Dream Travel

Chapter 435 Cover Failure
"If you want the Holy Soul in my possession, then come and exchange it."

“A small number of holy souls are useless.” The demon who was talking to Serafis didn’t care about those few holy souls at all.

A few holy souls aren't that useful. If there were ten times more, they would be much more useful. But the ones we have now are basically negligible.

What he wanted was a way to obtain the Holy Soul.

"Then don't bother me." Serafis left immediately.

The demon, disguised as a human and appearing refined, was left pondering something, but in the end, he didn't think of doing anything else.

Right now, we need to get the Hellish Realm first; the rest can be done later.

As for the humans who killed Luxembra, that matter can be put aside for now.

Many demons who are interested in the White Curtain already know about it.

The demons who know about the White Curtain are all now thinking about obtaining the title of lord of the Hellish Realm, so they haven't made a move against the White Curtain yet.

Once the events in the hellish realm are over, it will be time for White Curtain to suffer.

Now that Bai Mu has come here on his own initiative, is it possible to make use of him?
Eliminating some competitors is a good thing... Hmm, let's see how it goes.

This demon doesn't think he'll be the next one to suffer, and if other primal demons do fall, there will be one less competitor.

That's a good thing.

Other primal demons who don't want trouble should learn from Serafis and leave the city of Ashraf beforehand.

Unlike other countries, the desert kingdom has a good economy, but only two main cities.

Eshra, deep within the desert; Karen, on its edge.

Both of these places have mineral deposits, while the other places, although part of the desert kingdom's territory, are difficult to develop.

The concentration of resources makes the two cities in this country particularly wealthy.

"Aren't we being too arrogant?" The next day, White Curtain and Lexenberg discussed as they prepared to commit another crime.

"Arrogant? Let me handle this. I'll slaughter the entire... cough cough, just a human city. You don't want to be bound by those useless rules, do you?"

"They can clearly be above the rules," Lexenberg said discontentedly.

“Well said, but I still have to live my life.” Bai Mu stared at the primordial demon: “Are you sure that’s the target?”

“Of course, damn it, why do you have so many Dream Erosion items?” Luxembla’s tone became even more dissatisfied.

Bai Mu went to bed late last night, not because he'd been out with women for too long. Although the blonde woman liked Bai Mu, she was still quite restrained when they were out together.

Bai Mu went to find the person whose fate was sealed, and then whispered among themselves about not doing anything good.

The next day, Bai Mu told him that he had been working on it for most of the day and had finally produced something good.

Something that is very unfriendly to demons.

White Curtain used demonic text on a special Dream Erosion item.

It's that Dream Erosion Imperial Arm that possesses bio-fusion capabilities.

After considering it last night, Bai Mu decided to use the Dream Erosion Crystal in his possession to sublimate this Imperial Arm.

Although the effect of the Imperial Arms is biological fusion, the enhanced form can also strengthen the carrier itself.

However, the main enhancement of the sublimation is the Dream Erosion attribute, and that Dream Erosion attribute is generally linked to the attributes of this Imperial Arm itself.

No matter how much it's upgraded, it only enhances the Dream Erosion attribute; the original effects won't change much.

At most, it is enhanced indirectly by the sublimation of the carrier itself.

Even so, White Curtain still chose to elevate it.

For standard Dream Erosion equipment, the high-quality Dream Erosion Crystals in his possession could easily sublimate it.

Starting from scratch, the consumption is basically ten Dream Erosion Crystals.

After the sublimation was completed, the material of this thing was also improved due to the sublimation, and its performance was indeed much better than that of normal Imperial Arms of the same type.

The performance comparison shows an increase of approximately 20%.

In any case, it won't achieve a qualitative change. In terms of farsightedness, you can see further, but in terms of perspective, you still can't see through things that you couldn't see through before.

Both future vision and insight vision rely on the user's understanding of the target to be effective.

The 20% or so enhancement to vision is negligible; the white screen has always treated this effect as if it doesn't exist.

However, aside from the enhanced effects of the Imperial Arms themselves, the most important factor is the improvement in the materials used.

As for the improvement of the Dream Erosion attribute, no matter how much it is improved, it will still revolve around biological fusion.

The only thing White Curtain has discovered so far is that this bio-fusion has no burden.

However, the fusion still needs to be performed according to the corresponding organs, because there is no longer a burden, and if needed, he can carry this Imperial Arm for a long time.

Anyway, once the burden is gone, this thing, although it is an Imperial Arm, is like one's own eyes when maintaining the state of bio-fusion.

When used in combination, it no longer has the consumption costs unique to Imperial Arms.

What additional strain could there be from using your own eyes?
The enhancement of the Dream Erosion attribute has little impact on White Curtain, since regular consumption no longer affects him.

The benefit is simply that it avoids the depletion of mental energy.

I don't have time to test what other enhancements the Dream Erosion attribute has after its sublimation.

You can try it slowly on the road later.

The main reason Bai Mu wanted to elevate this thing was to better 'enchant' it.

The enhancement of the Dream Erosion attribute generally involves not only strengthening the original attributes but also extending other functions.

After the attributes of the Dream-Eater Imperial Arms are upgraded, what kind of extended functions can it have? White Veil intends to try in terms of fusion.

Before this, this thing was more than capable of handling enchantments.

By imprinting demonic power onto the Dream Eclipse Imperial Arm with demonic script, Luxembra directly enchanted the Dream Eclipse Imperial Arm.

Then, he used this Imperial Arm to complete a biological fusion with himself.

The consciousness of Luxembla has now become an accessory to him.

Lexenberg wanted to curse at this; the White Curtain was going too far!

Using a demon as a battery is one thing, but this guy actually intends to use it as a regular demon soul.

Moreover, it's not even a legitimate way to use it.

Traditionally, the use of the Demon Soul involves the user suppressing the Demon Soul, and there is a connection between the two souls.

The White Curtain's approach is a one-sided exploitation, giving the Demon Soul no chance to retaliate.

Normally, using demonic power requires being prepared for a backlash; the user must constantly remind themselves not to be harmed by the demonic power...

They are under constant pressure, and they use the power of demons, which also gives demons the opportunity to be reborn.

The white curtain doesn't give anyone a chance from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, he couldn't resist and could only work for the white curtain without complaint.

By enchanting the Dream Eclipse Imperial Arm with his demonic power, White Veil experienced a unique visual transformation—a distinctive demonic vision. Even Luxembra, acting as its support, hadn't anticipated that the demonic enchantment would produce such a surprisingly effective result.

It must be that special biological fusion that took effect.

The white curtain allows for better sharing of his vision, and in addition to being able to communicate normally with him, Lexenbra can easily mark other demons.

But given Bai Mu's nature, if it's useful, he'll keep using it.

Lexenbra could already foresee that White Curtain would develop more enchanting functions in the area of ​​demon enchanting through his Dream Erosion equipment.

Even in future operations against demons, he will be possessed by that small Dream-Erosion Imperial Arm.

It's better to enchant it on the weapon case or the weapon itself, at least those containers are big enough that the enchantment won't feel cramped.

In the white-screen visuals, human souls overlap with bodies, while demonic souls are relatively clear.

However, he lacked experience and couldn't easily distinguish between native demons and ordinary demons.

"Since there are no problems, let's get started."

As Bai Mu spoke, he looked towards a high vantage point, but he couldn't see Mine. After searching for a while, he still couldn't find the pink-haired twin-tailed girl.

Knowing that she was acting with her master, Bai Mu wasn't too worried and decided to deal with the active primal demon first.

When Luxembra's power took effect and the shadow domain enveloped the surrounding area, the primal demon was first taken aback, then grinned maliciously: "You've fallen into a trap!—Ah!!"

The original demon, revealing its true form within the shadow realm and attempting to break through it, let out a miserable scream.

The white curtain's armor-piercing blade had already slashed into his chest, leaving the transformed demon stunned. He hadn't expected the white curtain to be so powerful.

Just like yesterday, after the combined attack breaks the shield, the burst of Hellfire can inflict great damage on the demon.

The demon gasped, its body managing to withstand the continuous damage from the hellfire.

Even Luxembla couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation: "This primal demon has very strong fire resistance."

"Then kill him." Bai Mu gave the primordial demon no chance, slashing down with his combined blades, shattering the opponent's shield into pieces.

As for the demon's magic, Luxembra has already devoured the main body, and the enchanted state has affected his performance, but he is now a fully-fledged primordial demon.

With his assistance, the primordial demon's spells were ineffective.

"Wait, we can discuss this..." The primordial demon, battered and bruised by the white curtain, cried out in desperation.

He was almost killed in less than ten seconds.

This isn't a one-on-one fight; it's a very unfair two-on-one situation.

There is a demon lurking within Bai Mu, secretly plotting against him.

And what about those primal demons he collaborated with? What happened to the promised support? He was used as bait, but those bastards didn't show up!
"Discuss? Let's go inside my trunk and discuss it!"

The surrounding shadowy domain suddenly contracted, restricting the primordial demon's movements. In the instant the demon was immobilized, Bai Mu slashed off its head.

The demon, whose body had died, had its soul taken away by the weapon box on the spot. Although it resisted slightly, that was all.

As the user of the weapon case, Bai Mu was able to kill this demon, so he could naturally suppress the opponent on a spiritual level.

Fifteen seconds later, the shadowy domain dissipated.

Bai Mu heard an unnatural gunshot.

He saw a demon's arm on fire in the distance.

The burning hellfire distorted the other person's expression. They glanced at the place filled with bewitching light, then left angrily.

Elsewhere, Kuroko swung her weapon and let out a soft sigh: "That felt so good..."

The sword made of hell metal offers a far superior user experience compared to previous Imperial Arms.

When this weapon moves, it carries hellfire, greatly increasing the destructive power of its attacks.

The demons they fought possessed special powers that could generate unique defenses that ordinary weapons couldn't penetrate.

However, weapons burning with hellfire can directly break through their shields, and even if the demons that are hit are not killed, they will be burned to death because they cannot escape the hellfire.

"They've retreated." Akame glanced at the amulet hanging on her wrist.

This item was provided by the person who created it, and its main purpose is to enable them to detect demons.

"Demons aren't as powerful as I thought," Black Eyes said softly.

“We’re not dealing with the main demons.” Akame didn’t seem careless.

The demons they are currently dealing with are not even as powerful as some dangerous species, except that compared to dangerous species, they all possess special abilities.

The white curtain quickly arrived at the meeting point, where it saw several clumps of ashes that had been burned to ash.

"Shall we go back?"

“You can’t go back. The malice surrounding you is already very strong,” the Fate Master said, looking at the white curtain.

Bai Mu wanted to deal with the demons, so she helped him. At first, she could provide enough cover, but as Bai Mu took action more often and more demons knew he was there, the cover became useless.

The only cover she could provide was through the ropes of fate, a cover provided by her own strength.

She can no longer use the ropes of fate to divert the demons' gaze from the white curtain.

She could still provide cover for Bai Mu even after he left the city, but that wasn't possible in this city.

At least for now, Bai Mu can forget about continuing to stay in hotels and go out on the streets without any disguise.

"...Just carry out normal operations, buy supplies while you fight, and leave after you're done. Anyway, you won't have to live here anymore."

The white curtain was meant to abduct the person whose fate was sealed.

The power of the person in question is perfect for protecting the house; after all, she can't go back to her original dream world anyway.

Where doesn't life revolve around? Why not go to his house?

As the effectiveness of the Life Master's cover decreased, the vigilance in Ashra began to increase.

Because someone has been committing crimes in the street repeatedly, even though the victims are all demons, demons also have the status of citizens.

Killing someone or a demon in the street is illegal!
There are many more patrols on the streets of Eshra.

Kurohime dragged a suitcase as she walked down the street with Akame, looking just like any other tourist.

Even when people come to investigate, they can't find anything wrong; they already have official identities.

White Curtain entrusted Lily to resolve their public identities, while the Bureau of Different Dreams conducted security verification.

The guarantor is Bai Mu.

Even if someone has the ability to investigate their identity through this process, they can only find legitimate information.

There was absolutely no problem with them appearing in the city of Eshra as tourists.

No one paid any attention to their shopping spree; law enforcement officers patrolling the streets glanced at them and then looked away.

Their sisterhood might be of interest to some at other times, but under the protection of their destiny master, those who might be interested in it generally won't encounter them.
