Chapter 1205: That's More EXP Than I Imagined

Chapter 1205: That's More EXP Than I Imagined



After finishing the Nightmare Realm and finally coming out after a very unexpected appearance of a Nightmare Demon, we regrouped with the rest of my party. A few things had happened, especially with Emeraldine's party, while the one led by Lucifer was fine even when Trauma type Nightmares appeared, which are all equal to SSS Rank, with Emeraldine it was a bit harder because she had to take them down on her own, her "elf friends" were very cowardly and they had even run away, leaving her behind.

Well, I can't really blame them, those things are really creepy and strong, but come on! Not even Alma or Emily ran away with us... then again, whatever. I helped Emeraldine using my ego and allowed her to return triumphantly with the big nightmare cores. Once we regrouped, the students wouldn't stop talking, and while doing all of that, I noticed quite a few notifications.

System notifications.

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated hundreds of [Nightmares (S Rank ~ SS Rank)] and Nine [Trauma Nightmares (SSS Rank)]!]

[You earned a large quantity of EXP!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 247 to Level 252/300!]

[All your Stats have increased! You gained bonus System Points.]

[Some of your skills have Leveled Up!]

[You acquired the [Nightmare Slayer: Lv1] Title Skill!]

[You learned the [Dream Heart Weapon: Lv1] Characteristic Skill!]

Damn, I gained more EXP than I imagined! Nightmare Slayer Title, and even some new Skill about Dream Heart Weapons!

This is pretty interesting, so I can keep learning skills even while being below this trial's "rules" and this world's "laws".

Maybe because of my System?

Well anyways, there were a few other things...

[Story Character: [Emily] has grown stronger due to the resolve you've given to her!]

[You gained +300 Friendship Points.]

[Story Character: [Alma] has grown stronger and discovered her Offensive-type Spells thanks to the resolve she has gained from Emily, directly involved from your own influence!]

[You gained +300 Friendship Points.]

Ding!

[You and your party have surprised the Story Character: [Professor Hendrick Constance] due to your great achievements so far! His affinity with you and the rest of your party has increased.]

[You gained +500 Friendship Points.]

Oh nice.

"I'll have to report this immediately to the director and also to the government authorities. I had believed these Realms were safe for students at a certain level, but this is... If it wasn't because you are all exceptionally talented, it would have ended much worse."

He wasn't wrong, this was certainly something normal at all! I believe the "story" of this world is related to what happened to us, someone must be plotting the death of the students of this academy, which raises Dream Guardians to protect people from Nightmares.

"I'm honestly worried, Professor..." I said. "Hasn't the other students taken a while? Only half had returned so far and the day's about to end."

"Hmm..." the Professor grew more worried, until suddenly, a single student, covered on wounds and bleeding, came running out of one of the doors.

"Haahh...! S-Someone help...! Help me!"

The young student, a boy with short black hair and a small complexion fell to the floor, missing a whole arm and with holes over his legs, it was a miracle he crawled out!

"Emeraldine! Alma!"

"Yes!"

"A-Ah, right!"

I called the two of them as they ran by my side, they quickly started healing the student, who

was semi-conscious, constantly talking.

"This is... Student David?!" wondered the Professor. "Why didn't you ring the alarm so someone could go rescue you?! What happened!"

"T-The alarm didn't work!" cried the young man. "T-They got them...! A bunch of Trauma... Trauma Nightmares appeared! My friends... Oh no! They're all dead! I-I...! Ahhh...! Nooo!"

He started screaming, growing madder in between tears, whatever he saw, it was terrifying.

With five more Nightmare Realms left to be completed, we had to act quickly before more students fell to this scheme!

"I'll have to quickly report to authorities, please wait here!"

As the professor immediately ran away, I quickly decided to act on my own.

"Alright, I guess it's up to me..."

I divided myself into five more egos, sending them to the different Nightmare Realms as

quickly as I could, accompanied by many undead carried in their shadows.

I have to hurry!
