Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1438 - 1012: Sphinx

"Wow——"

When Reiger stepped out from the Church, even before he could take in the view outside, a wave of loud cheers startled him.

"The Messiah!"

"It’s the Messiah!"

"The Messiah has come out!"

Outside the Church, a sea of people unfolded before Reiger’s eyes.

The clergy of the Church and the empire’s knights were holding back the dense crowd, yet they still enthusiastically pressed together.

"Messiah——Messiah——Messiah——"

The moment Reiger’s figure appeared in these people’s sight, it immediately sparked fervent cheers from everyone.

The crowd shouted in unison, the noise deafening.

Many shouted with such force, it could be described as hysterical, their faces flushed, excitement overwhelming.

Some were so overwhelmed they fainted on the spot, causing another commotion.

Witnessing this scene, Reiger couldn’t help but be stunned, pausing in his steps, unsure whether to proceed.

"Your Excellency." Naisa called upon Reiger and asked, "Do you find this noise bothersome?"

If Reiger were to confirm it, Naisa would likely immediately order the knights and clergy to forcibly disperse the crowd.

"...They haven’t left yet?"

Reiger wasn’t annoyed by this, just rather incredulous.

It’s been several days since his descent, had these people really gathered here the whole time, never leaving?

Their enthusiasm was astounding.

"It’s unavoidable." Naisa seemed to understand Reiger’s thoughts, yet wasn’t surprised, saying: "We’ve awaited the arrival of a Messiah for so very long."

Beside her, Melo and others nodded heavily.

Yes, far too long, so long that the Messiah’s existence had become a legend, nearly beyond belief.

Eleven thousand years, in Reiger’s previous life, not just nations, but civilizations would have changed countless times.

In such a long span, the Source World had been resisting the Abyss without a Messiah, enduring countless sacrifices, tragedies, despair, and sorrow.

If not for the two Holy Swords, which assisted the Source World in sealing the Abyss, humanity might have gone extinct.

Now, the legendary Messiah had finally descended again, bringing a conceivable hope to resist the Abyss.

Remembering that day when he first descended, everyone present, including Naisa, had been moved to tears, uttering "Thank you for your arrival."

At that time, Reiger hadn’t fully understood their emotions.

But now, through Naisa’s narrative and the many historical records in the library, Reiger finally grasped their excitement, their emotion, their tears with a new appreciation.

To them, he had become hope, faith, a bearer of noble ideals.

Understanding this, Reiger would no longer utter phrases like "What’s this all about?"

"Your Excellency." Melo quietly smiled at Reiger: "Why not give them a response?"

"After all, they are all here for you."

Upon hearing this, Reiger instinctively nodded.

After a moment’s thought, Reiger’s heart stirred, and he made a response that would undoubtedly stir the hearts of everyone present.

"Come forth, Marfa."

He raised his hand high, making a summoning motion.

In the next moment——

"Buzz!"

With a resonating buzz, brilliant light surged across the world like tidal waves.

"Swish!"

A stream of light shot out from within the Church, piercing the sky, soaring from the headquarters to the clouds, then arcing back like a meteor towards Reiger.

Reiger skillfully grasped the stream of light, clutching it as it flew into his palm.

The light subsided, revealing a dazzling, radiant long sword.

The Holy Sword Marfa, descended.

Light emanated from Marfa’s blade, bathing everyone present in a Holy Light.

"————"

The entire crowd halted their shouting in unison.

Watching the Holy Sword gleaming with brilliant light, seeing the young man holding it, bathed in Holy Light, they trembled, thrilled, their faces reddening further.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh——!!!"

Seconds later, a cheer powerful enough to scatter clouds resounded, causing the entire imperial capital Frosta to tremble.

In that moment, not just the ordinary citizens gathered, but even the knights maintaining order, the clergy, and those by Reiger’s side like Naisa, Melo, Luan, and Andre couldn’t help being moved.

This was not merely a response to the crowd here, but a response to the whole Source World.

Reiger proved through his actions that he indeed received the recognition of the Holy Sword, was its Master, and was the Messiah returning after eleven thousand years.

He was telling everyone, he had arrived.

So, there was no need to worry anymore.

"Your Excellency."

Melo stepped forward, holding in his hands a sheath, unsure when he had acquired it.

It was a sheath as resplendent as the Holy Sword Marfa, resplendent and radiant, as if crafted from Gold and jewels.
