Chapter 478: Transcendent Hero: Dream Thief

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Roar!”

Eagle Peak looked like a sharp dagger pointing at the sky.

A giant Azure Dragon circled around the peak, and people could see the flickering lightning from 10km away.

Splash!

To the east of Eagle Peak, the gray fog rolled like waves and kept smashing against the “wall” formed by the Azure Dragon’s giant body.

However, with the Azure Dragon and the rampaging blue wind on Eagle Peak, the gray fog couldn’t move forward an inch.

Eagle Peak wasn’t the only area under attack.

The navy camp in the north, the Demon Volcano in the south, and the technology center in the west were being attacked as well.

The gray fog had surrounded all the areas and was attacking them like lapping waves.

However, the giant Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger of the Five Direction Feng Shui Formation had stopped the fog with their giant bodies.

“Roar!”

Above the center of Dragon City, a yellow dragon was soaring in the sky.

It kept fighting back the fog that tried to infiltrate from above after failing to enter the settlement on the ground.

Hum!

Two streaks of golden light appeared in the distant sky and reached Dragon City in a split second.

It was Li Guang and Ji Ye.

Like Li Guang, Ji Ye also had a pair of golden wings on his back.

[Golden Wings]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Common]

[Description: The wings of a yaksha queen. The master of Dragon City had briefly refined them, giving them a great speed!]

Ji Ye didn’t want any resources to go to waste, so he had cut off the yaksha queen’s wings and turned them into equipment after some simple Fusion.

Dragon City obtained a great amount of power of providence after defeating the yakshas.

As the main fighter of the battle, he had gained a lot of contribution points, as well as the “quota” for new talent skills.

Of course, he had only briefly refined the Golden Wings. They would have to go through some serious Fusion to become Transcendent equipment.

But they were good enough for traveling at the moment.

“Everything seems to be in order. We’re on time!”

Despite the great fog, the battle hadn’t officially started yet. Seeing this, Ji Ye moved his fingers and made a hand seal.

Hum!

The Feng Shui Imperial Jade Seal that suspended over the formation and kept absorbing the power of the Dragon Terrain for the yellow dragon trembled slightly.

Immediately after that, the giant yellow dragon made its way and let them pass.

“Master Ji, I’ll go help the east side!”

After the Taichi Dragons absorbed the small amount of Dense Fog coming in after the two people, Li Guang activated his Night King Light Armor and headed for the east side, where the gray fog’s attack was the fiercest, while Ji Ye landed on the altar.

“Master Ji!”

“Master Ji and Chief Li are back.”

“Great! The yaksha settlement was destroyed then.”

A group of Dragon City members was already on the altar.

They were glad to see Ji Ye and Li Guang.

Apart from Su Nongying, the Head of Logistics, and Elder Zhou and Guo Wei, who were in charge of human resources, a man and a woman caught their eyes.

They were both blue-eyed and fair-skinned with well-defined features, which was quite different from regular members of Dragon City.

“Master Ji, a pleasure to meet you. I’m Dom Cobb!”

The man in the white shirt and black suit seemed to be in his 30s and was very handsome despite his combed-back hair.

When he saw Ji Ye descending to the altar, he immediately rose to his feet and tentatively greeted Ji Ye in the Chidragon language with a slight accent.

“Master Ji, Mr. Cobb here is...”

The woman with platinum hair and red lips also looked remarkable. Her clothes were no different from other Dragon City members and looked quite excited. She was about to make the introduction.

“I know who he is.

“Commander Cobb is the famous Dream Thief. Welcome to Dragon City!”

Ji Ye smiled warmly.

But he looked perplexed after he turned to Su Nongying.

“Why him?”

“After the gray fog started moving, we followed your instruction and carried out a sacrificial ritual, asking for a hero that had a dream-related ability.”

Su Nongying explained in the internal channel of SkyNet.

Yes, it was about dreams.

After the incident Ji Ye experienced during the Fusion of Nightmare Horn, he spent some power of providence to analyze the Dense Fog he had received as a reward. Afterward, he confirmed that apart from devouring the souls of the creatures entering the fog and controlling their bodies, the fog had another ability. That was, it could use dreams to imprison and destroy the consciousness of creatures nearby.

The targets would die in their sleep!

That was why he left instructions that the soldiers guarding the fog had to stay awake.

But that would only cure the symptom, not the disease.

They couldn’t keep everyone awake forever. The soldiers might be able to do that, but older and weaker members, especially children, couldn’t do that.

To solve the problem permanently, they needed professionals.

Although Ji Ye learned some things about dreams during the fusion of the Nightmare Horn, the Transcendent item was still in a damaged state, and even Nightmare itself couldn’t break free from the fog.

Therefore, the best way was to summon a dream-related hero when the fog took action.

Where would they find the Transcendent Soul of Civilization and offering for the summoning?

After his advancement, Ji Ye’s Fusion talent could work on Soul of Civilization as well.

With all the senior-level flying yakshas they had killed, they obtained enough Souls of Civilization to fuse a Transcendent-level one.

As for the offering, there was the Superior and Rare Devil’s Parchment and the Excellent Hundred Ghost Whip dropped by Granny Tree Demon in Dragon City’s vault.

“After some discussion, we chose the Devil’s Parchment because it was Rare and could ensure a successful ritual to the largest extent.

“And we succeeded. However, the hero summoned was rather unexpected...”

Instead of a Chidragon hero, they summoned a handsome man who was obviously from another country!

As for the beautiful woman with platinum hair next to him, she wasn’t a hero.

She was a player.

She was one of the fourth-batch players who joined Dragon City the other day.

And she was one of the few “top-up players” in this game.

To join Dragon City, her father, the richest man in the world, paid over 30 billion in Chidragon currency for an invitation sent out by Ji Ye himself.

Needless to say, that was the most expensive ticket in history.

Because of that, Emma became the first foreign member of Dragon City.

Normally, a hero from another country wouldn’t come to a settlement like Dragon City, which had the background of ancient Chidragon.

But accidents happened sometimes.

“He has lost his memory!”

Su Nongying told Ji Ye on the internal channel.

[Dom Cobb]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]

[Rarity: Quasi Boss]

[Description: As the most remarkable Dream Thief, he is very skillful at stealing dreams and planting ideas in other people’s minds.] action

As the main character of the film Inception, the man’s charm and charisma were definitely worth the Perfect evaluation.

Moreover, controlling dreams was also a Transcendent skill.

Theoretically, to summon this man, Dragon City would need a Perfect offering.

But he had lost his memory, so a Superior offering would be enough, and Devil’s Parchment just happened to be a Superior one.

As for why a Perfect Transcendent hero would lose his memory, it was because his previous settlement had been defeated and destroyed by an alien race. Just like Ninth Uncle and Nie Xiaoqian, he had been downgraded.

In the Battlefield of Providence after the Ten-Species Competition, Dragon City wasn’t the only one who had obtained Special and Perfect offerings.

A few powerful settlements had obtained them as well. They just didn’t have as many as Dragon City did.

Apparently, this Transcendent hero had been summoned by a settlement of his own country before, and after his settlement failed, because he was interested in the Dense Fog, because the destruction of his settlement had something to do with it, or because he was looking forward to joining the top Earth settlement, he chose to answer the summons and became Dragon City’s first foreign hero.
