Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Obviously, it is not the case. These surviving demons are just "valuable" in Xuel's eyes.

"Angel?"

The Demon King stared directly at the culprit in the air who caused all this. The "holy" figure in his eyes made him subconsciously murmur this word.

During this period, he also kept a close eye on human intelligence.

Because his subordinate Shulahat had warned him that the demons would face a catastrophic disaster, a "future" that could not be avoided no matter what.

The only thing they can do is to survive as long as possible and not try to resist, as that is an invincible enemy.

However, due to unknown reasons, Shulahat was still unable to see the information about this individual, and his magic failed at this moment.

And just recently, he was finally able to see the incomplete information about Xuul and immediately began to plan.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, it was confirmed what he had said before, "There is no way to avoid it no matter what", this was an event that was destined to happen.

Now, Shulahat has taken a step forward for the future of the demon clan.

And as the Demon King, he will not give up for the future of the entire race.

He and a few big demons were able to survive temporarily because the other party did so on purpose. The Demon King was very clear about this, but he didn't know what the other party's true intention was.

But for now we can only take it one step at a time.

As if to confirm the Demon King's guess, the "angel" in the sky suddenly descended slowly and stood on the land that was originally the Demon King's castle.

From the moment his toes stepped on the ground, a certain barrier suddenly unfolded with this as the center. All the demons present felt that they were trapped in an unknown space.

It seems that the other party has no intention of letting anyone escape.

The "angel"'s gaze immediately locked onto the "Demon King", the strongest of the demon clan. The lifeless eyes were fixed on him, making the Demon King feel an inexplicable pressure.

He walked slowly forward, towards the angel, but before he had taken a few steps...

Puff-!

The angel's "wings" suddenly passed before his eyes, and the devil saw his arms flying in the air...

......

Chapter 56: Different Directions

The moment the Demon King saw his arm leave his body, his pupils shrank.

Although he is one of the most emotionally rich individuals among the demons, the Demon King also has the nature of a demon.

Originally, as he slowly walked into Xuul, the lost arm was accumulating magic. Even if the hope was slim, he would give it a try.

And the final result is obvious.

Xuul did not move at all. The devil's little movements could not escape his detection, of course, including the demons who were slowly approaching.

Due to the influence of the barrier, no one can escape from here.

Therefore, a trapped beast will still fight. Even the selfish nature of the demons will attack an enemy that they cannot defeat when there is no hope of survival.

Defeating Xuul is the only hope for these demons to survive, no matter how small the success rate is.

Since he landed, Xuer has been standing in the center of the barrier, waiting for the demons around him to approach, but while waiting, he is also keeping an eye on the movements of the Demon King.

Through the information brought by the clone, it was found that the demon king of that year was able to escape from his hands. It seems that the other party still has hidden means of saving his life.

Since he already knew it, he certainly wouldn't give the devil any chance.

At this moment, all the surviving demons have gathered here, in the center of the barrier, near Xuul.

They all hid, carefully observing the white figure. Although they no longer had any choice but to fight, they did not want to be the "first".

No one dared to rush forward first. Oh no, the Demon King was also the first one, but they didn't know it. They only saw that the Demon King had lost an arm.

But.

Originally, everyone thought that the man who blew up the Demon King's Castle would wait in the center of the barrier, waiting for them to come, so they planned to observe him for a while longer.

But suddenly, as if some conditions had been met, Xuer's gaze suddenly shifted away from the Demon King and looked around. With those lifeless eyes, no one knew what he saw in his eyes.

But they all had a bad feeling.

"[Confirmed] All personnel have arrived, carry out the annihilation operation."

At the same time, a very conspicuous "golden passage" appeared around everyone nearby except the Demon King.

......

......

a few minutes ago.

"Folamei, why didn't the teacher let us go together?"

"I guess Sister Xiuer must have her own plans."

"It's the same as if you didn't say anything."

On Takson's side, he was still upset about the fact that Xuer asked him and others to wait there.

He didn't like this arrangement, as if in the eyes of his teacher, he was still a useless child.

It was a rare opportunity to have a "death battle" with the demons, but the teacher actually decided to go alone.

Yes, after dealing with Shulahat, Xuer went back and explained everything to his two apprentices before going to the Demon King's City.

Although he was very dissatisfied, the always obedient Takson finally chose to find an open space, sit on the ground, take out the magic book in his bag and read it quietly to pass the time.

"Are you reading the grimoire?"

At some point, Volame, who was free, came behind Takson, looked over his shoulder, and saw the contents of the book in his hand.

"Well, is something wrong?"

He was not in a good mood at the moment, but he couldn't vent his unhappiness on others. Besides, Volame was also Xiuer's apprentice, so he responded in the end.

"As I recall, in your situation, you wouldn't be able to make further progress in the field of 'magic', right?"

What Volame was referring to was, of course, the fact that the training methods of a warrior and a magician were two completely opposite paths. Logically, Takson should not be able to use any spells other than "Goddess Magic".

Takson didn't take it seriously, even though it was once his dream.

"It's just my interest."

"Besides, it's not like I don't know any magic at all."

"Ok?"

If you take two paths at the same time, you will end up with no improvement on either side.

She originally thought that Takson should be someone who has reached the pinnacle of being a warrior, but the result seems to be different from what she expected?

Volame immediately became curious.

"How about a demonstration?"

"..."

He looked back at Volame's curious eyes. Even though her figure had grown to a good level now, in Takson's eyes, Volame's curious expression was the same as that of the little girl back then, without any change.

Since it wasn't a big deal, Takson agreed.

"Actually, besides the goddess' magic, I don't know much."

As he spoke, Takson cast a "strengthening" type of magic on himself.

"Hmm...it's a magic that enhances yourself. It suits your usual fighting style very well."

Volame was also observing carefully, but the magic used by Takson was something she already possessed. After all, they were all taught by the Shuul sect, so it was reasonable that the teaching materials were the same.

At this moment, both of them felt the ground shaking.

"what happens?"

"do not know."

They looked in a certain direction at the same time. That was the direction where Xuer had left before, and also the direction of the Demon King's City.

Because at this moment, a dazzling white light appeared in that direction, covering the entire sky...

......

----

......

"..."

"..."

"Xuer" stood quietly on a piece of wasteland.

All around him were countless headless corpses lying on the ground, and among the countless corpses, only a pink-haired demon was still standing.

Aura.

In the original novel, it is an elite monster that Fulilian and her group fought in the main story.

As one of the Seven Collapse Sages, a great demon who has lived for over five hundred years, Aura possesses extremely powerful "control" abilities.

Unfortunately, facing an old creature that had lived for thousands of years, the magic power she accumulated was completely incomparable to that of Frelian, so she was brushed off by Frelian like a wild monster.

In the original work, from Shul's personal point of view, the highlight of that plot was the battle scene between Frillian's two companions and Aura's two subordinates.

No matter what others say, those are the contents he likes.

However, now that the future has changed drastically due to his own reasons, the direction of the plot has shifted.

Aura did not become the "Seven Collapse Sages". She was just a great demon with special magic. The term "Seven Collapse Sages" has never appeared in this world.

Aura is also different from the original. She was one of the few surviving demons, or in other words, she was not born when the Demon King Castle incident occurred.

By the time she was born, demons were already legendary creatures, essentially rare animals.

It took some effort for Xuul to find Aura.

The golden eyes looked at the pink-haired demon in front of him as if he was looking at prey. Although he said so, the expression control of the clone was actually non-existent.

This meaning was just Aura's guess, because right now she really was like a prey cornered by the hunter.

Da, da... click

The sound of dead branches being stepped on.

As Shul's figure got closer and closer, Aura's expression finally began to collapse.

"You...don't come over here!"

She recognized it.

That was a story widely circulated among the demons, the story of the early days of the demons' collapse, and the story of the culprit who caused all of this.

"Pure White Monster"

......

Chapter 57: The Demonic Tribe's "Disaster"

The unknown lines on the skin, those eyes that were inorganic and devoid of any water, that body that carried no trace of life...

Except for the blue-purple hair color which was different from the rumor, everything matched the image in the story perfectly.

Aura couldn't possibly resist such a being. Her proud "Obedience Magic" was only effective when it was influenced by the magical power of both parties.

Previously, she had relied on her accumulation of more than 500 years to dare to go out and roam freely. Facing that old thing from a thousand years ago, her magic power was not enough.

Aura's "servants", that is, the headless knights were all destroyed by Xuer's "purification". The obedience magic on their bodies was lifted, and their bodies that had long lost their lives were actually corpses controlled by magic.

Then, raging flames suddenly appeared on the corpses and quickly spread throughout the pile of corpses. The fallen corpses turned into ashes in the scorching flames and returned to the earth.

This was done by Shuul, and these people who were forced to become servants finally rested in peace.

Originally, Xuer planned to clear out all the soldiers and force Aura to use the "Obedience Magic" on him. Unfortunately, no matter how scared the other party was, his mind still remained clear.

No matter what, the only thing in Aura's mind was "run", and he didn't even have the slightest thought of fighting back.
