Dream Travel

Chapter 299 You're Still Special

If the world itself could bestow such a title upon a beneficial insect of nature, it would most likely receive one.

Right now, the main task is to cut down Awakened Ones.

Eat your fill and get a good rest. After you wake up, go straight to slay the Awakened. In White Curtain's luxurious lineup, those Awakened are basically easy prey.

Are you kidding me? He even killed Lucy Ella, how much longer can the remaining Awakened Ones struggle?
"Actually, I could announce my return, gather a group of awakened individuals, and then just kill them all."

Lucy Ella offered suggestions.

"No need, just go directly there. Those Awakened Ones can't escape." Bai Mu did not take Luciela's suggestion.

So the catgirl continued to pester her sister.

The white curtain looked towards the distant town, which was somewhat dilapidated. According to Galadriel's investigation, an Awakened One was hiding there.

There were no demons; the Awakened Ones had dealt with them all. It wasn't that the Awakened Ones wanted to do good, but rather that the existence of demons had encroached upon their territory.

Having lost Luciela's territory, which was occupied by the Awakened, every town became their dining hall.

"On a?"

“Even if there’s only one, there will be conflicts among Awakened Ones,” Galadriel said with great certainty. “But now we’ve been exposed.”

Her tone was slightly helpless. The white curtain was not good at hiding demonic energy, and the methods used by the greatswords to hide demonic energy were not applicable to the white curtain.

In other words, although Bai Mu has demonic energy, the two are not the same in terms of constitution.

The only thing they have in common is that they are both forms of demonic energy. She used to be able to try to limit Bai Mu's demonic energy and reduce its intensity by using demonic energy synchronization.

Now, if she wants to do this, it will take her a lot of time, and if Bai Mu makes even the slightest big move, the demonic energy will immediately return to normal.

The organization's secret medicine had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Then let's just take them down! With a lineup like ours, there's no need for us to hide anything!"

Bai Mu put it bluntly: of the four present, Galatea is the weakest in combat, but the other three are all formidable fighters.

In terms of type, they are all similar. Teresa's ability to sense demonic energy allows her to specialize in attacking any opponent with the same type of demonic energy.

Lahua Na's demonic energy membrane is a rare type of 'external demonic energy release', but this release only involves perception and does not have any substantial physical impact.

This is a range perception, which looks similar to Teresa's demonic aura perception, but in reality, the two perceptions are very different.

One has an external effect, and the other has an internal effect.

Teresa's ability lies in sensing the flow of demonic energy in her target, allowing her to accurately predict the target's movements with greater precision, but it also consumes more energy.

Lahua Na's perception is triggered; a membrane of demonic energy spreads around her, and the enemy's actions will touch this membrane.

Once she senses something, you can react accordingly; this process doesn't require you to see your opponent's actions with your eyes.

It requires relatively little energy to maintain and is more likely to benefit multiple people.

However, her demonic aura membrane is a sensory system that shortens reaction time, rather than the 'prediction' achieved by Teresa's demonic aura perception.

Even so, these two greatswords are both very powerful in one-on-one combat.

Fisna is a strange character, but she is still young and needs to grow.

Inside the town, the awakened ones hidden there were terrified; the abnormal demonic aura emanating from the white curtain made them want to flee immediately.

The opponent gave her the feeling of being from the abyss; she couldn't possibly win against such an opponent.

No, if it were just Bai Mu alone, she might be able to give it a try, but Bai Mu is accompanied by other greatswordsmen.

"You're not allowed to come any closer!!" After the white curtain entered the town, the Awakened Ones hidden there had regained their Awakened forms and taken several residents hostage.

"Why bother? I just want to kill you, and you're threatening me with someone else's life?" Bai Mu sighed and put down the weapon case in his hand.

It actually worked? Seeing that the threat had succeeded, the awakened one revealed a hint of joy.

"Next, take all your teammates... Why is someone missing?" A shrill scream came from her mouth.

The slash from behind severed her altered limbs, and the captured hostage lost any possibility of threatening the White Curtain.

In that instant, she saw the white curtain rushing towards her, and a box smashing down on her head.

The awakened one was instantly plunged into darkness.

"Tsk...that was decisive." Looking at the Awakened whose head had been smashed open, Denise laughed and flicked the blood off her greatsword.

Bai Mu's attack was much faster than hers.

However, Bai Mu's actions are also easy to guess. His massive demonic aura easily exposes his intentions, but being able to guess them doesn't mean they are easy to deal with.

"Saving people from dire straits, there's no time to waste." Bai Mu reached out and grabbed the Awakened's corpse, walking out of the town.

"Wait...do we need to pay them?" The anxious villagers stepped forward. They knew there were man-eating monsters in the town, but there was nothing they could do.

Anyone who tries to escape will be caught and eaten first, while in towns, they will be chosen by lottery...

“We’re here to hunt.” Bai Mu finished speaking and walked out of the town. He smashed the blood-stained weapon box on the ground and summoned the newly collected mental fragments: “Now eat your corpse… never mind, try it yourself. Don’t eat it if it doesn’t make you stronger.”

"..." The summoned Awakened One was still somewhat bewildered, but under the command of the White Curtain, it immediately reverted to its Awakened form and began to devour its own corpse in grief and anger.

After confirming that she hadn't improved at all, she immediately stopped: "What exactly do you want? Are you a demon?"

"You, an Awakened One, say I am a demon?" White Curtain chuckled.

The other person wiped the blood from the corner of their mouth, stared at their hands in disbelief, and was certain they were dead.

The Awakened One reacted quickly; when the white curtain smashed a box over her head, she clearly felt the pain before death.

When she woke up again, she saw her still-warm corpse, and the white curtain, like a demon, made her eat her own corpse.

"You think she's me?" Luciela walked over and glanced at the Awakened One with disdain.

The other party was an awakened being from some period, someone who would have been instantly killed if they had encountered her in the past.

"It's worth a try, but you still have a talent for eating." Bai Mu said with a hint of regret, as Lucy Ella's phantom became stronger when it ate her own corpse.

But this Awakened One didn't improve at all. Clearly, not all Awakened Ones can be like Luciela.

However, this cannot be guaranteed to be true. The white curtain did not offer any explanation to the awakened one and went directly to the next location.

"It's unbelievable no matter how you look at it. You might really be a demon," Denise commented on White Curtain's actions.

Bai Mu clicked his tongue: "I kill demons, okay... uh, maybe more than just demons."

Bai Mu thought of the half-succubus he had encountered in Meilin City.

"What? Do you want me to give you some insurance? So that when you're about to die, you can go live in the box for a while?"

Bai Mu wouldn't mind forcing those who deserved it into the box, and he'd pick up the good guys if they wanted to, but he wouldn't force them to come in if they didn't want to...

Being a good person doesn't mean being fearless of death, and why should a good person have to face death in certain situations?

“That might be a long time from now.” Denise didn’t refuse, but she asked a question that made Bai Mu somewhat hesitant to answer: “Will you be able to come back in time by then?”

"I will try my best to ensure that after this, there will be no more threats to you here."

Bai Mu moved on to the next location. Since they had already started, they couldn't afford to waste too much time. The awakened ones might have poor perception of demonic energy, but they weren't completely devoid of it.

The white curtain is like a giant searchlight. Since we've already started, taking too long could allow other awakened individuals to escape prematurely.

So once they started, they couldn't stop.

In the southern part of the island, the Awakened who hadn't had much time to enjoy their newfound freedom began to flee.

They're not stupid. If they discovered that there were abnormal 'greatsword warriors' reaping them, wouldn't they run away?

They wanted to run away, but they couldn't.

Galadriel's wide-ranging demonic aura perception left those awakened beings with nowhere to escape.

The White Curtain side is highly mobile, and Luciela's awakened form exhibits extremely fast movement speed.

Those who have awakened cannot escape even if they want to.

“There aren’t many strong Awakened here; a portion of them are concentrated in the Holy City,” Galadriel said, looking at the Awakened who had been killed by the white curtain.

This is the last awakened being in the southern region.

The number of Awakened Ones was not large to begin with, mainly because successive generations of Claymores had also attempted to subdue them. Although many attempts failed, some were successful.

As for those that failed to be defeated, the greatswords that died will not awaken.

And those who successfully defeated the awakened ones were left with nothing more.

The awakened ones here are all female awakened ones. There are also male awakened ones, but they are fewer in number.

The organization only had a group of male Awakened Ones. Due to the failure of the experiment, they abandoned further training and instead began to train more controllable and stable female Awakened Ones.

"During the time you were away, the town of Luoguduo was attacked, and it was related to male Awakened Ones."

"Huh? Weren't they led astray and forced to run away?"

Galadriel shook her head: "Not all Awakened Ones want to leave."

There are quite a few awakened individuals who are trying to completely control this island. Some time ago, there were even awakened individuals hiding their demonic aura who tried to come here to gather intelligence.

As a result, he was discovered by Teresa and killed on the spot. If an awakened person does not use their demonic energy for a long time, they can indeed hide their demonic energy to a high degree.

Even Galadriel couldn't easily detect them from too far away, but the Awakened Ones who came here were not of that kind.

"Don't worry about it. Those who don't want to leave shouldn't leave... Actually, they should all stay."

Awakened individuals who leave go to other continents to cause trouble, but this also makes it easy for them to expose information about this place.
