Dream Travel

Chapter 345 This can be considered a biologically modified body.

Ling Shu's attacks are primarily penetrating; even with the addition of lightning attributes, the fundamental attack type remains unchanged.

On the contrary, the addition of lightning attributes actually makes Ling Shu's attacks more penetrating.

Such a massive explosion only occurs after the attack has been blocked; otherwise, the target of the public would simply be a hole.

Even a demon cannot survive being struck by a lightning bolt with a diameter of more than half a meter.

But the explosion changed everything. Even if there was no smoke but no injuries, it shows that the attack was not entirely effective.

White Curtain attempted to see the situation inside the explosion through the Dream-Eroded Imperial Arms's clairvoyance, but the area was a mix of green and black, with residual energy directly affecting the effectiveness of the clairvoyance.

With a smirk, Bai Mu fired a few more shots, but the energy stored in the weapon box was depleted, causing the intensity of subsequent attacks to plummet.

It might hit, or it might not.

The phantoms summoned by the white curtain took advantage of the demons' momentary lapse in attention and unleashed a powerful attack.

Under the machine gun fire, hordes of demons fell like wheat blown down by the wind.

At least a third of the demons Engel brought died in the charge.

Demons possess magic, but their magic has a limited range. Outside of this effective range, demons will be attacked when they charge.

This is even with their shields protecting them; without the shields and the demons' powerful physiques, these demons would have been wiped out halfway there.

The fact that only one-third of the casualties directly demonstrates how powerful these demons are.

Otherwise, what kind of team could charge forward under heavy machine gun fire like that?
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Engel gasped for breath, with several tattered shields floating around him. These shields had absorbed most of the damage for him.

Even so, he was almost killed by Bai Mu's shot!

The demon items that could originally be reused have now become disposable.

Subsequent attacks from the White Curtain were also blocked by those broken shields.

"Is this thing really that powerful?" Bai Mu looked at the few faintly visible, broken shields and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Although the Ling Shu is not an electromagnetic cannon, an attack imbued with lightning is equivalent to being struck by lightning.

It may not be as powerful as natural lightning, but its attacks are more targeted.

"It's powerful, but how many times can he use it? Just once, a life-saving tool." Lexenberg snorted. "You can fire another shot, he's definitely dead!"

“The problem is I can’t fire a second shot.” ​​Bai Mu slung his weapon case over his shoulder and pulled out the Dream Erosion Greatsword, while Ling Shu simply removed the sniper module.

"He has no more means to save his life."

"That's pretty fair." Bai Mu looked at Engel, whose eyes were practically spitting out fury, and felt even better.

His attacks can be prepared in advance, while the opponent's life-saving items are obviously more valuable.

"Try provoking him."

“Me?” Luxembla’s voice came from the weapon.

"Hehehe—my servant, why are you so angry? You should be happy to see your master, why aren't you happy?"

Lexenberg's voice emanated from the Dream Eater Greatsword, which was also imbued with a bewitching pale light.

"..." A hint of confusion flashed in Engel's eyes; his power was given to him by Luxembla.

The fragments of Lexenberg also affected him, but due to the difference in power, he quickly regained his senses.

Instead, an even more uncontrollable rage erupted: "Just a fragment left behind by its master, and you want to replace it?! Just wait, I'll torture you properly!"

"Hehehe, and then what? Absorb me, obtain the true power of the original demon, and then... completely replace me?"

Engel's expression grew even angrier, but a hint of hesitation and attraction flashed in his eyes.

The pale light of Luxembla is still at work.

"Hahaha, now that you have an idea, why not do it? Right now you're just my dog, why not try making 'Lexenberg' your dog?"

"No, I... I won't betray my master. I'm just helping him reclaim his power—"

Engel gripped the greatsword tightly, the tattered shields around him overlapping, and charged towards the white curtain like a whirlwind.

The demons that followed also charged forward. These demons were somewhat abnormal in their emotions, as if they had been bewitched and brainwashed by Luxembra's pale light.

Faced with these fearless demons, the phantoms summoned by the white curtain paid no attention to anything else but dealing damage.

Although their poor mental state reduced the accuracy of their attacks, they were using heavy weapons, so they only needed to ensure relative accuracy.

Their mission was to use up all their ammunition and kill as many demons as possible.

Bai Mu gripped Ling Shu with one hand and unleashed a barrage of dense mental energy bullets imbued with lightning. The attacks were blocked by Engel's shield.

The firepower of Ling Shu's submachine gun mode is too weak against a shield that can block sniper fire, even if the shield has been damaged.

However, the damaged tank armor is still not something that submachine guns can easily penetrate.

As soon as the weapon was sheathed, Bai Mu's eyes turned golden as his demonic energy was unleashed.

Flames surged on the Dream Eater Greatsword as he slashed at the approaching Engel.

The tattered shield was shattered by Bai Mu's sword. Engel roared angrily and swept his greatsword, which was burning with flames.

The white curtain retreated swiftly, and the Dream Erosion Greatsword blocked the sweeping giant sword, resulting in a fierce clash between the two flames.

"You bastard...!?"

Engel stared wide-eyed at Bai Mu, who was holding a sword in one hand. Although Bai Mu's arm trembled slightly, it meant that Bai Mu's strength was no less than his.

His attack was a full-force strike; the white curtain was merely a hasty, emergency defense.

Unleashing his power, Engel repelled the white curtain with a single sword strike, then unleashed a burst of flames from his greatsword.

Wherever the flames passed, the ground melted into lava.

"I go--"

The retreating white curtain slammed the weapon case to the ground, blocking its path. The Flaming Slash struck the weapon case, and the burst of flames engulfed the white curtain.

During the explosion, black flames surrounded Bai Mu, but the shadow flames from Luxemblazone blocked the remaining flame attacks.

Looking at the greatsword engulfed in flames in Engel's hand, Bai Mu couldn't help but say, "His fire seems bigger than yours."

Feeling slighted, Luxembla roared, "What good is size! Quality is the most important thing!"

Despite saying that, the shadow flames on the Dream Eater Greatsword began to intensify.

Furthermore, a vortex of shadow power spread out from around the white curtain.
Engel, caught in this vortex, felt as if he were sinking into a quagmire, his mobility severely hampered, and his soul feeling uncomfortably pulled apart.

The white curtain inside the vortex remained unaffected, and the ground beneath his feet exploded with the burst of power.

Engel hurriedly parried with his greatsword, but the powerful impact slightly deformed his weapon, and the demonized Engel staggered back a few steps. Seeing the white curtain closing in, Engel quickly unleashed a spell, a pale light flashing.

The white curtain's attack only managed to strike a fleeting afterimage.

"Do you know how to do this?" Rubbing his eyes, Bai Mu searched for Engel's trace.

However, he soon didn't need to search anymore, as the shadow vortex released by the fragment of Lexenbra was still in effect, and Engel, who had concealed his tracks, was particularly noticeable within the vortex.

Just as the opponent raised his hand to launch a sneak attack on Bai Mu, he was repelled by the lightning shrapnel fired by Ling Shu at close range.

“I won’t!” the fragment of Luxembla answered loudly.

Engel may have used demonic magic mastered by his original self, but since he was just a fragment, it's only natural that he wouldn't.

"Useless." Bai Mu fired shots to suppress Engel while rushing forward.

The Dream Eater Greatsword struck Engel's cracked greatsword, severing the weapon made of hellfire metal.

Engel, his weapon severed, clenched his fists and clashed them together, the force of which shattered the shadow vortex released by Lexenbra.

The surrounding environment suddenly turned pitch black, and Bai Mu felt as if he were enveloped in some kind of domain.

He felt a pain in his back and was then attacked from an unknown source.

"Now, your soul is under my control!" Engel's voice rang out from all directions.

Bai Mu patted the weapon case he was carrying. The fact that he could still be attacked from behind despite the case being on his back showed that Engel's attacks were indeed abnormal.

"Is this your skill too?" Bai Mu thrust the Dream Erosion Greatsword into the ground, while Lexenbra attempted to dispel the darkness with pale light.

However, this light can only illuminate a small portion of the surrounding environment.

Engel's mocking voice rang out: "A fragment who has forgotten even how to use power, you dare to impersonate my master!"

"Damn it—" Lexenberg was starting to lose his composure. His power wasn't weak, but without the complete memories of his original body, he couldn't break through this Shadow Domain.

As soon as Engel finished speaking, several more wounds appeared on Bai Mu's body.

He noticed that the wounds appeared to have burst open from inside the body, rather than from an external attack.

The weapon crate released a wide-range lightning strike, but once the lightning struck the black area, it vanished without a trace, as if a stone had been thrown into the sea.

However, Bai Mu did not stop attacking. The continuously released lightning seemed to have no effect, but within the range of the pale light, Bai Mu noticed abnormal details.

The shadow that had disappeared beneath his feet reappeared with a faint outline.

"Unleash all your power," White Curtain swiftly ordered Lexenberg.

"You don't want your life!?"

"Shut up! Use Shadow."

The fragments of Luxembla immediately released all the power that had accumulated during this time.

The erupting shadow vortex caused the darkness enveloping the white curtain to tremble.

Although the area of ​​light provided by the Pale Light was gone, the dark areas became noticeably unstable due to the turbulence of the Shadow Vortex.

Within this instability, the white curtain clearly sensed the abnormal flow of air.

Something is swiping through the air...

He rushed towards the area with abnormal airflow, and the Dream Erosion Greatsword swept past at lightning speed, accompanied by a shrill scream.

The sound was beyond Bai Mu's expectations. How much pain must it have been to scream so miserably?

The darkness enveloping him showed slight cracks, and the white curtain, without hesitation, slashed at the cracks, completely shattering the darkness.

As the darkness dissipated, Bai Mu saw that his long, stretched shadow had returned to normal.

Engel, with a gaping wound on his chest, stared at the white curtain in astonishment, his expression somewhat bewildered: "How is this possible?"

He transformed into a shadow, inflicting damage on the white curtain through the shadow that tore it apart. If the white curtain hadn't been physically strong enough, he would have torn the other's head off from the start.

In the shadows, it would be difficult for Bai Mu to hurt him, because Bai Mu is a physical warrior.

The opponent's weapon possesses a special power derived from the fragments of Luxembra. Although the lightning released from the weapon case can affect the shadows, it is difficult to harm him.

To hurt him, you can only do so for the brief moment when part of his body solidifies during his attack.

However, the cover of shadows makes it difficult for the person being enveloped to seize the moment.

Even if someone has keen senses, their attack will have already taken effect the moment they sense it.

The shadow vortex released by the fragments of Lexenberg only disturbed his shadow, causing a slight delay in his attack.

Even if the white curtain took advantage of this delay and hit the part of his solidified body, it would not be able to seriously injure him or cause him much direct damage.

Unless the attack from the white curtain is strong enough to directly break through this layer of shadow.

However, in reality, when the white curtain's attack hit him, it caused full damage.

It wasn't absorbed by the shadow-like body at all!

The shadow body's inability to withstand physical attacks and its resistance to energy attacks seemed to have become ineffective.

With just one strike, he was unable to maintain the Shadow Domain.

"Oh... I understand." Looking at Engel's injured body, Bai Mu grinned slightly.

Engel's expression twisted; he desperately wanted to ask Bai Mu what she had come up with, but Bai Mu remained silent.

Seeing the white curtain of ferocious attacks rushing towards him, Engel wanted to use the same trick again, even though the Shadow Domain had been broken once, causing him serious damage.

But White Curtain has absolutely no chance of breaking through the Shadow Domain again.

The fragments of Lexenberg had just exhausted a great deal of power, using brute force to affect the stability of the Shadow Domain, which gave White Curtain an opportunity.

This stroke of luck will only come once.

Even if the second Shadow Domain unfolds weaker or even unstable, as long as White Curtain doesn't have the ability to break through it, White Curtain is doomed.

But this time nothing happened. The environment that was about to be covered by the Shadow Domain was stabilized by some force, which prevented the Shadow power from generating the domain.

In that instant of hesitation, Bai Mu slammed the Dream Eater Greatsword into Engel's head.

An unusually heavy blow knocked Engel to the ground, and in his dazed state, the condensed-state longsword swiftly finished him off.

"What exactly happened?" From the moment White Curtain killed Engel until the end, Lexenbra was still in a state of confusion.

"Well, we'll talk about that later." Bai Mu glanced at the Dream Erosion Greatsword in his hand.

So, demons infused with demonic power are also considered biologically modified beings...
