Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

The breath that flew out of the black dragon's mouth "hit the bull's eye" under Xuul's intentional control, once again submerging the figure of the Lion King.

Boom——! ! !

The heat and impact generated by the explosion were all isolated by Xuul's shield.

But it was different for the Lion King bound by chains. This time, she was eaten without any defense.

Xuul immediately controlled the chains to pull the bound individual out of the newly appeared smoke.

The figure of the Lion King flew out from the smoke, and his originally bright and beautiful silver armor was now completely charred.

She was bound in chains and had lost the possibility of breaking free. The light of the holy spear was still not dimmed, but its owner had temporarily lost all ability to move.

However, Xuer could still see the man's firm will in those green eyes.

The seemingly serious injury did not affect his determination.

Seeing this, Xuer manipulated the chains without hesitation to throw the Lion King into the air. At the same time, the black dragon behind him once again spit out a huge wave of flames towards the figure in the sky.

The blue flames that covered the sky and the sun slowly stopped until the Lion King's figure began to fall to the ground.

At this time, the king looked extremely miserable, his whole body was charred, and even the golden crown on his head showed signs of melting to a certain extent.

Although the armor on his body was not completely damaged, it was all bright red from being burned by high temperatures.

But the black dragon's attack has not ended yet.

Just before the Lion King was about to fall to the ground, it quickly twisted its body and used its slender but powerful tail to whip the king hundreds of meters away.

After a while of soaring like a stone skipping stone, the Lion King's body gradually stopped on the flat ground a thousand meters away.

The places it passed through have been left with potholes of varying sizes, which are enough to roughly show what kind of impact it has experienced.

Xuer took the black dragon and flew quickly to its landing point.

I saw that in a hidden pit, the king, covered in mud and charred, was lying in it with his body tied up.

The armor on her chest was dented and broken, and the flesh underneath was covered in horrific rotten flesh.

If this kind of injury happened to anyone else, they would have died long ago, not to mention surviving the black dragon's flames.

But the Lion King in front of him, apart from looking extremely miserable, did not seem to have any signs of exhaustion. His emerald green eyes were filled with raging rage towards the puppet.

This gave Xiuer ample reason to believe that as long as he removed the restraints on the other party, he would definitely attack again.

After confirming the enemy's condition, even Xuer couldn't help but sigh at the king's strong vitality. Putting aside his strength, he rarely encountered such a "durable" person.

"Is this the 'immortality' bestowed by the holy sword?"

He naturally knew about his experience. Because Bedivere failed to return the holy sword, the Knight King did not die as he wished, and in the end he could only drag his immortal body and continue to walk the world.

In other words, the Lion King in front of us is none other than the Knight King who was still alive. She is not a servant, but a real "living person".

But to say that she is "human" is not entirely true.

Just like back then, the seriously injured Lion King could not die and could only stare at people like this.

Xiuer's eyes glowed slightly, and after confirming the other party's situation, he slowly floated in front of the other party.

Click...

The puppet landed on the ground with both feet, crushing the charcoal on the ground.

He bent down and squatted, looking directly at the Lion King with his childlike face.

The shadow of the black dragon enveloped the puppet and the Lion King's body. In the shadow, the pair of shining golden eyes became particularly conspicuous.

“Ask, what does it feel like to have eternal life?”

"...?"

The Lion King, who originally thought that Xuel was going to say something sarcastic, was stunned.

She raised her eyes and looked at the other person slightly confusedly.

You were just fighting for your life, why are you suddenly asking this now?

The black dragon licked its chin rather boredly, and its sharp eyes casually scanned the surroundings. The miserable state of the enemy made it satisfied, but the hostile gaze made it irritated.

But the Creator is talking to it, and it can only shift its attention to the surroundings.

Seeing that the other party was a little confused, Xiuer, knowing that his question was a bit abrupt, immediately ended the topic.

His gaze then fell on the holy spear beside him.

Holy Spear [Longomyniad].

The power of the released Noble Phantasm has faded, but this holy spear still shines with a sacred light.

Shuul could detect a powerful magical reaction from it.

According to the information in the Whispering Chapter, this weapon is a divine weapon that the Lion King has been using to this day, and it has helped him eliminate countless obstacles.

Noticing the other party's gaze, the Lion King, who had been extremely quiet, immediately dissipated the weapon in his hand, as if he was worried that the other party wanted to steal it.

Logically speaking, it would be very risky to retract the weapon at this moment, as she could not guarantee that the other party would not attack immediately.

But she could see that the other party seemed to have some purpose in keeping her.

"..."

Seeing this, Xiuer withdrew his gaze.

"Inquiry, do you remember 'Bedivere'?"

As the name appeared, the Lion King frowned, as if he was recalling something.

"What on earth is this name..."

This king, who never uttered a word no matter what kind of attacks he suffered, actually showed a rare look of worry on this issue.

She seemed to recall the memory of that name, but the related memories were like a thick fog, making it impossible for her to see clearly.

Looking at the expression of the Lion King, Xuel understood the general idea without any explanation.

"Notice, someone wants to deliver an item to you."

As soon as the words fell, a golden vortex unfolded in the open space beside him.

The puppet stood up and turned to look at the vortex.

The Lion King's attention was also attracted by the commotion. She was very familiar with this vortex. It was the "ability" similar to space transfer that the opponent used to break into the palace at the beginning of the battle.

A few seconds after the two men cast their eyes on the whirlpool, a knight in silver armor walked out from it under their gaze.

The person who came was Bedivere, who had been sent to a safe area by Shul earlier.

……

----

……

"hiss--"

Looking at the giant dragon in the distance, Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath.

Everyone in Chaldea saw the battle between Shuul and the Lion King, including the giant magic circle and the black dragon that flew out of the circle.

The raging sea of ​​flames that covered the sky and the sun made the young man feel hot just by looking at it.

No, this is not an illusion.

The temperature around here has indeed risen!

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of shock.

"Dear Da Vinci, that flying dragon...?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little incoherent. He pointed at the black dragon in the distance, turned around and called the "brains" of the team, as if he wanted to know what the creature was called.

After all, a dragon that is so powerful should be a dragon with a name.

However, in response to the teenager's question, Leonardo da Vinci observed for a few seconds and then shook his head regretfully.

Fafnir?

It doesn't seem to be.

She also didn't know what the dragon was.

But it is obvious that its appearance must be the work of Shule.

"I can only say that it can probably be considered a 'friendly force'..."

Even Leonardo da Vinci spoke hesitantly. After all, the flying dragon gave people a sense of evil just by its appearance.

It's hard not to doubt its threatening nature.

But since it was something summoned by Xuer, I believe that the puppet must have corresponding means.

This was the only way Leonardo could comfort himself.

After all, the flames alone were enough to destroy a country, and the visual effect alone was enough to shock everyone.

Fortunately, Shuul's reliability is obvious to all, and Da Vinci is not worried that the puppet will do something unplanned.

"At this point, we can only trust that Xiuer knows how to act properly."

……

Chapter 71: Return

"Roar--!!!"

A dragon's roar announcing victory resounded through the sky.

Only then did the black dragon's chest scales, which had been bright red due to the high temperature in its body, gradually cool down and dim.

After roaring wildly, it licked its chin and looked at the tiny doll in front of it with a satisfied look.

"..."

Xiuer looked up at this "monster" with rich "emotions".

Although its appearance always reveals a frightening evil nature, its appearance also fits the image of the "evil dragon" in conventional stories.

But as its creator, Xu'er could ignore its "appearance" and directly read the pride in those golden dragon eyes.

He understood that it was taking credit for himself.

Compared to the "Black Dragon" created at the beginning, this black dragon's emotional ability is obviously much stronger than the former. Even the monster's killing instinct towards other lives has been largely offset.

The reason for this change is Shuul's improvement of this "magic".

Although it is called "improvement", it is actually a creation based on this reference.

It's called "Bio-Creation."

Simple and clear, Xuel didn't have any idea of ​​giving it a childish name, he simply followed the naming method based on magic.

The effect is that it can create the "creature" that the caster wants, and the "race" of this creature is no longer fixed as a monster and will be completely loyal to the caster.

This is also the reason why this black dragon is not as violent as the previous black dragon.

The latter had the direct intention of retaliating against its creator when it was first created.

As he possesses almost the entire world's [Magic Encyclopedia], he is of course not limited to using "other people's magic". Such abundant reference materials allow him to modify and create as he pleases.

After all, the magic in that world and the underlying logic are universal.

And because of the special nature of this doll, all the "limitations" of talent are meaningless.

Xiuer ignored the high temperature that had not completely dissipated, and directly touched the other person's chest, which still retained some warmth, with his bare hands.

Of course, the Ex-Machina's body would not be affected by simple high temperatures, not to mention that his body had undergone further "modification".

There is a dark silver-white color that is opposite to the color of its scales, and this silver-white area is the part where the black dragon's defense is the strongest.

And when it enters a serious state, this strongest "shield" is also its "weapon" with extremely high damage.

However, it did not have the chance to use this move in the previous battle.

Xuer's way of touching the other person was very simple, as if he was fooling him.
