"He got super buff out of nowhere?!" Rita cried. "Holy shit!"
"Rita, focus, he's coming!" Elayne said, as she summoned a barrier seconds before Laplace's huge fists were to land on her!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Laplace's fists distorted Elayne's Spiritual Barrier and her Wooden Shields were broken apart into pieces in an instant! Laplace who seemed to small ended being quite mighty on the physical department!
"RAAAAAH!!!" The jester raised both of his hands into the sky and clenched them together, aiming to crush Elayne with a hammer. "DIE, YOU GAME CHEATERRR!"
However, Laplace quickly realized his two powerful fists didn't reach Elayne, but hit Mark instead, who had moved so fast in front of her that it seemed as if he had teleported there.
"Oi, you're going straight for her?" Mark said, clearly pissed off. "As long as I am here, you won't be touching Elayne! RAAAAHHH!!!"
With a ferocious roar, Mark transformed his Magic Knife into a huge blazing sword, unleashing a barrage of Quadruple Slashes with each swing of his sword, overwhelming Laplace and setting him ablaze on dragon flames!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
"Arrgh…! It burns so much!" Laplace screamed, seeing his entire body set ablaze, he timidly stepped back, trying to turn off the fire.
"You're not running away!" Lily roared, as she hit the ground with her pickaxe and several rock pillars emerged one after another, hitting Laplace from left, right, behind, front, and below!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASSSH!
Laplace was already covered on blood as he was thrown into the skies, only for Elayne to smile, leaping high up and charging her huge shovel with mighty Spiritual Energy.
"{Great Spiritual Explosion}!"
The Spiritual Energy and Mana channeled into her Shovel Weapon overflowed, making the shovel glow with the brightness of divinity itself! The impact generated a huge explosion that threw the Jester into the ground once more!
His body hit the floor, generating a huge crater below. The toy monsters glancing the scene were left speechless, their cheers stopping as they glanced the scene in utter hopelessness…
"U-Uurgh… H-How come you're so strong?!" Laplace vomited blood. "Grargh…! I-I am the God of Dreams! I should be the strongest… in this dream world!"
"You've thought wrong then!" Rita roared, her gun shooting several Light-imbued bullets at him. "{Holy Bullet Barrage}!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Laplace quickly stood back up and floated in midair, generating walls made of black, nightmarish energy that swallowed the bullets and then fired them back at Rita!
"Wrong? ME?! Preposterous! I am the Ruler of Nightmares!" Laplace screamed. "{Nightmare Repulsion}!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"S-Shit! He can shoot me back?!" Rita panicked, jumping around while evading the gun shoots sent back at her with twice the speed and strength. Thanks to Lily's boulder shields, she was able to block several bullets at once.
"{Dream Mirage}! {Nightmare Clones}!" The bleeding Laplace screamed, as he suddenly divided his body into several clones!
Mark and Elayne's attacks ended hitting false mirages which exploded into dream and nightmare elemental magic explosions, causing some damage into their armor.
"Dammit, all fake!" Said Elayne. "My Spiritual Gaze can't properly detect which one is real… Is this because Laplace is also made of dream?"
"Must be!" Mark said, as he defended Elayne from Laplace's clones, swinging his blazing sword against them and making them explode one after another.
"Kekekekek! You thought fighting me would be so easy?! I am the God of Dream-"
"{Super Bullet Time}!"
Rita's eyes glowed bright red, as her gun overflowed with Mana she imbued into it to activate the Skill of the same name. Time around her became much slower as she quickly started shooting all Laplace clones she found!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG…!
Laplace ended taking several shoots on his body as he started bleeding even more, realizing that in just a couple of seconds all his clones disappeared by Rita's super-fast bullet barrage!
"I-Impossible!" Laplace screamed, vomiting blood.
"It's more than possible, jerk!" Lily roared angrily. "{Cave Drake King's Earthquake}!"
Lily hit the ground with her huge pickaxe, as she unleashed the might of the Cave Drake King imbued into her weapon after its upgrade using the dragon's Scale Pieces and Bone Pieces!
The entire ground started trembling as Laplace was hit by an enormous quantity of Earth Attribute Energy erupting from the ground beneath!
The jester screamed in agony once more, his body continuing to gain more and more wounds. His mask started shattering, continuously gaining more cracks!
"N-No…! My mask is breaking?!" Laplace screamed looking at the scene in utter disbelief as he saw his own mask beginning to crumble. "No, no, no! YOU BASTARDS!!!"
Filled with utter and maddening rage, his entire body erupted with Nightmare Magic power, beginning to cover his surroundings with a powerful, shadow domain.
"{Nightmare Domain}! Be absorbed by your own nightmares!!!"
Gigantic red eyes and countless tentacles emerged from within the Nightmare Domain, trying to wrap themselves around everyone! The jumped and flew into the skies, but the tentacles still managed to touch them.
"{Heavenly Light Flash}!"
However, before everyone were to be engulfed by the nightmares, a huge flash of purifying light emerged from Elayne's entire body, which quickly dissipated the dark nightmares, and made everyone wake up!
"W-WHAT?!" Laplace vomited blood in shock once more, his mask barely keeping itself stuck into his face. "Y-Youuuu! {Nightmare Beasts}! {Dream Explosive Bombs}!"
The Jester screamed in anger, summoning a dozen of beasts made out of nightmares, and materializing, pink-colored bombs out of his hands, launching them at Elayne and her group!
The Nightmare Beasts were as strong as C Rank Monsters! Nonetheless, Mark and Elayne quickly charged into the frontlines and began slaying the beasts with Mark's Quadruple Slash and Red Dragon Queen's Fire while Elayne unleashed her Great Spiritual Explosion while spreading her Nature Domain to gain more advantage on this dreamy landscape.
However, the bombs were launched strategically as they were slaying the Nightmare Beasts. Laplace laughed as the bombs reached them and exploded!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Gryahahaha! Have your dreams consumed by my bombs!"
