Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1367 - 970: Targeted by Each Other
Reiger truly did not expect that the last corner of the four powerful entities within the Xiantai Barrier would actually be a Curse Spirit.
It stood amidst a sea of cockroaches, its face pale, body pitch black, like a humanoid cockroach, or a black-robed figure wearing a cockroach mask. Except for the cockroach-like face, the rest was entirely black, as if draped in a black robe.
Its eyes were fierce and filled with malice, staring at Reiger with a bluntness that was completely unmasked.
Those were the eyes that looked at delicious food, not at a human being.
Such a gaze, coming from a Curse Spirit, did not seem too abrupt.
It’s just that...
"Heimu-shi is actually a Curse Spirit?"
Reiger’s frown deepened.
"Is it a trick played by Geto Suguru?"
Reiger could only think of this possibility.
The Curse Spirit in front of him, unless unexpected, should be one of the many Curse Spirits controlled by Geto Suguru, and it was clearly of the highest special grade.
"Boom!"
Descending from midair, Reiger casually threw a punch towards the ground below, destroying countless cockroaches on the ground along with the earth.
An impact wave swept up immediately, debris and rubble flew chaotically, sand spurted like a geyser, clearing a space in the sea of cockroaches.
Reiger landed steadily, looking like he was standing on a desolate island, surrounded by a black sea formed by restless cockroaches.
Heimu-shi stood opposite Reiger, still on the sea of cockroaches, looking over, its sinister insect eyes filled with greed.
This scene was also seen by Uluhiko, flying in the air, and Iwashiryu, who was doing his utmost to evade the cockroach swarm.
"He actually sought out Heimu-shi voluntarily?"
Uluhiko’s gaze towards Reiger changed.
"It’s surprising that guy doesn’t find it disgusting."
Iwashiryu had already moved out of the range of the cockroach sea, arrived at an empty ground, and watched leisurely while standing on the wires.
Apparently, neither Uluhiko nor Iwashiryu planned to cause trouble with Heimu-shi.
Perhaps, in their eyes, Reiger, who dared to dive into the sea of cockroaches to confront Heimu-shi, was more of a fool than a warrior?
Not to mention Uluhiko and Iwashiryu, even Heimu-shi seemed a bit confused.
"You... want to kill me?"
It seemed to have already sensed Reiger’s killing intent.
"Is it strange?" Reiger ignored the restless cockroach swarm approaching him, and said expressionlessly: "Isn’t it only natural for a sorcerer to kill a Curse Spirit?"
That’s the surface explanation.
In reality, Reiger’s targeting of Heimu-shi was not for such a simple reason.
Since he suspected that the opponent was likely a Curse Spirit released by Geto Suguru within the Xiantai Barrier, Reiger undoubtedly wanted to try and see if he could extract this Curse Spirit’s memory to find Geto Suguru.
If he could, he wouldn’t have to fight for his life in Destruction Revisit.
Heimu-shi, unaware of this, slightly rolled its eyes.
"You... are delicious."
In a half-awkward language, the cockroach Curse Spirit expressed its greed and desire.
"I... like... the taste of iron..."
Saying such words, Heimu-shi extended an arm as rough as a human brawny man’s.
That arm tightly clutched a knife.
It was a knife that resembled a cleaver, with a handle full of bone texture, a blade seemingly composed of flesh and blood, and a horrific blade edge adorned with many eyes.
Its name was Rotknife, a demonic blade capable of intertwining life and death.
The ugly and eerie deadly blade in the hands of the equally ugly and eerie Curse Spirit created a horrifying terror.
"Eat... you..."
Heimu-shi’s face then bore a malicious grin.
"Eat you... eat you... eat you eat you eat you...!"
As soon as the words fell, the nearby cockroach army collectively sprang to action, turning into waves of black tides, encircling from all directions, swallowing towards Reiger.
However, Reiger had long prepared for the cockroach army’s collective attack, and as the cockroach army transformed into black tides surging towards him, he stomped and shattered the ground beneath his feet.
A large amount of dust rose, and Reiger’s figure, along with the erupting airwaves, shot toward Heimu-shi with astonishing speed before the cockroach swarm could cover him.
It seemed Heimu-shi had not expected Reiger to dare to strike offensively in such a situation. Its reaction was a beat slow, but ultimately, it managed to swing its deadly blade just as Reiger’s fist came punching.
"Clang!"
In a resounding clash like striking a bell, Renhua and the Rotknife collided ferociously.
Suddenly, the enormous power erupting from Reiger’s fist unsurprisingly overwhelmed Heimu-shi’s strength, sending it flying.
"...!"
Heimu-shi’s eyes widened instantly and swiftly adjusted its position after reacting.
Yet before it could fully regain posture, Reiger’s figure had already flashed over, appearing from above the rebounding Heimu-shi with a punch from above.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, the earth struck by the powerful blow jolted violently and shattered on the spot, like being hit by a small meteorite, spraying out a torrent of sand.
Facing this formidable strike, at the critical moment, Heimu-shi maneuvered the nearest cockroach swarm, propelling itself from behind, billowing like a black wave, carrying itself out of Reiger’s attack range.
"The taste of... iron...!"
Successfully dodging the strike, Heimu-shi rode the black wave of cockroaches, surging towards Reiger like breaking through the waves.
