Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

While complaining, Philen took off the coat of the elf who was already dizzy from the heat and released "temperature-lowering magic" to cool him down.

Suddenly, the giant unidentified object in the distance gradually rose higher, and a huge dragon-shaped monster appeared in front of everyone.

A pair of red dragon eyes swept across everyone present, and invisible pressure enveloped them. Although the monster did not attack immediately, the aura it revealed was enough to make everyone take it seriously.

"Look, that's it!?"

"It seems this is the monster the examiner was talking about."

"This is a monster I've never seen before. Where did you find this, instructor?"

"A monster capable of bringing natural disasters... The very name reveals the monster's power."

"Hehe, whether it's strong or weak, you'll know after trying it."

Xiuer saw all the reactions of the candidates. It can be said that they were indeed elites who had passed the first two rounds of assessments. They did not lose their composure even when faced with powerful monsters they had never seen before.

But he didn't want this group of people and the monster to continue to confront each other like this. His eyes passed through the crowd and aimed at the monster's pupils.

The next second, the monster's pupils suddenly dilated.

"throat----!!!"

A sharp dragon roar like metal friction came out of the monster's mouth, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

Looking at the group of people in front of him who were stunned by the dragon's roar, Xiuer was not surprised.

At the same time, Xuer also noticed that the moment the Black Dragon roared, its mouth was filled with flames and its eyes were locked on him.

A fireball flew out of his mouth, aiming directly at Xuul.

"Be careful! Everyone, get out of the way!"

The first person to recover immediately noticed the Black Dragon's movements and came out to alert the others.

Everyone evacuated the area that would be attacked by monsters before the fireball arrived, except Xuer who remained motionless.

In the eyes of the Black Dragon, the fireball hit its target squarely. At the same time as the power in the fireball "hit" Shuul, part of the energy was also injected into the area under Shuul's feet. Then, layer after layer of flames spread outward with Shuul's feet as the center.

This scene was also seen by the other candidates. They saw with their own eyes that Xuul, the examiner, did not try to dodge and was wrapped in the fireball all over his body. Then the gradually expanding range of the fire explosion almost affected them.

The Black Dragon, having taken the initiative, did not pursue further. After spewing out the fireball, it kept its distance and watched the movement in the flames from a distance.

This action also gave everyone time to think about the current situation.

The examiner is gone just like that?

"The examiner was hit by that fireball, and he didn't even cast a single defensive spell?"

"I don't think the examiner can be defeated so easily. She must have other means of defense."

"I think the examiner who followed us in might not be the real person, but just an illusion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided that attack."

"Lady Fulilian, Lady Shul?"

"Don't worry, Philen, this level of damage won't hurt that guy, even if it's just a clone."

Fulilian was not worried about the comfort of this clone. After giving Philen a reassuring answer, she observed the Black Dragon curiously.

After all, only a few people care about Shuul, and the rest of the people focus their attention on the Black Dragon.

Sure enough, as Fulilian said, when the flames dissipated, Xuul appeared in the same place unharmed.

His gaze swept across the crowd, across the faces with different expressions, and finally stopped at the Black Dragon in the distance, whose whole body was tense.

After all, it is just a magical beast with some thoughts, and it is impossible for it to be like a real Black Dragon.

Although it was easy for Xuer to defeat the black dragon, it was a difficult problem for the candidates. If he, the person who set the questions, helped to solve them, what else was there to test?

"[Reminder] This dragon is called the Brilliant Black Dragon, and it is the target of this round of assessment. Whether you can repel it is the key to your passing."

"[Additional] Don't waste your only three chances."

After he finished speaking, Xuer took off into the air on the spot. When the Black Dragon's chariot was halfway there, he flew high into the sky and [disappeared] in the air in the eyes of the Black Dragon and others.

Xuul left, the Black Dragon's biggest enemy disappeared, and there was no longer any trace of that guy around.

His anger then dissipated, and he turned to look at the human being whom he had originally ignored.

The word "human" was the knowledge that was ingrained into the Black Dragon the moment it was created by Shuul.

Originally, he didn't care when he found these humans entering his territory. Would you care about the ants under your feet?

But now it’s different. He knows that this group of humans was brought in by Xuul.

This is like having a cockroach with its entire family in your house! (Although this cockroach can pin Him to the ground and beat Him)

The Black Dragon was about to use the same trick again, wanting to use fireballs to snipe all targets from a long distance.

But suddenly several white lights appeared in the field of vision.

bang bang bang-

Philen made the first move. When she saw the monster making the fire-breathing gesture again, she immediately reacted and bombarded the Black Dragon's head with continuous demon-killing magic.

The frequency of the machine gun immediately covered the Black Dragon's vision with almost white, but did not interrupt his accumulation of power. Because he had lost his vision, he could only spit the flames from his mouth towards the angle he remembered.

However, after Philen took action, others were not idle either and began their own actions.

Aided by Philen's suppressive fire, the rest of the group dispersed.

As expected, the fireball hit the open space.

"It doesn't feel right."

Philen, who was continuously attacking, immediately noticed something was wrong. Just like a warrior can judge the situation based on the feel of his weapon hitting the object, a magician can also judge the situation based on the effect of his attack.

In layman's terms, it is the "feel".

Philen discovered that his attack did not actually cause any damage to the monster called the Black Dragon, or to be more precise, it had no effect other than the vision block caused by magic.

Her attacks couldn't even push the opponent's head.

It was very powerful. The monster made Philen feel powerless just by doing nothing.

However, Philen's efforts were not in vain. The others also took advantage of the opportunity when the Black Dragon's vision was blocked to display their abilities.

Suddenly, all kinds of magic appeared in this red space. The originally vast lava plate suddenly began to shatter from the edge, and piece after piece of debris floated into the air and smashed into the body of the Black Dragon.

Boom boom boom——!

The area under the feet of the Yuhuang Black Dragon suddenly changed. The originally flat ground suddenly began to mutate, and piles of spikes emerged from the ground.

Although none of them could break through the monster's hard scales, the remaining rock spikes shot upwards unhindered. Then several stone pillars made of lava blocked the Black Dragon's limbs, trapping it in place.

At the same time, a white-haired man stared at the monster intently, and two golden halos wrapped around the black dragon's body.

That was one of this man's magics, a magic that could make the target in his sight unable to move.

He also did this to strengthen his control over the monsters.

Immediately afterwards, various attack magics came one after another, bombarding the Black Dragon's body everywhere.

There were continuous explosions and roars, and suddenly smoke rose up, but the splashing smoke was pierced and dissipated by subsequent magic.

At this moment, everyone's cooperation was perfect, and everyone performed their duties.

It seems that there were similar difficulties in the last round of Zanze's test. Xuer thought so as he floated silently in the air above and quietly watched the scene below.

Yes, Xiuer did not leave. He was still in this primary space in order to absolutely guarantee the safety of the candidates.

He simply used [Optical Camouflage] to hide his figure and completely conceal his "breath", creating the illusion that he had already left.

The main purpose of this action is to prevent the Black Dragon from attacking him without caring about anything else.

If Xiuer has to bear all the responsibilities, then there will be no point in this assessment.

Everyone cooperated well and got a good score from Xuul, but the key to passing was whether they could repel the Black Dragon.

His Black Dragon is not such a simple monster.

"【Conclusion】If you can't detect the change, your chance of winning is 0%."

......

----

......

Half a minute after the battle began, some people whose magic was not suitable for dealing with large monsters stood by and watched, while the others tried their best to attack the Black Dragon.

It seems that they want to destroy the dragon in one fell swoop.

Fulilian also participated in it, but she did not use her full strength right away. Instead, she saved her magic power and observed the condition of the monster while using ordinary demon-killing magic to attack.

She was the most experienced of the group and the one who knew Shuul best.

"Xuer couldn't possibly have set up a level that was so easy to pass. This monster must have something special about it."

Fulilian flew around the Black Dragon, observing its situation from different angles.

With its limbs fixed and the restraining magic on, the Black Dragon showed no signs of breaking free from the earthen prison. Intensive firepower covered the dragon's entire body.

She turned her head to look at Philen who was not far away. The other party had been maintaining such a fierce formula for a long time and seemed to have some strength left.

After confirming Philen's condition, Fulilian approached the Black Dragon again, wanting to observe the monster's condition more clearly.

Then, in the intervals between magic attacks, she was surprised to find that the purple-black scales were not damaged at all, only covered with a little dust.

"How could it be unscathed by such an attack?"

Could it be the same characteristic as the Red Mirror Dragon?

But through observation, it can be found that this conjecture is immediately broken. The Black Dragon and the Red Mirror Dragon are completely different, and Xuul would not set up a level that is impossible to pass.

Then Fulilian quickly went to the other side, wanting to see what was happening there.

She suddenly noticed that there were some minor injuries on the Black Dragon's body.

How did this happen?

At this moment, a ray of ice magic passed by her and hit the Black Dragon.

The already damaged area was further aggravated, and although the change was not significant, Fulilian could immediately notice the difference.

"This is?"

She looked at the scales covered with cold air and had some guesses in her mind.

Having observed the key to breaking the deadlock, Fulilian immediately flew away from the Black Dragon and stopped right above the dragon.

A magic circle appeared under her feet.

In an instant, white merged into the red space, and a fierce icy wind and snow surged out of the magic circle, covering the entire body of the monster below. Irregular objects with a diameter of more than ten meters condensed from ice appeared above the dragon.

It seems that Fulilian has discovered the weakness of the Black Dragon, and she is now preparing to give it a fatal blow.

"Hey, do you feel a little cold?"

"How can it not be cold in such a big snowstorm?"

"throat----!!!!"

Suddenly, the unexpected dragon roar stunned everyone again in an instant. Fulilian endured the pain in her eardrums and smashed the ice that had already formed.

After doing all this, she covered her ear which was bleeding slightly and slowly landed on the ground.

Boom boom boom——————!!!

One after another, huge blocks of ice as big as mountains smashed into the back of the Black Dragon. The potential energy of the fall carried it into the ground, and the earthen prison that was originally used to fix the monster was also destroyed.

His figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

The remaining impact entered the ground, causing a large earthquake. Fortunately, the plates under their feet were still solid, and Frillian's attack did not destroy everyone's foothold.

As soon as Fulilian returned to the ground, Philen rushed to her side and began to check her condition.

Then she saw Fulilian's bleeding ear.

"Lady Fulilian, your ears?!"

"..."

"Lord Frilian?"

When he found that Fulilian did not respond to his words, Philen, who was originally anxious, suddenly felt confused.

"Ah, Philen, you're here."
