Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Looking at the intruder's appearance, he was confused.

Those inorganic golden eyes without any emotion stared straight at him. The various cracks on his skin and the lifeless face gave him the feeling that he was just a doll.

Child, who often came into contact with different lives in order to study magic, was very sure that the other party should not be classified as a "living being", but in a sense, it could also be considered a "life"?!

But what confused him the most was the halo above his head.

what is that?

He could only be sure that the other party was definitely not a [human]

But if it’s not a human, then what is it? The puppet can’t move on its own. Could it be some kind of [magic] effect that controls the puppet to fight?

Childe wanted to ask, but he didn't have any extra time to think about such things.

He knew that he was about to die and be easily killed by an unknown powerful being.

Among the demons, strength is respected, and being killed by powerful creatures will not cause any dissatisfaction to the demons.

But for Child, he still has his own persistence, and he has not yet created the work that he is most satisfied with.

One of the big horns on his head broke off due to the impact, and his mask was also shattered, revealing his face covered in blood, making him look even more hideous.

Da, da...

The human walked towards him again, and this time he deliberately slowed down his pace, as if he was mocking him.

But Childe didn't understand the meaning of this human's behavior.

He only knew that the other party had deliberately left him an opportunity.

Even a trapped beast will still fight, let alone the demons.

Child now had no chance to find more material to complete that masterpiece.

So now, in this space, there is only one kind of material left that has never been used.

Living demons.

Yes, because he knew that he had absolutely no chance of survival, Child chose to use himself as material.

"Fusion magic!"

A magic circle appeared under half of Child's body.

Black energy emerged from the magic circle and first enveloped his own body.

Then these energies covered the ground one by one, wrapped up the remaining corpses of various creatures, dragged them all into the magic circle, and combined with Child's body.

Throughout the entire process, Xiuer never interfered in any way.

He just stood there, his golden eyes filled with streams of data.

It didn't take long before the interior of the object wrapped in black energy was shaped and integrated into Child's final work.

Without any animal features, a body that looked exactly like Childe's previous appearance appeared above the magic circle.

The next second, it opened its dark eyes without whites and looked at Xiu Er who was waiting below...

......

Chapter 17: The test is over, the person who was noticed

Taksen dodged the giant monster's dive.

However, the huge impact that followed still caused him to fly for a distance, and his face finally came into close contact with the ground.

He quickly got up and spat out the dirt he had been forced into his mouth.

The good news is that the monster was moving so fast that it smashed itself into the ground and couldn't pull itself out for a while.

This also facilitates Takson's subsequent work.

......

Watching the huge monster that was turned into a hedgehog by the light gun gradually turn into ashes, Takson wiped the sweat from his forehead and found an intact tree to sit down and rest.

"This monster is truly unusual. Aside from its brains, it's stronger in every way than the ones I've encountered before. It's still no match for the demon named 'Zera,' though."

In fact, this is not the first time that Takson has dealt with such a large monster.

Coupled with fighting against the mountain-sized demons, he had extensive experience in dealing with large enemies.

He had his own plan for hunting that giant monster just now, but he never expected that the monster would be stupid enough to smash itself into the ground.

This also allows Takson to save most of the time.

But I always feel that there is something wrong with this monster, as if...

"It's as if it's completely unfamiliar with its own body and can't control it at all."

Takson pinched his chin and stared at the location of the monster's corpse that had long disappeared.

Never mind, it’s not dangerous anyway.

Putting aside the unnecessary worries in his mind, Takson brushed off the dust that had just stuck to him from the battle.

After straightening his clothes, he shouted to the air beside him:

"Teacher, is the test finished?"

As for why we do this, it is of course because it was done this way before.

"【Notice】Test completed, congratulations, you passed."

A voice exactly the same as Xiuer's, but even colder, rang out, and a blue-purple figure emerged from the woods behind Taksen.

"Hey, it's the teacher's clone."

When he realized it wasn't himself, Takson felt a little disappointed.

If you ask him why he can tell the difference between the original body and the clone, it is of course because of [feeling].

In his words, although the teacher's words were cold, there was still a bit of emotion or something in them, while the clone was cold, and both his words and actions were mechanical.

Tuckson asked Shul about this matter, and Shul explained that "there is no self-awareness, only the most basic intelligence."

He didn't understand what this so-called "intelligence" was, and Xiuer didn't explain it in detail, so he understood the teacher's clone as a puppet controlled by the teacher himself.

I have to say, in a sense this is true.

"Sister Clone, where is the teacher now?"

"[Answer] The Command Machine is currently located 1934.5 meters southwest, 276.8 meters underground."

"Forehead......"

"Can you please say it in a way that I can understand?"

Listening to the clone's answer, Takson was a little speechless.

He knew that "Commander Machine" was the name the clones called their teacher's original body.

But every time he wanted to ask about his teacher's location, he had to ask again before getting a brief answer.

Xiuer's clone blinked.

"[Correction] The command machine is located under the first cave in the southwest."

"Oh ok, thanks..."

"[Additional] Please move back ten steps to avoid the high-risk energy."

"what?"

The ground beneath my feet began to shake violently, as if something was about to burst out from underground.

Before Takson could react, "Xiul" grabbed his collar, lifted him up and threw him backwards.

boom----! ! !

Just as he landed on the ground, a dazzling white light covered his original position and shot straight into the sky.

"Enemy attack?"

Although he didn't understand the situation, the habit he had developed over the past few months made him immediately enter combat mode.

"[Negative] This is just an attack from the command unit, called "Angel of Extinction: Cannon Crown."

"Hey, did you say that attack was from the teacher?!"

"【affim】"

"Wow, you're really worthy of being a teacher."

If this were a scene from an animated film, Takson's eyes would be filled with stars.

After learning that the attack came from his teacher, Takson had already lowered his attitude, with only admiration for Shuul remaining in his heart.

After all, in the past, Xuel rarely showed his strength in front of him.

And in the past six months, because the main goal is to "train Takson", there will naturally not be too many battles.

call out----

A bluish-purple figure flew out from the huge hole blasted out by the white energy, followed by countless flying objects.

If you look closely, you will find that the other person is holding a black thing in his hand, and you don’t know what it is.

After it passed by, a strong wind blew out from the hole.

Raising his hands to shield his eyes from the wind, Takson stared intently at the golden trail in the sky that looked like a meteor.

He knew that it was the mark left by the teacher.

It’s so fast that I can’t see clearly. You are worthy of being a teacher!

But what was the teacher holding in his hand just now?

When Xuul passed by Takson, the latter could barely see the black unidentified object in Xuul's hand.

Finally, he drew a semicircle in the sky and returned to his students.

"Teacher, welcome back."

As soon as he landed, he summoned "flame" with his hand to destroy the piece of meat in his hand without leaving any residue. At this point, the demon named "Chard" completely disappeared from this world.

Although Xuul gave the other party a last chance, and the demon did not disappoint the expectation, it integrated itself with the abilities of almost all the monsters in the entire test field.

But in the end, he just became a punching bag for Xuul. Under the absolute firepower, everything was nothing.

After all, no matter what, the opponent is just a [Magician] and not a warrior. In addition, in such a small space, how could he gain an advantage over Xuel in close combat?

He could only be hung up, but fortunately, Child's fusion material provided "super regeneration" and various body strengthening abilities.

This also allows Shuel to collect enough data while "beating" the opponent to his heart's content.

He also copied and saved the analysis of its magic "Fusion Magic" into his own database, and his physical data and various personality habits were also recorded into the [Virtual Battle Field].

As for what exactly happened between Charles' demon and Shuul while they were underground, it is unknown.

I can only say that sometimes, having super strong vitality can also be a very painful thing, especially when facing an invincible enemy.

After doing all this, Takson also ran to him in a hurry.

The excited look on his face was just like a child who got a high score on the test and wanted to show off to his family.

"I passed this test!"

"Ah."

Without any extra words, Xuer just nodded to show that he understood.

"Uh, there's no more reaction."

"[Answer] Because I already know the specific situation, the 'clone' is my spy, so you don't need to report to me specifically."

My teacher has always been like this, always saying things that dampen enthusiasm.

But I didn't take it to heart, after all, I was used to it.

And now, there is another more important thing that attracts his attention.

"But teacher, when did you change your clothes?"

Takson pointed at the clothes on Xiuer and asked curiously.
