Dream Travel

Chapter 366 He can't just give up his identity, can he?

The difference is huge. It's a pity that the white curtain couldn't keep up, seeing the demon puppets completely destroyed in less than half a minute.

These demon dolls were all carefully selected and kept by him, and their ability to play such a role at this time can be considered as making the best use of them.

The demon lord, whose body was pierced by lightning, was truly severely injured this time, and even his old wounds could not be suppressed.

The hellfire on his body dimmed considerably, and the shattered shadows around him reformed, burrowing into the demon lord's wounds and churning his internal organs.

However, the remaining shadow power was quickly burned away by the hellfire.

The demon lord dragged out Lexenbra.

Despite his frail physique, Luxembra refused to back down, and even as he was captured, he still grinned maliciously at the demon lord Herrein.

"Spiritual body..." Helrein was too lazy to communicate and simply burned Lexenbra's spiritual body.

He stared at the white curtain. The white curtain had already used up all its hidden tricks, so what could it do next?

The bombardment continued, some of the attacks coming from the Demon Territory. He didn't need to think about the current situation in the Demon Territory.

Because he was severely injured, Helrein could not maintain his previous attack. He had two wounds on his abdomen, one from the white curtain and the other from the lightning strike.

These two wounds are the most severe injuries.

"Come down." Looking at Helrein, Bai Mu put away the Spirit Pivot and took out new items from the weapon box.

He hung the items on his body right in front of Herrein: a pistol, a grenade, and all the holy water.

Not only that, but a new figure also appeared beside Bai Mu.

Herrein frowned slightly as he sized up the newly appeared blue-haired woman. Although Bai Mu didn't possess any special powers, the summoning from that box was quite troublesome.

He still doesn't know what kind of beings that box can summon.

The woman summoned by the white curtain does not possess any special powers such as magic.

The icy aura emanating from the other party was completely out of place in the scorching heat of the surrounding environment.

"It's really hot here." Esdeath glanced around but didn't say anything more.

When she was summoned, the white curtain's hand rested on her, and this action would affect her subsequent actions.

Clearly, the plan had changed, and she did not immediately freeze the area of ​​'Mokhabotmo'.

"Cover me up and cool him down, otherwise I'm really going to be burned to death."

"Then you're in for a lot of trouble."

"Come on!" Bai Mu said decisively. So what if he was just draining his mental energy? He could handle it!

Herrein glanced at the Demon Territory; there was no point in returning there at this point.

There's no point in going back until the White Curtain is dealt with.

Now that things had come to this, he didn't want to give up halfway. Pressing down on the wound in his abdomen, Herrean raised the demon greatsword once more.

But some attacks were faster. An iceberg came crashing down on him, but Herrene cleaved it in two with a single sword strike. Under the scorching heat of hellfire, not even a drop of moisture remained.

“It’s more difficult to use ice here.” Esdeath wasn’t particularly fond of the environment in Hell, but it didn’t affect her overall well-being much.

Her ability is ice-based, not water-based. If someone with a water-based ability cooperates with her, it will be helpful; otherwise, it won't have much of an impact.

Her current source of power is the White Curtain; all she needs to do is output damage, and all her output is accumulating power.

She didn't initiate close combat with the demon, while Bai Mu rushed forward as soon as Helrein made his move.

Esdeath has a few more things on her body.

She paid no attention to those things, and with a wave of her hand, hail fell from the sky, though the hellfire burning nearby was clearly much stronger.

The falling ice melted quickly, leaving only a few ice chunks, but that was enough. As long as her attacks continued, the ice could keep accumulating.

With the white curtain blocking Hellrein, Esdeath could focus on providing him with support without any distractions.

In order to prevent her ice from melting too quickly during combat, she had to try to change the quality of the ice, as normal quality improvement was no longer enough.

Hellfire is different from ordinary flames, while her ice is too 'ordinary'. Therefore, when attacking with ice, she tries to incorporate some of the secret techniques of the 'Mokhapadma' Imperial Arm into her attacks.

This will cause her to consume a lot more energy when releasing ice, but the White Curtain is watching over this energy consumption.

Her job is simply to provide the output.

Several dark blue ice spears pierced towards Herrein.

Hellrein didn't even glance at the attacks, though he was initially somewhat concerned about Esdeath's attacks.

He stopped caring once he discovered that the opponent's ice was too ordinary, lacking even magical power, and couldn't withstand even a fraction of the hellfire.

Without special enhancements, ice attacks are simply bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. It might work against ordinary people, but it's a pipe dream to deal with a high-ranking demon like him.

Only after the incredibly fast ice spears drew near did Helrein realize something was wrong; the hellfire burning around him had been affected.

The intensity of the flames decreased, as if they had slowed down, and not only the flames, but also the flames themselves were affected.

The ice spear didn't do much damage, not even penetrating his skin, but the unique freezing effect it brought greatly surprised him.

His slow movements were fatal to him; Bai Mu's sword tore through his defenses in close combat, and a gunshot rang out.

All the holy silver bullets in the gun were driven into the wound in his abdomen; those bullets could pose a great threat to a mid-level demon.

If a mid-level demon is hit in a vital spot, this bullet can kill it with a single shot.

However, the defenses of mid-level demons are already quite strong, making it difficult to kill them with a single shot using normal firepower.

As for the high-ranking demons, the person who gave the White Curtain these bullets didn't specify their lethality against them.

The other side probably never expected that such bullets could hit a high-ranking demon.

Under the influence of the Holy Silver Bullet, Herrene's abdominal wound began to bleed, and the wound showed signs of corrosion.

The holy seal bullet clashed violently with the demon's body; ordinary holy water and similar substances could only maintain their effect for less than a minute in the hellish environment.

However, the Holy Silver Bullet can remain effective in Hell for two to four days. The bullets that are fired into the demon's body cause Herrene great pain.

The demon lord roared as a massive icy hand reached out, a hand that also contained the same power that made him feel sluggish.

What kind of freeze is this? Hellrein was surprised and puzzled when he encountered this situation for the first time, and he looked at Esdeath.

The human spirit that he considered harmless brought him a huge surprise during his fierce battle with the White Curtain.

The holy silver bullet that had been driven into his abdomen was releasing power targeting the demon, making his power restless and unstable.

The conflict between his divine power and demonic constitution caused his wounds to fester, and he suffered excruciating abdominal pain.

However, the biggest threat was still the White Curtain. His speed had slowed down, but the White Curtain remained unaffected.

He blocked the white curtain's attack with his sword, and the flames on Helrein's body exploded, shattering the icy hand that had grabbed him.

During the explosion, Bai Mu used his condensed-state longsword to parry and withstand the impact. When he was knocked back, his face was pale, as if he was taking a great toll.

As the cold wind blew by, Helrein realized that the surrounding environment had changed drastically during his battle with the White Curtain.

Dark blue ice covered the earth, and the hellfire he left behind still burned, but a lot of ice had also accumulated in the environment.

These ice crystals bloomed in his eyes—as Esdeath consumed the power accumulated within those ice crystals, her secret technique froze the surrounding environment on a large scale.

"Hoo~" Esdeath let out a soft breath and walked towards Helrein in the gray environment.

She can normally release Mokhaptamo, but she cannot be sure if she can freeze the demon.

Freezing the opponent would be ideal right now, but Esdeath could sense that the demon's power was having a reverse effect on the freezing process.

The secret technique, which could have accumulated power and lasted for a long time, was reduced to a very short duration due to the opponent's reverse influence.

As she passed the white curtain, she noticed something unusual.

The white curtain, which should have been frozen and unresponsive to the outside world, was actually watching her from mid-air, its eyes still moving!
"?" Without figuring out how the white curtain had done it, Esdeath quickly walked to Hellrein's side.

The ice sword in his hand pierced directly into the wound in Helrein's abdomen, where the injury was most severe. Combined with the holy silver bullet fired by the white curtain, that wounded area was almost completely undefended.

The ice sword, forged from holy water, easily pierced the demon's body.

Not only that, before freezing and collapsing, Esdeath punched the holy silver grenade into Helrein's wound.

boom--

As Esdeath retreated, the erupting flames broke through the ice. The fire wave rushed towards her, instantly vaporizing the ice she had released. A box slammed down in front of her, diverting the erupting flames.

Even so, Esdeath could still feel that she had suffered severe burns, but because she was in a spiritual state, the damage did not show on her body.

Her mental state deteriorated rapidly, but she could still smell the aroma of roasting meat coming from the white curtain in front of her.

"You're quite responsible."

As soon as Esdeath finished speaking, an explosion rang out, and Helrein's body was blown in two.

The Silver Grenade is a greater threat than the Silver Bullet, and this grenade was even inserted into the body to explode.

Even with the demon lord's formidable physique, he couldn't withstand the attack. When the holy silver grenade exploded, the ice sword embedded in his body was also triggered.

The Ice Sword is a weapon formed from all the holy water and holy oil that the White Curtain gave to Esdeath.

These kinds of sacred objects have a very short duration of effect in Hell, but during that time, their effects are quite strong.

After the flames subsided, Bai Mu immediately rushed to the scene of the explosion, carrying the weapon crate.

The condensed longsword in his hand pierced through the remaining flames on Helrein's body, penetrating his head with a single strike.

The weapon case violently smashed the Dream Source Skull that had fallen to the ground.

With the head shattered, Helrein, blown in two, completely lost the ability to resist.

When dealing with the Demon Earth Dragon, he overdrawn a portion of the Demon Territory's power. The reason he didn't become weaker was because of the extra boost from the Skull of the Otherworldly Dream Source.

The skull of the Source of Another Dream was smashed, and that part of the enhancement disappeared.

The ultra-low temperature emitted by the condensed longsword broke through his power defenses, instantly freezing the Hell Lord's brain and body.

White Curtain swung the weapon box, smashing half of the Demon Lord's frozen body to pieces.

At that moment, Bai Mu felt something circling around him for a brief time before disappearing.

He didn't know what it was; it might be something related to hell and demons, but Luxembra had already been crippled.

Unable to summon the other party at this point, Bai Mu stopped caring about what it was.

"I want to learn magic too." After confirming that the demon lord was dead, Bai Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He checked the weapon case; there was a new fragment of spirit inside, which should have originated from Herrein.

But he didn't have high hopes for it; the conditions of this hellish place made it impossible for him to obtain a complete soul.

At most, it's just fragments of the soul plus some spiritual power condensed into spiritual fragments.

As for the smashed head, there was no gain. After the skull of the source of the dream was smashed, its soul directly turned into the Dream Erosion, and the weapon box did not capture anything.

"Well done, what kind of reward do you want?" Bai Mu walked up to Esdeath, pondering how to strengthen her.

Esdeath's 'ultimate move' is so useful. Although it ignores both allies and enemies, if used well, it can be a game-changer.

He was affected at the time, but he was not completely controlled while holding the condensed longsword. He was just unable to move, but he still had normal consciousness.

What he saw was a frozen image, but as Esdeath approached him, the frozen image began to move.

However, this only applies to the vicinity of Esdeath.

The Dream Erosion attribute of the condensed longsword was still exerting its power. Bai Mu estimated that if this weapon were to undergo another sublimation, he himself would be able to move even while Esdeath was 'frozen'.

"I'm not a little girl, let's talk about this later."

Esdeath looked away; the distant artillery bombardment continued, but the battlefield of the bloody battle fell into a brief calm.

A group of demons stared intently at the white curtain, as if they were looking at some ginseng fruit. This calm lasted for a short time.

The demons' breathing grew heavier and heavier.

"Kill him!" The demons, as if provoked by something, charged forward with bloodshot eyes.

They stopped fighting and focused solely on the White Curtain, as if something about it had attracted them.

“Indeed…” Bai Mu slammed down the weapon case, releasing lightning that completely destroyed the shattered skull of the Otherworldly Dream Source and the fragments of the Demon Lord’s corpse.

Bai Mu summoned the recovered Awakened beings: "Charge out!"

If the demons were fighting in chaos, Bai Mu wouldn't mind joining in, but since he's now the only target on the battlefield, he'll have to think about it.

"What did you do? Why did they turn out like this?"

Livlu used her numerous tentacles, which pierced the ground, to pierce the charging demons, but even more demons rushed forward, breaking or setting her tentacles on fire.

A look of pain crossed her face. She could ignore the vertical slashes, but she could not ignore the damage from the tearing and burning.

"Of course, we should kill their demon lord."

Bai Mu carried a weapon case on his back and gripped Herrein's greatsword. The weapon was incredibly heavy, but he was very strong and had no problem wielding it.

However, this weapon in his hands could not unleash a vast expanse of hellfire like it could in Herrein's.

"Shouldn't they elect a real 'leader'?"

"I also thought that should be the case, but now it seems that killing me will make me the lord..."

White Curtain didn't know if Hell had such a rule, but these demons were behaving insanely.

"You should prepare to die in battle."

Livlu glared fiercely at Bai Mu. Even if she couldn't die, she didn't want to die easily.

I've already been killed by the White Curtain once, and the experience of death is terrible. Who wants to experience it again?

She glanced at the other Awakened Ones; their numbers were almost half of what the White Curtain had initially summoned.

Those awakened ones were all those who died in battle before, and were not summoned by the White Curtain.

It's possible that, as Bai Mu said, it can't be summoned for a while, or it might be completely dead.

Anyway, Livlu doesn't want to experience the feeling of death again.

Give me your demonic aura!

"Sigh... I'm almost completely drained." Bai Mu sighed and transmitted his demonic energy to the Awakened Ones present through the connection maintained by the weapon box.

Although that's what he said, he swung his weapon very decisively.

Herreon's greatsword is a true greatsword, and that demon lord is even larger than Lexenbra.

Although the giant sword used by the opponent was not an exaggerated three meters long, the weapon, including the hilt, was still more than two meters long.

This weapon, which can be used directly as a door panel, is a one-handed sword in the hands of the demon lord.

When Bai Mu held this weapon, he felt that the hilt was too thick and didn't fit his hand well.

When fighting Helrein and being slashed by this sword, Bai Mu felt like he was being hammered into a nail.

Every time this sword strikes, he suffers a heavy blow. Without strong enough regenerative abilities, the internal injuries from the blows alone could kill him.

It can only be said that recovery ability is still very important. Even when facing an attack that can kill instantly, recovery ability is not as good as stronger defense, but recovery ability can clear up the minor damage accumulated in the battle.

Those minor injuries accumulate and eventually become serious injuries.

Herrean lacked the White Veil's regenerative abilities, so the accumulated injuries became his fatal weakness.

As the giant sword slashed through the air, several demons that lunged at it were cut in half at the waist, their cuts charred black.

The White Curtain cannot fully utilize the demon's weapons, but demons struck by these weapons will still suffer minor damage from Hellfire.

However, there were too many demons around him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through. On the contrary, there were more and more demons around him.

Even Bai Mu suspected that Helrein might have some kind of 'revenge' passive skill.

Otherwise, how could the demons of the Demon Territory be so insane? They are insane, and Bai Mu doesn't care, but the demons are only insane towards him, so Bai Mu cares a lot!

The army that occupied the Demon Territory discovered a suddenly collapsed area where they found a damaged stone seat.

After consulting experts who specialize in dealing with demons, they finally determined what this thing was.

The stone pedestal is a symbol of the demon lord's 'power' in the demon realm. The stone tablet is not important; what matters is the demon lord.

The fact that this thing is now damaged most likely means that the Demon Lord of the Demon Territory is dead.

Surely the demon lord couldn't have given up his lordship, could he?
So what exactly happened? Did that 6642 really kill the Demon Lord?
