Dream Travel

Chapter 287 You won’t live much longer

With the added bonus from the demon-slaying ornament, the White Curtain's attack inflicted significant damage on Luxembra's projection.

The area struck by lightning bore wounds resembling those cut by a sharp blade, proving that the exorcising ornament was more effective than Bai Mu had anticipated.

This thing just didn't deal any fatal damage.

After repelling Lexenberg, White Curtain swung his weapon case and smashed it down on him.

Each attack was accompanied by a burst of lightning. The commotion caused Elek and the others to slow down their attacks and look over.

"Where did this monster come from?" one of Elek's teammates couldn't help but say, swinging his double-edged axe and killing a demon cultist.

These demon cultists have had their souls ignited by demons, making them incredibly powerful, but the weapons used by the demon hunters are all enhanced to kill demons.

That was enough to inflict fatal damage on these demons.

"Let's finish this quickly," Elek said. Although they were dealing with a projection of a primordial demon, the projection was not much different from the original, except that it was slightly weaker.

The white curtain seems to have the upper hand now, but dragging it out for too long is not a good thing.

Elek kicked away the charging demon cultist, and blasted the cultist's head off with the hand cannon in his hand.

This attack was imbued with the power of holy scripture, and the slain demon cultists were 'purified' along with their souls.

Demons can manipulate souls, and souls marked by demonic power can be easily exploited by demons.

Therefore, when eliminating those who have accepted demonic power, their souls must also be 'purified'.

Especially when there are primal demons present, if you don't do this, the enemies you eliminate may become the source of the primal demons' power.

The demon hunters have plenty of experience in this area.

Eric's gaze inadvertently swept towards Iris, who had just punched a demon in the chest, and holy flames erupted from the demon's back.

Eric's eye twitched slightly at the sight.

When the other person was first assigned to the team, Elek thought that the team would finally have a different color, since his previous team was full of musclemen.

However, after that one operation, Elek no longer treated Iris as a woman in battle.

On the White Curtain's side, Lexenberg swung his decapitation sword, forcing the White Curtain back.

He reached out and struck the heavily wounded demon cultists, whose power began to spiral out of control. The wounded demon cultists struggled and resisted.

But as Luxembla's sneer deepened, the resistance of those people rapidly weakened, and the souls corrupted by demonic power converged on him.

Just then, the white-clad weapon crate slammed down, and the burst of lightning obscured Luxembla's vision.

However, demons don't only perceive things with their eyes. Sensing the threat, the primal demon quickly lowered its raised hand, avoiding the white curtain's subsequent attacks.

He stared intently at the hilt of the sword in Bai Mu's hand; it was this weapon that had killed two of his projections in succession.

This weapon possesses strong cryogenic lethality, but what truly poses a threat to him is the Dream Erosion effect inherent in the weapon.

The projection is forcibly fixed here, and the few remaining souls that hold it together cannot escape, which is the greatest threat.

Now that White Curtain wants to use the same trick again, using this weapon against him, Lexenberg is utterly enraged.

He remotely crushed the souls that had not yet gathered, and Lexenberg grinned as he stared at the white screen, babbling in a language that the white screen could not understand.

Those burning souls transformed into some kind of malevolent force.

"That's a demon's curse!" Elek shouted, alerting the white curtain.

Original demons possess many powers, and curses are one of their specialties.

"I saw it!" Bai Mu slashed down with the condensed longsword in his hand at the rapidly approaching force. The force exploded slightly, and a few black marks appeared on his arm.

Most of the power was stabilized by the Dream Erosion attribute of the condensed longsword, bounced off like a baseball, and landed on the ground, where the ground was stained black by the power of the demon.

Before he could even check the condition of his arm, Bai Mu parried and blocked the decapitation sword that Lexenberg was about to strike.

Luxembla's power is strong, but White Veil's power is not weak either; it's just that condensed matter weapons are not conventional weapons.

This weapon's damage is primarily focused on 'magical attacks'; it's not well-suited for slashing or hacking attacks.

Even so, after the two weapons collided, the decapitation sword formed from demonic power trembled, creating a shadow shock that spread outwards, making the already ravaged dance hall even more shattered.

Lexenberg whispered, directly detonating the curse that clung to the white curtain.

Part of the detonated curse power was blocked by the ornaments carried by Bai Mu, while the other part still affected him.

The shadow marks on his sword-wielding arm exploded, the flesh torn open, but they quickly healed, allowing him to steadily parry the downward-pressing decapitation sword.

Seeing this, Luxenbra showed a slight surprise: "What are you?" Humans don't have this kind of regenerative ability. Bai Mu is indeed human, so this guy must have eaten some kind of Dream Erosion food that enhances regeneration?

To Lexenbra's astonishment, the white curtain's demonic energy was further unleashed, becoming even more violent, and its power and speed were enhanced by the ferocity of the demonic energy.

Releasing his demonic energy to this extent was very taxing on him, but the energy he accumulated from the Dream-Eating Mushroom allowed him to ignore the consumption for a short period of time.

As long as an uncontrollable hunger does not arise, the white curtain can still suppress the violent impulse brought about by the release of demonic energy.

Lexenberg's eyes widened as his downward-pressing decapitation sword was deflected by the white curtain, causing him to stagger back two steps.

Lexenberg looked away. While White Curtain was fighting him, the demon cultists had been wiped out by the demon hunter team.

The souls of the demon cultists they killed were purified, leaving him with no extra resources.

Seeing this, Lexenberg lost the will to fight. There were simply too few demon cultists here, and his method of descent was not through a demon ritual, so its limits were limited.

Even with more resources invested, it's not guaranteed that we can defeat the White Curtain.

Since that's the case, let's give up for now; he'll have plenty of opportunities.

Lexenberg steadied himself, and blasphemous demonic language rang out as he thrust his decapitation sword toward the ground.

The ground was covered by a layer of shadow, and countless spikes emerged from the ground, stabbing at all targets within range like venomous snakes.

Luxembla's body began to fade after unleashing the attack.

The power possessed by a projection transformed through burning the souls of demon cultists is ultimately limited.

If a temporary body is created using a demonic ritual, then the situation is different.

Ultimately, it's because this world doesn't have a 'hell,' which means some of the original demons aren't in perfect condition.

Luxembra belongs to this type of demon. In his world, demons and hell are deeply connected, and hell can amplify the projection of demons.

Even if a demon is killed, because of the existence of hell, the demon will not truly die; killing a demon in the human world is merely banishing it.

In this world, because there is no hell, demons like him are killed; because of the lack of hell, they truly must die.

Therefore, demons like him tend to be quite cautious in their actions.

Within the shadowy area, the white curtain swung out the steel wire in its hand, which wrapped around a weapon box not far away and pulled hard.

The weapon crate that had fallen to the ground flew toward him. He pulled out the Dream Eater Greatsword from the approaching crate and shattered the approaching Shadow Spikes with a sweeping motion.

After clearing out a blank area, Bai Mu glanced at his feet; the power of the shadows had already destroyed his shoes.

The shadowy forces on the ground were like thorns, stinging my bare feet when I stepped on them.

However, a faint white light emanated from him, reducing the damage from the shadows, and the demon-slaying ornament was still in effect.

White Curtain's gaze locked onto Lexenberg, and he gave him a malicious smile.

He ignored the pain in his feet. The shadow beneath his feet exploded due to the intense force, and his figure became blurred in Luxembla's eyes.

The unexpected speed startled Lexenberg; he hadn't expected the white curtain to rush over like that.

Luxembla raised his hand to detonate the generated shadow area, but the white curtain moved faster.

With a single strike, the Dream Eater Greatsword smashed through the shadow spikes blocking Luxenbra's path, while the condensed longsword pierced through his arm and plunged into his chest.

The primordial demon couldn't help but roar. The demon-slaying pendant was in Bai Mu's hand, and the weapon held by that hand was thus imbued with power against demons.

This sword strike caused him immense damage; divine power spread along his heart, and the demon's projection, severely depleted of power, should have become unstable as a result.

However, the Dream Erosion attribute of the condensed longsword fixed his projection in place, preventing him from escaping.

At this moment, Lexenberg calmed down and said with a sinister grin, "You won't live much longer."

He could sense that the white curtain hadn't yet revealed its full power; if this guy had used the speed he was at from the start, the battle would have been over long ago.

Although Bai Mu used special powers through props, the demonic spell he just witnessed revealed that Bai Mu's physical strength was no less than that of some high-level demons.

Otherwise, his demonic spells wouldn't be almost ineffective; even with the protection of the holy seal, his demonic spells wouldn't be weakened to this extent.

The demonic spells weren't effective enough, mainly because White Curtain was incredibly tough. What a new human genius... Hehehehe!
“Many people think so.” Bai Mu swung the Dream Eater Greatsword and slashed down at Lexenbra, whose body was already covered with a layer of frost.

The demonic projection was completely eliminated, and the few remaining fragments of its soul were captured by the weapon box.

Bai Mu let out a breath, only then noticing that his clothes were already tattered.

The berserk state after the release of demonic energy suppressed his body's pain sensation, making him insensitive to these injuries. The pain only surfaced after the battle ended.
