The Mecha-Kai Species During Dimensional Travel

"Worthless individual, eliminated."

To be honest, when he saw that scene back then, he felt his crotch get a little damp.

What kind of monster was this!

Clearly, there was a halo like an angel above its head, yet its actions were as ruthless and inhumane as a demon from hell.

Killing people without even blinking an eye.

As for the parts of its body that were clearly not human, this bandit indicated that he had no idea what those things were either.

As for the remaining four companions, including himself, after witnessing the Chief's fate, they all frantically spilled everything they knew.

Xiu Er swept his icy gaze over the few people kneeling on the ground, bound tightly by Chains.

After collecting the information they had blurted out, he felt very satisfied.

Finally, he asked a question that made all four people present tremble.

"[Inquiry] Have any of you... killed people?"

Xiu Er's calm voice was like a thunderclap to these bandits.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on their bodies.

Although Xiu Er's eyes currently held no emotional meaning, the four bandits only lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

But it seemed that ever since he killed the Chief, these people hadn't dared to look at him.

Seeing the performance of these people, Xiu Er also understood roughly.

Is that so, so that's how it is.

"I-I-I... I was forced!"

One person spoke, which caused Xiu Er to look at that person.

Stared at by those golden eyes, the bandit who had mustered the courage to speak lost his momentum, and his head instantly drooped down.

Heh.

No longer paying attention to this group of bandits, Xiu Er turned and left the place.

Just when everyone thought they had survived.

The Chains binding their bodies suddenly ignited with blazing red flames, instantly engulfing the bandits. In just a few seconds, nothing remained on the spot but a pile of ashes.

During the interrogation, Xiu Er did not choose to use the ability of the [War Song Diva].

Because it wasn't necessary.

Under the threat of death, these bandits would only blurt out everything they knew.

And whether they were lying or not, as long as it was in Xiu Er's eyes, he could tell at a glance. By scanning their facial expressions and body movements, he could instantly deduce whether they were lying.

And that last person who jumped out claiming he was forced.

Unfortunately, according to Xiu Er's calculations, he was lying.

But then again, in this world, which bandit didn't have blood on their hands?

Xiu Er wouldn't pretend to be a champion of justice and kill these people.

It was only because they had set their crooked minds on him.

As early as when these bandits hid in the woods, his detector and Receiver had already captured their information.

Their subsequent discussions and plans were all known to Xiu Er.

Originally, he wanted to ignore these people, but then he heard them planning to capture him and sell him off.

Well, after clearly hearing what kind of evil deeds they were up to, Xiu Er changed his plan. Moreover, since these people had already seen his true face, to avoid causing trouble, silencing them was the best option.

That was all.

So for these people, the moment they set their sights on him, the fate of [Death] was already sealed.

Fortunately, there was still a bit of useful information among these bandits' intelligence.

Because Xiu Er learned from their mouths that there was a small squad of demons stationed to the south.

Although he didn't know what those demons wanted to do.

But to be fair, these bandits were really bold, daring to rob in an area where demons appeared.

Wanting to collect [Magic], Xiu Er naturally wouldn't let this prey that had delivered itself to his doorstep slip away.

"Converting the magic power within the unit into Dimensional Energy... Conversion successful."

After emptying all the magic power in his body, under the magic detection of those magic users, Xiu Er would now be in a nearly invisible state.

And so, Xiu Er advanced in the direction of the demons that the bandits had mentioned.

However, when he arrived at the so-called camp, the place was already deserted.

Huh? Where did the demon go?

Xiu Er looked doubtfully at the ground, which bore traces of what seemed to have been a campsite.

But come to think of it, he had seen flames on the horizon earlier.

It was already evening, the sky covered by a black cloth studded with stars.

On the way here, Xiu Er had seen the glow of burning fire.

Following the scanned footprints, he walked out of the woods, and then saw, on the distant plain, the town ablaze with fire.

The gate was open; from behind the city walls, countless plumes of black smoke rose into the sky.

It seemed to be a town that had been conquered by others.

And Xiu Er's target should be inside that town, which was about to become ruins...

Chapter 6: The Fallen Town

As he approached the town, Xiu Er had already detected a large amount of energy within that matched the nature of demonic magic.

The Bio Detector told him that at least ten living beings still existed in the town.

The attacking demons had not yet left.

The environmental information Receiver picked up no sounds resembling survivors; it seemed the demons had already finished off everyone here.

Crossing the lowered drawbridge, Xiu Er smoothly entered this place, now turned into a sea of fire.

The first thing that met his eyes was the ground littered with mangled corpses.

Judging by their armor, they should have been the town's defenders, but judging by the scene, they had all perished here.

Some had their heads cut off, some had their bodies split in half from the middle, some had become dried corpses, some were covered in blood that seemed to have burst out, some were disemboweled with their entrails spilling everywhere...

The ground full of corpses reflected the reality that this town had become a living hell.

Xiu Er walked slowly along the streets shattered by magical attacks, surrounded by ruins and buildings that had collapsed or been blown open.

In this era, humans who had not yet learned magic could only rely on their physical bodies to resist the demons with their various magical abilities when facing them.

Along the way, Xiu Er had seen it all.

He coldly recorded the scenes before his eyes, storing them away.

"Hm, still a fish that slipped through the net?"

A voice came from behind Xiu Er. He turned to look.

He saw a burly demon warrior with a pair of huge horns on his head, currently sitting on the roof of a relatively intact house.

In his right hand, he held a giant axe twice as long as Xiu Er, resting it on his shoulder; in his left hand, he gripped a human corpse, but judging by its state, it looked like it had been half-eaten by some animal.

"Whatever, let's end this quickly."

The burly demon said flatly, casually tossing away the "snack" in his hand, picking up his giant axe, and looking at Xiu Er with cold eyes.

"Would you mind not moving?"

This demon had never once paid attention to the expression of the purple-haired human girl before him.

In his eyes, this human had no magic at all, not even the physique of a warrior.

She looked completely like a harmless human.

Raising his giant axe, the burly demon used the same method he had used to attack other humans before, applying it to this human girl.

The powerful demon warrior lifted his axe and in an instant appeared before her.

Seeing Xiu Er's seemingly unresponsive expression, the burly demon was certain that with this swing, this human girl would surely be cleaved in two.

······

······

"Zera hasn't returned yet?"

In the central square of the town, a handsome man dressed in a noble uniform with a black-and-red color scheme stood by the fountain. His long red hair was tied into a ponytail falling down his back, and the sharply angled black horns on his head revealed that beneath his handsome appearance was merely a man-eating beast.

The man asked calmly of the man beside him, dressed in a butler's uniform.

This man also had a pair of demonic horns.

"Yes, Lord Dracole, the warrior Zera has not yet returned."

Besides them, there were several other demons of various appearances and builds, clad in armor, resembling guards.

Clearly, they were the culprits behind this attack on the town.

Hearing this answer, the demon named Dracole thought for a moment but didn't pay it much attention.

"Never mind him. He's probably having another bout of appetite, likely searching the city for 'tasty' snacks."

Among demons, strength was what commanded respect.

The more powerful a demon's magic, the higher their status among their kind, while weaker demons could seek out stronger kin to serve as their servants, thereby gaining protection.

"Have the 'humans' in this city been cleaned out?"

"My lord, they have all been completely eliminated."

A demon woman draped in a cloak replied.

Her name was Leslie, a magic user specializing in [Stealth Magic], a spell that could completely conceal her form and suppress her magical aura, making her an invisible assassin.

She was one of Dracole's subordinates, tasked with infiltrating and destroying the defensive mechanisms.

This siege had begun with her assassinating all the guards on the city walls and lowering the drawbridge.

"I'm certain. And every human corpse lying on the ground, I stabbed through the heart one by one."

"Wrap it up. Notify Zera, tell him to come back."

"Yes."

Though demons lacked empathy, which meant they cared nothing for the lives of any creature other than themselves, demons were also selfish. To Dracole, Zera was his servant, and thus his personal property, so it was only reasonable not to let his property run off.

But just as he issued the order, a commotion from not far away drew the attention of every demon present, including himself.

Boom---!!!

Dracole looked toward that direction.

"This aura... it's Zera. He's... fighting?"

"Leslie, are you sure you finished checking?"

The air around them instantly grew heavy, pressing down on all the demons present.

By now, the demon assassin was drenched in cold sweat.
