Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

……

Chapter 39 Perspective

"..."

Xuul silently "watched" the team moving towards the mountains at a high speed. The leader was obviously a mountain dweller, and he could see that he had extraordinary skills.

If it weren't for taking care of the team members, according to Xuer's analysis of the mountain dweller, he would have already walked into the mountains.

"Matthew."

"exist!"

Hearing the boy's call, Mashu, who had been relieved that Shul had stopped the knight, immediately stood at attention.

She immediately regained her composure and looked at the other person very seriously.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Because they have nothing to do until now, the girl who has been in the atmosphere group almost the entire time is extra serious at this moment.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not give the "order" as she expected, but instead looked at her with a worried look on her face.

"Are you okay, Mashu? I noticed you've been worried since a while ago."

Although the boy was a little careless most of the time, he would often observe very carefully at critical moments.

Naturally, he also noticed Mashu's previous strange behavior.

“Huh?”

Mashu was stunned.

She didn't expect the other party to ask this suddenly.

The girl immediately pulled her hand away and stroked her face.

That look is exactly saying "Is my expression that obvious?"

In such a night without any bright light source, he can still see the girl's face through the vast "darkness", which is enough to prove how much Ritsuka Fujimaru cares about the girl.

The concern in the boy's eyes didn't seem fake, and Mashu felt ashamed for a moment.

"Fu~"

Even Fu Fu in her arms turned around at this moment and made a few worried calls.

I actually made my companions worry again.

She opened her mouth, as if ready to tell her companions her thoughts, but there was obviously no time to give her the chance, so she had to swallow her words.

"Don't worry, senior and Fu Fu, I'm fine."

Putting Fufu in her arms on her shoulders, Mashu quickly adjusted her mentality, raised her large shield and held it in front of her.

"Yeah... I'm glad you're okay."

Having said that, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't intend to continue talking about this matter. After all, although Shul had bought a lot of time, it was obvious that they didn't have much time since the Lion King started to act.

It can be said that there was no time for idle chat. Therefore, seeing that Mashu was not seriously injured, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and immediately looked at Da Vinci.

"What do you need me to do?"

Da Vinci smiled. Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts would usually be revealed, like now.

But the reality was not exactly as she imagined.

The young man nodded and then immediately shook his head and said:

"Although I really want to ask you for help, but..."

As he said this, he looked at Xiuer, and the meaning was self-evident.

Xuul is too omnipotent. For some things, it is more efficient to ask him for help than to ask others for help.

"Oh my, this is really..."

Da Vinci touched her face helplessly. She understood what the boy meant.

After all, even a "genius" cannot fight against the helpless "deus ex machina".

"Ever since little Shul came, my glory as a genius has dimmed~"

She deliberately spoke in a complaining tone, but the smile on her face made the words full of mischief.

"..."

Seeing that the topic turned to himself again, Xiuer observed the team in the field of vision of the sky eye while looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Because they were connected to the Heavenly Eye, his eyes were also emitting a faint light at this time, and the weak light became particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the night.

Fujimaru Ritsuka has seen this doll in this state no less than ten times. This situation usually means that Shuul is doing something.

"..."

He didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

Although he really wanted to ask what the other party was doing, the boy still knew what was more important at the moment.

"Go ahead, Shuul. Bring the refugees who are still nearby into your 'territory' for protection."

"The application has been accepted and will be implemented."

This time, Xuer was too lazy to even move. He just exerted his strength without moving.

—【Opening】—【Reincarnation Paradise】—

An invisible ripple appeared under Xuer's feet and quickly radiated outward, sweeping into the distance.

All individuals whose backs are "swept" by it will only feel the illusion of a breeze blowing.

No one knew what this was. The refugees who were swept by the ripples were instantly drawn into the "different space".

Because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's deliberate "planning", Shuul only selected refugees fleeing near the holy city.

"Something you may not understand may appear later."

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka also came to the four refugees who had negotiated with him and began to give them a "vaccination".

"But don't worry, you won't get hurt."

"Eh?"

Of course, such meaningless remarks could not be understood by these mortals.

"May I ask what will happen next?"

The mother spoke up. Although she trusted the people who had helped her, she was still worried about the boy's words, which seemed like a "danger warning."

After all, compared to the other two grown men who were alone, she still had her own children to take care of.

"Um……"

Ritsuka Fujimaru recalled the original scene, the vast white space, and the sudden change in the scene.

"It may be difficult for you to understand, but something did happen. However, it was done by Shuul, and we did it for your safety."

"Xuer...?"

The child in the mother's arms couldn't help but look at the doll with glowing eyes (physical) in the crowd.

"Is that the angel sister's name?"

"Yes~"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled kindly and leaned over to gently stroke the child's hair.

"Later, Angel Sister will activate her powers to protect you and your mother, so don't be afraid no matter what you see."

"Yeah! The big brothers are good people, and the angel sister is also a good person!"

The innocent words of the children added a touch of warmth to this desolate land. Even Bedivere, whose heart was full of struggle, could not help but be moved by such a scene.

He looked at the refugee mother and son, both wearing black cloths, standing on the devastated land, then looked at the bright and beautiful holy city in the distance, and an unknown emotion emerged in his eyes.

His movements were very small. No one knew what the knight was thinking about writing at the moment, and no one noticed the knight's current state, except Xuer.

Leonardo da Vinci might have seen it, but it's unlikely that she saw it in that way.

"..."

Xuul looked at the people here calmly. At the same time, his "sight" fell from the sky to the mountain dweller who was leading the team.

Under the cover of night, this team, all covered in black cloth, was able to hide in the surrounding colors like some animals in nature.

But even so, it couldn't escape Shul's "eyes".

As if aware of his gaze, Xuel discovered that since he locked his sight on this team, the leading mountain dweller had looked back many times.

At least five of those times he looked towards the sky, or in the direction of his Sky Eye drone.

However, because it was at a high altitude and was a very small object, even though the other party looked at it many times, it was difficult to find the specific origin of this sight.

However, although he failed to detect the existence of the person who was spying on him and others, the mountain dweller clearly planned to speed up the pace of the main team.

Unfortunately, the other team was already at its fastest speed, but due to some of the members in the team, it was difficult for the team to go any faster.

Good perception, this is Xiuer's evaluation of the mountain dweller.

He also detected a similar aura from the other party to that of a "Hassan" he had captured previously.

There is no doubt that the mountain dweller is also a "Hassan".

Bring your gaze back to what’s in front of you.

Thanks to the boy's comforting of the child, the other three also understood what was going to happen next.

"Thank you, thank you so much for helping strangers like me."

Seeing that the mother was about to lose control of her emotions again, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly calmed her down.

"Thank you very much, Angel for your help!"

However, the mother did suddenly turn to Shuul and bow to him.

Although I don’t know what I will face next, at least the safety of myself and my children is guaranteed.

It was already a surprise to be rescued, but I didn't expect that these kind people were actually prepared to find a new place for them, the refugees.

She was unable to repay this kindness, and the only thing she could offer was the faith that came from the bottom of her heart.

"..."

Xuul watched all this indifferently. After the young man finished explaining, he did not wait any longer. Instead, he directly activated his power and "pulled" all the selected individuals into the critical point that had been covered in advance.

All the refugees in front of him disappeared out of thin air. There was no doubt that they all entered Xuul's territory.

"After witnessing it with my own eyes once again, I can't help but sigh at how convenient and powerful Shuul's power is."

Watching several living people disappear out of thin air before his eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The boy looked at the doll and remembered the time when they were still enemies.

"Luckily, she's my companion now..."

The young man was extremely grateful that as an enemy, Shuul's oppressive power far exceeded any existence he had encountered so far.

In all his previous adventures, he had never seen a being without any "weaknesses" like this.

Regarding the "handling" and conclusion of the refugees, Fujimaru Ritsuka's attention now returned to the topic that had been interrupted by the movement in the Holy City.

"So dear Da Vinci, what solution did you come up with just now?"

……

----

……

“Damn it——!!!”

boom--! ! !

On the bustling streets of the Holy City, a certain red-blond knight was venting his anger on the objects on the street.

She casually swung her iron fist at the objects beside her, smashing them to pieces.
