Lilith knew a single day would be enough suck dry a Special Care Hollow Facility, so she began.
First day..
[You have Received 1982 Blood Fragments.]
[Your Blood Core Grows Stronger.]
Second Day..
[You have received 2164 Blood Fragments.]
[Your Blood Core Grows Stronger.]
[Your Soul Sea is Boiling with Power.]
[A new Blood Core is Taking Shape from the Blood Sea.]
[A new Blood Core has been Formed.]
And lastly, she went to the Biggest Hollow Facility of NQSC. the one who hospited Most those who became hollow in the First and Second Generation.
[...]
[You sucked an Ascended Beast, Smile of Heaven's Blood.]
[Your Blood Core Grows Stronger.]
[...]
…
[You have received 5365 Blood Fragments.]
[Your Soul Sea is Boiling with Power.]
[A new Blood Core is Taking Shape from the Blood Sea.]
[A new Blood Core has been Formed.]
…
Unlike before, the Hollow Facilities had actual Awakened guards, but she still managed to stay hidden from sight and accomplish what she came for..
Lilith looked at her runes.
Blood Cores: [6/7]
Blood Fragments: [1185/6000]
…
Lilith taught to herself, '..This is as far as Shortcuts are gonna take me.. i still need 11.815 Blood Fragments to saturate my Blood Cores.. now starts the painful part.. and also the one who will boost my actual growth exponentially..'
…
Only 1 Month remained since the Battle of Black Skull. not that Lilith knew, she had a clear Plan in mind now.. it didn't adhere to logic but more to chance and beliefs.. but regardless.. she would somehow grow stronger..
***
Lilith packed up, she was going to a friendly place… While everyone was busy in Antarctica, Fighting to protect the people against the Chain of Nightmares.. She was going somewhere far more deadly..
America.
While she made preparations, She ended her Training in Bastion. She felt she could no longer grow from just Training.. She needed REAL experience.
And the only way to get it, was to be insane.
So she ventured in the Dream Realm, Alone as Well..
She set her mind in place. She was not going to be someone's Pawn, ANYTIME soon.
Once again, Master Jet's words rang in her ears.. 'No one survives Alone in the Dream Realm…' but she ignored those words.. she was alone in her First Nightmare. and She had to kill the human who was supposed to help her before he backstabbed her in her first visit in the Dream Realm..
It wasn't that Lilith did not want a Cohort.. it was just that she felt like anyone around her would eventually betray her. why? Because of Lilith's own Potential and Ambition. Jealousy was a powerful instigator for murder and many other crimes, after all.
But Lilith also knew there were Cohorts ready to Accept her. because they shared Lilith's same ambitions.
'...Focus Lilith.. you can think about what comes next after you're strong enough to join those people who are already so ahead of you.. YOU have to close the gap if you wish to stand beside them.. if you wish to have friends who will stand with you…'
…
Thus, Lilith's journey in the Dream Realm began.. She was not going for Quality.. she was an Awakened Terror, What she wanted from the Dream Realm was Quantity.. she was going to kill as much as she could.. no matter how long, She would Kill tens of thousands Nightmare Creatures and find a Way to Unlock her Aspect Legacy, and therefore her Aspect Ability.
***
While this happened, in a matter of days she has packed, and was.. Not, ready for America. After the Fifth Gate outbreak, Lilith could Never be ready for America, even as a Saint.. but she did not care.
Lilith Casually left a note on her mother's table, a simple one like that she left when she was infected by the spell.
'Im Weak, i'm going to America. DON'T FOLLOW ME, ill survive. so make sure to stay okay. later *Drawing of a waving hand*.'
Lilith was beginning to doubt if her flaw also made her reckless. but that was just an Excuse. She was doing this because she wanted to.
Lilith Sent a long text to her friend Kry, where she said she had to go and that she could die. to make sure not to die should she get infected by the nightmare spell and to be happy, that their friendship was a gift and so on..
She also left a message for Master Jet, nothing fancy, just telling her where she was and so on.
Lilith finally took a Train and left NQSC. she was going to a city that was far away, where she would find a way to reach America.
The most difficult thing was that no one was willing to bring her to America. Swimming from here to America was Suicide, she might have been [Fearless] not a dumb Idiot.
this was a little problem… but one that she managed to resolve with money.
She bought a small boat, and then with the remaining 790 Soul Shards she had, she bought Memories that could potentially save her life.
[Transparent Veil], [Implosion Dagger], [Sound disappear], [Smell disappear], [Emergency Kit], [Charm of Disappearance],
[Second Chance]...
Lilith only had 95 Awakened soul shards left.. which she used to pay for enough Fuel to get to America.
[Transparent Veil] Was useful because it could completely hide what was covered in it from sight, and likewise hide her presence.
Lilith planned to mix that with [Sound disappear] and with [Smell disappear] which.. did exactly what they say the would.
This way she would be completely hidden from any Nightmare creature.
[Implosion Dagger] was a very powerful weapon. but the name was not really right.. What this dagger did was that, when a creature was inflicted a killing blow with it, Skin, Muscles, and Bones would turn incredibly soft. while the other enchantment turn the Nightmare Creatures organs into bombs that did not produce any sound..
Which basically meant that every Nightmare creature killed with the [Implosion Dagger] would silently explode into a rain of blood.
[Emergency Kit] was an auto resupplying memory to heal oneself, [Second Chance] was a memory whose sole purpose was to bring you back from the dead once. one only needed to wear it.
As for [Charm of Disappearance] it was to hide one's presence and sound. it would be useful when hunting.
…
Just like that, Lilith stepped into the boat and began traveling.
She covered the boat with [Transparent Veil], [Sound disappear] and with [Smell disappear].
And then she started the engine and went off, slowly.
