Dream Travel

Chapter 495 Trial
“I can now clear out several demon territories nearby, but doing so would make other demons take precautions in advance. Let’s deal with the demons outside that we can handle first.”

Serafis stretched and gave the white screen a seductive smile: "This body is my projection, would you like to try it?"

"No." Bai Mu said without hesitation; he had absolutely no interest in a person who was invisible.

Even though Serafis's looks, figure, and the unique ability to change size at will can indeed arouse the interest of the opposite sex to varying degrees.

But let's forget about messing with a projection.

You must not do what the devil wants, otherwise you will easily be manipulated by the devil.

Even the demons he controls will, at various times, take the side of the White Curtain and try to manipulate his mentality.

After all, what the devil considers a good thing may not be a good thing for people whose values ​​differ from the devil's.

But the devil's values ​​make him act without going against his conscience when he does those things.

"Then you should hurry up and reunite with my original body."

Bai Mu didn't leave immediately. He looked at Serafis with curiosity and asked, "I'm a little curious, are you still connected to the original body, or have you been separated?"

He thought of Luxembla.

"Hehehe, do you think I would make the same mistake as Lexenberg?" Serafis chuckled.

Being killed by a fragment of his own soul, Lexenberg is a disgrace among demons.

"I think it's okay..."

“Hahaha, but I am speaking to you in my true form right now.” Serafis laughed: “The story of Luxembra has already spread far and wide.”

“…Damn it! What does this have to do with me!” Lexenberg couldn’t help but jump out.

"Why should I bear the consequences of the foolish things my stupid self did?"

“But you are now Lexenbra.” Serafis looked at the demon that had appeared and a mocking expression appeared on his face: “You inherited his name, so you must bear all of this.”

Lexenbra cursed and swore. If it weren't for that damned blood pact restriction, he would have instigated White Curtain to take action against Serafis.

The Serafis before us possesses at least one-third of the true nature of a demon. Once we capture her and put her in the box, the White Curtain can reenact the tragedy of Lexenbra.

He severed the connection between this Serafis and the original body, and he didn't believe that the severed Serafis projection wouldn't want to rebel.

"Don't waste any more time. I'll take you out. Also, your disguise wasn't very good; his skills aren't up to par."

Serafis glanced at Lexenbra, the demon who was both angry and powerless.

When Serafis provoked him, he had already put a new layer of disguise on the white curtain.

When illusion magic was used on Bai Mu, Bai Mu felt a distinct difference.

Compared to this, Lexenberg's disguise is indeed rather ordinary; he uses pale light and shadow to create special visual effects.

Serafis's illusion magic made Bai Mu feel like he had a new layer of skin, which even had a certain degree of texture.

This texture prevents clipping issues when he touches objects.

The illusion magic has already achieved the effect of 'transformation'.

Compared to Serafis, Lexenberg is indeed rusty.

"I have a group of men preparing to leave; you can go out with them."

Serafis looked at the white curtain with satisfaction, its appearance transformed. Since it was hers to transform, it had to be based on the type she liked.

Not only that, she also took the opportunity to assess her current condition.

This body, created in hell, is more than just a simple projection.

Rather, it is a hellish clone, or rather, it was a projection before, but after obtaining her demonic essence, it became a hellish clone.

The hellish clone, possessing nearly half the essence of a demon, is connected to her main body. Since her main body died outside, the hellish clone, synchronized with her main body, becomes the main body.

But by then, it would be very difficult for her to leave the alien world; she would become a part of it.

The demonic essence of the Hell clone is less than half that of the original, but it can be enhanced by Hell, making the Hell clone stronger than the original!
The illusion magic she's using now, which is operated by her main body, isn't as easy to use as the Hellish clone.

White Curtain left with Serafis's minions, most of whom were artificial demons.

Because of the Dream Erosion, they could not stay here for long and frequently entered and exited the alien realm. After Bai Mu left with them, he broke away from the artificial demons.

Actually, he wanted to kill all these artificial demons as well.

Back in Ashraf, White Curtain met Serafis, whose height had returned to 1.5 meters.

"You became like this because you separated too much of your demonic essence?"

"Are you always this direct with your questions?" Serafis glanced at the white curtain. "You're being a bit inefficient."

“I think it’s alright.” He took out the Soul Stone: “Please deal with the souls inside and give them a better ‘home’.”

"Why didn't you mention this in the other world?" Serafis felt that the white curtain was a bit troublesome.

If she were to tell this story from the other side of Hell, she could easily accelerate the transformation of these souls into demons; the opportunity for humans to ascend to demonhood is rare indeed.

"I want normal handling."

"Normal treatment? Hehehe, there is no hell in this world. After a human dies, the soul will slowly dissipate. The normal treatment is to release them and let them fend for themselves."

Serafis expressed the same idea in this regard as Lexenberg.

There is no optimal solution. When an ordinary human dies, they simply die, and nothing else changes. There is no such thing as reincarnation in this world.

"Moreover, they have been transformed by hell. If they are released normally, they will not immediately dissipate, but will instead become demon spirits."

"Why is it so complicated? I'll just deliver it to the church."

The white curtain put away the soul stone.

"Get your business done quickly, I'm going to go on a killing spree!"

"You're really impatient, then let's begin."

Serafis was pleased with White Curtain's impatience.

"Then let's set off. Take my airship, and we'll stay in one room along the way."

"You're so interested in me?" Bai Mu thought it wasn't a good thing that a succubus was lusting after his body.

Serafis, however, had his own reasons.

"Your energy is too abundant; I need you to help me recover."

"This is outside the scope of the contract."

“Yes, we are partners now and we should help each other,” Serafis said with a smile. She had thought about this before and even considered trying to persuade Lily to do more.

When the two were negotiating the contract, Lily surprisingly didn't mention this part.

But Serafis believes that this is definitely not a problem that Lily failed to discover.

But no matter what, the contract has already been signed, and she can't ignore the 'convenience' it can bring her.

"What? You're going to share a room with her?" Back on the airship, Mine raised an eyebrow upon learning this. "She needs enough energy to recover."

"I could go to ordinary people, but would you be willing?"

“Demon!” Mine glared at Serafis.

Demons are no good, even those you can temporarily cooperate with.

Then something occurred to her, and she stared at Serafis suspiciously: "I've been feeling sleepy after waking up these past two days, is that because of you?"

Serafis looked at Mine with some confusion: "Although I am a demon, you can't blame all bad things on demons. Some humans are even more demonic than demons. Why don't you go after them?"

"Don't reason with a demon. You rest with Leone." White Curtain patted Mine's head, earning a glare from the pink-haired girl with twin tails.

Serafis chuckled and pulled Bai Mu back to her room. She tried to close the door, but Bai Mu stopped her, leaving it wide open.

Mine whispered to Leone, "This devil is definitely doing this on purpose."

“I know.” Leone didn’t seem surprised at all: “That’s a succubus. Of course my man is attractive.”

"..." That's not what Mine wanted to say, but Leone didn't continue the topic.

Bai Mu's actions are already quite clear; if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't be doing it behind closed doors.

Serafis's room was filled with a faint fragrance, but this fragrance was mixed with a slight smell of blood.

The taste doesn't make you feel nauseous; on the contrary, it produces a strange sense of bloodlust and excitement.

"It's getting late, let's get started."

Serafis eagerly embraced the white curtain, taking a deep breath as he inhaled the essence emanating from it.

Her abundant vital energy could captivate any succubus, and Bai Mu's constitution was very strong; blood also attracted her.

She opened her mouth to the white curtain, her sharp teeth about to bite—

"You're a bloodsucker!?"

"You can also have it sucked on other places, as long as you're not afraid of the pain."

Looking at her sharpening teeth, Bai Mu ignored her 'tempting' offer. What if it was also about sucking blood?
He stretched out his arm: "Hurry up, don't waste time."

“Let’s use a gentler approach,” Serafis smiled. “I don’t want to affect your mood; just hold me while you sleep.”

Succubi have many ways to absorb vital energy.

Bai Mu is a valuable asset in our cooperation. If she were to impress him to the point of being unable to get out of bed for the sake of momentary pleasure, it would actually disrupt her plans.

Of course, she does need to replenish a lot of high-quality essence to restore her condition.

The separated demonic essence did not disappear and would not affect her combat power, but the speed at which her power recovered did slow down after losing that part of her demonic essence.

"If that's all, then I won't hold back."

Bai Mu simply pulled Serafis into his arms. This succubus was certainly dangerous, but she could be used as a pillow when working together.

With the soft jade in his arms, the succubus dragon felt truly wonderful, but the price was that Bai Mu could sense his life force was in an abnormal state of flux.

That's when the essence of a living being is extracted, causing a loss of life force.

Serafis was utterly ruthless when extracting his life force from him.

The next day, Serafis got up lazily. He was originally less than 1.6 meters tall, but now he was taller than Bai Mu.

She smiled with satisfaction: "You are indeed very good. How about we sign a new blood pact?"

"Have I passed my probation period?"

"Did I not pass?" Serafis asked Bai Mu with a smile.

She was confident enough in her physical condition, and last night she did indeed give the white screen a 'trial run'.

There's not much to say about the result. Seeing that Bai Mu is full of energy now, as if she had just had a normal night's rest, she knows the benefits of Bai Mu being a walking fountain of energy.

Moreover, in just one night, she recovered to a height of nearly two meters, demonstrating the quality of Bai Mu's vital energy.

She didn't deliberately extract the essence from the white curtain; she simply absorbed it normally.

She can adjust her body size to deceive enemies, but when she doesn't deliberately adjust it, her size does reflect her personal condition.

This is a natural adjustment of the body, allowing her to more accurately judge certain needs. Therefore, her current body shape recovery is a result of this natural adjustment.

If this could buy White Curtain, she would definitely buy it!
Without much hesitation, she knew that if she missed out on this top-quality mobile fountain, even if she became the Lord of Hell in the future, she would still slap herself in regret after waking up.

"But you are a demon."

Do you think demons are evil?

"But most demons are not good."

Bai Mu did not directly answer Serafis's question. He had no opinion on the fact that the souls of evil people attract demons and demons torment the souls of evil people.

Evil people need evil people to grind them down, and it's even better for demons to grind down the souls of evil people. But besides being attracted to the souls of evil people, demons are also attracted to kind people.

Leading people astray and causing them to commit other bloody acts are also things that demons excel at.

White Curtain didn't believe that Serafis hadn't done this before.

However, Seraphis is now clearly a 'useful' demon.

How long will it take us to get there?

"It'll be ready this afternoon." Serafis gave Bai Mu a big kiss on the cheek.

This single gulp drained away the vital energy that could weaken an ordinary, healthy human for half a year and shorten their lifespan by several years.

Seeing that the white curtain still appeared normal, Serafis's smile became even gentler.

"Alright, now that you've almost recovered, remember to treat me to a meal when you get there; that's how you truly begin your trial period—"

Serafis was slightly taken aback: "That's all?"

"It's not easy to get me to have a meal," Bai Mu said, keeping everyone in suspense.

He can eat normally, just like a normal person. But getting him to eat his fill is another matter entirely.

Serafis wanted to extract a lot of vital energy from him, so she could first give White Curtain a greater return, especially in terms of 'food'.

"Then we can take a nap later."

Serafis didn't think White Curtain could eat much. No matter how much she could eat, she could provide an unlimited supply of both normal and abnormal food.

Unless the white curtain wants to eat something abnormal.

Afterwards, Seraphis found a place to stand in a daze, presumably using his hellish clone from the otherworld.

The white curtain didn't disturb Serafis; he went to the airship's observation window.

The airship was already far from the Great Desert, heading not to the Maple Crown Republic, but to the territory of Serafis...
