Dream was still testing things about the battle maiden when he sensed the presence of approaching valkyries.
I guess I really can't get a break, can I?
In that moment, Dream, who wasn't with half his resources as he usually is when Valkyrie usually appears in his visions, decided to try something today. Instead of running away only to be caught up, Dream decided to approach the incoming valkyries.
"I'll be dealing with them anyway; better to do it now than later," he thought.
It was his opportunity to try his battle maiden in combat.
As suggested by the threads Dream followed, there were four of them: one winged valkyrie and three conventional ones.

What's with these expressions? Are you guys so surprised to see me coming to you instead of running away?
I'm a changed man, you know.
Wasting no time, Dream, upon allowing the valkyrie to do their usual things: threaten him before giving him their names, promptly opened up the hostilities. Giving a mental command to the battle maiden to go deal with the flying valkyrie without a second of hesitation, the battle maiden flapped her wings and went on to take care of the task given to her.
Dream opened up with an electro-elementalis attack.

Speaking of which, let’s check out how our Battle Maiden’s doing.

After another shoutout between him and the valkyrie, Dream, who’d finished dealing with the three valkyries, turned his attention back to the Battle Maiden, still engaged in her battle with the flying valkyrie.

Hmm.
In the end a Battle Maiden is still inferior to a true valkyrie even with this difference of level.
“I guess I should just be happy she was able to have managed to keep the valkyrie's attention,” Dream mumbled, deciding to step in.
Initially, he conjured spears of Odo with the intention of using [Photomorphism], but Dream subsequently had a change of heart.
"I’m not sure if this is going to work on a thoroughly obliterated valkyrie, so better stick with my electro-elementalis."

As the valkyrie plummeted down to the ground, Dream followed with another attack that obliterated the valkyrie’s H.P.

"Now then," Dream continued, his gaze shifting to the last remaining valkyrie, the one with wings.
After witnessing the clash between the Battle Maiden and the valkyrie, Dream grasped a fundamental truth - a valkyrie, unless severely outmatched in Odo reserves and O.M.P, would inevitably surpass a Battle Maiden, as proven in their encounter. This realization fueled his insatiable greed, whispering to him, "I need more."
A single Maiden Valkyrie wouldn't be enough; he needed more, for it was the only way he could currently think of bridging the chasm between a true valkyrie's might and his own Battle Maidens.
