Sevenfold Dream Sword

Olivia and Dream rapidly closed the distance between them.

The weapon Dream held in her hand was called the Sevenfold Dream Sword.

It was not a forbidden artifact, but a spiritual weapon crafted to the absolute peak of its potential.

The power of this spiritual weapon was staggering; a single strike could plunge a target into a sevenfold dream from which they could not escape, leaving them entirely at the mercy of the wielder.

Relying on this sword alone, Dream’s path as a transcendent had been smooth and successful, having slain countless opponents with its blade.

But at this moment, the Sevenfold Dream Sword was unable to exert its full power. Due to the suppression of Eternal Dream, the spiritual weapon could not release any illusions at all, serving as little more than a remarkably sharp blade.

Clang!

Olivia reached out and caught the blade of the Sevenfold Dream Sword with her bare hand, the impact ringing out with a crisp sound.

This sight caused Dream’s pupils to contract. She had never expected Olivia to counter her attack in such a manner.

Even if the Sevenfold Dream Sword could not use its illusion abilities for the time being, its sharpness was still not something a human body could easily withstand. Yet, Olivia had caught it with a single hand.

Dream's gaze fell upon Olivia’s hand, noticing subtle rock-like patterns. She realized there was likely something special about that hand, though she didn't know the specific nature of it.

After catching the Sevenfold Dream Sword, Olivia applied pressure, intending to snap the weapon. However, after exerting her strength, she found that the sword remained unmoved, and a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.

The quality of this weapon seemed quite high.

Olivia immediately tried to wrench the Sevenfold Dream Sword toward her, but Dream exerted her own strength at that moment, pulling the sword back sharply. The sudden force actually caused Olivia to stumble slightly.

The Evolver class rank provided a comprehensive enhancement to physical attributes, giving Dream exceptionally powerful strength.

However, the fact that Olivia only stumbled slightly before stabilizing herself was enough to show that her strength was infinitely close to that of an Evolver.

Seeing the Sevenfold Dream Sword pulled back, Olivia’s arm instantly extended, rapidly closing in on Dream. As she approached, her palm grew massive, opening wide to strike down with a heavy blow.

“What kind of technique is this?”

Dream was momentarily stunned by the sight. She had always assumed Olivia followed the Arbiter path of the church, but an Arbiter shouldn't possess such an ability.

Despite her surprise, Dream quickly raised the Sevenfold Dream Sword, pointing the sharp tip directly at Olivia’s descending palm.

However...

Clang!

Another crisp sound echoed.

No matter how sharp the Sevenfold Dream Sword was, the tip could not pierce Olivia’s palm. Instead, Dream, who was holding the sword, felt her hands sink under the weight of the blow, and her body staggered.

How can this hand be so hard?

This time, even Dream began to feel a sense of powerlessness.

Although she had many tricks up her sleeve, they all required the coordination of dreams. With dreams currently unusable, the methods available to her were far too thin. For a moment, she truly didn't know how to take Olivia down.

Amidst Dream’s hesitation, Olivia struck repeatedly.

She remained standing at a distance, but her arm extended long, with her hand continuously slapping down.

Her strikes were highly disciplined; after all, she possessed the Combat Expert passive ability, giving her an extremely outstanding performance in close-quarters combat.

Even using only a single palm, Olivia could wield it with exquisite precision. Consequently, after only a short period of attacking, she had Dream completely suppressed.

She was essentially pinning Dream down and beating her.

Olivia was a Combat Expert, but Dream knew nothing of combat techniques.

Dream was an expert in the realm of dreams, but she happened to be unable to use her best abilities. This left her in a purely passive position in her battle against Olivia.

After struggling to hold on for a while, a hint of regret began to surface in Dream’s heart.

She shouldn't have come here to target Olivia.

She truly hadn't expected that a Skywalker could be this difficult to deal with. She was an Evolver, a high-level class rank transcendent—how could she be so overwhelmed?

Dream’s eyes darted around as she began to contemplate how to leave this place.

She couldn't keep fighting.

As an Evolver, she was capable of making accurate judgments about the state of a battle. She knew that if this continued, the most likely outcome was her own defeat.

Although such a judgment was nearly unbelievable—that an Evolver would lose to a Skywalker—she understood that it was a very real possibility, and a highly probable one at that.

If she didn't leave now, she might lose her life here.

Immediately, Dream exerted all her strength to clash with Olivia several times, forcibly pushing back Olivia’s massive palm before flying away at full speed toward the distance.

The sky above the ruins was a hazy gray.

Dream ascended rapidly, putting as much distance between them as possible.

Olivia followed closely behind, the Angel Wings vibrating on her back, granting her equally immense speed.

She carried Eternal Dream with her, the dream it released moving with her as its center. It remained cast over Dream, ensuring she could not use her dream-related abilities.

During the chase, the speeds of the two began to stabilize. Olivia couldn't catch Dream for the moment, but Dream couldn't shake Olivia either.

Seeing this, Olivia took out King's Domain.

She directly activated King's Domain, enveloping a vast area within it.

As she did so, Olivia noticed with surprise that the range King's Domain could cover had significantly decreased.

It seemed that the unique nature of the God's Ruins prevented King's Domain from covering an entire district as it could in the main world.

But it didn't matter. Even if the coverage was reduced, it was enough to catch Dream within its range.

Then, with a single thought, Olivia utilized the teleportation portal function of King's Domain. She appeared directly beside Dream, her massive palm striking out at her on the spot.

This caused Dream’s expression to change drastically.

She raised the Sevenfold Dream Sword, blocking Olivia’s attack with a bang, but her heart continued to sink.

She realized that she seemed unable to escape Olivia’s pursuit.

If there was no way to escape, then continuing like this would only lead to her death. she had to find a way to resolve this.
