[Welcome to the Dream Realm, Lilith Arcane!]
Lilith Looked around herself. She sniffed the air and smelled human blood nearby.
'A single human… its a sleeper. i recognize the smell, his name should be James… i don't quite remember what his abilities are. i didn't listen… at least i won't go hungry. ill suck his blood if i have to.'
Lilith looked around herself, it was fully Dark everywhere. Teacher Julius said it was True Darkness. but Lilith was a Vampire. darkness was an ally.. kinda..
They were in an underground cave.
She walked toward James, he was only 20 meters away. He was panicking. He clearly didn't have a memory to see in the Dark nor to light up the surroundings.
Lilith didn't try to hide her footsteps, that made James even more scared and panicked.
"Who goes there!?"
James screamed after throwing a punch in the direction of the steps.
Lilith easily evades and kicks him in the stomach, avoiding to cut him with her feets long and sharp nails. The kick makes him fall down on the ground, holding his stomach.
"Are you done panicking dumbass? If so , get up so we can go find an exit to this cave."
James coughed and stood up
"W-Who are you..?"
Lilith sighed and said
"I'm a Fellow Dreamer, Lilith Arcane.'
After James was done asking stupid questions they started walking, Lilith held James by the arm as they walked.
James was wearing armor, while Lilith was Still Naked. She could summon [Void Dress] but decides against it for now. there were no enemies to fight, and James could not see her.
James asks
"Where do you think we are..?"
Lilith answers in a stupid manner.
"In a Cave."
James opens his mouth but closes it. He knows better than to bother his only hope of survival. Too bad Lilith was already planning to use him as Food if necessary. or a body shield if necessary.
"What are your abilities again James?"
James hesitated not more then a second and said
"I'm able to move up walls easily."
..'Not useful but not useless.. for now he lives.'
"It could come in handy. it means i'll take on the role of a fighter should the need arise, i have an enhancement aspect ability."
After that the journey was silent. After 8 hours or so of walking they stopped to rest. Lilith asked.
"Do you have any useful Memories?"
James flinched a little before saying.
"I have my armor memory. a sword memory. and a spatial memory. I keep most of my things inside. its not very big but good enough"
Lilith asked.
"Do you have food and water?"
James nodded, knowing I can see in the dark.
"I have 4 liters of water and a lot of food bars that are highly nutritional. beside that i keep tools and a lot of things that could come in handy."
Lilith taught for a moment.
"Very well, let's not eat or drink for now. let's conserve them."
Lilith and James Walked for 3 days when they finally saw light. It was moonlight. It was night outside.
James noticed she was Naked, but she didn't mind it. Because of her flaw, she didn't feel scared of such things. and she apparently wasn't a shy person.
Immediately, James went to see, but the fissure on the ceiling of the cave was not big enough for James to fit through. at the end of the cave was a Structure that was cut out of stone. Lilith didn't know what it could be, maybe a temple for a cult, maybe a noble's grave or a sanctuary or catacombs. But, in front of the door was a Guardian. probably of the Awakened rank.
it was marble white, its skin looked wet, it had a oval face, sharp teeth, short legs but Very long arms, and it was wearing a full body armor that seemed made of the same stone from this cave.
Lilith summoned her giant stone bow and used it as a bat, she fought with the guardian, and after 30 seconds, she smashed its head and helmet.
[You have Killed an Awakened Demon, Grave Guardian.]
James had looked at the fight, and after it was done, he came and collected my Soul Shard for her.. putting them in his backpack memory.
'Does he think im stupid…? this fucker thinks im a pushover. he is so confident he wants to kill me… see how it goes..'
"Lets camp here. We will proceed tomorrow after sleeping and eating."
James did not oppose.
When it was Time for her to be the watch. she assured that James was asleep before walking toward the Grave Guardian body.
[You sucked Grave Guardians's blood, you received 12 blood fragments]
[Your Blood Core grows stronger.]
'..so i get double the fragments if I kill them…?'
Lilith Looks at James..
'I want to deal with him now, he is a liability, he could backstab me when I can't watch over my shoulder… but I don't have anything to restrain him with.. should I just kill him? but his Memories are useful..'
Lilith taught for a moment and devised a plan, it was simple.
Just like that. she throws a powerful kick in James sleeping face, and then another.. James passes out.
Then Lilith sucked almost 2 liters of James Blood. leaving him weak
[You sucked a Dormant Human, you received 1 blood Fragment]
[Your Blood Core grows Stronger.]
Lilith awaits a few hours when James wakes up. she holds her nails on his throat.
"Hand me all your Memories or your dead. if you do. I will leave you alive. whether you survive or not its not my problem."
James glared at her with a cold expression. his face and neck were in pain.
[You have Received a Memory, Medium Bag.]
[You have Received a Memory, Bastard Sword.]
[You have Received a Memory, Scavenger's Armor.]
Before the spell was even done, Lilith ended her Job, her sharp nails piercing his neck.
[You killed a Dormant Beast: Dormant Human.]
'..Problem solved.. I… feel bad.. but it was necessary.. I won't be as weak as to feel guilty over someone who would have killed me with a smile. This was my decision.'
Lilith summoned the Medium Bag and made sure everything was still inside. After that she went to sleep.
