Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Stop shaking, stop shaking!"

"I'm not blind, of course I saw it."

"If you ask me, that is definitely some powerful magic, and it is a 'new' magic that I have never seen before."

"I guess some genius created this. Wow, this power is incredible."

Unlike his frightened friend, he was relatively calm and had already recovered from his surprise. He looked at the golden color in the sky that had not yet disappeared, and marveled at it.

The same thing is happening all over the world.

All human countries located on the central and northern continental plates also witnessed this horrifying scene.

The originally peaceful sky was torn apart by a golden ray of light. The entire sky was dyed golden, the clouds in that area were blown away, and the monsters and birds in the sky were turned into "ashes" under the illumination of this light.

No one knows where this energy came from. They simply saw the horror of this energy. This scene will probably become an image that those people will never forget for years.

As for what actions those countries will take in response to this matter, that is another matter...

At the same time, in the Demon King's Castle located in the northernmost part of the continent.

The demons were all without exception. They all saw the energy column that shot straight into the sky, and then turned into a dazzling golden sky.

The demons stared blankly into the distance.

A [magic] that has never been seen before, a [magic] that can change the celestial phenomena. The demons are born with a sense of magic, but that energy is too far away. They can only see its shape but cannot sense its power.

But just by looking at it, you should be able to judge the power contained in that light.

The devil was no exception. He sat on his throne, looking out the window of the palace. The golden sky on the horizon made him lose his mind for a moment.

As the king of this demon world where strength is respected, he naturally possesses the strongest strength in the entire demon clan.

"what is that?"

Even a being like the Demon King, after seeing that ray of light, even though he was a demon with weak emotions, showed an emotion similar to [surprise].

"big boss."

The next second, his loyal subordinates arrived here.

"Outside......"

"No need to say more, I have seen it."

"I can sense that the being that unleashed that attack is much more powerful than I am."

The Demon King's words surprised even his subordinates.

The strongest being in the demon clan, the Demon King, actually admitted that he was inferior to an unknown being.

But the stronger a person is, the more likely he is to have that kind of "intuition" that allows him to guess the other person's identity based on his feelings.

The demons are no exception.

But even so, he did not lose the "heart" to fight that existence. He was one of the few demons with richer emotions.

Therefore, the Demon King also has his own ideal, which I will not go into detail about. In order to achieve that ideal, he cannot die so easily.

Yes, it was absolutely right. His intuition told him that if he fought that unknown being, the only outcome would be his own death. There were no coincidences, no ifs, no chances...

This is really a wonderful feeling.

This was what the Demon King was thinking at the moment, but he did not tell his subordinates.

......

A girl with orange-yellow hair was sitting in front of the window, carefully reading a thick magic book.

In her room, there are magic books of different sizes and contents. Each one is carefully placed and neatly arranged without any dust on them, which shows the meticulousness of its owner.

After a while, he seemed to be tired of watching.

The girl closed the book in front of her and rubbed her slightly tired eyes.

Then, to relax, she looked out the window. The blue sky, the clouds of various shapes, and the occasional birds passing by made her feel soothed.

At this time, she completely unbuttoned her sleeves, revealing the platinum "bracelet" on her wrist.

The workmanship is very ordinary, without any patterns or carvings. It looks like just an ordinary ring, but to this girl, it seems to be a very important item.

A pair of emerald green eyes stared at the bracelet intently, and the girl gently stroked the decoration on her wrist.

This year, Volame is already 12 years old and has grown a lot. She is no longer the short loli she was in her youth. The magic books placed in her room were all farewell gifts given to her by her sister Shul.

Her parents also supported her in learning magic, and sometimes she would even ask her parents for advice when she didn't understand something.

In addition, there is this "bracelet".

At that time, she was only 8 years old, and it was given to her by Xiuer when they met alone.

"【Answer】This is a "tool" that can help you in the future "magic" field."

This was the only explanation Shuul gave, without elaborating further.

At first, Volame didn't know what the function of this prop was.

Shuul did not teach her, the girl had to figure everything out on her own.

Fortunately, she has figured out some of the functions of the "bracelet" so far.

It is just as my sister said, this item can really help me use magic better.

She used the index finger of her other hand to press on the small piece of black "glass" on the bracelet.

"Fingerprint authentication successful, booting up... Booting up successfully."

Following a mechanical synthesized sound that only she could hear, the bracelet on her wrist began to glow with a golden light.

"Magic to restore energy."

The light on the bracelet grew brighter, and then a magic circle appeared under her feet.

"Hmm~ This is much more comfortable now."

"Reminder, magic [Energy Recovery] inventory 3-2."

This is one of the functions of the bracelet.

【Magic Storage】

It can [capture] and [store] spells that are about to be released or have already been released, so that the user can release them when needed in the future.

This is also the most practical function that Volame has found so far.

Over the years, she has stored a lot of magic in this bracelet, and she has stored a lot of each spell, especially those with huge casting time.

With the help of the bracelet, Volame can cast instant magic at any time and place without any pre-swing or casting action.

For example, she just fought there, without dodging or evading, without any other movements, and suddenly the magic hit the enemy and exploded in the face.

When he thought that this prop was delivered to him personally by Xuul, Volame felt happier.

In the past few years, in the eyes of his parents, the child often smiled foolishly at the bracelet on his hand.

At first they didn't understand the meaning of the bracelet, until they asked Volame and got an explanation, they felt relieved.

However, at this moment, a sudden change in the sky alarmed the people of the entire city, including Volame.

Amid the people's shouts of surprise, fear, or excitement, Volame also looked towards the distant horizon, the sky dyed golden by a golden beam of light.

"It's an angel! It's the great angel who has appeared again!"

At that time, after Xuel and Celia fought and revealed the [Divine Spiritual Armor] and transformed into [Angels], a large number of citizens who witnessed everything became new believers in the city's church.

They had naturally seen Xuul's [Golden Energy], so they guessed the answer right away.

In the time that followed, these believers traveled around, spreading the angel's deeds. In addition to exterminating monsters, they also made up many "stories". Now, those missionaries have made the angel Shuul seem supernatural.

Volame also listened to some stories out of curiosity, and then she felt that Sister Shuul in the story was completely different from her image of her.

But then I thought about it, it’s exciting to think about knowing a secret that so many people don’t know.

Ah, I forgot about Brother Takson. But now Brother Takson should still be traveling with Sister Xiuer. I haven’t seen them for four years. I wonder if they have changed.

Amid the people's shouts, Volame vaguely guessed that the golden energy was indeed created by Sister Shuul herself.

That's Sister Shuul's [magic]!

Sister Xiuer, you are really strong.

She ran out of the door, looking at the golden sky in the distance that was undergoing a strange change, and her admiration for Xuel grew even deeper.

I must work harder to catch up with my sister! At least, I should be able to follow her.

Thinking of this, Volame immediately came to his senses and no longer cared about the changes outside. Instead, he returned to his room and continued studying magic.

......

......

Takson looked at the half-collapsed maze in front of him with a look of confusion on his face.

Ah this...

Thinking back to what happened just now, after I killed the teacher's clone, a clone sister suddenly pulled my collar, lifted me up, and put on a layer of shield.

Takson, who didn't understand what was happening, was about to ask when a dazzling golden light burst out from the suddenly cracked wall on one side and swept directly across the place where he was just now.

The walls of the maze did not pose any obstacle to this energy. The moment they came into contact with it, they turned into countless tiny pieces.

In the next few seconds, Takson could hear the sound of the maze walls being "chiselled" one by one.

Because he was facing the impact of this energy at close range and the scene was so spectacular, Takson's brain was unable to react for a moment.

Therefore, when he left the maze later, it was Xuer's clone who took him away.

At this moment, Takson, who was outside the maze with Xiuer, still showed no signs of recovery.

This made Xiuer, who had thought he would only have to wait a few seconds, a little impatient.

"[Reminder] Takson, the maze raid is over. It's time to regain your composure."

Xiuer raised his hand and walked in front of his apprentice. Due to his height, he had to float up to the same level as Takson.

A pair of lifeless golden eyes suddenly appeared in his field of vision, instantly pulling Takson's "soul" back.

"Teacher...what was that just now...?"

"【Answer】My attack."

"Teacher's attack?"

Takson raised his head and looked at the sky that had been dyed golden. The golden light shone through the clouds and onto the earth.

Everything here seemed to be dyed with color, and everything became golden and shining.

"nice......"

Staring at the scenery in a trance, Takson suddenly murmured this word.

Looking at the golden flowers at his feet, Takson was curious and wanted to pick them up to take a closer look.

But what he didn't expect was that his action was interrupted by Xuer.

"[Warning] Do not touch anything here."

"Eh?"

Takson looked at Xiuer blankly. He couldn't understand why the other party suddenly issued such a warning.

But because of his trust in the teacher, he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"【Answer】Right now, all the 'golden things' in this area have the ability to 'poison' all living things."

Xiuer's eyes were fixed on Takson's, and the words he said made the latter's heart, which had been relaxed by the beautiful scenery, suddenly rise to his throat.

"this....?"

He didn't understand why this happened.
