Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 892: Using the Gate

“Woah, it’s the end of the month already?”

He had spent nearly 90 days inside the dream wasteland. Combining this with all the time it took him for visiting Freud and buying stuff at Lloyds, he had been staying at the Land of Revelation for more than three months.

He couldn’t help but wonder how Leon and Jon were doing.

“I’ll head back as soon as I learn how to use this gate thing.” He made up his mind. With the nightmare tunnel sealed, the dream wasteland should be safe for visitors. He only had to figure out how to contain a dead person’s consciousness next.

Of course, he had to also make sure Jon was willing to live on as a resident in the dream wasteland.

...

Three days later.

His physical condition had not fully recovered yet, and the color of his facial skin was far from healthy. But he was good enough to join fights now, if not better than before after gaining new strength.

His “lengthened right arm” had improved the properties of his projected bloodline, which in turn granted him an even more endurable body. Even though he still couldn’t discover any special abilities that came with the bloodline, his raw strength, reflexes, and metabolism all reached new levels and were still growing.

While glad about the new gain, he also put a new task into his schedule, which was finding out the potential side effects and risks of the projected bloodline. There would always be a time when these problems emerge. He had to get to know them before it happened.

Just like how he treated the green sigils, he no longer felt fearful of the foreign strength. Since he had it, he would do his best to study and hopefully command it.

Nevertheless, he would remain constantly cautious when dealing with this matter.

During his first test regarding Dream Gate, he used Dream Whelk to send a large boulder in his view into the dream wasteland. At the same time, he received a warning in his mind, which seemed to be sent by the new ability. It told him that a foreign object had invaded the dream wasteland.

After the warning, he saw a mini map in his mind that showed the landscape of the wasteland, and he could use the map to point out where to send the boulder.

He suspected that he could do more than this with the map. Although he didn’t have time to do more research because the “alert” was getting really urgent.

[Foreign object arriving in 4 seconds]

[Foreign object arriving in 3...]

Something told him that the boulder would end up somewhere random if he didn’t make a choice in time. He did so, and he then used Dream Enkindle to enter the dream wasteland himself, while positioning his starting point as close to the boulder as possible.

“Ah! There it is. If I can keep doing this, I might as well build a whole city I copied from Earth, just for Jon.”

Apart from objects, he might also invite more people here so that Jon wouldn’t get lonely.

Just thinking about the little new world he was going to create made him excited.

Freud’s assumption was quite true. Combining the Dream Whelk with the dream wasteland brought by his nightmare power, he could make wonderful things happen.

He found more items from his bracelet and tried taking them into the dream wasteland, and he succeeded without a problem.

It seemed the “warning” would come each time he put an item in the dream wasteland. This was probably meant to be helpful for monitoring the items, but it could get a bit bothersome if he kept hearing it.

Fortunately, he noticed that he could preemptively set a safe zone on the map and tell the Dream Gate to ignore everything that was sent that way.

There was a problem though. Despite its name, the Dream Gate couldn’t stop objects from reaching the dream wasteland. As soon as he used the Dream Whelk on an item, it would appear at the designated spot within five seconds regardless, or somewhere else, if he did not determine a destination.

This wouldn’t be a problem for now since he was the only one who could send something into the dream wasteland by casting Dream Enkindle using nightmare energy. Yet he might run into exceptions in the future. What if a truth-finder Dream Manipulator learned about his dream wasteland and found a way to get in?

Perhaps the domain sphere contained more powers related to security measures. He would like to work on this if he had a chance.

Toby was also invited into his test, but the bird wasn’t interested in the empty place at all.

Since this part of the experiment was concluded, he settled everything and was about to leave.

He still needed time to learn how to guarantee the survival of Jon’s consciousness, should Jon’s body die. If he could, he would immediately take Jon away with him.

Before heading back to the Old Earth, he went to Freighting Town first. As he promised, he would allow Freud to check the dream wasteland after removing the nightmare tunnel, and he would also grant Freud a place to live in there. Freud played an important part in the research as well as providing a new theory for rescuing Jon. Angor wasn’t going to go back on his words.

When halfway to Freighting Town, he stopped moving as he was attracted by a city in the distance that released a golden glimmer.

He recognized the city as the “Golden Wood City”, from a map of the Land of Revelation he read before. It was a border city of the Central Empire, and it got its name because of a special type of tree planted all around the city. At this time every year, these plants would shine brightly in the sunlight.

It wasn’t the tree but two particularly beautiful buildings that drew his attention. Using the artful tastes of a nobleman, he could tell that whoever designed them must be a real master in the field.

One of the buildings was a large, round-domed cathedral with luxurious carvings and decorations. The contrasting yet amazingly coordinated colors meant the creator truly put their heart into their work.

The other one was a pub house of some sort, which was established in the middle of the thick trunk of a tree. The builder of it retained most of the natural elements. Although it must be pretty difficult to situate a treehouse so stably.

Previously, Angor would probably take some minutes to admire the lovely structures before departing. Now, however...

...

A moment later, two identical buildings appeared in the dream wasteland under Angor’s effort, including all the decor and furniture within them.

Since it was mainly Jon who gave him early education when he was young, he believed Jon would also love these buildings.

If Jon could no longer exist in reality, at least Angor would like to show Jon lots of artful sights in the dream wasteland.

Along his way, he pulled several more architectures he came across using the Dream Whelk, until the “safe zone” he determined was filled with more than 20 new houses. The journey back already took way longer than he thought, so he decided not to enter the dream wasteland to check his work right now.

Finally, Freighting Town came into his view before nightfall.
