Dream Travel

Chapter 335 We still need to find a local one.

The white curtain's gaze swept over a demon. Although the demon had a layer of protection, its muscles were still exposed, which meant that the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arms was still effective.

If it weren't for the fact that the weapon case and the spirit core were both waiting to be upgraded, White Curtain would also have considered upgrading this Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm.

However, this can only be done later, and the Dream Erosion Crystals obtained each time are limited.

Resources should be used in a concentrated manner. The weapon box and the spirit core are far from being able to undergo a second ascension, so it's not a bad idea to ascend the Dream Erosion Imperial Arms first.

However, Bai Mu did not have high hopes for this sublimation.

After all, the enhancement of Dream Erosion items is generally based on the Dream Erosion effect, and the original function of the equipment is at most enhanced during the enhancement process.

The Dream Erosion effect is linked to the equipment itself, so the enhancement will be more obvious, just like his weapon case and Spirit Pivot.

However, these two pieces of equipment are man-made Dream Erosion equipment, crafted from Dream Erosion materials, and are different from normal Dream Erosion equipment.

The effect of the Observer's Dream Erosion equipment is biological fusion; even if it is sublimated, it only enhances the Dream Erosion effect.

It doesn't significantly affect the original effects of the Imperial Arms. If this thing is upgraded, it can see through the protection of special forces and ignore the effects of biological types.

The white curtain insisted on elevating this thing first.

Although demons are not human, they are still humanoid creatures, at least most of them are.

The Dream-Eater Imperial Arms is still quite useful, but its ability to acquire information, such as clairvoyance, isn't very precise.

While X-ray vision is less effective due to the demon's magical protection, futuristic vision can function relatively normally.

However, after using this Imperial Arms extensively, White Veil also found a way to enhance it.

However, this enhancement is not done by improving the hardware of the Dream Eater Imperial Arm, but by improving oneself.

As long as he has enough knowledge of a certain creature, he can improve the performance of the Imperial Arms... well, it's not so much improving the performance, but rather that the Imperial Arms gives him an extra 'organ'.

Based on this observation organ, he can enhance the vision and future vision effects of the Dream Eater Imperial Arm.

Because he is human, the Dream Eater Imperial Arms is most effective against humans.

The more demons you deal with, the more you understand them, and the more effective your foresight and clairvoyance become.

The most obvious improvement is that the prediction accuracy of FutureVision has increased.

As for using the Insight technique to probe the thoughts of demons, the micro-expressions of demons are quite different from those of humans. You can discern some meaning, but the meaning is not accurate.

The key is to start with future vision, predicting the demon's movements, which allows the White Curtain to be particularly effective against the demon.

Even if the predictions weren't entirely accurate, knowing their general movements increased the efficiency of White Curtain's demon-slaying efforts.

"Still needs more charging." After knocking away another demon, Bai Mu looked at the lightning that followed the demon.

If the weapon crate is pre-charged, and the demons are grouped together, he can still kill quite a few of them with a single burst of power.

Even though these demons are not weak in resistance.

As the battle progressed, the effects on the demon began to fade.

They came here because they smelled the tempting aroma and thought they'd come over to take a look.

He didn't lose his mind because of this; he just wanted to take down the human Bai Mu after discovering him.

After all, there was such a large pile of hell metal next to Bai Mu. If he could miss this person, he couldn't possibly miss those rare resources, right?
And then? Then Bai Mu made the first move, and they really got into a fight.

Now that many of their kind had been killed, their anger subsided, and the remaining demons, without even discussing it, chose to flee in unison.

If so many demons couldn't defeat this human at first, the rest of them would have an even greater chance of defeating him.

The demons weren't stupid either; aside from those who hadn't yet regained their senses, those who had calmed down started running away.

Let those who lack composure cover our retreat.

"Huh? I thought demons liked to fight to the death."

Seeing that a demon had fled, Bai Mu said in surprise. After slashing a demon to death with his greatsword burning with flames, he smashed the weapon box on the ground, and a ring of lightning spread out, paralyzing the surrounding demons for a moment.

Then, the greatsword swept out with a blade-like flaming slash, killing all the demons.

"Hey, you wasted two demons with that one sword strike!" Luxembra grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Is it easy for him to accumulate power?
"I'll give it a try, otherwise how can I unleash your power in a real battle?" Bai Mu said, taking out Ling Shu with a sniper module from the weapon case.

The white curtain aimed at the demons flying around in the sky, who were still throwing fireballs. The demons looked terrified after being targeted by the white curtain.

The evasive demon's next move is predicted by the observer's future vision, as if the opponent has actively used their brain to find the white curtain to attack.

The demon, whose head was blown off by the lightning, fell from the sky, but before it even hit the ground, Luciela bit off its body.

She was genuinely disgusted by these flying demons.

A single bite wasn't enough to quell their anger; the subsequent attacks consisted of continuous trampling.

The Awakened Ones' berserk state caused the demons, who had calmed down, to choose to flee.

While there are many powerful demons active in the wild, most of them only demonstrate an average level of skill.

This is normal for a white screen.

After Bai Mu sniped two flying demons, the remaining winged demons all ran away.

"Being able to fly is really amazing." With a slight smirk, Bai Mu put away his weapon. This time, he didn't summon a large number of Awakened Ones, so his combat consumption wasn't high.

However, they were unable to completely annihilate these demons.

"Next time there's a flying demon, let Livlu come out too." Luciela, not having returned to normal, came to the White Curtain's side and made her request.

She paused slightly after speaking, then became even more unhappy: "No, you should have come back to me sooner and killed Isley before he got away."

Livru's attack range is indeed large, but her ranged attacks are somewhat lacking compared to the Silver King Isley.

“I’ll use this one next time.” Bai Mu patted the Spirit Pivot in his hand, his gaze falling on Lahana: “Want to try this one?”

"...Can I use it?" Lahuana seemed a little confused. This weapon seemed to be bound to a specific owner, right? It seemed like it couldn't be used by someone who wasn't a suitable person.

“Normally it wouldn’t work, but you were summoned by me and are influenced by my spiritual power, so you could say that.”

Bai Mu then tossed the Ling Shu to Lahua Na.

Lafayette tried it out and found that she could use the weapon, but the lightning it emitted would affect her when she used it.

Unlike when Bai Mu used this weapon, the lightning flashing from it had no effect on him at all.

This should be the influence of the difference between the spiritual essence of Lafayette and the white curtain.

Phantom can use the Spirit Pivot, but not for extended periods.

However, Lafayette can maintain her awakened form and has exceptionally strong regenerative abilities, so it's fine to use for a short time. At most, her mental state will become weak afterward due to the damage to her phantom body. "...Why don't you get some other weapons?" Luciela took the weapon back and tossed it to White Curtain.

She didn't want to see her sister get hurt by this guy's weapon, even if it wasn't a real injury.

Lucyella's gaze shifted to the hell metal: "You've collected so many materials, why don't you make good use of them?"

"Isn't this exactly what we're going to do? Let's go to our destination."

White Curtain put away the equipment, had Luciela carry the hell metal, and then went to the place with hell lava.

Upon arriving here, the demons in the vicinity became uneasy.

What a twist of fate! Not long ago, they clashed with Bai Mu, resulting in heavy casualties, and now this guy has come chasing after them again!

"Run!" The demon licking its wounds near the hellfire lava did not hesitate and immediately chose to run away.

If it were anyone else, they would have let them experience some kind of demon, but the white curtain that arrived was even more demonic than them. No, this guy's weapon was imbued with a demon soul.

Humans who can earn the souls of demons are no longer beings that ordinary demons can deal with.

We must get a more powerful demon commander to deal with this guy and strike him hard.

As the demon that occupied the lava river fled, it planned to file a complaint.

"Sigh—is this what demons are like?" Bai Mu fired a few shots, leaving behind several demons who were slow and had difficulty moving.

"Don't lump me in with them! They are demons from a different world than me!" Luxembla shouted, defending the demons.

"If it were me, I would definitely use a teleportation spell to leave, instead of running away like this in such a pathetic way."

"You're really something. Look at this lava river. What's that? A blast furnace?" Bai Mu saw some destroyed furnaces.

Judging from the appearance, it wasn't destroyed by demons, but rather by explosives.

He realized that this place must have been used by humans to smelt iron before, and then the demons destroyed these blast furnaces.

They won't use it or leave it to the devil.

Bai Mu inspected the furnaces; they were so thoroughly destroyed that they were likely unusable.

"So what should we do with all this hell metal? You'd better think of something."

“…If you kill my original body, I’ll remember everything,” Luxembla said somewhat irritably.

He really didn't know how to refine hell metal.

"We can't just throw it in to burn, can we?" Bai Mu picked up a piece of hell metal and placed it in the lava. The thing didn't move at all inside the hell lava.

After all, even demons can bathe in it, so metal like this is even less likely to melt easily inside.

"Sigh, at this moment I miss Lily a little." Bai Mu sighed. If Lily were here, she could easily handle this problem, but now he could only stare blankly at the lava.

"Why don't you try using the power of the demon?"

“The power of the demon…we can give it a try.” Lexenberg was somewhat reluctant, mainly because the power he had collected was temporary and would be gone once used.

When the White Curtain controlled him to fight other demons, he rarely used that part of his power. Even when he did use it, it was only when he encountered a powerful demon.

After killing such a demon, you can not only recoup your investment but also make a profit.

There's no possibility of making a profit if you consume it here.

White Curtain slashed a large hole in the ground, channeling the hellfire lava into it, and he plunged his greatsword, burning with normal demonic flames, into the lava.

Luxenbra further unleashes demonic flames that affect the hellfire.

He wasn't sure if this would work, given his severely fragmented memories.

However, in his fragmented memories, demon artisans do need hellfire when processing metal, but normal hellfire is just bathwater for many demons.

With the aid of demonic power... the steady hellfire, under the influence of demonic flames, erupted like a blower, spewing out even more raging flames, and then the lava in the cave exploded.

Bai Mu quickly drew the greatsword. Although the greatsword was made of very strong material, the hell lava looked strange. If it continued to burn like this, it would be a loss if it destroyed the weapon.

"You're clumsy. Luckily, I had other preparations." Bai Mu looked at Luciela, who had returned and had already captured the demons whose legs had been broken.

Luxembla growled in dissatisfaction, "You should have said so earlier."

"If you were more powerful, you wouldn't need those demons, would you? I don't trust them anyway."

Bai Mu walked up to the demons who had been captured and brought back: "Now you have two choices. The first is to cooperate with me to dispose of these metals, and I will let you go. The second is that I will kill you."

"...We are willing to deal with these metals, but we need to heal our injuries first." The demon with the broken leg readily chose the first option.

It's not shameful. Bai Mu can control the souls of demons, so it's not unacceptable for weaker demons like them to work for him, even if Bai Mu isn't a demon.

He's not a demon, but this is hell!

"Can they be restored?" Bai Mu glanced at the broken legs of these demons. They could actually use their legs after they were reattached, though they didn't look very agile.

"Of course," the injured demon quickly replied. If this were in the human world, a demon would need to rest and recuperate properly after suffering such a serious injury.

In hell, such injuries can heal partially quickly, provided they are in the right place.

The leg was only broken, missing a little flesh, not completely gone. It can be reattached and still be usable.

They would need about ten days to half a month to fully recover, but if they wanted to avoid affecting their actions, an hour or two would be enough. However, their combat effectiveness would be reduced until they were fully recovered.

"Get to work first, or I'll slaughter you all." Bai Mu brandished his greatsword, threatening the demons.

"..." The demons limped as they began to work on the metal: "We are not demon craftsmen, we can only do preliminary processing."

As these demons spoke, they couldn't help but glance at the white curtain's greatsword, a look that irritated Lexenbra.

"You damn bugs, stop looking at me like I'm an idiot!!"

Tch—the lame demons immediately looked away, a hint of disdain in their eyes.

If someone can't even perform these basic, instinctive skills, what kind of uncultured demon is this? No wonder even their soul has been controlled by humans.

The demons poured the metal into the lava pit, using their demonic flames to further ignite the hellfire.

The hell metals began to melt, and the hell rock impurities separated from the melting metal.

The demons working wanted to slow down; if the fleeing demons managed to gather reinforcements, they might be able to seize some of the demon metal...

"If you don't deal with this before other demons come looking for you, I'll chop you all up."

White Curtain spoke again, threatening, and Lexenberg responded with a sinister, cacophony laugh.

The white curtain may be a threat, but he genuinely wants to kill these demons who look down on him.
