Dream Travel

Chapter 344 Attracting him over

“That’s about enough. Let’s prepare to ambush.” Bai Mu said to the somewhat astonished Lexenbra, the fragment of the primordial demon, who hesitated for a while.

“I think… well, I think we can wait a little longer.”

"What are you waiting for? I've been feeding you for so long, you don't still think we can't beat you, do you?"

"I was worried you wouldn't be able to beat them," Luxembla said, trying to justify himself.

Although the demon with its own power in this alternate dream is not the original body, who knows what the original body might do?

His memory loss is too severe; he only knows the basic abilities of his original body and very little about other aspects.

"If we don't fight, we'll never win. Hurry up and prepare. You've been eating too well lately; it's time to get to work."

Lexenbra reluctantly began to prepare, still somewhat intimidated by the existence related to his own body.

But since Bai Mu had already forcefully issued the order, he had no choice but to obey.

As for how to attract the being related to himself, it's not difficult; he has consumed quite a few soul fragments of local demons during this time.

Although it lacks the original body's memories, it has also gained a lot of new knowledge related to demons.

Through this knowledge, he can attract another being with physical power. Without these methods, he can only attract others by amplifying his own presence.

Both methods are acceptable, but the former is more effective.

Lexenberg glanced at the white curtain: "Use your blood. Your blood combined with my power can perform a precise 'summoning'."

There is no Luxembra in this world, unless the other party is suicidal, so what is summoned through his power is another demon with his power.

Even if that demon is a local demon from the real world, the fact that it can be sensed by the fragments of Luxembra means that it has been endowed with the characteristics of a native demon.

Since it possesses the characteristics of a native demon, the summoning of demonic script becomes useful.

Demon's Territory.

One of the foreign demons paused slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

"What's wrong?" The demon beside him noticed his companion's unusual behavior and immediately asked.

"It feels like something is calling me," the demon said hesitantly, the feeling growing stronger as time went on.

"You didn't get infected, did you?"

"No, it's a summons, damn it..." the demon said, his expression furious. This summons was a strong provocation.

What made him even more unable to suppress his impulse was the strange attraction of the summoning location, which was like someone impersonating his father scolding him in a fatherly tone.

If he were deceived, he might actually start to believe the other person was his father. However, he knew very well that his power-giver, Luxembra, could not possibly be here.

However, the power that summoned him contained Luxembra's 'request'.

Isn't this a provocation?

However, this power cannot be faked, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a strong urge to go there.

"Damn it, no, I have to go check this out." With one hand covering his forehead, the foreign demon's expression grew increasingly ferocious.

He received power from Luxembra and became a native demon, but this did not come without a price.

He was completely unable to disobey Luxembla's orders, even after arriving in another dream.

Of course, he had no intention of going against Luxembla's ideas.

The fact that someone here was summoning him with the power of Luxembra and ordering him around with a related identity was unacceptable to him.

"Are you alright? This is clearly a human trap!"

"Of course I know, but I have to go."

What they're doing in the Demon Territory right now is keeping an eye on the Dream Source. As for what comes next, they've already planned it out and will complete it when the conditions are right.

I just didn't expect such an accident to happen at this time.

The demon possessing the power of Luxembra was affected in some way, and the foreign demon beside him looked somewhat worried.

However, his companion's behavior made him realize that simply stopping him was useless.

"Then bring more people."

"Yes, I will make that bastard suffer a terrible death!" The foreign demon's expression was sinister.

They also have influence in the Demon Territory, after all, the Origin of Otherworldly Dreams itself has a great advantage, and the Demon Territory is the origin of the Origin of Otherworldly Dreams.

Even with a demon lord here, the local demon lord, with the help of foreign demons, cannot suppress the development of the Otherworld Source.

The Demon Lord can do other things here without being affected, but when it comes to actions against the Source of Another Dream, the Demon Lord always encounters unexpected problems.

The foreign demons also took advantage of this to cause the local demon lords a lot of losses.

However, considering that the Source of Another Dream is not the true 'protagonist' and the bonus from the starting point is not unlimited, they must keep a close eye on the Source of Another Dream.

Otherwise, the source of the dream might actually be taken hostage by the local demon lord.

Therefore, when this foreign demon responds to the summons, it cannot take away too many foreign demons, but it will be enough local demons.

They recruited many local mid-level demons in the demon territory. Many of these demons were suppressed by the demon lord and were unable to advance to high-level demons.

But the invading demons presented them with an opportunity...

If they were to go to a reality where human souls could be harvested at will, they could attempt to rise to the rank of high-ranking demons, or even to the level of a demon grand duke.

The conditions promised by the foreign demons easily attracted the local demons. For this reason, the demon lord of the demon territory even fought with them, and the two sides were evenly matched.

At least on the surface, it's a 50/50 split.

"Follow him, and make sure he doesn't encounter any accidents." After the foreign demon left, the remaining foreign demons made these arrangements.

They are not the original forms of the original demons; some of them received gifts from the original demons and possessed the characteristics and powers of the original demons.

Others were directly infused with a portion of the will of the primal demon. This portion of the primal demon was stronger and resembled a clone of the primal demon.

In this plan, these primal demons belong to the leaders.

The foreign demons possessing the power of Luxembra belong to the former category; they were merely granted that power.

On one hand, Luxembra is not as powerful as other demons, and on the other hand, the other party is unwilling to do so.

Even so, the foreign demons in this strange hell are all at least mid-level demons on average.

Lower-ranking demons are of little use here; there are plenty of lower-ranking demons in Hell. As long as you have the power of a mid-ranking demon, you can easily grab a whole bunch of lower-ranking demons.

"It doesn't seem to be working." Bai Mu looked at the demon pattern on the ground. He had already lost a lot of blood, but the demon pattern hadn't attracted the target. Instead, it had attracted a lot of local demons.

All those demons were cut down by the White Curtain.

Putting everything else aside, after killing so many demons in this hellish place, Bai Mu has become increasingly adept at dealing with demons.

“It will take time; this isn’t an instant summon,” Luxembla shouted. “Let’s wait.”

The white curtain summoned new phantoms, which were not Awakened Ones, but humans.

Their combat capabilities are among the strongest of humans, and they are also skilled in using modern weaponry.

The weapons and ammunition stored in Wild Hell II were intended for these people.

White Curtain couldn't use it all by himself; the firearms made of hell metal were also powerful enough to kill demons, plus they were heavy weapons.

Even mid-level demons can deal damage, making them more suitable for clearing out mobs.

Bai Mu didn't expect the summoned target to arrive alone; he was prepared for them to come in a team.

To this end, the White Curtain even made preparations in advance, summoning Esdeath once and explaining the situation to her beforehand.

When she is summoned again, that will be the time to unleash her ultimate move.

“They’ve arrived.” Lexenberg suddenly spoke, as he was already able to sense the location of the demons who possessed their own power.

As the other party approached, the sensation grew stronger, and as for the other party's situation, Lexenberg was somewhat disdainful.

Although the other party has obtained the power of the primal demon, he obviously does not understand primal demons well enough, unlike him who is a born primal demon.

The most obvious difference is that the other person seems unable to accurately perceive him, while he can perceive the other person.

However, as the two sides come closer, even the most oblivious alien demon should be able to detect him by now.

“That is…” As they approached the location of the summoning, Engel looked puzzled, but then his puzzlement turned into ecstasy.

Although the person who summoned him insulted him using the identity of the primal demon Luxembra, he decided to forgive them as he approached the location of the summoning.

He sensed fragments of the original demon, and these demonic fragments seemed to be completely detached from the original body.

This means that if he can defeat the summoner and obtain this fragment, he can permanently acquire this power.

Unlike the power we have now, which comes from the gift of Luxembra, the other party can reclaim this power.

"Hahaha, that's great, hurry up—" Engel laughed and sped up.

The reason he was chosen by Lexenberg is that he had a great deal of knowledge about the power of demons and had performed many demon sacrifices.

Having obtained that fragment, and then sacrificing it to himself, he became a true primordial demon.

Engel's speed stopped as he approached the summoning location.

He glanced around and cast a detection spell. The spreading detection spell detected a vibrant individual—a human.

The human's weapon had fragments of Luxembla.

A human who wields demonic power? That's what's worth paying attention to. If there were other ambushes here, Engel would think it was perfectly normal.

Traps are common, and ambushes are normal.

But if there are only a few people here, then that's a big problem.

This doesn't look like a trap, but rather a declaration of war.

"You want the power within me? You've got guts."

Engel led his men to fight, and he was well aware of the reality of the situation.

Demons and other beings from other dreams have been purging human geniuses in reality. After all, those beings from other dreams possess high-level power and are well aware of how troublesome such beings can be once they grow up.

The sooner we eliminate them, the less trouble they will cause in the future. Occasionally, some human powerhouses will appear with rapid growth, but these beings will be targeted by the dreamers and won't last long.

In the real world, apart from certain beings with special weapons, the highest-ranking demons in this hellish realm are the ones with the strongest combat power.

Such a reality is very rare among humans.

There's no way they could possibly appear here. If they did, they could forget about going back.

He now appears to have encountered a powerful human being in reality. Since he has sided with the demons, he naturally intends to eliminate such an existence.

Engel was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't encountered the other person in reality. If he had, he could have killed the other person and captured their soul at the same time.

As for otherworldly dreams, the souls of outsiders are too difficult to preserve. Even if they could be temporarily preserved, it would be impossible for him to take them out.

If he takes them out and can't come back immediately, it's equivalent to the mission failing, and he can't withstand the wrath of the primordial demon.

"That's a lot. This guy brought over three hundred local demons?" White Curtain confirmed the number of enemies using the Dream-Eroding Imperial Arm.

"Are demons in hell really that easy to feed? It's such a barren place, yet there are so many demons. Don't they eat?"

"...I'm not really going to eat it. What I mean is, it's fine whether I eat it or not." Lexenberg's voice came from the Dream Eater Greatsword.

The scarcity of resources in Hell does not equate to a scarcity of demons.

"Although not eating for a long time can weaken a demon, there are no demons that starve to death. Only demons whose strength has diminished to the point that they can no longer sustain themselves die."

Lexenberg explained the reason.

"But demons that die like that are utter trash. Normal demons can just go to the rivers of hell and fish out some remnants of their souls to stay normal."

"Speaking of which, I have never seen the rivers of hell." Bai Mu thought for a moment, having killed many demons and seen hell lava.

But I've never actually seen the River of Hell. As for replenishing the water source, it's obtained from the supply station.

"Many rivers in hell are underground rivers; you can dig a well."

"This is possible?" Bai Mu scratched the ground with his weapon. The ground in Hell was very dry and solid. This kind of ground didn't look like the kind of place where you could dig a well and find something.

"Of course you can. After you deal with that inferior product that I have power over, you can give it a try."

"Let's try it later, get ready to fight!" Bai Mu stared at the place where Engel had arrived.

Although the more than three hundred demons brought by the other side only had simple armor, they were well-equipped compared to the demons roaming the wilderness.

Although the armor looked like it was made of hellrock, it was at least protected by a layer of hellmetal.

Although the weapon in his hand was also made of hellrock, the hellmetal on it was connected in lines instead of being randomly embedded, which at least showed some skill.

"Make your move!" Before Engel could speak, Bai Mu gave the order.

The human phantoms he summoned immediately opened fire.

Rockets and grenades were hurled at the demon, interspersed with bursts of machine gun fire.

If it weren't for the limited space, Bai Mu would really like to bring over a few cannons from the camp to use.

However, these weapons were sufficient, and under the heavy firepower, a large number of the demons brought by Engel fell.

"Get out of here! Damn it!" Engel roared angrily.

Modern firearms are quite lethal to demons, and even lower-ranking demons with shields cannot completely block them.

Engel blocked a incoming bullet and reached out to rub the deformed bullet.

The weapons used by humans can only be described as luxurious; these bullets are all refined hell metal.

No wonder it's so lethal; the demons he brought are all capable fighters, and he wouldn't even look at those that aren't.

If the ammunition used by the White Curtain side contained Hellmetal, it wouldn't have caused such heavy losses in a single encounter.

As Engel charged, he unleashed a demonic spell, creating a small cloud of fire in the sky, from which a rain of fire pelted the firing positions on the other side of the white curtain.

The phantoms that were maintaining their firepower immediately ceased their attack and scattered in all directions.

However, as humans, they were not fast, and even with their strong reaction abilities, they still couldn't avoid the fire rain's attacks.

After being hit by the fire rain, they couldn't help but scream in pain and struggled to run out of the fire rain's range.

The flames on their bodies burned for a while before going out, and all the phantoms that were drenched in the fire rain were listless and their combat abilities were greatly reduced.

The phantoms' constitution allows them to avoid damage, but their mental state will rapidly decline after being injured.

In severe cases, it can have a significant impact on combat effectiveness.

The surviving phantoms were actually quite relieved; it was fortunate they were dead, otherwise they would certainly have been doomed.

"This is amazing!" The White Curtain's Spiritual Pivot locked onto Engel.

"Just a spell to clear out the mobs," Luxembla scoffed.

That rain of fire is very lethal to ordinary people, but when used against demons, even a lower-level demon caught in the fire rain will at most just scream.

Demons all possess fire resistance. In Hell, apart from those who are born with other attributes, who among the demons can't set fire?
Bai Mu grunted in response, his gun tracking the target.

Engel stared in horror at the white curtain; when that gun was pointed at him, he felt a strong sense of threat.

The feeling of threat is a mysterious thing, but it is a real thing.

For example, if a person sees a gun pointed at them, they will feel a strong sense of crisis.

If you can't see it, then whether you can find it depends on how sharp your senses are.

Now, not only is Bai Mu pointing a gun at him directly, but his murderous intent is also particularly strong, making Engel feel even more threatened.

Engel tried to speed up to avoid being locked on by the white curtain, but failed several times.

Engel decisively abandoned the charge and, at that very moment, White Curtain fired his gun.

Lucy Ella released all the energy she had accumulated from eating, along with the energy that White Curtain had been using to charge the weapon crates.

The violent lightning strikes ripped up the ground around him, and the area where the white curtain was located clearly sank.

"Aaaaah—" Engel roared, he hadn't expected the white curtain to launch such an attack in a single encounter.

The white curtain's attack completely anticipated all his actions, leaving him no choice but to defend against it with all his might.

An explosion accompanied by lightning engulfed Engel.

Bai Mu frowned slightly. The explosion was not the expected result because the shot had not penetrated the target.
