My two-dimensional resident

'Is he also an alien from another world captured by Ankhseram? Saito... that name sounds familiar. Never mind, fulfilling Zeref's promise is more important.'

Lin Tian stared at the elven girl in front of him for a moment, then spoke.

"Then you should go back quickly, it's very dangerous here. I should leave too."

After saying that, Lin Tian ignored the elf girl's reaction and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

"Ok?"

Seeing Lin Tian about to leave, the elven girl mustered her courage and let out a low growl. Seeing Lin Tian looking at her with a questioning gaze, she fearfully crossed her arms and whispered...

"I...I don't know how to leave here. I came to this Black Moon, but there is no Black Moon in this world. Can you take me back? I would be so grateful..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian didn't speak immediately. He silently stared at the elven girl before him. Receiving no response, the girl cautiously raised her head to look at Lin Tian. Realizing he was staring at her, she feigned fear and lowered her head again.

"What's your name?" Lin Tian asked.

“Tifania! A... half-elf.” Upon hearing this, the elven girl nervously replied to Lin Tian without hesitation. After stating that she was a half-elf, her face was filled with a humble expression.

"Tifania... Saito... Zero no Tsukaima...?"

Upon hearing the elf girl's name, Lin Tian recalled the name "Talent" she had mentioned earlier and immediately thought of the anime "The Familiar of Zero".

In Lin Tian's memory, "The Familiar of Zero" was a harem anime about a useless character who was transported to another world, became the chosen one, and saved beautiful women. Back then, as a middle school student, Lin Tian often fantasized about being transported to the world of "The Familiar of Zero," defeating the useless Saito, and collecting all the beautiful women in his life.

Looking at Tiffany, whom he had fantasized about before, Lin Tian unconsciously shifted his gaze to her overly voluptuous breasts.

'It's too big, bellflower is better.'

Lin Tian blushed, quickly averted his gaze, coughed a few times to banish his unhealthy thoughts, and spoke to Tiffany.

“I can take you away from here, and even send you back. But on the condition that you pay me a ton of gold.”

The fantasies of adolescence are ultimately just a thing of the past.

Tiffany is now just a stranger he casually rescued. Lin Tian will not develop any different feelings for her or treat her differently because of his fantasies from junior high school.

As the adorable owner of Rabbit Island, Lin Tian could easily send a "fallen" girl home. However, he wouldn't do such a losing business if there was no money to be made.

"Ah! A ton of gold!!! How much money would that be...?"

Upon hearing that Lin Tian could send her back to her hometown, Tiffany's face lit up with joy, but after hearing the conditions Lin Tian proposed, her expression turned worried again.

As a forest elf, Tiffany had never seen so much gold before.

"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean your friends don't. Don't worry, I won't ask for payment now. You can give it to me when you get back to your hometown. Now... stick close to me."

After saying that, Lin Tian turned around and flew into the sky, speeding towards the direction where the three different colored objects were falling.

Meanwhile, Tiffany, who was left on the ground, watched Lin Tian leave like that. She gritted her teeth, activated her magic, and chased after Lin Tian.

She couldn't be sure if Lin Tian had the ability to send her back, but her sixth sense told her that if she didn't follow Lin Tian now, she would be trapped in this world forever.

Chapter 316 Fulfilling the Promise (Part 1)

"Where is this? The world of the dead?"

When Tiffany used wind magic to catch up with Lin Tian, ​​who was hovering high in the sky, she was stunned by the sight before her.

Before them, through the mist, stretched an endless black sea. Floating on its surface were the greyish-white skeletons of various creatures.

An endless aura of death emanated from this place, which could be called the Sea of ​​Death, forming a mist that obscured their vision.

"Let's go. There might be real danger ahead, so be careful. Here, take this. If you encounter any danger, eat it."

Lin Tian handed an apple to Tiffany and said in a deep voice.

Upon seeing this endless sea of ​​death, his powerful Observation Haki sensed that something extremely terrifying existed beneath it.

Of course, this "extremely terrifying" description only applied to the weak, blond elf beside him. As for Lin Tian, ​​if these unknown creatures went mad and decided they didn't want to live, he wouldn't recommend intervening to send them to their deaths.

"An apple?"

After receiving the apple from Lin Tian, ​​Tiffany, who has a naturally naive personality, looked at the brightly colored and delicious-looking apple in her hand with a puzzled expression, somewhat at a loss.

Although Tiffany arrived in the Fairy Tail world a long time ago, she has always hidden in the forest and knows nothing about the outside world. However, the food she eats most in the forest is apples.

Now that she saw Lin Tian give her an apple, she thought he was just fooling her. Thinking about this, Tiffany's little face puffed up into two chubby buns, covered by a thin layer of red gauze.

"Ok?"

Lin Tian was puzzled when he saw Tiffany suddenly get angry, but he didn't ask any questions. After all, the most important thing right now was to leave this place and find Eileen and the others.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Startled by Lin Tian's gaze, Tiffany quickly lowered her head and apologized to him. After all, he had offered to take her back to his world, and Tiffany felt that her earlier thoughts had been a bit too much.

"Never mind, I'll take you there."

Lin Tian sensed that Tiffany's magic power had been reduced by 30%, and with her current strength, she was simply unable to pass through this Dead Sea filled with the aura of death.

He immediately grabbed her arm and, before she could react, used his flamethrower skill to fly towards the end of the Dead Sea.

"Ah~"

......

In the realm of the gods of Ankhseram, at night three moons, one crimson, one azure, and one emerald green, will cast their different lights upon the earth.

The three moons represent Ankhseram's three wives: the Scarlet Witch Anlo, the Sleeping Goddess Sioux, and the False Goddess Messiah.

During the day, the moon, representing the three gods, will fall into the Sea of ​​Death, and the temple of Ankhseram will appear high in the sky, filling the entire divine realm with his divine gray light.

Gray sunlight, carrying a chilling aura, fell upon a desolate plain. Beside a blood-red river, a group of skeleton soldiers stood guard at a large construction site.

Inside the construction site, a group of ragged, haggard humans were struggling to move stones and timber under the bone whip of the skeletal overseer.

A thin woman tripped and fell because she didn't notice the pebbles under her feet, spilling the stones she was carrying on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the two-meter-tall bull-headed skeleton overseer, his face contorted with rage, raised his bone whip and struck the woman mercilessly until she breathed her last.

"Hurry up, all of you! Don't even think about slacking off! Lord Warren's birthday is in a week. If this palace isn't completed before his birthday, you sinners from the lower realms can expect to be thrown into the Sea of ​​the Dead!"

Not far away, a thin, white-haired old man, already accustomed to this scene, silently and laboriously dragged a cart of timber toward the unfinished three-story palace ahead.

As he carried the timber into the palace, several humans quickly came to his side and began to skillfully unload the timber from the cart.

"Auguste, do you think His Majesty successfully escaped?"

A blue-haired young man wearing glasses approached the old man while the skeleton overseer at the door wasn't looking and asked in a low voice.

"We must trust His Majesty. One day he will come to save us."

The old man was none other than August, son of Zeref, the Shield of the Holy Light. The person speaking to him was also "General Winter," Imber Yura, another member of the Six Shields of the Holy Light.

To cover Zeref's escape, the six Guardians of the Holy Shield were captured by the god Ankhseram. However, instead of killing them, the god sealed their magic and bestowed it upon Lord Warren, who had distinguished himself in the pursuit.

The Lord of Warren was building a new palace and sent these people there to fill the missing labor force.

"Sinners! What are you doing?"

Just then, a minotaur-headed skeleton overseer walked in and, seeing Augast and Yura chatting, angrily raised his bone whip and walked toward them.

'Oh no!'

Augast and Yura's expressions darkened when they saw the skeleton overseer. If it were any other overseer, they would at most receive a few lashes, but this bull-headed skeleton overseer was not someone to be trifled with.

Augast and his men had been here for a month and were very familiar with the temperament of these skeleton overseers. No slave had ever survived under the bone whip of this bull-headed skeleton overseer.

Snapped!

The sharp bone whip made a loud air explosion, and the wooden cart blocking Ojast and his companion's path was reduced to fragments and scattered in the explosion.

As the minotaur-headed skeletal overseer approached them step by step, raising his bone whip once more, August and Yura began to imagine their own deaths.

'Father, will I never be able to acknowledge you again?'

Seeing the minotaur-headed skeletal overseer's arm raised high, Augustus's face contorted with death, and he thought angrily with resentment.

From the time he met Jelf until now, over the decades, Augustus has never had the courage to tell Jelf that he is his son with Mavis.

Now, he's starting to regret it. He regrets not telling Jelf that he was his son.

boom!

"Enemies!"

Just as the minotaur overseer was about to swing his bone whip, a deafening roar came from outside the palace, followed by the skeletal soldiers stationed outside the construction site sounding the alarm.

Upon hearing of the approaching enemy, the Minotaur overseer snorted coldly at Augast and Yura, put down his bone whip, and walked out of the palace.

When he stepped out of the palace, he found the entire construction site engulfed in golden flames, with skeleton soldiers and skeleton overseers being swallowed up by fire serpents flying from all directions.

Since becoming Lord Warren's subordinate, the Minotaur Skull Overseer had never imagined that anyone would dare to oppose him. Upon seeing this scene, his hideous jaw trembled with rage, making a gurgling sound.

Within his deep-set eyes, the crimson flames of his soul blazed fiercely. He roared and charged towards the fire serpents, raising the bone whip in his hand...

"You two look quite disheveled. Zeref would be heartbroken if he knew..."

"It's you!"

Augast and Yura never imagined they would encounter Lin Tian here. They certainly never expected Lin Tian would come to their rescue.

Unsure whether Lin Tian was friend or foe, they initially looked at him with great vigilance, but then realized that their magic was sealed and they were no match for him.

Their expressions turned sorrowful, and they looked at Lin Tian with a dejected air, unsure of what to say.

"Just the two of you? Where are Eileen and the others?"

Lin Tian ignored the psychological changes of the two at this moment. He used his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings and found that there was no aura of Eileen or the other three Guardians of the Holy Shield. He then asked the two.

"Lady Irene and Timalia have been taken to the forest in the southeast to transport timber."

Seeing that Lin Tian showed no hostility towards them, but instead inquired about the whereabouts of the others, "General Winter" Yura, though still somewhat doubtful, answered.

"Oh, I see. Let's go find them then... But before that, I need to remove the seals on you. By the way, it will hurt a little, so please bear with it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian nodded and then spoke to the two of them. Without waiting for their agreement, Lin Tian raised his hands, and two slender fire snakes shot out from his palms and entered their bodies.

"Huh? Ahhhhhh~"

When Augast and Yura heard that Lin Tian was going to remove the seals from their bodies, they were overjoyed. But then they saw two fire snakes shoot out of Lin Tian's palm and enter their bodies at an extremely fast speed.

While the two were still pondering the meaning of Lin Tian's last words, "Bear with it," they felt as if their bodies had fallen into lava, with scorching fire raging within them. Only then did they understand what Lin Tian meant.
