The shuttle in the second dimension

Chapter 57: The Attack of the Marquis de Vauban

　"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" A huge roar echoed throughout the place.

　Lin Xuan seemed to be unable to bear it. He half closed his eyes and covered his ears. "Really————What is the old man doing? He is yelling so loudly. It's so noisy——————"

　Lin Xuan's complaints seemed to work. Woban stopped roaring and looked at Lin Xuan coldly with his head down. At this time, there were hideous scars on his body, and a strong smell of blood slowly emanated from his body.

　But looking at Woban's cold eyes, Lin Xuan felt a sign of danger.

　Then...fire rained down from the sky, so hot that even gods could be reduced to ashes.

　A sky made of flames descended, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire.

　"[Judgment of Karma Fire]?——This temperature, even for me who has activated the second stage of [Unyielding Lord of Arms], it would be unpleasant to be touched. However, since you want to play with fire, then I will play with it too."

　Then, Lin Xuan chanted

　"I, transformed into the blazing sun, will burn you all to ashes. Wherever I am, everything will be burned to ashes, leaving a thousand miles of scorched earth."

　Golden flames burst out from Lin Xuan's body and continued to spread around, as if to burn everything.

　The flames of both sides collided with each other, as if wanting to burn each other to ashes.

　"Tsk——" A sneer came from Woban's mouth. Even though he turned into a werewolf, his sarcastic smile made it easy for Lin Xuan to recognize him.

　"Could it be that——" As if remembering something, Lin Xuan widened his eyes and looked at Woban.

　Aa ...

　The huge roar sounded again.

　Then, Woban opened his bloody mouth, revealing his fangs that gleamed coldly, and his eyes, filled with ferocity, stared at Lin Xuan as if mocking him.

　The next moment, the golden flames released by Lin Xuan seemed to be attracted by something and all flew towards Woban's open mouth.

　Swallowed it.

　As the name suggests, the giant wolf completely devoured the flames of the sun.

　"Damn it——he can still do this, this pervert——" Looking at the flames surrounding him, Lin Xuan frowned quietly and wanted to fly up to avoid it, but the flames that kept falling from the sky made Lin Xuan give up this idea.

　Feeling the high temperature brought by the surrounding flames, Lin Xuan could already smell a hint of burning. The clothes on his body could no longer withstand this temperature that could burn even a god to ashes.

　"Hey——the old man is so cruel, he won't give me any chance to survive——" Lin Xuan said with a grin after glancing at the flames around him.

　Although the current situation is very unfavorable to him, there is no panic or anxiety in Lin Xuan's eyes, only joy. Yes, joy. Ever since the battle with Mekal, Lin Xuan feels that he seems to like the feeling of fighting very much. Every battle with all his strength can make him feel very happy.

　"Hey——as expected, you have to pay for what you have done. In the previous battles, I was the one who set fire to others, and this time it's my turn to be set on fire." After a few bitter smiles, Lin Xuan squatted down slightly, ready to sprint.

　"However, this little flame is not enough to trap me in here." Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, grinned and whispered, "Lightning and flint——"

　The next moment, Lin Xuan turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the sea of ​​fire around him.

　Woban, who was outside the range of the burning flames, was about to watch how Lin Xuan would break through the sea of ​​fire. He seemed to have sensed something and turned around.

　"Oh—this is a bit like Alexander's ability—" Woban said in surprise as he looked at the lightning that was constantly condensing into a human shape in front of him.

　"But——it seems that you are still not proficient, kid——" Looking at Lin Xuan who had just transformed from a lightning-like form to a human form, Woban smiled.

　"Indeed - I'm not used to using this ability yet. After all, I don't want you, old man, to have so much time to hone your powers -" Lin Xuan replied to Woban with a smile and stopped talking. After all, there is not much difference between transforming into the form of lightning and entering the state of super speed. But after all, he doesn't transform into the form of lightning often, so he is still a little uncomfortable.

　"But, old man, do you still have enough cursed energy?" Looking at Woban's exhausted body, Lin Xuan smiled and continued, "Neither [Raging Wind and Tide] nor [Judgment of Hellfire] seem to consume little power, not to mention that after using it like this, I'm afraid you don't have much cursed energy left. And after fighting to this extent, you must be feeling tired now."

　"Why, kid, do you mean you don't want to continue——"

　Shrugging helplessly, Lin Xuan replied, "If we continue fighting, it will really be a fight to the death. Although I haven't used all the powers I have obtained, you probably haven't used them either. If we continue fighting, even if there is a winner, I'm afraid there is a high possibility that both sides will suffer losses. Besides, you are not a disobedient god, and there is no benefit in defeating you. It is not worth it for you to continue fighting for a priestess, so how about a truce? You don't need a priestess anyway——"

　"Oh——I thought you would just keep fighting with me to decide the winner——" After transforming into a human again, Woban grinned.

　"Is that so? I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

　"Hmph——forget it, I'll just agree with your suggestion. Indeed, I feel tired after fighting to this extent, but I did underestimate you before. However, next time we meet in battle again, I will not be careless. So, prepare for that, kid." With his back to Lin Xuan, Woban took a step forward.

　Looking at Woban's back, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

　"Recently, a few old antiques in the underworld have become restless. They seem to have contacted Kusanagi Godou. Although I don't know what they want to do, it's best to retain full strength at all times, just in case."

　Turning around, Lin Xuan took a step forward.

　"I hope you don't do anything stupid, otherwise, I don't mind killing you all————" The scarlet eyes stretched out, and a cold light lingered for a long time.

Chapter 58: Untitled

　After Woban left, Lin Xuan looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him and said something a bit shitty.

　"——————That bastard Vauban, didn't he put out the fire he set before leaving?"

　"If left alone, these flames will burn for at least seven days and seven nights, and if the fire is not controlled and spreads out, who knows what will happen————" Lin Xuan ruffled his hair in annoyance, his words full of distress.

　"Tsk——this must have been intentional, that old man Woban——" Looking at the blazing sea of ​​fire in front of him, Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.

　"I am the very beginning of the very beginning. All things that exist and do not exist, that are visible and invisible, are born out of my power." Lin Xuan, whose face was not very good, slowly chanted the spiritual words.

　The next moment, a new power appeared in his body, which was Woban's [Judgment of Infernal Fire].

　He slowly used the power formed by the [Origin of Higher Than All Things] to dissolve the sea of ​​fire in front of him, and slowly gained control of the sea of ​​fire. After all, it was not a flame released by himself. In order to control the sea of ​​fire in front of him, Lin Xuan spent a lot of time, and this was without interference.

　"It's really troublesome. It's all because of that bastard old man Woban——" While slowly controlling the sea of ​​fire in front of him to stop burning, Lin Xuan did not forget to express his resentment towards Woban.

　When the flames in front of him completely stopped, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

　"Well, I've done what I should do. I'll leave the rest to the people in the official history compilation committee." Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly after glancing around and said, "Although the damage was quite bad, at least there's still a possibility of reconstruction."

　Indeed, Lin Xuan's surroundings are now in a miserable state. None of the buildings that originally existed in this area are left. They were all flattened by Lin Xuan and Woban, so this place has become an empty flat land. Although this flat land is full of potholes, it is flat overall.

　Taking out a spare set of clothes from the bracelet and changing into them, Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "Although I can restore this place to its original state by using the [Master of Time], if I do so, I won't be able to use this power for a while. After thinking about it, I'd better forget it. After all, these are some problems that can be solved with money. It's not a big problem, so it's none of my business————" With such irresponsible thoughts, Lin Xuan turned into a breeze and left this place.

　---------

　Looking at the front door of his house, Lin Xuan was about to open it and go in, but suddenly he heard a sound coming from inside the house, and his hand reaching for the door handle stopped in mid-air.

　indoor

　"Hey, hey——Liliana, do you think something will happen to Lin Xuan? After all, his opponent is the ancient demon king——" Yuri asked Liliana with his head lowered, his words full of worry.

　"Yuri, all we can do is believe in him—" Liliana comforted Yuri who lowered his head.

　"Don't worry——" At this time, a slightly childish voice suddenly sounded, and this voice also attracted the attention of Yuri and Liliana. Athens was holding the black tea with a calm face and savoring it carefully.

　"As the God Slayer who defeated me, although I allowed him to win due to my carelessness, his strength is unquestionable."

　"But——" Yuri's face was full of guilt, "If it weren't for me, Lin Xuan wouldn't have fought with that dangerous king——"

　"Squeak——" The door suddenly opened, causing the three women sitting in the living room to look out.

　"If you keep saying such stupid things, I'll get angry, Yuri——" Lin Xuan pushed open the door and walked in, then looked at the three women in the room with a smile.

　"Yo—I'm back," Lin Xuan said with a smile, leaning against the wall with some fatigue. He hadn't felt anything right after the battle, but after returning home and truly relaxing, he felt a wave of weariness rising from his body. Although it was only a slight weariness, it still made Lin Xuan sigh. "Although the plunder of the Xuanyuan Sword has made my mana almost endless, I don't have to worry about the consumption of power and can use it without restraint, but I forgot that the use of power consumes not only my mana, but also my energy. It seems that I shouldn't be too extravagant with power in the future." Just as Lin Xuan was still immersed in his thoughts, a soft and delicate body fell into his arms.

　"Uh——————Yuri!!?" Lin Xuan looked at the beauty in his arms with some surprise. It really surprised Lin Xuan that Yuri, who was so shy, would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Seeing Yuri showing signs of sobbing in his arms, Lin Xuan patted her back gently and said softly, "Silly girl, I told you not to worry about me, why are you so disobedient and don't trust me——" He gently pinched Yuri's small nose in his arms, with deep tenderness in his eyes.

　"I—————" Yuri opened her cherry-like lips as if to say something, but Lin Xuan lowered his head and kissed her lips, forcefully prying her teeth apart. After a long moment, their lips parted, both breathing rapidly. Yuri avoided Lin Xuan's gaze, lowering her head, her cheeks flushed...

　Taking Yuri's soft and boneless little hand, Lin Xuan took her to sit down.

　Liliana, who witnessed the scene, turned away with a slightly red face, not daring to look at Lin Xuan, while Athena looked indifferent and continued to savor her black tea.

Chapter 59 Decision

　Early the next morning

　"Um——I couldn't control myself last night——" Looking at the three girls who were still sleeping beside him with a headache, no, it should be said that they were women, Lin Xuan rubbed his messy hair and said with a sigh.

　On the bed sheet, three extremely bright fallen red flowers were deeply reflected in Lin Xuan's eyes, making his still not very clear mind suddenly refreshed.

　“Now——”

　At this moment, Athena, who was still lying in Lin Xuan's arms, opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Lin Xuan resentfully. Of course, Athena at this time was in the posture of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, not a loli. Otherwise, Lin Xuan would probably think that he was a pervert.

　Lin Xuan, who had not yet reacted to Athena's resentful look, was suddenly struck by a pain that made him gasp.

　"hiss------"

　The culprit of all this, Athena, slowly loosened her cherry lips that had been biting Lin Xuan's shoulder tightly, and even stretched out her tongue to lick her cherry lips stained with Lin Xuan's blood as if savoring the taste. The whole action was full of seductive charm, which made Lin Xuan's desire rise all of a sudden.

　"Damned godslayer, you actually took away my virginity, I can--" She stared at Lin Xuan with resentment. Just as she was about to say something harsh, she was rudely interrupted by Lin Xuan. He hugged Athena domineeringly and kissed her cherry lips. Lin Xuan forcefully pried open her teeth, and his hands kept touching Athena's body down.

　"Woo woo————" She seemed to be resisting Lin Xuan's actions, but no matter how Athena resisted, she could not break free from Lin Xuan's hands and could only passively accept Lin Xuan's actions...

　·····

　Looking at Athena who was still panting in his arms, Lin Xuan gently stroked her cheek and said with a hint of evil charm, "How does it feel————Goddess?"

　"You are such a willful godslayer. Are you teasing me with this kind of question?" As if she was a little tired, Athena now lay in Lin Xuan's arms, looking lazy and exuding a different kind of temptation.

　"Who made you such an attractive beauty that people can't help but want to tease you————" Lin Xuan said with a smile as he gently patted Athena's buttocks.

　With a cry, Athena glanced at Lin Xuan in a reproachful manner. Then she asked curiously:

　"But... God-killer~ Aren't you worried? About that prophecy in Greek mythology."

　"Prophecy? Are you talking about the prophecy that if Metis' child is a boy, he will overthrow his father and take his place?" Lin Xuan asked back in confusion.

　"Yes, I'm very curious!"

　"It's nothing. If he can overthrow me, it means he is better than me. Shouldn't I be happy then?" Lin Xuan replied to Athena with a smile. It was obvious that he didn't care about this prophecy.

　"Is that so? As expected, you and he are not the same kind of people. Before, I thought you were a godslayer with a strong desire for control!" Athens said with a complicated expression.

　"Maybe————" Lin Xuan (hx) murmured with some emotion as he looked at the person with his eyes closed.

　·······

　Shaking the cup in his hand, the ice cubes in the cup collided with the cup wall, and crisp sounds continued to ring out, but Lin Xuan seemed not to hear it, immersed in his own mind.

　"Now, there are two paths for me to choose. One is to delay the completion of the world's basic mission, that is, to not kill the fifth disobedient god for the time being and stay in this world first.

　The second is to wait for the arrival of Perseus, the god of disobedience, and kill him, completing the world's basic mission and temporarily leaving this world. Both paths have their advantages and disadvantages."

　"If I choose the first path, although my strength growth will slow down, I will have more time to familiarize myself with my powers, and it will also be safer. However, the problem is that I don't know if the final king who destroyed all the godslayers will awaken prematurely because of my unexpected change. If that happens, the situation will be disastrous."

　"As for the second path, leaving this world means I won't have to worry about the Last King. However, the next world I land in is also random and uncertain. I don't know if I'll land in a world that threatens my life. However, after landing in a new world, I might have more opportunities to grow my strength. And after experiencing two more worlds, I can return to this world again.

　Then, even if I encounter the Last King, I will be more confident. Even if I cannot defeat him, I can travel to another world and temporarily freeze time in this world. Then I can increase my strength in the other world and return to kill him.
