Dream Travel

Chapter 521: Fight Directly

"The target has already begun his operation. Don't rush to take action. Wait until he arrives at his location and then follow orders!"

After Bai Mu took down the surveillance personnel, the organization that was monitoring him began to take action.

Those who monitor the White Curtain are considered 'sacrificial pawns' or bait, waiting for the White Curtain to make its move so that information can be extracted from them.

This should have started much earlier, but Bai Mu was just too patient.

It wasn't until now that we actually started.

Before White Curtain made its move, they even considered provoking it.

Fortunately, their organization had other plans. Taking action against White Curtain was a last resort; they actually wanted to win White Curtain over.

"I really want to borrow her airship." On the way, Bai Mu looked at the scenery rushing past and floored the accelerator.

This vehicle is a hell vehicle, equipped with a black stone tablet, which allows it to run indefinitely, but its durability is the limitation.

However, those that run on the ground are ultimately inferior to those that fly in the sky.

After obtaining the intelligence, it will take a considerable amount of time to travel to the target location.

Due to the limitations of the times, Bai Mu was unable to issue an order and have his subordinates arrange flights directly to the destination.

"Ah ha~ that's really nice." Mine yawned slightly, looking at the scenery outside the window. The wilderness wasn't very interesting, but the car ride was a bit boring.

There are no highways in this world, so the roads are quite bumpy, and sleeping is not very comfortable.

"Be careful once you arrive at your destination."

"Don't worry." Mine took out a small box containing another Ghost Potion, which was a very strong guarantee.

If any unexpected situation arises, she will immediately use the medication.

As for Leone and the others, the effects of the Blood Demon Potion they used haven't worn off yet.

It's unclear whether this battle will prolong the effects of the Blood Demon Potion or completely deplete its effects.

"They just came straight here like that?" The headquarters of the Hidden Shadows was exposed as soon as the White Curtain arrived nearby.

Although their headquarters is located in a remote area, it has all the necessary facilities.

They also developed otherworldly dreams, and even obtained technologies from these dreams that surpassed those of this era.

A monitor is one such example.

"Wait for him to come." Inside the Shadow Organization headquarters, the prepared organization awaited the arrival of the White Curtain.

They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected the White Curtain to use such a straightforward approach... Wait a minute!
"What is that?" After the white curtain passed, subsequent surveillance footage captured some figures.

Most of them were women, ranging from young and glamorous to aloof and indifferent—there were so many types.

They all had a moment of existential doubt. When Bai Mu came here, he also brought a large group of prostitutes.
However, the speed they displayed demonstrated what it meant to be hostile.

“No, they are not normal creatures,” the Shadow Organization discovered through pre-set equipment as the phantoms summoned by the White Curtain passed through some areas.

Although those phantoms behaved no differently from normal living beings, they could still be detected by special equipment.

A false sense of health may fool some tests, but it cannot fool all of them.

Bai Mu stopped the car: "Let's stop here. We'll walk from here on."

“I see a lot of strange things. Have we been exposed?” Mine took off the 'Observer' Teigu that she was wearing.

“I assumed I was exposed when I came here, so let’s wait a bit.” Bai Mu didn’t get out of the car immediately.

When he arrived nearby, he summoned the phantoms, and then the phantoms went to fight first.

As for what the Shadow organization is thinking, White Curtain doesn't care at all. The fact that they can create something like the Banshee Queen shows that they are not a good organization.

The training of the Banshee Queen was based on the premise of the deaths of a large number of humans. What good can we expect from an organization that can do such a thing?

Just take action against an organization like that.

"He seems to want to fight us directly... Let the battle begin!!" The Shadow Organization's armed personnel immediately sprang into action.

Their original plan was to talk to Bai Mu after he arrived, hoping to win him over.

White Curtain not only has weapon cases made from materials of the Banshee Queen, but also the Maple Crown Medal, which makes his identity quite important.

If we can get him to join the organization, that would be a good thing for the organization as well.

But Bai Mu immediately rushed over and started a fight.

"Hahahaha, a bunch of trash, prepare to die!!" One of the awakened beings laughed loudly, feeling the boiling demonic energy within himself, his spirit soaring, and he opened his mouth and spat out a bunch of cylindrical stakes.

The stakes were moving very fast, but when they hit the thick wall in front of them, they only caused cracks to appear in the wall.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw this. A dozen armed men emerged from behind the cover and opened fire on him without hesitation.

"Ouch, that hurts!" The awakened one screamed as his body was pierced by the high-energy beam.

His strong body was unable to withstand those attacks.

"How stupid, Duff!" Livlu's body underwent a drastic change, reverting to her awakened form, and several tentacles pulled the screaming Duff back.

Upon seeing Livru's drastically changed form, the armed men immediately opened fire on her.

The two sides are now more than 200 meters apart, and with the terrain advantage, it won't be easy for these awakened individuals to come directly over. There are also automated turrets blocking their way; although the turrets use live ammunition, their firepower is considerable.

However, while those weapons could injure the Awakened Ones who had received additional enhancements, they could not kill them.

Their phantom-like bodies made them virtually invincible, and the enhanced demonic energy emanating from the white curtain gave them combat power surpassing that of the Abyss Warriors.

The Awakened Ones burst forth with incredible speed; their massive bodies charged forward, defying the attacks of the turrets and armed personnel.

Agatha was the fastest advancing, and her awakened form was the largest among all the awakened beings.

Her massive awakened form makes her more resilient to external attacks.

Ignoring the artillery barricades, she charged headlong into the Shadow Organization's base.

The armed personnel watching were terrified. They had seen large monsters before, but large and agile monsters were rare.

boom--

Agatha, who was about to reach the base, was engulfed by a violent explosion.

Even from a great distance, Bai Mu could see the mushroom cloud that appeared; it was a modern weapon, and its power was by no means weak.

In many works, monsters or other beings can hold down modern weapons like hammers, but that's just to show off their individual strength.

In reality, modern weapons still play a very strong role.

This powerful explosion directly halted the Awakened's attack.

Agatha, who was engulfed by the explosion, had her leg broken on the spot.

Her awakened body suffered severe damage to its lower body from the explosion, and the expression on her humanoid form remained gloomy.

Such injuries are also serious for awakened beings, but the phantom body makes up for the fact that the body is severely damaged and difficult to recover quickly.

However, the price was that the injury affected the core that maintained the phantom body, and her mental state began to deteriorate.

A poor mental state will affect combat capabilities.

But the enemy was unaware of this, and the Shadow Organization's armed personnel became anxious when they saw Agatha's body recovering rapidly.

"Damn it... How could this be!" They had learned some information about the Banshee Queen. Since the weapon box in the White Curtain retained the Banshee Queen's special characteristics, the summoned phantom should be no different from the Banshee Queen.

However, the Banshee Queen is a specialist in mental enhancement; without sufficiently strong mental power, she simply cannot maintain the illusion.

After turning the Banshee Queen into equipment, even if the equipment is made of Dream Erosion material and has more possibilities, there will be greater limitations in maintaining the illusion.

Ordinary people don't have such strong mental strength.
In their estimation, it would be quite impressive if the White Curtain could create a few powerful illusions.

But now he has created dozens of them, and the strength of these phantoms is so high that it has far exceeded their expectations.

"There are many experts here." Bai Mu listened to the commotion in the distance. The Awakened Ones he sent out were all enhanced versions.

Even the lowest-ranking among them possessed the combat power of an Abyss Warrior. These Awakened Ones joined forces to attack an organization's base, yet they couldn't take it down immediately.

Whitebeard estimated the strength of the Shadow Organization to be much higher.

"It seems they've created some monsters, and they're very powerful."

"Let me see." Bai Mu took the Observer from Mine, put it on, and began to observe the battle of the Awakened.

Modern weapons pose a threat to Awakened Ones, but ordinary caliber firearms pose little threat; only weapons like artillery can exert a substantial threat.

The main reason is that Awakened Ones have a very strong recovery ability. Even if conventional firearms injure them, the speed at which they recover is not as fast as the speed at which they are damaged.

However, the equipment used by the Shadow Organization was not standard live ammunition; they also had energy weapons and biological weapons.

The modified organisms, equipped with stronger and heavier gear, clashed with the awakened ones.

In addition, the white curtain heard some rapidly approaching noises.

“Someone’s here, let’s go take care of them,” Black Eyes volunteered.

"Be careful. The fact that this organization can create a Banshee Queen means they are very skilled in biological modification."

"I will." After saying that, Kuroko got out of the car impatiently, while Akame looked at the white curtain with some hesitation.

"You sisters should go together."

"Thank you." Akame quickly got out of the car and they moved together. The two figures disappeared from Bai Mu's sight in an instant.

Instead of taking the initiative, they looked for an opportunity to strike.

Akame thought of something, glanced at her surroundings, and her superhuman eyesight allowed her to see subtle anomalies hidden in the environment.

Without checking the anomalies, she directly drew her sword and burned all the abnormal parts.

"Sister?" Kuroko didn't react for a moment.

"That might be some kind of surveillance method used by the enemy," Akame whispered.

She didn't know anything about cameras or similar things, but she had heard Bai Mu talk about them.

While in the car, Mine also saw the anomalies in the environment through the clairvoyance of her Teigu.
