Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1520 - 1063: Not That Weak, Right? (2)

In the end, both problems were resolved.

Although the Abyss Demon Lord did not discover a method to completely control the Night Spirits, he did develop a way to guide them.

As long as a special "mark" was placed on a target, the Night Spirits would go berserk to attack it, just like sharks smelling blood or beasts spotting raw meat.

The first problem was thus roughly solved.

The solution to the second problem was to be executed by the Abyssal followers supported by this Abyss Demon Lord.

This Abyss Demon Lord taught a summoning ritual he developed to this group of Abyssal followers, who were responsible for guiding the Night Spirits towards the source, summoning them to the source bit by bit.

Upon hearing this, Reiger and Beluti understood.

"This group of Abyssal followers, it’s the Dark Relief Center, right?"

There was no other possibility.

"In other words, the Dark Relief Center wasn’t spontaneously formed by Abyssal followers, but was a mole supported by an Abyss Demon from the Abyss?"

Beluti was utterly astonished.

"I, I also heard it from my father."

Renani spoke timidly.

Reiger suddenly remembered the last attack he faced at Orus’s manor.

That time, it was because an Abyss Demon Lord controlled the Abyssal Touch from the Abyss, stretching it towards him, causing Marfa’s Sword to be entangled by those tentacles, almost being dragged into the Abyss.

Afterwards, Reiger awakened the true power of Marfa’s Sword, allowing it to sever the Abyssal Touch. That Abyss Demon Lord, infuriated by his own embarrassment, tried to forcefully subdue Reiger and Marfa’s Sword.

If Reiger hadn’t been a different person then, having leveled up after experiencing the world of magic, gained a new power system, and increased greatly in strength, far beyond what ordinary Saints could threaten, that Abyss Demon Lord might have succeeded.

"The Abyss Demon Lord who appeared then was probably the one supporting the Dark Relief Center from behind the scenes, right?"

Reiger thought to himself secretly.

If not, the Dark Relief Center wouldn’t have collaborated with the others to let them use the Abyssal Touch to seize the Holy Sword and assassinate Reiger.

"Looking at it this way, this Abyss Demon Lord isn’t an ordinary character?"

Being able to react quickly right after Reiger descended, the other party likely had numerous arrangements in the source and was well-informed.

Regardless whether it was Reiger, the Holy Sword, or even Nanierga, all these could practically hinder or even endanger the Abyss. The other party targeting these matters and devising plans indicates they are possibly a sort of vanguard, always active on the front lines invading the source.

Vaguely, Reiger even had a feeling.

Eleven thousand years ago, the operation against "that empire" might have also been orchestrated by this Abyss Demon Lord.

Unless, according to historical records, the Abyss Demon Lord, one of the top ten Abyss Kings and the one who severely injured the last young Savior, had already fallen, Reiger might even believe the other was one of the top ten Abyss Kings.

"No, the other is possibly one of the top ten Abyss Kings."

After all, there are ten Abyss Demon Lords titled as Kings, even if one falls, there are still nine others.

Only...

"The King among the Abyss Demon Lords shouldn’t be so weak, right?"

Recalling how he slashed off the opponent’s arm in one strike, Reiger hesitated again.

If that Abyss Demon Lord were here, they would definitely cry out unjustly, right?

It’s important to know that since leveling up to Lv.9, Reiger, even in his normal state, possesses combat strength beyond his current level, much stronger than ordinary Lv.9 Saints and Demon Lords.

In Orus’s manor, facing the giant arm extended by that Abyss Demon Lord, Reiger did unleash a full power sorcery-powered attack.

This attack wasn’t [Azure], nor [Scarlet], but an imaginary mass capable of slicing through space—[Void Style·Purple].

It can be said unreservedly, even in Reiger’s hands today, this move is regarded as a deadly strike, ranking among the top five strongest tactics of Reiger.

If it were an ordinary Demon Lord, facing this strike, not to mention having an arm cut off, even being cut into pieces on the spot would be nothing strange.

Perhaps Reiger instinctively realized the opponent’s extraordinariness, which is why he even chanted the incantation when casting [Purple].

As a result, putting the label "weak" on the other is truly making a Saint shed tears and a Demon Lord heartbroken.

Returning to the main point, under the plan of that Abyss Demon Lord, the Dark Relief Center spent about a hundred years slowly summoning almost all the Night Spirits accumulated over many years on the Black Land to this side of the source.

If nothing unexpected happens, after some time, under the suggestion of that Abyss Demon Lord, they would probably start experimenting with the feasibility of letting Night Spirit aggregations parasitize and erode Nanierga.

Actually, the Dark Relief Center was already making such preparations.

That’s why the Night Spirit aggregations would be slowly transferred next to Nanierga.

The major forces stationed at Nanierga didn’t discover this because the Night Spirit aggregations were being transferred underground.

Using the "mark" granted by the Demon Lord for guidance, the Night Spirits safely arrived next to Nanierga, waiting for the right moment.

Until Reiger appeared...

"Knowing my destination is also Nanierga, you planned to use that Night Spirit aggregation to ambush me?"

Reiger tossed the Mana Treasure Bead in his hand, speaking with a half-smile.

Now he understood what the mysterious power mentioned in the Mana Treasure Bead’s appraisal result was.

It was the "mark" serving as bait for the Night Spirits.

The Dark Relief Center placed that "mark" on the Mana Treasure Bead, then using Yarad’s hand, delivered it to him under the guise of a peace offering. This way, when he arrived at Nanierga, the underground Night Spirit aggregation would react.

They would go mad attacking him because of the "mark" within the Mana Treasure Bead.

With the power of the Night Spirit aggregation, plus the restricting barrier and dozens of strong Amber-ranked individuals, even if a Saint were present, under such circumstances, they would suffer bitter defeat.

Unfortunately, the Dark Relief Center underestimated Reiger, or rather, never truly grasped Reiger’s real strength, unaware that his actual combat power far surpasses average Saints.

So, they failed.

Even if the Dark Relief had prepared backup plans with arrangements involving Yarad, those were rendered futile as Reiger dealt with and subdued Yarad first.

It must be said, this was quite unlucky.

Reiger showed these Abyssal followers and even the Abyss Demon Lord what it meant that in the face of absolute power, plots and schemes are child’s play.

With his current strength, he could traverse the world and even enter the Abyss, not to mention being targeted by an Abyss Demon Lord and an Abyssal follower group.

The other party paid the necessary price for their actions, both times.

The last time, the Abyss Demon Lord lost an arm.

This time, the Dark Relief Center’s elite, including the director, as well as the Night Spirit aggregation critical to breaching Nanierga, all fell at Reiger’s hands.

Reiger remained unscathed and inflicted serious losses on them.

"I wonder if you regret it now?"

Reiger spoke this half-smilingly.

Renani immediately forced a very awkward smile.

Could she not regret it?

She regretted it to death!

If she had known that this young Savior before her was such a terrifying monster, she wouldn’t have participated in such a plan no matter what.

"Tell me, what should I do with you?"

Upon hearing this, Renani was filled with fear.

She had a strong feeling that even if she managed to keep her life, her fate wouldn’t be much better.
