A camping sight was created inside the Dreamscape.
Eren and Nina got clothed again. It was as if the extended sessions they had groping each other's bodies were nothing but the figment of one's imagination.
Eren gathered the ingredients and skewered the meat and vegetables, seasoning them meticulously.
The fire crackled, casting a warm glow and filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.
As he worked, Eren kept the conversation light, teasing Nina about her odd habits and reminiscing.
"It's... it's like we never left the City of Osan."
Nina watched him, a smile playing on her lips. She appreciated the effort Eren put into creating these moments.
It was evident that he understood her preferences, making the Dreamscape feel as real and special as possible.
Once the kebabs were perfectly grilled, Eren handed one to Nina. She took a bite and closed her eyes, savoring the flavors. "Delicious," she said, opening her eyes to meet his.
"I'm the best chef in the whole of Anfang when it comes to making kebabs," Eren bragged shamelessly with a proud smile on his face, sitting down beside her. He took a bite of his kebab and looked up at the stars, which shone brightly in the clear Dreamscape sky.
They ate in comfortable silence for a while, enjoying the serene atmosphere. The fire crackled softly, and the sounds of the forest around them added to the sense of tranquility.
After they finished their meal, Eren leaned back, propping himself up on one elbow as he looked at Nina. "You know what I found out after leaving Anfang?"
"I'm listening," Nina said, curious about what Eren had to say.
"It's that you only miss home when you can't go back to it with a flick of fingers," Eren said as he looked at the sky that mimicked Anfang's heaven.
One could say that all the skies across a myriad of worlds were all the same. And it might be true to some extent. However, Eren could feel that there was something different about his home world and the world of Labh Salem.
He felt that he was still treated as an outsider by Labh Salem's World Will. so when he looked at Labh Salem's skies, they all felt different to him. It was just a feeling. But sometimes, these feelings mattered a lot when it came to wielding the intent-based magic.
"I miss being home. Just being with you, without any interruptions or dangers lurking around," Eren said, taking a deep breath.
Nina nodded, her eyes reflecting the firelight. "I guess I will miss Anfang too when I leave for Echidna."
Eren reached out and took her hand, his thumb gently caressing her skin.
"Keke. Maybe I can meet you in Echidna when I'm finally done with all my affairs in Labh Salem? I... I don't know. But let's just say that I'll try to head in that direction for the most part," Eren said while looking at the stars.
He then looked at Nina before adding further. "Anyway. No matter where we are or what we're facing, I want you to know that you're always in my thoughts. And now, in this Dreamscape, we can have moments like this whenever we want."
Nina squeezed his hand, her heart swelling with affection. "I guess you are going to give me wet dreams from now on, you horny devil," she teased.
"Kekeke."
Eren chuckled and pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. He stepped forward to claim her lips in a passionate kiss.
Nina moaned softly into Eren's mouth, her own hands wandering down to explore his hard, throbbing cock. She wrapped her fingers around his shaft, gently stroking him as they continued to kiss.
Eren, his eyes locked onto Nina's, nodded in agreement. As his climax approached, he pulled out of Nina's pussy, his cock throbbing with need.
"Ummmm!"
Nina, eager to please, quickly wrapped her lips around the head of Eren's cock, sucking it deep into her mouth.
"Arrgh damn!"
Eren groaned, his fingers tangling in Nina's hair as she began to suck him off with a fierce intensity.
As Eren's orgasm approached, he felt Nina's hands cupping his balls, her fingers gently massaging them. The sensation was overwhelming, driving Eren closer to the edge.
"Hmmm. That's it. Keep going," he urged.
Nina, her eyes locked onto Eren's, nodded her understanding. As Eren's cock began to spasm, she sucked him harder, her lips wrapped tightly around his shaft as she swallowed every last drop of his cum.
Eren, his body trembling with pleasure, collapsed onto the soft earth beside Nina. They lay there for a moment, their breathing heavy and their bodies slick with sweat.
This time, both Eren and Nina felt that their Spirit Force was exhausted. Even though the Dreamscape did not have the limitations of the flesh, it still consumed their Spirit Force.
"That was incredible, Eren," Nina murmured, her voice filled with awe. "I feel like staying in this Dreamscape forever."
Eren, his eyes filled with tenderness, reached out to stroke Nina's cheek.
"I... I feel the same," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "But a dream, no matter how long it is, has to end somehow. Don't worry though. We will one day be able to shape reality just the way we wanted to be," he assured her.
***
A few days later.
Labh Salem.
Eren opened his eyes and found himself below Freya's deck, locked in his own room.
He had just finished establishing connections with several of his women by pulling their consciousnesses into the Dreamscape one at a time.
He was physically fit but mentally tired.
However, his mental exhaustion didn't stop him from feeling excited about the Empusas he was about to create using the consciousnesses of his women as templates.
Eren activated the Yantra and created many magical circles around him. With a wave of his hands, he manifested various wisps he had obtained from his women, sending them to their designated magic circles.
In the next moment, potent mana fluctuations occurred as several Empusas began to manifest simultaneously.
The butcher watched with a wide grin on his face as he saw a group of Empusas staring at him with a range of expressions.
