Ved closed his eyes and activated his dream mist. The ability he intended to use was new and required a lot of will and mental energy.
It also needed him to be close to the target to be more effective. Which is why he had to be inside the city.
His mind split into millions of tiny fragments and using the will in his dream mist. He invaded the dreams of the humans in the city.
This ability was almost impossible to use on a rank 4 who is not asleep , which is why he needed them to fall asleep but forcefully putting so many people to sleep is not easy.
So he just made them a bit sleepy and everything else happened on it own. His intentions here was to read their memories through their dreams.
While dreams aren't reliable sources of information, they are made of memories, desires and fears of people.
Ved had a feeling he would be able to separate those and can dig deeper into the person's mind through the dreams themselves.
