Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

The noise of the colliding electric currents running around roared in the ears, the eyes of the dark-skinned young man shone with a strange light, and the heavy muzzle seemed to spew shells at any time to raze everything to the ground. The hands of the clock swept the dial round and round, and the crimson girl and the man in suits and leather shoes looked at each other and could not stand each other. It was as if two airflows with uneven temperature and temperature were stalemately colliding with each other, which was suffocating.

"I have already let my men go. I think, this is enough to show my sincerity that I want to talk to you?"

Charte, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sneered, with a sarcastic smile on his face,

"Oh? You said 'sincerity'?" He said so abruptly. Seeing that the Dream Thief King did not intend to respond to himself, he raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, avoided the rotating hands around the periphery of the clock, stopped in front of the figure lying on the ground, and then squatted down on the spot, looking coldly at the figure lying on the ground. lollipop girl. "I said, no matter how hard William hits, you can't lie down until now, right? After all... this is the world of dreams!"

Thieves Dream King frowned. His face turned gray for a short while, after all, he didn't expect Chart to find this abnormality. After listening to Chalt's words, the girl stood up unhurriedly while propping herself up in embarrassment. She turned her eyes playfully with a smile, and said, "Only Zach has such a heavy guarantee, and I still feel a little worried~ The more guarantees, the better~ Doesn't this also show that we value you?"

The little girl with a tone of mischievousness stuck out her tongue cutely when she was discovered, making it hard to blame her.

"Could it be that you guys have expected the clock to turn suddenly, and things will turn out like this?" Chalt turned his eyes and looked at the King of Pirates meaningfully and teased.

"Okay." Elus interrupted Chalt, who was still about to say something. Compared to before, Elus is now more like Chart's guardian. There was a bit of joking in her eyes, and she raised her head and asked, "Didn't you always regard yourself as a lonely king? What is the need to talk to us?"

This remark made the King of Pirates of Dreams take a deep breath in a little embarrassment. He took a step forward after thinking about it, and said in a flat tone: "I'm really joking, but then again, I don't really want to destroy your clocks. It means... I did this rashly before because I couldn't tolerate the fact that William also has "absolute observation". However, we don't have to do it now."

Thief Dream King paused meaningfully when he said this. Needless to say what happened next, Elus also guessed what he would say. And the fact is not surprising——

"Why don't we temporarily cease the war, let us temporarily unite and defeat other clock rulers. In addition, you don't need to join the Dream Stealer. If you want to say why you do this, it is because there will definitely be more clock rulers in the future. The method of the dead ruler. But if we unite, naturally no one will be our opponent, and neither of us will lose too much force."

"Do you think we're stupid enough to trust you?" Chart's eyes flashed with anger, and he waved his finger to the crack of the clock beside him. A blue beam of light scatters from the clock where Silver is at the other end, and the swirling grains seem to be gradually stitching up cracks. "Once we agree, we will naturally abide by the agreement and not attack you, but you will definitely do this kind of thing again when we are not prepared."

"How could it be? I think a fight to the death when we're the only ones left is the perfect finale for the observers who control the war."

"Heh, how could the Dream Thief leave the opponent till the end?"

"If you agree to form an alliance, I will also tell you how to kill the ruler completely."

"Believe your nonsense, we are really finished!"

"No, I don't think you can say that." Suddenly, a slightly gloomy male voice interrupted their conversation.

Chart was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him. Watanabe Kaede gently put down the wooden shield in his hand, so that it lay in front of the crack, facing Zach's muzzle.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Charter, you don't understand what it means to be in alliance with the Dream Thief. In addition to the clock that the Thief King himself is subordinate to, more than two dominator clocks have joined the Dream Thief alliance. It is said that half of the fighting power in this domination war is in The Dream Thief is not exaggerating at all, understand?"

"You bastard!" Chalt stepped forward and grabbed his collar, his eyes were full of fierce light. "Do you know who you are asking me to work with?"

"William, who has the most right to speak to Mei Baitu, didn't stop her. What are you angry about?"

These words made Chart stunned. William glanced at Charte with a complicated expression, his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything. Of course, this was because he couldn't speak at all. As long as he moves his lips lightly, he will be discovered by the "absolute observation" of the Thief of Dreams. No matter what he says to stop him, he will be killed by the Thief of Dreams first.

"If we can use the power of the Dream Thieves, even Clock No. 1 will no longer be a threat to us. What's more, the other clocks are just a drop in the ocean. I'm sure the most sensible choice now is to cooperate with them!"

"Watanabe Kaede! In reality, you were attacked by a dream thief, and you are still lying in the intensive care unit at this moment! Do you understand?" Staring at Watanabe Kaede's indifferent eyes, he The clenched fist creaked after being squeezed hard. Chatter felt pain clearly even at this moment. In other words, he would never forgive them, just like he couldn't forgive William now.

Due to the migration of time, and the sweet bunker of the dream world. The pain he felt gradually became "numb". Gradually, he stopped thinking about where he was in reality; he also learned not to delve into the reason why he couldn't wake up from his dream. Even so, the hatred is getting deeper and deeper. He didn't believe that Watanabe Feng didn't feel the same as himself at all.

"Yeah. I know. So what?" Charter's eyes flickered with disbelief, and the hand that was gripping his collar lost a little bit of strength. Gradually, Watanabe Feng's tone was no longer casual, but a little anxious, "What's more, I don't need you, an impulsive idiot, to meddle in my own business, right? Knowing what my situation is, it will only make me unable to Weigh the pros and cons rationally. If I become like you, I should reflect on it? And I just expressed my opinion, Thief Dream King is not asking your opinion alone. If you don’t accept it, don’t be unreasonable ?"

After that, Watanabe Kaede shifted his gaze to Elus, as if waiting expectantly for her decision. Chart also gritted his teeth and looked at her. Two grown youths interrogating a girl who is no older than fourteen years old in terms of appearance is really a strange scene. Seeing this, Elus let out a sigh of relief, stepped forward, walked towards the crack of the clock step by step, and stopped in front of the wooden shield.

"Think about it...Maybe Kaede Watanabe said it more rationally~" Elus said in a calm tone. Charte's face suddenly became quite ugly, and he took a step back feebly. However, before the King of Pirates of Dreams raised his mouth to show a triumphant smile, William's feet suddenly filled with nothingness. He lowered his head in confusion, and the moment he saw the magic circle, he broke away from the shackles of the King of Pirates of Dreams and fell into an endless abyss. .

Immediately, the girl's playful voice sounded—"But~ I'm sorry, I won't cooperate with Dream Thief anyway."

The Thief King was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Elus' answer to be like this, so he didn't expect her to act so suddenly. When he realized that William was being pulled away from him by gravity at an extremely fast speed, he hurriedly jumped over the magic circle on the clock dial, trying to catch the falling William, but found that there were several magic circles directly facing him in all directions. showed up. William's figure also completely disappeared at this time.

"You...why?" The Thief of Dreams gritted his teeth and looked at Elus with a ferocious face. In his opinion, there was no reason to reject him. In addition, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Because you remind me of some people... Your eyes are the same as theirs - those black magic cultists." Elus raised the corner of her mouth, she didn't know what this smile meant. Whether it was the mocking sneer at the Pirates of Dream King's misstep, or the irony when he recalled standing at a loss in the fiery red town and the picture of hell. Or, perhaps, both.

"FREEZE—the goddess of ice standing in front of me, please freeze its fiery consciousness!" Elus raised her right hand towards the King of Pirates, and ice blue magic circles appeared around her one after another, trapped tightly The King of Pirates of Dreams lived, and then the light on the lines became more and more dazzling, and he was temporarily trapped in the purgatory of light and heat.

Seeing this scene, Zach quickly raised his "hands" - the erected turret aimed at the huge crack in the clock with ease. The second hand of the clock is about to turn to the position of the number "11" again. Accompanied by the roar of the cannonballs rubbing against the track, he clenched his throat and roared as if he had exhausted all his strength, and the fluorescent blue light wrapped in the light flew away.

Elus, who had expected it and stood there, stepped on the wooden shield under her feet, quickly caught it with her left hand, and blocked it in front of her. In an instant, a lingering purple mist spewed out from the imprint of the white skull, spreading to every part of the fleeting silver light, suddenly slowing down the flying speed of the cannonball several times. Neither of the two strong lights would give way, and they were stalemate in mid-air, being torn apart by the two forces and trembling.

The corner of Zach's mouth twitched uncontrollably, he stepped hard on the ground under his feet, and the moment the pointer turned to his home field, he took a sudden step forward. Both sides are in charge of this second of the moment, even if Eluse has to allocate half of the magic power to support the icy magic circle that traps the Thief King, it will only end in a tie at best.

But Elus was distracted by the scene in front of her, her eyes widened in disbelief—the magic circle that trapped the Thief was just about to spew out icy temperature to freeze him, and under the icy blue light he But his body flickered like a phantom. After the smoke and magic circle dissipated, the person who was frozen in the crystal-like pure ice was no longer the King of Pirates of Dreams.

As if taking advantage of this opportunity, Zach took a few steps forward, and Eluse's petite body slid back for a long distance, and the gravel left by the broken clock was all under the heels. Suddenly, she found that the light scattered from the silver clock at the crack of the clock happened to graze her body. Elus took the opportunity to grab the blue magic power, and suddenly withdrew her right hand and pushed forward.

Seeing that the pointer had just left his own world, Zach quickly dodged to the side. The cannonball that lost its support on one side was instantly lost to the reddish nothingness, piercing straight through a star.

Elus pursed her lips, and looked back to the clock from the starry sky, only to be shocked to find that Zach's figure had disappeared. She couldn't help but looked around in a panic, only to see someone threw a heavy punch at an extremely fast speed and hit her abdomen hard. Elus held on to the staff so that she didn't fall down with this force.

The figure quickly rushed behind him, passing by Charte's side. Chalt just wanted to take a step forward to grab the girl, but instead he was kicked on the cheek by the other side. Chart hurriedly took a step back, and the figure of the lollipop girl had completely disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. Chalt reached out and wiped the bloody smell from the corner of his mouth, and waved his fists that had nowhere to vent into the air.

"Hey, are you... all right?" Chalt lowered his fist and took a few steps towards Elus. Elus stared straight ahead and shook her head slightly.

"It's okay." Her voice sounded weak and unreassuring. After a while, she said again, "Didn't Uncle William say that before? Now is my time, and this injury will recover soon."

After saying that, Elus walked towards the frozen crystal. Kaede Watanabe was frowning and staring at the boy frozen in the crystal seriously, Elus naturally knew him too - the head on the right was sunken in strangely, and his eyes were staring blankly ahead. Under the pale face hung a particularly penetrating half-smile. Apparently it was the boy who had been shot dead by William just now.

"I said it a long time ago, the Dream Stealer is not that simple..." Watanabe Feng's tone was full of complaints. At a loss, Elus looked back at him in puzzlement and tilted his head slightly. Watanabe Feng sighed, pointed to the boy in the crystal, and murmured, "Don't you understand? The King of Pirates of Dreams has already prepared a complete plan!"

"I don't understand, what do you mean by being clear?" Chart frowned impatiently.

"Because I am also the owner of "Shape-shifting", so I know it all too clearly! This is clearly the exchange of places between the Dream Thieves and himself!"

Whether it was Elus or Chart, it was rare to see Kaede Watanabe speak in such an excited tone. Of course, Chart also understood what Kaede Watanabe said. Until now, Watanabe Feng still wants to tell himself that it is a very irrational choice to be an enemy of this kind of guy. Chart also understands this, but he absolutely cannot cooperate with the murderer who killed his mother, Baitu Mei. Not to mention after he had just admitted it.

"No matter what, you can't cooperate with the Dream Stealers anyway! You will definitely be stabbed in the back by them." Sounding a bit preposterous, Chart lowered the deer hunting cap on his head and coughed lightly. Seeing Chart's appearance, Watanabe Feng raised his hands very vigorously, and finally put them down again at a loss.

In this breathless silence, the dull sound of palms lowering and hitting thighs became the only sound. Elus sighed lightly, and straightened up with the staff on her back. According to how Zac and the girl escaped here in one go, it is obvious that they must have been prepared to escape long ago. This further proves that Watanabe Feng's words are correct - the Thief Dream King really planned to escape early in the morning.

"But no matter what, it's not nothing." Elus murmured softly. She squinted at the boy in the crystal, showing the warm smile she used to. Then she looked around again and suddenly remembered something. Immediately raised his right hand, a light red magic circle bloomed in the sky, and a middle-aged man's figure emerged from the magic circle, and fell heavily on the dial of the clock.

"Hiss..." William stood up in pain, clutching his chest, and coughed several times in pain, "You are cruel enough! Do you know that I fell into your magic circle from just now until now... It took a full five minutes to fall?!" William's tone was slightly complaining, and Elus stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, and put out the small sparks flying around her fingertips with her clasped hands.

"I'm sorry~ But otherwise, there is no way to save you from the Thief of Dreams, Uncle... Please be considerate a little bit~ It's just that I couldn't freeze the King of Thief." She frowned her beautiful brows, and a crystal light flashed in her eyes. William gently stroked Elus' head, and pointed to the crystal beside her.

"You can think of restricting the actions of other rulers in this way, which is considered a great growth for you. Besides—" William glanced at the pointer in front of him, which seemed to never stop no matter what. , and then said, "Even if it's not because the clock is your turn, your strength has obviously made a big breakthrough. I can clearly see all of this~"

William's words brought a good-looking smile to Elus's face again, but she still said bluntly: "Hmph~ don't always treat me like a child and talk sweet words!" I don't know what's funny . It is probably a kind of floating feeling caused by the bursts of pain from the impact all over the body. William suddenly couldn't help giggling.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Chalt shook his fist vigorously, and asked William sullenly. William then slowly put away his smile. Chalt snorted coldly, and said, "If the ruler's clock hadn't started running suddenly just now, do you know how much the decision you made just now would have an impact on us? Or do you think I would die because of your charity? feel happy?"

The remaining curvature of William's mouth gradually became a little bitter. He moved his mouth dryly, but he couldn't say anything.

"It's a charity... Isn't it too much? Huh? Or, are you actually showing your childish jealousy?" A male voice that sounded familiar came from afar. The knight Alket raised his whip, drove a white horse with a pair of silver wings, and came from a distance to the number two clock through nothingness. The red cloak with the holy sword logo printed on his back flutters majestically like the glory of a knight.

"You are not qualified to speak here. If you want to show off your prestige, please go back to your clock and be your knight." Chart impatiently put his hands in his pockets. But Arquette had no intention of leaving.

"Really? But as a bystander, I can see quite clearly." Arquette's eyes seemed to be looking for prey, and he paused deliberately to tantalize his appetite, before continuing, "Among the group of dream stealers A boy with a slightly fat body is because he has used a kind of dominance ability that allows people to obey their desires unconditionally.”

"You'd better be able to explain what's going on." Chart frowned. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, he still couldn't help asking Arquette in puzzlement.

"This is the ability to make the person he appoints unable to go against his own heart and obey his strongest desire. It will make people desperate to complete the thing they want to accomplish the most. I think William should be subject to this ability to dominate Because of the impact... that’s why you came here to save you regardless of the overall situation. What does this mean, I don’t think I need to explain it to you, do I?”

Arquette truthfully explained the reason, cast a meaningful glance at Chart, and then looked at William beside him with interest. Although this ability to gain insight into the dominance of all rulers allows Alket to see anyone's dominance at a glance. But he still couldn't figure out what the father and son were thinking.

"You're just watching from the sidelines, and you don't want to help. Now tell us that's your fare for a good show?"

Seeing that William was deliberately trying to avoid the topic just now, Arquette wisely stopped mentioning what happened just now, and simply let him go.

"Don't say that? If it were someone else, they wouldn't want to offend the Dream Thief so quickly. Besides, we don't belong to the same camp."

"Even if you don't want to take the initiative to provoke them, I'm afraid they have already set their sights on you?" William pointed out bluntly.

"So, do you have any tricks to avoid the pestering dream stealer?" Alcatel naturally understood the meaning of William's words. He squinted his eyes, looking forward to William's next response.

"It's not a good idea. From my point of view, the only good idea is to stand on the same front with the Dream Stealer's enemies earlier."

"Huh? Wouldn't it be more reliable to stand directly with the Dream Thief?"

Seeing that Arquette asked the question knowingly, William did not show any impatience, and explained it unhurriedly.

"With them, you can never guess when they will stab you, and how can they save their enemies until the end? But if you are with their enemies, you can't wait until the Dream Thief When you are alone, you will take care of each other. You don't have to deal with troublesome characters like them single-handedly. Am I wrong?" Arquette smiled and couldn't help laughing.

"However, a few minutes ago, you all rejected the Dream Stealer's alliance like that... why are you so enthusiastically inviting me now?" Arquette paused subtly, his blue pupils were like deep pools of water, "Before .Before the domination war started, I remember I suggested to you to form an alliance, but you politely ignored the topic. What's going on now? Changed your mind so quickly?"

"First of all, you are different from Dream Thief. So I don't think they can be compared. Second, I didn't answer you directly because I can't be irresponsible to kill the ruler of the entire clock just because of my trust in you. I entrusted myself with my own opinion. And now I can conclude that it is right to form an alliance with you, so I will do it naturally." William's words made the smile on Arquette's face unavoidably stronger.

"I really didn't expect Mr. William to be so good at talking." Arquette said while taking a few steps towards William, "Okay. Since Mr. William's invitation is so kind, I can't refuse you anymore, right?"

Arquette stopped in her tracks, lightly took off the black leather gloves she was wearing, and stretched out her hand. William was also taken aback, and firmly held his hand. The two seemed to take this as a testimony of their alliance, and for some reason, in the eyes of the two of them, this seemed to be much more reliable than any contract. Probably because they firmly believe that each other will keep their vows.

"Then you don't have any objections?" William asked, turning his head slightly. Elus naturally agreed with her head held high and a smile. Chalt wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth and nodded with a disdainful expression on purpose. Among them, Watanabe Feng had the ugliest expression on his face, but he was also uncomfortable.

At this time, a man shaking a black cloak descended onto the clock with ease. Holding a royal blue crystal in the shape of a cube, he walked along the edge of the clock to the side of William and Arquette.

"Phew... those dream stealers are gone at last." Yin seemed to relieve the heavy breath that suppressed his heart, and gently placed the crystal on the dial of the clock.

"You guy, are you the fastest to escape when something happens?" Seeing what he said, William quickly stretched out his finger and stood up.

"How can there be? If I stay here, I guarantee that I will disappear together with these magic tools." Yin raised his head slightly and replied confidently.

"I remember when you asked us to protect you just now, you used the same excuse..." Elus pouted helplessly, and Yin coughed slightly in embarrassment. I saw Elusi said again, "Why don't you tell us how to bring over the things from our dream world, so we don't need to bother you~"

"Haven't you heard a saying? 'Give someone the method of fishing, and I will soon be useless. But give someone a few fish, and they will cry and beg me when they finish eating'."

"Ugh, sorry, I've only heard that "teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish." Elus put her index finger on her mouth, tilted her head, and replied like this.

"Actually, that's the only sentence I've ever heard..." Chartre adjusted the deerstalker hat on his head, and gave him a slight glance, "Speaking of which, you made up the sentence you said, right?"

"Really? But in fact, this is the principle of being a human being." Yin vaguely passed the topic. The crystals at the feet continuously scatter fluorescent blue light towards the crack.

William on the side reached into his pocket and took out the previous crystal ball, but he still couldn't see anything through it—"Absolute Observation" was still disabled.

"Afterwards, the Dream Thief will definitely come over three times and four times... I think they will never let us successfully repair the ruler's clock." William muttered softly, raised his head again, and looked around. Circle around, "Charter, please go and find Xia Yinci and Su Luoyang. Without them in the next guard battle, it will be difficult to resist the dream thief's wheel battle."

"Tch... don't talk to me in such an orderly tone." Chart gave William a disdainful look, and quickly passed him.

William sighed and snapped his fingers. Then a world gate with a dancing dragon pattern appeared on top of the number "7" out of thin air.

"Hey. After you go, you must remember the location of the World Gate. Otherwise, if you can't find Xia Yinci, you won't be able to come back." William couldn't help but reminded, but Charte had long since turned his head. Walked into the other side of the door. Chart, who has not unlocked the dream palace, cannot open the world door as he likes. Only in his own dream world can he come to the cracks of the dream through the only world door. Of course William was worried.

"Eluth, I need your help with something." William sighed lightly, picked up the cigarette holder, and moved his gaze from the World Gate to Elus' side. Elus hummed in confusion, William gently pulled her aside, and said in a low voice, "Just now I was controlled by the Dream King and I couldn't speak. He should have sent that black knight to Su Huilin's world just now. , she might be in danger. Just to be on the safe side, you should go there."

"Okay~ then leave it to me~" Elus nodded seriously. Although she is not very familiar with Su Erin, she does not want her partners who participated in the domination war to be in any danger. She quickly called out her world gate, but just as she was about to step into the other end of the gate, William suddenly stopped her again.

"One more thing..." William glanced at this time and whispered something into Elus' ear. Eluse stared at William in disbelief. And William turned his head calmly. Elus was also stunned for a moment, and disappeared in front of everyone together with the World Gate.

"What did Elus do?" Watanabe Kaede turned his gaze back to William and asked nonchalantly.

"There is just something that needs to be confirmed by her. Don't worry." After that, he looked at Arkaite and Yin, smiled and said, "I need your help again so soon——Let's go this way It will be bad if the dream stealers take advantage of this time to attack. So please send some people to guard the clock here before they come..."

Arquette responded heartily. And just as he galloped the white horse back to clock number three, a silver-gray iron door suddenly appeared on the number "3".

——White Cat, Black Cat and Xue Xueer came out from the other side of the door.
