Lucid Dream: Wonderland
04-attack/Cerberus

It's not just me. Almach was not wrinkled, his mouth was almost gaping. I bit my lower lip, gulped and rubbed my forehead which was filled with cold dryness.

"Well, it's so bad" whispered a voice from my head. "I've never seen Cerberus change that way" he continued, amazed.

This matter was too big, he would not be able to fight it. Auman's voice was heard again. Ugh terrible, my hair immediately stood up. From afar I could see the pupils of Cerberus' eyes were shrinking, along with it the claws were also coming out and no less sharp.

Cerberus revealed his sharp teeth that seemed to have been itching to tear something apart, the eyes filled with anger continued to give a strong aura of intimidation. Almach can only stand sculpted, not move at all. Oh, my God, how now?

"You scared?" whispers of voices in my head.

"Who is not afraid at a time like this" I grumbled. Seeing such a monstrous creature just happened to my life for the first time.

"Yosh, is this the time for Alphard to shine?!" said the voice claiming to be named Alphard excitedly, his voice echoing all over my head. Jeez, sucks.

"What are you gonna do?" my question is full of search.

"Borrow a little bit of your energy and beat it" he said.

"What?" ask me not to understand.

"Calm down, man, I'm just asking for a few".

Whatever that voice means, but I just think of it as nonsense. I returned my attention to Almach.

But he wasn't where he was standing just now, hey where is he now?! My eyes began to search for that figure, but I could not find it. The Cerberus roared back, he must have been very upset.

Meanwhile, where is Almach now?

As my attention focused on finding Almach, out of nowhere, a giant and super-fast slash flew towards Cerberus. The ground that the slash passed through was instantly shattered, leaving behind a long and deep trail.

Half amazed and half scared, that's how I feel. But wait, Cerberus is gone.  My eyes turned around again, circling every corner but I still did not see the giant Cerberus anywhere.

Jeez, is this what the figure feels when he sees the protagonist overpowering like this?

"Sadly, again he precedes me" Alphard said in an annoyed tone.

"What do you mean?" ask me not to understand.

"What's? You still don't understand this situation? Oh, my God, that's right" he said, putting me down.

"Then what is going on?" My eyebrows go up next door. I snorted in annoyance.

"Look, they'll be out soon and this seemingly senseless fight will continue"

Of all his words, I can only understand half, more I don't know. I'm sick of thinking right now.

DUARR...

The situation that had been calm returned. Just now a big explosion occurred, accompanied by the sound of Auman Cerberus disappearing and the fire. The origin of the sound was from outside the forest, where the corpses of the animals were scattered .

Quickly without reducing my vigilance, I tried to get closer to see what was happening there.

Who'sis that? Uh Almach? The long-haired figure and the scarred face returned, ready with his sword and sturdy horses. Meanwhile, before him was a giant Cerberus filled with wounds .

Wait, is it possible that the slash came from Almach's sword? Ha, everything is rearranged in my head. I get it now. This dream world is filled with surprising things, all possibilities until the absurd can happen here.

***

The fight continued, though full of injuries Cerberus did not lose his speed.

He quickly ran forward and dodged the sabre thrown by Almach's sword. Spitting a long hot flame in front of Almach. Oh, my God, it's awful to see that. I watched it even harder to breathe.

Cerberus was approaching in his direction. His movements were getting faster and agile while dodging. Almach looks a little troubled by that, Cerberus distance is only 10 meters away from him. Almach wanted to dodge but he lost quickly, a burst of flames devouring him.

I gulped, my God, is he safe? The explosion happened after that, the ground shook it made. The cold sweat kept on pouring out, I had no idea what was going on there.

Smoke billowed from where Almach was and I vaguely saw a shadow. Oi, he survived! The smoke faded away in the wind. I saw Almach again. He was still standing firm after the attack.

I can't stop thinking, if I were there, I would have been burned to death by now. How to survive that fire?

I can see his nose getting longer from here.

"Isn't he also strong for still surviving this senseless fight?!" my word.

"Of course, but this is just the basic power. If you look at her magic power, you'll be even more amazed" Alphard continued.

"Magic? Does magic apply here?" manya curious.

"Ck, what the fuck? So ancient. In this day and age, there are those who do not have magic unless you are a resident of Dheray" he explained.

Ck, how do I know about it. I don't live in the middle of nowhere anyway. My world is better, full of advanced technology.

***

"Gee, I haven't fought like this in a long time" Almach lifted up next to the tip of his lips. Smiling with a little spirit.

"Either what the gods thought, but he sent me many gifts like this. Jesus, you're too good, so Cerberus from hell you've dropped him here" he continued.

The Cerberus stared furiously, trying to get close to the Almcah and trying to catch it with his big teeth.

He moved swiftly and nimbly dodged the slash coming from the sword. His two front legs were made into a pedestal, then Cerberus jumped towards Almach about to claw it. But, Almach managed to survive thanks to his cool sword.

"Let's finish this big fella. I don't like to play around" whispered Almach while holding Cerberus' claws with his sword. "With magic or not, I will end it as soon as possible before another gift comes from that annoying god. Be prepared."

Almach took a swing, strengthened the horses and tightly grasped his sword. It was enough of her being underestimated like that.

Almach took a deep breath, then dashed swiftly towards the Cerberus while avoiding his hot burst of flames. Moreover, the fire that was originally flaming red turned blue. Right, that means Cerberus' fire breath evolved into a more arrow.

The three heads of Cerberus continued to alternate spitting fire, understanding how they worked to cover every gap to attack. Some of his attacks can be overcome by Almach, but not by some others. The flames that gushed out left a light burn scar on his body.

"Ck, Goddamn. Did your attacks also evolve?!" Almach continued to dodge their attacks while searching for the gap that was still open.

Looking at his meaningful eyes, he managed to find a gap. The stomach was unprotected, the three heads would not be able to burn anything beneath them. He only needs to find a gap so when moving down his stomach.

Some attacks continued to be launched. Up to 5 meters from them, Almach increased his speed and surfed down his body. Within a few seconds of that short time, Almach's sword stood vertically and sliced through Cerberus' stomach.

Cerberus could not touch and attack him in such a state. Her stomach was torn and shed a lot of blood and contents.

Cerberus stood speechless while his stomach continued to spout red liquid. Cerberus fell, the heads were in pain and in a few moments Cerberus was finally dead.

"Ah, thank God, your gift is so much fun."

***

Almach won his victory. But, shortly after the enemy fell, Almach fell. His body collapsed and lay unconscious on the ground. After seeing the surroundings, I ventured myself to get out of the tree territory and help Almach.

After that I dragged-ah, ah I mean take her well back to the shady forest then lean on one of the trees.

I sighed, leaned back and straightened my legs. Too many weird but cool things are happening today. To the point that I forgot my true purpose. Gosh, until now I still think about my purpose of being trapped in this dream and experiencing something like that.

"Hmm.you're right. Seeing all your memories made me think hard about it" Alphard's voice surprised me. He appeared and continued to appear suddenly like that.

"What do you see in my memory?" ask me in a half-in disbelief tone. "You violated my privacy by seeing it without my permission."

"That girl, she's so cute" he said suddenly.

"..Yes, she is indeed cute" I said in a flat tone with a faint smile to remember her, she could really see my memories.

"Huh.huh, I don't want to talk about it. By the way there's one thing I have to explain" Alphard said, shifting the topic.

"What?" my many.

"My opponent and Almach" he said in a dramatic tone.

"What?! so you have a connection with Almach?" I tried to poke her, put my hands in front of my mouth, to dramatize.

"Yes, but not that kind of relationship. I'm serious, so listen to me carefully, son" acting like an old man, I choose to be quiet and listen to the whole story.
