Mystery Detective of the Steam World

Chapter 219 There is everything in the dream

"Hey?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, the other three girls were stunned. Katie was the most enthusiastic. She had been very bored before, and when she heard about the fight, she immediately jumped up and rushed over with Li Wei.

Olivia looked around, momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to do. As for Anne—she didn't listen to Levi at all, since all her skill points were focused on academics.

Sending her up to fight would basically be suicide.

The messenger of disaster had now completely transformed. It was as tall as a skyscraper, resembling a giant serpent with six arms. Each arm held a curved blade, and the mark of the god of disaster was clearly visible on its chest.

"It's all over. You can't escape! Everyone will be destroyed in this dream!"

The messenger of disaster roared, and then hundreds of snake-men, each as tall as a person and resembling it, emerged from the darkness around them and charged towards the group with a roar.

Holy crap, what kind of monster movie set is this?!

Seeing this, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine; the scene was like something out of a classic Hollywood monster movie. However, these snake-men didn't have as many arms as the Disaster Messenger; the Disaster Messenger had three pairs, while these had only two—one pair missing.

That's what they say, but the problem is... how are we supposed to fight this?
"go to hell!"

Fortunately, they also had a mage on their side.

King Solomon roared, clenched his right fist, and swung it forward. With that, a huge fireball fell from the sky like a meteor and crashed heavily to the ground. The snake-men soldiers were then engulfed by the flames that spread from the fireball's explosion.

Goodness, this is definitely a mage! It's starting to feel like a game!

Seeing this scene before him, Li Wei couldn't help but mentally complain. In fact, Li Wei was also extremely panicked at this moment, after all, this thing called the Disaster Messenger looked like it was going to be very difficult to deal with. Moreover, they were still in a dream, Olivia didn't have her puppy, Annie was practically no fighting force, and he couldn't bring his own puppet in.

The only way to hold the boss is for Katie to tank the mobs... But looking at the size of this boss, how can she possibly hold it?
This isn't like fighting a dungeon boss in a game!
Soon, more snake-men soldiers emerged from the darkness and charged towards Li Wei and his group from all directions.

Continuing like this will only lead to certain death; even if Solomon is a sorcerer, he can't withstand it!
There's no other way, I have to try that trick!

Thinking of this, Li Wei closed his eyes, then opened them again.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The ground began to tremble, and thunderous footsteps echoed all around. Hearing these footsteps, even Olivia and Anne were startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction from which the sound came from.

Then, they witnessed something unimaginable.

On the ground, hundreds and thousands of monsters roared and charged from behind, transforming into an almost unstoppable torrent as they rushed forward. Among them were monsters almost the size of motorcycles, as well as enormous ones resembling armored vehicles.

Faced with this unstoppable horde of beasts, even the snake-man soldiers were powerless to resist. They opened their mouths, flicked their tongues, and raised their blades to block. However, the next moment, the monsters easily rammed into them, the sharp blades snapping in two before they could even leave a mark on the monsters' thick hides. The snake-men's supple bodies were mercilessly trampled under the feet of these enormous monsters, turning into a bloody pulp.

"What... what are these monsters?"

Olivia stared in disbelief at the scene before her, while Anne appeared more composed.

"This should be called a dinosaur, created by Mr. Levi."

"Dinosaurs? What are those? And why were they created by Mr. Levy?"

"We are in a dream now."

Anne had adventured in dreams with Levi before, so she had some understanding of what dreams were like.

"Although I don't know the specifics, Mr. Levi possesses the ability to create things in dreams. He can recreate everything he has ever seen or witnessed in his dreams. I once went on an adventure with Mr. Levi in ​​a similar dream, and at that time he created this monster called a dinosaur... He said it should be some kind of very ancient creature..."

"Mr. Li Wei has seen this before. Where did he see it?"

After hearing Annie's explanation, Olivia and Katie were even more confused than before. They were genuinely terrified when the beast horde rushed over; even Katie stood frozen in place, letting the monsters sweep past her.

Fortunately, these monsters seemed to be watching where they were going, otherwise they were afraid that if they moved even slightly, they might end up like those snake-men, smashed into a pulp.

"I don't know that either."

Annie shook her head. Actually, she'd been wanting to ask Levi this question too. Like, where had he seen these dinosaurs, and how did he know they were ancient creatures…?

In fact, Anne wasn't the only one with this question.

"What are these?"

King Solomon was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the dinosaur army, but he quickly realized that these monsters were heading for the snake-men soldiers, so he immediately shifted his attention to the messenger of disaster located in the rear.

After all, that was the real culprit that led to all these tragedies for him!

"call-------!"

Soon, a whirlwind enveloped King Solomon, who then roared and charged directly at the messenger of disaster!

"Good heavens, it can fly too? Then I'm really out of luck." Seeing this, Li Wei, who was standing not far away, gave up the chase.

Besides, that thing is almost as tall as a skyscraper, so there's no point in me going there, is there?

If possible, Li Wei also hoped to demonstrate the power of the steel torrent, using his Dream Maker abilities to create some giant ships, cannons, and fighter jets.

Unfortunately, the intensity of things in dreams is determined by the dreamer's own perception. Li Wei wasn't a soldier, had never ridden in a tank or fighter jet, nor had he ever been on a battlefield. Therefore, he had a rather limited understanding of the true power of those weapons.

While monster movies often feature various warships, missiles, airplanes, and tanks, as everyone knows, the human weapons in monster movies are basically made of paper and have no effect on the monsters. Conversely, monsters can hit human weapons with deadly accuracy, and some even unleash area-of-effect attacks, wiping out entire groups at once.

So Li Wei might as well release a few dinosaurs; quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.

As for the rest, he could only watch the show from the sidelines.

After all, Li Wei also wanted to see just how powerful those mages from the "ancient times" of this world really were.

King Solomon was indeed formidable.

Li Wei was too far away to see clearly, but Solomon reminded him of those fighter jets attacking monsters in monster movies. He kept flying around in the air, launching huge fireballs and lightning attacks that struck the messenger of disaster.

His attacks did have some effect on the Disaster Messenger, but the problem was that the Disaster Messenger was too large. Although King Solomon was able to inflict some damage on it, the Disaster Messenger would also swing its blades and create sword energy mixed with cold wind to launch a counterattack against King Solomon.

This forced King Solomon to flee in disarray on many occasions.

Of course, what troubled Li Wei the most was that the things created in the dream were, at least, things that the creator himself firmly believed in.

Could it be that in reality, this so-called disaster messenger could also turn into such a behemoth?

If he encounters a disaster messenger in the real world in the future, he can only run as far away as possible.

However, let's deal with the immediate problem first. After all, this is King Solomon's dream. If King Solomon dies, Li Wei is unsure whether he and his companions will fall into the sea of ​​dreams, perish along with King Solomon, or wake up in reality.

But no matter what, he was unwilling to take that risk.

Fortunately, we are currently in a dream.

In his dream, Li Wei still had enough "memory" to deal with this terrifying thing.

"boom!"

Another fireball struck the messenger of disaster. King Solomon stepped back, now drenched in sweat. The messenger of disaster, though bearing a few charred marks on its skin, remained largely unharmed.

“It’s no use, King Solomon. Your soul has been lingering on for so long, you should be able to sense that you can no longer hold on.”

The messenger of disaster, with his serpentine, cold eyes, stared at King Solomon, opened his mouth, and spoke mockingly.

"I will never give up until I have completely destroyed you!"

"You have no way to destroy me, can't you see that?"

The messenger of disaster raised his arm and proudly held his head high.

"This is the power of the great god! The power bestowed upon me by the god of calamity! And you are but a lowly, insignificant mortal who has lost everything! You cannot contend with such a world-destroying power! Before the god of calamity, all humanity can do is struggle to escape and become stronger! And we will fulfill the will of the god of calamity and fight for humanity to the very last moment!"

“A stupid madman…”

King Solomon gritted his teeth as he listened to the messenger of disaster.

"If I were still alive, I would wipe you out completely from my territory and my country!"

"But you cannot do it. Soon, you too will fall to the god of disaster, along with the souls you have imprisoned..."

Before the messenger of disaster could finish speaking, a dark shadow flashed past and struck him hard. Caught off guard, the messenger was thrown to the side and fell backward to the ground.

what happened?

King Solomon paused for a moment, then turned to look, and there he saw a terrifying monster striding out of the shadows.

Its appearance was similar to the monsters that King Solomon had seen before, except that it stood upright, walked on two legs, had a long tail hanging down behind it, two short front paws placed in front of it, and its head looked like some kind of lizard.

But what King Solomon could not have imagined was the size of this monster, which was almost the same size as the messenger of disaster!
At that moment, it walked past King Solomon, staring intently at the messenger of disaster, and then opened its mouth.

"roar---------!!!"

A thunderous roar echoed across the sky, and Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief before plopping down on the ground.

"Alright, let's watch the 4D surround sound movie now."
