Ex-Machina on a Dimensional Journey

Xiu Er floated in midair, her gaze indifferent as she watched the figures falling toward the earth. The barrier above her blocked every falling stone.

The two Knights of the Round Table also vanished amid the countless fragments, falling to the ground with the debris, their fates unknown.

After briefly confirming the condition of the two enemies, the doll immediately raised her head toward the source of the tower's collapse.

Golden Light Ribbons danced across the sky, while the silver knight held his treasured sword and tried to approach the golden figure that shone like the sun.

Bedivere panted heavily, the tightly furrowed brow on his face reflecting his immense pain.

"Lady Xiu Er?"

"Sorry, it seems I messed up again..."

The knight lowered his head, as though regretting his failure.

After quickly confirming that Bedivere was not in any serious mortal danger, the doll immediately released the hands holding him and instead used Magic to suspend him beside her.

"Lady Xiu Er, I..."
