Dream Travel

Chapter 502 Mark of Death
He will accompany Luciela, mainly to explain the follow-up operations; they had not participated in the operation meetings before.

However, the operation itself wasn't too complicated; all that was needed was to dismantle the base stations, and White Curtain handled the rest of Serafis's side.

Awakened beings like Livru and Luciela don't need to be retrieved directly. After obtaining them, they can simply speed up and head to the next location, even if they exceed the distance.

Once they go too far away, the illusions that maintain them will disappear, which is equivalent to retrieving them. Moving to other places can also attract some attention.

Because Raphael fights using a demonized body, the White Curtain can retrieve her illusions, but her physical body can only be retrieved within a certain range.

Not only that, but he also brought along the demon cannon fodder he had collected before. Some of them were a little damaged, but Atrist was good at mending them and they were still usable.

These demon dolls were also filled with demonic phantoms through white curtains.

Although it wasn't their original bodies, these controlled demons had no objections. As long as they had bodies that could move and feel killing, why ask for so much more?
White Curtain's weapon crates are filled with quite a few demons, and even more are waiting to be unleashed. Unfortunately, White Curtain usually draws lots when using those demons.

Otherwise, the demons inside could have a fight before they even got out.

The White Curtain's requirement for them was to fight to the death. If they survived after breaking through the base station, they would then join Luciela and the others to eliminate any demons they encountered.

This excessive demand pleased the summoned demons, since they were already dead anyway.

If the soul inside the weapon case is intact, it won't die a second time; at most, it will be severely injured and too weak to be summoned immediately.

Fighting to the death is not an unreasonable demand, but rather what they desire.

“Your demon factory is a little different from what I expected.” Serafis looked at some patterns being studied; they resembled demonic script, but were different from it.

“I made a special discovery in the dream world; demonic technology is not as simple as you think.” Rhaazos chuckled deeply.

They then took Serafis on a tour of some of the more core demonic technologies, as well as some special individuals that had been modified by demonic technology but had not been successfully modified.

"This is the modified body that needs your help."

"A mechanical being?" Serafis looked at the modified creature that Rhaazos had shown her, a hint of interest in her eyes.

She didn't understand demon technology, but she could tell that these demon technology creations were very powerful. Although they were unsuccessful, their bodies contained some kind of special core.

That core constantly produces powerful energy flows, but those energy flows are too violent and evil.

Seraphis only becomes interested in something because it can make even demons feel its evil energy.

However, Seraphis could tell that the things modified by the demonic technology had not been integrated with that core.

The outer mechanical shell is more like a restraint, and the evil energy is constantly affecting the shell, causing it to undergo some strange changes, with tiny blood vessels appearing.

"This thing has unlimited regenerative capacity, but the fusion of the core and the body is not perfect."

"Is it because of the materials used?" Serafis noticed the problem with the artificial demon created by this demonic technology.

The excessive mechanical structure has caused serious incompatibility with the kernel, which is forcibly modifying the mechanical parts.

“That’s true, but we can’t control them properly using flesh and blood,” Rayazos explained.

A tool is a good tool, but if it cannot be perfectly controlled, then it is not a good thing.

The core has a strong influence on flesh and blood, and can even forcibly revive corpses. This revival is not similar to the revival of necromancy, but rather a transformation.

This ability transforms corpses or living beings into another type of 'living' monster, which possesses a death-like vitality. Destroying it is extremely difficult; its unique death-like vitality keeps it in a state of rapid regeneration, and this death-like vitality is also difficult for enemies to exploit.

Once artificial demons are transformed, they become even stronger demonic monsters. To completely eliminate them, some rather demanding conditions are required.

You either shatter the monster's core, or you burn it completely or freeze it entirely.

"To make this power controllable, the modified entity needs to absorb the core, rather than being dominated by the regenerated core."

Laazos looked at Serafis. If the Blood Dragon's characteristic was 'fusion', then it could be incorporated into this research.

Even if the success rate is low, as long as you can complete one piece, this thing can deal with most enemies.

The mere existence of 'infinite regeneration' can overwhelm and kill a large number of enemies, not to mention the demonic technology on the modified demons also has a transformation effect.

It can transform vitality into driving energy; even the vitality of death is still vitality.

“I need to understand the regenerative kernel you mentioned first,” Serafis stated his request.

“Of course, no problem.” Rhaazos smiled and continued to explain the regenerative core.

This was something he had arranged for the Dreamwalkers to explore in another dream world, a world with some kind of unique mark of death.

That thing can break the boundary between life and death, but it's not a good thing; breaking the boundary between life and death comes at a price.

Furthermore, since that dream world was very dangerous, after obtaining some information about the Death Mark, Rhaazos simply destroyed the source of that dream world.

This fundamentally prevents the possibility of something from infiltrating from there.

Although the complete Mark of Death was not obtained, the existing one is sufficient for research into demonic technology.

As for the cost of using the Mark of Death, it's nothing more than accumulating some issues related to the boundaries of life and death in the entire world, such as overdrawing the world's life force and gradually turning the normal world into a world of death...

These problems didn't surface until much later, and as a demon, of course, it didn't care about them.

The Death Demon created through demonic technology is good enough as long as it works.

As Rhaazos recounted the Mark of Death, he was quite pleased with himself. He felt very lucky to have obtained the information about the Mark of Death, but it was truly a useful item.

"It works well... Hehehe, aren't you worried that this was deliberately released by creatures from the otherworld?"

Serafis was not impressed by Laazos's smugness.

"So what if it was deliberately released? I have completely destroyed the source of the alternate dream. Even if there are special beings in the alternate dream world who are paying attention to this place, they can't come over."

Without the Dream Source as a conduit, the barriers between worlds are far too heavy.

Moreover, he has been studying the Mark of Death for a long time, and he is confident that he can make good use of it.

If it works well, he wouldn't mind using the Mark of Death on himself.

"It seems I can't give you what you want, so don't even think about leaving today."

Serafis knew that the reason Rayazos was being so generous was that he was prepared to pay a price.
