Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1568 - 1089: "Death

Mistegor, Great Saint Palace.

At this moment, Reiger still didn’t know that plans had already been made against him in the abyss.

Once the veil fell and there was no longer a need to worry about the abyss creatures barging in to cause trouble, Reiger led Melo, Naisa, and Beluti deeper into the Great Saint Palace, heading towards its depths.

Yet, the further they walked, the more everyone felt there might be some great terror lurking here.

Because here, not even a single abyss creature was present, it seemed entirely empty—a regular wasteland, a forsaken and dilapidated palace, nothing like the residence of a savior once targeted by the abyss.

"There must be something wrong here."

This was undoubtedly the shared thought among the four, causing even Reiger to furrow his brows, his entire perception switched to a Transparent World mode, eyes shimmering with translucent light, no longer appearing indifferent.

As for Melo, Naisa, and Beluti, they were fully alert, some covertly gripping their weapons, others ready to use precious cards carried on them at any moment, and yet others were already psychologically prepared for danger, making the atmosphere particularly tense.

Worth noting is that the Great Saint Palace isn’t a multi-story structure, it’s a single-layered building, albeit a vast and towering one with multiple courtyards interconnected, appearing as a cluster of buildings at first glance.

Naisa had mentioned to everyone.

"I once stumbled upon records about the Great Saint Palace in ancient texts. If I’m not mistaken, it is composed of the front hall, middle hall, back hall, and four side halls."

"Among them, the front hall and middle hall were not places for living, while visiting guests and servants lived in the side halls."

"The Holy Sword Holders throughout the ages mainly resided in the back hall, which also served as the primary living area for the savior and their family."

Knowing this, Reiger had a goal.

"Let’s head straight to the back hall."

That’s the most likely place to find anything valuable.

Currently, Reiger and the others were still at the foremost section of the Great Saint Palace, the front hall.

Just the front hall was already so vast, even after passing several courtyards, they had not yet left the front hall to enter the middle hall.

Reiger couldn’t even imagine, if they really needed to search the entire Great Saint Palace, how troublesome it would be.

Thus, he sincerely hoped what he sought would be found in the back hall.

If there was nothing in the back hall, they might really have to scour the entire Great Saint Palace.

With such a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, Reiger and his party finally walked through the front hall and entered the open-air square that connected to the middle hall and the four side halls.

From here, Reiger and his group could clearly see the veil that enveloped the entire Great Saint Palace, as if witnessing a black sky curtain.

However, to their surprise, despite the veil covering them, and the entirety of Mistegor being located on ground corrupted and eroded by Abyss Power, it was still raining here.

"Plop plop..."

Amidst faint rain sounds, a moderate rain was falling on the expansive square, dampening the ruined square.

"Rain?"

"How could it be raining here?"

"Where does the rain come from?"

The girls were somewhat perplexed.

Not only hadn’t they seen rain clouds, but even before entering the square, they hadn’t seen any rain. It was only after walking into the square that they suddenly discovered this rain, as if it hadn’t existed moments ago yet suddenly started pouring, leaving the girls unprepared and directly soaked.

Reiger’s furrowed brows deepened.

He was always in Transparent World mode, yet before walking out of the front hall, he hadn’t detected the rain’s presence either.

Of course, unlike the girls, he wasn’t soaked by the raindrops, as an automatic, continuously unfolding Inviolable Barrier repelled the rain, making it seem like a transparent protective shield surrounded him, splitting the rain droplets automatically.

"Something’s wrong."

Suddenly, Reiger’s expression changed.

The automatic unfolding Inviolable Barrier searches and evaluates threat levels autonomously; without Reiger intentionally activating it, harmless rain wouldn’t be deflected.

And before entering the square, leaving the front hall, he hadn’t detected this rain, so how could he intentionally activate Inviolable Barrier to deflect the rain?

If he didn’t deliberately activate it, yet the rain is still repelled, it only proves one thing.

These raindrops are not harmless at all. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Ahhhhhhhh...!"

At the same time Reiger realized this, the girls suddenly let out pain-stricken screams.

Reiger swiftly turned his head toward the girls, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Sizzle...!"

It sounded like something was sizzling as if burned.

The lightly raining droplets, moments ago harmless on the young girls, suddenly saw them collapse either kneeling or sprawled, crying out in agony and distress.

Their clothes were seemingly corroded and instantly melted away.

Their skin appeared splashed with acid, continuously charring and peeling.

Their flesh, hair, weapons, and gear, along with various items rapidly dissolved, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The once beautiful and radiant girls transformed into tattered, decomposing corpses in less than two seconds!
