Dream Travel

Chapter 523 is even better than the original.

The Shadow Organization seemed to have made many preparations to deal with the White Curtain, but they underestimated the White Curtain's mental strength, and those preparations did not play a significant role.

On the contrary, the prepared traps and defenses are becoming fewer and fewer as the awakened ones advance.

Several armed men were swept away by the sweeping tentacles and their bodies were twisted in mid-air.

Livlu glanced at the explosion that had occurred not far away, where intense heat distorted the air.

A hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes. The bomb was too powerful; even for her, being hit head-on would severely reduce her combat effectiveness.

This is only because she has a phantom body; if she were alive, she would have died instantly if that thing had blown her up.

Among the Awakened Ones who fought, several were killed by these bombs.

A swift figure flashed past, tearing apart a piece of cover. Lucyella glanced back at Livru, gave her a provocative smile, and then charged into the enemy's lines.

The killings officially began.

"Let's hurry over there too!" Duff shouted anxiously as he followed Livlu.

“Idiot, let’s start from another place.” Livlu glanced at Duff. She didn’t want to gather her high-end combat forces together only to have them wiped out by the enemy using unknown weapons.

Since the start of the battle, the enemy has brought out quite a few weapons that the enemy does not understand.

Fighting alone is not a good thing, as it makes it easy for the enemy to target you separately, but gathering together is even worse.

boom--

Just as Livlu was about to move to another spot, a loud explosion came from Luciela's side, and her massive body was blasted away.

All of this was caused by a huge monster, whose body resembled an alien. After knocking Luciela away, it chased after her at an extremely fast speed.

"What's going on? Is this a biohazard outbreak?" After Bai Mu's mental scan detected the monster, he paused for a moment, then raised his hand and fired a shot.

The monster chasing Luciela suddenly stopped. An invisible barrier appeared in front of them, and thick ripples spread out after the mental energy bullet hit the barrier.

If it were the old Ling Shu, this barrier could block the attack of the white curtain, but the current Ling Shu has greatly enhanced its penetrating power.

The mental energy bullet, imbued with lightning and flames, pierced through the barrier and struck the monster.

The monster's body, however, was unexpectedly sturdy, and it withstood the attack with its massive size.

The places where hellfire ignited were extinguished by that invisible force, which was either spiritual power or telekinesis.

The monster had no eyes, but its head was pointed directly at the white curtain, giving the curtain the feeling of being watched intently.

"What are you looking at..." Bai Mu raised the weapon in his hand, but the monster moved at an extremely fast speed.

With the added interference of mental interference, his scope's mental scan was unable to lock on for a while.

However, the fast-moving monster was quickly subdued by another monster.

After Luciela was knocked away, she entered a berserk state. Her awakened body was covered with a large number of sharp teeth. After pinning down the monster, a dense, gnawing sound rang out.

The monster that was being held down let out a terrible roar, and a mental shock slammed into Luciela's body.

Luciela, with the physique of an Awakened, withstood the mental impact and coiled her fanged tail around the monster's head.

Her sharp teeth gnawed away its neck, tearing off its head, which had no eyes but only a large mouth.

"Too cruel."

Bai Mu turned his gun around, the accumulated lightning power coursing through the weapon. The powerful attack pierced through all obstacles in front of him, blasted through enemy bunkers, and destroyed the base's entrance.

The awakened ones, waiting for their chance, immediately rushed to the broken entrance and fought outside the base. Due to the environment, they were at a disadvantage.

Once inside the base, the awakened individuals' terrifying physical abilities began to take effect.

There are defensive lines and artillery emplacements outside the base, so how could there be such a thing inside the base?

Okay, even if there is, it's better than being bombed in an open field.

"Watch out for those monsters later, be careful not to get killed." Livlu glanced at Duff, then her tentacles shot out from the ground, piercing through several fleeing armed men.

Outside the base, although there were ambushes, they were no longer very effective, as many of the monsters lying in ambush resembled variants of the 'banshee'.

It also possesses some strange abilities.

However, the overall combat power of those monsters posed little threat to Bai Mu, and they didn't even force Bai Mu to make a formal move.

Lafayette's body was still inside the weapon case.

The White Curtain chose to provide remote support because it wanted to see what powerful things this organization could come up with.

The result was quite disappointing for him.

I thought the enemy was a master, but it turned out they weren't as skilled as I expected.

He always feigned weakness, making himself appear like a fragile sniper who would be doomed if he were to be cut down.

Bai Mu held a weapon case in one hand and a Ling Shu sniper rifle in the other.

He said to the two Mingjing Sect disciples who had finished their fight, "Well done."

"..." Although they were praised, the two disciples of the Mingjing Sect were not happy at all.

The white curtain issued a new order: "Continue to operate in the vicinity and kill all the monsters you encounter."

"Okay..." The two disciples of the Mingjing Sect thought about running away, but their bodies were different from normal bodies.

Their 'souls' are still controlled by the White Curtain, so there is no possibility of escape.

The disgruntled Mingjing disciples vented their resentment on the monsters.

White Curtain first found Mine, near the area where the pink twin tails were active, where there were quite a few monster corpses.

Some of these monster corpses were torn apart, while others were burned to a crisp.

It's obvious that Leone was the one who did it.

The surrounding air distorted slightly, and Mine, with a few blades of grass still clinging to her hair, jumped out, pointed her weapon at the white curtain, and fired without hesitation.

A figure that slightly distorted the air was killed in mid-air.

Bai Mu used the weapon case to swat the invisible monster away. He raised an eyebrow slightly; this monster could become invisible and also had some kind of mental influence.

This had no effect on him, but it did on others: "You're in quite a bit of trouble."

"We can handle it even if you don't come."

Mine removed the sniper module from her Teigu Pumpkin, reverting it to its short-gun form, and began firing at the area to her right. This mode of the Teigu didn't unleash much power, but its advantage was its high rate of fire.

After her Imperial Arms was repaired and strengthened with Hellmetal, the Hellfire attached to her attacks made up for the shortcomings of high firing rate but insufficient power.

The invisible monsters were only slightly shaken after being hit by the weak mental energy, but the burning hellfire made them struggle painfully.

Mine nimbly retreated to the side of the white curtain. These monsters were ferocious and would try their best to perish together with each other before they died.

She looked a bit disheveled because an invisible monster suddenly rushed over and exploded. The self-destruction not only had a physical impact but also a mental attack.

There are also special connections between the appearances of the monsters.

This makes them even stronger when they appear in groups.

White Curtain reached out and looked in another direction. Leone walked over, carrying a monster's head in her hand.

"This thing is so strange. When it attacks, it feels like something is penetrating my brain." Leone threw the monster's head on the ground.

Even after the monster died, it remained semi-invisible, and the white curtain revealed traces resembling the outline of a banshee queen.

He thought for a moment and said, "It might be a variant of the banshee monster. Be careful, those banshees have the ability to parasitize the mind."

Behind the white curtain, they found Akame and the others. The battle there was even more intense, and at the scene of the battle, the white curtain even saw two falling meteorites.

Although the meteorite was not large, it could still cause devastating damage to these monsters.

Inside the Shadow Base, the armed personnel remained calm and continued their operations, utilizing the base's environment within the mountain to engage in combat with the invading Awakened.

They displayed even greater combat prowess than they did in the outside world, and would attempt to kill Awakened Ones whenever they had the chance, even if it meant risking their lives.

From the perspective of the Shadow Organization, the combat power displayed by the White Curtain was too strong, but that strength was mostly brought about by the summoned phantoms.

First, deal with the phantom, then directly confront the white curtain.

"Although the Banshee Queen is gone, the Dream Erosion artifacts he commissioned are even more perfect..."

Ludrick looked at the monitor screen in front of him, which showed combat monitoring of Akame and Kurome, as well as combat monitoring of Leone's side.

The White Curtain's combat surveillance is also available, and it's being analyzed as a key focus. After their analysis, they've confirmed that the White Curtain's gun is also a creation related to the Banshee Queen.

The only difference is the focus; the gun is more offensive, while the weapon case retains the Banshee Queen's ability to capture spirit fragments.

In terms of performance, the weapon box from the white curtain is superior. The summoned phantoms showed a 'mental power' feedback from the same source, but the phantoms also have a sufficiently complete independent active core.

Based on the available intelligence, the White Curtain is an extremely rare entity with specialized mental abilities.

Not only can it support a large number of phantoms for combat, but it can also transform powerful mental energy into more substantial combat power through specific weapons.

Their organization spent a great deal of time and luckily cultivated the Banshee Queen, only to have her killed instead of suffering a loss; in fact, they gained even more...

The prerequisites are that we can retrieve the weapon case and the weapon from Bai Mu's hands, and find a suitable user.

A suitable user is easy to handle, although the Banshee Queen killed by the White Curtain is special and it is difficult to cultivate a second one.

But they can settle for a less desirable option: cultivating a normal Banshee Queen.

Such a banshee queen still possesses the original banshee characteristics, can engage in mental parasitism, has a mental network, and the larger the clan, the stronger the banshee queen's mental power.

Because there's no need to consider specialized Banshee Queen traits, this type of Banshee Queen can be trained in large numbers.

The weapon crate from the White Curtain can be used as a special plugin; if one Banshee Queen doesn't work, you can replace it with a new one.

As long as the weapon crate exists, that's fine.

Moreover, during the battle, the instruments set up in the environment also detected new information.

His weapon case and that gun seem to have been upgraded, which is great.

White Curtain not only crafted the Banshee Queen's materials into Dream Erosion equipment, but also elevated them to a higher level. Everyone knows how rare Dream Erosion items are.

Dream-eroded items that perfectly match the effects and the carrier are even rarer, let alone those that are not only perfectly matched but also sublimated.

In the organization's original plan, the Banshee Queen was more of a specialized combat biological weapon for practical use. As long as she was nurtured properly, she could grow stronger rapidly like a snowball rolling downhill.

With the Banshee Queen, the organization can be pushed to an unprecedented level.

At that time, they had not yet considered extending their reach into the Otherworld, but the phantoms summoned by the weapon box in the white curtain gave Ludrick's thinking a new extension.

If you have the means, you don't need to focus too much on reality; alternate dreams are also a very good source of 'material'.

The phantoms summoned by the white curtain didn't look like real things at all.

The difference can also be seen from their clothing. Those phantoms are very likely the 'spiritual fragments' captured by the White Curtain in the alternate dream.

Fortunately, the white curtain seemed to be aware of human limitations, and the number of phantoms it created was not overwhelming.

He values ​​quality more than quantity.

As Ludrick continued analyzing the White Curtain, the White Curtain approached the base.

The area was littered with corpses. A dark shadow rapidly approached Bai Mu, and after Bai Mu entered the base, the shadow quickly merged into the shadow of the weapon crate.

"Hehehe, all those souls have been collected." Luxembla's sinister voice rang out.

The demons did not participate in this battle, but they are still active on the battlefield.

They were adept at capturing souls, and none of the fallen enemies escaped their clutches.

“The soul quality is a bit lacking; this organization really likes to modify monsters,” Ra'azos’s voice followed.

"Monster?" Bai Mu looked at an armed man, then, as if realizing something, walked over and picked up the man's head.

After tearing off the helmet, a shaved head was revealed, covered with octopus-like parasites.

After being exposed to the air, the parasite continued to wriggle slightly. Then, the fused flesh suddenly tore apart, and the parasite abruptly detached from the head, lunging towards the white curtain.

Akame killed the parasite with a single strike. Shiro glanced at the corpses on the ground; some of them had begun to twitch slightly, slowly rising up like zombies.

As he stood up, flesh buds sprouted from the broken parts of his body, and the tattered combat suit could no longer restrain his mutated body.

Black Eyes acted swiftly, killing some of the 'resurrected' armed personnel.

Even so, the armed personnel further away had also completed the mutation process. The armed personnel who had been killed by the awakened ones surrounded the white curtain in the form of monsters.

Ludrick looked at the surveillance footage but didn't show much joy.

The white curtain deployed phantoms to participate in the battle, but he also had regular guards around him, who were equally formidable.
