Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 664 - 304: Worried About Automatic Strength Improvement_2

After Alka nodded, they left.

Alka looked at Illusion and said, "This place has already solidified into a dream world. The entrance to the Mirror's passage can't be seen from the outside.

Arrange for a few mist-like creatures to stand guard at the entrance and guide those who want to enter."

Illusion nodded and got busy.

Watching the mist-like creatures coming and going throughout the entire Dream Palace.

Alka felt that he had somewhat neglected them.

For a long time recently, ever since he gained the power of dreams, he seemed not to have shifted much of his attention to this dream world.

It was only after hearing the words of the Pegasus just now that he seemed to understand a little.

If he wanted to save the world and lessen its suffering, these mist-like creatures were indispensable.

And those who surrendered to him and became members of his Dream Kingdom were even better helpers.

He had to properly arrange these mist-like creatures; he couldn't just let his palace develop wildly at will.

Today, he only decreased his strength by 5 Spirals.

It won't be long before these 5 Spirals rise up again on their own.

As a king of dreams, a Divine Descendant of dreams.

Every being who becomes a part of his Dream Realm brings about an acceleration in his power growth.

The high Magic Power in the palace also speeds up the rate at which his power increases.

At this rate of growth, even at this stage, it won't take many more days and nights to restore those few Spirals.

Let alone that the speed is still increasing now.

It seems these rituals will have to be held more frequently.

And during the ritual just now, Alka seemed to have discovered something remarkable.

For beings of light and shadow to leave the Dream Realm for reality is extremely difficult.

It requires a weak point in the world to thin the barrier between dream and reality.

Otherwise, trying to break through by sheer strength is very difficult unless Alka uses gold and silver energy to open a passage.

But mist-like creatures seem to be different.

Though they are Natural Essences of the dream world, after all, they are a kind of Natural Essence constructed by the world itself.

Compared to these beings of light and shadow, their connection to reality is much closer.

After all, they can even use their special abilities in the Dream World to repair the outside world.

Just now, when Alka used this ability to guide them, he also noticed this trait.

This seems to be a point that can be exploited.

Think… how to make use of it?

To use less energy to draw powerful mist-like creatures into reality with little loss of their strength?

Could he make himself a Summoner?

Seems a bit far-fetched—not so easy.

Moreover, the strong part of these mist-like creatures mainly lies in the fact that they can't be destroyed in the Dream World.

They do not possess much real strength themselves.

More often, they serve functional roles, not as assault units.

In the Dream World, their numbers will neither multiply nor suddenly decrease for no reason.

Because they have no natural enemies and won't harm other dream creatures.

Alka pondered.

Time passed by gradually.

...

Alka and his companions had already been sailing at sea for nearly forty days and nights.

Throughout forty days and nights of sailing, they hadn't found a single island of any significant size.

They only came across the kind of desolate islets that, at a glance, you could take in at a single view.

Such deserted islands could be seen from time to time during their voyage at sea.

Compared to encountering strange ships, these barren islands were far more common sights.

Perhaps these were the only things at sea that could help ease their visual fatigue.

Sound of Dawn stopped at one such desolate island.

Everyone got off the ship and rested on the sandy beach of the island.

Relieving the fatigue from their long voyage.

On the beach was set a long grill, covered with all sorts of food.

There was also a large fresh sea fish that Pororo had just caught from the sea, cleaned and laid out on top.

Chadite took half of what she had grilled and handed it to Alka, who was sitting beside her.

"Here, for you."

Alka took it and smiled, "Thank you."

"Is it my imagination, or do you look a bit sluggish today? You seemed the same on the day we just left port last time, too."

Hearing Chadite's words, Alka turned his head to look at her.

"You observe very carefully."

The first time Chadite mentioned was the day Alka paid the price through the ritual to mitigate the fluctuations of his might in the Dream World.

After all, it was a method of trading cost for necessity. The weakening of dream power must bring about a certain degree of mental fatigue.

It's just like the exhaustion after a great battle.

This is unavoidable. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

You can't expect a drop in strength to not affect you and still act like nothing happened, like a normal person.

And today, forty days and nights have passed since the last time; Alka's power had almost returned to perfection, so he had to perform the ritual again.

He really couldn't wait until reaching perfection and being on the verge of breaking through to suppress his strength—if an accident happened then, it would be too late.

Nothing could be done.

The speed at which his power grew had increased again.

Because of the Pegasus's words, Alka had paid particular attention to the comings and goings of these mist-like creatures and how many joined.

Just as Pegasus had said, he seemed to be inheriting the legacy of Mirmi's former Dream Realm.

Mirmi's sudden madness had caused his Dream Realm to shatter.
