Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1788 - 1201: Heavenly Hunt

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Accompanied by vague afterimages, groups of black-cloaked magic puppets silently slipped into the top floor of the Jewel Tower as usual.

They flooded in like assassins breaking through windows from all directions, swiftly filling the entire hall.

They darted back and forth, weaving the afterimages into a web of black.

Holding claw-like blades, they were like death gods drifting in the night, thrusting their chilling blades toward Reiger, cutting across him again and again.

The magic puppets were numerous and incredibly fast; even if each struck only once, it was enough for Reiger to endure hundreds of cuts in a single second.

Faced with this terrifying barrage that could only be described as dreadful, Reiger stood there motionless, seemingly stunned, taking cut after cut.

"Good!"

"The Giant" showed a look of joy.

"No, something’s wrong!" Lani keenly sensed something was amiss and shouted, "He’s not hurt!"

It was only then that "The Giant" realized, despite being subjected to an overwhelming onslaught, not a drop of blood was shed from Reiger’s body.

Countless blades struck him, yet they seemed to miss altogether, gliding by him without even slicing his skin, let alone penetrating his body.

"How, how is this possible...?!"

"The Giant" exclaimed in disbelief, unable to accept this reality.

Lani gritted her teeth, raised the dagger in her hand, and was about to strike Reiger.

Then—

"Domain Expansion..."

As the legion of magic puppets relentlessly attacked, a calm and deep voice slowly arose.

"————"

At this moment, even Lani and "The Giant" felt a chill throughout their bodies.

A strange fear welled up from within, like the shadow of death, enveloping their minds.

The boy, amid this massive onslaught, ignored the attacks from all sides, lowered his head, and formed the Tan Tu Seal with his hands.

"[Guardian of the Demonic Realm]."

When the brilliant and dazzling votive niche rose behind Reiger, illuminating the suddenly clear sky and the mirror-like surface of the domain, the bodies of the standing or fallen "Fire Princess" and "The Giant" began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although the scene before them was beautiful and soothing, a sense of dread surged in their hearts, telling them that beneath this beautiful world lay an unimaginable killing intent.

"Monster..."

Lani involuntarily muttered the evaluation.

"No, noooo...!"

"The Giant" crawled away clumsily, tears and snot streaming as he tried to escape.

As for those magic puppets, they had long become the first sacrifices in everyone’s eyes.

"Boom!!!"

An invisible storm erupted, as if the world itself began to roar.

The last scene imprinted in everyone’s eyes was the endless sword-storm...

...

"Clap—clap—"

In the desolate wilderness, the sound of rolling stones echoed clearly in the center.

Reiger walked slowly through the ruins, as calmly as a demon king born from calamity.

He was surrounded by rubble formed from jewel shards and debris.

The once magnificent Jewel Tower had long since collapsed and vanished without a trace.

As for the countless magic puppets, none remained; they all disappeared.

This was not an exaggeration; they truly vanished, leaving not a single shred of flesh behind.

It was only natural.

In that endless sword-storm, no living being could have survived.

Even the magic puppets, oblivious to pain and far more resilient to harm than humans, were reduced to invisible particles and blown away like dust in that storm of slashes.

If not for the Jewel Tower being a non-ordinary object, constructed from highly valuable magic crystals and various magical materials capable of withstanding infinite slashes, there wouldn’t even be ruins left here.

Regrettably, the old magician who built the Jewel Tower was also ground to dust in the storm of slashes, leaving nothing behind and unable to witness this scene.

If anyone survived the previous terrifying storm, it was only because they were deliberately spared by the master of this world.

"..."

Lani stood blankly in the center of the ruins, her dagger long slipped from her hand, losing all resistance.

Walking through the ruins, Reiger passed by Lani without stopping.

But as Reiger walked away with his back to Lani, a semicircular door of darkness quietly unfolded beneath her feet, swallowing her whole.

"Although Yuri said nothing, since she chose to entrust the matter to me, I can’t let her down."

Reiger’s voice was carried on the wind.

"But I’m not good with words."

"So, I’ll leave it to you two to have a good talk yourselves."

"Don’t thank me."

Without the slightest sense that he had left the lady with a huge problem, Reiger walked out of the ruins and into the wilderness.
