Dream Travel

Chapter 189 Wanting a Different Color

“This is probably the most powerful one.” Bai Mu looked at the target that appeared in the distance and said to Luciela beside him.

Her elaborate makeup was gone, and she was no longer wearing high heels; instead, she was barefoot.

After all, it had been almost ten days, and the makeup couldn't last that long. Before the makeup changed, Lucy Ella took the initiative to wipe it clean.

"Then why don't you just run away?" Luciela couldn't discern anything from the bounty hunter who had arrived.

They've been active around Rota City these past few days, killing quite a few bounty hunters.

To put it in White Curtain's words, they are innocent here, and what they are doing is eliminating harm for the people. Under such circumstances, bounty hunters who come to cause trouble must be bad people.

While the ten million heads in the White Curtain are enough to tempt any normal person, can someone be a good person if they are tempted by an illegal warrant?
If you really want to make money, why not look for all the legitimate bounties available instead of coming to him?

"What a joke! Go! Kill him! I'll cover you."

Bai Mu reached out and patted Lucy's butt. The latter gave him a disgruntled look, grabbed the Dream Eater Greatsword, and charged toward the bounty hunter.

They were all planning to go back when this guy had to show up at this time. Luciela's thoughts weren't as 'complex' as Bai Mu's. Her thinking was simple: anyone who tried to stop her from returning to the city had to die!

She could only live the life of a medieval village girl in her lifetime, and now she can't even enjoy herself after death?
But Bai Mu was illegally wanted for no reason. She could tolerate that, but she couldn't tolerate Bai Mu being "wandering" everywhere because of it.

When she was less than 30 meters away from the white curtain, Luciela's body underwent a dramatic change, transforming into the form of an Awakened One.

The bounty hunters who came looking for her spotted Luciela from afar. She was unarmed and didn't seem like much of a threat, but Bai Mu had said that this guy was quite capable, so Luciela wouldn't let her guard down.

In the past ten days, they have encountered quite a few formidable opponents.

They've collected quite a few heads alone. It's not that Lucy and Ella are keeping them as food reserves, but Bai Mu thinks these powerful guys deserve a bounty... They'll have Lily appraise them later.

Lucy Ella had no objection to White Curtain's management of the household.

A dark power emerged from the bounty hunter, and that power quickly ignited, forming a blackish flame.

"So handsome?" Bai Mu clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at the demonized bounty hunter.

Black flames, Bai Mu felt that this kind of flame was very suitable for him. After all, he used green-glowing lightning every day. Although it did not come from his body, he always felt that something was wrong with using it too much.

We need to use another color to neutralize it.

Despite having many thoughts in mind, Bai Mu acted without hesitation.

The Ling Shu sniper rifle and weapon case flickered with subtle electric currents. The Ling Shu did not have the energy storage effect of the weapon case; it could only convert the corresponding lightning in real time during combat.

The weapon crate will continuously convert lightning into energy and store it as long as the White Curtain is in combat readiness. As long as the consumption does not affect the user's status, this process is fine.

Store it for ten or eight days, and you can unleash a powerful attack after meeting or fighting for a while.

As for the fact that the bounty hunter who came was a demon, that's normal. There are more than just demons in this world. If it were just humans coming to cause trouble, Bai Mu would think that all bad people are of the same kind.

It's actually better now that there's an inhuman one.

The demon engulfed in black flames was formidable; the black fireballs it threw formed a defensive net in front of them.

Furthermore, this flame affected the all-seeing future vision.

This Imperial Arm is always less than ideal when facing beings with special powers.

Although it was quite powerful in its original world.

The effect of futuristic vision was affected by the flames on the demon's body, but clairvoyance was not greatly affected. The demon also had its pride, and the black flames did not burn the demon's face.

Therefore, White Curtain was still able to predict this guy's intentions. The demon was intercepting Luciela, but the main attention was still on White Curtain.

This guy knows some of the information about the White Curtain, but unfortunately, his Insight can only read the thoughts currently synchronized to the other party's 'expression', and cannot read overly complex thoughts.

The information White Curtain obtained was limited, but it was enough. With Lucy Ella holding them back, they could find an opportunity to take this guy down with one shot.

Luciela, who was blocked by the black flames, didn't really want to touch them. The temperature emitted by the black flames seemed to be about the same as that of ordinary flames, but if they were ordinary flames, she would have ignored them and rushed past them.

However, these black flames gave her an extremely strong sense of discomfort.

Luciela chose to take a detour; she did not jump directly over the blockade of black flames.

Anyway, she was fast enough, and the distance between the demon and the white curtain was far enough, so the demon couldn't get around her to approach the white curtain.

"What a peculiar ghost." The demon looked on with interest as he watched Luciela walk around the black flames.

During those ten days, Bai Mu frantically racked up kills because as more people died from his bounties, ordinary people calmed down and stopped crowding together to die.

The rest were people who were confident in their own abilities, and many of these confident people also died.

The message was just a bit slow to spread, so people from other places were still rushing to Rota City.

Illegal bounty posters also have corresponding intelligence providers, but these types of bounties are more prone to being double-crossed.

It's not about bounty hunters and those with bounties on their heads, but rather bounty hunters and intelligence brokers.

The demon arrived in Rota City later; he didn't go directly to find White Curtain within the city. Although he wouldn't trigger the city's defense protocol under normal circumstances, it would take effect after he transformed into a demon.

That thing wouldn't kill him outright, but being marked would still be troublesome.

The demons have specialized intelligence agents who have gathered a considerable amount of information about the White Curtain during this period.

A bounty of ten million is a lot of money. Not only would humans be tempted by it, but even demons would be tempted by such a reward.

We also have information on Lucyella. She's a very strange woman working for White Curtain, possessing extremely strong physical abilities and of unknown origin...

This was all the information the informant could obtain. Now that they had made contact with the other party, the demon had discovered Luciela's 'true identity'.

This is not a 'pet', but a 'dead spirit', although Luciela's state of being is unique and doesn't look like a dead spirit.

"My flames can ignite the soul!"

The flames that failed to be intercepted quickly spun back under the demon's manipulation, forming a huge ring of fire that enveloped Luciela.

Inside the ring of fire, Lucyella appeared frantic; it was the first time she had encountered such an enemy.

In her world, humans either rely on greatsword warriors or use weapons like bows and crossbows; there are no real special powers in this other world.

Now that she has encountered a demon who can unleash fire, and given that this fire is indeed a threat to her, Luciela is feeling the pressure.

Without much hesitation, she charged out through the flames.

Since this demon is restricting her by locking her up, it means he wants to force her to jump up.

She just hadn't dealt with an opponent like a demon before; it wasn't that she lacked combat experience.

The demon frowned slightly, and black flames condensed into a giant sword in his hand, which he slashed down at Luciela.

This cat-faced ghost is too clever; its enormous size makes it quite troublesome to get close to it.

However, the demon's melee abilities are not bad either. Since they cannot trap Luciela, they should deal with this special 'ghost' that has a physical form first.

The flaming greatsword ignited Luciela's massive body, leaving obvious burn marks on her.

The flames that could harm the soul had a significant impact on her body.

Luciela could feel her stored energy being burned, but she could accept that, since the White Curtain would provide energy after the stored energy was burned up.

The physical exhaustion isn't the problem; the problem is that she's in a lot of pain right now.

The damage from flames is far more painful than the slashes from a sharp blade.

Even the sharp mouths that could grow on her body couldn't devour the black flames.

Despite repeated attacks, Luciela not only failed to find an opportunity to defeat her opponent, but the black flames burning on her body also increased.

However, the demon was not having an easy time either. Luciela's size gave her an advantage, and with her agile twin tails attacking in tandem, the demon was sent flying if it slowed down even slightly.

The demon possesses some form of protection and is physically very strong, allowing it to continue fighting normally even after withstanding Lucyella's attacks.

"You can't even handle an elemental enemy?"

The white curtain, with its gun at the ready, was still looking for an opportunity. Luciela was at a disadvantage because of the black fire, but the demon was not in good condition either.

In a life-or-death struggle, even the demon might not be able to defeat Luciela, but that kind of fire is more lethal to the soul, which caused Luciela to suffer a loss.

The demon's attention was always focused on the White Curtain, which increased Luciela's chances of winning.

Just give her a little help during crucial attacks.

The weapon crate's energy indicator light faded by a third, and the demon, who was wielding a flaming greatsword and fighting Luciela, paused.

The flaming greatsword does not kill by cutting, but by burning the enemy with intense flames.

Ordinary people would be burned to a crisp in front of this weapon.

Lucyella was very resilient. In the demon's eyes, this ghostly body stored a large amount of energy, which reduced the damage from the black fire.

It's essentially a shield constructed by demons or mages.

Once her stored energy is burned out, the black flames will deal real damage.

Luciela's fighting style is not like that of a ghost at all; it's more like that of a living, berserk beast.

His attack was blocked by a layer of lightning.

The surging green electricity clashed violently with his flaming greatsword. The demon needed to control the weapon, but Luciela's movements were unaffected.

These currents were not her own power, nor could she control them, but the demonic energy emanating from the white curtain greatly enhanced her power.

The brief moment of stun upon the appearance of the demon determined the outcome of this battle.
