about whether Su Erin had followed, I noticed that the black cat was standing there, and seemed to have no intention of following.

Just thinking about what was going on with her, Xia Yinci who was next to me suddenly turned around, the back of her right hand intertwined with the palm of her left hand and stretched forward, the abnormal gravity suddenly pushed me behind, and at the same time my body fell backward, A pair of cold pupils came into my field of vision.

It's the red-haired boy!

Could it be that he found out that someone was following him, deliberately faked the illusion of going out into the cave, and actually hid by the side and waited?

However, he didn't seem to expect that Xia Yinci would turn around suddenly, and the ice sword in his hand would accidentally fall backwards.

In the falling state, he clasped his hands in a ring shape and smashed to the ground. A purple icicle suddenly appeared in his hand and he stuck it into the ground. In this way, he prevented himself from following the abnormal gravity. After falling.

He found his center of gravity, focused his eyes on Xia Yinci who was standing at the entrance of the cave, and believed that she was the one who caused the gravitational change. Gravity kicked the silver-haired boy's chest with such force that he fell to the bushes faster than me.

Xia Yinci took advantage of this moment to gently lower her hands, and the gravity returned to its original state. She then helped Charte's back that fell towards her. And Su Huilin immediately kicked her feet to the ground to find a foothold and stood up. I also propped my feet back, slid on the ground for a certain distance, stopped, and turned around.

As I expected, although the red-haired boy fell on the stake, he recovered without any hesitation, wrapped a ring of icicles around his arm, and attacked in my direction. I quickly withdrew my hand to my side, and the light fragments floating in the air instantly condensed into a sickle.

After repeatedly confirming the strength of the scythe grip, I switched to the posture of clenching my hands and swung forward vigorously, splitting the attack formed by the boy's ice spikes.

This is the first time he used the weapon he used to participate in the domination war when he was a child after recovering his memory. I didn't feel comfortable, and I didn't want to emulate my former self. The idea of ​​using the scythe was purely conditioned.

Therefore, I couldn't keep up with the speed of the red-haired boy using ice. The body was in the same forward position as the sickle in my hand, and the boy was on the side of my arm, unable to attack with a backhand again, but his raised fist was covered with frost again, forming a dagger shape and stabbing my cheek.

Can't avoid it, can't block it. Even with my controlling ability, I can't create a turning point in this short moment.

As for the ability to freeze time, it has been severely restricted due to the recovery of memory. Now it is not sure whether it can be used smoothly in other people's dreams or in the gaps between dreams. After all, it is the effect caused by misusing the control ability.

If I were to fight alone, I would undoubtedly lose to him. but……

The moment the sharp ice dagger hit his cheek, his movements suddenly stopped in place, and he didn't make any further attacks. I hurriedly used this time to pull back and avoid his dagger. When I zoomed out, I realized that there were blue vines wrapped around his arms, restricting his movements.

Sure enough, whether it was Xia Yinci or the black cat, although they did things differently, they all started their actions on the premise that they realized that the red-haired boy was on defense.

"Tch...how many people are there?"

The red-haired boy's tone was filled with boredom. He turned his head to look at the vines on his left arm, and quickly covered the vines with his right hand. The sudden low temperature made the vines instantly freeze. He flicked his fingers towards the brittle vines, and the frozen vines split like glass in a second and fell off his arm.

Seemingly not finding the owner of the vine, he once again set his sights on me who was the closest, and rushed towards me. I knew that fighting him in close quarters would only be at a disadvantage, so I took a step back and prepared to distance myself. But at this moment, a burst of icy hostility suddenly hit my waist, and I couldn't help but stop.

"Hey, brother, what the hell are you doing?"

Seeing that the distance between the red-haired boy and me was getting closer, I suddenly stopped and did not continue to retreat. Su Huilin couldn't help but squeezed his fists and asked.

very good. Since she asked that, it meant that none of them saw someone standing behind me holding a knife against me.

"Don't move..."

The person behind said softly.

I see. He actually ran into the owner of this dream at such a time.

"Hey, Chart, right now~"

Suddenly, the voice of the black cat came from the direction of the woods, and the red-haired boy's eyes were instantly attracted by the black cat. I saw the ice shards in his palm gradually condense into a sharp shape, and then the floating ice shards dissipated in the next second, and I finally caught a glimpse of the figure behind him from the corner of my eye.

The red-haired boy obviously also noticed the invisible appearance, and took half a step back, his always cold expression was tinged with a little shock.

"Ah, it was discovered."

The dagger resting on his waist slashed up his back to his neck. At this moment, there was the sound of the dagger being kicked away, and Su Huilin grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back a few meters. Intangible doesn't look annoyed, as if even so the matter is still under his control.

"Thank you, I didn't expect to see such a wonderful show just after returning to my dreamland. Not only dream stealers..." At this point, his index finger turned from the red-haired boy to us, " Also, the intruder... If you are all handed over to the Thief King, then I will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

"Tch..." The red-haired boy glanced at him disdainfully, as if he had already made plans to kill even Wu Xing.

"Ah, bad, I accidentally ran into a perfect opportunity."

"With you alone, how can you catch us?"

Chart, who made the surroundings unusable, sneered and asked loudly.

"Just because... this is my dreamland."

As soon as the words fell, the invisible neck twisted for a week, as if he was doing warm-up exercises, and then he stretched out his hands to the sides casually, with a fierce smile on his face, and the roar appeared in the air along with the air waves. In all directions around us, dreamers of different shapes surrounded all of us layer by layer.

"You are no exception, Ye Yuan."

The red-haired boy named Ye Yuan was invisible and was constantly approaching by the dreamer, and he couldn't use his dominance ability, so he had to back up and pressed against my back. He immediately glanced over and raised his elbow It hit my chest, and I dodged his attack hastily.

"Hey! Now that you've been treated like a raccoon, can't you temporarily treat him as your only enemy?"

"I don't care about such things."

Realizing his stubbornness, I immediately distanced myself from him, and swung my scythe against the hurricane summoned by the dreamer. However, there was no way to block the attacks of so many dreamers, and he was swept up by a hurricane without paying attention, and finally broke free with all his life, just in time to bump into Chart who came out of the cave.

"Su Luoyang, you can manipulate the hands of the ruler's clock, right?"

Chart grabbed my elbow abruptly and asked me seriously. Although I hesitated what his intention was, I still shook my head and admitted it.

"Why are you saying this at a time like this?"

At this time, I noticed that Wuxing glanced at my direction playfully, and I quickly pulled Chart to hide in the cave. The strange wind and waves whizzed past the entrance of the cave in a second, and Chart and I immediately crawled on the ground , was not swept away by the hurricane.

"Listen, if you can turn the pointer to my number, that's my "Dominators' Time", the dominance should be increased. For me, the increase of dominators should be able to combine all the dominators erase."

"Can this kind of thing be done?" I couldn't believe it, and for a moment I forgot to care about the movement outside.

"Otherwise, do I have nothing to tease you? Losing the ability to dominate, even if it is short-lived, should cause the dreamer to shake the ruler. Because the dreamer guards the dream of the ruler, and the deeper step is the so-called subconscious !"

Our action this time was originally based on the absence of the owner of the dream. If we only deal with the dreamers, then so many of us can handle it, but now we are facing someone with far higher authority than the dreamers, the master of this dream.

Our ability to dominate is domination over a particular aspect, but skilled lucid dreamers can control dreams to nearly half a hundred percent. No matter what, Intangible is also an experienced lucid dreamer, and the degree of control over the dream will never be low. Even if we deal with him together, we will still be able to defeat him.

Sure enough, the only way to win against him is to temporarily invalidate Wuxing's control over the dream.

"Hey, two of you left and hid yourself. Why don't I give them a little punishment for you?"

Hearing the voice outside, I stopped hesitating and nodded my head at Charte, and now I had no choice but to give the opportunity to Charte.

"Then I'm counting on you!"

"Ah, leave it to me."

I closed my eyes and tried to feel the temperature of the pointer again, so I raised my hand according to my feeling and stayed on my chest.

The ears are full of distracting noises, and something is about to move in the depths of the cave.

"Let me think about it, which punishment is more suitable for you? Ah, I have an idea."

I resisted the thought of opening my eyes, and I tightened my fingers slightly, as if I really held the hands of the clock.

If this is the dominance ability called Imagination Clock...

The palm of my hand suddenly felt the edges and corners of the pointer. I found out the position of the pointer based on my hazy feeling, held the pointer uneasily, and turned clockwise towards the ten o'clock of the clock in my heart.

The hustle and bustle in the ear is getting louder and louder, the danger seems to be close at hand, and the scorching temperature is also burning in the palm of the hand at the moment the pendulum ticks.

"Okay, two friends, your punishment is coming~"

The strange airflow is oppressing in all directions, sweeping me with the momentum of swallowing me.

At this moment, a wonderful feeling rested on my waist, as if someone supported my body and took me out of danger.

"You're really annoying. As I said, don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future."

Covered with a frosted world, I opened my eyes in a daze.

Qianyan sat on the branch of a big tree, looking down at me from a high position, while swinging her legs casually. However, her eyes were not as cold as imagined, and her tone was only cold. Not only was she not unhappy, but there was a gentleness of "I can't do anything with you".

There is a soft light floating in the warm eyes, as if it would melt me.

Before I could react, the world returned to its original state, and the heat in my eye sockets, which seemed to be able to escape from flames, dissipated instantly.

"Tch... Teleportation? Or is time still? Anyway, it's a disappointing control ability..."

Intangible muttered to express his resentment. I found myself ten meters away from the cave.

Did Qianyan do it again?

In the distance, there are four bloody mouths behind Charte, as if his head will be bitten off in the next second.

And Chalt was stunned for a moment when he found my trace, and then he remembered what he should do. The pattern of the clock appeared in his eyes again. The fiery red light rushed from the center of the clock to the outside, and spread rapidly to the surroundings like an explosion. It brought an incredible amount of intense pressure to everyone, including me.

"What kind of annoying trick this time?!"

Intangible and irritated, he looked down at his body. The nearby dreamers also suddenly looked like robots that had lost control, and their pupils lost their highlights.

"What... what's going on?"

Seemingly aware of the abnormality nearby, Wu Xing took a step back immediately, swinging his hands back and forth in a panic, but the dream did not obey his control as he wished. I began to approach him step by step, and the invisible eyes immediately fell on me, and I kept stepping back.

I snapped my fingers lightly, and a world door leading to the dream world of the lower-level dream thief appeared behind the invisible. When he stepped back again, he leaned against the door, and his pupils flashed with surprise and unwillingness. Mind, body fell to the other side with the swinging door, and the closed door turned into particles and dissipated.

It wasn't until then that I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect the red-haired boy to flash in front of me, and he raised his knees up to my chest, and I didn't have time to complain about his stubbornness. I thought I would be knocked out by him like this, but an unexpected figure suddenly appeared and stood between us.

What surprised me even more was that the red-haired boy, who was clamoring to kill the opponent from the beginning to the end, actually held the offensive because of his appearance.

"Uru... black knight? How could you..."

The red-haired boy looked like he met an old friend, and the dark knight didn't seem to know him. I breathed a sigh of relief again, stepped back tiredly, and glanced at Su Erin, she also looked confused, it seems that she didn't find the Dark Knight intentionally.

"Sorry, I came out without authorization..." The black knight first bowed respectfully to Su Erin and apologized, then looked at the red-haired boy dotingly, he rubbed the boy's head roughly, "It really is you This kid. I don’t remember your ability to control ice so much.”

"Don't mess with me. That's because I don't want to be discovered by the dream thief, and I will be used."

The red-haired boy glanced aside and took a step back in disgust. Hearing the rare hearty laughter of the dark knight, he thought of something again, and sneaked a glance at the knight.

"Are you alright?"

"Do I look like I have something to do? Don't worry, thanks to the master, I live more comfortably than before." The black knight pointed to Su Erin, and said, "What's the matter with you, I don't think you are here for the superior This is hilarious."

"Of course not. After you were killed, that guy didn't give me a chance to meet him, so I had no choice but to take advantage of the chaos and go up to find him myself."

"What can a person do when he sees the King of Pirates of Dreams?" The black knight raised his hand knife and smacked the boy's head, and slowly moved his gaze towards us, "You take them with you, after all, your goals are the same You will never succeed if you don’t depend on anyone but me.”

The red-haired boy looked at us strangely, and always felt that his eyes stayed on me for a particularly long time. However, I can also understand, after all, after fighting for so long just now, now that the Dark Knight let him take us away, it will inevitably feel awkward, and I am the same.

More strictly speaking, I have no idea what the situation is now.

"Master, can you take this child with you?" The dark knight's eyes turned respectful again, and he asked Su Huilin with his palm on his chest, "He is also the child of the dream stealer I mentioned before. You have also been taken care of when you go to the Dream King's dream. Please take him with you..."

I don't understand how this guy can seamlessly switch modes, from the role of a suspected father to a knight who listens and respects perfectly.

"I can do it... But I don't make decisions about this kind of thing~" Su Erin said, looking at me, and added in a low voice, "And I don't understand what's going on with you at all. ...I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out~"

"Well, I don't think it's a problem. I'd be happy to have someone lead the way." As I spoke, I threw the topic to Xia Yinci, "Isn't it?"

For some reason, the moment I looked at Xia Yinci, her look at me changed from subtle yearning to "don't ask me, it has nothing to do with me", and she snorted pretendingly indifferently. Not only is it inexplicable to my longing, but the strategy just now was not thought of by me, and the indifferent attitude is also inexplicable.

At this time, Chart seemed to be preparing to step in and play the leading role, but just as he was about to speak, the black cat broke the deadlock of kicking the ball first.

"Okay~ We don't have an opinion."

When the gentle tone turned here, it turned cold.

"Unless...he acts aggressively towards us, then you can't blame my sister~"

Well, it turns out that half of the people here are characters of the "Attitude Changes in a Second" department.

"Charter, what did you seem to be trying to say just now?"

"In fact, I want to say that I want to go to William's side to see the situation. After all, there is one more person now, and there must be enough manpower. It's no problem to leave it to you."

Noticing that the people around him looked at him suspiciously, Chalt scratched his head helplessly, and added in a more serious tone:

"Don't look at me like that, I really, definitely don't mean to be a leader."

If you want to be a leader, just say it straight, repeatedly emphasizing that there is suspicion of covering up.

Forget it... I'll go back to reality too, let's save a file here.
