Chapter 11 Dream
The inventory window was opened to deposit the sword that Alex had used all this time, with a crackling sound of lightning the prototype Excalibur was removed, the sword that was previously white had now changed to a dark purple matching and adapting to the aura of its new wielder.
(You equipped Excalibur, your attributes have been increased)

(gravitational manipulation=22+5)
(lightning step=1+5+5)

(MP=200/200)
Alex felt his body being enveloped in a layer of purple lightning and his aura rose, his eyes shining, he saw that everything around him seemed to be slowing down a little, his thoughts flowing at an abnormal speed.
The black hair now shone pure purple fluttering against the direction of the wind, its layer of gravitational defense was so dense that the lightning around it suffered slight distortions.
Seeing the growing power of the man in front of him, the minotaur priest trembled in fear, stepping back slightly, the axes in his hands combining to form a staff.
At the priest's command, a huge magic circle took over the place, evoking a hundred minotaur warriors. It was visibly noticeable that the ones now were several times stronger than the ones destroyed by Alex.
Each stone warrior was painted a vivid crimson symbolizing their furious state, fearless as they advanced in a pack with their nostrils smoking as they roared violently.
Only then did the priest show his bizarre smile again, aware that his opponent would fall today.
From Alex's perspective, these warriors were slow and quite noisy, jumping several times to exercise, stretching their limbs before finally making a move.
The feeling of being so fast created a kind of stasis in the brain, it was quite addictive.
The gravitational power and electricity merged into one, generating a lightning charge several times its weight as the body became increasingly lighter, thus making the movements like a purple blur.
From the perspective of the minotaur priest he saw his beloved warriors being destroyed causing deep craters wherever the purple figure passed,
The minotaur fell in numbers so fast that the priest could not see what to say of being able to count his losses
The time it took for the priest to mask his red eyes was the same time it took Alex to annihilate several warriors, his swordsmanship was so polished with the increase in his attributes that he felt as if he had been born knowing how to wield a sword since birth.
(MP=50/200)
Alex couldn't believe his form was consuming so much MP, feeling his speed gradually decrease, he had to hasten his movement and when his HP dropped to 10, all the stone minotaur warriors were on the ground completely defeated.
Before the minotaur priest could even think to flee, a hand crackling with lightning grabbed him by the neck.
— Wait, I can —
the minotaur priest tried to appeal to Alex when his cow head was destroyed with the pieces staining the ground with dust
(congratulations you completed the dungeon)
(reward level +4)
(reward you acquired 2 stars)
(You acquired 10 miter-o ingots)
(You have acquired the Ancient Priest Class Change Staff)
(Your MP is zero, you have fallen into a weakened state for two hours)
(System warning, lucid beings cannot integrate stars generated by the god's dream)
The growing excitement that bubbled in Alex's heart at having achieved two stars gradually faded away, turning into disappointment.
He fought so hard and in the end he couldn't use the stars he had dreamed of. When he reached out his hands to capture the stars that floated before him, something abnormal happened as if they were disgusted or repulsed. They flew into the bodies of the two fainted girls.
Seeing this, Alex felt a huge bitterness in his heart, looking at the pair of friends, he really didn't know what to do, they definitely contributed to his death even if they did it for self-preservation it didn't change the fact.
Seeing the two unconscious, something strange blossomed in his heart. The feeling of controlling the fate of two people gave him an unknown feeling. From what he remembered, he wasn't a pervert, was he?
Leaving aside his random thoughts, Alex called up his system interface window, first accessing his inventory to store his Excalibur sword, with that done his attributes returned to normal, then he decided to allocate his points.
(NAME ALEX, LUCID, AWAKENED BEING)
(AUTHORITY GRAVITY)
(Active SKILLS = Gravitational Manipulation, Intermediate Swordsmanship)
(LEVEL=23)
(Star level = 1)
(gravitational defense=22)
(gravitational manipulation=22)
(lightning step=1)
(intermediate fencing=24)
(STRENGTH=40+5)
(AGELITY=60+5)
(HP=200/200)
(MP=200/200)
Since his agility was already quite high, Alex decided to invest his points in strength so that his blows would be powerful enough to finish his battles in a short period of time.
Now that your level has risen above twenty, your HP and MP do not automatically rise as they did at previous levels, meaning that points to be gained in the future have to be carefully considered before being allocated.
Two hours later the two girls finally woke up and when their eyes opened the first face they both saw was Alex's who was staring at them with an expressionless look.
Monica grabbed her sword embedded with crackling, living flames, and without hesitation launched an attack while urging her friend to run.
— Mimi, run, I'll gain some time.
Mimi didn't run as her friend suggested, she quickly realized the situation, if the man in front of them wanted them both dead, they most likely already would be, she also realized that they were no longer in the double dungeon.
Even though it was hard to believe and since there was no one in front of them, the only conclusion that could be reached was that the man in front of them not only completed the dungeon but also saved them.
However, what left Mimi most open-mouthed was the aura of flames that covered her friend's body, something that only a person with the authority of a star's flames could materialize.
Confused, she didn't realize that her body also carried a similar aura, but it was a white light that surrounded her.
