Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

After all, it was not a secret, so Xuer told the reason without thinking.

——Xuer is explaining——

After Xuer's simple and easy-to-understand description, the two disciples finally understood the whole story.

At this time, the two people's reactions were also different.

Volame was still calm, but after knowing that someone was plotting against Xuer, Takson immediately became impetuous. In easy-to-understand terms, he was almost furious.

Because of his relationship with Shul, Takson always puts him first in his heart.

Now that he knows someone is plotting against Xiuer, how could he possibly endure it?

"That damn demon, I must chop off his head with my own hands."

"Brother Takson, calm down. Look, Teacher Xiuer didn't say anything."

Xuul looked at Takson calmly, without any sign of anger on his face.

"..."

Xiuer didn't say anything because he had seen this situation many times. Whenever something related to him, Takson was more excited than he was.

Xiuer had reminded them of this several times, but to little effect.

Moreover, although he was quite excited, Takson was able to complete his subsequent tasks and battles in an orderly manner, so Xuer didn't say anything more.

......

----

......

"Sister, there's someone in front."

Volame, who had been using [Detection Magic], immediately reported the situation to Xiuer after discovering someone in front.

However, when she sent people, Xuel had already found out the number and characteristics of the target individuals.

There are three individuals in total, two humans, and... one demon?

Xuer analyzed the information he had obtained. It was an incredible thing that humans and demons were together. There must be some reason behind it.

A little closer, into Xiuer's audio inspection range.

"Sir, the village is just ahead. I hope you can leave some for us when the time comes."

"..."

"Brother, isn't the demon tribe full of lies? Can we really trust them?"

"Nonsense, of course I can't believe it, but we have no choice but to do this to survive."

"By the way, have you ever seen a human girl with blue-purple hair?"

"Huh? Bluish-purple hair... No, I've never seen that before."

"Really? Then you're useless."

“Sizzle—”

"My Lord, what are you going to do——!"

"Brother! Damn demons, I'll fight you--"

"..."

The above is the audio that Xiuer stole in real time.

The two living beings disappeared, and Volame immediately discovered this.

"Sister, I don't know why two people are suddenly missing. Could they be hiding?"

"[Negative] Prepare to engage the enemy."

Xiuer didn't explain anything. After reminding his two disciples, he immediately opened a golden passage, walked in, and disappeared in front of the two.

Takson and Volame looked at each other, looking at the golden door that was extremely familiar to them. The unclosed passage indicated that it was specially reserved for them.

Although they didn't know what was happening, the two of them still followed Xiuer's pace.

When they crossed the passage and came to the other side, the scene they saw was Xuul flying in the air, his delicate hands pinching the neck of a "person" taller than him.

No, the pair of huge horns on that person's head indicated that he was a demon.

At this moment, Xiuer was flying in the air and pinching a demon.

In addition, there were two humanoid corpses lying on the ground, their bodies charred by electricity.

There is no need to guess the culprit behind all this.

"You... are what Master Shulahat was talking about..."

Even though his body was controlled, the demon did not care about his own safety. Instead, he immediately confirmed Xuer's characteristics, but the latter did not let the other party continue speaking.

He instantly used [Memory Search] and squeezed out everything the other party knew. Then, golden light gathered on the hand that was pinching his neck.

After directly blowing up the demon's head, Xuer landed in front of his two disciples who were eating melons.

"How's it going, teacher? Any new findings?"

Takson knew what Shule had done.

"[Suspicion] yielded no results."

"?"

"[Additional] Apart from knowing that it was Shulahat who sent them to stop us, we didn't gain anything."

This demon didn't know the inside story, and Shulahat didn't reveal much information when he sent him to die.

The only information is his address.

The demon named Shulahat was no longer in the Demon King's Castle, but was hiding somewhere in the far east of the Demon King's Castle. However, without the coordinates, he could not directly open a "portal" to reach the other party.

Moreover, this memory is no longer timely, and the information about Shulahat is from half a month ago.

It looked like he was avoiding Shuul's pursuit, but...it was completely like a lure, deliberately leading him away from the direction of the Demon King's Castle.

But the current intelligence is still too little, and Xuer still cannot figure out Shulahat's specific purpose.

He had to have more information.

......

Poof—

Pulling the battle axe out of the corpse, Takson ignored the demon corpse that was gradually turning into ashes on the ground. He looked at the sky and recalled his recent experiences.

Another half month has passed now.

During these short ten days, the number of attacks from the demons gradually increased.

Now their team of three is facing harassment from countless demon teams.

Every time after defeating an enemy, Shuul would search their memories to find out the coordinates of Shulahat.

Now, Shul, who has enough information, also speculates on Shulahat's general purpose.

The intelligence collected along the way was all intentional by the other party.

The purpose is to lure him, Xuul, to a specific location, and they are willing to sacrifice such a large number of demons for this. It seems that the other party already has a trump card to deal with him.

But what it is exactly is not clear, and Xuer is also very curious.

But he has made all the necessary preparations and will make sure Shulahat never returns!

What you prepare yourself will definitely bring unexpected surprises to the other person.

"Teacher, I feel like there are more and more demon ambushes recently. There are already more than a dozen demons heading towards us."

Although he had killed many demons before, Takson felt that he could not withstand such consumption after encountering dozens of demons continuously in half a month if it were not for Xuer's logistical support.

"I feel the same way."

Volame echoed from the side. Her powerful talent began to shine under Xuul's guidance. Now that Volame has mastered a lot of magic, she has already shown some of the characteristics of the character in the original book.

When facing the demons, he is always at ease.

But after experiencing what happened these days, she also felt that something was wrong.

"I always feel that these demons have some conspiracy."

"[Agree]"

"The teacher has discovered it, too."

Since Xiuer has already discovered the problem, why should he accept the other party's plan?

Volame was worried, but Takson really didn't have any worries at all, because he believed that his teacher could easily solve any problems he encountered.

And that Shulahat will regret provoking his teacher.

"[Confirmed] The coordinates have been analyzed and the target location has been successfully locked."

This time, the demon's memory contained the specific coordinates of Shulahat. It seemed that the other party was finally ready to meet him this time.

In fact, Xiuer didn't take the tug-of-war that lasted for half a month to heart.

Because his analysis of this world through his prose is close to 100%.

No matter how much the other party delays, Xuer can directly search for the other party's location.

And Shulahat, who can observe the future, must also be aware of this. He doesn't have much time left, so the current situation has occurred.

After confirming the coordinates, Xuer opened the passage to Shulahat without thinking. A transmission passage across space appeared in front of him, and Shulahat was behind the door.

But before opening the "door", Shuul made a choice.

"[Notice] Takson, Volame, you don't need to follow."

"Eh?" x2

Takson and Volame were both dumbfounded.

No, why do you suddenly want to keep them?

I don’t know. Xuel didn’t give any explanation. After leaving this sentence, he opened the passage at a speed that the two of them could not see clearly and plunged into it, leaving them no time to react.

When they tried to keep him, Xiuer had disappeared.

"Uh, this."

Volame looked at Takson beside him, his eyes seemed to be asking him what to do.

"Look, I'm useless. I don't know."

Tucson is quite straightforward.

"Just trust the teacher."

"For now, this is the only way."

Volame, who originally wanted to use his wrist to directly search for Xuul's coordinates, also found that his connection with Xuul was also disconnected at this moment.

If I am in this situation, I am afraid that Tuxon will not be spared.

In other words, this time Xiuer was already prepared to face the enemy alone.

How could they, as disciples, change Xuer's decision?

In this case, we can only do as Takson said and wait for news from Xuer.

......

at the same time.

After crossing the Golden Gate, the scenery before my eyes changed drastically in an instant.

The eerie surroundings were filled with a strong ominous aura, and the floor beneath one's feet was cast with countless [magic spells], each of which had a very powerful sealing effect.

However, when Xuer stepped into this place, the moment his foot touched the ground, all the "sealing" magic became ineffective.

A demon man was standing in the center of the space. He was indifferent to Xuul who had stepped into this place, as if he was going to quietly accept his fate.

This person is Shulahat, the demon individual that Shul has been chasing for the past half month.

He raised his head and looked at Xiuer's face calmly.
