Chapter 380 The Nameless Demon
"Hahahaha! What kind of demon duke is he? He's so weak! Kill him!" Luxembla's arrogance grew.

He thought he was a master, but it turned out that this master was not as good as Bai Mu. While being surprised by the speed at which Bai Mu became stronger, Lexenberg also became very curious.

How exactly did Bai Mu become so strong? Bai Mu was definitely not like this when fighting the Demon Lord, but at this time, Bai Mu's strength has increased too much.

Doubled? No, no, no. Doubling attributes does not mean doubling your actual combat strength. Your actual combat strength will increase several times over at most!
As numerical values ​​increase, they undergo a qualitative change, and in a contest, this qualitative change can crush the quantity.

The higher the value that triggers a qualitative change, the greater the quantity that can be crushed.

Therefore, in Lexenberg's view, the combat strength that White Curtain is currently demonstrating has improved far too much.

He estimated that the current White Curtain could chase and slash the Demon Lord, and if he used some special power, the Demon Lord would eventually be killed while chasing him.

It's not that the Demon Grand Duke's projection is too weak, it's that the white screen has become too strong.

The rising demon conjured a flaming giant sword and engaged in a fierce battle with the white curtain.

His fighting style is much more diverse than that of the demon lord. Melee combat does not seem to be this demon's forte; his demonic spells are endless.

But Bai Mu was completely indifferent to those demonic spells. He would just slash at anything he could cut, and if normal weapons couldn't cut through it, he would use his condensed longsword to chop it down.

The fierce battle alerted other demons in the alien realm, and a large number of them gathered, some of them restless and wanting to join the fight.

Some showed a hint of doubt, their bodies trembling as they restrained their impulses.

Finally, a demon couldn't resist the urge and charged in, but before it could even enter the battle zone, it was burned to ashes by the aftershocks of the battle.

Although the remaining demons lacked reason, they became obedient in the face of such a battle.

The fierce battle continued. Bai Mu's condensed longsword shattered the unknown demonic magic, and the demonic greatsword shattered the flaming greatsword in the demon's hand.

Before the weapon struck its target, the demon's figure blurred for a moment, disappearing from the white curtain's attack range.

Without hesitation, Bai Mu charged forward, his demonic greatsword cleaving through the demon's shield. Blood splattered from the wound and was evaporated by the hellfire.

"Enough! I don't want to fight anymore!" The projection of the Demon Duke called for a halt.

He wanted to possess a human body and share the other's name, but Bai Mu turned out to be an unexpectedly tough opponent.

If this continues, he will suffer a great loss, which does not meet his needs.

But Bai Mu showed no signs of stopping. The demon's eye twitched slightly. He knew that if he wanted to end this battle, he would have to prove something.

He proved that he could end the fight.

A pair of demonic wings unfolded, further amplifying the demon's power. A black sphere condensed in his hand, fell into the ground, cracked the earth, and erupted a pillar of pitch-black flame that blasted away the white curtain.

Adjusting his position in mid-air, the white curtain fell from the sky. The burns on his body healed rapidly as his regenerative abilities took effect, but smoldering wounds reappeared where they had healed.

His recovery ability is very strong now. The smoldering wounds were extinguished after being stretched by his recovery ability for a while because he lacked the strength to sustain them.

However, the pain of burns was much more severe than the pain of being cut by swords, and the frequent battles with demons made Bai Mu somewhat hate the flames.

Looking at the projection of the Demon Grand Duke, it was as if he was cosplaying as Karl, with several black orbs hovering above his head.

A black ball swirled between his palms. This demon did not possess the White Curtain's regenerative abilities; the wound on his chest was still clearly visible, but it had closed and was no longer bleeding.

"Continuing to fight like this will not benefit us at all; it will only result in mutual destruction. It would be better to cooperate."

"Cooperation? Can you believe in demons?" Bai Mu didn't believe in cooperation.

"It's a collaboration that doesn't require mutual trust. I'll give you demonic knowledge, and you can help me find a suitable host."

The nameless demon explained the details of the cooperation, but Bai Mu was out of the question. This guy was quite strong, and it would be better if they fought to the death.

He didn't want to crash here right now.

"I don't know anything about demons." Bai Mu planted the demon greatsword in the ground, pointing out his weakness.

"Hmm?" The nameless demon was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at the demonic greatsword.

The demon enchanting method used by White Curtain was extremely sophisticated; one who doesn't understand demonology simply couldn't use it.

"But you are now in control of a demon."

“He’s an idiot; I’m a fragment of his soul that I stole from his original body.”

"..." What is all this about? The nameless demon was truly speechless at the situation with the white curtain.

He thought Bai Mu was a master of demonic knowledge, but it turned out he was a Muggle?

He felt it was a waste to trade genuine demon knowledge with someone like that; more importantly, that person didn't know its value.

It's not impossible to fool someone who's bad, but if a Muggle like Bai Mu can so easily control the Demon Soul, then the person who gave him the knowledge of demons must be skilled in demon knowledge.

It might be some powerful demon.

However, he didn't see any suspicious demonic markings on Bai Mu's body, as demons are generally very protective of their prey.

If the White Curtain is indeed being watched by a demon and has received gifts from that demon, then the gifts will most likely contain corresponding markings.

"You can find someone who is knowledgeable about demons to analyze it; I can provide a part of it first."

"Tell me your requirements for the host body first." Bai Mu rubbed his shoulder, realizing that this nameless demon was far more powerful than the demon lord.

The demon lord's magic was not as powerful as his opponent's, and while his opponent's melee ability was relatively weak, it was actually not much different from the demon lord's.

But even more powerful magic can kill a demon lord.

"Humans would be best. I don't know much about this place. I can exchange more knowledge about demons for this information."

The nameless demon seemed quite approachable.

He desperately needs a host body, and his choice of a human is simply to escape this strange hell altogether.

"Male and female?"

"...Anything is fine." The nameless demon indicated that it didn't matter.

Bai Mu couldn't help but ask Luxenbra beside him, "Are all you demons this casual?"

"Don't misunderstand demons because of some strange demon! He's probably looking for a host because he's in a hurry to leave this place."

Luxembra was unhappy. A proper demon, even if he's looking for a host, should look for a suitable one. Who would want to find a woman as a host for no reason?

Unless such a host is like a war god, so powerful that even demons cannot refuse it.

"Then I'll help you look for it. First, give me the demon knowledge you mentioned."

"Only a part is true knowledge; the rest must correspond to the original text." The nameless demon was easy to talk to, but that didn't mean he was a fool.

The demon knowledge he provided was incomplete; this was a deposit. Only after Bai Mu met his requirements would he provide the complete parts.

As for whether this knowledge of demons contains traps, that depends on how powerful the people Bai Mu knows are.

What product from a demon doesn't have problems? If you can find the problems, then it's usable; if you can't, then it's the user's fault.

The White Curtain's method of acquiring knowledge about demons was through photography, and the nameless demon was quite curious about the camera in the White Curtain's hand.

He suddenly realized that this strange place wasn't so bad after all.

Afterwards, Bai Mu quickly left with the Demon Greatsword. Watching Bai Mu leave, the Nameless Demon frowned slightly and continued searching in this place.

This is indeed hell, but he found no authority concerning the demon lords in this hell.

Even if he was just a projection of the Demon Grand Duke, and lost his true name after the separation, he was still not someone an ordinary demon lord could easily provoke.

This area of ​​hell is too small. If he wanted to occupy a territory and become king, he could immediately become the lord of an unclaimed area of ​​hell.

Powerful demons easily gain recognition in Hell.

However, there is no corresponding sovereign authority in this hell, and he does not want to be bound to this place. But he can find the authority first, and after finding a human host and sharing a name with that human, he can use the corresponding authority.

"You don't really want to make a deal with him, do you?"

After leaving the foreign land, Lexenberg asked Bai Mu, worried that Bai Mu had lost his mind.

"It's interfering with my exploration of the alien realm. I need to find a good way to kill it... Ouch!" With a stern face, Bai Mu slammed the demon greatsword into the ground and clenched his fist in a groan.

That nameless demon seemed to be proficient in a wide variety of magic types, and I wondered what kind of magic it used to amplify pain.

After being burned by that black fire, the smoldering caused continuous damage, and Bai Mu felt like his nerves were on fire.

"Haha, that's right, what do you want to do?"

The fragment of Lexenberg's mind didn't care about the pain of the White Curtain; he was more interested in knowing how the White Curtain had killed the nameless demon.

"I'll first find a suitable host body, turn it into a puppet, and see if I can indirectly control it. If not, I'll see if the demon using the host body will become weaker."

“Isn’t this unplanned? But what you said makes sense.” Luxembra thought White Curtain was rather despicable in this respect.

The being transformed into a puppet by the weapon box can still maintain its vitality and be controlled by him. If the nameless demon really uses such a body as a host, there is indeed a possibility that it is affected by the white curtain.

As for the situation where the host body weakens, that is also a probabilistic event.

"If only we could contact her." Bai Mu shook his head. He could contact Lily here, and that person might have a better way.

Unfortunately, we can't get in touch with them, and there's a group of devils lurking outside.

"The nameless demon seems unable to see things beyond this realm."

"He might be faking it."

"It doesn't seem like it, because I can't see it either."

"..." Why didn't you say so earlier!

Lexenberg cursed under his breath and changed the subject: "My original body is calling for my soul again. I'll curse him for a while and see if I can get him back."

The fragments of Luxembla's mind were somewhat confident in the White Curtain's strength; as for the real body, it might not be impossible to put up a fight.
