Chapter 1451: Chapter 1021: Using Her as a Meat Shield? What a Waste_2

Reiger sighed, speaking to the corpse on the ground.

"There’s no need for sorrow, Your Excellency," Melo quickly said. "Looking at this person’s condition, they have clearly been polluted and corrupted by the Abyssal Aura for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone mad immediately upon exposure to the light of the Saint Sword."

"Such heavy pollution, even if you and Marfa, Your Excellency, were kind enough to save them, it would take a lot of time."

"During that period, the person behind the scenes who used the Abyssal Aura to corrupt them wouldn’t sit idly by. They would definitely activate the Abyssal Aura within them, driving them into madness and making them harm you at all costs."

Their earlier behavior has already proven this point.

Strictly speaking, this person is actually innocent.

Judging by their previous behavior, Reiger is ninety percent sure that they didn’t even know they had become infected, corrupted, and polluted by the Abyssal Aura.

But because they became infected and polluted by the Abyssal Aura, they were mercilessly slain.

There was no choice. Compared to Reiger, the holder of the Saint Sword, a silver-ranked knight is undoubtedly insignificant.

Thus, to avoid any danger to Reiger, Melo didn’t think twice before decisively killing this innocent infected person.

The others probably thought the same, including Bishop Luan and Bishop Andre, as well as Naisa, the Female Pope of the Holy Sword Church. Faced with this situation, they would surely sacrifice the other to ensure the safety of Reiger, the holder of the Saint Sword.

While Reiger felt some sympathy, he couldn’t hold Melo and the others accountable for it.

After all, they were also trying to protect him.

After pondering, Reiger decided not to use Resurrection Magic on the knight to bring them back to life.

The reason was simple: the impact was too great.

Even though this world’s magic-guided technology and magic system are highly advanced, Reiger was still certain that there was no miraculous magic capable of reviving the dead here.

If there were, the Reinnaier clan, who had lived in this Source World for a long time, would surely have brought knowledge of this magic to the Akasha continent.

If the Ancient Magic Civilization Period on the Akasha continent had knowledge of resurrection magic, the Reinnaier clan definitely wouldn’t have fallen to having only Liz as a descendant.

If resurrection magic existed in ancient magic civilization, then, even after eleven thousand years, modern magic civilization should have retained some records related to it, even if they couldn’t revive that knowledge.

Yet Reiger, who had spent quite a while on the Akasha continent, had never heard of any magic involving the resurrection of the dead.

Even Yuri, a strategic-level magician, showed signs of her worldview being overturned upon learning that Reiger could use resurrection magic, indicating that in her consciousness, reviving the dead was beyond the capabilities of mere magic.

It was a divine miracle.

It was divine power.

The feeling Reiger gleaned from Yuri’s reaction was just like that.

In summary, the presence of resurrection magic, even in the Source World, was likely as powerful as a divine miracle.

Being new to this place where powerful beings are everywhere, Reiger wasn’t willing to expose too many things, even if he wasn’t afraid, he didn’t want unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, even knowing the knight was innocent, Reiger chose not to resurrect them.

He wasn’t a standard good person, nor was he a standard villain.

In situations where it wouldn’t greatly affect him, Reiger didn’t mind showing some compassion, like when he aided refugees in the Mepros territory or faced the Nasalik Underground Tomb’s aberrations for the innocent citizens in the Re·Yestijie Kingdom’s capital in the Undead World.

But when he deemed it unnecessary and it would affect him, Reiger wouldn’t let his compassion overflow and would choose to ignore it.

Had it not been this way, after all the events ended in the jujutsu world, Reiger wouldn’t have remained indifferent to some people’s deaths after resurrecting Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, Kugisaki Nobara, Nanami Kento, and others.

Like Yaga Masamichi.

The principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High was deeply connected with Gojo Satoru, and was like a parent to Panda.

But Reiger had little relationship with him and was even wary of him, undergoing tests when entering Jujutsu High, with threats from him to keep an eye on Reiger to prevent reckless behavior.

Under such circumstances, Reiger had no reason to purposely resurrect him, so the topic was never brought up.

Interestingly, although Gojo Satoru and others knew Reiger had the power to resurrect others, when they saw no intention from Reiger to resurrect Yaga, they surprisingly said nothing, opting to selectively ignore the matter.

Perhaps they thought such power couldn’t be used randomly, and seeing Reiger not mentioning it, assumed he couldn’t afford the cost, thus choosing not to bring it up?

Thus, Yaga Masamichi, the high school principal akin to a mafia leader, was unceremoniously abandoned by Reiger.

The same was true now, Reiger eventually chose to forsake this knight.

"Let him return to dust," Reiger said, glancing at them a few more times.

"We will," Melo nodded earnestly.

Seeing that the people around were already starting to work, with the two bishops and a group of priests chanting purification magic on the deck and holding purification rituals, while knights stood tall and tense at their posts, Reiger, rather uninterested, spoke up.

"Jelina, Hilune, let’s go back to the room."

Having gone through such an incident, Reiger had lost the mood to spend time on the deck.

"Yes, Master."

The two nymph girls who had been quietly following beside him responded sharply.

"Can I join you in returning to the room, Your Excellency?"

Naisa held her staff a little tight and quickly expressed her intent.

"Having just experienced an attack by an infected person, it is still unclear if there will be other malicious targeting of Your Excellency. I must stay nearby to guard you."

That was Naisa’s stated reason.

Whether she had other thoughts in mind was known only to her.

At least she couldn’t let Reiger be alone in the room with those two beautiful, tempting nymphs.

What? What happens at night?

Just don’t sleep!

The Excellency’s room is spacious enough; one can always find a spot to pray.

Naisa also carried magical items that enhanced energy and not sleeping for a night wouldn’t affect her at all.

Thinking this, Naisa subtly turned towards Melo.

This was also to prevent the princess from sending any more peculiar things to Your Excellency!

It would lead Your Excellency astray!

"Then I’ll follow Your Excellency as well."

Melo, seemingly unaware of Naisa’s intense gaze, as if she wanted to devour her, spoke naturally.

"If anything happens again, I can at least be a shield for Your Excellency."

Upon hearing this, Reiger discreetly glanced at Melo.

Taking in her curvy and shapely figure, Reiger pursed his lips.

With a physique like that, using it as a shield seemed quite wasteful.

Of course, he wouldn’t voice those thoughts.

With that, the group left the deck and returned to the room.

After the events, not only was a purification ritual held on the deck, but everyone on the entire floating magic-guided battleship, besides those who were present and bathed in the light of the Saint Sword, was subjected to rigorous monitoring and inspection to determine if there were other infected or malicious individuals among them.

The floating magic-guided battleship, under such circumstances, sailed out of the borders of Careadohart and landed in the border city of another country by nightfall.
