Attacked by the Army

Thanks to the Heavenly Restriction that granted him superhuman abilities, Eiji possessed senses beyond those of a normal human. Moreover, he remained vigilant even while sleeping.

His eyes opened upon hearing the distant sound of engines.

Sitting up, he earnestly listened to the approaching sounds.

"This sound... A motor engine?"

Still uncertain, Eiji quickly organized his belongings and stored them in the Storage Ring.

Afterward, he leaped through the opening. Instantly, the sun's intense rays hit him.

Ignoring the hot desert temperature, Eiji ran toward the source of the noise.

His running speed was exceptionally fast, leaving a trail of sand dust behind him.

A few minutes later, he saw a group of people riding motorcycles. He decided to stop and not approach them hastily.

As Eiji emerged, they also noticed his presence. Though there was still a distance between them, he could hear their conversation.

"A human? What is he doing here alone?" The commander wondered.

"Commander, Witch's detector detected Magical Photons from that young man. Besides, what is this?! I've never seen such a large amount of Magical Photons before." Exclaimed one person, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

"Are you sure he's a Witch? Aren't Witchs always female? There has never been a male Witch except for their disciples." Doubted the man next to him.

He couldn't believe it. It was common knowledge that Witchs were women.

"I'm not lying, see for yourself!"

Feeling their skepticism, the man showed them the screen of the device he held. As a result, everyone who saw it was astonished.

"Because the detector indicates that the man is a Witch, there's only one thing we must do. Kill him!" The commander declared firmly.

"Ohhhhh!"

"Kill the Witch!"

"He might be the first male Witch. If we take him to the capital, we'll surely receive many bonuses."

Everyone unquestioningly followed their commander's decision. Then, they rushed toward Eiji.

(Witch? They seem to misunderstand and think I'm a Witch. Well, I'll find out after asking.) Eiji thought, restraining his curiosity.

When the distance between both sides was only 10 meters, the commander ordered them to shoot.

"Fire!"

*Da Da Da Da*

They aimed their firearms at Eiji and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In an instant, a rain of bullets showered Eiji without giving him a chance to utter a single word.

However, what they saw was not a body riddled with bullets; instead, all the bullets stopped a few meters in front of him, as if halted by telekinesis.

"Change strategy; everyone, prepare for close combat!" The commander gave another order.

This wasn't the first time he encountered a Witch immune to gunfire. However, such Witchs were rare, and those capable of easily withstanding a bullet storm were high-class Witchs.

"Attack!"

After dismounting from their motorcycles, they rushed to attack Eiji with sharp swords.

Unfortunately, the same scene repeated. No matter how they attacked Eiji, the assault always stopped, never reaching him.

"Keep attacking! This monster can't maintain its invincible state for long." The commander shouted to boost his subordinates' morale.

"Calling someone you've just met a monster, you're truly impolite." Eiji spoke calmly, showing no anger at the insults.

"Witchs are monsters; you all must die!" The commander didn't hide his disgust, continuing to swing his sword.

"It seems the situation of Witchs in this world isn't very favorable."

These people couldn't penetrate the Infinity, Eiji observed their equipment.

First, he analyzed the motorcycles parked not far from him. Whether it was the engine structure or model, it was the first time he had seen such a motorcycle, even in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Second, the firearms the others used were a model Eiji had never seen before.

Third, the swords they used were advanced technology, as the blade would emerge from the hilt when someone pressed a button.

Fourth, the attackers wore combat suits that enhanced their physical strength beyond that of a normal human. Eiji deduced this after observing the slashing power they unleashed upon him.

In conclusion, Eiji suspected that science in this world was more advanced than in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

"Which country's army are you?" Eiji asked.

"Damn Witch! Don't you even know that the Kingdom of Lydia is hunting your species? It seems you've isolated yourself from other Witchs, so you don't know this common knowledge." The commander sneered after hearing his question.

"Kingdom of Lydia? Is it powerful?" Eiji continued trying to gather information.

"Nonsense! The Kingdom of Lydia is the strongest country in the world! With advances in science and technology, humanity no longer depends on Witchs! The presence of Witchs is no longer needed; now it's our turn to eradicate you as proof that humans are the true rulers of this world."

One soldier spoke with high spirits while relentlessly attacking.

"Kingdom of Lydia, huh..."

Relying on that keyword, Eiji accessed Lin Fan's memories. But he was disappointed not to find any anime related to the Kingdom of Lydia.

"There are two explanations for this. First, Lin Fan didn't watch this anime. And second, this world is not based on an anime. Well, the good news is, this world has a supernatural extension called Witchs. That means there's a power system in this world. So, my journey is not considered in vain."

"What are you babbling about?"

The soldiers became angry seeing Eiji ignore them and talk to himself.

"Where is the Kingdom of Lydia?"

"Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of knowing, Witch! Because you'll die here!"

"Since you're useless, you don't need to live anymore."

After ensuring he couldn't obtain any more information from them, Eiji began to take action.

With a speed invisible to the naked eye, he attacked everyone in the blink of an eye.

"Eh?"

When everyone realized, they found their heads turned backward. With wide-open eyes, they wanted to scream in horror, but no sound could come out of their mouths. Next, their bodies fell into the sand, and they died filled with complaints and fear.

This was the first time they encountered a Witch specialized in physical combat.

Eiji didn't even look back, walked toward the motorcycles, stored them in the Storage Ring, and left one motorcycle.

Sitting on the motorcycle seat, he started the engine.

"Controlling it is not much different from the motorcycles in my original world."

After understanding how to operate the motorcycle, Eiji twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle sped across the desert.

He didn't try to search for items on the soldiers' corpses. He realized he needed a password if he wanted to use their equipment.

So, he rode the motorcycle toward the direction from which the soldiers came.

"Witch... I really want to meet them." Eiji said calmly, but anticipation was evident in his eyes.
