Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1445 - 1017: I Can’t Help You

"Abyssal followers?"

Reiger squinted his eyes.

Reiger was not unaware of the existence of these tumors of the world. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Throughout various historical eras of the Source World, they have triggered major events, and the harm caused to the entire Source is second only to the Abyss’s invasion. Sometimes, they even cause more harm than small-scale invasions from the Abyss, making all the major life races in this world hate them to the core.

It’s well-known that, compared to invaders, traitors can sometimes be even more detestable.

Therefore, the hatred that various races and forces hold towards these Abyssal followers often exceeds that towards the Abyss itself.

Historically, these evil disciples have been involved in many invasions by the Abyss, and some invasion events were actually orchestrated by these Abyssal followers.

For example, two thousand years ago, in the north of the Source World, there was a country where the power of Abyssal followers held a Blood Sacrifice Ceremony. Not only was the entire population of this country sacrificed by the Abyssal followers to become the fodder of Abyssal monsters, but a rift leading to the Abyss was also opened there, causing a large-scale invasion of the Abyss.

During that invasion, multiple northern countries lost portions of their territories, and some nations were forced to relocate, with people being displaced, having to leave their homelands.

The deaths and injuries numbered not just in the hundreds of thousands or millions.

Events like these have occurred multiple times in history, which makes it understandable why all the powers and races in the Source World would hold an intense grudge against the Abyssal followers.

And given their devotion to the Abyss, once they learn of the Savior’s return, they are bound to try every means to inform the Abyss and organize relentless assassination attempts against them.

Naisa had also warned Reiger.

"Abyssal followers are different from us Source World beings, their power is very peculiar."

"Some individuals, even if loyal to us and never thinking of betrayal, can still have their minds, spirits, and even souls corrupted through the abilities of Abyssal followers, unknowingly becoming their aides."

"Thus, your Excellency must remain vigilant at all times. Even if facing me, should you detect anything amiss, do not hesitate; distance yourself from me as soon as possible, and under no circumstances let me approach."

This is what makes the Abyssal followers so terrifying, their almost omnipresent corrosive contamination, causing everyone to be cautious.

This is also why Naisa, Melo, and others do everything grandiose to ensure Reiger’s safety. Otherwise, who knows when Reiger might fall victim to the schemes of the Abyssal followers?

It’s an utterly indefensible matter.

And to defend against Abyssal followers, or even the Abyss itself, the best method remains making Reiger strong.

As long as Reiger can become as powerful as the Saviors of past generations, then, with the power of the Holy Sword, the Abyss will have to fear him.

Melo did have a little personal interest in Reiger, but she was rational enough to understand how important Jelina and Hilune were to the Savior’s growth.

Therefore, Melo not only couldn’t drive away the two Nymph girls but also had to persuade Reiger to accept Jelina and Hilune.

"How about this."

Seeing Reiger unfazed, Melo’s eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly spoke.

"Let Jelina and Hilune temporarily follow you as attendants to serve your daily life, how does that sound?"

"Get along with them for a while, and if they still fail to satisfy you later, it’s not too late to send them away."

"In living in this world, Your Excellency also has many trivial matters needing assistance, you can’t always bother the Pope, can you?"

Hearing this, Reiger hesitated.

Naisa was the Pope of the Holy Sword Church, constantly staying by his side like an Attendant, tending to his needs, and Reiger had long felt this was inappropriate.

If there were truly matters of concern, it would be one thing, but to have this great Pope worry about all aspects of his daily life was indeed to misuse her talents.

Reiger, not yet particularly familiar with this world, found it truly inconvenient if no one was around to help him with minor tasks.

Thinking of this, Reiger lifted his eyes and faced the two Nymph girls.

Seeing this, the two girls, who had been pale from Reiger’s merciless rejection, quickly spoke out.

"We are willing to be your attendants!"

"Please give us a chance!"

The two were humbling themselves quite a bit.

If it were someone else, why would they need to be like this?

It’s always others desperately vying to obtain them, rather than them pleading to be brought in.

But the other party was the Master of the Holy Sword, the long-awaited Savior of the Source; to serve such a person, even just as an attendant, was seen as a blissful honor by many.

As Nymphs, Jelina and Hilune were well aware that they would eventually need to devote themselves to others, contributing to their race’s propagation. If such a person were the legendary Savior, the Master of the Holy Sword, wouldn’t that be much better than those nobly-born sons, full of desire and depravity?

It was based on this consideration that the two were willing to come forward, hoping to become companions to the legendary Savior, even if only as a concubine, bearing him a child would be an illustrious achievement.
