The group of 12 men, including David, sat around away from the other guys in one of the tunnels. David had asked the strongest men to meet for a particular purpose.
"Everyone, the reason that I asked you here was because I have something that I can't share with everyone," David said as he pulled out two handfuls of small stones from his bag.
"These stones are called communication stones. I had found an decent size one that allowed for fourteen pieces to be broken off. Each stone has the same heavenly energy signature and will allow us to communicate with each other within a certain range. You just need to inject you own heavenly energy with a thought," David informed the men as he passed the stones around.
"Since you all are the strongest, I am trusting you with these stones. They could be a great benefit during the revolt....and even a bigger benefit later. Always remember that it is better to destroy the stone than to let one fall into any enemy's hand," David warned.
"In regards to the attack on the town, I will be fighting the Demigods. While I have good assurance of escape, one of the Demigods is a Level 4 Demigod that is pretty strong. I may have some issues...so if I'm having issues...don't hesitate to destroy the mines....I can fend for myself," David said seriously.
"Judging by the amount of stuff that needs to happen....the longer we are in the town the greater the risks. I think we should limit the attack to an hour, then retreat," Omar said.
David thought it over. It would be good to set a time....everyone would have a better chance of getting out of this alive if this was a quick attack...like a bandit's raid.
"Okay...I agree....but please use the
communication stones that I have just given you...I would hate for someone to miss the deadline by only a few seconds and get left behind. Omar, as groups arrive send them along down the tunnel to the meeting spot I will show you all in a bit. The location is 10 miles away so it will take some time to walk it while carrying supplies. I wouldn't want the stragglers to hold things up. You can wait until the last second....then unleash hell on the tunnels. You don't want any pursuers to ever be able to clear the collapsed tunnels."
After the talk, everyone went about their business to prepare themselves. David made arrangements to show a few of them the tunnel location near the surface and the water source.
______________________
The men spent the remaining days training and preparing themselves with the remaining resources.
To everyone's surprise, another of the men broke through to Demigod. This one was one of the three Greenland brother called Alek. Similar to Omar, Alek had practiced in Earth skills originally....his time in the mines was actually great for Earth concept development. Alek become a Demigod of Earth with the Gravity Concept. It was one of the harder skills to master and had great battle potential. After discussing with everyone, Alek decided to remained on the team with his brothers. Having someone really strong help freeing the still captive slaves was great to speed up the process.
Everyone else seemed to do really well training....and now they were ready to start. The stronger men directed everyone that they would only have an hour to complete their tasks. They needed to be urgent in order to survive.
After wishing everyone luck, David headed out of the tunnel chamber towards the surface. It was time to put the plans in action.
______________________
David walked up the steps while following Head Guard Helio as usual.
"Night, I really do not like this body," Misery said in a manly voice out of the guard's mouth.
"You can get rid of it in a minute. I need you to catch this man off guard. Remember, walk in the room and turn and lock the door...then dump out the bag on the desk...you don't need to say anything," David said to remind the woman.
"Okay," she said to confirm that she would do as needed....for the third time.
David was anxious. This part of the plan needed to be carried out smoothly...without anyone being alerted to the situation.
David and the body of Head Guard Helio completed their walk and arrived at Mr. Harver's office. After stepping inside, Head Guard Helio closed the door and locked it as usual. Seeing the gesture, Mr. Harver performed his usual routine of closing the windows and removing the green orb from his desk. Once activating the orb, Mr. Harver said, "Damn Helio. I was just getting my stuff together to leave for the day. You better have brought something good."
Head Guard Helio just smiled and walked over to the desk and dump out the contents. Numerous heavenly stones spilled out on the desk. Mr. Harver was thrilled as his greed was satisfied...then he felt something move through his neck. His eyes widened as his head tumbled from his shoulders and onto the floor. The blood from the wound pooling at Head Guard Helio's feet.
The guard's body started to shift in waves as it absorbed the blood....to slowly reveal the beautiful Misery standing in its place.
"See that was easy enough....no need for all that anxiousness," Misery said as she stood holding Head Guard Helio's sword in her hands.
"Yes....finish absorbing the blood and situate yourself. Then you can come along with me. With this many guards to kill, there will be an abundance of soul energy to absorb," David said.
"Okay...give me 15 minutes," Misery said as she sat down in the ever growing pool of blood spilling from Mr. Harver's severed neck.
"Alright, I will be be back. Wait here for me," David said as he turned and left the room.
____________________________
David used his strength to pry off the door to the room that Mr. Harver used to house his goodies.
Stepping in, David was surprised by the amount of stuff that was in the stash. Compared to the stuff he had found himself, this stash was a treasure trove. Looking though the items however, David didn't notice anything extremely rare though. He did see a few large Stones of Strength and some nice soul stones. However, he didn't find any space stones like he wanted. After looking around, he did pickup a few handfuls of blood, soul stones and nourishment stones for his bag. He also grabbed a few of the smaller heavenly stones typically used for transactions.
The only different item that really caught his eye was a small black gem the size of a pinky nail. 'This must have some darkness element inside of it,' David thought as he put it in his bag for inspection later.
All in all....the stash wasn't that great for him....but it would be wonderful for the freed slaves.
He had only spent a few minutes in the area, so he went back to check on Misery.
After waiting another 15 minutes when he returned, Misery finally told David that she was ready to go forward with the plan. By David's estimate, it was around 7:00 PM at night now. Some people would be asleep, but most would not. David spread out his soul sense throughout the building. Most people were gone for the evening, so he decided to get started on his plans.
In a manner of minutes, he was back down the staircase to let everyone know the plan was ready for action.
"Omar, you ready to go?," David asked as he came back into the main chamber for the tunnels, "You can go raid the Harver's stash now. Bring your guys and bring all the stuff straight to the base."
"Great," Omar said. He seemed excited to be able to get out of the mines. From what David had been told, he hadn't seen outside for over three years.
While Omar and his group of six men were removing all of the goods.
David proceeded back to Mr. Harver's office. Looking toward Misery, he reached out an touched her. Her body started to be absorbed into the blood stone. This time the shade of the blood stone was slightly redder.
He sat down on the floor and entered his soul space. It was around 9:00 PM now, so he should be able to get to work.
With an intense focus, David could see the numerous dream orbs of those in the town. Some were guards, some were slaves, some were the managers of the town. David knew that tonight would involve a lot of death.
"Misery, let's get started," David said, "You take as many guards as you can. I'll get the rest."
Seeing Misery dart around popping orbs left and right, David decided that it was time for himself to get to work.
He streatched out his focus in the soul space. Instead of the usual way of looking at each orb individually, David was going to try to do a bulk processing of the dream orbs. With his mind he reached out to a group of ten dream orbs.
Upon contact, he immediately felt the intense situation of all the men's dreams. Fighting, sex, adventure, nightmares, wealth.....the usual items you would expect in the dreams of men that guard a small town. Reaching out with his awareness, David exerted his own soul pressure on these ten orbs. Under the pressure, the orbs started to crack and break. Almost at the same time, the ten orbs shattered causing an avalanche of soul energy to flow into David.
The extra energy felt wonderful And definitely increased his soul strength.....so David moved over to the next batch of guards. He proceeded to do this over and over again.
After destroying about 50 guards, Misery came over to David.
"Night, I can't do anymore. I feel so full again," Misery said.
"Good....go back to the real world and join the freed slaves in the big chamber. I want you to travel around with the big group...act as much like a demon as possible. I want anyone investigating this incident to think that it was some sort of demon attack...it will cause confusion," David said.
"Okay....be safe," Misery said as she left the soul space.
David decided to increase his speed and focused in on a group of about 30 guards. This group would put his total at almost 100 guards for the night....there would only be about 50 remaining in the oasis.
Similar to before, David touched the 30 dream orbs with his soul power. Connected to that many dream orbs, David felt an odd sensation. It was like he could influence all of these dreams at once.
Taking a moment, David tried to achieve what he felt he could do. He exerted his will on the 30 dream orbs. With a boom in his soul space, David felt all 30 dream orbs explode at once...and the soul power started heading straight for him.
The soul power swam towards his soul and started to wrap around it. For a second, David didn't know what happened, but then he started to guess...he had felt something similar twice before. He was breaking through to a Demigod of Dreams. However, his thought quickly went in the opposite direction. Instead of his concept of dream forming into a sphere to orbit his soul....the concept of dream started to encapsulate his soul. The feeling was absolutely wonderful and David could feel his soul get exponentially stronger.
'This must be the difference between an elemental concept and a soul concept,' David thought to himself as he remembered some of the past information.
He could feel the concept of dream forming around his soul, but it seemed to not have enough soul energy to fully condense.
David decided to reach out for some more. He grabbed another set of 10 guards dream orbs....but even after absorbing them....that didn't seem to be enough.
David felt that if he didn't get enough soul energy....then something bad would happen. He began running through possible solutions.
'Jackass.....you were going to try that anyway,' David thought as his soul sense moved to find the demigod orbs.
After looking around for a few seconds, he found the demigod orb he was looking for. This was the first orb that he had contact with in the soul space. The one that he had easily influenced. He assumed that this one would still be weak against his soul's attack.
David approached the dream orb and willed his strength to press around the orb. David could feel a burning sensation from the rotating fire concept orb, but it was a pain that he could ignore...it wasn't that bad.
David pushed his soul strength to the maximum. He could feel the resistance of the demigod's soul. In comparison, a foundation stage cultivator's soul orb was about the resistance of a fist sized balloon filled with water....it would pop once firmly squeezed... but a demigod's dream orb was more like trying to smash a grapefruit in the hand....it could be done....but the resistance was alot greater than a water balloon.
David drew upon all of his strength. With a few cracking sounds that reverberated through the silence of the soul space, the demigod's orb exploded. David felt a wash of soul energy swarm his soul and fully condense into his dream concept. David felt like his soul's strength had increased by 10 fold. It was an exceptional feeling....he even had energy to spare.
Looking over to where the Demigod's dream orb was once located, David noticed that the fire skill concept orb was still floating there. With nothing to orbit, it just remained stationary as it started to slightly fade.
On a whim, David reached out to touch the orb. Upon contact with his finger, the orb went arry and started vibrating intensely. David had a feeling of dread wash over him. Realizing that something bad was going to happen, David drew back his soul perception and exited his soul space.
He opened his eyes in Mr. Harver's office.....Then a large explosion occurred on the other side of the town.

I'll get the rest."Seeing Misery dart around popping orbs left and right, David decided that it was time for himself to get to work.He streatched out his focus in the soul space. Instead of the usual way of looking at each orb individually, David was going to try to do a bulk processing of the dream orbs. With his mind he reached out to a group of ten dream orbs. Upon contact, he immediately felt the intense situation of all the men's dreams. Fighting, sex, adventure, nightmares, wealth.....the usual items you would expect in the dreams of men that guard a small town. Reaching out with his awareness, David exerted his own soul pressure on these ten orbs. Under the pressure, the orbs started to crack and break. Almost at the same time, the ten orbs shattered causing an avalanche of soul energy to flow into David.The extra energy felt wonderful And definitely increased his soul strength.....so David moved over to the next batch of guards. He proceeded to do this over and over again.After destroying about 50 guards, Misery came over to David."Night, I can't do anymore. I feel so full again," Misery said."Good....go back to the real world and join the freed slaves in the big chamber. I want you to travel around with the big group...act as much like a demon as possible. I want anyone investigating this incident to think that it was some sort of demon attack...it will cause confusion," David said."Okay....be safe," Misery said as she left the soul space.David decided to increase his speed and focused in on a group of about 30 guards. This group would put his total at almost 100 guards for the night....there would only be about 50 remaining in the oasis.Similar to before, David touched the 30 dream orbs with his soul power. Connected to that many dream orbs, David felt an odd sensation. It was like he could influence all of these dreams at once.Taking a moment, David tried to achieve what he felt he could do. He exerted his will on the 30 dream orbs. With a boom in his soul space, David felt all 30 dream orbs explode at once...and the soul power started heading straight for him.The soul power swam towards his soul and started to wrap around it. For a second, David didn't know what happened, but then he started to guess...he had felt something similar twice before. He was breaking through to a Demigod of Dreams. However, his thought quickly went in the opposite direction. Instead of his concept of dream forming into a sphere to orbit his soul....the concept of dream started to encapsulate his soul. The feeling was absolutely wonderful and David could feel his soul get exponentially stronger.'This must be the difference between an elemental concept and a soul concept,' David thought to himself as he remembered some of the past information.He could feel the concept of dream forming around his soul, but it seemed to not have enough soul energy to fully condense.David decided to reach out for some more. He grabbed another set of 10 guards dream orbs....but even after absorbing them....that didn't seem to be enough.David felt that if he didn't get enough soul energy....then something bad would happen. He began running through possible solutions.'Jackass.....you were going to try that anyway,' David thought as his soul sense moved to find the demigod orbs.After looking around for a few seconds, he found the demigod orb he was looking for. This was the first orb that he had contact with in the soul space. The one that he had easily influenced. He assumed that this one would still be weak against his soul's attack.David approached the dream orb and willed his strength to press around the orb. David could feel a burning sensation from the rotating fire concept orb, but it was a pain that he could ignore...it wasn't that bad. David pushed his soul strength to the maximum. He could feel the resistance of the demigod's soul. In comparison, a foundation stage cultivator's soul orb was about the resistance of a fist sized balloon filled with water....it would pop once firmly squeezed... but a demigod's dream orb was more like trying to smash a grapefruit in the hand....it could be done....but the resistance was alot greater than a water balloon.David drew upon all of his strength. With a few cracking sounds that reverberated through the silence of the soul space, the demigod's orb exploded. David felt a wash of soul energy swarm his soul and fully condense into his dream concept. David felt like his soul's strength had increased by 10 fold. It was an exceptional feeling....he even had energy to spare.Looking over to where the Demigod's dream orb was once located, David noticed that the fire skill concept orb was still floating there. With nothing to orbit, it just remained stationary as it started to slightly fade. On a whim, David reached out to touch the orb. Upon contact with his finger, the orb went arry and started vibrating intensely. David had a feeling of dread wash over him. Realizing that something bad was going to happen, David drew back his soul perception and exited his soul space.He opened his eyes in Mr. Harver's office.....Then a large explosion occurred on the other side of the town.
