Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1464 - 1029: The Horrific Presence in the Abyss (Part 2)

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1029: The Horrific Presence in the Abyss (Part 2)

"Boom——"

As the Abyssal Touch completely broke apart and the dark aura was about to dissipate, even the spatial vibrations were fading, causing the passage connecting the two dimensions to slowly close. Yet, as if unwilling to accept this fate, a terrifying presence extended a hand towards this world amidst a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and earth.

The hand was hideous and enormous, covered entirely with pitch-black scales, resembling a giant pillar supporting the sky. It resisted the closing dimensional passage and slowly reached for Marfa’s Sword in the sky.

The fierce, evil, chaotic, and dark aura of the hand left Naisa, Melo, and the others trembling in fear, unable to move, only able to watch helplessly as the hand reached for Marfa’s Sword, powerless to do anything.

"Snap!"

At the critical moment, with the sound of a finger snap, Reiger’s figure appeared beside Marfa’s Sword.

The terrifying giant hand that could seem to cover the sky and blot out the sun collided savagely with Reiger.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a massive explosion echoing into the clouds, a storm-like shockwave emanated from in front of the giant hand that seemed to cover the sky.

Reiger stood mid-air beside Marfa’s Sword, calmly observing the giant hand reaching towards him.

The giant hand halted mere meters from Reiger, completely blocked by the Inviolability of the [Limitless Jujutsu].

However, the owner of the hand did not seem willing to relent after a failed strike and continued to unleash power, clashing with Inviolability, generating shockwaves between the two, creating a storm that engulfed the entire world.

Countless people were swept away by the storm generated by the shockwaves.

Countless buildings shattered within the storm formed by the shockwaves.

The already dilapidated manor was now like the proverbial camel crushed by the last straw, utterly destroyed in the storm.

"[Nine Webs]——[Polarization]——[Crow and Declaration]——[Between the Surface and the Interior]."

Seeing the owner of the giant hand unwilling to cease, a cold light flashed in Reiger’s eyes as he formed seals with his hands and chanted incantations.

Spell power burned like Flowing Flames around him.

Red and blue lights appeared respectively in Reiger’s left and right hands, converging and merging into an invisible force.

This force was both obscure and astonishing.

"[Void Style·Purple]."

Reiger bent his finger and flicked the imaginary mass, formed by the fusion of [Azure] and [Crimson], towards the direction of the giant hand.

"Boom!!!"

Another deafening roar, as the astonishing imaginary mass struck the hideous and horrifying giant hand at nearly point-blank range.

In an instant, the shockwave storm between the giant hand and the Inviolability was torn apart, and the hideous and terrifying giant hand was like it had been sliced countless times by an invisible sharp sword, being shredded and cut along with the shattered space, dividing everything into countless pieces.

Space shattered like glass.

The giant hand also crumbled into countless chunks of flesh, splattering black blood across the sky.

Within the black blood, flames burned, igniting a sea of fire on the ground upon contact.

The invisible imaginary mass continued slicing forward, cutting through the shockwave storm, slicing through the terrifying giant hand, and then cutting through the swirling dark aura, vanishing into the closing passage, disappearing from this world.

Moments later, a terrifying roar erupted once more from the other side of the abyss.

Only this time, instead of a roar, it was a cry of pain.

"Clatter!"

The shattered space began to repair, and soon returned to its original state.

Simultaneously, the passage to the abyss closed, once again completely isolating the two dimensions.

The world returned to calm, leaving only a wasteland of ruins and a sea of blazing fire where the manor once stood.

Countless people struggled, emerging with difficulty from the various corners of the ruins, staring blankly at the young man standing mid-air.

For a long time, they could not return to their senses.

...

Ten minutes later, in the wasteland of ruins where the manor once stood.

Thanks to the efforts of the Empire’s Knight Order and the Holy Court’s clergy, the fire was soon brought under control.

However, possibly due to the magical flames residing within the Demon Lord’s flesh and blood, even though the fire was controlled, it could not be effectively extinguished, causing the ruins to continue burning.

No matter if water was poured or dirt was covered, the fire could not be extinguished.

Finally, the Holy Court’s clergy used cleansing magic to purify the Abyssal Aura within the ruins, and after purifying the remnants of the Demon Lord’s magic power, the fire was gradually extinguished.

But using this method to extinguish the fire was undoubtedly inefficient.

To completely extinguish this entire sea of fire might require working until morning to accomplish.

Then, the injured received aid, and the unfortunate deceased had their remains addressed, as a clearing was swiftly created at the center of the ruins to allow Reiger and the others a place to land.

Reiger stood there, Marfa’s Sword now secured at his waist, clothed once again in the pristine attire of the Holy Court, his appearance restored.

But, Reiger looked somewhat troubled as he gazed ahead.

There, Naisa and Melo, these two noble young women, had both lowered their heads deeply in a posture seeking Reiger’s forgiveness.

No, this was indeed an act of seeking forgiveness.

The reason for their penance, naturally, stemmed from previous events.

"Enough." Reiger said for the umpteenth time, "I already said I don’t blame you. Won’t you raise your heads?"

Hearing this, Naisa and Melo not only refused to raise their heads but lowered them even further.

Especially Naisa, who wore an expression full of guilt.

It couldn’t be helped.

"Despite proclaiming that I would ensure your safety, I ended up leaving your side without regard for your safety, allowing you to be attacked by assassins. This is an unforgivable mistake," Naisa murmured, "Please punish me."

"Indeed," Melo also smiled bitterly, "Although we hadn’t expected the enemy to send hired assassins after you, it doesn’t excuse us from atoning."

"No matter what, you were indeed attacked, and it was due to us leaving your side."

"Strictly speaking, this can’t even be described as a mistake, it is a complete betrayal."

"Please impose severe punishment, let us receive our due outcome."

With that, behind Melo, Luan, Andre, and the two Knight Captains of the Sky Division also bowed towards Reiger, full of shame. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The thought of Reiger getting attacked by assassins because they recklessly charged forward filled their hearts with both regret and fear.

If not for this savior possessing extraordinary power that surprised everyone, they might have already lost the savior they had been waiting for so long, along with the hard-earned hope.

With this realization, they wanted to kneel before Reiger.

Just as Melo said, this wasn’t a mistake, it was a sin.

Abandoning one’s master, regardless of the faction, usually warranted execution.

Of course, if Reiger were to speak, he would say...

"I am not your master to whom you owe allegiance, just a stranger from afar."

Reiger truly did not take this matter to heart.

To put it bluntly, from beginning to end, Reiger never felt the need for protection, nor did he believe himself to be someone Naisa and Melo served.

The notion of protecting Reiger, ensuring his safety, was entirely Naisa and Melo’s self-imposed obligation.

Therefore, Reiger did not perceive it as being abandoned by them.

"You were only doing what you thought you should at that time, no need for this."

Even as Reiger said this, Naisa, Melo, and the others still refused to raise their heads.

This gave Reiger quite a headache.
