Chapter 172 The Traitor's Identity is Confirmed
However, they were unaware that Broly's trick, if used on some vulnerable creatures, could turn a short sleep into a permanent slumber.
Some monsters that were used as test subjects for force control experiments and had their necks severed by tremendous force can fully prove this point.
Of course, Broly only used this move on his wife and master when he was confident and Aqua was about to go on a drunken rampage.
It now seems that he had controlled the force just right, enough to put Aqua to sleep.
The succubus shopkeeper used her dream ability, and Broly also used it simultaneously. Wiz, with the boy's permission, helped project Aqua's dream, not only for Darkness to see, but also for himself.
It's unclear whether it was because Broly intervened in the dream, intending to observe the succubus shopkeeper, a master of dream manipulation, that the demonic magic carrying the aura of a demon successfully entered Aqua's consciousness world under his aura.
"Only a few succubi who crave the spiritual energy of fear can manipulate nightmares like this. Broly, this is a rare opportunity. Tonight, I'll show you the practical methods of creating nightmare-like dreams..."
The comatose Aqua became a teacher again, but this time she was the kind of teacher who was used as teaching material, like those old masters in medical schools who donated their bodies. The succubus shopkeeper manipulated her dreams at will to teach Broly, the other party's disciple.
"Nightmare is a dream about something that makes you afraid, but what you fear varies from person to person. We can usually use some common fears to test the dreamer. However, since your master is a high priest, we can skip the usual ghostly dreams that make people afraid..."
The succubus shopkeeper explained that in Aqua's dream, she used the power of dreams to conjure up some small black insects out of thin air.
Insects like these can truly frighten humans, especially women.
"Ah~"
This can be seen from the screams that Darkness made from the outside world; she was afraid of these insects.
"Hey, Darkness, are you afraid of this kind of insect?"
Wiz asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Before I actually killed one, I was indeed a little scared when I saw it."
Darkness was telling the truth.
*Smack!*
However, in the dream scene that appeared before her through magic, Aqua encountered these insects while eating in her kitchen. Instead of showing any fear, she fiercely grabbed them with her bare hands.
"Damn it, a mere cockroach dares to lay a hand on the food of the mighty Water Goddess! It's utterly courting death!"
Even if the succubus shopkeeper tried to manipulate more black insects to appear in Aqua's dream, it was no use; Aqua wasn't afraid at all.
Even in his dreams, he created a bug-killing outfit for himself and chased after a group of insects that looked like flying cockroaches to exterminate them.
Succubus shop owner: "..."
She had rarely seen a human woman who wasn't afraid of these insects at all. Even some female adventurers would experience negative emotions when they suddenly encountered these insects, but Aqua didn't at all.
"Your master is really amazing, he's not afraid of bugs at all."
The succubus shop owner said this to the boy next to her.
"Why be afraid of mere food?"
Broly's answer was even more outrageous than Aqua's.
Insects were also on the Saiyan diet, but Broly didn't eat them much anymore. However, that was only because there were better-tasting alternatives, not because they were inedible, let alone because he was afraid of them.
Succubus shop owner: "..."
She felt herself starting to have negative emotions.
"Is that so? I see. I understand now."
Yes, humans all have megalophobia.
"Then let me change your master's dream."
After the succubus shop owner finished speaking, she began to skillfully manipulate the dream.
The dream begins to change. To summarize the plot, a large number of small insects are disinfected by Aqua, which leads to the appearance of the big boss behind the insects, a gigantic monster insect.
The wriggling tentacles and slightly trembling limbs evoke a different feeling compared to the fear evoked by small insects.
However, Aqua in the dream was only a little flustered at first. After using the Kamikaze Fist and the Water-Generated Great Waterfall, she easily defeated the giant insect-like creatures that were chasing and stomping on her.
The succubus shopkeeper tried to resist, but perhaps due to the goddess's purifying power, her resistance was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and she was utterly defeated by Aqua in the dream.
"Your master is surprisingly formidable!"
After saying this, the succubus shopkeeper, somewhat skeptical, began manipulating the dream again, conjuring up many creatures within it that could frighten the dreamer, such as a lion scorpion, a human-faced death spider, and a wyvern.
And the result...
"Haha, I, Aqua, am truly the invincible goddess of the world~"
What was originally intended to be a nightmare that terrified Aqua turned into a powerful and exhilarating drama featuring a goddess from the lower realm showcasing her divine might and unleashing her full potential.
In the dream, Aqua stands atop a pile of monster corpses, hands on her hips, laughing heartily, her confidence and smugness clearly visible to the naked eye.
Succubus shop owner: "..."
This seems like a bit of reverse teaching, but there's really no other way. This person is really very strange, displaying a power that completely restrains her in the dream.
"I'm sorry, sir, I really can't help you."
Outside, the succubus shopkeeper apologized to Darkness. Although she didn't want to admit it, given her current mastery of dream manipulation, she was indeed powerless against Aqua in her sleeping state.
Even if the succubus queen from hell came, she would probably have to write a big "I admire you" on Aqua's leg.
"Shopkeeper, if you can't do it, let me give it a try."
Just as she was about to withdraw the power of the dream, Broly suddenly spoke up beside her.
"Uh, are you sure?"
The succubus shopkeeper asked if she knew that the woman who was dreaming was the child's master.
"Master Aqua wants to have a nightmare, and I think as her disciple, I have to fulfill that wish."
Broly said seriously.
"Broly, you're on my side, aren't you?"
Darkness was touched, and her happiness level began to rise rapidly.
However, Broly simply wanted to fulfill his master's wish to have nightmares.
At most, I just wanted to test my dream manipulation skills.
