Chapter 196: Dream or nightmare?

Everyone apart from me then fell unconscious, including my bonds, before dissipating into dust. Morpheus' eyes then turned serious as he stared directly at me.

"Just cuz you're my bro, doesn't mean that I'll be going easy on you" he sneered "You can inform your bonds how my lessons go later, but for now...it's time to start your training"

"That's a complete 180 of what you were, maybe your training is going to be hard after all"

"Well, it will definitely make you question whether this is a dream or a nightmare"

Everyone excluding Perseus then woke up in Vlad's bedroom.

-Why isn't Perseus awake?- Dabria asked

-One of his brothers appeared and thought it was a great time to train him- Siege answered

-Yeah, it was Morpheus, the god of dreams- Diana added

-Well I wish him luck since even with the help of my brother, I don't think we would even be able to match the strength of Morpheus- Dabria said

"Who the hell was that guy?!" Vlad asked "I've never sensed someone so...powerful. He's...stronger than Urie, his presence is gentle and relaxing, but...Silver's in danger"

"Be more specific" Damon responded "We are Silvers too"

"Well he was very handsome, but where is he? Why isn't he in the vicinity?" Lillian asked as Natalie helped her up

"How the hell did he break in without me noticing is the question. What the hell is he?!" Vlad demanded

"Just chill" Ace responded "Knowing won't help you either, no one is this room is powerful enough to stop him"

"I'm trying to use dream magic too, but it seems like I can neither pull him out nor go into his dream" Stella said as she watched over the sleeping Perseus

"Hey Elektra, what do you want?" Colden asked "Why do you ask to meet me in his meeting spot?"

"That Perseus Silver of yours, he has recently received another god's protection" Elektra answered

"You mean that remnant?"

"No, a new god, if you observe his body now, you will know. I can sense the presence of Morpheus on him" Elektra shook her head "And if Morpheus is making direct contact with him, chances are that there is one more god behind him"

"Shit" Colden cursed "That means that...fuck! And here I thought that we can finish this without their help"

I woke up groggily and find myself in my castle's bedroom.

-How long was I out?-

-Well tomorrow is the day where you carry out your mission- Dabria answered

-We went to get the 3 already, they're downstairs in the dining area- Ace added

-Richard also insisted on coming along with the saint, so we brought him too- Damon said

-Fuck that training, makes me no longer want I'll sleep ever again-

-What happened?- Diana asked

-He made me relived my current life several times, that piece of shit, I had Colden killed me several times in that dream-

*****

I got into my dining area which is filled with guests. My underlings, Stella...etc. Man why is there so many characters in one room, 3rd person view narrator, can you take this over for me? I'm so lazy to narrate that many names.

| He's mowing my lawn, so no. Oi why are you calling for help?! Stop that! |

-I feel bad for him- Dabria sighs

Damn it, so many names, hard to remember.

"Hey Perseus, how'd you enjoy your sleep?" Marella asked "From the looks of it, it doesn't look like you did"

"I didn't, you're right"

"Well to think that you became a prince while you were gone, pretty impressive" Richard complemented

"Well I hope you guys are excited since tomorrow, we will get to fight some of the strongest guys in the world" Ace cheered

"Well my job here is to protect the saint, while you eliminate the beast" Richard responded "It seems strong if you even called Jake over"

"The beast isn't the problem" Jake responded "It's the ones who are summoning it"

"I can handle Arthur" Stella said "Unless any of you want to, we also have to leave him alive unlike his executives, we are free to kill them."

"Well we have to leave him alive since he's the only one within their organization that knows the location of the rest of the beasts. But after my training, I think I can do so much more surprising things this time"

"Oh when can I meet that handsome brother of yours again?" Lillian asked "Was he into me?"

"Please do not bring him up. But trust me, his type is the ones who will stay with you for a year at most, you don't want him"

-And one year would be the case if only he gets her pregnant- Siege added

-Well if it's Zeus, he'll get her pregnant and leave the next day- Ace chuckled

-If she bear your nephew or niece, does it make us bonds his uncles and aunties?- Diana asked

-I honestly don't know, but please know that I love you all very much. Reliving my life several time really made me appreciate your tolerance towards my annoying behaviors from time to time-

-Hear that brother, I made him a better person like I promised- Diana taunted Damon

"I look forward to your performance this time, my son" Urie said "Last time, you can stop time for a second, what will you do for us when the fighting ensues?"

"Annoy the shit out of my opponents"

"Well I used my power to see the present to see this Arthur person and shared it with the shaman, Arya here" Marella said "Be careful"

"Yes, he is very angry with you in particular" Arya laughed "I can read his thoughts for a bit, he knows that you will go for him, his goal is to completely kill you"

"Well I'm not letting that happen" Stella scoffs "I will be taking him on, the ones who are not protecting the 3 will be taking on the beast while Perseus and Urie handle the executives"

"I know that I'm not a part of this, but can I join? I'm already this far in the operation" Lillian asked

"Go ahead" Urie answered "Just don't get in mine and Perseus' way, you might get damaged in the process"
