Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

puff-

As the sound of flesh being pierced rang out, two hands, holding a huge axe, flew into the air.

"Varied......"

And "Zera" was obviously shocked by the current scene.

Then, the "binding magic" was activated again, and strips of light wrapped around the body of the demon warrior, fixing him firmly in place.

Although it couldn't be fixed for too long, it was enough for Takson to complete the next move.

Several more beams shot out from under Zera's feet, piercing through all the vital parts of his body, and then a short-handled axe with golden patterns fell on the neck of the demon warrior.

Takson used "Jump Slash" to separate the opponent's head.

The bewildered Zella's body also fell to the ground at this moment.

"As expected, as long as you deliberately reveal your flaws, you demons are easy to deceive, just like the teacher said."

I still remember the teachings given by the teacher in the past six months.

This demon warrior who calls himself "Zera" is physically stronger than me, but as soon as he finds out that I am weaker than him, he will not take me seriously.

As expected, the demons are all such savage creatures.

In fact, this was Takson's first time fighting against the demons, it had never happened before.

According to the reason given by the teacher before, it is not enough and my physical strength is not enough.

Doesn't this mean that the teacher has admitted that I am now capable of facing the demons?

Great!

Ignoring the demon that had turned to ashes, he walked into the portal behind him that appeared the next second after defeating the opponent.

Having defeated a demon on his own, Takson walked into the golden portal with a confident smile...

......

Chapter 14: Challenge

However, it was different from what Tuckson expected.

He thought that after he walked into that [door], he would return to his teacher's side.

Can......

"I am 'Invisible Leslie', and I will be the one to take your life next."

A female demon wearing a cloak was now standing where Zera had been.

Yes, he did not successfully leave after defeating "Zera", but returned here again and faced a second different demon.

Taksen tightened his grip on the hatchet and became more alert.

The demon woman opposite just stood there, as if waiting for his active attack.

Could it be that the teacher caught more than one?

If that’s the case, will there be a third or fourth demon after we kill this one?

Wow, you didn’t let me touch it before, but now you just stuff it all in your mouth, right? The teacher really thinks highly of me.

But that’s exactly what I want!

Since the other party won't take action, I'll do it.

Takson spread out the holy book in his hand, he wanted to start with a goddess magic.

However, the "Leslie" in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

In a physical sense.

"!?"

Where did it go? !

The figure completely disappeared!

This is magic!

Yes, although there are warriors among the demons, most of them are born magicians.

"Magic that can hide one's body? Tsk, what a hassle."

Takson looked around vigilantly. He had never learned magic, so naturally he didn't know how to "detect magic". But since he couldn't see the target with his eyes, he only had one way left.

That was an ability he had developed from fighting monsters over the past few months. His warrior senses allowed him to always pay attention to any movement around him, but now he could only barely sense what was happening within a radius of 5 meters.

Just like now!

clang----

Taksen blocked the axe at his back, stopping the dagger from behind.

However, due to his still child-like body, his hardware was no match for the demon's physical body, and he almost failed to block it.

Although I still cannot see the enemy, I can sense it as long as it gets close enough.

If we keep going like this, it will work!

Several golden light spears shot out from under his feet and shot towards the back.

Unfortunately, Leslie retreated immediately after his attack failed, and Tex's attack was in vain.

However, the latter did not care about such trivial matters because he felt that he had found a way to deal with it.

The attack came again, this time from the head.

With a roll, he dodged the aerial assassination from Leslie and immediately activated the [Binding Magic] on the ground.

The light band flew out from the magic circle, but it only caught nothing in the space above.

No, there is a prerequisite time for activation. This method will not work against enemies with super high speed.

Ding--

Once again, he relied on his perception to resist another attack.

However, this time, the result was different.

stab-

Takson's clothes were cut open, and the muscles underneath that were just beginning to take shape were also cut open by the sharp weapon, and blood flowed out uncontrollably.

"Woo!"

The pain was instantly transmitted to his brain. Due to the difference in body size, half of his body was cut by the dagger, leaving a horrific wound.

Two knives! ?

Yes, Takson blocked the first knife, but not the second.

In this invisible situation, he had no idea of ​​the opponent's weapon status, so he was defeated by this sneak attack.

This is Leslie's fighting style, but in front of Xuel, [Invisibility] has no effect at all.

"Huh, huh, you're the damned demon clan, so despicable."

"Whatever you say."

Takson covered the wound on his body, endured the pain and cursed at the air in front of him.

But Leslie's response rang in his ears.

puff-

Blood splattered.

In Takson's vision, blood gushed out of his chest, and the trajectory was formed by being pierced by a sharp weapon from behind.

Then another knife followed.

With a knife in the throat, feeling the huge pain in his neck and chest, Takson realized that he had been killed.

Teacher, I'm so sorry. You caught them for me to practice with, but I can't even win the second one...

Feeling the touch of the demon woman's cold fingers on his face, his consciousness also returned to darkness.

......

----

......

"Hmm? I've already failed for the first time after only the second round?"

Xiuer was guarding the periphery of the barrier, constantly scanning the operation of the [virtual battlefield].

By the way, the internal scenes are monitored simultaneously.

"Come on, let me see how far you can go, even though you always say you want to become stronger and take revenge."

The battle images of two demons, "Zera" and "Leslie", were projected based on the data he had previously recorded.

Including personality and fighting style, they will also be restored one-to-one based on the records.

And since it was Takson's first battle against the demons, Xuul specially adjusted the difficulty to [Simple Mode], which is only 25% of the original body's strength.

After all, how could a demon who could slaughter nearly half of the guards in the city be killed by a child who was only seven years old?

It’s impossible to even think about it, considering the strength of the original body.

As early as the first attack, Takson would be cut in two along with the weapon in his hand by the axe.

Xiuer did not tell the other party about these things. He planned to explain them after his apprentice failed and withdrew.

And now, Takson, who doesn't know the truth, really thinks he is very strong.

Nothing more.

The confidence that had just been built up was rubbed to the ground by "Leslie" in the next level.

Facing a more skilled opponent, Takson was unable to accurately locate his opponent and could only passively defend. He also suffered his first death because he had no idea of ​​his opponent's equipment.

......

Opening his eyes, Takson looked at the unchanged flat land scenery and the golden portal in front of him.

He quickly touched his body and found that all the previous wounds had disappeared, without even a trace!

"Eh? Me?"

He was a little confused when he saw this situation, but he immediately remembered that this was created by his teacher and it shouldn't really threaten his life.

When I thought about it this way, it suddenly made sense.

For Takson now, every move of Xuer has meaning, and he also believes in his teacher.

"Okay, in that case, I can't let the teacher down."

Having roughly understood the situation, Takson picked up his axe and holy book on the ground and walked into the portal again.

Then......

"Alas—do we have to start from the first one?"

Looking at the very familiar demon warrior "Zera" who was just killed by him not long ago.

A painful cry came from Tuxon's heart.

Because he could already imagine how difficult the subsequent training would be.

However, this was exactly what he wanted. Theoretical knowledge alone was not enough to fight against the demons. Only actual combat could truly improve his strength.

Therefore, Takson immediately adjusted his mindset and attacked "Zera" again.

It’s just one more fight. I’m a defeated general, so there’s no pressure. I already know the key to victory and the rules of victory have been determined.

This was what Takson was thinking before he was cut in half by "Zera".

When he returned to the starting point again, there was a hint of confusion on Takson's face, and he did not continue the challenge immediately.

Instead, he stopped in front of the portal, pinching his chin and thinking seriously.

Just now, that "Zera" obviously remembered the last time and seemed to have learned his lesson, completely ignoring the flaws I deliberately revealed.
