Once they grew tired of breaking ceilings, Ryan, Femradiel, and Alissa decided to stop to catch a breath. Naturally, Hypnos annoyed the hell out of them with his attacks. Considering what happened before, Ryan assumed that Hypnos was somewhere above them. However, they could only cause so much destruction. Hypnos made sure to create an environment in his dream world where he could attack and be protected by hundreds of layers of earth. If anything, he deserved praise for being that creative.
"We don't have enough power to keep going like this," Femradiel said. "For all we know, it is possible that Hypnos is creating another layer of defense right now between us and him. In this place his will is absolute."
"We have wasted too much time here, we have to return to reality right now, no matter the cost," Alissa nodded.
