420 Diving Into Nightmares (2/2)
”I think so, he may have known that he made Athos-chan flustered… I can understand her, having these bodies and getting used to them is incredibly awkward” said Sesshomaru.
”Ahem, I also wanted to thank Hodhyl-sama for her blessings… I just recently obtained the Life Attribute affinity which is related to the Nature Attribute… thanks for your consideration, I will make sure to meet your expectations,” said Altani.
”Don't worry my daughter, I am not a fool, I know when there is someone with potential and talent. I will be looking forward to your growth, and possibly your ascension to godhood one day” said Hodhyl.
Altani seemed flustered by the words of a goddess, and she blushed her cheeks.
Not long after Amiphossia came carrying Athos with her arms as if she were a baby.
”Athos-chan, you don't need to be flustered, you're a very cute dragoness!” she said.
”N-No… stop telling me that…” muttered Athos.
”I honestly don't know why you feel so flustered, a humanoid body is very convenient,” said Yiksukesh, who had stayed silent up until now.
”Shut up, snake! You were born as a woman, I did not! It is different!” roared Athos.
”You're such a bummer,” said Yiksukesh.
The two glares clashed against each other, they seemed to be… rivals?
”Is there a hidden rivalry between the descendants of Jormungandr and Dragons?” asked Zehe.
”Yes… Though I do not hold those feelings. Some of my sibling's dislikes snakes, this is even more common for the mortals of our species,” said Hodhyl.
”It seems a bit complicated I suppose,” I said.
”Well, yes… Anyways, Kireina-sama now that we have been talking for some time, how about you come to my Divine Realm? We may start to make children right away if you so desire. I've prepared a lot of concoctions and lubes and-”
”Shut up, you lizard! K-Kireina-sama, please have a good day!” said Agatheina, as she stopped Hodhyl from saying more embarrassing things, the call with the rest of the gods was suddenly interrupted and forcefully closed.
”Did that goddess just asked Kireina to have children with her? Gods are really lustful beings… even more than mortals,” analyzed Zehe.
”Guu… I do not like how she tried to say it so easily! Masta, don't have children with her!” said Rimuru.
”R-Rimuru? You got angry all out of a sudden… Well, do not worry, I was not planning on that for now anyway”
After the god's meeting finished, we had the rest of our breakfast as I decided to try out my new 'Nightmare Magic' with my daughter Vudia.
I once again separated my body into two, and left my second body with Nephiana, Mady, and Adelle, alongside the Rin Sisters and the Spirit Girls. Aside from table games, I began to teach them some skills and spells as well. Nereid seemed completely unaware of the Mana Zone, which ended up being a very useful tool for her.
With my first body, I went towards the magic ritual room, where I had some subjects to try out our magic. Vudia, Brontes, Herbell, and Zehe came with me as well.
Redgaria would have loved to investigate this magic, but he seemed too immersed in his research using Divine Energy samples taken from my children.
”Hoh? So these are the subjects… interesting” said Herbell.
”Humans? Hm? If they are not Chaos Humans… then they are outsiders?” asked Zehe.
”Spies,” said Brontes.
”Those are our subjects mommy? Can I start playing?” asked Vudia.
”Not yet, my love. Let us make them sleep first” I said, glancing at our subjects.
The 'Subjects' were Humans sent by the Azuma Empire as spies. They were caught by Wall and the Vampires and sent alive here for experiments and other things. Of course, brainwashing them and making the spill all the beans would also be nice, but I decided to use these as subjects to try out my Nightmare Magic.
They had their mouths covered in my Slime clones, which were extended over their entire bodies, trapping them. They struggled and tried to scream, but it was futile.
”Blame your Kingdom for using you as disposable pawns, now have sweet dreams~,” I said.
I used my slime tentacles as needles, using the anesthesia that I created into the three subjects present in the room. It just took a few seconds for all three to fall completely unconscious.
”Are you sure that they would dream if you make them too unconscious though?” asked Zehe.
”Yeah. Now Vudia, use this one” I said, showing Vudia a female spy with short dark hair.
”Alrighty! 'Dark Nightmare'!” she shouted, activating the Nightmare Magic Spell into the subject's dreams…
Suddenly, dark clouds were produced from within her hands, as Vudia changed into her 'vampiric' appearance.
The dark clouds entered the spy's head, as it began to shriek in a pained expression.
”No! Nooo! Agh! Uaaaghh! Gyaaaaah!”
”It seems to work mommy! I wonder what dreams it is having…”
”Let me check,” I said, extending one of my slime tentacles into the spy's brain and using my Mirage Magic Spell 'Memory Visualization Screen', which is often used to showcase someone's memories in a magic screen. It is a very high-level Illusion Attribute Spell that I obtained after eating a bunch of Illusion Monsters in the Dungeon a few weeks ago.
The nightmare seemed interesting, the woman seemed to be trapped in a dark forest, as the dark and slender figure of a man wearing a suit with no face followed her around. The atmosphere was eerie and cold, and she seemed to be constantly sweating in despair.
”Oh, this is good… so a 'Dark Nightmare' means something related to horror, and terror!” said Herbell, writing down what he said.
”The way her heart is beating, and her body sweating… it is a very vivid nightmare… her eyes are constantly moving below her eyelids” analyzed Zehe, writing that down as well.
”My daughter really makes me proud,” said Brontes, patting Vudia's black-colored hair.
”I also turn into this form when I use Nightmare Magic for some reason,” said Vudia, glancing at her appearance.
I used 'Dark Nightmare' in another subject, a bald man with an eyepatch.
Similar things happened to him when I used 'Memory Visualization Screen' on his mind.
Both subjects were completely immersed in their nightmares as if they were completely real.
By waving my hands, the nightmares disappeared and the two went back to sleeping normally.
”Now… 'Uneasy Nightmare'…”
