The shuttle in the second dimension

　But then, a scene happened that shocked Lin Xuan.

　The golden dream world composed of golden swords that had disappeared reappeared, and the dazzling golden light stood on Lin Xuan's face, which was filled with astonishment.

　"Since when can Kusanagi Godou use his [Incarnation] twice a day!?" But before Lin Xuan could finish his surprise, Kusanagi Godou, holding the golden sword, began to chant the Word Spirit 4.0.

　"He is the God of War in Han mythology and the ancestor of the Miao people. He has eighty-one brothers, each of whom is a god of war. After his death, he was known as the Lord of War."

　The sword of the word spirit that kills gods was shining with golden light at this time. The moment the word spirit was chanted, countless golden swords met the huge fist swung by [Chi You].

　However, when Chi You's huge fist, which was materialized by dark red curse power, encountered those golden swords, the next scene that appeared was not the golden swords being smashed, but Chi You's huge fist being torn apart directly without any hindrance.

　When Lin Xuan saw this scene, his expression, which had been improving, became more gloomy.

Chapter 10: The Dark Wave

　"He is the God of War in Han mythology and the ancestor of the Miao people. Look. He has eighty-one brothers, each of whom is like a god of war. And after his death, he was called the Lord of War..."

　The spirit of words continued to chant out of Kusanagi Godou's mouth. At the same time, the attacks of those golden swords became more and more fierce, and Lin Xuan's face became more and more gloomy. He could clearly feel that the power he could use in the authority of [Unyielding Lord of War] was getting less and less. Even now, for him, even the appearance of [Chi You] could not be maintained. What wrapped him now was nothing but irregular dark red cursed power.

　"—He is the earliest inventor of metal smelting and metal weapon manufacturing. He is the creator and enforcer of laws and regulations. His name, the name of the god you killed, is none other than Chi You." Like the sound of a hammer, when Kusanagi Godou finished chanting these words, all the golden swords in this golden dream world attacked Lin Xuan, drowning the gloomy Lin Xuan once again.

　Lin Xuan, who was submerged in the golden swords, could clearly feel that the part of the power in his body that was plundered from Chi You was slowly being sealed. He closed his eyes and felt the pain caused by the golden swords cutting through his body. There was no trace of pain on Lin Xuan's gloomy face, only incomparable coldness.

　The next moment, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. The eyes that were originally dyed dark red had disappeared, replaced by a dark color filled with malice. At this moment, there was only a dark color filled with malice in Lin Xuan's eyes, and nothing else.

　And the moment Lin Xuan opened his eyes, those dark pupils were like thick ink dropped into clear water, constantly spreading and eroding the surrounding whites of the eyes.

　And just when the whites of Lin Xuan's eyes were completely dyed black, the cursed power filled with endless malice gushed out from Lin Xuan's body, turning into a terrifying wave, breaking through and engulfing the golden swords that submerged Lin Xuan.

　30 seconds ago

　Watching the dark red giant wrapped around Lin Xuan being torn and melted under the attack of the golden sword, and finally Lin Xuan being submerged again by the wave of golden swords, Kusanagi Godou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was at ease.

　Just now, when the dark red giant raised his fist and was about to hit him, Kusanagi Godou's heart was in his throat, fearing that the golden sword he forged would have no effect on Lin Xuan. However, now it seems that the effect is surprisingly good. The dark red giant has no power to resist at all under the attack of the golden sword.

　But for some reason, after seeing this scene, he should have felt that his chances of winning were greater and he should have been safer, but his intuition gave him a faint sense of a biting chill running from the soles of his feet up to his forehead.

　j~This feeling was very uncomfortable. The God Slayer's intuition was very accurate, so although he breathed a sigh of relief, he was still on high alert, fearing that something unexpected would happen. At this moment, he discovered something strange. He saw a thick and indissoluble darkness at the place where Lin Xuan was submerged by the golden sword.

　This shouldn't be the case. He was well aware of his own powers. In this world of golden swords constructed by the Warrior incarnation, each golden sword shone with dazzling golden light. Therefore, the darkness was definitely not a shadow. Then the reason for the appearance of the darkness was probably known. Thinking of this, Kusanagi Godou was suddenly startled. He might have known where the chill that his intuition told him came from.

　Watching the expanding darkness, Kusanagi Godou suddenly cried out. "Oh no! Let's go!" He then suddenly hugged Erica beside him and activated his power to leave. Susanoo, upon hearing Kusanagi Godou's cry, hurried away.

　At the same time as they were about to leave, a terrifying wave suddenly surged out from the place that was originally submerged by the golden sword. That wave was composed entirely of pitch-black cursed power. Even from a great distance, they could feel the malice contained in that dark wave. No, it could no longer be considered contained. It could be said that the dark wave was like a collection of malice.

　The dark waves continued to erode the surroundings. While escaping from the black waves, Kusanagi Godou could clearly feel that the golden swords that were submerged by the dark waves had completely disappeared, and he could not even feel them.

　"Damn, what the hell is that thing!!" Kusanagi Godou growled with a grim expression as he glanced at the dark waves behind him that were still eroding the surroundings.

　"I'm not sure, but I've felt this malice, like the combined force of all evil, from that God Slayer before. I just don't know what its effect is," Susanoo said, his expression grave as he gazed at the black wave. Then, as if realizing something, Susanoo growled, "Hmm!? The rate of its erosion has slowed down!"

　Following Susanoo's gaze, Kusanagi Godou indeed saw that the speed at which the dark wave eroded the surroundings had slowed down, and soon, it seemed to no longer erode the surroundings, and it seemed to be slowly disappearing.

　"It's disappearing... Wait!!!" Kusanagi Godou widened his eyes as if he had seen something incredible.

　"Hey, hey, hey!!! It wouldn't be fun if we had been submerged by this thing just now--" With half-closed eyes, Susanoo looked solemnly at the ground exposed after the dark waves receded. No, that place could no longer be called the ground. What was left there was only a giant bottomless sinkhole.

　Hearing Susanoo's words, Kusanagi Godou suddenly felt a chill. He couldn't imagine whether he could survive after being submerged by those dark waves. He was afraid that it was even a question whether his body would be left.

　Shaking his head and putting the thoughts behind him, Kusanagi Godou began to search for Lin Xuan. After a while, he saw Lin Xuan floating above the giant sinkhole.

　Above the giant tiankeng

　Lin Xuan floated quietly in the air, his dark eyes swept over his masterpiece below, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed to silently express his satisfaction with his masterpiece.

　"Compared to that black mud, it's much more powerful. It seems that it was a wise choice for me to plunder all the evils of this world from the Holy Grail and form a new power within my body. Hmm, I'll leave my feelings for later. Now, what I need to do is..."

　"—— Let's solve the problem at hand first." Lin Xuan said with a smile, slightly grinning.

Chapter 11

　test

　After watching Chiyuki Asada leave, the middle-aged man half-closed his eyes and looked at Lin Xuan and said. "I am the butler here - Arita Mu. I don't know why the higher-ups sent you here, but in the next period of time, I hope you can do your duty as a bodyguard. However, you don't need to worry about things outside of your duties. Do you understand?"

　Listening to Arita's threatening words, Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly and replied, "I understand, Butler Arita. But..." Raising his head slightly and looking at Arita with half-closed eyes, Lin Xuan whispered, "I also hope that Butler Tajima will not assign me tasks beyond my bodyguard duties."

　"Humph! Of course I know this, so you don't need to remind me." With a cold snort, Arita Mu said with a cold face, "Okay, follow me, I'll take you to see the master."

　After saying that, he turned around and left.

　Looking at Arita Mu's back, Lin Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and murmured, "It seems that I am not very welcome here."

　"I had guessed that such a situation would occur, but I didn't expect that they were so impatient. They gave me such a look. Doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with them? Or do they think that I am just a ten-year-old child and they don't need to take me seriously?" Lin Xuan muttered softly with a slight disdainful curl of his lips.

　'Or is this a deliberate act?' Thinking this way, Lin Xuan took a step forward and followed Aritaki's footsteps.

　After walking for about a minute, Lin Xuan followed Arita Mu to a living room. Along the way, Lin Xuan sensed the presence of several swordsmen. It was obvious that the security of this villa was much better than that of the mayor's house that Lin Xuan had broken into.

　As soon as he entered the living room, Lin Xuan felt several cold gazes falling on him. At the same time, a surge of energy suddenly rose in the living room and pressed towards Lin Xuan.

　"Is this a show of force? It seems they want to embarrass me~~~~" Feeling the momentum coming towards him, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. If he were really just an ordinary sword cutter, he would probably become timid and retreat in the face of these momentum, which would make people feel embarrassed. But unfortunately, Lin Xuan is not an ordinary sword cutter, and their actions will only end in failure.

　Although when he first felt those auras pressing towards him, Lin Xuan wanted to release the aura in his body and crush those auras pressing towards him, making those who wanted to embarrass him look bad, but since he was not suitable to be too high-profile at the moment, Lin Xuan gave up this idea and chose to ignore those auras pressing towards him.

　Looking at Lin Xuan's calm appearance, the pupils of the sword cutters in the living room who were releasing their aura towards Lin Xuan shrank slightly. They did not expect that the child in front of them, who looked only about ten years old, could actually resist the aura released by several of them at the same time.

　Glancing at the bodyguards standing in the living room, Lin Xuan could clearly feel that the aura pressing towards him was emanating from those people. Silently glancing at their faces a few times, Lin Xuan planned to "repay" them when he had the chance.

　"It's incredible! I thought the bodyguard they sent would be at least twenty years old, but I didn't expect it to be a child who looks only ten years old~~~~"

　At this moment, a sudden voice caught Lin Xuan's attention. Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Xuan happened to see a man sitting on a sofa reading a newspaper. The man looked slightly younger than the butler, Arita Mu. At the same time, he exuded an aura that Arita Mu did not have. It seemed that he was Lin Xuan's target this time - Tian Daogong.

　"Sometimes age doesn't mean something, for example, my strength." Although Lin Xuan knew that he had to be low-key and not too high-profile, there were some things he couldn't be low-key about. After all, he was here to be a bodyguard. It would not be good if he was looked down upon by his employer and was arranged to be a doorman at the gate.

　"Oh~~~~" Lin Xuan's words seemed to arouse Tian Daogong's interest. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Anyone can talk big, but it's not so easy to do it. Since you are so confident, let's do a test to see if your words are true.

　"I'm very happy to..." Lin Xuan said with a slight grin... Lin Xuan felt that Tian Daogong's proposal was very much to his liking, because it would make him understand that although he was only a ten-year-old child, his own strength was enough to serve as his bodyguard.

　"Then, how do you want to test me, Master?" Lin Xuan half-closed his eyes and looked at Tian Daogong obscurely, as if he wanted to see something from his face. But unfortunately, just from his face, Lin Xuan didn't see what he wanted.

　"Since we want to test your strength, there's no need to make it too complicated. A real fight will give us a rough idea." Tian Daogong glanced around and suddenly his eyes stopped on a burly man. "Toka, it's up to you to test whether this kid's strength is as good as he claims."

　"Understood, sir." With that, the burly man walked out from the corner and slowly approached Lin Xuan. Immediately, a heavy aura emanated from the man named Toka, pressing toward Lin Xuan. Feeling that aura, Lin Xuan froze for a moment.

　He could clearly feel the pressure of that aura weighing on him, even heavier than the combined pressure of the auras he'd felt when he'd first entered. It felt like a mountain peak: heavy, majestic, and steady. Furthermore, as Toka approached, Lin Xuan could sense Toka's aura steadily rising.

　'Interesting, I remember this person is not in the information. It seems that the strength of these bodyguards needs to be re-evaluated~~~' With this thought, Lin Xuan took a step towards Toka. At this time, he seemed to have transformed into a sharp blade that could cut through everything, and directly cut through Toka's momentum that was pressing towards him, causing it to dissipate before it reached its peak.

　"Huh!!" After feeling his aura being cut, the burly man named Toka was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

　After being surprised, Toka grinned, revealing his white teeth and laughed.

　"You—are quite good."

Chapter 12

　"I didn't expect that, in the end, it was you who allowed me to retain my memory in the cycle of death. It was hard to believe that I had the feeling of having you by my side. If it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of the black claws." Recalling the feeling of powerlessness when facing the black claws before, Lin Xuan couldn't help but clutch his clothes on his chest, his face a little pale.

　After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Xuan's expression looked better.

　knock knock --

　The sudden knock on the door immediately attracted Lin Xuan's attention.

　"come in."

　After getting Lin Xuan's permission, the person knocking on the door pushed open the door and walked in. It was Rem, the maid of this mansion. She was holding the set of clothes that Lin Xuan wore when he woke up in the royal capital.

　"Guest, your clothes." Gently placing the clothes on the bedside, Rem looked at Lin Xuan and said, "I'll change them for you."

　"That's not necessary. I'm more used to changing my clothes by myself." Lin Xuan politely declined Rem's request and continued, "Can you wait for me outside the door for a while? I want to go see the person who came with me yesterday, but the mansion is too big. I'm afraid I'll get lost. Can you help me show me the way?"

　"Okay, guest." With that, Rem left the room and closed the door behind him.

　After Rem left, Lin Xuan quickly changed his clothes. After opening the door, he saw Rem standing quietly outside the door.

　"Sorry to have kept you waiting. You can go now."

　"Please follow me, guest." As he said that, Rem took Lin Xuan towards Subaru's room, but before they arrived, they saw Subaru running towards them.

　However, because Subaru covered his eyes with his forearm, he did not see Lin Xuan and Rem coming towards him, so when he ran past Lin Xuan, he did not pay attention to Lin Xuan, causing his shoulder to bump into Lin Xuan slightly. Lin Xuan was fine, but Subaru almost fell down. However, even so, Subaru still ran away from Lin Xuan without a care in the world.

　"What's wrong with him? Is he upset by something?" Turning his head to look at Subaru who was running farther and farther away, Lin Xuan turned around and asked Rem.

　But Rem just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

　Lin Xuan really didn't know why Subaru was like this? How could it be possible? He was the only one in the mansion who knew why Subaru had become like this, but he had to pretend that he didn't know.

　Not long after Subaru ran over, Lin Xuan saw Ram running towards them.

　"Good morning, guest." After seeing Lin Xuan, Ram first greeted him respectfully, and then asked.

　"Guest, Rem, have you seen the injured guest?"

　"Where did he run to?" After pointing out the direction Subaru left to Ram, Lin Xuan looked at Ram with a little confusion and asked.

　"What's wrong with him?"

　"Ram doesn't know either." After answering Lin Xuan's question, Ram ran to find Subaru.

　pp

　"Since she is no longer in the room, there is no point for me to go there." With a sigh, Lin Xuan said to Rem beside him.

　"I'm going to take a walk in the courtyard so I don't have to take up any more of your time, Rem."

　"Okay, sir." After saying that, Rem pointed the way to Lin Xuan and left.

　After Rem left, Lin Xuan followed the route Rem pointed and came to the courtyard.

　After walking in the courtyard for a while, Lin Xuan met Emilia. After chatting with her for a while, he found Subaru opening the door and walking out.

　Looking at Emilia running over in a hurry, Lin Xuan shook his head and walked over slowly.

　After Subaru woke up, he ran out without saying why, which obviously made Emilia worried. Therefore, after seeing Subaru appear, Emilia went up to him and questioned him directly.

　"Are you okay? You didn't seem to be in a good state when I saw you in the corridor before." Lin Xuan asked with a smile as he walked slowly in front of Subaru.

　"No, it's okay. I'm sorry. I bumped into you before and I haven't apologized to you yet." Subaru touched the back of his head and apologized to Lin Xuan. Perhaps it was because Lin Xuan was concentrating on practicing swordsmanship in the last round and had little presence, Subaru no longer had the same hostility towards Lin Xuan as before.
