Jacob's mind reeled when he heard Nyx's statent, 'If she can place nightmare conqueror seeds in this place, doesn't this an I can kill anyone as I wish? But if soone lost their dreamscape realm, then they won't be able to enter this place, right? This would naturally draw the attention of the entity that placed this whole setup here. Furthermore, I can't act recklessly until I find the true reason behind this place.'
"Nyx, I want you to pay attention and tell what is happening. We might be able to discover sothing. Other than that, do not interfere recklessly. Even I don't know what would happen if we truly draw this person's attention." Jacob sternly commanded.
Nyx also had the sa thought, and she quickly agreed.
"Tsk, what a damn luck. I just had to encounter a freaking giant. These battles are always unfair." War Hamr mumbled with a bitter look as he looked at the towering giant.
Jacob's focus also turned to War Hamr, and only three seconds remained before the battle would start. But he didn't dare to underestimate War Hamr even if he was like an ant.
"Battle Starts!" Dark Rose's voice reverberated on the battlefield.
"Earth Spikes!" War Hamr didn't even waste a second as he quickly instant cast an earth spell.
Although they were not of unique rank and couldn't use the aura and spirit, their magic abilities could be emulated. Upon the character creation, the user was given the choice to use their rectified stars to create magic abilities within the realm of epic rank.
Jacob naturally selected his own magic abilities, and his advantage was he had two magic cores. But he wasn't planning on showing them off unless he had to. Especially now that he knew this place was not a virtual place but a dreamscape realm.
The mont War Hamr cast a spell, he cast his own, "Water Rush!"
A gentle blue light covered Jacob's body, turning it into liquid, and he easily passed through the spikes.
"Water elent, shit!" War Hamr cursed as he knew the Water elent counters the powerful spells of the earth elent, and without aura or spirit, it was very hard to counter water-type abilities.
"Earth blast!" He swings his giant war hamr brandished with erald energy.
Jacob's eyes were as cold as ever as his swords were already revolving around his hands, and seeing the incoming hamr, he didn't intend to dodge as one of his swords directly swung into the hamr.
'What kind of swords are those?' War Hamr was shocked to see the swords revolving like clock hands; it was an extrely peculiar sword style.
Furthermore, Jacob was taking full advantage of his size and physique as he directly clashed with the hamr with one hand, and his other hand was free. But War Hamr needs to hold the hamr with both hands.
"Earth Shield, Earth Barrier!" War Hamr double cast protective earth spells against Jacob's other sword as the earth elent had the most powerful defensive ability.
'Water control, Water Edge!' Jacob's other sword suddenly brandished with the water elent, and the next mont, that water energy turned to revolve at a high intensity, making the blade's sharp edge even shaper.
While clashing with the war hamr with one sword, he slashed his other sword like a scythe towards War Hamr's neck. His hands were extrely long, and it easily reached its destination.
With his ridiculous physical prowess, the sword passed through the earth's shield and barrier like a piece of jelly, and before War Hamr could react, it flashed past his neck while his hamr blasted into the side.
"Tsk, you freak…" War Hamr bitterly cursed as his body turned into particles, and he vanished without a trace.
"Congratulations to Dictator on your first arena victory!
"1 Dark Credit has been added to your account!
"Do you want to search for another opponent?"
Jacob didn't imdiately answer as he was waiting for Nyx's analysis of War Hamr's death. Furthermore, he could sense that his magic power instantly replenished to its full capacity.
"How magical!" Nyx exclaid at this mont, "After this dwarf's death, a tiny portion of his psyche vitality was separated from him and then directly absorbed by this dreamscape realm! This thod of increasing the dreamscape realm's strength is slow but effective. Not only that, but I might be able to take that wisp of psyche vitality for myself and absorb it to strengthen your dreamscape realm!"
Jacob's eyes glead with astonishnt as he suddenly thought of the true purpose of this place. "Could it be that the owner of this place created it so that it could strengthen its own dreamscape realm by secretly absorbing others' psyche?
"Psyche could be considered other people's soul, right? Whoever is doing it didn't want others to find out, and that fatigue and resting period are probably placed for this exact reason."
"Indeed, although there is only a tiny portion of the soul vitality, the person would still feel ntal fatigue. But unlike , the soul vitality taken by this person can't cause permanent damage unless soone loses more than half of their soul vitality. They can easily recover from it with special dicines that help in soul recovery.
"Moreover, when I devour others' dreamscape realms, I directly devour 70% of their soul, not just vitality; there is a huge difference, which causes a victim's death eventually since it's impossible to recover one dreamscape realm.
"This also brings to another point: Virtual Liquid seed to have such properties to keep the soul stable and even heal it sowhat. However, losing a portion of their soul vitality for a long ti will leave permanent damage, and it can affect them in many ways.
"Nonetheless, whoever is doing this is an ingenious person. They are taking others' soul vitalities without even the victims finding it out, and the most ridiculous thing is they are delivering it willingly.
"But the most important part is, whoever is doing it, they are only proficient in the dreamscape realm, but they might not have any idea about devouring other people's dreamscape realm.
"After all, a dreamscape realm and a soul also contain a person's superego and mories. They can easily lose their true self if soone recklessly tries to devour them. Only I can completely purify the superego and erase it so that it won't affect .
"Even that insect (Autarch) didn't have such ability since he didn't consu others' superegos. He consud mories from brains, which are entirely different from consuming souls. If I can beco more proficient in my talent, I'm confident I can take over this entire dreamscape realm!" Nyx's voice was filled with dark intent as she was finally able to peer through the truth behind this dreamscape realm.
Before, she was afraid that this existence had the sa abilities as her, but now, she knows this person only had a small attainnt of dreamscape magic and used it for plundering others' soul vitalities. If she could attain the sa level of power, she would clean the floor with this person.
But for now, she can sneakily take away those soul vitalities without being detected. Still, it was a huge boon since this place was filled with powerful people. Even three steps of legend experts were present, and their souls were naturally powerful.
Jacob also comprehended this much as his eyes shimred with a hint of greed, and a hint of shock flashed past his eyes when he thought of sothing, "Wait, dreamscape realm can also empower the soul? Why didn't you tell before?"
Jacob knew that to control the Eyes of Judge, he needed a powerful soul, so he was on the lookout for such treasures. But he didn't think that Nyx also had such ability. Didn't this an he was searching high and low for a treasure, but he had it all along?
"You never asked, and I think that you already knew since the dreamscape realm is also related to the soul. Furthermore, the lifespan I absorb is also part of the soul called the Soul Vitality, which contains a person's spiritual lifespan.
"I have the ability to convert soul vitality into life vitality, which is the reason your lifespan increases. On the other hand, my portion accumulates until it's enough for my evolution, and only then will the dreamscape realm beco stronger!"
Jacob was flabbergasted as only now did he truly understand the truth behind his lifespan. He always thought that it was just Nyx's ability, but he never dug deeper into it.
But now, he was regretting not understanding it deeply enough.
"If that's true, can you divert this soul vitality directly to my soul and strengthen it instead? Just like what this person is doing!" Jacob asked quickly.
"Oh, you an to increase your soul vitality instead of life vitality? Although I don't try it before, after seeing what is happening here, I think it's possible. I'll try the next ti I devour soone's soul." Nyx replied with so uncertainty.
Jacob clenched his fist with hope, 'If it's really possible, then I can finally make progress with Eyes of Judge. This is really an unexpected windfall!' Jacob's eyes suddenly turned cold as he stated, "Since you can absorb that portion of the soul vitality, let's try with it. You are free to snatch it as long as you won't leave behind any clue."
Jacob then loudly declared, "Search for another opponent!"
