Last Divinity: The Advent Of Dreams-Chapter 58: Draval queen

A week passed and as Viona had predicted they took the path through the territory of the draval.

Through the satellite they saw an old man dressed in black armour with red glowing lines through it.

They knew immediately this was the former emperor, the actual ruler of the empire. Of the two strongest humans in this world.

Floating in the sky Infront of him was an old man dressed like a wizard. It was Merlin, he seemed to be talking to the former emperor but they couldn't see what he was saying.

Khali waited, he was the one who asked for Merlin to do this. Khali's divine energy had grown to 60 thousand points.

He made it a point that everyday there would be sprayer session, it was mandatory, those who didn't come were stripped of some privileges.

To be more specific they never would've had those privileges like access to candy, yes he decided to take candy away.

To these people who didn't even know super, the taste of candy was too much to let go.

It was not like they needed to be genuine in theyr prayer, they just needed to attend for an hour.

To be fair, candy was still a bit rare compared to the other food. Even Isabella joined because of that.

After that first step was done, all he nodded was to convince them the god of dreams was real.

The weaker people were much easier to convince, he just gave them dreams. While the people of this world did dream.

It was rare, after his disappearance, the dream realm was taken over by the darker forces.

It was now a real of nightmares, while nightmares were also part of his domain, there had to be balance.

So dreaming was something feared in this world and probably in all of existence now. It was to the point some did not wake from the dreaming.

Each of those nightmares were not like his own, they were darker and more evil. They sucked the souls of those in the dreaming.

Slowly and overtime the victim would die there as the last ember of their souls died out.

When he visited the dreaming he almost died there, right now he didn't even have enough power to even control his own domain.

However he did did manage to carve out a part of the dream realm, it was there he shaped the dreams of those around him.

For the first time they had peaceful dreams which convinced them of the dream god, those who were stronger needed him to use divine energy.

After they felt divine energy they knew deep down in their soul that a being far beyond their own is around.

Khaki sighed though, normally other divine creatures would need only around 40 thousand points to reach rank 2 divinity.

However he needed a 100 thousand, right now he was still only a rank 1 divine but that should be enough.

His soul had regained a bit of it strength, not enough to match a beserke or high mage but enough to match an adept

He should be strong enough to trap them in the whisper of dreams as long as he has something belonging to them.

He really couldn't wait to break through to the adept /paladin realm. Being this weak was uncomfortable.

Even with nuclear bombs they had to depend on Merlin to take care of the old emperor.

Or maybe build stronger weapons but he preferred being strong himself as well, he can't always rely on external strength.

Viona was of the same mind.

----------------------------------------------------------

Merlin faced the old emperor, he has tried to dissuade him from doing this, he even emphasised the importance of those children.

Instead the old emperor grew more greedy, he wondered how that boy knew this was how it would go down.

" You say they are the only ones with the means to save this empire? To leave this world?"

The emperor asked in a deep voice then grinned. " Good good, then this is even more worth it, I shall take all they have and I will lead my people to other worlds

The red sun empire will spread through the darkness like a beacon and conquer all that stands in our way."

Merlin sighed, " Is this really the path you want to take old friend? Then you leave me no choice." He took out his staff.

" You dare challenge me Merlin? Are you betraying the empire?" The old emperor roared.

" March my soldiers and lay waste to this place this old fool holds so dearly." The emperor roared.

Merlin looked at the few mages of the tower who were amongst the imperial army, some were actual traitors long before.

The rest were mere greedy fools who were drawn by the promise of riches. He sent a message telepathically to them to warn them.

They looked down in shame but only a few chose to stand back and not fight. The imperial army took offence to this.

They tried to attack but before they could, those mages were taken away by heavy winds.

The old emperor used that opportunity to attack Merlin but he had already casted a barrier.

His sword collided with the wind barrier, flames and wind exploded and spread out in the sky.

The army below marched then the sand shook. They all knew what was coming, the emperor gritted his teeth.

He couldn't face both Merlin and the Draval queen. Then Merlin grinned and retreated.

" My job is not to kill you but to stop you from interfering, if that thing will do my job for me, I'm cool with with it.

You want to witness the power of technology? Then observe bitch." His manner of speech confused the emperor but he knew he was being insulted.

Merlin had picked this up from those brats. The Draval queen revealed itself in its full might.

50 metres tall and over 80 long. It steps shook the desert. It raised its head and roared at the emperor who met it with a sword.

Their battle shook sky each move more powerful than a nuclear bomb itself.
