Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

At the same time, the center of the palm that was supporting the opponent's chest also instantly expanded. A black gun barrel appeared in the center of the palm and completed the energy storage for launch under the cover of golden energy that blocked the line of sight.

Karna suddenly discovered that while the magic power was flowing into his body, something that made him feel uneasy was also mixed into his body.

Having recovered from No. 4's [Charging] action, he immediately wanted to break away from the other party's contact.

However, by the time he realized the problem, he had already lost the opportunity to escape.

"Changes completed."

boom--! ! !

The moment the machine's work was completed, the attack in No. 4's hand also came at the same time.

In an instant, dazzling golden light covered the scenery in front of No. 4, and the golden red flow of energy submerged everything in front.

At the same time as the attack, the flames around No. 4 were all blown out by the powerful impact, and the strong wind that originally filled the surroundings also formed a windless belt around him at this moment.

call--

Karna's body flew away into the distance like a rag.

呲——

Scalding hot air gushed out from the exhaust pipe at Number Four's elbow, and the strong wind returned to Number Four's surroundings, blowing away the hot air surrounding him. He retracted his arm and looked at the back of his hand.

The armor on the back of the hand quickly unfolded, revealing the back of the hand underneath.

I saw three crimson scratches quietly "lying" on the back of his smooth hand.

……

Chapter 42: Count Dracula

Outside, 2:24 AM.

Critical

"What are you doing!"

Jeanne, who was lying on the ground bound by chains, glared angrily at Number One, who was squatting next to a Crimson Master.

Jeanne is feeling very unstable right now, because just now, the guy who calls himself "Shurl" but is called "Number One" by his accomplices actually used magic to forcibly control a Black Master, forcing him to use Command Seals to order the Servant who is still outside to use his Noble Phantasm.

And just a few minutes later, it extended its claws to the red master who was still unconscious on the other side!

Joan of Arc wanted to stop it, but she couldn't break free from the strange chains on her body. She was afraid that this chain was also a fake of some treasure.

All he could do was watch helplessly as the other party reached out for the target.

He ignored Jeanne's call, stretched out a hand, and touched the back of the hand of the Crimson Master beneath him, where the Master's Command Seal was.

"Editing..."

The Red Masters who were abducted from the Red Team's stronghold have not shown any signs of waking up yet, which makes it easier for No. 1 to do his job just now.

When the initial curiosity wore off, Number One already felt that Joan of Arc was a bit noisy.

Although he didn't want to remember, due to the characteristics of the Ex-Machina, Number One subconsciously recorded the number of Jeanne's speeches.

A total of 649 sentences.

In these short two hours, similar remarks have appeared countless times from this Ruler's mouth, and 90% of them are actually questions.

As for the remaining 10%, it is also garbage that does not contain any important information.

This made Number One feel a little ashamed.

"Editing completed."

It just so happened that the work at hand was done, and he was ready to let the world be quiet.

Pulling his hand away from the back of the Master's hand, Number One stood up straight and turned to walk towards Jeanne.

After he withdrew his hand, the crimson Command Seal on the back of the Master's hand disappeared without a trace, and even the "residue" left after use did not appear.

So clean, as if it had never possessed a Command Seal before.

"04: Report, the experiment was successful."

Number Four's voice rang out on the public screen of the channel, and the content was his report on the progress of the mission to the main body.

Because only "Xuers" can connect, broadcasting on the public screen is actually the default operation of all "Xuers".

Although there is a "private chat" function, it is not necessary for them.

Except for the one time when No. 1 asked No. 2 for help in private chat, the other "Xuer" never used this function.

"what have you done!?"

Joan of Arc's face showed an extremely angry expression.

Through her Ruler function, she can distinguish the identities of Masters and Servant at a glance.

When Number One left the Red Master, Jeanne discovered that the Master's identity as a "Master" had disappeared.

Now, the man who was still unconscious on the ground had unknowingly lost his identity as a Master.

Depriving the target of a Command Seal could endanger their life. Even though the other party had previously vowed that they had tied them here for [protection], now...

Before Joan of Arc could guess more, Number One, who had already guessed her thoughts from her facial expression, spoke up immediately to stop her increasingly divergent thoughts.

"Answer: No need to worry, the target individual's vital signs are intact..."

After hearing Number One's explanation, Jeanne came to her senses and immediately discovered through her perception that the "former" Master was indeed fine, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But before she could relax, the next action of the person in front of her made her alarm bells ring again.

Two long, thin "tails" suddenly stretched out from under the opponent's black clothes, and before she had time to react, the two tails quickly fell to the ground on both sides of her body.

"you want……"

—【Boundary】—【Silence】—

As a small barrier unfolded beneath Jeanne, the words that had not yet been spoken were cut off midway.

Although Joan of Arc's voice was pleasant, it was still too loud for Number One right now.

Through the outer layer of the barrier, I could see the scene inside. Joan of Arc was still saying something, but the sound had been completely isolated inside.

After dealing with the source of the noise, Number One casually glanced at the nearby Masters. After confirming that they were not making any small movements, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the spot.

"It seems that Number Four's experiment was a complete success."

"Request for visual sharing, requesting object—04."

"Application sent successfully, waiting for processing..."

"Confirmed, the application has been rejected."

"Request failed."

"what?"

They won’t let me see it. It’s just a shared screen.

The battle with Karna, the son of God in mythology, must have been a spectacular scene. Thinking of this, No. 1 felt a little depressed.

Forget it, if you don’t want to show it to me, then don’t show it to me. I’ll find someone else.

"Request for visual sharing, requesting object—07."

"Waiting..."

"Request approved, screen synchronization begins..."

"Connecting... 0.1%"

nice!

Since I can't watch the Red Lancer, it's not impossible to watch the Black Lancer.

Let me see what kind of scene a Noble Phantasm that requires its Master to use Command Seals to forcibly release can create.

Number One couldn't wait for the shared screen to be connected.

"Linking... 87%."

“…100%.”

"Link ready, syncing."

……

……

squeak-

The cry of some animal could be heard beneath the torrential rain.

In the midst of the storm, blood-red bats covered the entire sky. They gathered together and danced freely in the rain. The heavy rain seemed unable to affect their flight at all.

They blocked all the moonlight from the sky and turned the area below into a dark realm.

In the violent storm, a group of strange blood-colored bats

The pungent fishy smell that even heavy rain could not dilute filled the entire area. The pool of water in the sacred pit had long since changed from turbid muddy water to a red viscous liquid.

The rain fell into the red liquid covering the ground, splashing red water droplets before turning into nothingness.

boom--!

All of it was golden light, flashing by in the blinding rain.

"Xuer"'s figure shuttled back and forth among the rain curtain and the group of red bats. The environmental factors did not have much impact on his actions.

The flocks of bats that rushed towards him all crashed into his outer shield, and countless bat fragments, either caused by the impact of Xuer's flight or cut by the storm, fell with the falling raindrops.

And those fragments that were either stuck on the shield or fell to the ground below quickly dissolved into scarlet liquid, and instantly regrouped and regenerated into a bat, which continued to chase and kill Xuer.

Of course, even so, this group of creatures, whose weight alone could crush several adult men, could not have the slightest effect on him.

The only thing that Xuel cares about is the owner of this group of creatures.

A flash of red light.

A red blood spear pierced through the ignoring bat, broke through layers of rain curtains, and flew from the blind spot of Xuer's vision, aiming at the human heart.

However, in the battle with Xuer, [sneak attack] is the least likely to succeed.

Unsurprisingly, the flying blood spear shattered into pieces the moment it hit the golden shield.

But obviously, the other party didn't think that this attack could hurt Xuer.

Then the blood spear turned into countless fragments, and the fragments that flew into the air immediately expanded and turned into irregularly shaped spiked balls. In the next second, like a shotgun, they sprayed dense new blood spears towards Xuul's shield.

The blood spear collided with the shield, shattered into pieces, and continued to turn into shotgun shells in a repeated process.

In just ten seconds, the number of blood spears had increased exponentially, completely covering Xuer's 360° surroundings.

Red filled his vision, and the scenery outside the shield had turned completely red. The sound of the storm had been completely covered by the endless collision of blood spears and the cry of bats.

It seems that the manipulator of all this wants to interfere with Xuer's perception.

However, as a Mecha-Machina, Shuul would naturally not be disturbed by such a simple means to perceive the outside world.

As expected, when he found that his vision was completely blocked by the red color, Xuer was neither anxious nor impatient. The pair of faintly glowing eyes hidden under the hood kept turning, as if he could see something hidden behind the layers of [obstruction].

"Target confirmed."

Xuer's gaze passed through the [red curtain] in front of him and looked straight up into the sky, at the figure that suddenly condensed from the red mist among the bats.

Boom——! !

A palm fell from the sky and smashed onto his golden shield with a dull sound that made one's teeth ache. The huge impact pushed back all the blood spears, bats and even raindrops nearby.

The area in front of Xuer was briefly opened up.

Vlad III appeared in front of Shul in an instant, but facing the person in front of him, Shul felt that he should call him "Count Dracula".

The sharp nails that had completely transformed into the palms of a beast were tightly gripping the shield. The face retained its original appearance but became more ferocious, revealing endless madness.

The former elegance and confidence disappeared in the scarlet eyes that had faded from gold, and what remained was only the bloodthirsty intent to devour the enemy in front of him alive.

His eyes, filled with murderous intent, met Xuer's calm golden eyes.
