Laplace was right. Angor was more surprised than scared.
Whether it was in the southern wizarding region or in the Abyss Plane, Angor had to deal with giant monsters to clear out the dream wasteland.
Back in the wizarding world, a monster as large as a continent came. If it weren't for Shava, the dream wasteland in the southern wizarding region wouldn't have come into being.
It was the same in the Abyss. The Purger had only revealed its gigantic eyes, and the Dream Wasteland had been torn apart, falling into the void. It was easy to tell how big the monster was by looking at its eye.
This time, the "cleaners" weren't the unstoppable beasts he encountered before. Instead, they were smaller monsters. They were as numerous as locusts, but the largest among them was only as big as a small hill, which was still far from the behemoths he encountered before.
If so many monsters were allowed to wreak havoc in this new world, they might be able to stop it from developing. However, they wouldn't be able to destroy it in a short time.
Compared to the beast-like monsters, the current situation was much milder. If there was no external intervention, the behemoth-like Cleaners would tear apart this newly born world in less than a second.
But now, even with so many monsters breaking through the barrier, they still couldn't destroy the new world.
If Angor could get rid of these monsters, he might be able to create a new Dream Wasteland — the Dream Wasteland.
With that in mind, Angor was more excited than scared.
Still, he didn't let his guard down. There were still a lot of questions waiting for him. Could Laplace really deal with so many demons?
Also, were these monsters all the Cleaners? Would they send another wave after clearing them out?
Angor didn't know what would happen in the end. But he already sensed that the energy ripples in the air had stabilized. So far, this was the only group of Cleaners.
Angor looked at Laplace and tried to calm down. "Can you deal with them?"
"You want me to deal with all of them?" Laplace frowned.
Eight or ten of them might still be possible, but there were so many of them, and many of them had extremely obscure auras, so he didn't know how strong they were. Asking her to deal with all of them? What kind of joke was this?
If it was her original body in the Empty Mirror Sea, she might be able to deal with these monsters. However, her current strength came entirely from shedding scales. It was absolutely impossible for her to deal with so many monsters.
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Laplace's frown deepened. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I don't have much power here, so I can only rely on you. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll help you."
Laplace almost laughed out of anger. "You said yourself that you don't have any power here. What support are you going to give me?"
But Angor was not joking at all. "Molt your scales. I will provide you with a continuous supply of scales. "
Laplace was briefly stunned. "What do you mean? Continuous … supply? "
"Literally," Angor said. You can fight without worry. Don't worry if your scales get damaged. This is just a projection in your dream, so it won't affect your shedding in real life.
"If your scales are damaged in the battle here, I can immediately return to the real world and pull them back to you in perfect condition. By then, your scales will be brand new. "
Laplace's expression was beyond astonishment. She was terrified by Angor's words.
"You mean … you can replicate my shedding without limit in real life?"
"You can think of it that way."
Laplace asked, "What about the others? If it's not molting, what about the others? "
"I can also provide you with some scrolls, as long as you can use them."
Laplace asked, "Even magic scrolls?"
"Yes. I know you have a lot of questions. But the most important thing right now is to kill these monsters. I'll tell you the rest after the battle is over. I promise. "Angor looked at the monsters in the sky and sighed helplessly.
The first batch of monsters that came out of the space fissure finally realized what was going on. One of them dropped down from the sky and landed not far from them.
Both Angor and Laplace saw the monster's shape. It was a woman about three meters tall.
She was wearing luxurious clothes, a gauze net, and a luxurious folding fan with lace edges in her hand.
The fan was opened to cover the woman's mouth, but it could not stop her shrill laughter.
When the woman slowly moved the fan away from her face, Angor finally noticed that the corners of her mouth had split open all the way to her ears. Her mouth was full of sharp fangs.
As she laughed, a long forked tongue slithered out of her mouth, which looked both terrifying and eerie.
"That's … Snake Woman?" Laplace asked.
"You know her?"
"She's a legendary humanoid creature in Grand Plane. But she doesn't exist in the real world. She's just something that parents make up to scare their children."
It was just like the "Grandmother Wolf" in the story Jon told to Angor when he was young. It was just a symbol, not a real thing.
"These are all creatures from the Dream Realm. Many of them originated from the imaginations of intelligent beings in the real world. Maybe this snake woman was born from a child's dream in Grand Plane." Angor quickly analyzed the situation.
"So they're just imaginary creatures?"
Angor nodded.
Laplace wanted to ask about the characteristics of these creatures, but when she saw the Snake Woman ready to kill them, she held her tongue.
She knew it was not the time for that. She had to wait until everything was over.
"If you can keep shedding scales, I'm confident that I can kill these monsters. Are you sure you can? "
"I'm sure." Angor nodded.
As soon as Angor finished speaking, Laplace dashed toward the Snake Woman like a cannonball.
Before Angor could react, he heard a huge explosion coming from not far away.
Even with the help of the wind, Angor was blown ten meters away by the shockwave.
When the explosion ended, Angor saw a giant crater with a radius of twenty meters, as well as the Snake Woman's broken body.
As for Laplace, after killing the nine-foot snake woman, he flew ten meters into the air and raised his muscular leg to attack another descending shadow.
Following a series of explosions, another devil monster … died.
After killing two monsters in a row, Laplace finally landed on the ground.
At this moment, about one-fifth of the scales on Laplace's legs had disappeared.
Laplace noticed Angor's gaze and explained, "The best effect of shedding is to make the scales explode. You saw how powerful it is.
But I can't regenerate them, so I usually don't use them like this. But since you said you can keep shedding scales, I don't mind. "
Angor didn't know what to say. You're right. But that's way too fast.
In less than two seconds, one-fifth of the scales on the two monsters' legs were gone. Did that mean that the scales on his legs would be completely blown off in ten seconds? Half a minute and all the scales on his body were gone?
Even if Laplace could keep shedding scales, he still needed some time to get into the dream wasteland.
"Then I'll log off now. I mean, I'll leave this crevice and return to the real world. I'll be ready to give you more shedding scales."
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on you. If anything happens, I'll pull you out of the crevice as soon as possible. Your safety is more important than the crevice. "
Laplace humphed and changed the topic. "You can't have more than one shedding scales at the same time?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. That's the rule of this world."
Laplace looked a little disappointed. She was thinking that she could summon all of her bodies at the same time if she could have more than one shedding scale at the same time. Since she could activate her shedding scales at the same time, the three of them would be able to clear out the monsters faster.
"Off you go then." With that, Laplace flew back to a lower altitude. Several shadows were quickly descending from the sky.
Hearing the explosion, Angor shouted as loudly as he could, "Do you need a magic scroll or something else other than molting? Or are other weapons also props? "
Laplace said, "We don't need offensive magic scrolls, but we can bring some control-type magic scrolls. As for items that can attract monsters, you can bring them here. "
"Got it. I'll try my best to bring them to you. I'll keep them within 20 meters. Is that okay?"
"Sure." For Laplace, who had already activated her shedding ability, a distance of 20 meters was no big deal.
In the next few seconds, Angor saw silver flashes and explosions everywhere. Meanwhile, the shedding scales on Laplace's body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In such a situation where he did not care about the consumption of energy, the power of molting was completely displayed.
More than a dozen monsters were killed in a short time. The biggest one among them was nearly a hundred meters long.
When Laplace killed this monster, he blasted a crater that was almost a thousand meters wide on the crystal plain. Furthermore, Laplace had used the Silver Scale Bomb in midair, which showed how powerful the molting skill was.
The most important thing was that the Silver Scale Bombs that Laplace had invented were not long-range bombs. Instead, Laplace used them to teleport to the monsters that were trying to kill them and release the bombs right next to them.
If the bombs were released from a distance, the monsters would probably notice them and run away. But Laplace did not need to worry about the bombs missing their targets.
Besides, the explosions caused by the bombs would not hurt Laplace at all. That was the scariest part.
Half a minute later, Angor's heart was already pounding in fear.
If Laplace used shedding scales like this in the real world, he could probably wipe out a large wizard family with ease.
But now, Laplace used the shedding spells separately. What if he used all the shedding spells at once? This explosion might really injure those huge beasts in the Dream Realm.
Angor even suspected that even a strategic-level defensive magic array would not be able to withstand the full blast of shedding scales.
While muttering "scary" in his mind, Angor returned to the real world.
Instead of going back to the Dream Realm, he used the Dream Gate to observe Laplace's condition.
Whenever a shedding scale was damaged, he would use the Dream Whelk to send a new one inside.
At the same time, he was thinking about what other scrolls and items he could send to the portal apart from shedding scales.
There were quite a few control-type scrolls, but he didn't care whether they would be useful or not.
As for the item that Laplace needed to attract monsters, Angor had no idea what to use.
If it was a specific monster, he could make a specific choice. For example, if the opponent was a sea witch, a gorgon, or a mermaid, he could use the diluted black dolphin glands as a bait to make them gather at the location of the black dolphin glands.
There was also the Garlic Cage Eagle Catcher. From its name, Angor could guess what kind of monster it would attract.
However, there were all kinds of monsters in the Dream Realm, and Angor had no idea what would attract them.
While thinking, Angor kept sending the shedding scales into the Dream Crystal.
After thinking for a while, he sent the shedding scales into the Dream Crystal again and entered it himself.
Angor was blinded by the bright light as soon as he entered the Dream Crystal.
Using God's View, Angor saw that Laplace created a giant explosion in the sky.
It was as if the explosion created a small sun in the sky, which brightened up the dark world.
Angor also sensed the terrifying energy wave from the explosion. If this happened in the real world, the explosion would probably create a giant hole in the underground sewers.
Angor wouldn't be able to survive if the explosion was aimed at him.
He glanced around and sighed. When he first came here, the Dream Crystal was so flat that he could easily walk on it. But now, it was full of bumps and hollows. It wasn't easy to even find a flat spot.
Still, Angor didn't feel bad about it. As long as he could eliminate the monsters and incorporate the Dream Crystal into his territory, he would be able to fix it no matter how bad it was.
"What are you doing here?" Laplace spoke to him using Voice Transmission. "I almost blew you up."
He could hear the complaint in Laplace's voice as well as the excitement in her voice.
Laplace complained that Angor came in at the wrong time, while she was excited because she could use the shedding skill to kill monsters without stopping. She couldn't experience it in the real world. How could she not be excited when she finally got to experience it?
From this, it could be seen that although Laplace was usually indifferent, it did not mean that she was emotionless.
Even Laplace couldn't hold herself back in the "Explosion Is Art" crowd.
"I'm here to give you a tool. Didn't you say you wanted something to attract monsters? "
