Chapter 643 Meltdown And Fall Of The King
"His mental energy is spiking above what we can absorb!" A dream walker shouted as the magic circles in front of him burned, bursting at his face.
"Damn it! What's happening in that dream?" Another growled, taking a peak at the nightmare they gave to Arad. It's already been a week with him trapped in there. They did start it, but how it develops could go past their control.
The moment they looked inside, they saw Arad flying across the sky, roaring in rage and despair, blasting the elvish kingdom with his breath as the elves shifted into dream walkers.
CRACK! Arad's arm jolted, ripping their chains off and shattering them in the blink of an eye, sending a shard of metal flying toward one of the dream walkers, almost blinding him.
"Where are the casters? We need to paralyze his body again!" The dream walker shouted, calling reinforcement.
The casters lifted their hands above Arad, casting their magic while sweating black goo, "It's no use. His body already adapted to it. We can't paralyze him anymore with our spells."
Arad's body jolted once again, shattering the shackles on his legs, sending shards of metal toward the casters, dropping two of them with grave injuries.
Void crackled from his skin, sucking air in and releasing it in a shockwave, shaking the whole lab.
"We should kill him!" One of the dream walkers cried, "Without current equipment, we can't keep a young void dragon chained,"
"Where is the scout team? When will they bring the dragon sealing chains?" Another cried.
"They didn't find any," A voice replied from the walls.
"Send more people to search!" The dream walkers tending to Arad cried, "We can't contain him for longer! He's destroying the whole lab!"
"Figure something out! You casters create a stronger paralyze spell and keep him down for a day or two. We're short on people right now,"
"They come here and help!" As the dream walker screamed, Arad growled in the back, struggling on the metallic bed he's been chained onto for the past week.
"Shit!" The dream walker cried, rushing to pull a scroll, but was interrupted by a blast emanating from Arad, messing the whole lab.
"AAAA!" Arad screamed, his whole body jolted as the struggles in the dream reached reality.
Instead of sweating like most humans when struggling with a nightmare, Arad was a dragon, and his scales sweated his void out instead, sucking the air and releasing it as multiple blasts, trashing the whole lab and shaking the dream walker's kingdoms.
"Fuck it!" A dream walker cried, "I'm getting out of here. He's getting out of control!" He turned to run away, but at that moment darkness engulfed Arad's body, violently sucking air and everything in the lab into his stomach.
The dream walkers held for dear life to the walls, looking back as they saw their precious equipment get pulverized into dust as it got absorbed into Arad's stomach.
The wall was stripped off, and the dream walker holding into it got sucked into Arad's stomach. Like an elephant forced through a needle, his whole body burst into a splatter of blood as it disappeared into Arad's void.
"Call everyone! The void dragon is getting out of control and might wake up! We need to knock him out again!" One of the remaining dream walkers screamed into a small crystal ball.
The ceiling cracked from the repeated blasts and low pressure caused by Arad's void, and a massive boulder fell down, hitting Arad on the face.
Arad's eyes opened up, confused between dream and reality, he instantly transformed into his draconic form.
The lab got crushed by Arad's massive bulk, killing everyone inside. Being confused, and now finding himself locked in what amounts to a tight jar for a human, Arad roared his lungs out, unleashing his void breath in the enclosed space.

With a massive plasma burst, Angus rolled on the ground, his whole body charred into charcoal as Eris walked toward him, "Would you die already?" She growled, the whole area around them burned and was ravaged by explosion holes.
"Do you never get tired?" Agnus growled as his limbs slowly crumbled.
As Eris stared at him, her wounds instantly healed, "Since when do vampires get tired?" She said.
"I see," Angus giggled, "I never stood a chance..." He died.
Eris sighed and looked back, seeing the girls were about to finish the last dream walkers running away.
"To think I only killed one," She sighed.
"I won't say one," Claug stared at her, "Several dream walkers died as collateral damage to your fight," She pointed to the back with her claw and Eris could see several charred corpses where her explosions and holy expansion were released.
"That white one you killed was at least four times stronger than the black ones, he's chosen of his race. Like how high humans are to humans and high elves to elves." Claug waved her claw to the other girls, "Come here when you finish! I'll dig for us to reach the colony and save Doma,"
"Leave them," Kayden said, standing up, "Everyone, gather beneath Claug!" He shouted, jumping from her head and landing behind everyone.
Ginger woke Alcott and everyone rushed to stand beneath Claug.
"What's going on?" Nina asked, "Did you notice something?" Alcott stared at him, he knew Kayden was powerful enough to beat Nina with one strike, making him a swordsman that even he couldn't win against.
"Their king is coming, and that big dog is for me to cut," He stood there, silently watching the ground.
"I see!" A loud voice rumbled from beneath the ground as a massive titan shattered the earth. "It's you!"
Kayden blinked, "Do I know you?"
"You killed grandfather's entire kingdom just to train in the abyss!" The massive titan of a dream walker shouted, his voice even hurting Claug's ears. "And now you come to kill my children!"
"Those aren't children. They are monsters," Kayden stared at Dream Walker King with a passive face. "Right?" He turned toward Kali who stood above Claug's head.
"Abomination spawn aren't children. If they were, they would be under my protection," She lifted her foot and tapped it down.
"Stomp them, squish squish." She smiled, "They harmed a child," She stared at the king with her eyes glowing with a disturbing pink flame, her words referred to Arad.
"What's that thing?" Eris gasped.
"Just by magic," Claug growled, "He's several times the red great wyrms I saw in my life. I doubt he's lost in strength as well,"
"This is the main problem about those abominations," Kali stared at Eris, "The small ones are powerful mind manipulators, but this big one is the true danger, the elder brain that all their collective consciousness flows through. His physical and mental power is equal to the combined power of all the small ones under him," She smiled, "All of that power, at once."
"All of the dream walkers combined? Won't that make have stats in the tens of thousands?"
Kali scratched her head, "They are monsters from outside this world that operate with their own laws and limits. But I'm certain they aren't a part of the system, that's only for mortals to use and is managed by the archon Aria," She smiled, "I don't know, but he's strong enough to not be something that should exist in the mortal world,"
"You keep talking..." The dream walker king growled, but soon he froze, his body splitting in half from head to groin.
"Sorry," Kayden looked at his drawn sword, "I only wanted to smack you away,"
"You should've been more careful. That thing lived in the mortal world. He couldn't have more minions than the ones that lived in the abyss." Kali sighed, "We'll catch another one if we found it,"
Kayden sheathed his sword, pulled a small cube, and threw it at the king's corpse, "I hope she'll pay a bit for the corpse. The orphans need the money,"
