Dream Travel

Chapter 363 Occupation
"What happened? Why are you so angry?"

You're provoking me!

The seemingly innocent expression on Bai Mu's face was particularly repulsive to Helrein, and the demon lord brought down his greatsword heavily.

The immense pressure and demonic power carried by this sword strike caused the earth to crack and crumble under the intense pressure, while flames erupted from the ground.

The white curtain that had been blocking the attack crashed to the ground. Breaking free from its grip on the ground, the white curtain slashed at Herrein's leg with its sword.

Unfortunately, this demon lord was not a bio-modified being, so the Dream Eater Greatsword's destructive power was quite normal. In addition, Helrein had a continuous shield defense, which made the White Curtain's attack effect not very good.

White Curtain was also helpless against the shield on Herrene's body; it wasn't a one-time use shield, so there was no issue of it being broken.

Protection is the type that will completely block damage if it can, and will directly offset part of the damage if it cannot completely block it.

It cannot be broken; as long as its own power can be maintained, it will not disappear.

This shield isn't exactly cheap; judging from how Helrein uses it, it should be considered a 'basic' application of power.

It's like having a passive protection bar; not everyone has this, but the demon lord he encountered did.

This made it very difficult for Bai Mu to kill this guy, and even the weapon box's single, super-burst attack couldn't completely cripple the demon.

Without this layer of protection, Herrean would have been severely injured, if not killed, by that attack.

"I'm genuinely curious."

Bai Mu's burns healed rapidly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood that he had been trying to expel during the fight.

The blood evaporates the moment it comes into contact with the air.

Herrean's expression calmed down. The attack on Demon Territory was a done deal, and the burglary of Demon Castle was also a fact.

He just needs to get back what he lost, but before that, he needs to take down the White Curtain.

"Sigh—" The demon lord's reaction caused Bai Mu to return to his previous fighting state, no longer uttering any more words but focusing on the battle.

The demon lord wants to kill him, so he has to find a chance to fight back...

As for escaping?

Just look at the wings on the Demon Lord and you'll know it's impossible. Bai Mu had already found an opportunity to destroy the head that the Demon Lord was carrying.

But that head was special; he never found an opportunity, and when he forced his way in, he was almost killed by Herrein.

"Damn it..." Luxenbra, hidden in the demon's body, watched the battle unfold and cursed inwardly.

If Bai Mu possesses special powers equivalent to her physical strength, then she should have a chance of winning this battle.

But now he's got no chance of winning; in the end, he'll have to rely on himself...

Instead of trying to hide his tracks, Luxembla began to widely bewitch the demons fighting in the chaos.

Beyond the white curtain, war raged, and Herreen discovered the hidden Luxenbra.

"bed bugs!"

"You dare call me a bedbug?!" Luxembla was furious.

Although he was just a fragment, as a native demon, he was at least a demon who had started as a great demon, yet he was insulted like this by a demon lord from another hell.
This was going too far, so Lexenberg directly used the power he had accumulated during this period.

Since this power would expire and be wasted if not used, he used his shadow power to absorb a large number of demon soul fragments during the blood battle, further enhancing his accumulated power.

Now is the time to cash in, if we can kill a lord who is a high-ranking demon...

That's not worth it!
Luxembla really didn't want to fight this battle, which was definitely not worth it.

First of all, they are not native to this land, and winning the bloody battle will not bring any rewards from this hellish place; instead, losing will become a reward for the enemy.

If Bai Mu could stay in this hell and become a demon lord, then winning would be a worthwhile deal, but Bai Mu doesn't want to.

"A piece of trash that manipulates people's hearts."

Helrein glanced at the demons surrounding him, then burned a large number of the weaker demons to death with a single sword strike. Only the stronger ones had a chance to make contact with him!

These demons did indeed cause him a lot of trouble, but White Curtain was also affected. However, Helrein quickly discovered that he attracted more of the demons' attention than White Curtain.

"I am your lord!!" Herrean began slaughtering the demons who had initially been seduced by the pale light, but were now driven purely by a thirst for bloodshed.

He realized that he couldn't fight the White Curtain properly without killing all these bloodthirsty demons.

Bai Mu didn't seem to have any intention of running away either, and was also killing the demons around him.

Helrein was even more satisfied with White Curtain. When rebuilding the Demon Territory, he was determined to transform White Curtain into a powerful and loyal demon.

Human blood can be used as fuel for rituals.

"It went so smoothly." The human army in the Demon Territory was somewhat surprised.

They thought it would be a tough battle, but they took over Demon Territory quite easily.

The biggest reason is that although there are many demons in the Demon Territory, there are not many foreign demons, and even the demon lord is not here.

The human faction was at a disadvantage in Hell, so when faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they acted decisively.

The reason they were able to discover the emptiness here is that they also had demon spies among them.

These kinds of demonic undercover agents are extremely rare, but each one plays a crucial role.

The human camp's conditions also prevented them from creating more demon spies.

The reason why Bai Mu was rejected when he suggested infiltrating the Demon Territory was that these rare demon spies were more important than Bai Mu.

However, it seems that the white curtain is more important now.

The demon spy risked exposing himself to pass on crucial information, and the white curtain truly lured the demon dragon to the demon territory.

While causing immense destruction to this place, it also used the bloody battle to lure away most of the demons from the Demon Territory.

This behavior is incredibly touching—it's just that there's no way to offer any help to Bai Mu at this time.

The human side has amassed a large number of demon hunters who specialize in dealing with demons. The influence of the polar night is present, but in the midst of high morale, the polar night will treat everyone equally.

However, since they are not demons, they cannot enjoy the enhancements that only demons can experience; they only have a relatively normal field of vision.

That's enough. Under the bombardment of firearms, weaker demons were simply eliminated.

Those powerful demons were not directly confronted by the humans in battle; they had tanks.

Although humans in reality started late in developing special powers, their foundation was still quite good.

After all, one can access a lot of knowledge through dreams, including knowledge about demons.

It's not like no one has ever successfully made a deal with a demon. When facing mid-level demons, the Hell Tank goes straight in; it's a tank truly imbued with hellish power.

The demonic knowledge enhancement is not very friendly to the pilot, but in return, it results in thicker armor.

Even a mid-level demon would have a hard time destroying such a tank directly, not to mention the demon hunters wearing hell metal armor.

These types of warriors are also the main force in fighting against mid-level demons.

Once the mid-level demons were restrained, all that remained was a massacre of the ordinary demons.

A large number of demons were lured to another battlefield, and the army launched a large-scale bombardment without conserving ammunition before arriving there.

This made matters worse for the already small number of demons in the demon realm.

Undeterred by the consumption of ammunition, the human army, under the bombardment of various heavy weapons, broke through the Demon Territory.

Some of the more lucid demons here also realized something was wrong.

Normally, they should be getting bigger and more numerous, but this time, the more humans fought, the more numerous they became. No, it's not that they got more numerous, but rather that their firepower became more intense.

Human support has never ceased.

The human reinforcements that followed immediately launched a bombardment. They didn't have many larger caliber cannons, but they had plenty of mortars.

Moreover, artillery support continued uninterrupted, and over time, the artillery fire from different directions became increasingly accurate.

"Everything's in chaos! Our lord will kill us!!" The foreign demon was furious as he watched the demon territory's situation change drastically.

When they were first attacked by the demon lord, their plans had not deviated much.

At least the demon lord's behavior was within their expectations, but unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn when a human appeared who attracted the demon dragon.

The human faction then seized this opportunity.

The clash between modern weaponry and demons has shrouded the Demon Territory in an even deeper crimson hue.

However, this was not what they wanted to see. Now that things had come to this, their plans were completely disrupted.

They were happy that the attack was delayed by half a month, but now that this has happened, it's an unexpected collapse.

Some alien demons attempted to interfere in the war, but the human armies that seized the opportunity to attack did not give them a chance.

After encountering an alien demon, a group of fully armed demon hunters, resembling medieval tin cans, will come to kill you.

They couldn't defeat those foreign demons one-on-one, but they could overwhelm them with sheer numbers and superior weaponry.

The remaining foreign demons were all thinking of retreating. They had the Dreamwalker's brain fluid, so retreating would be easy. The problem was, what would happen if they retreated? What would their lord say about their wrath?
We can't just summon a few native demons to save the day, can we?
That could indeed turn the tide, but the original demon would become a one-time consumable.

Foreign demons that dare to do this will first become expendable resources for the native demons.

The alien demons, having failed to intervene in the war, could only watch as their demon territory was completely conquered by the human army.

In the harsh environment of hell, the human army moved with great efficiency, and after breaking through the demon territory, the army quickly built a defensive line.

They were fending off demons that came from elsewhere.

Those demons were a scattered force, not a significant force, and posed virtually no threat to the army that was building the defensive line.

They were shot before they even got close to the defensive line. Occasionally, a mid-level demon would appear, but even a mid-level demon couldn't break through the established defensive line.

Meanwhile, the troops inside the defensive line immediately launched an attack on the Demon Castle.

As for the corpse of the demon earth dragon, although they were saddened by the way such a huge creature died, they did not delay anything and at most collected some biological materials.

The most important thing is still the Devil's Castle.

The castle was severely damaged by the impact of the demonic earth dragon, so the subsequent demolition did not take much effort.

As for the Demon Lord's treasure vault, it didn't take long to find it using modern equipment.

The protective barriers on the treasure vault were destroyed!
If it can't be blown open, it means there isn't enough explosive material treated with hellish materials.

There is no such thing as a well-preserved treasure vault here; their goal is to completely destroy the Demon Territory.

Destroy everything that can be destroyed here, then occupy this place and turn it into a brand new base, taking control of the central point of the starting point of the Otherworldly Dream Source.

The human faction's objective has never been the Demon Lord, but rather the Source of Dreams.

After the source of the alternate dream is eliminated, no matter how much trouble the demon lord causes or how powerful he becomes, it will have nothing to do with reality.

As for the sacrifices? If the original demon's plan succeeds, and a hellish landscape descends upon reality, the sacrifices will be even greater.

It's a pity they couldn't find the source of the dream that should have been so dazzling in the Demon Territory.

The intelligence that demon spies can provide is limited, and in order to avoid being exposed, they can only operate on the outskirts of the demon territory.

After all, there's a significant difference between foreign demons and local demons, and foreign demons can also recognize their own kind, so sending a demon infiltrator to infiltrate the demon territory is suicidal.

This is not about whether or not one can withstand torture and forced confessions.

In the face of magic, many forms of torture and forced confessions seem like a joke.

Demons are adept at manipulating souls. Unfortunately, the souls of foreign demons are not protected by Hell. Once captured, the demon lords don't even need to interrogate them; they can simply attack the soul directly.

With the Demon Lord injured and leaving the Demon Territory, there was no need for those undercover agents to delve into the Demon Territory to find out.

Since the source of the strange dream is not here, the human army that occupied this place did not continue to search for it, but instead continued to fortify this new base.

The demon lord can come back to fight, but the demon lord, who is already in poor condition, must first bear the risk of being focused down and killed.

"It's best not to use this thing." In the Demon Lord's treasury, an officer looked at the items placed there with a solemn expression.

What was left here was a small nuclear bomb.

This thing was brought out of a dream by a dream walker. It's a single-soldier nuclear weapon. In reality, we can't make one right now, at least not a nuclear weapon of this magnitude.

However, it is possible to bring it out of a dream, but what about the risk of it becoming a dream erosion?
The risk is indeed very high, but even the most powerful weapon will not have the original power after it becomes Dream Erosion. It will only have a very high Dream Erosion intensity within a certain range.

Even if a nuclear bomb fails to be brought out of a dream, it won't cause a massive dream eclipse in reality that's comparable to a nuclear explosion.

The larger the yield of a nuclear bomb, the lower the chance of it being pulled out.

However, there is a greater chance that this kind of 'individual weapon' will be brought out.

The problem is that many people consider this weapon to be too brain-dead, based on the parameter information obtained by the Dreamwalker in his dream.

A weapon with a blast radius greater than its range, a single-soldier weapon? Only suicide infantry would use this; its biggest advantage is its portability.
