Chapter 259. <Seal the Dragon(龍封) (2) >
====================

4.
[Energy Dragon that Dwells in the Deep Sea falls asleep.]
The giant turtle slowly slammed his head into the dense forest.
Thud!
Gritty dust scattered among the palm trees that the giant felled.
[Energy Dragon that Dwells in the Deep Sea falls into a deep sleep.]
The Energy Dragon’s back continuously moved up and down gently. It began to breathe comfortably. Fwooooh, the sound of its breathing was great…and every time the Energy Dragon’s breath flowed in and out and out of its nose, the vegetation in the forest shook as if caught in a gale.
-Hmm.
Beneath the palm trees swaying beneath the dragon’s breath, a person shook their wings.
-We selected only the most elite dream demon unit at handling, leading, and guiding in our race. There is no need to worry.
It was a vampire race executive.
The executive didn’t blink a single time while talking. Their posture was strange, and their language pronunciation was clumsy and awkward as if they were using a translator.
This was natural.
This vampire was a kind of connection window. They had been completely possessed by the dream demon race and their memory, mind and even body had been completely taken over.
“Ugo.”
In front of them, Ubukra had a somewhat perplexed expression.
“I’m sorry but, what is your name…?”
-[We] do not have a name.(TL: We are Legion)
The handsome vampire said expressionlessly.
-We are we(us).
“That assertion is as useless as [Daddy is crazy].”
-We do not have ‘you’ nor ‘I’. Just a dream. In that dream, anyone can be ‘you’ and anyone can be ‘I’. Therefore, we are we(us).
Uburka shrugged.
“Ah, well, I’ll understand it as you just have a lot of pages. Is that okay?”
-…
“Since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take it that you don’t mind. Ugor. So, dream demon gentleman, no, gentlemen. How long will the Energy Dragon be asleep?”
Raising his hand, Uburka pointed towards the monster.
The Energy Dragon was unimaginably huge. It would not be wrong to call it an island. Every twenty minutes or so, the peerless island breathed in, then twenty minutes after, it breathed out.
A true heaving mountain.
-Now! Quickly finish the construction, Rime!
Snails climbed along the sides of this very mountain.
-All tasks must be completed before the dragon wakes up!
-Cover the entire body in supports! We have to create enough space so that as many people as possible can gather and train. Rimu. This guy’s body is constantly moving, so take that into account as well!
-Finish the construction in one day, today!
They were the members of the snail race who were in charge of the construction in this operation.
As many as 4,000 snails climbed onto the monster’s body. Unlike most races, who had to stick to walking on the ground, members of the snail race could walk on walls through the use of their sticky mucus.
It was the same now. The heaving mountainside was nothing more than a light picnic course for the snail race. With their four or five tentacles gripping various tools and pieces of lumber. From a distance, they looked like the tiny lilliputians climbing the giant body of Gulliver.
“Those kids shouldn’t get hurt during the construction.”
Uburka spoke.
“At this very moment, hundreds of thousands of people are coming from all over the continent. Perhaps even over a million. I wonder what that dragon will do when it wakes up and finds everyone stuck to it and sucking its aura.”
-7 days.
The dream demon possessed vampire said.
The cheeky expression on Uburka’s face was instantly erased, and he turned to look at the vampire with a serious expression.
“7 days? Can you really make it sleep for 7 days? Ugor. That’s amazing…”
-If we were to classify the number of our dream demon race according to your standards, it would amount to 800,000 people. As many as 800,000 dream demons are working together to imitate the sea, use illusions to display the cool texture of the waves, and show the Energy Dragon whatever it wants to see, from illusions of simply killing the impure, to illusions of tearing them apart and torturing them. 800,000 individuals.
“…”
-We are satisfying the Energy Dragon’s happiness, comforting its unhappiness, encouraging it to overcome its trauma by leading it to the root of its unhappiness, questioning why it exists, and what is the purpose of its existence. That is what 800,000 dream demons are doing together.
The vampire let out a small sigh.
-In any case, until the 7th day, we will let that monster sleep so soundly it won’t even snore. It will depend on how much of that monster’s aura in those 7 days. If possible, it would be good if we can absorb enough aura so that it would become shriveled like a puppet.
As if that was all it had to say, the vampire flapped its wings.
Suddenly, Uburka reached out and grabbed the vampire’s leg. Flap, flap, the sound of flapping wings continued, but the vampire was unable to fly into the sky.
-What is it?
The vampire— dream demons, asked as if dumbfounded.
“I’m sorry but, ugo. I still have something to ask you.”
-Ask.
“As far as I know, from hundreds of years ago, when my daddy went to your dream world or whatever it’s called and came back, weren’t you guys just a bunch of selfish bastards?”
-…
“As long as it was to expand your world of dreams, you didn’t care if a mermaid, goblin, or any other race, died or not. You were happy to just live in dreams forever and enjoy endless performances. So why would you cooperate in such a major event that will put the fate of your species at stake, because of a change of heart?”
Silence fell for a moment.
-It seems you don’t believe in the good intentions of people, Chairman of the Fire River Council.
“Unfortunately, I only believe in my own good intentions.”
-You are half right and half wrong.
“Mm?”
Uburka tilted his head to the side.
Looking down at the largest goblin in history, the corners of the dream demons’ lips rose slightly.
-You not only believe in your good intentions, but also the good intentions of your father.
“…”
-Tell your father. Next time he visits our world, it won’t be as easy as [last time]. Even the creator of the continent was put into such a state by us. Your daddy, who you worship as a god will be no different!
For the first time, the dream demons let out a laugh. And when Uburka’s grip loosened, they pulled away their foot and flew into the sky without regret.
Flap.
As the single dream demon flew away, hundreds, thousands of vampires flew after it. It was as if they had been waiting in the shadows of the forest for the conversation to end. Countless vampires flapped their spread wings, covering the sky like the leaves of a palm tree.
