Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1757 - 1185: Blocking the Way! You’re Not Allowed to Pass? (Part 2)

A very thin, very long blade that resembles a sharp spindle rather than a sword.

The spindle-like slender sword blade broke through the sound barrier, streaking towards Reiger with crackling lightning.

"Puff!"

In the next instant, the blade pierced through Reiger’s figure, shattering it like bursting a bubble.

The shattered figure of Reiger swayed and vanished without a drop of blood spilling.

That was only natural.

The blade had only pierced an illusion.

The real Reiger had already halted when the sword blade violently shot over, and like teleportation, left the original spot.

When Reiger reappeared, he was no longer in mid-air, but at the spot where the sword blade had just shot skyward.

There was a person here.

"...!"

The person’s complexion changed dramatically upon seeing Reiger abruptly appear in front of them.

Reiger spoke indifferently as though he had been standing there for a long time.

"Didn’t your mother teach you not to randomly shoot things in the wild at night?"

As he spoke, Reiger’s hand extended outward, slowly yet swiftly pressing against the suddenly changed-attacker.

"[Eight]."

With a brief incantation, Reiger’s hand pressed against the attacker, erupting with a mighty magical force.

"Squish!""Squish!""Squish!""Squish!""Squish!"...

In the next moment, accompanied by countless ripping sounds and small slicing lights, the person was shredded into countless pieces.

As if disassembled on the spot, the attacker turned into numerous fragments scattered on the ground, with a remaining expression of shock and anger.

Yet, despite being cut into so many pieces, not a single drop of blood was spilled.

"A puppet?"

Seeing the complete picture of the pile of meat chunks on the ground, Reiger raised an eyebrow.

He roughly guessed who had come.

"So, it was you who orchestrated this?"

Reiger cast his gaze ahead, speaking thus.

And where Reiger’s sight reached, a figure slowly emerged from behind a large tree.

"Surprised, aren’t you?" The face of a man full of levity sneered coldly, saying: "We also came to this Hidden Land."

The newcomer turned out to be one of the holy envoys of the Sacred Hall—"Trillion".

"Indeed, I did not expect." Reiger remarked indifferently, "How did you manage to get here?"

Besides himself, no one should have been able to traverse that intense blizzard and reach the magic array located in the Cassafigel Mountains.

Therefore, Reiger truly hadn’t anticipated meeting these conspirators here.

And in response to Reiger’s inquiry, the other party replied.

"Of course, ’Ice Girl’ sister brought us here!" The man full of levity, as if flaunting a treasure, said proudly: "Just a snowstorm? For my ’Ice Girl’ sister, it’s like returning home."

Reiger naturally wouldn’t believe such nonsense.

If Charity truly had such abilities, Yanifet wouldn’t have defeated her so easily and pulled the Ice Holy Sword from her hands.

But, thinking of this matter, Reiger suddenly recalled a conversation with Yanifet.

...

It was after the current queen of the Tistis Kingdom had been rescued by Reiger and had her curse removed, that Reiger and Yanifet had a conversation.

At that time, they had just left the current queen’s bedroom.

"Speaking of, didn’t you defeat that female Martial God?"

Seeing Yanifet in a good mood, Reiger suddenly remembered a question and asked.

"Why haven’t I seen the Holy Sword of Tistis recovered by you?"

According to Yanifet, she not only defeated Charity but also pulled out the National Guardian Divine Weapon, the Inheritance Sword, from her hand.

With this, Yanifet confirmed her lineage and gained legitimacy for ascendancy.

But since meeting Yanifet, Reiger hadn’t seen any trace of that Holy Sword.

Yanifet was always empty-handed, not carrying any weapons with her.

Did she not bring the sword?

Reiger thought to himself.

As a result, Yanifet gave Reiger an unexpected answer.

"I did not recover the Inheritance Sword."

Yanifet’s straightforward words almost made Reiger fail to react in time.

"You didn’t reclaim that sword?"

Reiger was astonished.

"That’s right." Yanifet glanced at Reiger, seemingly knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Indeed, the Inheritance Sword is a treasure of Tistis, and it was an important treasure I inherited from the tribe in the past. It should naturally be held by me again."

"But that young girl’s talent exceeded my previous expectations, which surprised me greatly."

Yanifet continued to speak to Reiger as she walked forward without looking back.

"In the battle with that young girl, although I won, she still managed to wound me."

"Despite her strength being much weaker than mine, that extraordinary intuition left me unguarded for a moment, causing me to suffer a significant misstep."

"Of course, that’s not the most important thing."

"What’s most important is that the compatibility between the young girl and the Inheritance Sword is even higher than mine."

Yanifet spoke as if she had discovered something interesting, savoring it like a delicacy.

"If that young girl had strength equal to mine, then I probably wouldn’t be her match at all."

"The incredibly high compatibility with the Inheritance Sword will enable her to unleash even greater powers of the Holy Sword."

"Coupled with that super strong intuition that even I don’t possess..."

In simple terms, though Yanifet won, she was fascinated by Charity’s talent and potential and acknowledged her.

So...

"I decided to temporarily leave the Inheritance Sword in her hands."

Yanifet said with remarkable calmness about a major decision.

"After all, she’s also a descendant of Tistis; giving it to her is not considered an outflow."

"Of course, it’s only temporary."

"I promise, unless one day she can defeat me in the future, otherwise, within three years at most, I will reclaim the Inheritance Sword."

...

Recalling this matter, Reiger was silent inside.

He knew that Yanifet had developed a fondness for talent.

Therefore, she gave Charity a test.

Even though Reiger mentioned the existence of the sanctuary to Yanifet, telling her Charity had joined a dangerous organization, Yanifet still did not retract this decision.

Given this, the most important Inheritance Sword of the Tistis clan is currently still in Charity’s possession.

"Compatibility with the Ice Holy Sword higher than Yanifet...?"

Maybe, the sanctuary people could pass through that extraordinarily strong storm and reach the Casafeigel Mountains for this reason.

Otherwise, when Yanifet held the Ice Holy Sword, she couldn’t reach the Casafeigel Mountains; Charity, who is weaker than Yanifet, has no reason to achieve it using the Ice Holy Sword.

But because the compatibility with the Ice Holy Sword is higher than Yanifet, Charity might be able to exploit more power of the Ice Holy Sword to accomplish this.

"Alright, it doesn’t matter anymore."

Reiger set aside this matter, looking at the man across from him with a frivolous expression, he suddenly smiled.

"It’s just, you stand in my way like this, what is your purpose?"

Actually, Reiger already understood the meaning behind "Trillo’s" behavior.

Precisely because he understood, his attitude appeared somewhat amused.

The frivolous smile on "Trillo’s" face gradually faded.

"The ’Ice Maiden’ sister is right ahead."

"Trillo" said expressionlessly.

"I know."

Reiger was unsurprised.

Upon sensing that extreme icy power, Reiger already knew its source was Charity.

Charity is sending an invitation to him.

Unfortunately...

"I cannot let you pass."

"Trillo" spoke with immense resolve.

"Why?"

Reiger asked calmly.

"Trillo" did not speak, merely stared at Reiger.

From his body, an imposing aura gradually emerged.
