My two-dimensional resident

Standing beside Lin Tian, ​​Tiffany watched as the two of them roared in agony, golden flames spewing from countless pores all over their bodies, and they could very well be burned to ashes in the next second.

Tiffany had never seen such terrifying "magic" before. She covered her gaping mouth with her hand in shock and closed her eyes tightly, unable to bear the sight of the two people's miserable state.

Lin Tian, ​​lacking magical talent, had no idea how to break the magical seal. However, he could sense the aura of the death rule of the god Ankhseram within the two of them, and guessed that this was the culprit that sealed their magic.

So he used his newly acquired Flame-Flame Fruit ability to ignite the rules to ignite the death rules within the two of them, breaking the seal within them in this brutal way.

As for whether they would burn to death, Lin Tian was very confident in his control. Besides, even if they were barely clinging to life, Lin Tian could revive them with healing pills.

A few minutes later, Lin Tian stuffed two healing pills into the mouths of Augast and Yura, who had been turned into roasted meat. At the same time, he took out an apple, crushed it with his hands, and then dripped the apple juice into their mouths.

After a while, the two finally opened their eyes. Having just escaped death, they saw Lin Tian smiling at them. Their bodies trembled involuntarily, fear filling their eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't expect you two to be in such poor physical condition. I tried my best to control the flames; it's your own problem..."

Lin Tian waved his hand, indicating that they would have to take responsibility for turning them into roast meat themselves.

Augast and Yura exchanged a glance, then stood up. They had already sensed that the seals within their bodies had been broken, and at the same time, a tremendous magical power was inexplicably nourishing their bodies.

"Thank you, sir." After realizing that all of this was thanks to his former enemy, Augast bowed his head and clasped his hands in gratitude to Lin Tian.

"No need to thank me, I'm just fulfilling my promise to Jelf. Let's go find Eileen and the others."

Seeing that the two had recovered, Lin Tian directly stated that he had saved them to fulfill his promise.

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​where is His Majesty now?"

Upon hearing this, Auguste and Yura were startled, and simultaneously asked Lin Tian about Zeref's whereabouts. They had thought they would be trapped here forever, until they died.

Although they had previously said that His Majesty Zeref would come to save them one day, each of them knew very well that how could a human ruler possibly save them from the gods of a world?

“He’s not in good condition. But don’t worry, he risked his life to help me escape, and I, Lin Tian, ​​am not an ungrateful person. I will do everything in my power to save him.”

When Zeref was mentioned, the faint smile on Lin Tian's face began to disappear. He knew very well that if Zeref hadn't risked his life to save him, he would probably still be trapped on the stone pillar, looking at his companions around him in despair.

Lin Tian couldn't possibly ignore someone he had been kind to. Jelf's soul was slowly dissipating, but Lin Tian believed that once he brought him to the adorable Rabbit Island, under the island's powerful rules, he wouldn't die.

As for how to cure Zeref, Lin Tian had no clue, but he trusted his companions. They came from different worlds and would definitely find a way to cure Zeref.

"Your Majesty Jelf..."

Upon hearing that Jelf was seriously injured, August and Yura fell silent, their grief no longer able to be contained, and it was evident on their faces.

"Lin Tian! It looks like someone's coming!"

Just as Lin Tian and the other two were silently recalling Zeref, Tiffany, standing at the door, sensed a terrifying presence rushing towards them, thanks to the powerful perception of elves.

No mistake

Seeing that enemies were attacking, she quickly shouted a warning to Lin Tian.

During the time it took for Lin Tian to intervene in time to cross the Dead Sea from the forbidden land of death to reach this continent, Tiffany would likely be dead.

Knowing Lin Tian's strength, she instinctively trusted him to resolve the danger as he had done before when they encountered it.

"Looks like these skeletons have pretty powerful communication systems. They discovered the problem so quickly and sent reinforcements."

At Tiffany's prompting, Lin Tian unleashed his Observation Haki, instantly locking onto the enemy's location. Sensing the terrifying aura of death emanating from the enemy, Lin Tian smiled slightly and walked out of the palace.

Chapter 317 Fulfilling the Promise (Part Two)

A cold, damp wind carrying the smell of burning coals swept in. The previous fire had long been extinguished by Lin Tian, ​​leaving only scattered embers burning on the ground and the messy, scattered pieces of wood.

There was no one to be seen outside the unfinished palace. After Lin Tian killed all the skeleton soldiers and overseers stationed there, the slaves trapped there took the opportunity to escape.

Lin Tian sensed with his Observation Haki that the other party was about to arrive, so he used Flame Burst to fly into the sky.

As the approaching figure drew closer, Lin Tian could finally see it clearly. It was a hand cradling a head wearing a black metal helmet. The head was completely covered by the helmet, with only a pair of scarlet eyes visible.

In his other hand he held a two-meter-long dragon spear, the golden spear engraved with ancient runes.

He was clad in a full suit of metal armor, black as his helmet, and wore a red cloak over his back. The skeleton he rode on flew through the air, its hideous head occasionally spewing out a breath of eerie blue dragon breath.

A headless dragon rider?!

Seeing that the enemy coming to their aid was a headless dragon knight, Lin Tian couldn't help but think of a D&D game he had played many years ago. Due to the passage of time, he had forgotten the name of the game, but he vaguely remembered that it was a good game.

"I am Arthas, the First Dragon Rider Captain under the Lord of Warren. You mortal, you must take responsibility for your foolish actions and face the judgment of Lord Arthas."

The headless dragon knight Asers, riding his Frostbone Dragon, stopped in front of Lin Tian. He glanced at the construction site, which was now deserted, with only a few slaves desperately fleeing in the distance. His gloomy voice came from the head in his hand.

"Excuse me, is it convenient for you to fight while holding your head like that? By the way, do you have a girlfriend? If not, do you take care of your physical needs yourself?"

Lin Tian had always had a question about the headless knight's design: why did he have to hold the head in his hands? Couldn't he just use magic to press it onto the head? Even if he couldn't press it onto the head for some reason, he could at least fix it to the chest.

Lin Tian felt that the headless knight holding his head in his hands completely reduced his fighting power. Apart from showing off, Lin Tian couldn't think of any other explanation.

"You mortal, you are slandering a noble headless dragon knight! Face judgment!"

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, the headless dragon knight Arthas instantly understood their meaning. Feeling humiliated, Arthas roared angrily and charged towards Lin Tian, ​​raising his dragon spear.

"How boring! I was just curious. And you're getting all worked up, Flame Pillar!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to kill him at the slightest disagreement, Lin Tian sighed, raised his arm, and shot a golden pillar of fire at the other party. Then, he turned around gracefully and flew towards Augast and the others who were standing outside the palace.

A real man never looks at explosions. Facing an enemy weaker than himself, Lin Tian did not believe that the other party could withstand his Flame-Flame Fruit ability.

“Let’s go, let’s rescue Eileen and the others. Augast, do you know the direction of the forest where Eileen and the others are?”

Lin Tian landed in front of Augast, and seeing the three of them staring in disbelief, he chuckled and asked.

At this moment, Auguste and Yura were already shocked by Lin Tian's current abilities. The headless dragon knight named Asers had appeared when they were being pursued earlier.

Augast had fought him before, and the group knew perfectly well that this headless dragon knight was no less powerful than their own Six Shields of the Holy Guard. Now, such a powerful figure couldn't even last a single move against Lin Tian. This made them even more wary of Lin Tian's strength.

Fortunately, Lin Tian was no longer their enemy.

“Lord Lin Tian, ​​I know where Eileen and the others are. I was sent there once before.”

Yura, standing beside Augast, swallowed hard and looked at Lin Tian cautiously, speaking respectfully. He had personally experienced Lin Tian's abilities; the feeling of being burned by flames was like falling into a fiery hell, with death just a step away.

"Alright, then lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian ordered Yura to lead the way. Now that two of Zeref's Six Shields had been found, as long as he could rescue Irene and the other three, he would have successfully fulfilled his promise to Zeref.

"Yes, my lord!"

Yura bowed to Lin Tian, ​​then used winter magic to levitate and fly off in one direction. Lin Tian and the others followed him, heading towards Eileen's location.

......

boom!

"What?! Arthas is dead?! What happened?!"

Inside a gloomy and terrifying palace, the air was thick with the stench of blood. The hook-nosed man sitting on the palace throne, upon hearing the lich kneeling at his feet announce the death of his beloved Arthas, flew into a rage and smashed the golden goblet containing the blood of a 16-year-old girl to the ground.

He is Warren A. The youngest son of the god Ankhseram and the Scarlet Witch, the first vampire in this divine realm. Although he only controls one city, the surrounding nations dare not oppose him. This is not only because of his background, but also because his power is too great.

Now, hearing that someone had dared to so brazenly kill his own men, he felt such rage for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

"Who is it! I will avenge Arthas with my own hands."

Lord Warren slammed his fist on the throne, and the stench of blood in the surrounding air intensified. Any human present would be instantly affected by this aura, turning into a mindless vampire slave.

He raised his handsome face and turned his gaze towards the outside of the palace. Arthur was not only his most trusted subordinate, but also his descendant, who had lost his life and been transformed into a headless horseman after accidentally entering a forbidden area during his youthful adventure.

Therefore, both for public and private reasons, Lord Warren must avenge Asherth.

"My lord, a riot broke out at the palace you were about to build. Captain Asers went to provide support, and then his spirit tablet was shattered."

The old lich, kneeling on the ground, shakily raised his head and reported the cause of Arthas's death to Lord Warren.

Soul tablets are a technique within the divine kingdom of Ankhseram. When a powerful individual possessing a soul tablet dies, the tablet shatters, and their family and friends learn of their death.

The old lich was merely a staff member responsible for managing the soul tablets and rarely saw Lord Warren. If Captain Asers' soul tablet hadn't been broken this time, he might not have been able to come here to pay his respects to Lord Warren for years or even decades.

Faced with the terrifying power of Lord Warren, he now only hoped that Captain Arthas's death would not be attributed to him.

Although the lich has many ways to save his life, if Lord Warren wanted to kill him, he could find his life box in the blink of an eye and kill him completely.

The phylactery is the lich's most important secret. When evolving into a lich, they cut a portion of their soul to create a phylactery. As long as the phylactery remains intact, even if a lich is killed, they will be resurrected after a period of time. However, if the phylactery is destroyed, no matter how powerful the lich is, they will die instantly.

After the old lich finished speaking, the palace fell silent once more. Apart from the persistent stench of blood emanating from the main body of Warren City, there was no other movement within the palace.

"Hmm...you can go now."

After a while, Warren withdrew his gaze, waved to the old lich at his feet, and signaled him to step back.

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing this, the old lich's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. He breathed a sigh of relief, knelt and bowed to Warren, and then left the palace.

After the old lich left, only Lord Warren remained in the palace. He pressed his hand to his temple and leaned back on the throne, a complex look appearing in his golden-red eyes.

"That mortal from the lower realm who killed Athes is no ordinary person. The abilities he used don't seem to be magic from the lower realm. Could he be from another world? It seems I need to inform the Father God."

A low murmur echoed through the palace, while the figure on the throne had vanished.

......

"Lord Lin Tian, ​​thank you for coming to our rescue."

Having been "reborn from the ashes," Eileen and the others stood before Lin Tian, ​​enduring the pain from the burns. Eileen, who was in the lead, no longer had her previous glamorous appearance; now, her clothes were disheveled, making her look like a village woman.

"Alright, you've all reunited. Eileen, do you have a way to return to the Western Continent?"

Lin Tian turned his head away to avoid seeing Eileen's ample bosom. After all, she was Erza's mother, and it was best to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

“There is a way. When we came here before, I used magic to open a teleportation channel.”

Eileen didn't notice anything amiss with Lin Tian's unusual behavior; she assumed he was simply observing his surroundings. When Lin Tian questioned her, she explained how she had gotten there.

"Okay, then reopen the passage. Although the surroundings are peaceful, I have a vague sense of unease, a feeling that danger is about to strike."

Lin Tian frowned, a hint of unease appearing on his face. His Observation Haki had already covered an area of ​​ten kilometers, and he hadn't sensed any enemy presence.

But his sixth sense kept telling him that a great crisis was about to befall him. In order to prevent the plan to rescue the Shield of the Holy Six from failing, he ordered Irene to open a passage to leave the divine kingdom of Ankhseram as soon as possible.

"Yes, Lord Lin Tian."

Hearing that danger was approaching, Eileen immediately raised her hands, ready to unleash her magic.

"Advanced Enhancement Magic: Spatial Tunnel!"

As Eileen shouted, a pale red beam of light descended from the red magic circle in the sky and appeared in front of Lin Tian and the others.
