Chapter 642 Shifting Scales

"Gojo!" Mira shouted, rushing toward Gojo as she saw him flying toward the house, "You came back?"

"I mean, I'm here now," He smiled, "I would have preferred if you told me that Arad got kidnapped,"

"We tried contacting you yesterday," She replied, tilting her head. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Ah! It must've been when I was knocked out after fighting the titan chieftain of Iceberg," He scratched his head, "Sorry, I'm not used to keeping a communication line open. It was Vars's job."

"Knocked out?"

"I too have problems like Arad," Gojo smiled, "I do lose sometimes. It's just that when I come help Arad it's like him coming to help Ignis or someone else."

"Gojo!" Meryem rushed toward him, "It isn't over yet," She said as the chromatic dragons spread into the sky to search for the dream walkers.

"A second wave, I know," Gojo smiled, "The chromatics left me to deal with it here. Those monsters seem to have multiple colonies linked together in the ethereal realm that they can manifest in the mortal world underground." He looked down, his blue eyes glowing as his hair started waving, and sparks of blue magic crackled around his body like fairy dust.

"From what I could suck out of their brains," Gojo lifted his hands, combing his fingers, "There is a decoy colony around the city where Arad got kidnapped. There is one hosting Doma and another where Arad is being used as a power source to power their whole kingdom. You can think of each colony as a city in a kingdom with powerful fighters and a ruling noble that varies in strength."

The ground started shaking as they could feel the ants fight underground with the crawling army of the dream walkers.

"Don't worry. Those psychic monsters won't drag any of you into their dreamland as long as I'm here," He smiled, "They won't be staying here long enough afterward,"

The rumbling stopped as Gojo disappeared. Meryem gasped, "Hold on! All the dream walkers disappeared with him?!"

The other dream walkers froze in place, staring at the horrific scene.

"ARAD ISN'T HERE! YOU BUGS!" Sena growled, her voice booming across the whole city, growing harsher and deeper as her body twisted, turning into a massive monstrosity that the dream walkers' brains couldn't even process her horrifying shape.

For some, she looked like a massive ball of tentacles, for others, she looked like goo, and for most, they only saw a writhing mass of blood and teeth, gargling blood as it dripped magic from its countless eyes.

An ineffable monster, a creature so horrid their brains couldn't comprehend its existence. In the same way, people can't understand or comprehend the beauty of a nymph and end up blinded or dead, Sena's eldritch form, just like her father's, made those looking at her go insane from the horror it imposes.

The dream walkers started laughing in despair. They thought they had a chance. She looked like a normal human girl. But the reality was far worse than they could've ever imagined, "It's..." One of them gasped, but before he could finish, Sena stood alone on the surface, and only a massive hole remained where their colony was.

"Where is my Arad?!" She growled but soon saw someone standing behind her, "Sena, calm down," That voice sounded familiar, her brother Gray.

"Brother?" She turned, and he smiled, "You worried about Arad?"

"You know something?" She growled.

"I said calm down," He smiled, "I trusted his abilities enough to let you chase him. He isn't the kind of person you should be this worried about,"

"And what do you know about him?"

"That the dream walkers are having trouble sucking energy from him, and that he keeps flipping around like a baby in a cradle, messing their whole lab." Gray giggled, "Never expected my brother-in-law to be such a menace even at his current strength,"

Sena started to calm down, "If the dream walkers are here in the mortal world, that means their technology isn't advanced enough to contain a void dragon..." She shifted into her humanoid form, "They intended to siphon some energy from Arad and use that power to process ores into metals, then create better tools and equipment to suck even more power of Arad. But it seems the process is harder than they expected."

"For one reason," Gray giggled, "Putting Brother-in-law in a constant nightmare while keeping him in deep sleep caused him to develop a severe case of Somnambulism. I mean, they shouldn't have tried their method on a baby. It's normal that it's going to have a side effect."

"They don't know he's a baby," Sena gasped, "For all they know, he's thirty-five years old, young void dragon."
