Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Although chained to the ground, the ice puppet was still trying to break the chains.

But it was like prey caught in a hunter's net, unable to escape no matter how hard it struggled.

After making sure that the opponent's ability to move was completely blocked, Xuel raised his arm and aimed at the ice puppet.

No, if you look closely, you will find that Shuul is aiming at Yoshino on the back of the neck of the ice puppet.

In order to prevent Yoshino from taking back the angel, he broke free and escaped.

Although Xiuer could catch up immediately, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Suddenly, the arm that Xuer raised changed, and the whole arm began to deform, eventually forming a cannon shape.

The shoulder of the arm was replaced by a golden mechanical clock. Looking down, there were eight different sockets on the arm, and above each socket was a round can engraved with different numbers.

Next to each socket is a thin pipe that extends all the way down until it converges below and finally connects to the gun body.

The pitch-black muzzle pointed directly at Yoshino on the back of the ice puppet.

"—【Demon Opening】—【Seventh Bullet】—"

At this moment, the music that had been playing until now stopped, and then the clock on his shoulder rang.

The round can with the number "7" engraved on it glowed brightly and then retracted into the socket below.

Golden energy flowed out of the pipe of socket No. 7 and finally reached the barrel of the gun.

The entire process from deformation to shooting takes no more than one second.

A golden light lit up in the barrel, and energy shot out from it.

Without any reaction time, the golden laser instantly pierced through Yoshino and the ice puppet under her.

The expected wound did not appear on her body, but Yoshino and the ice puppet under her were strangely still.

At this time, Xuer landed on the ice puppet, in front of Shion.

Looking at his masterpiece, Xiuer was very satisfied with the results of this transformation.

Although it is common for an Ex-Machina to update and iterate their own machines, this kind of transformation that integrates the abilities of the Spirit Angel into the machine is unprecedented.

Even though he had already calculated the final effect and success rate, when he actually tested it in actual combat, excitement still filled Xuer's heart.

Some people may ask, where are those AST members who chased Yoshino before?

In fact, as early as the beginning, Xiuer gave priority to dealing with those people.

In an instant, he hacked into and interfered with all of their manifestation devices, and then used one of Pojun Songstress's abilities - [Solo] - on the AST team that had lost the protection of the random field.

And to be on the safe side, Shuul even increased the power of the Pseudo-Classic Pojun Songstress. As a result, it was no surprise that the minds of all AST members were completely controlled.

Finally, Shul gave the order, "Go home and rest, you won't remember anything when you wake up."

This led to the subsequent attack on Yoshino.

......

Shuul slowly approached the stilled Yoshino.

The analysis of her angel, the Ice Golem, has also been completed.

Originally, during their first encounter, Xuer had acquired her ice ability.

This time it was just to complete Yoshino's angel, the ice puppet.

Well, she is indeed a defensive angel.

Xiuer's mind had automatically organized and classified the relevant data, and he understood everything instantly.

Since the goal has been achieved.

He looked at Yoshino, who was still motionless.

Her face, still stained with tears of fear and pain, looked like a beautiful painting in its still state.

Xuel saw the scars on the opponent's body caused by the previous AST attack and his own attack just now.

Well, since you have your own reasons, then help me with the treatment.

He thought so in his heart.

"—【Opening the Classic】—【Fourth Bullet】—"

He raised his arm, which was still in cannon mode, and the familiar bell rang again. The round can with the number "4" engraved on it lit up as before.

He currently has no means of treatment, and using the Four Bullets as treatment is the only thing he can do now.

"Wait a moment!"

Ignoring the sudden shout, Shuul aimed at Yoshino's head and pierced through the latter's head with a golden laser.

After doing all this, Xuer turned his head to look at the source of the voice.

I saw a young man with short blue hair standing on a ruin next to the giant rabbit.

The elf girl named Tohka was holding a sword in one hand and holding the boy with the other, supporting him and not letting him fall.

Xiuer stared at the two of them with an expressionless face.

He saw it.

Besides Tohka, who recognized him and was in a bad mood and was very wary of him, there was also the blue-haired boy.

Shuul saw the emotion called "anger" in the other person's eyes...

Chapter 21: Shidou's Attitude

Looking at Shidou's eyes filled with extreme emotions.

Xiuer was unexpectedly interested.

Itsuka Shido.

The protagonist of the original novel is a classic Japanese-style Asian male protagonist who has the power to seal elves. He is so kind that he cannot bear to see the elf girls being persecuted for no reason, so he embarks on the road to save the elves.

The conflict between humans and elves in this world is neither complicated nor simple.

Many people died at the hands of elves, but the elves did not do it voluntarily.

Of course, except for Kurumi.

But Kuang San also claimed that those she killed were all scum of society, and she was self-aware and knew how bad what she did was. In her heart, as long as the plan succeeded, all those she killed would be resurrected and no one would be injured.

Therefore, Xiuer will not comment on this issue.

But one thing is certain, all of this was caused by Isaac, the director of DEM, and the so-called Origin Elf.

So from Shidao's angry look, it was clear that he had no idea what Shuul had just done.

Xiuer saw this at a glance.

The current plot progress is still only at Yoshino's place, and because of my intrusion, I don't know if I can successfully seal Yoshino tonight.

But that wasn't something he would worry about.

The fourth bullet reverses the target's time, and the target's physical condition will return to a certain time ago.

Therefore, for Yoshino who was hit by the Four Bullets, her condition will return to the state before she was injured, and the wound will naturally disappear, thus achieving the purpose of "treatment".

But the only spirits that Shidou has come into contact with so far are Tohka and Yoshino, so naturally he doesn't know about Kurumi's abilities.

So, in his eyes, the laser that pierced through Yoshino's head definitely killed the latter.

That's why he was angry.

Regardless of his already exhausted body, Shidou angrily questioned the other party.

"Why would you do that!"

"Shido..."

Feeling Shidou's anger, Tohka, who was supporting him, couldn't say anything to calm him down.

I had to hold the sword tightly in my hand and be on guard against the sudden attack from the guy on the opposite side.

Even though her spiritual power was sealed, she was still able to use it to the minimum extent, but the image of the machine facing Tohka was still fresh in her mind.

Even the me back then couldn't cause any harm to that guy, and instead my killing weapon was stolen by him.

Tohka's strength is far less than before, so when she faces Shuul again, she also feels pressured.

Facing Shidou who was questioning him.

Xiuer did not respond.

That emotionless, lifeless face never showed any other expression.

A pair of golden mechanical eyeballs simply stared at Shidou and the other man below, making them feel nauseous.

Shidou waited.

......

Ten seconds passed.

The stillness in Yoshino's body also dissipated, and time began to flow through her again.

Her petite body fell downwards from the ice puppet, and landed exactly where Shidao was.

This sudden change made it impossible for Shidao to maintain the posture of confronting Shuul just now.

Now he just wanted to catch the girl's "corpse", but his body had not recovered yet, and now he even needed Tohka's help to walk.

Tohka naturally understood what Shidou meant, and quickly took Shidou with her to catch the falling Yoshino.

At this time, the ice puppet also began to dissipate.

Having lost his footing, Xuul landed on the ground again.

......

----

"Shidou! Can you hear me? Calm down!"

Kotori looked at the picture on the screen and kept shouting on the communication channel.

Her mood finally calmed down when she saw Shidou and Tohka crawling out of the rubble. Although Shidou was injured while protecting Tohka, Kotori said that these were minor problems.

However, when Shidou went to question the spirit hunter, Kotori's heart rose to her throat again.

This stupid brother!

Yes, everyone on Fraxinus certainly witnessed what Shul did.

When he showed off his artillery arm that had been transformed by integrating the power of elves and actually used the power of [Nightmare], their eyes widened.

During their examination, Yoshino was found to have suffered no damage at all, despite the laser piercing her head.

When Yoshino's stillness was lifted, the examination results showed that her physical injuries were recovering at an extremely fast rate.

The scars on his body gradually disappeared, as if time was going backwards.

Kotori naturally knew that the other party did not kill the [Hermit], but Shidou didn't know!

What should I do if I am identified as an enemy by that elf hunter?

She wanted to explain the situation to Shidao through the communication, but there was only the sound of communication interference in the channel.

"Commander, I think his headphones might be broken."

"Or maybe the other party is interfering with communications in this area."

Either way, it's bad news.

......

Seeing that Xiuer just kept looking at him.

From the moment he set his eyes on me, there was always a strange light in his eyes. Was he probably scanning me?

Shidao's mind, which was overwhelmed by anger for a moment, finally calmed down. He then remembered that the other party was just an intelligent machine, and all its actions should be attributed to the manipulator behind it.
