Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

"Does reaching adult physical standards also mean sexual maturity? Does it mean the end of puberty?"

She showed her true intentions:

"Are you unable to grow taller?"

Gawain glanced at her:

"I'm still in the middle of my developmental stage. I'll continue to grow for the next few decades. If I fight a lot of valuable battles, I can even develop again. As for sexual maturity..."

He thought for a moment:

“No.”

“So I don’t know.”

Chapter 61 Golden Armor

Chapter 61: Traveling Together (21)

October 14, 417 Jialong calendar year

On the fifth day after entering the Demon Cave, Gawain and Lokisi arrived at the guardian's room on the lowest level hand in hand.

Although Gawain's attitude remained unwavering, Loki felt unspeakable torture. It was not just the feeling of being with him day and night, but more importantly, she felt uncomfortable with the useless passing of time.

You know, before arriving here, the two of them had enough time to circle the human world a thousand times in five days, so much so that even Loki felt that the three great labyrinths of the world lived up to their reputation. Of course, this was mainly because Gawain's strength was severely limited in this special environment. On the third day, Loki had desperately asked him to break through the ground directly. As a result, even relying on the Great Disintegration Technique, it nearly caused the entire level to collapse.

The internal area of ​​the Demon Cave is so large that it is beyond imagination. In order to avoid causing a continent-wide tsunami disaster, they can only exhaust all the space.

"We're finally here... It would be a big loss if Lady Senis wasn't inside..."

Gawain shook his head:

"Search and rescue on your own is a matter of luck."

Luo Qixi didn't feel comforted. She just took a deep breath and asked seriously:

"Open the door now?"

The deeper levels were not as simple as they were at the beginning, so Loki's attitude also changed. They even encountered teams of Spelud undead with special spears in the first two levels. If it weren't for Gawain, Loki felt that even if she was in full health and had magic armor and a distance of 500 meters, it would be unlikely for her to defeat this team of Demon Guards in the environment of the Demon Cave.

By the way, they also encountered fully armed undead from the Migrud tribe of the Demon God faction, which made Roxy, who had just claimed a few days ago that the Migrud tribe had never participated in war, look sour all day long.

Gawain felt that, given the technological level of the human world, it would be a foolish strategy to prevent the Migruds from joining the war. Such a race was a natural communicator for primitive civilizations.

But he didn't say it out loud, as he would be glared at.

"Let me open the door, Luo Qixi, you step back twenty meters."

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Qixi did as she was told and did not persuade Gawain not to make too much noise.

In front of me is a heavy metal gate that is ten meters high.

It is so majestic and towering that one can't help but wonder if walking along the wall might be a better option.

But Gawain, carrying a huge black sword on his back, just casually raised his foot and kicked lightly. A translucent shock wave visible to the naked eye exploded at the door. The metal door immediately caved inward and then disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only the ring-shaped white mist and the huge roar left when breaking the sound barrier.

From Lokisi's perspective, Gawain simply lifted his foot, and the door vanished, along with a portion of the mountainous wall. If the air around him hadn't been evacuated beforehand, the sonic boom would surely have shattered his eardrums. The scene immediately unfolded before his eyes: corpses strewn across the ground, a scene resembling hell. Will-o'-the-wisp fire erupted everywhere, the ground shook and cracked from time to time, and groups of black-armored undead roamed.

But the more astonishing sight was still caused by Gawain.

Two huge doors, perhaps weighing at least a thousand tons, plowed towards the dark and distant end of the Guardian's room at an unknown speed of sound, easily drawing a clear dividing line in the purgatory scene. Whether it was corpses, chaos or undead, they were all crushed into ashes and scattered into smoke.

Until a spherical shock wave was born in the distance, and the two doors flew to different distances in even greater tatters, replaced by a white mark heading towards this side.

Gawain took down his door-like sword:

"Luo Qixi, pay attention to the aftermath, wait for me for a moment."

Loki nodded.

Before she could answer, Gawain's figure disappeared from her sight, leaving her with only a helpless smile. She then retreated while creating a metal barrier in front of her.

I really want to see his fight clearly.

Even just that once.

Gawain's speed is a frustrating reminder that we are not all one world.

In front of Gawain was an undead who had lost his head, was wearing black armor, had black smoke coming out of his body, and had a broken sword stuck in his body.

I can't see any aura or murderous intent.

Gawain simply used the greatsword like a racket to smash the place where the maze guardian's head used to be, instantly embedding the opponent into the ground.

He casually commented:

"The Water God probably can't defeat you, but he's just relying on his boredom."

In short, this guy is also immortal. In terms of magical knowledge, he can only be destroyed by divine strike magic.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't kill him.

The guardian shot out from the ground, punched Gawain with one fist, and with his other hand he pulled out the broken sword on his body and stabbed out a sword beam that turned into substance.

But Gawain simply lunged forward, then swung his fist to the left, smashing it into the ground nearby. For an enemy with this level of physical strength, a building or a mountain would be no different from tofu, but the ground was still a good force-bearing tool. In short, as long as it couldn't penetrate, it was fine.

The opponent slashed out hundreds of sword energies again. Such swordsmanship would definitely be considered god-level in modern times, right? However, it was a lost style that Gawain had never seen before. After a brief and brief uppercut, he sent the opponent flying into the ceiling.

"The armor will only be restored if it's damaged, that's good."

Gao Wen nodded and confirmed his idea.

He pulled the guardian down, evacuated the air within a radius of twenty meters, and then increased his speed as much as possible, controlling the force to beat the guardian in all directions at 360 degrees, stuffing all of its black smoke limbs into the armor, and then hammering the black armor into a completely sealed sphere.

The seal is complete.

Gawain weighed the ball in his hand, swung his sword to blow it away, then flew back to the entrance of the room and brought Roxy in.

Luo Qixi's analysis:

“The core should be at the deepest part.”

After Gawain flew her inward for a while, they saw towering black walls that seemed to be made of newly condensed obsidian. Right below the wall was a huge throne with a very ostentatious design, and on the throne was only a piece of armor.

The shape is simple.

Streamlined breastplate, shoulder armor and waist armor.

There is no special decoration and it looks similar to the products displayed casually in ordinary prop stores, but a closer look will impress you with its impeccable design.

It seems to be made of a special metal, the armor is shining with golden light, and it will glow faintly even when placed in the dark.

The impeccable design and golden brilliance give it a sacred feeling that will captivate everyone at first sight.

Gawain frowned slightly.

He put Roxy down and flew to the side of the armor. He reached out and touched it gently, then withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He said:

"Senise isn't here, let's leave."

Luo Qixi asked curiously:

"Gawain, won't you take this trophy with you?"

“This isn’t a trophy.”

"Where is this?"

"It's nothing."

Chapter 62 The Buds of Love

Chapter 62: Traveling Together (22)

"Want to visit the Dragon God Cave and Hell?"

It took several days to get in, but only a minute or two to get out. After returning to the sea, Gawain kindly asked Rakisi, who was obviously very interested in the three major mazes in the world.

Luo Qixi shook her head:

"We've been delayed long enough, but perhaps we should go back for supplies and confirm the intelligence for the next few days."

Gao Wen thought about it and simply rejected it:

"Then let's go to the next maze first. It's a good opportunity for you to go home and rest tonight."

"Okay."

The two of them quickly arrived at the [Black Iron Maze] which was ranked second on the must-explore list. This maze was located in the Demon Continent and was an uninhabited area with almost no adventurers coming. That was why the local landlord Luo Qixi generously let Haswen demolish the house.

Of course, they had to dismantle it very carefully starting from the outside of the maze, otherwise it might cause a large-scale collapse, causing harm or even death to Senis who might be inside.

It took more than an hour, until near dusk, for Gawain to dismantle the entire maze. He passively obtained a huge amount of resource supplies, lifted up a rather solemn golden door, and killed the maze guardian with a punch. Not finding any trace of Senis, they packed up their gains and returned to New Roa together.

Lokishi admitted:

"It's really boring to go into a maze with you."

Gao Wen has always been considerate:

"Then the agreement is void."

Luo Qixi pretended not to hear:

"What should I eat tonight?"

Although she had no intention of establishing a closer relationship with Gawain, after all, Gawain himself had no desire or desire for love or a relationship. Even if she could use her position in Gawain's heart to force or induce him to accept it, it would be meaningless. But this did not mean that Luo Qixi did not want to spend more time with Gawain, especially when they were just together like this. Just this, she was very satisfied.

I still have to emphasize that this is not inferiority complex.

Luo Qixi felt that she could calmly accept this imperfect possibility, which could probably be considered growth.

In the evening, eat in the cafeteria.

Over the course of two weeks, thousands of refugees converged on New Roa, and over ten thousand workers and farmers were recruited to help with the reconstruction efforts. Although only a small number of them were concentrated in New Roa and its surrounding areas, they nonetheless imbued the newly born city with considerable vitality. At the relief headquarters, a unified canteen replaced the earlier emergency rations with water, dried meat, and preserved vegetables.

While they were eating, two secretaries stood beside them to report on their work. One was the person in charge of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce, and the other was a cadre under Sauros at the headquarters.

In general, nothing happened.

After all, basically everything was back on track. Although the rescue teams in some areas were relatively weak, it had only been a few days, so no problems had arisen. On the contrary, the news of Gawain's active activities had finally had time to spread and ferment, making the situation more stable.

But in the end, New Roa could only obtain information about Asura and its surrounding areas, and this was based on the magic glider, and the efficiency of information transmission was shockingly low.

The only news worth noting was that a few days ago, a man in a white robe with a terrifying aura and a black dress approached Sillaoa. When the guards assembled, they could not find the two mysterious individuals. Since Gawain was not there, Saulos pretended not to see them and did not order a pursuit.

After dinner, Gawain walked around Fitoya Territory a few times, but did not see the two people mentioned in the intelligence, so he simply went home.

In the evening, Luo Qixi took a bath after a long absence. Gawain did not rush out, but stayed at home to read the information from the capital and helped Luo Qixi dry her hair.

"The roots of my hair are growing out my original color."

Luo Qixi was a little surprised:

"Huh? I thought it would be like this for the rest of my life?!"

Gao Wen regrets:

“The colors right now are so beautiful and special.”

"Praise it again."

"If Rudy got used to seeing you like this, he wouldn't have nightmares every night in Migrud Village, right?"

"..."

Luo Qixi really wanted to beat up that bastard who couldn't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, but her head was being held down by the other party with both hands. She could only try her best to raise her head and glare at him.

But soon, she realized something was wrong. She bared her teeth at Gao Wen and quickly covered her chest:

"Where are you looking, idiot!"

"Lips."

Although it was a misunderstanding, but:

"You're not allowed to look there either!"

Gawain looked away dissatisfiedly, loosened his hand and pinched Luo Qixi's face to vent his anger, which again attracted Luo Qixi's protest:

"Gawain! Have you become more and more presumptuous recently? I think you don't take me seriously at all!"

"The light path is reversible."
