Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 125

Xiao Xiunan claims he ate too much; do you think we, the people's police, would believe your nonsense?!

After some deliberation, the two finally gave in to the little rascal who was prone to crying at the drop of a hat, and Jing Shen relented, agreeing to secretly keep the stray cat at home.

"Um, I forgot to bring my reference books back. I'll go find them. Could you watch the house for me?"

"Um, okay."

Xiao Xiu, who was happily playing with the cat, didn't notice the girl's expression at all, or rather, he didn't even glance at her. At this moment, his eyes were only on this fluffy and cute creature.

Jing Shen took a few steps toward the entrance, then suddenly turned back and warned, "Don't let the cat run outside."

"Uh-huh."

With a doting smile on her lips, Jing Shen emerged from the newly renovated door.

Then she saw a suspicious figure squatting in the corridor of the student dormitory, putting up small advertisements.

Oh, upon closer inspection, it turns out to be that red-haired magician pasting runes on the wall.

"What are you doing?"

“I want to leave ‘The Witch Hunter King’ here to protect him. After all, when we head to Misawa Academy, other magicians might try to take the Forbidden Arts Index. He’s such a troublesome guy.”

While sticking on small cards and complaining, the woman in front of him showed a satisfied smile in front of the purifying god.

Do you like the Forbidden Arts Index?

The girl, who has no memory, asked so bluntly; anyone who isn't blind can probably see what she's thinking.

"Ba...baka! Why are you suddenly saying something like that?!"

A blush instantly spread across the girl's face, and even the cigarette that had been hanging there fell to the ground. Her eyes darted around as she said, "He's someone I should protect, but definitely not someone I can fall in love with... so... um..."

The red-haired magician awkwardly tried to explain, his words revealing a guilty conscience.

"That's it."

Jing Shen wore a knowing smile, his eyes conveying a knowing look, but he remained silent.

While Jessie and Tyr were on their way to Misawa Academy, Pendragon observed that the "Illusionist" incident had already fully erupted on the other side.

The battle between the Thunder King and the multi-powered user wasn't as exciting as I'd imagined; it was just a bit flashy. In the end, he finished off the fantasy beast with a single railgun shot.

P.S.: I got my computer assembled today, and when I got home I realized it didn't come with a power cord. I had to buy one through a delivery service. By the time I finished assembling it and transferring the data, it was already very late, and I'm so tired! Goodnight!

There's a power outage at home.

As the title says, the power lines in my house were dug up, and the chapter I wrote yesterday died before I could even post it. I've been waiting for over twenty hours and the power still hasn't come back on. Now I have to bring my cat to an internet cafe and endure the secondhand smoke and noise to write. I'll update again tonight after the power comes back on, otherwise I'll be missing a chapter... emmmmmmmmm

Chapter 215 So scared that he spoke in Chinese (First Update)

Chapter 215

That's pretty impressive.

"Is this the Misawa Academy?"

To the background music of the antidote for the fantasy master, the Pure God and the magician arrive at this legendary cram school controlled by magicians, a few ordinary-looking buildings in Academy City.

"It seems there's nothing that can be done."

“There is really nothing suspicious about it.”

Tyr repeated what the Cleansing God had said, but emphasized certain words to draw the other person's attention.

As the goddess looked over, she began to explain, "However, the building itself can become a powerful barrier for alchemists."

"Is it very strong? That barrier..."

"Aureos Isaed, he is a descendant of Paracelsus, the alchemist of the Renaissance. How much do you know about alchemists?"

Sorry, all I know is the Renaissance.

"Can it turn other things into gold? Or concoct some kind of elixir of immortality?"

In short, let's take it literally. Such beings have been mentioned quite a few times in literary works; they are probably a group of people who know everything.

That's roughly how it is.

Tyr seemed too lazy to spend time explaining things to this magic newbie, so he gave him a vague reply and then picked out the useful information to say.

"However, alchemists originally existed for an ultimate goal."

"Ok?"

"That is to simulate everything in the world."

"What does that mean?"

Is it a game featuring blocky little people?

"If you could freely bring the things that an alarm clock imagines into the real world, what do you think the result would be?"

From then on, Academy City gained a new ally of justice.

"Huh? You can conjure up anything you want? If that's the case, you can't possibly win!"

Such a person is practically the king of the world.

"So what are your plans? Are you going to stay here and keep watch for me? If you're going to help, you'd better memorize the name and appearance of 'Vampire Killer' now."

After Tyr finished speaking, he took out a photo from his four-dimensional coat and threw it into Pure God's hand.

"Take a look at the photos. To be honest, I can't tell the difference between East Asian faces."

"Likewise, I still can't tell the difference between you and Americans."

The Pure Goddess accepted the "love-hate" dynamic between them and started arguing with her whenever she had a spare moment, beginning her evolution into a mature argumentative person.

"What's wrong? The way you look at her, her name seems to be Himegami Akiha."

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

I'd run into this guy before at McDonald's; he's a pretty strange person.

The Pure God followed Tyr toward the legendary alchemist's barrier. Wow, the door even has an automatic sensor; this alchemist certainly knows how to keep up with the times.

"How should I put it... it feels surprisingly ordinary here."

Jingshen turned his head to examine the inside of the alchemist's barrier and expressed his true feelings.

"Of course. This place is still ostensibly a cram school."

Students in their respective school uniforms moved in and out of the hall, busy with their own things, just like at Jing Shen's school.

"Huh? What's that?"

However, among the students who were engaged in normal activities, Jing Shen quickly noticed the discordant element and pointed to the load-bearing column in the upper left corner.

Beneath the pillar sat a medieval-style knight in armor, his red cloak draped to the ground.

Only when they got closer did they realize that, in addition to the red cloak, the armor was also covered in a red paint, as if it had been deliberately made into a war-damaged exhibit.

"Is it a broken robot?"

Tyr, who had been expressionless, noticed the uncertainty in the Goddess's expression and said, "What's wrong? There's nothing here. Moving quickly is the smart thing to do."

"Ah, um."

Jingshen turned her gaze elsewhere.

"But it might be quite strange for you."

"What?"

Jing Shen's gaze returned to the red-haired girl, and she asked curiously, "Since it's a robot, then it must be a field of science, right?"

As someone living in Academy City, how could I not have seen robots? I deal with them every single day.

"What are you talking about! It's just a corpse."

As an ordinary student, I've only ever fought with scum like female hooligans and delinquents; I rarely even got bloodied.

Tyr had previously tried to be considerate of the goddess's feelings and urged her to leave, but after seeing the girl's relaxed and bewildered expression, he felt it was better to let her prepare herself mentally first.

Otherwise, if she were to face that alchemist with that mindset, she might end up as a corpse outside the barrier.

"what?!"

Jing Shen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression instantly turned terrifying.

It wasn't until Tyr pointed it out that she noticed the texture of the armor and the pungent, unpleasant smell in the air.

The bright red liquid had even begun to slowly trickle down to the soles of her feet...

"Corpse?!"

Even the spirit was so frightened that he spoke in Chinese.

"It should be the Thirteen Knights of the Roman Catholic Church. Judging from the looks of it, they have been completely wiped out."

"why?"

The girl's voice sounded unbelievable, and her tone became unstable.

"This is a battlefield. What's so strange about a few corpses lying on the ground?"

Tyr nonchalantly exhaled a smoke ring. Her words formed a stark and striking contrast with the students who were still chatting and laughing as they passed by, creating an overwhelming sense of incongruity.

Why didn't it cause panic?

Jing Shen didn't see the corpse inside the armor directly. He quickly recovered and looked at the students in the hall, who seemed to be completely unable to see the corpse, with some strangeness.

This is like a more advanced form of exile, completely separating ordinary people from magicians into two different dimensions.

Before Tyr could answer, a boy, seemingly oblivious to Jing Shen and the other woman, greeted his acquaintances over their bodies and walked past the bloodstain in front of Jing Shen as if he had mastered the art of walking on blood without leaving a trace, his feet not touching a single drop of blood.

Jing Shen discovered that he had not touched the bloodstains at all. He guessed that to the students here, these people were like ghosts; they could not see them, could not hear them, and could not even touch them.

"This is both the surface and the inside."

Tyr calmly smoked her cigarette; as someone from the magical world, she had seen this kind of situation many times before.

"Clam?"

P.S.: I came back from collecting trash... no, I came back reeking of smoke from the internet cafe. It was all horrible noise from people playing games and the pervasive smell of smoke. Ugh. The last time I went to an internet cafe was last year during the National Day holiday when I spent seven days straight playing PUBG with my friends, lol.

Chapter 216 She really is a tsundere, isn't she?

Chapter 216

The Cleansing Spirit is responsible for raising questions.

“This is a coin. The students on the surface of the coin won’t notice the people on the back. That is, us outsiders.”

Tyr took out a foreign coin and placed it in front of the Cleansing God, pointing to both sides of the coin to indicate that they were now in roughly different spaces.

"We have absolutely no way to interfere with them."

Upon hearing this, Jing Shen subconsciously placed his right hand in front of him to examine it, thinking, "Let me shatter your ridiculous fantasy!"

Thinking this, the girl squatted down, preparing to use her invincible right hand to destroy the barrier around this place.

No, there isn't.

"?"

Before the goddess's right hand could even touch the ground, it was interrupted by Tyr's voice. Seeing the girl's puzzled expression as she looked up, she patiently explained:

"As long as the core of the magic is not destroyed, this barrier cannot be broken."

The principle is the same as in her "The Witch Hunter": as long as there is magic in the environment within the range of the barrier's influence, the destroyed parts will continuously regenerate.

"But the core should be on the outside, right?"

This is only natural, as everyone understands that the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

After Tyr finished speaking, he turned around and made the sign of the cross on his chest, with his back to the God of Purity.

"It seems the reasons for fighting have increased."

The red-haired girl walked away expressionlessly, a cigarette dangling from her lips. Although she didn't say anything harsh, Jing Shen sensed that her aura had instantly changed. Was she angry?
