Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Inquiring, are you able to use that holy sword?"

Golden energy floated around Xuul, quietly waiting for its master's instructions.

"As expected, you still want to obtain the "power" of this sword."

Facing the ready-to-strike Shuul, Artoria smiled helplessly.

She slowly raised the sword in her hand, and the silver-white sword reflected brilliant light under the sunlight.

……

……

"Hey, hey—can you hear me, Fujimaru-kun?"

As the remaining flames of the black dragon on the scorched earth gradually died out, a long-lost sound came from the device on Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist.

Dr. Roman's voice flew out from it, and the gentle voice floated clearly into the boy's ears.

"Ah, Doctor, I can hear you."

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was concentrating on watching the situation in the distance, was immediately startled.

He quickly raised his hand and clicked on the "Projection Request" sent by Roman.

Then, accompanied by a flash of golden energy, the near-real image of Dr. Roman was quickly projected out from the port on the side of the instrument.

The boy's movement naturally attracted the attention of the people around him. It could be said that everyone present heard Roman's call.

Xuanzang Sanzang and Tawara Tota were both surprised at the orange-haired man who suddenly appeared here. After all, in their opinion, this man flew out directly from the young man's bracelet.

Because the equipment provided by Shuul is particularly convenient, the boy can establish real-time communication with Chaldea just by wearing it. Therefore, Dr. Roman does not need to keep in touch all the time.

The reason why the latter suddenly spoke was because there were huge changes in Chaldea's monitoring equipment.

Roman didn't wait for anyone to ask before immediately explaining the reason for his sudden call.

"We've detected that the singularity repair is more than halfway complete, and it's almost 'finished.'"

"How's the situation here?"

After saying that, Roman quickly looked around.

The technology provided by Shuul makes the "communication" between Chaldea and the boy particularly convenient, just like this VR-like effect.

Roman could even feel the heat in the air.

"Well, it seems like you guys are kind of... laid back?"

He rubbed his chin a few times, and his gaze slowly shifted to the two strangers beside the team.

“Who are these two…?”

"Let me introduce you~"

Following Roman's question, Da Vinci immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to take the job.

Because the projection range of the instrument is within 50 meters around the boy, Roman's projection cannot go too far away.

Fortunately, the two strangers were right next to the team, just a few steps away.

Da Vinci brought Roman's projection in front of the two of them and immediately began to introduce them.

"These two are Miss Xuanzang Sanzang and her apprentice, Mr. Tawara Tota, who helped us on this trip."

After saying this, Da Vinci looked at the master and his disciple.

"This is Doctor Roman, one of our important logistics personnel in Chaldea."

"Eh? Is that Xuanzang, the monk who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures?"

Looking at this beautiful girl with a great figure, Roman was stunned for a moment. She was actually the Tang Monk who went on a journey to seek Buddhist scriptures?!

"Well, it's me."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Roman."

"Haha hello, Mr. Roman."

Looking at the somewhat stunned Roman, Tawara Tota subconsciously wanted to go up and shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you."

Although it was just a projection, Dr. Roman's hand could actually touch Tawara Tota, and even the touch felt so real.

"It's amazing that I can actually touch you."

But if he hadn't seen with his own eyes the other person's figure flying out of that little thing, Tawarota would certainly understand what a projection was, but this was the first time he had seen such a "real" projection.

"Hahaha, I'm surprised too. Xiuer's skills are truly beyond our comprehension."

"Hahaha, this is also from the hand of Lord Xiuer, then it's not surprising."

When Tawaratota heard that it was Shuul's technology, he immediately felt it made sense.

It seems that everyone who has come into contact with Xiuer has reached a certain consensus on this puppet with strange behavior.

"you also?"

"Yes."

Tawaratota smiled helplessly.

The conversation was like a riddle, but the two men understood each other and showed a hint of helplessness.

This kind of tacit understanding between men also made Da Vinci and Sanzang slightly stunned.

"But then again..."

After sighing, Roman turned around and looked around again.

"Where are the Shuuls?"

"Well..."

Leonardo was just about to explain Roman's question.

As a result, his train of thought was interrupted by the sudden change that occurred in the next second.

Above the scorched earth in the distance, a golden pillar of light suddenly rose from the ground.

An incomparably powerful blast, carrying rich magical energy, blew past everyone.

"That is?!"

Roman stared at the beam of light in astonishment. The indicators on the monitoring equipment in Chaldea showed shocking results.

"Noble Phantasm?!"

There was no doubt that it was the sound of a Noble Phantasm being released.

"Is this the Lion King's final counterattack?!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru shouted hurriedly. He didn't know the specific situation in Shul's place, and could only judge the danger based on the scene.

It had been quiet for such a long time, why did such a sudden change occur?

And seeing the look on the boy's face, Roman immediately had the answer in his mind.

"So Shuul is fighting that Lion King?"

Although it was just a question, he was already certain of his guess.

"That's right..."

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could explain further, the golden light column in the distance immediately fell to the ground.

But just as it was about to hit the ground, an extremely dazzling golden light flashed from the opposite side.

The golden spear tip rose from the ground and collided with the pouring light column.

The energy generated by the collision between the two caused an unparalleled huge explosion on the scorched earth.

The powerful impact blew the boy to the ground.

"Master!"

Mashu had already raised her shield in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, but facing such a terrifying attack, she could hardly protect the boy behind her.

A violent gust of wind, carrying with it a strong magical power, blew past the shield and quickly blew through the boy's body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Fujimaru-kun!"

Da Vinci quickly rushed to the boy's side, took out a prop that looked like a respirator and covered his face with it.

It was only at this time that the expression on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face finally improved.

And this strange and powerful impact gradually dissipated.

The dust and fog left by the explosion had completely dissipated under the impact.

The completely destroyed land underneath was exposed, and a deep pit with a radius of one kilometer appeared on the ground.

At the same time, a golden vortex suddenly appeared beside Fujimaru Ritsuka.

A green figure walked out, and under the sunlight, the intact Xuul returned to everyone's sight.

……

Chapter 73 Progress

"..."

Xiuer, who just walked out of the "door", immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

And when the puppet completely walked out of the passage, everyone's attention was attracted by the shining sword in its hand.

There were incomparably gorgeous carvings on the sword, and everyone, without exception, sensed an extremely strong magical power from the sword.

Faced with the several gazes directed at him, he chose to ignore them.

The puppet let go of the weapon in its hand, and the long sword quickly disintegrated into countless golden magic quantum before it fell to the ground.

It was not until the weapon completely disappeared that everyone's attention finally returned to the puppet.

"Xiul! Welcome back!"

The first person to come to his senses was Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he was also the first to respond.

The boy quickly ran to Xiuer and carefully observed his appearance.

Its smooth, white "skin" and Chaldea's standard clothing were completely undamaged, save for a little dust and a faint heat.

This also means that he did not suffer any harm during this operation.

"Well, I'm back."

Xiuer did not reject the kindness of the enthusiastic young man. He nodded and responded softly.

"Welcome back, Xiuer."

Just after the young man greeted, Da Vinci, who had been observing for a long time, slowly walked over. Although the former responded on behalf of everyone, she still greeted him softly.

But until now, her gaze was still fixed on the spot where the "long sword" disappeared.

"So what did you gain from this battle?"

The "purpose" of Shul's battle is known to everyone in Chaldea.

And Shul never concealed his purpose. Even when he first joined Chaldea, he revealed a lot when faced with questions from Da Vinci and Dr. Roman.

Of course, he only gave a brief explanation about "world travel".

"affim."

So when faced with Da Vinci's question, Xiuer had no intention of hiding anything.

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and reshaped the weapon he had just "discarded" in his hand.

As a burst of golden light emerged, the gorgeous long sword appeared before everyone's eyes again.

“This sword…?”

Roman quickly walked to Xiuer's side and leaned over to look carefully at what was in his hand.
