Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

In a cave somewhere in the mountains.

A thin male monster wearing a cloak and a mask made of the skins of different animals lives here.

In front of him, countless corpses of creatures were scattered everywhere, leaving the center area blank.

The man had a pair of huge, black, hard horns on his head, which also indicated that he was a demon.

He was standing in this room filled with bodies, one hand facing the center of the room, muttering something...

Then black energy emerged from the magic circle on the ground, and immediately grabbed the corpses of two creatures, a brown bear corpse and a bird monster as big as a bear, and wrapped them together.

The dark pupils without whites under the mask were like black holes, staring straight at the "thing" in the magic circle that was mixed with black energy.

Just like playing with plasticine, the energy was like a giant hand, kneading the two bodies into a ball, then spreading them out and shaping them again.

Then, a strange fusion beast was born, with the body of a bear, the lower body of a bird monster, and a pair of wings.

After the shaping was completed, the black energy penetrated into the newly created body.

But in the next second.

The flesh of this strange monster began to dissolve and turned into a pool of liquid, and finally disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated.

"Failed! It seems the combination of these two creatures is unstable."

The man looked at the empty ground in front of him, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"But that's true. After all, even I can't imagine what the fusion of these two creatures would look like."

[Magic] is a world of imagination. If even the caster cannot imagine something, then the magic will naturally not succeed.

[Magic] is not [making a wish], it cannot do things that the caster cannot imagine. In order to cast it successfully, the caster must have an understanding of the corresponding knowledge to be truly successful.

for example.

For example, if you want to cast [Fire Magic], you must know how the "flame" is formed, and clearly understand the details and reactions of each step in the formation of the flame, so that you can finally successfully release the [Fire Magic].

To put it bluntly, imagination is indeed important, but imagination alone is not enough. Magicians must also have detailed knowledge of the relevant aspects. After all, if you can't explain it clearly, how can you imagine the process? (Except for some geniuses or freaks...)

Day-to-day learning and exploration will continuously increase the magician's experience and knowledge.

The demons have a lifespan almost as long as that of the elves, and they have an innate advantage in learning magic.

As for why 500 years old is also a minority, it is simply because they die quickly. All races are extremely hostile to the demons, and the demons are relatively more "combat-happy", so there are relatively few who can live to that age.

Far away.

For example, the magic used by this demon now.

This is the magic he has been studying for the past three hundred years.

【Fusion Magic】

Combine two or more creatures into a new synthetic monster.

To this end, he also acquired a certain degree of biological knowledge through continuous experiments.

However, at present, he is unable to fuse together monsters that are too extraordinary.

He could only combine mammals and insects. Once he tried to mix different types together, it would collapse instantly like the one just now.

"More experiments are needed."

The man pinched his chin and began to think about his next plan.

But at this moment, the appearance of other voices interrupted his thoughts.

A demon rushed in and shouted:

"Lord Child."

"......What's up."

The demon named "Chard" was obviously a little unhappy because his thoughts were disrupted, but he also knew that his subordinates must have something to say if they dared to come in at this time.

"Humans have arrived outside the facility."

"Humanity?"

Hearing that it was a human, Child was a little confused. If it was a human, why would there be any need for it to report to him?

"What's different about that human?"

It's not uncommon to see humans passing by occasionally. This has happened before. Human adventurers, human warriors and the like would come to this experimental site to defeat monsters or for some other reason.

However, they were all eaten up by his creations, and his subordinates had experienced this countless times.

Therefore, the situation that made them specifically come in to report at the cost of disturbing my experiment must be quite serious.

"That human is more powerful than any we've encountered so far. He's already killed most of the synths stationed at the gate."

The demon's little brother's head was covered with cold sweat without him knowing when. The demon's strong desire to survive made him very scared.

Even wild beasts would be afraid to seek profit and avoid harm, let alone the demons.

"Ok?"

"So where is that human now?"

In response, Childe showed no emotion, but calmly inquired about the intruder's information.

This laboratory was built by breaking through the mountain. If you invade from the entrance, it will take more than ten minutes to reach the current location.

And along the way, there are countless synthetic monsters that Charles has been making over the years. These monsters, transformed and fused by him, will become puppets that only obey his orders.

They will not harm other subordinates and will launch fierce attacks on outsiders.

Each one has considerable strength.

But when he was still asking his subordinates for more information.

"That human, she doesn't..."

There was a loud noise above my head...

Boom boom boom——

A large number of trees were broken by the impact.

The land in this large area is full of traces of battle.

A giant spider, five meters tall, was rampaging in the woods. In front of it was a boy who looked only eight years old.

The monster's target was obviously the young man.

The current situation is that the boy is running in front and the monster is chasing him from behind.

Suddenly, the monster raised its front legs and jumped forward, with its entire body flying high in the air. Then a strange scene appeared.

The back of the spider monster's abdomen split open, and two pairs of insect wings stretched out!

It flew up, it actually grew wings and flew up!

"Tsk, what kind of weird monster is this!?"

Taksen inserted the hatchet into his belt and picked up the holy book hanging on the other side of the belt.

Casting spells while running.

"The Goddess's Light Spear!"

A golden light gun suddenly appeared, pointing directly at the belly of the spider in the sky. The tip of the gun cut through the space and shot towards the target.

The monster just twisted its body casually to avoid the attack.

"Despite his enormous size, he's surprisingly agile. However, my light spear isn't so easy to dodge."

The dodged light gun immediately turned around and attacked the monster again from behind in the blind spot of vision.

However, the monster seemed to sense danger and quickly adjusted its posture to avoid it.

In the end, thanks to a timely dodge, the light gun only pierced one of the spider monster's legs.

This obviously angered it.

It works. It seems that as long as the number increases, we can defeat it.

Takson was delighted to find that the attack was indeed effective.

Because he was the one who attacked first at the beginning of the fight, but perhaps because he lacked strength, his fatal sneak attack did not penetrate the opponent's exoskeleton armor, and even almost put him in a very dangerous situation.

Fortunately, due to the constant challenges in his teacher's training ground, Takson's physical agility has also become extraordinary.

It quickly flashed out, and the scene of being chased by the monster appeared.

He immediately prepared to cast a spell again, this time, a combo.

"The Goddess's Ten Guns!"

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the world before him was already covered by shadows...

boom--! ! ! !

Xuul fell from the pierced ceiling with a pile of synthetic beast corpses, and landed right on the demon who came to report.

The [Ao Sha Gong] in his hand was inserted directly into the demon subordinate under him.

There was no sway from falling from a high altitude. At the moment of insertion, the arm drove the sword and slashed across the body of the demon.

The flying head still had a panicked expression as if it hadn't realized what was happening.

As soon as the ceiling cracked, Childe evacuated the area, cast acceleration magic on himself, and ran towards the exit.

Just kidding, that kind of behavior shows that he is a warrior, and a very powerful warrior at that.

He would not underestimate the other party. He would never let the human warrior who had killed all the defending synthetic beasts and finally arrived here get close to him.

Childe was very confident that within a certain distance, the warrior would be able to kill him the moment he cast his magic.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is very bleak.

Child's guess was correct, Shule could indeed deal with him, but he was also wrong, Shule would never give him a chance to escape.

Click——click——

The exit, walls, and ceiling were all covered with ice. In just a moment, this dark, damp, and bloody space turned into a blue kingdom.

Childe touched the frozen exit in front of him. The sound of footsteps gradually became louder behind him, like a ghost urging his death, ringing in his heart.

'What kind of magic is this?'

He looked at the ice and found that there was no magical aura on it. He admitted that this space was indeed a little humid due to various reasons, but it was simply unable to support the formation of that level of ice.

Da da da.

The sound suddenly stopped, as if the human had stopped ten meters behind him.

What is this doing?

Childe didn't know and didn't want to know.

"Fire magic!"

He turned around instantly and released a flame that covered everything in the direction behind him.

However, in his eyes, no one appeared in the area covered by the flames. He seemed to see a blue-purple hair appear on his right side.

Then, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from that direction.

puff-

The arm flew into the air, blood splattering everywhere.

"Well--!"

Before he could react to the pain in his hand, Xuul's next attack had already reached the opponent's abdomen.

The greatsword easily cut through the opponent's flesh.

Child's upper body flew backwards with his internal organs and hit a piece of solid ice that happened to be protruding on the wall.

Hang it up like a piece of meat on a butcher's hook.

As a magician, he knew very well what would happen if a powerful warrior got close to him.

The current tragic situation is the answer. It is only because of the powerful vitality of the demon's body that he can still stay alive.

Looking at the lower body lying at the feet of the invader, Childe knew that he was going to die today.
