Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1479 - 1038: Ungrateful Wretch (Part 2)

Yarad isn’t foolish; he knows exactly why his body is undergoing such changes.

With a twisted expression, he shouted at Reiger, as if his eyes were about to burst with rage.

"What have I done to you?" Reiger said with a faint smile, "Of course, I’ve given you the thing you’ve always dreamed of."

"Don’t you yearn to become stronger?"

"Don’t you want to become a saint?"

"To help you achieve this goal, I deliberately had my pet make some modifications to you, turning you into a freak who can infinitely become stronger by devouring magic stones and other materials containing magic power."

"How does it feel? Are you touched yet?"

Upon hearing this, Aleye, who was referred to as the pet, grumbled discontentedly, muttering something under her breath.

"Freak..."

Yarad, however, didn’t believe Reiger’s good intentions at all, his face becoming extremely ugly.

He didn’t know what kind of freak he had become, but he knew that he had ultimately transformed into something other than a human being, a monster.

The difference was that previously he was internally disrupted by Reiger, but now he had been transformed into another kind of life form. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The price was that his lifeline seemed to fall into the hands of the person he despised, envied, and resented the most.

As long as he wanted to stay alive, he’d have no choice but to obey Reiger.

"Your goal is those damned abyss worshippers, right?" Yarad said with flickering eyes, "I can tell you where they are, on the condition that you restore my body to its original state."

Upon hearing this, Reiger couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You really are something, still thinking of playing tricks even in this situation." Reiger said faintly, "I advise you to give up on such a pathetic effort, as I’ve already read your memory, so I know very well that you have no idea where those abyss worshippers are."

Yarad’s face instantly became even uglier.

"Sir," Melo chimed in at the right moment, "can’t we lure out the people from the Dark Relief Center through him?"

"Indeed," Naisa also said, "he might not know where those abyss worshippers are, but he should have a way to contact them."

"Unfortunately, that’s not feasible." Reiger shook his head and said, "From this person’s memory, I can see that the director of the Dark Relief Center is someone who is very skilled at playing tricks and schemes."

"Such people are usually very cautious, or perhaps very timid, and won’t reveal themselves unless they are absolutely sure."

"Think about last night’s attack; even with Yarad Keset acting as a mole in the dark, the director of the Dark Relief Center still manipulated thousands of infected individuals to test our side’s reaction, which already shows their caution."

"So, hastily letting Yarad Keset contact the Dark Relief Center not only fails to lure them out but could also cause them to grow suspicious."

Melo and Naisa thought about it and nodded in agreement with Reiger’s words.

As for Yarad, after hearing Reiger’s words, even though he was unwilling to admit it, he had no choice but to believe that his memory had indeed been read by the other party.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t know so much about the people from the Dark Relief Center.

This was undoubtedly very bad news.

Even worse was Reiger’s next words.

"We will leave according to the original schedule, continuing to head to Nanyelgar."

"After we leave, the people from the Dark Relief Center will definitely contact you again, approach you, and plan to use you for their next move against me."

"You just follow your original plan, become the decoy they throw out, and foolishly let yourself be led by the nose."

"I only have one request, which is that before you sleep every day, you must organize the events of the day into a report."

Reiger’s plan was simple, to continually obtain information on the Dark Relief Center through Yarad, looking for opportunities to take action against them.

As for relying on Yarad to deal with them?

Better not to think about it.

If Yarad could take on such a heavy responsibility, he wouldn’t be led by the nose and used by the people from the Dark Relief Center without even realizing it.

Therefore, Reiger’s expectation for Yarad was simple, just act as a spy.

As long as he could keep in contact with those people, then when they needed Yarad to make a move against him, he could seize the opportunity to root them out and deal with them.

Understanding Reiger’s plan, Yarad started to breathe heavily.

"...I don’t have the right to refuse, do I?"

Yarad finally realized his current predicament.

"How could it be?" Reiger raised his eyebrow and said, "I haven’t turned you into a puppet that will obey my every command. If you want to refuse, of course, you can refuse."

"It’s nothing more than continuing the previous choice."

"The choice between life and death."

As expected, this guy is not a savior, but a devil.

"...How should I transfer the intelligence to you?"

Full of resentment, anger, and even hatred for everything, Yarad realized he couldn’t resist any of it unless he truly wanted to die.

"No need to transfer it to me." Reiger said indifferently, "Just recite the information in your mind, and I will naturally know."

Within Yarad, Aleye had already implanted a multicolored magic stone.

Through that magic stone, Aleye’s voice could be transmitted to Yarad, and Yarad’s voice could also be heard by Aleye.

As long as Aleye heard it, she could then convey it to Reiger, and Reiger would naturally know as well.

This was more convenient, safe, and discreet than any method of transfer, with almost no possibility of being discovered.

Yarad could probably guess that the "heart" inside him was problematic, and a significant problem at that.

Perhaps, as long as that "heart" remained inside him, all his thoughts would be known to Reiger?

Thinking of this possibility, Yarad’s resentment and unwillingness turned into deep fear.

The feeling of being watched at all times, with even one’s innermost thoughts being known, was truly terrifying.

If he wasn’t sure that the "heart" inside him would immediately kill him if destroyed, Yarad would have recklessly wanted to dig it out.

"I just want to know one thing."

Somewhat resigned, Yarad gritted his teeth and said this.

"If I help you eliminate those abyss worshippers, will you restore me to my original state and set me free?"

Faced with this question, Reiger merely gazed at Yarad with a haunting look, making Yarad’s heart shudder.

Soon after, Yarad heard Reiger speak.

"You, who are willing to go to any lengths to break through and become a saint, even daring to touch the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, sacrificing even your supporting citizens and homeland, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms?"

Reiger ignored Yarad’s wide-eyed expression and sneered.

"Just be grateful that you get to live on."

"You ungrateful beast."

With that, Reiger seemed disgusted to even say another word to Yarad, and activated teleportation magic right in front of him.

"Buzz!"

A semicircular gate of darkness unfolded behind him, and Reiger turned around, walking towards the other side of the gate.

Melo and Naisa still looked at Yarad coldly, as if they were gazing at some filthy thing. Following Reiger’s departure, they also turned and walked into the [Portal].

Only Aleye remained, observing Yarad for a while, and then finally licked her lips and spoke.

"That thing called Mana Metal isn’t bad; its magic power is much stronger than most magic stones."

"If you have time, try to collect more of it; it should taste quite good."

"Do your best, my tentacle."

Leaving these words, Aleye turned and left, entering the [Portal] as well.

The gate of darkness then disappeared, leaving Yarad’s twisted face unseen by anyone else.

Ugly and pathetic.
