Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!
Chapter 486 - 485

Chapter 486: 485

"Cough, cough cough!"

The Paladin coughed as he stood up from the rubble, holding his longsword in one hand, and looked around. The beam of light had come so suddenly that he hadn’t had time to react. Fortunately, as a Paladin, he was robust. If it had been a normal person, they might have been killed by now...

"Hey, are you alright!"

While shouting, the Paladin reached out and grabbed a sleeve from the rubble nearby, then dragged the Mage out from it.

"Are you still alive?"

"I’m not dead yet, can’t you be gentler? If you pull any harder, I might actually die here... cough cough... watch out!"

Before the Mage had finished speaking, two Demon Wolves suddenly leaped out in front of them, one from the left and one from the right, lunging at the pair. The Paladin quickly turned and swung his sword at the Demon Wolves, knocking them down to the ground.

"Oww... oww..."

However, this was futile, for accompanied by a low howl, pairs of eyes shimmering with red radiance emerged in front of them. Soon after, the two saw a pack of Demon Wolves, the size of buffalo, slowly advancing from the other side of the smoke. Their mouths open and drooling at the edges, they stared at the two men as if looking at their prey.

"It looks like this time, we are really doomed."

At this moment, the Paladin was covered in blood all over, and the Holy Light on him was as dim as a five-watt bulb, while the Mage behind him grimaced—having broken his leg when he fell, he hadn’t even stood up yet.

"I never imagined that the end of my life would be spent with you..."

"I was thinking the same. I originally thought I could comfortably pass away in bed surrounded by my children and grandchildren, heading to Heaven..."

Looking at the Demon Creatures that had already closed in on them, both men wore bitter smiles. They could imagine what might happen to them next. The spells were used up, the Holy Light was almost gone, and they were both injured. There was no escaping in a short time, in these circumstances, it seemed there was only one path left to take. But...

Come on, let’s fight them off, one by one.

Clenching his teeth, the Paladin gripped his longsword once again. Just as he was about to charge forward and fight desperately, suddenly, a tender voice called out from behind him.

"Uncle, step aside!"

What’s going on?

Upon hearing the voice, the Paladin was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, rolling on the spot while pressing the Mage’s head down to the ground. Then the Paladin saw a dazzling radiance shoot just past overhead from above himself, and the next moment, he turned his head only to see a beam of lightning striking into the midst of the Chaos Monsters, followed instantly by an explosion. Accompanying the blinding flash of electricity, the explosion erupted from the ground, effectively stalling the further advance of the Chaos Monsters.

"What is this...?"

Seeing this scene, both the Paladin and the Mage were startled.

"Is this a spell?"

"No, this is not a spell... this is..."

"Ah, sorry sorry, are you guys alright?"

Just as the two were still trying to comprehend what had happened, several petite girls, who appeared to be under ten years old, ran up to them. One of the girls, with her hair tied in twin ponytails, waved at them with a smile.

"Are you guys okay, uncle, are you hurt?"

"Ah...?"

Looking at the few little girls in front of them, both men were completely baffled. This was the front line of the Northern Fortress, a battlefield fighting against Chaos Monsters, so why were there several little girls here? Who were they? What were they doing here? How did they get here?

"Hey, mister? Are you guys okay, or did you bash your brains out?"

The twin-tailed girl looked at the two dazed men, couldn’t help but curl her lips, and waved her hand in front of them. It was only then that they seemed to finally snap out of it.

"Ah, I’m fine... but his leg is broken..."

"Ugh... We didn’t bring any healing potions... Natsuse, what should we do?"

"Let’s take these two to the rear first."

As she spoke, the two saw a girl with short golden hair walking over.

"Brother Fang Zheng ordered us to block the gap. My Lightning Storm only cleared a small part of the front just now. I can feel that these creatures are agitated and gathering here. I think we’re going to be in trouble soon..."

"Hey, I say, little girl..."

Hearing this, the Paladin finally couldn’t help but speak up to ask.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? You know this is a battlefield, it’s very dangerous... Watch out!!"

"Whoosh!!"

Just as the Paladin finished speaking, they saw a creature that looked like a five-meter-tall crocodile lunging from within, opening its massive jaws toward the girls. Seeing this, the Paladin quickly tried to rush over to protect the girl, but what happened next made his eyes widen in disbelief.

Just as the Chaos Monster lunged, the twin-tailed girl suddenly turned around, and like a cannonball, leaped from the ground and kicked hard against the body of the gigantic Chaos Monster. What happened next nearly made both the Paladin and the Mage’s eyes pop out— the five-meter-tall Chaos Monster actually bent over backward from the girl’s kick and flew backward, howling in pain. The twin-tailed girl then did a somersault in the air and landed steadily on the ground, triumphantly smiling and flashing a ’V’ sign at the others.

"Hahaha, how about that? I’m awesome, right? I thought the creatures Brother Fang Zheng spoke of were terrifying. Now they seem no different from Intestinal Creatures..."

"...Nobiru, aren’t you afraid of being seen jumping so high?"

"Of course not, I’m wearing safety shorts! I wouldn’t let anyone other than Brother Fang Zheng see!"

"You, who exactly are you..."

Looking at the two girls, the Paladin felt his mind go completely blank. The scene he had just witnessed was almost unbelievable— of course, if it were an individual at the Elite Pinnacle or Master level, such a feat wouldn’t be difficult. But what the Paladin couldn’t believe was that the little girl had kicked the Chaos Monster flying without him detecting any burst of the Power of the Stars from her!

That is, the little girl had kicked the Chaos Monster flying entirely with her physical strength!

Is she even human?

"———!!"

Just then, the roar of the Chaos Monster echoed once again, and the previously appearing golden-haired girl’s expression changed slightly.

"They’re coming! I’ll cast the Psionic Shield, Nobiru, Midori, help clear all the monsters at the breach in the wall. Tina, cover us!"

"Okay! Mister, you guys go rest at the back."

Hearing the golden-haired girl’s command, the two saw the twin-tailed girl nod, then she approached them, grabbed their collars, and before they could say anything, they suddenly felt a swoosh of wind, and when they landed again, they found themselves on flat ground behind the city wall. The twin-tailed girl then patted their shoulders and immediately dashed forward again with a "swoosh".

At the same time, the dense Chaos Monsters, as if agitated, began to furiously attack the breach in the city wall. Watching the countless monsters, Natsuse’s expression turned serious, then she slowly raised her hands.

Instantly, a shining Psionic Barrier emerged in front of Natsuse, acting like a thin film that blocked the monsters outside the city wall.
