Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1459 - 1026: Let’s See If You Can Kill Me

"What should we do, Master!"

"If this continues... the Holy Sword will be in danger!"

In the top-floor room of the mansion, Jelina and Hilune, who could clearly see the situation outside through the window, were also very anxious.

Though they were isolated Nymphs, they had heard of the Abyssal Touch.

The Abyssal Touch, like the Abyssal Aura, is one of the peculiar phenomena unique to the Abyss.

But unlike the atmospheric Abyssal Aura, the Abyssal Touch only appears in the deepest parts of the Abyss.

Just like a volcano in the current world that can erupt into a catastrophe, the Abyssal Touch is also a catastrophic phenomenon.

However, in the Abyss, some extremely powerful beings can forcibly control the Abyssal Touch with their own power for a short time to interfere with the Source.

If the Holy Sword possesses the characteristic to sever worlds, then the Abyssal Touch possesses the characteristic to penetrate them.

Though it resides in the deepest parts of the Abyss, at the core of a Life Forbidden Zone that nearly no one can reach, it can extend to any place it desires, including the Source which is opposite and contrary to the Abyss.

In the past, superpowerful beings in the Abyss often used the Abyssal Touch to interfere with the Source, dragging dangerous entities from the Source into the Abyss to become their playthings.

If the Abyssal Touch didn’t need to target its desired goals via prior positioning, it might have long been used against the Holy Sword, forcibly dragging it into the Abyss.

This time, the opponent was clearly prepared, preemptively deploying in Aurus, knowing that Reiger would rest here.

The Dark Relief Center undoubtedly came for this purpose; perhaps under the orders of the Abyss, they deliberately ambushed here, setting up positioning, allowing the Abyssal Touch to reach here and contact Marfa’s Sword.

Now, Marfa’s Sword is already constrained by the Abyssal Touch, about to be dragged into the Abyss, making it impossible for Jelina and Hilune not to feel anxious.

On the contrary, Reiger, after deeply observing the outside situation, became calm.

He did not concern himself with the outside circumstances, turned around, and looked toward the corner of the room.

"Since you’re here, aren’t you going to come out and show yourself?"

When these calm words came from Reiger’s mouth, the anxious faces of Jelina and Hilune first froze, and then, as if realizing something, turned even paler.

The next moment—

"You could actually discover me?"

With a surprised voice rising, the atmosphere in the room changed.

Invisible Magic Power enveloped the entire room, as if separating this room from the manor and even the mansion, rendering the surroundings eerily silent.

All the roaring, howling, crashing, and clashing noises outside gradually faded away until they completely vanished.

The view outside the window also changed, turning completely dark, as if it was shrouded by something, making the outside invisible.

"Master!"

Realizing the current situation instantly, Jelina and Hilune, faces ashen, seemed to want to rush to Reiger, possibly intending for him to escape.

But Reiger raised his hand, stopping them.

In front of Reiger, from the corner, someone slowly walked out.

This was someone whose true appearance was completely obscured, with black mist swirling around him, resembling a plague god exuding pestilence, making people want to keep their distance.

Until his appearance, no one had detected his presence.

No, even now, watching him appear visibly, Jelina and Hilune had a dazed feeling, an unconscious impulse to ignore him.

If not for the current occasion and situation, the Nymph maidens were certain they would ignore this person’s existence even passing by him.

Even if this person’s appearance was so striking and distinctive.

"How did you discover me?"

The person curiously asked.

"It’s not difficult." Reiger responded flatly, saying: "You probably used some sort of mental magic or ability to influence surrounding life forms, causing others to subconsciously ignore your presence."

"Unfortunately, such mental interference is ineffective against me."

Although Reiger wasn’t wearing the Holy Court, he himself was immune to mental interference.

Therefore, what the other party did could not fool Reiger at all.

"So, you have methods to counter mental abilities." The other party smiled as if understanding suddenly, saying: "They must be very formidable methods, right? Even I couldn’t influence you; it must be remarkable."

"It seems you’re very confident in your power." Reiger glanced at the other party, smiling faintly: "If I were to say it’s no big deal, would that wound your pride?"

"...I do feel quite wounded in dignity seeing you remain calm us now." The other party tilted his head, eerily saying: "Should I say, as expected of the savior from another world? Seeing my appearance without any fear."

"Is it because of those two Nymphs who might not even reach the Crystal rank protecting you?"

"Or do you not know at all what it means to be standing before me—Kermo Anoson?"

As soon as the words came out, before Reiger could react, the two Nymph maidens were already shocked.

"You, you are Kermo Anoson?"

"How could it be..."

Jelina and Hilune immediately displayed expressions of despair.

"Is he very famous?"

Now it was Reiger’s turn to show curiosity.

"...He is a villain who has ascended the wanted lists of all major races, having assassinated key figures within them multiple times. Among his targets were bishop-level figures like Bishop Luan and Bishop Andre, and nobles of high status like the Imperial Knight Captain. Known as the assassin who, except for saints, guarantees death for anyone he marks."

Jelina spoke these words with trembling lips, while Hilune beside her was also on the verge of tears, as if awakened by a deep-seated fear.

"Is that so?" Reiger finally showed some interest, looking at the other party, and said, "So, you were hired by those people outside to assassinate me?"

"That’s right." Kermo replied with a cold smile: "Those abyss followers carry the aura of the abyss on them to some extent, making it impossible to bypass the Holy Court and the Empire’s layers of focused defenses to get close to you, the Savior."

"Therefore, they hired me, an assassin with no relation to the abyss, and gave me the opportunity to attack you alone."

The target of the Dark Relief Center was clearly not only the Holy Sword but also Reiger, the Master of this Holy Sword.

First, they set up a plot in Orus to locate the Abyssal Touch, then lured all of Reiger’s guards away by putting the Holy Sword Marfa in peril, and subsequently provided certain means for Kermo, enabling this infamous assassin to approach Reiger and assassinate him alone.

This scheme is indeed intricate and well-orchestrated.

It’s likely that the means that seemed to separate this room from the world were provided to Kermo by the Dark Relief Center?

These tricks might also have originated from the abyss, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so bizarre.

"You, you are clearly not an abyss follower, so why are you helping the abyss?"

Hilune mustered the courage to question Kermo, only to be met with Kermo’s cold gaze.

"I have no interest in doing things for the abyss." Kermo said coldly: "Whether the world is good or bad, it’s none of my business, Kermo Anoson."

"Whether the people hiring me are good or bad, that’s equally irrelevant."

"I just want to kill, the harder the target, the higher their status, the more motivated I feel. Sooner or later, I intend to kill even those high-and-mighty saints."

At this point, Kermo pulled out a black dagger from his bosom, staring at Reiger as if eyeing a prime prey, his tone uncontainably excited.

"The Master of the Holy Sword, the Savior who the Source World has waited over millennia for, isn’t killing such a person the most fulfilling thing?"

So, when the people of the Dark Relief Center approached Kermo, he accepted without hesitation.

"Madman!"

Jelina and Hilune clearly didn’t expect to get such an answer, and their gaze towards Kermo grew increasingly fearful.

Meanwhile, a resolute look gradually emerged in their eyes.

At least... to let His Highness escape!

This thought was evident in both of the girls’ eyes.

They could die, but Reiger couldn’t be allowed to die.

Once Reiger is dead, the Source World would lose its hope of resisting the abyss again.

At that moment, Jelina and Hilune wanted to step forward.

But they quickly realized they couldn’t move at all.

Because of Reiger’s words.

"[Stand Still]."

These words, spoken so lightly, might not have been heard by Kermo, but they clearly reached the ears of the two Nymph girls.

Then, to their astonishment and horror, the girls realized they couldn’t move.

"What?"

Although Kermo didn’t hear the words, he sharply sensed a strange power emerging in the room.

Before he could trace the source of this power, he heard Reiger say this.

"So, you’re telling me that you’re intentionally seeking excitement, which is why you accepted the Dark Relief Center’s job to assassinate me, right?"

Reiger, instead of being angry, smiled, causing Kermo to suddenly become vigilant.

Until Reiger said the next sentence.

"I can understand that feeling of seeking thrill."

"In that case..."

"I’ll give you a chance."

Reiger beckoned with his finger at Kermo.

"I’ll stand right here, unmoving, and see if you can kill me."

"Come."

"Give it a try."

Hearing this, both Jelina and Hilune were shaken, and Kermo’s expression froze.

Then, he was enraged.

"Standing still like a target for me to kill?"

Kermo shouted in fury, as if insulted.

"I’ll see if you really have the guts for this!"

With those words, Kermo charged forward.
