The shuttle in the second dimension

　Ostach laughed loudly, and at the same time, he did not forget to give orders to Astaroute beside him.

　However, just as Astarothi was about to carry out Ostach's order, a voice that sounded like a smile came from behind them.

　"Uncle, if I really ask you to remove that wedge, I'll be very upset..."

　"What is this voice?!" As if recognizing the owner of the voice, Ostach turned his head and stared at the person who appeared behind him.

　"It's you, the demon master of the Lion King Organization!?"

　"It's me, uncle. How do you feel about the information about the 'Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique' on the Type 7 Assault Demon-Subduing Machine Gun?" Lin Xuan said with a faint smile on his face.

　"You..." Looking at Lin Xuan in surprise, Ostach seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be that you deliberately..."

　"Don't talk nonsense, uncle." As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, a huge amount of magic power gushed out from Lin Xuan's body, filling the entire bottom layer of the cornerstone gate with his magic power.

　"This magic power!!!" It was obvious that Ostach was frightened by this huge magic power.

　Almost at the same time when this magical power appeared, Ostach immediately felt something strange. Why, why at the bottom of this cornerstone gate, he felt the sunlight that was like dusk.

　next moment.

　"!!!" Ostach's face suddenly turned gloomy as he looked around in surprise at the suddenly changing environment.

　"You!! You are definitely not the magic attacker of the Lion King Organization. Who are you?!" Ostach asked Lin Xuan with a grim expression.

　"Who am I? Does it matter now? - Rudolf Ostach"

Chapter 80 Untitled

　"Who am I? Does it matter now? - Rudolf Ostach" Lin Xuan walked slowly towards Ostach with his hands in his pockets.

　The faint smile on Lin Xuan's slightly raised lips seemed particularly dazzling in Ostach's eyes.

　"What exactly is your purpose?" Even the most confused person would be able to see that Lin Xuan had bad intentions.

　"Of course, it's for the girl next to you. A familiar beast that possesses the ability to plunder the enemy's magic power and, after obtaining information on the 'Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique', can render all magical attacks ineffective and reflect them back. It's rare to find one~~~~"

　"——" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ostach's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lin Xuan with a bad expression. "Is it for this purpose that you used the Seven-Type Assault Demon-Subduing Machine Gun with the 'Divine Vibration Wave Drive Technique' to fight Astaruti that day?"

　The scene of the battle between Astaruti and Lin Xuan that day kept replaying in his mind. He seemed to have discovered something strange in it. Ostach (hx) murmured, "No wonder, that night..."

　"Okay, the small talk is over. Next, uncle, tell me the ownership of the girl next to you." Lin Xuan chuckled softly without any awareness that he was robbing her by force.

　"You are dreaming. My plan is about to be completed. I can't give up here. I must get the immortal body that has been usurped. No one can stop my determination. Die!!! Young man." Ostach said like a roar, raising the half-moon axe in his hand and rushed towards Lin Xuan.

　"Why can't you be more quiet, uncle~~~~" Looking at Ostach rushing towards him, Lin Xuan curled his lips helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll just get rid of you first. By the way, I'll look through your memory to see where the puppeteer went, so I don't have to ask people to look for him."

　As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Ostach, who was originally rushing towards Lin Xuan, stopped as if he had endured something. His face was ferocious. The axe that he originally held in one hand was now clenched in both hands, and was still sinking. The most important thing was that the hideous blue veins on his forehead and arms quietly emerged from under his skin.

　“This…” Staring at Lin Xuan in shock, as if he were looking at a monster, Ostach gritted his teeth and said, “Gravity, damn it!!”

　That's right, it was gravity that caused Ostach's veins to bulge and his face to look so ferocious. To be more precise, it was the gravity of the area where he was standing.

　Gravity manipulation, this is exactly the ability possessed by the seventh familiar beast [Black Sword of Yama].

　"How does it feel, this thirty times gravity?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ostach, who was enduring gravity that ordinary people could not bear, with a smile on his face.

　"Astaruti!! Kill him!" Ostach bit his lips until they bled, and roared with all his strength. As soon as he finished speaking, as if unable to bear it anymore, Ostach fell to the ground, feeling the weight on him. He stared at Lin Xuan intently. He had not expected Lin Xuan to possess such formidable strength. 'I underestimated him,' Ostach thought to himself.

　On the other side, after receiving Ostach's order, a magical power began to gush out from Astaroti's body. At the same time, rainbow light began to wrap around her. As the rainbow light became stronger and stronger, the magical power gushing out of her body became more ferocious.

　When the magic power condensed and took shape, what was exposed to Lin Xuan's sight was a humanoid beast emitting rainbow light, and Astaruti, the host, was inside the beast.

　Facing Astaruti who was rushing towards him, Lin Xuan did not use the power of [Black Sword of Yama] on her. After all, she was the one Lin Xuan wanted. If he damaged her body, it would be a loss.

　So, when the fist with the power equivalent to the most powerful spell cannon was about to hit Lin Xuan, a flower with seven petals bloomed in front of Lin Xuan. The seven petals were like seven layers of barriers, guarding Lin Xuan behind it.

　The barrier that suddenly appeared in front of him like flower petals was exactly the treasure that Lin Xuan possessed, the [Seven-Layered Blazing Sky Rings (laaias)].

　boom--

　The beast's fist and the Noble Phantasm collided with each other.

　However, unfortunately, the fist swung by [Rose Fingertips] did not penetrate any petal of [Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Sky (laaias)].

　"It seems your attack power is still a little insufficient~~~~" As Lin Xuan whispered, the space around him began to ripple. "Since attacks with magical power will be ineffective and reflected back by you, then try attacks without magical power."

　The moment Lin Xuan finished speaking, dark red ripples began to emerge from the rippling void. The next moment, a handful of treasures with a mysterious and dreamy aura slowly stretched out from it.

　"This!!" Ostach, who was lying on the ground and unable to move, stared in shock at the dark red ripples floating in the void and the treasures sticking out of them, "How is it possible..." Obviously, Ostach was a connoisseur. Each of those treasures floating in the void possessed considerable power. One such weapon was enough to cause a shock. He did not expect that Lin Xuan would have so many in his hands.

　The most important thing is that Lin Xuan seemed to only want to use such a precious weapon for projection, which made Ostach, who was lying on the ground unable to move, curse inwardly for wasting such a precious weapon.

　"Let's get started—"

　As if receiving an order, the Noble Phantasms that extended from the dark red ripples transformed into dark red meteors and attacked Astarudi.

　[Rose Fingertips] The huge body did not give it flexible speed. When facing those rushing treasures, all it could do was passively accept them.

　"Chichi-"

　The Noble Phantasm projected at high speed continuously created cracks on the body of [Rose's Fingertips] which was condensed by high-density magic power. As the cracks appeared, it could be clearly felt that the magic power in Astelli began to decrease continuously.

Chapter 81: Bloodsucking and Mental Domination

　After feeling that Astaruti's condition began to decline, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

　Pulling his right hand out of his pocket, Lin Xuan whispered, "Almost done~~~"

　The next moment, a sound like the chirping of millions of birds suddenly rang out.

　I saw a blue-white light flickering in Lin Xuan's palm. It was a bolt of lightning, which was bound in Lin Xuan's palm. But even so, the overflowing lightning also exuded a strong power.

　"You should take a break, Astaro~~~~" Almost as the words fell, Lin Xuan appeared behind Astaro and slapped the lightning condensed in the palm of his right hand towards [Rose's fingertips]. If it were just that, an electric shock of this power would definitely not cause any damage to [Rose's fingertips].

　But just as it was about to touch [Rose's Fingertips], the lightning in Lin Xuan's palm directly spread out and penetrated into [Rose's Fingertips] through the cracks that were torn open by the treasure.

　The lightning that penetrated into the body of the beast continued to move within it.

　"Ahhhh!!!" The lightning that kept moving in the beast's body inevitably touched Astaruti, who was inside the beast. A cry filled with pain came out of her mouth, and in just a moment, she fell into a coma.

　As Astaroute fell unconscious, the familiar she had released, the "Rose Fingertips," also transformed back into pure magic power and dissipated.

　"Is she unconscious?" Lin Xuan whispered as he looked at the girl falling to the ground.

　He slowly walked to Astraluti's side, gently picked her up, and looked at her delicate and childish beautiful face. As Lin Xuan's gaze moved down, what caught his eye was the girl's snow-white neck. At this moment, a touch of scarlet as bright as blood quickly occupied Lin Xuan's eyes, and the slightly opened lips revealed the two sharp teeth.

　He gently stabbed the two sharp fangs into Astaro's snow-white neck.

　"Oh~~~~" The pleasure that continued to spread inside her body made Astaruti, who was in a coma, subconsciously let out an alluring moan. At the same time, the petite body held in Lin Xuan's arms began to tense up.

　A touching blush quietly appeared on the fair cheek.

　Slowly pulling out the tooth that had pierced his neck, Lin Xuan gently licked the blood remaining at the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Although it's slightly inferior to Agurola and the others, it's still a rare delicacy~~~"

　Of course, Lin Xuan didn't just want to suck blood. His goal was to transform Astaroute into his blood servant. Otherwise, with the little life she had left, she would die within a week or two.

　Gently placing Astarothi in his arms on the ground, Lin Xuan shifted his gaze to Ostach, who was still lying on the ground, unable to move.

　Lin Xuan walked over slowly, and when he reached him, he squatted down and looked down at him, saying, "Hey - uncle, how about working for me?"

　"Do you think I will bow to a demon like you? Boy, stop joking!!" Although he was pinned to the ground and unable to move, Ostach still struggled hard and roared, although his struggle was in vain.

　"Really? That's right, since you are taking such a big risk to come to the Genshin Island and don't care about the life and death of everyone on the Genshin Island and want to forcibly seize the holy relic, I guess your belief has reached a paranoid level. I will definitely not be able to recruit you by trying to persuade you with words, let alone a demon like me~~~" Lin Xuan said nonchalantly with a slight raise of his lips.

　"But, uncle, sometimes, there are some things that you can't just not do if you want to~~~For example, the matter that is under my control~~~~" As Lin Xuan's words fell, a huge figure quietly emerged behind him.

　It was a beautiful ichthyosaur with silver crystal scales. Its forelimbs resembled translucent wings, and its spiral horns, like those of a wild goat, shone like crystal pillars with a dreamy glow.

　There is no doubt that the one who appeared behind Lin Xuan was his familiar beast——[Capricorn Eye Crystal]

　An ominous aura lingered around the beast's body. The appearance of the beast caused the atmosphere to vibrate, and the magical power emanating from the beast was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

　Feeling the breath in the air, Ostach raised his head with difficulty, opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at the beast behind Lin Xuan. Feeling the breath emanating from the beast, he murmured in astonishment.

　"This……"

　However, in the next moment, as if he thought of something, Ostach looked at Lin Xuan in shock, muttering "You...you are!!! No....uh..." However, just when he was about to reveal Lin Xuan's identity, Ostach's face suddenly changed.

　He felt that a huge mental force was trying to dominate his mind. Just when he wanted to resist stubbornly, the huge mental force was like a flood that broke through the dam and directly destroyed his mind in an instant. Then, his whole person's vision began to become unfocused, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

　"Although it will be affected, it's not that bad. I'll train him as a death warrior." Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought. Then, he canceled the gravity control on Ostach.

　However, things were not over yet. Lin Xuan gently stretched out his index finger and middle finger and placed them lightly on his forehead. Then, an indescribable breath emanated from the index finger and middle finger that were placed together.

　At the same time, memories kept resurfacing in Lin Xuan's mind. They were the memories of Ostach's time, the memories he possessed, whether he remembered them or not. Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't accept all of these memories. At times like this, he would filter through his mind to find the memories he needed, and those he didn't need were directly removed, leaving nothing behind.

　"Found it~~~~"

　Not long after, Lin Xuan searched Ostach's memory and found the information he needed, the [Puppeteer] - Zachary Angelet.

Chapter 82 Puppet Master

　The northern part of the artificial island is where the experimental facilities of companies and universities are located, creating a vast research city.

　In a corner of this inorganic city, a building stands alone. It is the former site of the Sperucci Institute, a pharmaceutical company funded by the European Rotary Association.

　It was a large room inside this almost cubic building that could be reminiscent of a church sanctuary. Inside the room, cylindrical sinks occupied about 60% to 70% of the space.

　The tanks were about one meter in diameter and less than two meters high, but there were about twenty of them. These were adjustment tanks used to create artificial life forms.

　Inside the room, a man with long, messy hair and wearing a white coat was packing some things.

　On the table in front of the man was an unfinished bottle of whiskey. He seemed to be a researcher in this laboratory.

　However, the man seemed to be out of harmony with the room. It felt like an antisocial artist was more suitable for his current appearance than a scientist staying in the laboratory.

　Next to the man stood a petite girl who was assisting him.

　Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps behind the man.

　The sudden sound of footsteps successfully caught the man's attention. He glanced behind him in the direction where the footsteps came from. After seeing who was coming, he frowned slightly. "Teacher Jian, shouldn't you be heading to the Cornerstone Gate to seize the holy relic? Why are you running back? Could it be that something has happened to Astaroute!?"

　However, the man opposite him asked, and the man who called him "Teacher Jian" did not answer his question. Instead, he looked ahead with his eyes wide open, and it was unknown what he was looking at.

　The so-called 'Teacher Jian' was none other than Rudolf Ostach.
