Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Quick, half of the credit for this looting goes to you. That magic to control the monsters is amazing. From now on, you will be the second-in-command of our village!"

"Thank you, boss!"

It turned out that some time ago, a magician who claimed to be able to use [magic to control monsters] joined this bandit village.

At first, the bandit leader didn't believe this. In his eyes, the magician looked thin and had no fighting power at all.

But he also understood how magical [magic] was.

So, out of curiosity, he ordered the magician to show him.

It wasn't until he saw that the other party was really able to control monsters as he said that he immediately came up with a plan in his mind.

Action speaks louder than words. Just yesterday, he took the magician with him and when he met a caravan that happened to be passing by, he asked the magician to use magic to control some monsters to attack the caravan.

The whole process went extremely smoothly, and they successfully robbed a caravan without any casualties.

And because they were killed by monsters, no one would suspect the bandits, so there would be no army to wipe out them.

This is a perfect plan.

And all this is thanks to that magician.

So in order to make the other party loyal, he immediately chose to improve his status in the village.

Then, after the pre-dinner speech, the bandit leader gave an order and his subordinates began to have a feast and revelry.

Looking at the revelry of more than a hundred of his followers below, the bandit leader felt extremely happy.

We have a bright future!

He could already imagine how his gang of bandits would become successful in the future.

Little do they know that their judgment is about to come.

While reveling in the cave...

Several soldiers who were guarding the cave entrance and on guard against anyone approaching were sitting on the ground chatting with each other to pass the time. They were the first to finish eating, so they were arranged to replace their previous companions.

Several people leaned casually against the wall, talking and laughing with each other.

"That newcomer got the boss's special attention."

"Of course not. I heard he's a magician. Yesterday, the boss led him to successfully plunder a caravan, and no one was injured."

"Magicians, those magics are really amazing. I want to learn them too."

"Forget it, just you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop talking, I see someone approaching."

A soldier who was not participating in the conversation suddenly saw a figure appear in the woods in the distance.

He quickly reminded his companions and got ready.

Several people hurriedly picked up the weapons placed aside and came to the cave entrance. From the watchtower on the village gate, they looked out at the woods that hid the cave entrance.

rustling --

After a while, the true face of that figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, a girl, only 1.55 meters tall and with long blue-purple hair, emerged from the woods...

......

Chapter 34: Kill!

Puff! x3

Three headless corpses fell to the ground. Xuul stood in front of the cave, staring into the dark cave with a pair of glowing golden eyes.

"Complete exploration of the cave's terrain..."

"Cave count complete... Target individuals... 142."

"Teacher, this is the bandits' lair, right?"

Taking the battle axe that had been with him for many years, Taksen stepped over the corpse and came to Xuul's side.

He saw the light in his teacher's eyes, and years of experience with him made him immediately understand what his teacher was doing.

A few seconds later.

"[Confirmed] Investigation completed. This is the gathering place of the target group."

"[Question] Tucson, are you ready?"

"Oh, of course."

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand, and the expression on his face was no longer as gentle as before, leaving only cold murderous intent.

This trip was voluntarily suggested by Taksen to Xuer, asking him to go alone to wipe out this group of bandits, because after listening to Xuer's speculation, he became angry about this matter.

He actually dared to drive monsters to attack humans.

These guys can no longer be called human beings!

He wanted to inflict pain on these guys with his own hands and would not let them die easily.

Takson deeply understood his teacher's character. Shuul was very efficient when killing people. When facing enemies other than magicians, his teacher would always use the fastest way to end the other person's life.

In his opinion, the teacher is a kind-hearted person who cannot bear to see others suffer, so he will end the other person's life in an instant.

This also fits his imagination of "angels".

"[Reminder] The map data has been uploaded to the terminal. You can check it at any time."

The "terminal" that Xiuer mentioned was the small device that he had given to Takson before. It was worn in his ear. As long as the user pressed the button on it with his finger, an operation panel would be projected in front of the user.

There are multiple functions on it.

The previous "talk" with Shuul and the current "map" are also one of its functions.

One thing needs to be clarified, the data of this device is always synchronized with Xiuer's database.

Of course, all the data in this regard was unilaterally approved by Xuer himself and selectively transferred to Takson's device database.

"Then teacher, you just stay up there and watch over Alice. I'll be back soon."

"..."

Takson didn't care whether Xiuer responded or not, because he was already used to this way of getting along.

But just before he was about to enter the cave.

"[Reminder] Stay in touch at all times to ensure the situation is stable."

"......it is good."

......

After bidding farewell to Takson who had entered the bandit stronghold, Xuer did not stop for a moment and looked outside the stronghold gate.

There, there was a blonde girl, leaning against the door, carefully looking at the scene inside.

......

----

......

"..."

"..."

The scene was unusually quiet.

Alice and Xiuer sat quietly on the seats at the entrance of the mountain stronghold, which were originally used by the guards to rest. The bodies of the three bandits who had been killed earlier had been burned by Xiuer.

They just waited quietly for Tuxon's return.

The reason why Xiuer was not worried about his apprentice fighting against a hundred people alone was because he had installed a "life-saving mechanism" on the device he gave to the other party.

That device would only be triggered if fatal injuries were detected on Takson's body.

A space channel leading to Xuer will open in an instant, and at this moment the power of the specially prepared [Four Bullets] will be released.

However, this function is one-time only, and you need to find Xiuer to replenish energy after using it.

So now, Xuer is waiting for the opportunity for Takson to be sent back.

At that time, he will follow the coordinates of the opened passage to carry out the task of eliminating the bandit's nest on his behalf.

It would be a good thing if Takson could really clear this bandit's nest alone.

But Alice, who was standing beside him, had no idea what Xiuer was thinking.

So, in her opinion.

Xiuer actually trusted his apprentice to challenge an entire bandit stronghold alone!?

Although she did not hear the results of Xiuer's scan of the stronghold, she could roughly guess the approximate number of people there based on its scale.

Are you so confident in your apprentice?

But Alice, who was still confused, immediately thought of the scene when Takson saved her life.

That terrifying monster was defeated with one strike...

It seems that the benefactor is indeed very powerful.

It seems that my benefactor's strength is even greater than I imagined.

Thinking of this, Alice's thoughts suddenly became much clearer.

The worry on his face was wiped away.

At this moment, Xuer glanced at the blonde girl next to him, whose expression was changing wildly.

He was always paying attention to the girl's condition, so all the changes in her facial expressions were recorded accurately, but Xuer could not read minds, so naturally he did not know what the girl was thinking.

So, he began to worry about Alys's mental state.

Could it be that this child has developed mental problems after experiencing that incident?

So, Xiuer began to think about the knowledge related to [psychiatric treatment].

Fortunately, in his previous life, he downloaded a lot of information from various online channels, including knowledge in this area.

A small misunderstanding was born.

......

......

In the village...

ah----!

"my hand!"

“Ah! —My legs!!”

"I surrender! Please spare me, ah——!"

......

The sounds of weapons clashing and people screaming came one after another.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the many bandits who were originally enjoying a carnival banquet had lost their previous cheerful atmosphere.

Each of them held a weapon in their hands and confronted the black-haired young man in front of them.

Takson looked at the faces of the bandits indifferently. He didn't care about their appearance because these scum were not worthy of him remembering their faces.

"Suffer to death!"

"The goddess's spear."

Puff-!
