Dream Travel

Chapter 297 This is for you to catch up.
Bai Mu and Rui Fu's reunion lasted only two days. Although she had grown a lot in the dream world, she was still very young.

To be honest, Bai Mu thought that his 'not coming here often' would make the girl feel unfamiliar with him, but the reality was completely different from what he thought.

“Everyone around me has some thoughts I don’t know about, but you don’t,” River whispered to Bai Mu as they parted.

"So...can you please not skip coming next time?"

"Of course not," Bai Mu said with a smile. "I guarantee it."

Rivers nodded vigorously.

“You’re very good at winning people over,” Denise said with a smile from the group.

Bai Mu came here to quickly eliminate the Awakened Ones, so she was indispensable in the team. In addition, Fiesna was also in the team.

Bai Mu didn't really want to bring her along, but she insisted on coming anyway.

Her psychological problems seem to be resolved now, aside from the influence of the White Curtain, the people on the other end of the Bureau are not simple people either.

Knowing that Fissna has psychological issues, they naturally wouldn't ignore it, otherwise it would be a ticking time bomb.

Besides her, the team also includes Galatea and Laphana.

This team can be said to be the most luxurious lineup in the current era of this alternate dream world.

“While you were away, I gathered a lot of information about the Awakened, but you came back a little late,” Raphana told White Curtain on the way.

So much has happened in the past year. The Awakened Ones already knew that the organization had been destroyed. Another major event was that White Curtain killed her sister, reducing the number of Abyss Ones who controlled a region.

This attracted the attention of other Awakened Ones, some of whom ventured to the former site of the Greatsword Organization, presumably to discover some intelligence there.

The greatsword users had long since given up on the old site and hadn't encountered any of the awakened ones.

But elsewhere, many Awakened Ones have been killed by greatswords used in team battles.

The greatswordsmen have been trying to bring their bodies to the brink of awakening, then suppress the influence of demonic flesh and blood to become semi-awakened beings.

Moreover, the inspiration from the White Curtain has also been cited by the Claymore users.

Eating too much can cause them severe discomfort, but discomfort is just a price to pay.

If the effects of demonic flesh and blood can be suppressed in an unsuitable way, it can actually promote the growth of the greatsword.

Maintaining a normal food intake ensures that they escape that abnormal yet normal 'sub-healthy' state.

So far, several greatsword users have successfully attempted this, and in the process, the role of demonic energy synchronization is very significant.

"It's alright, just do your best to clean up." Bai Mu didn't take the matter of the Greatswordsmen dealing with the Awakened Ones too seriously; it was a good thing after all.

Leaving awakened individuals unattended is actually a bad thing.

How many Awakened Ones are left here?

“Less than half,” Raphael said. She had also consulted Galatea when she was investigating the Awakened.

The other party's ability to sense demonic energy is too strong. With her help, we can better pinpoint the locations of awakened beings and demons.

We don't need to worry about demons; once we eliminate them at their source, no new demons will appear.

Without an organization, the number of demons and awakened beings will only decrease.

"The Silver King of the North investigated something at the organization's old site and went to sea three months ago. The South is now occupied by a small number of Awakened Ones, while the West, which currently has the greatest power, is Livru."

After the Silver King of the North was gone, and after my sister... Luciela, she took over the territory of Isley, the Silver King of the North.

They then organized several secret operations in an attempt to capture the Greatswords and awaken them, thereby strengthening the power of the awakened ones.

Laphana's report was very detailed, explaining the current situation of the island very clearly.

In summary, apart from the unluckiest Lucy, the smart ones among the remaining Abyss dwellers had already run away beforehand.

Those who are not smart enough still want to continue dominating this small island, and have a very poor sense of danger, so far they have not realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What is she thinking?" Bai Mu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Despite the organization's destruction and the deaths of fellow Abyss Beings, Isley, the Silver King who controlled the northern part of the island, still managed to send people to investigate.

If they realize something is wrong, or after gathering the necessary intelligence, they simply run away... or they simply don't want to continue the conflict with the greatsword warriors remaining here.

After all, the island is really too small.

Livru in the West, on the other hand, was thinking of taking the opportunity to annex the territories of other Abyss Beings and expand her combat power, which was not unreasonable.

After all the organizations have been wiped out, once the remaining greatswords are dealt with, this place will belong to the Awakened.

Isley has left, and Luciela is dead. From now on, it looks like Livru will be in charge here—right?

The question is, did she really not sense the danger inherent in these things?
“She was quite young when she awakened,” Raphael explained. “And she was the first female Claymore awakener. Because she awakened so early, her mind might not have been mature enough?”

Lafayette wasn't entirely sure about this either. The greatsword could continue to grow even when it wasn't awakened, but after awakening, everything seemed to be fixed.

The potential will be enhanced and unleashed in a one-time event, but the awakened one can no longer become stronger.

Therefore, for greatswords, the later they awaken, the stronger they become. Livru, as the original female greatsword's No. 1, possessed exceptional talent, but she awakened too early.

“Perhaps it’s because of a sense of crisis,” Galatea said, looking into the distance. As an Abyss Being, Livru was still good at hiding her demonic aura, but other Awakened Ones did not have this talent.

"It doesn't matter, I'll handle it." Bai Mu patted his weapon case, which he had bought from a supplier.

Galadriel couldn't help but look at the white curtain. The white curtain was still the same as before, not very good at hiding its demonic aura. Therefore, she could sense the white curtain's enormous demonic aura from a great distance... even more terrifying than the Abyss Ones.

However, his demonic energy is not as dangerous as that of the Abyss One. After all, Bai Mu is still a person, and using demonic energy release will not cause his body to deform. At most, his eyes will change color.

Such a physique would be the envy of any greatsword, especially some warlike greatswords, who also wanted to freely unleash their demonic energy and fight wantonly.

However, the limitations of awakening prevent them from doing so unless they are prepared to awaken.

"What have you been through?" Galadriel couldn't help but ask White Curtain.

"I didn't experience much, I just went to help some people in other places and ate some unusual things... vegetarian."

Bai Mu thought for a moment and realized that the Dream-Eating Mushroom should be vegetarian, no, that thing is a fungus.

"Incredible," Galadriel said sincerely, looking at Teresa, who was arguably the most promising of all the greatswords.

However, in terms of demonic energy, even if Teresa unleashed her demonic energy, she was still weaker than Bai Mu.

"That's a minor matter. Let's clean up this island first," Bai Mu said, looking at Lahua Na.

After completing her intelligence report, Lahuana asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

“Your sister… often suggests that you go with her.” Bai Mu said this, though it wasn’t really necessary to say it, but Lucy Ella would definitely be out and about afterward.

Along the way, Lahua Na had hesitated to speak more than once.

Given Lucyella's nature, she will definitely bring this up after meeting Lafayette.

"You tell her, just don't agree. If she threatens you, I'll teach her a lesson." The white curtain summoned Luciela.

Her appearance did not cause any surprise among the others.

Galadriel and the others all knew about this, and neither Fiesna nor Lucyella reacted much when they saw Lucyella being summoned.

She even felt a bit superior, as this was a little secret between her and Bai Mu, even though quite a few people knew about it.

But she couldn't silence them, so she had no other choice.

"My sister!!" Summoned, Luciela excitedly hugged Lafayette.

He reached out and gently stroked her blind eye: "Losing an eye must be very inconvenient, as long as you come... Ah!"

Lucy, who had been all smiles, immediately screamed and glared at the white curtain that was grabbing her hair. The catgirl, whose fur had stood on end, almost had a breakdown.

"I asked you to come out so we could catch up, not so you could plot against your own sister."

“Damn it…” Luciela gritted her teeth. She cared a lot about Lafayette, but this care was mixed with the values ​​of an Awakened and personal desires.

She and Lafayette are special types of Awakened Ones, and they are connected.

This means that as long as Raphael enters the box with her, both of their powers will be greatly enhanced.

Just as Bai Mu could share demonic energy with her through the weapon box, her sister's arrival was equivalent to expanding her single-channel energy into a dual-channel energy boost.

Even after death, when she was close to Raphael, she had an instinctive urge to merge with her sister.

However, a white curtain can be quite a downer.

Without the interference of the White Curtain, Luciela was confident she could persuade her sister.

After all, she's her sister.

“Sister…” Raphael looked at Luciela, whose face was full of anger, and hesitated to speak.

She had always felt guilty about Luciela's awakening; if she had been able to stabilize Luciela's mind, she could have prevented Luciela's awakening.

However, she failed.

Therefore, Lahua Na was conflicted when faced with her sister's distorted demands. She felt that simply accompanying her sister was not a bad idea.

It's not that I think Lucy Ella is reliable, but that I think White Curtain is reliable.

Her sister is now both dead and alive, so in terms of the outcome, Lahua Na is relieved.

Even if Luciela's values ​​are still aligned with those of the Awakened, as long as the white curtain remains normal, it's fine.

Being controlled by others, Lucyella's values ​​are one thing, but how she acts is another.

But being restricted like this probably won't be very comfortable for Luciela...

"You don't really want to go with her, do you?"
