Dream Travel

Chapter 316 Looking for some excitement
With the white curtain as a reminder, Mine did realize the information she had overlooked. She was frozen, but she hadn't lost her eyesight and could still see the battle.

Esdeath did indeed experience a lack of accuracy in her attacks after being injured.

Originally able to easily withstand the attacks of Akame and Kurome, he began to struggle as the battle was about to end.

As an observer, she believed at that time that if she were still able to fight, she could definitely kill Esdeath.

“But you were eliminated right from the start.” Chelsea walked over, pinched Mine’s cheek with a grin, and handed her her coat.

“I won’t be careless next time.” Mine glared at Esdeath. She really hadn’t expected that she would be the first to be ‘decapitated’.

Esdeath chuckled, found a place to sit down, and accepted the grilled meat that Shirobe handed her.

The battle was over. She should eat something and rest. She knew that after being released from her summons, the next time she opened her eyes, it would be the second battle.

As for the development of the secret techniques for Imperial Arms... we still need to work on it for a while longer.

Under the current conditions, half a month is enough, and there is even time for her to refine the secret techniques for subsequent development.

She already had some ideas when she fought against Bai Mu before, and the current accumulation is for the future to make a big splash.

"Eat and get some rest."

"Oh? You won't let me go back?" Esdeath asked, somewhat surprised.

"I want to see if you can recover on your own while you're out and about."

“Okay.” Esdeath had no objection to this; it was good to be able to get out and about more.

Although this world has nothing to do with her anymore, she still wants to know what happened in this world.

Esdeath went directly to Chelsea to find out about the matter. The others weren't involved in intelligence work, so they naturally sought out the person who knew the most information.

Bai Mu then approached Luciela, looking at the two sisters with some curiosity: "What kind of state are you in? A fusion?"

“It’s a fusion of demonic energy. We sisters are already connected, and we can become even closer when we awaken.” Lucyella hugged Lafayette with affection.

They are twins, and the demonic flesh implanted in them is from the same piece; their connection is very close.

Therefore, it is not difficult for awakened beings to fuse. Moreover, in that state, their demonic energy can be said to double, and the skills that Lafayette is good at are also amplified and enhanced with awakening.

Although those delicate threads were not lethal, they were extensions of her demonic aura membrane.

The fine threads can precisely capture changes in the environment.

The environmental changes caused by the enemy's actions will trigger those delicate threads, although they are less concealed than the demonic membrane of Lahuana.

However, the scope and types of perception have increased significantly.

The temperature changes caused by Esdeath's ice can be sensed, as can the airflow changes she creates when she attacks.

Furthermore, the closer one is to the sisters, the more accurate their perception becomes.

In her semi-combined state, she is an enhanced combat vehicle, while Lafayette is a super radar.

Together, the sisters are invincible...

"Really? Let's try it another day." Bai Mu was itching to try it.

“No, share your demonic energy with us in the next battle.” Luciela refused without hesitation.

Fighting against the White Curtain is pointless; there's no reward for winning, and it often leaves a sore butt at night. And if you lose... losing definitely puts you in a bad mood.

It would be better to exploit Bai Mu in other battles, making him provide more demonic energy to strengthen himself.

"Do your awakened forms need to be equipped with weapons?" Bai Mu asked La Hua Na.

Lafayette's awakened form is much smaller than Luciela's, and although she doesn't look like a proper catgirl, she's not easily accepted by most people.

But Bai Mu didn't care about that... he'd already become a ghost knight.

“We can have weapons,” Raphael said immediately. Even in her awakened form, she still had the ability to fight normally.

However, Luciela is larger, so in this battle, she acts as a support character. If given a weapon, she can also fight alongside the enemy.

"Alright, I'll lend you the greatsword later, but this weapon might be a bit dangerous for you."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Mu decided that the most important thing right now was to get Esdeath to develop a new crowd control technique, and then try to upgrade the weapon case so that it could carry more items.

After chatting with Lucy and Ayla for a while, Bai Mu noticed that Leone was acting a bit suspiciously.

She winked at Bai Mu, then said to the others, "I'm going to find a place to take a shower, um... I'll be right back."

"Are they going to find a place to take a bath?" Mine was intrigued by the idea of ​​a bath, but Leone might not actually be looking for one.

"It must be a stolen moment of sunshine," Seele whispered after she had rested.

“…Of course I can tell, really,” Mine muttered. “They better find a place to shower.” She waited until she fell asleep, but the person never returned. When she woke up the next day, she didn’t even think about changing into a spare set of clothes.

"Don't look at me, I've found a place to take a shower, but you're asleep," Bai Mu said innocently.

Going into the grove took a little time, but he did keep his promise.

“Next time we can find a place to take a bath first,” Leone said with a smile.

"There won't be a next time!" Mine glared fiercely at Leone, who had forgotten her principles for the sake of beauty, and was not going to give Leone another chance to cheat.

In the following period, she did not give Leone a chance to sneak a bite, but as a result, the intensity of the White Curtain's actions increased directly.

They've certainly had their eyes opened. They were the ones who first fought Esdeath, and then a bunch of rather abnormal Awakened Ones appeared.

Those strange shapes and forms give you a completely different feeling when you see them in person compared to when you see them in photos.

All we can say is that those monsters were unlucky to be killed by the White Curtain.

Esdeath, who was being 'trained' so harshly, didn't evoke much empathy or even sympathy from them.

This woman is too strong and too powerful. Although her physical constitution cannot be improved, her combat ability is increasing.

After adapting to the combat state of the Awakened, she displayed extremely dangerous combat abilities when dealing with those Awakened.

Esdeath's mental state recovers slower when she's outside than when she's inside the weapon case, but overall it doesn't affect her overall recovery.

In the final days of Project White, during a battle, a deep blue dome froze the surrounding environment.

From the moment this move began until it ended, those who were controlled were unaware of what had happened, including the awakened ones.

The moment the freeze ended, they wanted to continue fighting, but after feeling the coldness on their bodies, they realized that they had been attacked without their knowledge.

The area that was attacked was covered by a line of ice, but this line of ice also represented their 'death'.

In a real battle, they would have died from attacks on vital organs.

After that, Mine, the most active member of the team, became much quieter; she was truly feeling the pressure.

They also improved when sparring with Esdeath, but Esdeath's mastery of the Imperial Arms made her improvement seem even more terrifying.

In particular, that wide-area crowd control technique, although it has no direct killing power, freezes the surrounding environment in a special way, making them completely unaware of what is happening during the freezing process.

Mine tried to attack from outside Esdeath's control range, but the results were not very good.

Her attacks would stop once they entered that strange frozen area, and would only resume once the freeze disappeared.

Although they are both Imperial Arms, Esdeath's Imperial Arms is on a completely different level compared to theirs.

Furthermore, since Esdeath is currently dead, wielding such a Teigu would only make her more terrifying.

During her lifetime, she had every opportunity to overwhelm Esdeath with sheer numbers.

No matter how powerful she is, her stamina is limited. Her Imperial Arms technique, which freezes a large area, is unbeatable, but how many times can she use it frequently?
Even if you exhaust her strength, you can still kill her.

The problem is that Esdeath is now dead, and with the White Veil providing her energy, her stamina is unrestricted.

As for the impact, it's that if such a secret technique is used too many times, one's mental state will not be able to keep up and continue using it, but the goal is to exhaust her physical strength and kill her.

Instead, we should think about how to kill Bai Mu before we wear her down.

"What? Have you lost your fighting spirit?" White Curtain came to Mine's side and asked the girl with pink twin tails.

"She's already dead, I don't care about this..."

"Really?" Bai Mu looked at Mine's suitcase: "I'm going back soon. I can take this with me and let the craftsman take a look. If it can be upgraded, I will bring back the upgraded Imperial Arm when I come back next time."

Mine was somewhat tempted by the White Curtain's suggestion. She didn't need to fight much anymore, so it wouldn't matter if she didn't have her Imperial Arms for a while.

She wasn't afraid that Bai Mu would take her Imperial Arms and fly away, since Bai Mu already had someone better.

“I want to find that craftsman myself.” Mine finally shook her head. She was a little worried that after Bai Mu finished this, they wouldn’t have much interaction anymore.

She wouldn't have cared so much before, but Bai Mu's life is just too rich, as can be seen from the photos recorded in that camera.

She had gotten what she wanted after the revolutionary army's victory, but she was finding it hard to adjust to the peaceful life she had been living for the past few months.

Perhaps it was because his days as an assassin were too tense and exciting.

After those days ended, the lives of the rich seemed to become just so-so; after going shopping so often, they didn't really want to go out anymore.

She wasn't interested in the fancy tricks that the wealthy people of the former empire played. If she really learned from those people, wouldn't all her past efforts be tarnished?

The more peaceful her daily life became, the more she wanted to find some excitement, at least some harmless excitement every now and then.
