Seizing Dreams Chapter 106

Chapter 88.2 - Courage

Ch88.2 – Courage

Medusa suddenly rushed forward. Zhou Sheng resolutely raised his shield, and with a “dang”, he resisted Medusa’s sharp claws.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“In this world.” Dark Zhou Sheng held a cup of Long Island Iced Tea, “Not everything can proceed just as one wishes, and not all wishes would come true. If most problems could merely be solved with willpower and courage alone, how could there be so much helplessness in the world?”

Yu Hao nervously watched the battle between Zhou Sheng and Medusa. He muttered, “But there are many actions that need to be taken first before knowing what the outcome will be.”

Zhou Sheng escaped to the corner of the arena. Medusa initiated a frenzied offence; the harsh blows of her sharp claws upon the shield were like a tempestuous storm. Zhou Sheng relied solely on the shield to resist them and had no chance to retaliate. The collisions against metal resounded thunderously.

His black dragon mount glared at the scene like a tiger watching its prey, but it didn’t dare go forward, as if it had an innate fear of Medusa.

Zhou Sheng was clad from head to toe in armour so Yu Hao couldn’t see his expression, but he knew that he must be having a hard time enduring it. He was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

Zhou Sheng, completely covered in armour, suddenly raised his hand, found an opportunity, and a long sword appeared in his hand!

That was the sword Zhou Sheng wielded while assuming “General”’s identity when he first appeared in his dream! Zhou Sheng hardly ever used it since he got the jingubang. At this moment, the blade flashed. As he turned around, he made a sweeping motion with his sword, and an arc was drawn in the air.

Medusa let out a blood-curdling screech as she was sent flying. The long nails on her left hand had been cut off by the sword; blood splashed everywhere, and when she landed, wisps of greenish black smoke emitted into the air.

Iron-Armoured General spun around in the air, swung his shield out, and swept through with his sword. But when Medusa landed, she gathered her energy in her tail and flicked it towards him like a bolt of lightning and waved her sharp claws. General instantly retreated, and his helmet was knocked away!

Yu Hao’s heart lodged in his throat.

Medusa’s eyes shot out a petrifying beam. Zhou Sheng used his shield to block it. A long tail swept over from the ground and knocked him down, while at the same time, the black dragon finally rushed out from behind Medusa. Medusa turned around, and the black dragon suddenly withdrew in horror.

Zhou Sheng’s breastplate was now dented from the impact. He took off his gauntlets and gloves with one hand and threw them to the ground, which made a clanging sound when they landed. He moved his fingers about, shook his shield, and turned it into a jingubang. With a sword in his left hand and a jingubang in his right, he crossed them together and watched Medusa vigilantly.

Medusa revealed a ferocious smile as she slithered towards Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng let out a mad shout and rushed towards Medusa. He rolled over on the spot, brandished both his sword and the jingubang at the same time and threw her up; then he swung his sword down, and the nails on Medusa’s sharp right claws broke!

Medusa was now in mid air with her long tail rolled upside down. Before Zhou Sheng could deal a critical hit to Medusa, she had already coiled around him, and her serpent tail swung him up into the air before violently smashing him down onto the ground!

Zhou Sheng practically landed head first, and Yu Hao seemed to have heard his skull hitting the ground, so he almost stood up!

“Don’t forget that Medusa’s weapons isn’t limited to just her pair of claws.” Dark Zhou Sheng said slowly.

Cheers that could topple the mountains and overturn the sea erupted from the audience. Zhou Sheng lay on the ground, struggling with much difficulty as he crawled towards his shield; blood was gushing from both his mouth and his nose.

Medusa flipped over and got up. She encircled Zhou Sheng and observed his reaction.

“I guess he doesn’t want to give up today.” Dark Zhou Sheng said, “But that’s okay. Even if he dies, there’s still me. Do you want to leave this place first?”

Yu Hao brandished his dagger and spun it between his fingers. He didn’t even spare Dark Zhou Sheng a glance.

“Jiayou……” Yu Hao said in a trembling voice, “Zhou Sheng, stand up.”

Zhou Sheng was shivering, still holding a sword in one hand and grasping the edge of his shield with the other. His armour was now twisted and broken from the impacts he had suffered, and he was struggling to prop himself up.

“The victor has been decided!” Dark Zhou Sheng cried out, “Medusa, shape your spoil of war well!”

The hand that Yu Hao was holding his dagger with couldn’t stop trembling; he saw Medusa use her snake tail to wrap around Zhou Sheng’s throat and lifted him high up into the air, smiling cruelly as she widened her eyes——

“Go!” Yu Hao shouted, and his dagger whooshed towards the arena like a silver meteor. Zhou Sheng blocked with his shield in his left hand, raised his sword with his right and his blade caught the dagger in mid-air, rotated it, and threw it downwards to firmly nail Medusa’s snake tail into the ground.

Dark Zhou Sheng suddenly turned around. Yu Hao stood up and retreated, holding his other dagger in front of him horizontally.

“I didn’t break the rules.” Yu Hao said in a low voice, “Look, I didn’t participate in the fight, did I? If my totem can be passed to Zhou Sheng, then so can my strength.”

The dagger suddenly shone with a glaring light. Medusa kept struggling, while Zhou Sheng used up all his strength to hold his shield up to face the sky.

“Come……ba……I summon……all of you……”

From the huge crack in the clouds, more than ten silver flames blasted through and crashed into the ground, and the arena fell into chaos. Yu Hao spread his wings out, flew up and avoided Dark Zhou Sheng. There were more and more meteors now, and when they landed on the ground, they turned into the NPC guards in Yu Hao’s dreamscape!

The whole earth was trembling along with this. Medusa let out a mad roar, turned around, and released her petrifying gaze. The NPCs all raised their bright reflective shields one after another, then threw out hooks from all directions that wrapped around Medusa and became a huge net.

In an instant, the glaring light jumped about in front of the shield. Yu Hao only saw a bright light shine in front of his eyes and thought to himself, crap, and immediately dodged. Dark Zhou Sheng was incredibly infuriated. He flipped the table; the grandstand was instantly petrified and collapsed with a loud rumble.

It was utter chaos in the arena. Zhou Sheng managed to break free and hide within the NPC’s battle formation. Medusa was dizzy with anger, constantly bumping into the formation, but more and more hooks were appearing on her body. Medusa kept trying to pull off the hooks on her before realising that her sharp claws had been cut off by Zhou Sheng through the openings he found!

Medusa shot out her petrifying gaze everywhere, and wherever it swept past, the ropes would shatter into pieces. But the number of hooks on her body kept increasing as they wrapped around her body tightly, forming a huge net. The black dragon spread its wings open and rushed over, knocking headlong into the net. Its dragon claws grabbed the rope, then it flapped its wings and lifted her off the ground!

Zhou Sheng couldn’t stop coughing. He leaned on his jingubang and let out a mad roar!

Zhou Sheng’s armour vanished like fleeting clouds, revealing a golden chainmail instead. Then he stepped onto his jindouyun and shouted, “Drop dead——!”

Zhou Sheng swung his jingubang and shot it into mid air with a whoosh, charging towards Medusa along with the jingubang and made one clean sweep!

The NPC soldiers all shouted at the same time, then pulled fiercely on the hooks in all directions!

Medusa fell towards the ground; Zhou Sheng flicked his rod upwards, which collided with the tremendous force overhead. With a muffled sound, all the hooks on Medusa’s body tore apart, and the snake woman flew into the air with her facial features contorted.

“The last trick has to be used, of course……”

Zhou Sheng held his shield with his left hand and his sword in his right; his body was suspended in mid air, parrying with his shield, then swung his sword out from below his shield. Blood gushed out of Medusa’s body that was in mid air, and her head fell straight down to the earth like a meteor!

“He succeeded!” Yu Hao shouted.

Yu Hao spread his wings out and flew towards the arena.

Amidst the deafening cheers, Zhou Sheng fell to the ground, breathless as he found it difficult to stand up straight. Yu Hao collided full on into his embrace.

Medusa’s head and body disintegrated into greenish black vapour and disappeared. A raging black fire sjpt out and flew towards the sharp sword in Zhou Sheng’s hand. It turned into strange patterns as it melded with the sword.

“The master of the dreamscape VS Medusa, victorious.”

Another round of cheers resounded.

“I need to change the rules.” Black flames swirled around Dark Zhou Sheng as he revealed his Satan form. Yu Hao could tell that Satan was trying his best to suppress his fury.

Zhou Sheng could hardly stand anymore and was resting his whole weight on Yu Hao. He raised his sword and pointed it at Satan.

“Cut the crap.” Zhou Sheng said, “Next.”

Yu Hao said in surprise, “You’re still fighting the next one??”

“Let me see what it is.” Zhou Sheng said feebly, “To satisfy my curiosity a little, can’t I?”

Satan floated in mid air and watched Zhou Sheng.

“Very good.” Satan said to the arena’ surroundings, “Master of the dreamscape, General, wants to challenge the next opponent! Let us see what he is about to go up against!”

The black flames vanished and a cage emerged. A black monster that was about ten metres tall appeared in the cage; it had gleaming horns, a barbed shell that covered its entire body, and within its huge mouth that looked like a bloody basin, its sharp teeth turned outwards, and the tip of its tail was still burning.

Yu Hao, “Um……forget it, General. It’s not necessary to be so perfect.”

Satan said, “Come, I’d really like to see how you can defeat Tao Tie.”

Yu Hao, “Let’s go! Zhou Sheng! We can’t defeat this guy!”

Zhou Sheng could only say, “We’ll meet again some day! We’ll be back!”

As he spoke, he summoned the jindouyun and flew out of the arena with a “whoosh” with Yu Hao.

On the cloud platform, Yu Hao healed Zhou Sheng’s wounds. Zhou Sheng’s eyes were full of smiles.

“Alright.” Zhou Sheng said, “The knot that has troubled me for so many years has finally been untied.”

Zhou Sheng laid on the platform. Millions of meteors flew into the Golden Crow Wheel and returned to their own world; that scene was incredibly gorgeous and lasted for just a few dozens of seconds, but Yu Hao was stunned by it.

“I think you already untied it a long time ago in reality.” Yu Hao said.

“If it had really been untied, then why would I have so many worries?” Ever since I decided to be with you.” Zhou Sheng splayed his arms out, and laid quietly in a 大 form.
