Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army - Chapter 446: watched
As the lord of Dreamscape, Yunan felt everything as the divine realm grew invigorated, it was on the correct path to its past glory, recovering from the immense losses of dream energy and dream creatures, now, all it had to do was absorb this dream energy of unmatchable purity.
Yunan knew for certain that even the Primordial of dreams wouldn’t have such pure energy, why? Because the energy was actively reinforcing Dreamscape even before it was absorbed.
There was a tiny resonance between the dream energies, that little bit of resonance made the purer dream energy strengthen that of Dreamscape. Leading the already wonderful divine realm to become something more, something better, something new.
While Yunan was still relishing in the possible awesomeness of the under-improvement Dreamscape, it was all of a sudden that he felt someone watching him, moving his eyes to the source, he found a ball of inconspicuous light, it looked like it was part of the dream energy surrounding the strange dream universe, Yunan would have completely missed it if he was not super sensitive to being watched.
Being hunted by Bai and Lucian was enough to make him feel it when someone was observing him, even casually, add in the fact that Yunan had the skill Lucky cover, being focused on by anything was nearly impossible, even the over-gods failed to find him when he was not even activating the skill, therefore, being noticed when he was not deliberately showing himself was very unusual.
The ball of light seemed to be merely observing Yunan, Tasha did not even realise anything, making him sure he was the target, especially since the gaze was capable of seeing through the border of a divine realm like Dreamscape.
If it was any other day, Yunan would assume the ball of light to be merely a curious creature that was attuned to dream energy, but not today, his karmic luck has been sitting unused for so long and today, he had this intuition that it was about taking action.
The ball of light played the role of the curious creature very well, Yunan knew this because no curious creature would simply watch with intent in its gaze, less than sentient beings would usually watch for the sake of watching when curious about something, the intent in its gaze betrayed the light ball as a sentient being, one that was planing on something strong enough to trigger the long-dormant karmic luck, whether good or bad, Yunan had to wait and see.
A preemptive strike was possible but Yunan did not want to antagonize anyone, unless they acted against him first, otherwise, he would be triggering his own karmic luck against himself, at best there will be only some loss of luck, at worst, a full-blown retaliation, Yunan knew better than to risk his karmic luck.
Thinking about the things he did recently, he did not know how much luck and karma he had accumulated, just the amount of lives he spared through peaceful negotiation with a universe and the annihilation of another was already beyond count, how many generations of people get to be born and live decently thanks to his actions, the answer may shock you, so I will keep it a secret, hehe.
The ball of light had no trouble infiltrating Dreamscape, there was no alarm nor was there any reaction, Dreamscape must have deemed the creature with superior dream energy as an ally or a beneficial guest, even so, Yunan did not disregard the possibility that Dreamscape was not even aware it was being infiltrated. As a divine realm, failing to witness an intrusion was extremely worrisome.
Yunan took off his eyes and spiritual awareness from the ball of light, this being was too strong, no matter how things went, Yunan could only escape at best, he would have to sacrifice Dreamscape and Tasha for even that to happen.
Seeing that Yunan pulled his monitoring away, the light ball shivered for a few seconds before it resumed a flawless spherical look, it made a few revolutions around Yunan then audibly began to mutter to itself, startling Tasha out of her thoughts.
“Interesting, very interesting, hohoho, to think such a little miracle could exist, hmm hmm, oh, what is this, a mission that armies would refrain from is taken by a single man, how marvellous, this is the best, so much to read, so intriguing”
The ball of light was using dream energy to communicate, not the common language, although it sounded like a voice, it was more like a projection of thought, whoever was taking the form of the light ball was just thinking loudly.
Tasha looked at Yunan as if asking for permission to attack but he shook his head, being this powerful were better not poked in the nose, being in that situation himself more than once, Yunan was aware how it felt to be looked down upon.
he was very aware of he compared to the ball of light, Yunan was only sure of escape because this kind of being would be restricted to an environment rich in pure dream energy, that was how the being was closely related to the dream energy.
“Since you have made it to my doorstep why not come inside, your little shuttle will benefit so much, how about it, we can have tea and biscuits, and we can talk about so many interesting and new things, it has been too long, too long, now come, don’t be shy, you are my dearest guests, I won’t be bored for a few million years with you kids around, hehehe.”
The ball of light did not even expect an answer, it immediately shepherded the two and their realm into the dream universe, willing or not, did not seem to be a problem, Yunan was so sure he could escape before, but not anymore, after a few futile tries, he could only bide his time.
The force applied on the Yunan and Tasha was very gentle but irresistible none the less, Yunan knew he could not run away now, but there must be a moment for him later on, he decided that if things turned sour, he would burn as much luck and karma as he could, even inviting bad luck and karma was not out of the realm of possibility, as long as he could leave the place alive.
