The shuttle in the second dimension

Chapter 58

　"Satira, Satira, Satira..." As if possessed by a demon, Petelgeuse kept repeating the witch's name.

　Suddenly, the movement around Petelgeuse suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Lin Xuan secretly said in his heart that something was wrong. He knew that Petelgeuse had "calmed down".

　After noticing that Petelgeuse had "calmed down," Lin Xuan sensed something was amiss. He knew Petelgeuse was about to attack. Rather than reacting passively, Lin Xuan took the initiative and rushed towards Petelgeuse, who was still kneeling on the ground.

　"Satira..." When Petelgeuse saw Lin Xuan rushing towards him, he was still muttering the witch's name.

　When Lin Xuan was still five or six meters away from Petelgeuse, the ground between Lin Xuan and Petelgeuse suddenly exploded, and stones of various sizes flew in all directions, and smoke and dust that blocked people's vision also spread.

　'What does he want to do?' Seeing the spreading smoke and dust, Lin Xuan stopped temporarily. He didn't know what Petelgeuse was trying to do. Although Petelgeuse acted madly and seemed to follow his own whims, Lin Xuan's intuition told him that Petelgeuse would never create this cloud of dust for no reason.

　"Delaying time? Making me afraid to take action, so I can take advantage of this time to deal with Subaru and the others?" I wondered what Petelgeuse's true intention was.

　"Never mind, let's get out of this smoke first, and then help Emilia and the others leave." As he said that, Lin Xuan prepared to leave this smoke-filled area first.

　Just when Lin Xuan was about to make a move and wanted to leave, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Lin Xuan knew that an invisible hand was approaching him. His intuition noticed this and gave him a hint.

　Quickly scanning his surroundings, Lin Xuan knew that although those invisible hands were invisible, they did exist. If he passed through the smoke and dust, he would definitely see the smoke and dust expanding as he passed by.

　"Wait!?" Lin Xuan suddenly realized he seemed to have missed something while glancing around.

　"Up there!" When Lin Xuan raised his head and looked directly above him, he discovered that the smoke and dust there had been stretched open into several holes.

　"Damn it!" Lin Xuan shouted inwardly and quickly moved to the side to avoid the invisible hands that were grabbing him from above. However, when Lin Xuan had just avoided those invisible hands, he found that several holes had appeared in the smoke beside him. It was obvious that there were more invisible hands grabbing towards him.

　"Tsk! Is that the only thing I can use?" Cursing silently, Lin Xuan began to draw more magic power from the door.

　The next moment, the dark destructive power overflowed from Zhanmie and Lin Xuan crazily, and in an instant, it formed a dark hemisphere with a radius of six or seven meters. Inside the dark hemisphere, except for Lin Xuan, everything was ruthlessly destroyed.

　The pitch-black hemisphere didn't last long before dissipating, revealing Lin Xuan's figure. Just like last time, his expression wasn't very good. His slightly puffed cheeks looked as if he were holding something. Glancing to the side, Lin Xuan spat out what was in his mouth. It was nothing but a mouthful of crimson blood.

　"I've been using the power of destruction a bit too much these past few days, especially that all-out slash during the day and the two times I used my body as a carrier to release the power of destruction. The backlash on my body was quite severe." Lin Xuan thought to himself as he gently wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth.

　Because of the destructive power released before, most of the smoke and dust had dissipated. He also saw Petelgeuse who was more than ten meters away from him. As for Rem and the others, they had successfully left because Petelgeuse had focused most of his attention on him just now. However, because there were still Witch Cult members blocking them around, they had not left too far. But looking at the situation, as long as he could drag most of the Witch Cult members here, it should not be difficult for them to successfully get rid of the Witch Cult members.

　"Why do you want to stop me? Why do you want to stop me from offering my love to the witch!!" Petelgeuse roared ferociously, not caring about his body at all, and pulled his cheeks madly.

　"It must be that the love I've shown the witch isn't enough. It must be that. As long as I give her enough love, she'll never act like that again. It absolutely is!" As if seeing hope, the madness on Petelgeuse's face faded considerably. It had to be said that Petelgeuse's faith in the witch was beyond mere fanaticism. Such mad faith filled Lin Xuan with fear. Honestly, one had to be extremely cautious when dealing with such a fanatic, as he was capable of anything.

　"Trial, trial, trial, trial. As long as I complete the trial, I will be able to offer more love to the witch. Love, love, love, love!" Petelgeuse shouted excitedly, looked at Lin Xuan coldly, raised his hand, made a throat-cutting gesture, and then gave a loud order to the witch cult members around him.

　"kill him."

　The witch cultists who received the order all rushed towards Lin Xuan without hesitation. Some attacked with daggers, while others cast magic from a distance. In an instant, Lin Xuan was surrounded by the witch cultists.

　Facing those attacks, Lin Xuan used his superior reaction speed and physical strength to dodge continuously.

　Turning sideways, Lin Xuan stared at the witch cultist charging past him, a fierce look in his eyes. He reached out his left hand, grabbed the witch cultist's clothes, and flung her toward the incoming magic. Wind blades easily sliced ​​through the witch cultist's body, and the subsequent fireball ignited the severed corpse.

　Without even a glance at the witch cultist he had thrown, Lin Xuan stomped his foot hard and charged towards Petelgeuse, who stood not far away, gazing coldly at him. As for those who stood in his way, they were either used as human shields by Lin Xuan or sliced ​​in half with a single blow. After only dashing five or six meters, Lin Xuan's body was stained with blood. Of course, almost none of it was his.

　Seeing Lin Xuan getting closer to him, Petelgeuse finally took action. Dozens of invisible hands stretched out from behind him and grabbed Lin Xuan.

　"Is it coming?" When a strange feeling arose in his heart, Lin Xuan knew that Petelgeuse had taken action.

　"I have to use all my strength, even if the backlash is more severe, it doesn't matter." Lin Xuan thought to himself after glancing around.

　Chapter 59: Farewell to the Death Cycle

　"I have to use all my strength, even if the backlash is a little more severe, it doesn't matter." Thinking this in his heart, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

　The next moment, a pitch-black destructive force emanated from his body, soon enveloping him completely. As Lin Xuan charged forward, he slammed into Petelgeuse like a pitch-black meteor.

　"Why, why do you keep stopping me from offering my love to the witch again and again!!" Facing Lin Xuan's attack, Petelgeuse not only did not dodge, but stood in place and roared at Lin Xuan. Along with Petelgeuse's roar, the invisible hands behind him emerged frantically and kept grabbing towards Lin Xuan. It looked like they were going to tear Lin Xuan into pieces.

　Although he was wrapped in the power of destruction, Lin Xuan could still clearly feel the invisible hand approaching him, but he had no intention of dodging, nor did he need to dodge.

　Lin Xuan clenched his hands tightly around the "Slash" blade, poised to thrust. He seemed to transform into an unstoppable blade, stabbing fiercely at Petelgeuse. The invisible hands that reached out to grab Lin Xuan melted away like ice upon hot water whenever they encountered the destructive force covering his surface. In the blink of an eye, dozens of invisible hands reaching out to grab Lin Xuan were annihilated by the destructive force.

　In order to block the invisible hand of Petelgeuse, Lin Xuan deliberately compressed the layer of destructive power covering his body. Although doing so would make the backlash of the destructive power more serious, its power would also increase greatly accordingly.

　After blocking the invisible hand released by Petelgeuse, Lin Xuan crossed the remaining distance between him and Petelgeuse, and the sword in his hand, which was attached with the power of destruction, easily pierced Petelgeuse's heart. Not only that, as mentioned before, Lin Xuan was like a black meteor, and slammed heavily into the body possessed by Petelgeuse.

　The destructive force released by Lin Xuan was very overbearing, and it was obviously not something that a body could withstand. The body was instantly swallowed up by the layer of destructive force covering Lin Xuan, without even a trace left.

　After killing Petelgeuse once again, Lin Xuan paused, coming to a complete stop. Using the momentum from his previous sprint, he turned. Looking at the Witch Cultists behind him, a cold look flashed in his eyes. He completely transferred the destructive force covering him to the blade of destruction.

　The next moment, Lin Xuan swung out a huge pitch-black sword energy. It was more like a pitch-black torrent that swallowed up all the Witch Cult members in an instant. As the pitch-black torrent dissipated, the place in front of Lin Xuan looked like it had been bitten by something, and a huge hole appeared.

　"Ha-ha-ha-" Panting, Lin Xuan walked to the edge of the pit. After confirming that the enemies had indeed been completely eliminated, Lin Xuan let out a long breath and relaxed completely.

　"Is it solved?" Lin Xuan whispered and was about to turn around and leave.

　But just as Lin Xuan was about to turn around, a sudden sense of danger arose within him, as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Furthermore, beneath that icy feeling, there was another sensation. Lin Xuan could describe it as being embraced by death, a feeling of despair.

　"What..." As the sense of danger rose in his heart, before Lin Xuan could react, his body instinctively reacted and tried to move. Unfortunately, if the battle had just ended, Lin Xuan's body might have reacted faster. Now, as his body relaxed, it was at its slowest. Facing the danger behind him that he felt was fatal, he had no time to dodge.

　Lin Xuan suddenly felt a pain in his waist and felt that his vision had changed. The next moment, Lin Xuan fell into the pit in front of him.

　"Ouch!" Lin Xuan couldn't help but groan after falling heavily to the bottom of the pit, and the severe pain that followed made Lin Xuan almost unable to hold back his wail.

　"Ouch!!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and dug his fingers into the rough, hard ground at the bottom of the pit. He didn't even care that his fingers were bleeding, because he was already overwhelmed by the severe pain in his waist and had no time to care about other minor injuries...

　Looking at his lower body falling not far away, Lin Xuan widened his eyes. He didn't understand why at the last moment, an attack suddenly appeared that he was completely unable to react to, cutting him in half.

　"Who on earth is it!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and struggled to look up at the pit. He wanted to know who it was, who had attacked him in the end. But it seemed that due to excessive blood loss, Lin Xuan could not struggle at all. He could only lie powerlessly at the bottom of the pit and struggled to his death.

　As time passed, Lin Xuan felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred. At this moment, Lin Xuan could not even think about struggling to see who had made him become like this. Whether he could continue to survive had become a problem.

　As his consciousness became increasingly blurred, the scenes that Lin Xuan saw also became increasingly blurred. At this time, Lin Xuan, who was in a daze, could hear two voices talking above the pit, but because his consciousness was too blurred, Lin Xuan could no longer hear what they were saying. The only thing he could remember was probably the voices of the two people who were talking.

　Just before Lin Xuan's consciousness fell completely into darkness, time - went backwards.

　-

　Darkness. All Lin Xuan saw was darkness, a darkness where he could not see anything. Lin Xuan did not know how long he had stayed in the darkness. It seemed like a month, 3.5 days, and a minute. When a little light appeared in front of his eyes, he finally left the darkness.

　As soon as he came out of the darkness, Lin Xuan felt his consciousness was blurred. When his blurred consciousness gradually became clear, he found that he was standing on a lawn, and a person was lying on the ground in front of him.

　Turning his head and looking at the familiar buildings around him, Lin Xuan blinked, with deep confusion in his eyes. He touched his waist and moved his lower body. As time passed, the confusion in Lin Xuan's eyes gradually dissipated.

　"I'm back." Lin Xuan said bitterly, pressing his right hand on his forehead.

　"Well, we're back." Subaru, who collapsed on the ground with his eyes wide open, said with a bleak expression.

　"I'm back." Lin Xuan said bitterly, pressing his right hand on his forehead.

　"Well, we're back." Subaru, who collapsed on the ground with his eyes wide open, said with a bleak expression.

　"Heh..." Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and took a step back. He seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the grass. He looked at Subaru blankly and asked him weakly.

　"How did you die?"

　"I don't know. The dragon chariot was moving along just fine, but suddenly the dragon pulling it turned into a bloody mist. When I came to, I was lying on the ground, seriously injured. Then my consciousness blurred, and then it was the cycle of death." Clenching his fists, Subaru's eyes flashed with fear. Being killed without knowing how, the unknown made Subaru feel the same fear he had felt when he was silently killed by the curse.

　"It seems you encountered someone during your breakout." Although there was no evidence, Lin Xuan was certain that the people who had cut him in half were the same ones who had caused Subaru's death. Thinking of this, Lin Xuan's originally lifeless eyes gradually filled with anger, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

　"Who is it?!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and the magic power in his body began to overflow unconsciously, affecting the surroundings.

　At this time, Subaru also felt that something was wrong with Lin Xuan's condition. If it was just the cycle of death, he shouldn't have lost control of his emotions to this extent.

　"Lin Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

　"Huh..." Lin Xuan took a long breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

　"It's nothing, I just thought of something unpleasant." Lin Xuan half-closed his eyes and said with a hint of anger, "After you broke through, I fought that Archbishop of Sin for a while, and finally eliminated him and those witch cultists. But just when I thought it was over and just when I was relaxing, I was attacked from behind. I didn't even have time to react before I was cut in half. If you hadn't activated the Death Cycle when I was about to die, I'm afraid I would have died before you."

　"What!?" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Subaru sat up directly, but the next moment, he was in tragedy. He forgot that he had just been trained (beaten) by Lin Xuan, and his body was covered with wounds. Moving like this made him so painful that he couldn't speak. It took him more than a minute to recover.

　"You said, someone attacked you from behind and cut you in half?" Subaru widened his eyes, his face full of surprise. He originally thought that Lin Xuan's emotions got out of control because he died in the cycle of death when he was about to completely escape the pursuit of the Witch Cult, but now it seems that he was wrong, and the real reason was that he was attacked from behind.

　"Well, if my guess is correct, the group of people who attacked me should be the ones who caused you serious injuries and death." Lin Xuan said gloomily. He really couldn't think of who attacked him from behind. Before that, they even attacked the dragon car that had just broken through, resulting in Subaru's death. What's more, it was not just Subaru who died. Emilia and the others were probably in danger as well. Thinking of this, the anger that Lin Xuan had suppressed with great difficulty began to show signs of emerging.

　"Did you see the person who attacked you?" Subaru now understood the thorny nature of the situation. It was troublesome enough that the enemy was unknown, not to mention that there was more than one unknown enemy. The situation was really getting worse and worse.

　"No, I tried to get up and see, but I failed. However, while I was half-conscious, I heard their conversation. Although I couldn't make out what they were saying at the time, I memorized their voices. Next time I hear them, I should be able to distinguish them."

　"It's just the sound." Subaru said solemnly, biting his nails lightly.

　"It would be fine if the guys who attacked me were just passing by, but if they are coming for us, the method of luring the Witch Cult away from here will not work. We must change our strategy." After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan expressed his thoughts.

　"Do you have any ideas? Lin Xuan."

　"Ask for help." After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan voiced a thought he hadn't expressed in the previous episode. He had entertained this idea last week, but at the time, he lacked evidence to prove the source of the intelligence regarding the Witch Cult's attack. Furthermore, he felt confident he could escape Petelgeuse's pursuit and blockade with Emilia, so he subconsciously chose not to pursue this option. Now, having proven his method inadequate, he had no choice but to form an alliance with the other candidates for the King's Choice and seek reinforcements, as he had in the original story.

　"Of course, this isn't a request for help without a price. If you don't pay something, the candidates for the King's Choice won't send anyone to help."

　After listening to Lin Xuan's words, Subaru was silent for a while.

　"What's the price?"

　"The point is not what price I have to pay, but how to explain to Emilia and the others that the Witch Cult is attacking. I don't have any evidence now. If I do it like last time, it will only alarm the people of the Witch Cult and make them act in advance. If that happens, even if I can rush to the capital to ask for help, it will be too late to come back." Lin Xuan didn't really care about the price he had to pay. He was about to die, so why bother about those external things? However, how to explain to Emilia and the others became a problem that troubled Lin Xuan.

　"Then what should I do? I can't just lie to them and make them believe it, right?" Subaru muttered in distress and casually came up with a method.

　"Cheat?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. "It's not impossible."

　"Hey, hey, hey, are you really going to lie to Emilia Tan?" Subaru excitedly moved forward, widened his eyes, and looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, but because he moved too much, he pulled the wound again, making Subaru scream in pain.

　"At this point, the most important thing is to let Emilia and the others know that the Witch Cult is about to attack. As for what method to use, we can't worry about it now. It's good enough if we can make them understand." Lin Xuan said with a pout, glancing at Subaru.

　"Okay." Subaru knew that this was the only solution.

　"Even though it's a lie, we still have to do some preparation." As he said that, Lin Xuan patted the grass debris on his pants and stood up.

　"I'm going out for a while. If Emilia and the others ask, just say I went to the forest around Aram Village." With that, Lin Xuan left.
