◈ Episode 528 Middle Dream (1)
The dreamy characteristic of Abmong Syndrome was [Severance].
At first glance, the name might seem simple, but the story changes if you cut out all the objects without caring about their strength.
After approaching slowly with stealth that no one will notice, cut it as it is.
Syndrome’s ability was specialized in assassination.
But now.
For the first time, Syndrome’s stealth was discovered, and he couldn’t cut anything.
‘It’s understandable if you yield a hundred times until your stealth is exposed, but I can’t believe I just couldn’t cut a human… … .’
The power of severing the syndrome is due to dreams.
Dreams are the source of Dream Land and a very powerful force.
This dream is realized based on the user’s belief and imagination.
The word contradiction exists.
A spear that pierces everything and a shield that blocks everything.
What will happen if the two collide?
In Dreamland, the result is simple.
Whoever has more mental strength wins.
If you promise to cut anything, there is really nothing you can’t cut.
Even if it did, it failed.
‘Are you saying that this human’s mental strength is on par with me, a descendant of the dream?’
It was unacceptable.
How could a human subject have mental power equal to his own?
He is one of the five clans created by Nirva, the ruler of Dreamland.
It possesses power comparable to that of its adversaries in this world.
Syndrome’s hand moved.
The five blades attached to the fingertips caught the light and sparkled, each aiming at Alex from a different direction.
Like a snake seeking prey, the slashes flew while roaring.
An intense anticipation that penetrates the skin.
Alex calmly took a breath and straightened his sword.
Watching the flying slash, Alex’s sword drew a circle on the spot.
It was such a beautiful circle that it was difficult to draw even if I was told to draw it.
That perfect shape sucked in the slashes from Syndrome like a whirlpool.
The sucked slashes gathered in one place like twisting ropes, and stabbed the bottom of the woman.
[her?]
It was incomprehensible.
It’s amazing to block your own slashes, but this time, you let them flow naturally and collect them in one place?
While the syndrome startled, Alex thrust a sword into his exposed abdomen.
Quaang!
It was a light stab, but there was the sound of a cannon exploding.
Syndrome’s model flew backwards and landed on a large rock.
A huge crater formed in the rock and cracked.
The impact was not limited to rocks. The ground around the rock also cracked and scattered debris.
Seeing this, Violetta held her breath.
‘oh my god. I knew it was strong, but not to this extent. You said your skills improved in the meantime?’
The decisive role in Alex becoming stronger is probably the fact that he went to the elven forest with Ludger.
It is said that there was a great fight there, and it was clear that he had made progress through that fight.
Even so, Alex’s growth rate was unbelievable.
It was not for nothing that Rudger valued his talent highly.
“Hey, what are you doing there?”
Alex pointed his sword at Syndrome pinned to a rock and nodded.
“Are you going to stay nailed to the rock? Are you that comfortable? If that’s not the case, it’s only at this level, so was it that messy? Then it would be very disappointing.”
[…] … dare.]
A voice filled with rage boiled up in Syndrome’s helmet.
It feels like thick magma from deep underground is about to overflow.
Syndrome pulled himself out of the rock and lowered himself, ignoring the falling stone fragments.
Bu-wook.
Her crouched thighs inflated like balloons filled with wind.
Quaang!
With a powerful rise, the new type of syndrome was launched like a cannonball.
come.
The moment Alex was about to confront him with a sword, the image of the syndrome that had been cutting through the air disappeared as if it were melting.
that’s the secret
Alex’s eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
In the first place, it was not something you could see with your eyes.
Intuition, if you have to ask.
Should I say it feels like it’s tickling my brain?
Subconsciously, you recognize that there is something there.
Alex naturally broke Syndrome’s hiding in that way.
But this one wasn’t easy.

It was because the movement of the syndrome was too fast.
Even if you subconsciously try to locate him, the syndrome has already passed.
Alex’s head tightened.
It was self-evident that the best option would be to insert a counter at the moment of where he was going and what he was aiming for.
However, Alex rather tempered his momentum.
A relaxed smile formed on his lips, as if there was no tension at all.
Syndrome, which was speeding around, was silently enraged at the sight.
‘How dare you lower your sword?’
That expression was too intrusive to see that he had given up.
Isn’t it like saying that no matter how hard you try, you don’t care.
‘okay. If you really want to die like that, I will kill you.’
I completely gave up the idea of playing with it.
Syndrome moved quickly, approaching Alex’s blind spot and swinging his hand.
I was trying to wield it.
Quaang!
That is, until he collapsed from a huge shock that hit his back.
[Muh, what… … !]
Stealth was broken, and the body was slumped to the ground like a prostrate frog.
Alex turned his head to look at the syndrome at the roar he heard from behind.
“oh. Were you there?”
Syndrome couldn’t afford to react to Alex’s ridicule.
It was difficult to get up from the huge pressure on my back.
[This, this guy.]
It was only then that Syndrome was able to realize who was weighing it down.
A giant beastman, Pantos.
Syndrome, which was aiming for Alex, was reversed and hunted down as bait.
The best way to hunt prey is to cast an attractive bait.
Pantos was stepping on Syndrome’s back with his feet, but it was a bit strange to see the strength of the armor that was harder than expected.
“hmm.”
So it gave me more power.
Quick! Fall out!
Anyway, armor is armor. There was nothing that could not be broken.
Syndrome’s armor creaked as Pantos braced his legs.
cooong!
The ground where the syndrome was buried was dented once.
It looks as if only that part of the gravity has been excessively increased.
[Kuaaa!]
Syndrome screamed after realizing that Pantos was trying to kill him by stepping on him like an insect.
[How dare you try to kill me for being a cheeky beast?!]
It’s not even a fierce fight, it’s like stepping on your feet to death.
There was nothing more disgraceful than this.
Syndrome’s hands dug deep into the ground.
The moment Pantos saw it, he took his foot off Syndrome and leaped backwards.
Beast instinct warned.
Fuhuaak!
Like a volcano erupting from the ground centered on the syndrome, countless white slashes swarmed in all directions.
It was like a sight of pure white bone spikes rising indiscriminately.
“damage!”
Violetta shouted and ran away with Arpa and Bellaluna.
The slash relentlessly drove through a small area like a localized tornado.
Alex and Pantos were exactly within that range.
[I’ll make it with minced meat!]
Syndrome rose up in the whirlpool of blades.
Some time passed, and the whirlpool subsided.
It was an attack that would have split the body into hundreds of pieces if even the young ants were inside.
However, both Alex and Pantos were fine.
It wasn’t completely unscathed, so there were cuts all over the skin and torn clothes, but that’s all.
From the point of being alive in a situation where there is nothing strange about dying, it couldn’t be anything but mysterious.
[These?]
Syndrome once again hurt his pride.
Alex, even so, I didn’t know that Pantos would be fine.
The guy who dared to kill himself by stepping on him like an insect, standing there with his arms crossed, felt like his internal organs were twisted.
[I’ll cut you off first!]
The new type of syndrome disappeared as if it had gone out of place.
It was right in front of Pantos that reappeared.
Even then, Pantos stood still with arms crossed.
Syndrome’s hands swung away leaving afterimages.
Dozens of slashes in less than a second.
It was a sufficient attack to turn Pantos into a three-dimensional puzzle.
But Pantos was fine.
Rather, Syndrome was astonished at the fact that there was nothing left at the end of his hands.
[Uh, how… … .]
Pantos’s arms were untied before he knew it, and the sharp claw blades that Syndrome wielded were gripped in both hands.
Syndrome groaned at the incomprehensible sight.
What returned in return was the fist of Pantos.
Kwaaaang!
It was as if lightning had struck right in front of me.
Alex’s stabs were strong, but Pantos’ fists were even more destructive.
The epigastric region of the syndrome was bent into a fist shape.
As if Alex had been waiting for the bounced syndrome, he swung his sword from his seat.
Syndrome floundered and tried to fight back, but realized belatedly that the weapons in both hands were missing.
Let’s go!
Countless solid lines engraved in the air flowed through the armor of the syndrome.
An attack that cuts right through the seam of the armor.
Syndrome’s left side, which could not bear it, was cut off from the shoulder blade and fell off.
Alex whistled as he watched it.
“what. I thought you were wearing armor, but in fact the armor itself was your body, right?”
There was nothing inside Syndrome’s armor.
All that came out of the cut end was something like black smoke.
Syndrome is not the person wearing the armor, but the armor itself was part of his body.
[Turn it off.]
Syndrome could not respond to Alex’s provocation.
My body was completely broken, so I couldn’t afford it.
“what. After pretending to be so proud, is this the end?”
[This, this cheeky human bastard!]
The mouth of Syndrome’s helmet, which had only a flat hole, gaped open.
Fragments of armor fluttered around the corner of his mouth that was forcibly opened.
Syndrome’s body began to swell greatly.
Even though the armor should not have elasticity, the muscles grew as if bulking up.
Black smoke billowed from the cross section of the arm, and the severed arm regenerated.
Several horns grew from the top of Helm’s head, and even the nails broken by Pantos grew longer and more vicious.
[You can be happy. You guys are the first to show off this power!]
Even though he only opened his mouth, his voice sounded like a storm.
Every time he uttered a word, a huge air wave spread out in concentric circles.
The earth around them shook and the sky rang.
A great power that shakes the whole world with just one voice.
Alex frowned at the sight, which was quite the opposite of what he had shown before.
“That, no matter how you look at it, looks like overdoing it.”
[okay. I won’t deny it. Now that I burn all my strength, I only have about 10 minutes of life left.]
Syndrome honestly admitted that he might have heard Alex’s voice in the midst of the binge drinking.
[But what does that mean?]
It was an act of admitting one’s weakness to the enemy, but the syndrome did not care.
[Now I can slaughter all of you in 5 minutes!]
Syndrome opened her chest wide and spread her nails like a peac*ck’s tail.
His berserk dream soared into the sky and formed a pillar.
Alex and Pantos did not get discouraged even after seeing such a syndrome.
The two of them took a combat stance without saying who came first.
[I’ll kill them all!]
Syndrome jumped out of its seat and rushed at the two.
and.
[This, how can it be.]
A half-destroyed sky island.
As if a world war had occurred, countless craters filled the surroundings.
Among them, Syndrome collapsed at the center of an exceptionally huge crater.
There were fist marks and sword scars all over the gigantic body.
One leg was cut off, and one arm was crushed.
irreversible wounds.
Leaving that syndrome behind, Alex and Pantos joined the party.
“How long did it take?”
“hmm. I don’t know because I haven’t seen it again.”
“About 3 minutes? Was that enough?”
“Beat it like that.”
It was exactly 2 minutes and 42 seconds.
The final skill that the dream family exerted by squeezing all their strength.
The two, who overpowered it so easily, were exchanging leisurely conversations as usual.
Syndrome couldn’t even be angry at the appearance of those two.
Now that his life was at stake, he couldn’t even afford to do that.
[iced coffee. Mr. Nirva.]
Syndrome’s body became golden powder and scattered.
Franz, wearing a black hood, muttered in disbelief to the two who had subdued the dreamers like that.
“What are you guys really like?”
Suddenly, I remembered what Zero Order had said.
Did I mention there is someone in Dreamland who can help you?
I didn’t think much of it, but I don’t think it was.
“Is our identity that important? Or should I just go ahead and introduce myself?”
“… … but. I’m in the same position, but I said something useless. let’s go right down You have to be careful from now on, so focus.”
Franz issued a warning to everyone.
“From now on, I will go to the middle of the middle layer.”
* * *
“here is… … .”
Sedina was speechless at the scene unfolding before her eyes.
It was the same with Hans and Sheridan.
Beneath the endlessly stretched sky island, the sea existed as if it were natural.
But it was different from the normal sea.
First of all, there was no wind, and there were no waves.
It was so calm that I felt like I was looking at the lake of dawn, or beyond that, the largest and most transparent glass in the world.
A place that evokes a strange feeling just by looking at it.
“It is the entrance to the middle. In fact, it can be said that it is the halfway point of Dreamland from the surface.”
Looking at the bizarrely quiet water surface, an unknown fear came over me.
The water was calm, but it seemed like a huge storm was raging below.
Even if you just dip your feet in, it feels like you’ll be sucked into the top of your head in an instant.
If there was any fear, it should have stopped here.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Tongue, brother. Are you really going down? Wouldn’t it be better to wait for the others to join us here?”
“The moment you descend to the surface, joining is meaningless. Don’t you know?”
“that… … .”
Hans had no words of rebuttal.
I knew better than anyone else that just because a lot of people gathered, this place would not become safer.
“Do you remember what to be careful of when going there?”
“Don’t get carried away by anything. I don’t know what the hell that means.”
“I just heard that too. You’ll have to go inside to know the details.”
The warning that Julia gave to Rudger in case he went down to the central region.
-Don’t be possessed by anything.
