The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 782: Against All Odds (15)

Dreams are a way for people to visualize what they want rather than what they were served. Some call them an escape from the disappointments of reality.

Some call it the solace in knowing everything is just the opposite of dreams. A bittersweet reality.

Dreams are powerful, entertaining, yet dangerous.

The more you focus on dreams, the more dangerous they become until they completely overwhelm you. But it can be beautiful too.

However, this time, the three found themselves on the dangerous side.

Overlord Dharma, who was constantly looking for a way to destroy the dreamscape and free his suffering teammates, created a mind clone.

Mind clones are invisible consciousnesses created from the mental capacity of those who can split their minds and still focus without fault.

They are similar to Klausʼs Hivemind, but temporarily and much weaker. However, they require a relatively robust mind and great focus.

Dharma is that powerful in the mind.

So he created a mind clone and started using it to understand the battle.

Two hours into the battle, all three of them were hurt, with a few wounds very deep. That was true for Lulu, who just couldnʼt figure out where this dream of hers came from.

As a result, she started to get frustrated, which contributed to her gradually losing focus. This, of course, made her opponent start to gain the upper hand.

As for Jason, he was now fighting against his own emotions on top of the wall of light. His pitiful moment was rather hurtful and evil, considering he was meant to remember all the pain he had to bury deep in his heart just so he could keep moving.

Two and a half hours later, Dharma found a way to break the dreamscape, knowing the longer they stayed in, the more powerful their opponents could become.

Of course, among them, the only one who could help break the dreamscape illusion was Jason, who, as he turned and looked at him, was in no shape to help.

He was drowning in his own sorrow. But the Overlord wasnʼt about to have any of that.

”Under normal circumstances, I wouldnʼt do this, but this is a life and death battle, so I can only let go of my values for a moment and break this damn illusion.”

Overlord Dharma said with a sigh as he combined 100 swords together, forming a large one. He directed it at the berserk version of himself, causing it to also attack with the same move.

This created a large explosion, blinding both of them for two seconds. But that was all Dharma needed.

He turned and looked at Jason, and without even making eye contact, Overlord Dharmaʼs pink eyes shone. Then he uttered a single word.

”Possession”

A beam shot from his eyes, entering the back of Jasonʼs head. The moment he did, his consciousness knocked Jason out cold.

It was a ruthless thing to do, but Overlord Dharma wasnʼt about to put Luluʼs life in danger by being gentle.

He canʼt face Klaus if someone happens to Lulu while she is under his command. So as a leader, he had to make the difficult decisions.

He would apologize later, but for now, he needed a vessel, which was Jasonʼs body.

So he knocked him out and used his consciousness to take hold of his body.

Then, like he anticipated, the moment Jason went unconscious, the light wall dissipated, and he was ejected from the dreamscape.

But that was what Overlord Dharma was after. When he was out of the dreamscape with Jasonʼs body, he executed a series of sword attacks in seven different directions.

It was a quick, decisive attack, but it worked.

The moment the attack was unleashed, the dreamscape, which was a form of illusion, shattered like glass, bringing them face to face with a large head floating in the air and hanging on what looked like a network of webs.

”Die, you damn bastard!” The angry Overlord, who was now free from his berserk clone, threw all caution to the wind and chose to unleash his strongest ability.

He closed his eyes and used his index and middle fingers to tap his forehead between his eyes.

”Spirit Eyes of Seduction.”

The moment he unleashed the ability, he knew it would be best if Lulu kept it a secret, considering its name and nature. His eyes flashed open, causing a large pink eye to manifest in the air.

Itʼs pink, large, and seductively majestic.

”Calling the Seductive Fox Demon.”

The large pink eye shone, and a six-tailed fox appeared. It was a beautiful pink fox, adorned with more beauty accessories than even a beauty queen.

Though it was created from spiritual qi, it looked rather real and elegant.

The moment it appeared, the space was filled with the aura of love and seduction. Lulu, who was recovering from her illusion, immediately felt her heart overflow with love.

Overlord Dharma, however, was rather shy about his own ability, so he chose to kill the bastard quickly and be done with this embarrassing technique.

He was an overlord with a great reputation, and he would love to keep this ability a secret, especially from his fellow overlords, particularly Nari.

Who knows what that damn Pheonix will do to the poor Spirit Master if she finds out.

Thankfully, no satellite was monitoring them, considering their unusual battle.

”Beam of Seduction.”

The moment he activated the ability, the six tails behind the fox demon swung through the air and suddenly stopped as they all aimed at the Dream Reaper.

”Kill him.”

They shot a beam that condensed into one large pink spear, and like throwing a javelin, the spear flew through the air and pierced through one of the ten eyes of the Dream Reaper.

The monster was essentially one big orb of a head, with ten sets of purple eyes, no hands or legs, and suspended in the air by a network of webs.

The Dream Reaper, which was relatively weak, perhaps the lowest in defense, fell to its death once the spear pierced its eye.

”Kill it, girl. Klaus said, Though you canʼt level up, the more you kill, the better. You will see the effect when he lifts the seal,” Overlord Dharma said to Lulu.

Lulu, of course, didnʼt hesitate.

She unleashed six piercing, long, thin swords at the Dream Reaper, controlling them so precisely that they pierced through its body multiple times until she felt it die, confirmed by the kill message.

Overlord Dharma walked closer to the body and picked up the core. He has more to gain from it, considering he and the Dream Reaper share some similarities.

”I will keep this,” he said to Lulu, who nodded and walked closer to Jasonʼs sleeping body.

”We are done here... Letʼs get out of the Forbidden Zone,” Lulu said, and Overlord Dharma nodded. Those were the instructions given to some of them.

So since their opponent is dead.

So he stored the body of the Dream Reaper and took Jasonʼs unconscious body, and they left the forbidden zone the next second.

Their battle was a wild one, but they werenʼt the only ones who had it bad. The others were equally facing great odds.

That was especially true for Team Seven—the team facing the Ice Banshee...
