Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

Chapter 57: Evolution



Later that night

Lorien was sitting face to face with Nezuko in the backyard

He had just finished absorbing the Dream Energy collected by the Tree of Dreams tonight

This gave him a slight all-around improvement and allowed his perception range to increase from 95m to 96m

As Lorien's strength became stronger, the energy required to improve also increased

If the same amount of energy he absorbed today was used previously when his perception range was at around 70m

The increase would have been at least 6 or 7 meters, not 1 meter

Lorien couldn't wait for the day when all the planted Dream Trees in Japan get linked so he could absorb as much energy as he wants

When that happens, it'll be the moment when Lorien finally enters true high-speed improvement

And that day won't be far as he could feel that his 'luck' is improving

This is demonstrated in even the smallest stuff such as flipping coins, randomly finding money when walking around outside...etc

This means that the 'World' is finally starting to feedback after all the Dream Energy Lorien gave it

After all, 40% of all the Dream Energy the Tree gets is sent directly to the 'World'

And now, Lorien is finally getting 'identified' by it as the 'protagonist'

But this is not today's topic

What Lorien is going to do now is resume Nezuko's 'Healing'

Yesterday he helped her gain the ability to survive under the sun

Today he is going to strengthen her

And by that, it means, Helping her achieve her full potential as a Demon, be it on the Ability or the Immortality Side

With that in mind, Lorien held her wrist and started using his Ability

[Dream/Reality]

As his power started operating, a mysterious force abruptly emerged inside of Nezuko's body and started transforming her

As it did, Nezuko unexpectedly felt a burst of pleasure all over her body

This is simply an instinctive reaction and has nothing to do with Lorien

Her body instinctively knows that what's transpiring is good for it, so it keeps sending 'signals' asking for more

And as the transformation continued external changes also started happening

First, it's her body, She started growing quickly until she reached an adult state

This state is identical to the one Nezuko used when she fought Daki in the original timeline

The reason this happened is that this state is her optimal one

But things didnt end there, as after her growth finally stopped, and things stabilized for a moment

Two Horns suddenly burst out of her forehead, one on each side

Her cat-like eyes turned more aggressive

Her Canine teeth also grew bigger and sharper

All of this combined gave her a very 'wild' look

But these were just the outer changes

And as these outside changes were happening a more crucial transformation was also occurring inside of her body

This transformation targeted her Blood Demon Art, changing it slowly in subtle ways

Those changes guided her power in a mysterious direction

It is unknown what form her power will take or if any true changes will even happen

This Transformation be it inner or outer, lasted for around 25 minutes

And as it finally ended and no further changes occurred, Lorien let of Nezuko's wrist and looked at her

As he did, He was immediately shocked

'What happened?'

When helping her, he was focused on using his power and he didnt look at her

He expected changes but he didn't expect her to abruptly grow up

Then just as Lorien was looking at her

Nezuko frowned, as the pleasurable state she was in ended abruptly with the completion of the transformation

Feeling this she reluctantly opened her eye and looked at Lorien

Seeing her look at him, Lorien reacted and said

"Try to feel your changes!"

And as he said this, He made a mirror in front of her for her to better see the changes

Looking at herself in the mirror she was stunned

'Is this me?'

No wonder she felt her clothes were constricting her as if they were many sizes smaller

It appears that she suddenly grew up

But looking at the horns on her forehead she frowned, she didn't like their presence

As she thought of this, those 'horns' immediately retracted with a *swish*

She was taken aback by this, but then, she quickly reacted as she curiously tried taking it out and then retracting it over and over again

Seeing her engrossed in playing, Lorien couldn't help but remind her

"Try your Blood Demon Art"

Hearing this, Nezuko stopped playing and immediately started testing her ability

Pinkish flames abruptly appeared on top of her hand causing the surroundings to heat up

Then with a wave of her hand, The flame flew to a nearby chair accurately hitting it

*Swish*

This caused it to catch on fire and then turn into ashes in no time

But she didn't stop there, as with another move of her hand, the flames hit the ground

But this time no damage occurred to the earth or even the grass on it

It acted like it usually did before the transformation

Seeing this both of them figured out the changes

It seems that after the transformation her flame damage is no longer limited to demons

It could also now damage humans and other things like a normal flame

This of course doesn't mean that the special damage on demons is lost

It just means that she now has more options

Not to mention that she could control it so the flame only damages demons as she just did in the last test with the ground

With the test ending, Lorien started evaluation her power

After the 'Evolution', Nezuko's 'Aura' rose from the level of a 'Low Rank' Upper Moon Demon to that of a 'High Rank' Upper Moon Demon

If he were to seriously evaluate it

In terms of pure strength, she is now nearly equal to Upper Moon 1 or 2

But that's just in terms of pure physical stats as Nezuko couldn't fully utilize her powers and had 0 combat experience

Thinking of this Lorien decided to fix this as the 'Last battle' is nearing, and she'll be a good help when he isn't present

Deciding on this he looked at her, pointed towards the Tree of Dreams, and said

"Come sit here, We are going to train"

Hearing this she looked puzzled as she didn't fully understand what he meant, but she still listened to him and sat down

Seeing this, Lorien put his hand on her shoulder and used his power causing her to instantly fall a sleep

Following this he a barrier around her as a protection, and then disappeared from his position

The way he decided he would fix this issue is the usual way, By practicing in a Dream

What he plans to do is first of all teach her the Sun Breathing Technique

Their family had it for generations and what he's doing could be considered as giving it back to its rightful owner

Then, Following that, he plans to help her improve some of her combat experience even just a little

-

[Dream]

Suddenly appearing in the middle of a White space, Nezuko looked around in confusion

If it weren't for Lorien standing in front of her, she would have been freaked out

But even then, She was still baffled

Seeing this, Lorien didn't let her guess for long as he started explaining

"We're going to...Then....."

"So! Do you agree?"

Digesting what he had just said, Nezuko paused for a moment then resolutely nodded

Lorien didn't know what she was currently thinking

But seeing her agree, he didn't ask further as her response was exactly what he wanted

So, he responded with a smile

"Let's start then!"
