While Alex was in another realm, the realm of the soul to awaken and inherit the Slaughter King's Unique ability, in the outside world something was happening.

Artemia woke up and saw Alex in a deep sleep, she went to the bathroom and came back shortly later.

''He looks so cute when sleeping. Yawn! I'm sleepy again.''

She unconsciously yawned, her eyelids drooped, and her body slowly slumped onto the bed as he gradually fell asleep.

— — —

Ashy sky, brown ground, and a hint of grey mist spreading everywhere.

Depression, despair, desolation.

This was the first thing Artemia saw upon waking up.

"It's the same nightmare again…"

She felt completely helpless.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up…"

She tugged violently at her arms and face skin, trying to wake herself up from the nightmare, but to no avail.

Unless a certain time was reached, she would remain in the nightmare.

Ugh~ Ugh~ Ugh~

A strange sound came to her ears as if someone was choking, accompanied by a rustling and dragging sound.

"Here it comes…"

A wail went through her head.

Very quickly, the grey mist not far on her right dispersed, and a tall, stiff humanoid figure appeared right in front of her.

The humanoid figure's complexion was pale, the eye sockets were sunken, and there were no eyeballs, only a pair of empty holes.

There was a long slit on the face, which allowed him to clearly see the greyish-white facial bones as well as the dark flesh and blood.

The humanoid figure was stiff and sluggish, wearing a uniform similar to the defense team's uniform, but it was very filthy, covered in dirt.

Nearly identical to the zombies in movies that often appear in movies on Earth, if Alex was here or other Earthlings, they would have identified this thing as a zombie, however, to Artemia, to the princess this zombie was more than a zombie, it was a comrade she went through a lot with. So naturally, she felt pained to face her former comrade who had turned into this, recently she kept having this nightmare, the same nightmare where she would her former comrade turned into Zombie.

As this became repetitive, she was getting annoyed because of this, being forced to repeatedly kill her former comrades with whom she shared a lot of years with wasn't without consequences. In recent days her mood had become quite forlorn and she appeared to be a bit distant.

Although Alex thought that she was distant these days because he had been neglecting her, this assumption was wrong as she was distant because of nightmares she kept having.

She continued walking forward, the more she went forward the more zombies she killed, she felt pained but because of what happened before she slept she wasn't that depressed anymore, she killed them. She knew this place, the destination was ahead, a city which upon a time was the most beautiful city in the world.

During that apocalyptic war, it was destroyed. The black fog became thicker the deeper she went.

Finally, she arrived at her destination. She looked in the direction in front of her.

The grey fog dispersed like flowing water, and the outline of a ruined yet magnificent structure slowly appeared in her field of vision.

"Finally… I'm here…"

The legendary city of the proud dwarven race: Babylon.

Right at the moment despair and oppression weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder.

Artemia moved quickly, but her steps were light. She wanted to quit but unfortunately, until she reached the end she would not wake up.

The closer she got to the massive city, the more zombies there were wandering in the grey fog, and as the number increased, the strength of the zombies also continued to increase.

Although she appeared closer to the majestic city in fact it took her twenty minutes to reach the city.

One could imagine just how big the scale of the city was.

Artemia finally arrived at the foot of the massive city. This magnificent city was displayed right in front of her.

It was hard to describe just how big this city was.

The entire city was surrounded by towering city walls reaching the towering height of fifty, right now these walls were broken.

It's difficult to imagine any force in the world breaking through such an impenetrable line of defense.

But she knew what was responsible for this and when she saw these broken walls, memories from the past come crashing down like a flood.

''In the first year of the apocalyptic war, the ground fractured and a large number of monsters emerged from it in the northern part of the continent, the alliance was quickly overwhelmed, they were forced to relocate but on their way to retreat the southern part of the majestic city of Babylon was breached and started the massacre, thousands died in a day, ten thousand in the second day by the seven days million was dying....''

Buzz!

As she recalled those memories, Artemia's brain seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, and the buzzing was incessant. She had a terrible headache.

As if this served as a waking up she was forced out of those painful memories. She performed a set of breathing exercises to help her calm down.

While those nightmares did resemble each other, there were some differences like tonight, she had never reached this city.

Maybe if she entered this city and reached the end, she would stop having those nightmares, Artemia had this feeling and the only thing left was to check whether this feeling was spot on or it would be proven wrong.

Artemia walked into the city with light steps and as soon she entered, everything around her darkened almost as if she got swallowed in the mouth of a giant beast.

On the outside she appeared to be calm like the surface of a lake but not on the inside, she was quite anxious wondering where she would appear and finally appeared before him.

''Finally, you arrived I was tired of waiting.'' The dragon said while looking down at her. Artemia shuddered and unconsciously took a step back.

'Why out of everything she had to meet him?'

The situation seemed hopeless.
