Chapter 19: The Last Day on earth..
today was the last day of my class. I have learned everything Teacher Julius has taught me, and I also went into the Dark Souls system and challenged mini-bosses, as they will be way better than even a mob of 50000 I had before. In the end, I did not challenge any real bosses, as I don't want to completely go insane. It's not been a long time since I had my dying streak, and Sunny and I are now a little closer than before. We are not total strangers, but we still won't eat together as he eats like a pig.
I am saving souls so I can buy spells. I can't wait to buy Lightning Strike; I will be ecstatic using my favorite spells. But they are priced so high I have to grind for some time to get them. Once they're here, it's game over for weaker monsters and good to kill and damage stronger monsters too. But now, I must first go to one last class, as today is no combat class. Well, we are all too sleepy to have any class; it's just a goodbye and some parting advice. I respect the man who has taught us so many things that are going to save my life.
As I made my way toward the class, I looked in the distance, and it looks like Sunny is also coming. Well, good, it won't waste time, plus I was really sleepy. It happens when you must go into the Dream realm and what part of it we end up in, who knows. This is why it was very dangerous. If we die there, it's over, but it's also better than dying in a nightmare, as no monster will come out. Well, now it was time.
"So, are you prepared to go into the Dream realm? It can be dangerous. You weren't even in combat class. Do you even know how to fight even a little?" I asked Sunny as we were going into the class. I can see my questioning made him angry, but he has to answer me no matter what, and he will tell me the truth, as he is the most honest person.
"You should worry about yourself. I can kill a tyrant with just my spit, so you shouldn't worry about me. I can fight like a shadow." Hmm, he did not lie, but it was also not an answer that told me anything. Even after spending weeks together, he kept his act up and was on guard. Well, it won't last long, so I rolled my eyes.
"You should know I have already killed many demons and devils and even a corrupted tyrant, so you don't have to care about me at all. I can kill whatever comes my way." I lied a little, as I had watchers, never killed anything alone, but he did not have to know so soon. Well, if he wants to do a bragging match, I will win, and I can see he was making faces behind me. What a brat.
"Come, young men. Today is the last day on Earth for you today, and today there will be no lessons. I am proud of both of you as you have learned more than I thought you can in 4 weeks and applaud to you, Asmon, even having 2 courses you did not fall behind." Well, after that, he just retold about the things we have to be careful of and finally, with a smile, he said goodbye to us.
Now, we are both going into the medical wing to go on the beds where our bodies will be kept. Of course, I am not leaving my body alone but with a small slime which will warn me if anything was wrong here, and I will summon Watchers here if something happens. Well, it won't come to that if the future I know is true. The medical wing was a state-of-the-art facility with a bunch of healers and even Awakened to protect us. But it all will be useless if a Grade 4 or even 3 opens here. Well, they are not that common right now, at least.
But first, we were led by Awakened Rock to a different part of the wing where there were people sitting on wheelchairs looking peacefully in sleep. But I know what they are—hollows. They have lost their souls to the Nightmare, so their body is without a soul, alive but dead. They won't wake up. Nephis's mother is also a hollow; she lost her soul in a Grade 5 gate which destroyed an entire continent.
So after walking around, Awakened Rock told us about these Awakened and how they have lost their souls. Some were even really powerful too. He was showing us the consequence if we failed, so we will be fearful about our life and won't forget. After weeks of training where we are going, it was not going to be easy. It was a good move on their part, but going into the Dream realm without a Saint's anchor is always a gamble. We won't go where I was hoping we will go but somehow end up in a zone where even I will die.
After giving us the speech, we are all ready and too sleepy. We make it to the medical facility, and I get on my bed and connect myself to the machines that will keep me alive and monitor me. While I was getting connected, I summoned a small black slime and made it sink into my bed frame. It was made of metal. Now, I was ready to go into the Dream realm, and I finally closed my eyes.
Now, in the vast echoing darkness, he heard:
[Welcome to the Dream Realm, Asmon!]
