Dream Travel

Chapter 358 You Don't Deserve to Be Hunted Down
"I am Herrene! And you will be one of my capable and loyal subordinates!"

Ignoring his own wounds, the demon lord held his greatsword to the neck of a demon.

This demon was one of the most powerful demons he had ever encountered, with the potential to become a high-level demon. Given his poor condition, he might have actually lost the battle if it had been before.

However, when the opponent suddenly challenged him, he had already obtained the Skull of the Otherworldly Dream Source and received more bonuses, so he was defeated.

"...Yes, I will be your most loyal subordinate, and I will offer you my true name—" The defeated demon lowered his head as he looked at the murderous intent revealed by Helrein.

"Hahahaha!" The demon lord laughed wildly.

The Skull of the Source of Another Dream truly brought him a pleasant surprise; he received such a generous gift right after acquiring the item.

Of course, he didn't doubt his own abilities; it was just that the Skull of the Source of Another Dream made him feel that his luck had improved.

Subduing a demon is not difficult; what is difficult is that the demon is willing to offer its true name.

Hellrein was naturally delighted to have found a demon who was willing to offer his true name and possessed great potential.

But before the other party could reveal their real name, the unease he had felt earlier resurfaced.

Helrein looked in one direction of the demon territory, and demon wings spread out as he took flight. Some demon birds screeched and charged toward him.

Normally, these demon birds would never dare to provoke him, but under the influence of the polar night, the demon birds also became crazy and ferocious.

"Get out of my way." Helrein unleashed flames that burned all the demon birds to death, then looked at the source of the unease, his eyes widening slightly.

"No matter who you are! You're courting death!!!" An angry roar rose from the sky, and he saw the source of his unease.

A huge demonic creature was chasing after a car; in Hell, it was a demonic creature known as an earth dragon.

These creatures abhor light, so they never appear on the ground during the polar day and only roam in the dark, sunless lower levels of hell.

Lower-level demons like cave-dwelling demons are among the food sources for earth dragons, and it's not surprising that earth dragons, which hate light, are active during the polar night... just kidding!

This thing prefers the damp environment of the lower levels of Hell to the dry, hot environment of the surface.

Herrean quickly realized the reason for the appearance of the earth dragon, which was most likely due to the combination of the polar night and the hellish blood rain.

Otherwise, such enormous demonic creatures would rarely appear on the surface of Hell, and even during the polar night, the probability of encountering them would be very low.

What's even more despicable is that not only did such a creature appear, but that human dared to lure it into the demon realm.

The demon lord, consumed by murderous intent, could see the hateful face behind the white curtain; those golden eyes glowed faintly in the polar night—a sight worth collecting…

The other party did not notice him. Helrein leaped down from the sky, determined to make this human pay the price.

The demonic earth dragon has arrived in the demon territory, and this enormous demonic creature will bring great losses and destruction to the demon territory.

This creature lives in the lower levels of hell, which many demons look down upon, but its strength is comparable to that of high-ranking demons.

In terms of destructive power, it is even stronger than high-ranking demons; what the demon earth dragon lacks is the intelligence of a demon.

In addition, this creature hates light and has a violent temperament, making it unsuitable to be captured as a pet.

However, some demons use even greater force to control demon dragons and dig demon dungeons in Hell.

However, Herrean does not belong to this type of demon lord.

Helrein descended from the sky with incredible speed. By the time Bai Mu spotted him, it was too late to dodge. He turned his gun and fired a shot at Helrein.

Seeing the lightning attack that was about to strike, Helrein waved his hand and caught the attack from the white curtain. The lightning exploded, and a few traces of lightning remained on his hand, emitting a faint blue smoke.

"Hmph..." With a cold snort, Herrein swung the greatsword in his hand. The greatsword he used was also made of hell metal, but it had demonic script on its blade, making it a high-grade weapon.

The demonic flames he unleashed were transformed into even stronger hellfire through the sword, and waves of fire ignited in front of the white curtain.

Lucy Ella, who was driving, turned the car around, filled with dread about the hellfire; she had no desire to touch that flame.

Just by feeling the temperature, she felt hot all over.

This kind of heat has nothing to do with the heat of excitement; it's a kind of heat that makes her feel very uncomfortable and painful.

"Where did this demon come from? It's so strong!"

Bai Mu glanced at the demonic earth dragons chasing behind him; now he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

However, his Wild Hell II is not a weak vehicle; with enough fuel, it is still quite powerful.

After Lucy Aila turned the car around, the demons that had been intercepting her were chasing after her.

“That guy is very likely the demon lord here,” Luxembra said gravely.

To become a demon lord, one must be at least a high-ranking demon.

“I think he’s injured, and it looks pretty serious.”

"You're not planning to kill him, are you? Don't be ridiculous! You've already attracted that giant bug here, you'd better run!"

Lexenbra advised White Curtain that an injured demon lord is still a demon lord. If White Curtain were several times stronger and not a pure physical attacker, then he wouldn't be giving too much advice.

The problem is that Bai Mu is a physical attacker, and people might mistake him for a mage because he frequently uses electricity. But without the weapon case, Bai Mu is a complete mage.

"He won't let us run." Bai Mu pulled out a rocket and fired it at the pursuing demon.

Before the rocket could even make contact with the demon, it was detonated by a fireball that the demon casually tossed out.

The demon lord rushed out of the explosion and was sniped by Bai Mu's lightning, but the result of this shot was the same as before, as the demon lord easily blocked it.

"What do we do next?" Lucyella, who was driving, shouted to the white curtain.

"Continue towards the Demon Territory!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Luciela said, somewhat annoyed.

"I didn't expect the demon lord to show up here directly. Since he's a lord, shouldn't he stay in the castle, wait for his subordinates to report, and then send other demons to deal with me first?"

Bai Mu was also quite helpless about this situation. He didn't plan to rush into the demon territory, but instead planned to lure the demon creature there and then turn around and run away.

As for whether this demonic creature will continue to pursue him, that's definitely not the case; he has already found a way.

This demonic creature hates light. Once you're close enough to the demon's territory, throw a few flashbangs in that direction. The bright light will change the demonic creature's trajectory.

Moreover, flashbangs have a significant effect on those demons during the polar night.

After that, the demon lord will be too busy to take care of himself, and he just needs to find a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to make his move.

The demon lord just left??

"You idiot! This is hell, full of demons, not those fat, stupid noble bastards!"

Lexenbra couldn't help but curse, it was clear that White Curtain had some misunderstanding about the demon lord of hell.

In Hell, demon lords are earned through battle, not through noble bloodlines or nepotism.

A demon lord may lack the ability to rule, but every demon lord is invincible!
"That depends on which one you care about more."

Bai Mu pulled out several flashbangs and threw them forcefully. The flashbangs exploded with intense light, instantly blinding some of the demons watching the scene.

During the polar night, a demon can reduce the darkness of the night as long as its bloodlust is high, but this reduction is not a reduction in the acquisition of light.

Rather, it was a reduction caused by the influence of hellish power; after an excessively intense flash of light, the demons were affected.

However, the polar night in Hell was still formidable. Even though these flashbangs used Hellmetal, they did not achieve the desired effect when they exploded, and the light they produced was greatly weakened.

No matter how much it's weakened, it's still very attractive to demonic creatures.

The enormous hell worm rumbled and changed direction.

The demon lord chasing the white curtain had a terrifying expression as he swung his sword to unleash a wall of hellfire to intercept the demon earth dragon.

Upon touching the burning hellfire, the demonic earth dragon let out its first howl.

The sound was extremely shrill, making Bai Mu feel like his brain was about to explode.

The demonic earth dragon then broke through the wall of fire burning in the hellfire and charged towards the demon territory with even greater ferocity.

The demon lord stared intently at the white curtain: "Kill him!"

He issued a kill order to the demons of the Demon Territory, while the Demon Lord immediately withdrew to the Demon Territory to stop the Demon Earth Dragon.

He could disregard the Demon Lords and focus solely on killing White Curtain, but White Curtain was clearly not worth it; this human could be killed later.

However, once the Demon Realm is destroyed, rebuilding it will not be so easy.

Especially during the polar night, the destruction of the demon territory was tantamount to telling the demons that he was no longer so weak that he couldn't even protect his own territory.

Then a whole bunch of demons will come to challenge him, and violent deterrence won't work anymore.

Moreover, those humans might take the opportunity to attack. What about the effects of the polar night? Look at how the White Curtain is now; it can also enjoy the positive effects of the polar night.

“That’s a good lord,” White Curtain said to Lexenberg, watching the retreating demon lord.

"He took on the most dangerous task, letting his underlings hunt me down. He really is..."

"Stop your fake sentimentality. He just thinks the Demon Territory is more important. Compared to the Demon Territory, you don't deserve to be hunted down by him."

"That's perfect." Bai Mu was also happy to hear this, but he was afraid that this demon lord was inhuman and would stubbornly pursue him relentlessly.

That's real trouble. Now that the other side is paying more attention to the Demon Territory, it's much more advantageous for him.

Bai Mu pondered whether he could find another demonic creature like this somewhere else. Such a large demon territory couldn't be entertained by just one demonic creature.

One more, please.

But Bai Mu has been running all the way and hasn't encountered a second similar demonic creature. This creature seems to be quite rare in Hell.
