Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"That child, there are still many things that have never been revealed to us~"

Obviously, both Mashu and Da Vinci saw the figure floating above the holy city, and it was Shulshur himself.

But he was different from the Shuul they knew. His appearance at this moment made both of them admit that the title of "angel" given to him by those people was so appropriate.

Even though she knew that Xuel possessed countless unique "powers", she couldn't help but show an expression of surprise when she saw that he actually broke the blow that seemed to destroy the world while charging head-on.

After all, she could tell at a glance that the magic contained in the Lion King's punishment was so powerful that she and her friends could not withstand it.

As a result, such an attack was blocked so easily by Xuer.

However, thanks to his genius, Leonardo da Vinci was only shocked for a few seconds before he quickly recovered.

There was also a lot of surprise on Bedivere's face, but his surprise was different from that of others.

“You actually did it…?”

The Silver-Armed Knight watched in amazement as the brilliance of the holy spear disintegrated and dissipated under the beam of light.

He was well aware of the power of the "King" of this world, and also knew the extraordinaryness of Naxuel.

That's why he said "Don't worry about Shuul" when he was escaping with Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group.

Because in his understanding, Xuul is fully capable of avoiding the edge of the Holy Spear.

But what the knight never expected was that Xuul actually chose to take the attack of the Holy Spear head-on and even actually blocked it.

"So the 'angel' those people are talking about is Shuul?"

Through the words of his companions, Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to roughly understand the answer.

But unlike others, when the boy learned that Shuul might be an "angel", he did not show any surprise.

Some were just relieved after knowing that Xuel ignored it.

"Huh—that's great, I'm glad Xiuer is okay."

He knew how powerful the other party was, but that didn't stop him from worrying about his companions' safety. Fortunately, the result was not bad, and the boy finally felt relieved.

However, the boy's indifferent reaction also aroused Leonardo da Vinci's curiosity.

"Ah~ Why don't you look surprised at all, Fujimaru-kun~"

The biggest crisis had been resolved, and Leonardo was in a mood to chat.

"Ahaha...well..." The boy scratched his head and laughed dryly.

"After all, didn't Xiuer say that she was a creation of God?"

If that's the case, then "angels" and the like are not difficult to accept.

"That's right~"

Leonardo da Vinci touched his smooth chin and agreed with the boy's point of view.

However, through observation, she could roughly see that the essence of Shuul in that state was actually very different from the "angel" in the Bible.

But no matter what, the other party's attitude is enough to cause misunderstandings to anyone.

In fact, both she and Mashu knew what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, after all, it was Shuul who revealed it to them.

But among the people present, there was one person who did not know.

As the only "outsider" present, Bedivere was astonished by the new information he heard.

He had guessed that Xiuer's identity was not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be exaggerated to this extent.

I see. No wonder he possesses such a powerful strength...

Bedivere did not ask more about Shuul's situation. After all, they were just casual acquaintances. Out of courtesy, this upright knight would not inquire about other people's experiences.

Suppress the surprise in your heart.

Bedivere quickly regained his composure and turned his attention away from the pure white shadow.

At this moment, the young man who was originally chatting with Da Vinci suddenly turned the topic to the Silver-Armed Knight.

"By the way, Mr. Lucius, why on earth did you approach the Lion King?"

Although it is very impolite to inquire into other people's intentions, the current situation forces Fujimaru Ritsuka to take this issue seriously.

Leonardo da Vinci also had questions that needed to be answered.

So she and her companions turned their attention to the knight standing beside them.

"Actually, I have a question for you, Mr. Lucius."

She didn't ask the question directly, but deliberately prolonged the word "Lucius".

As for Mashu.

She had always been out of the topic, but this usually silent girl was now looking at the knight with inquiring eyes.

It seems that she also has some questions that she wants to answer, and they are different from those of her other two companions.

The three people's eyes instantly focused on him, making Bedivere unable to react for a moment.

Bedivere subconsciously took a few steps back, but when he came to his senses, he immediately stood still.

He realized that it was time to show his hand.

The cool night breeze blew past, gently caressing Bedivere's hair. The bright moonlight fell from the night sky, slightly illuminating the knight's silver armor.

A shadow covered the knight's handsome face, making it difficult to see his expression.

He looked around and confirmed that there were only four of them here, then he took a deep breath and sighed.

"Ugh……"

If you want to gain the trust of others, you must first show your sincerity. Bedivere knows this very well, and he has already trusted the people in front of him. So now is the time for him to show his sincerity.

At this point, the knight who was burdened with such a heavy responsibility finally opened his mouth and explained the "purpose" of his journey.

……

----

……

At the same time, within a few seconds after the Holy Spear disappeared.

The space torn apart by the aftermath of the Holy Lance was also recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The broken space quickly spread upwards as if time was flowing backwards until it completely covered the night sky above Xuer's head.

From the outside, Xuer's figure disappeared into thin air.

The bright "daytime" returns here once again.

The impact of the Holy Lance was completely blocked by Shuul, because it was aimed at the independent space attached to the holy city, and the sky it broke through was only the critical "outer layer".

Therefore, the residents of the Holy City had not noticed the arrival of the Holy Lance until just now.

Recalling the collision with the Holy Spear just now, Shuul maintained the spiritual form of the Angel of Extinction and quickly descended to the ground.

Da da……

His feet were standing on the ground again, and his pure white hair, like a waterfall, was flying in the air with the airflow formed by the landing.

Looking at the pure white figure before him, Lancelot's mind was finally freed from the shock of the King's Holy Spear being broken.

Xuul looked at the Knight of the Round Table who was lying on the ground and still breathing with an indifferent expression.

That extremely cold gaze fell on the knight without any concealment, causing him to pause.

"You are... an angel...?"

I don't know if it was stimulated by something, but the knight on the lake actually said this subconsciously.

"..."

Xuul did not respond, but just stared at the knight on the ground silently. There was no emotion revealed in the golden "amber".

He stood there quietly and motionless, like a lifeless puppet.

"Are you... a divine messenger who has come to 'judge' us... those who have strayed from the path...?"

Lancelot spoke weakly.

At this moment, his life was slowly slipping away, and even his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

Da...da...

The white and smooth thighs were faintly visible under the hem of the pure white dress, and Xuel slowly walked to Lancelot.

A pair of white calves appeared in his field of vision. Noticing that the other party was approaching, Lancelot's gaze slowly moved upwards along the shape of the calves.

With the end of the battle, the wings that originally made up the "cannon crown" were disassembled and returned to both sides of Xuer's body one by one and lined up in order. When they were lined up together, they looked like a pair of broad wings.

In Lancelot's eyes, this pair of wings with special shapes were exactly the wings of an angel.

The bright "sunlight" shines on the pure white Shuul, and the gorgeous halo floating above his head casts a holy glow on him.

There was a faint sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

A shadow suddenly enlarged in front of Lancelot.

"A question, would a loyal knight allow the 'King' he follows to stray from his original course?"

A cold voice came from above the knight's head. The knight looked up and saw the young face that was squatting right in front of him. This was the first time he heard the other person speak in this way.

The delicate and slightly childish face made him look like a child, but the endless coldness revealed in his golden eyes brought Lancelot's flying mind back to its original place.

The content of those emotionless words was exactly the question that Xuel had previously expressed to Tristan.

Lancelot certainly remembered that unlike Drizzt who gave the answer immediately, he himself did not answer for some reason.

But in front of the "angel" before him, there was no need for him to continue deceiving himself.

"call……"

The knight took a deep breath to clear his mind.

"My loyalty...is always to the Knight King..."

He almost used up all his strength to utter these few words, but after finishing this sentence, there was no further text.

"……Yeah?"

Xuul slowly stood up. He understood the meaning of Lancelot's words and got a third answer from him that was different from the previous two answers from the round table.

His curiosity satisfied, Xuer then turned his gaze to the tall tower in the distance.

……

Chapter 34: Reunion

Looking at the towering tower in the holy city, Xuel knew that the top of the tower was where the "king" was.

Xiuer stood up and looked at the tall tower standing in the center of the city.

Those golden eyes were emitting a faint golden light.

Xuer's sight seemed to pass through the wall of the tower, through the barrier of space, and directly projected onto the existence sitting in the tower.

call--

A gust of wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blowing the ruins around him in all directions.

The violent gale engulfed the purple knight on the ground. As he had already lost all his strength, he was no longer able to resist the force and was blown away just like Gawain before him.

This "holy city" on the brink of collapse has been left in ruins by the battles that have taken place so far. All that can be seen are ruins, and everything in it silently tells of the intensity of the battle.

Xiuer slowly closed his eyes and sorted out the "data" he had collected so far.

He could detect that the Lion King was currently on top of the towering tower.

But at the moment, for some reason, apart from the holy spear, he no longer made any other moves, as if he was stunned by the incident of "the holy spear being broken by someone".

Unless necessary, Shuul generally doesn't like to speculate about other people's inner thoughts.

It's not out of "politeness", I just don't want to do anything unnecessary.

hum-

A ball of energy flew out from his chest and hovered in his right hand. Because of the change of clothes, the diamond-shaped crystal on his chest was also exposed.
