Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

To avoid ending up like Bikamo, being pursued by Reiger or the Demonic Void, he didn’t hesitate to burn everything below his eyes, offering the remaining negligible flesh as a blood sacrifice, leaving only enough of his brain to barely survive, using the gained power to summon abyssal creatures to block Reiger and the Demonic Void.

It doesn’t need to be long, just a brief moment.

At the speed of an Abyss Demon Lord, having abandoned most of the body, only the brain remains; this time is enough for him to pass through the Abyss Gate, returning to the other side of the abyss.

He doesn’t believe that the opponent dares to follow him into the abyss.

If that truly happens, he could accept his death as it is.

After all, he’s using his life to lure the target into the abyss.

Once in the abyss, with the opponent’s power, attempting to return easily would be impossible.

By then, many in the abyss would be after the opponent’s life, and the Kings could attack without restraint.

At that time, even the Holy Sword would be lost in the abyss, becoming a trophy of the abyss.

And having lost two Holy Swords in a row, with only one remaining to support the source’s power, it surely wouldn’t be able to maintain the previous level of sealing intensity, allowing more and stronger abyssal creatures to descend upon the source.

So, as long as he escapes into that Abyss Gate, into that space rift...

"Everything will be over!"

Yes.

"It will be over."

As this sentence entered the barely remaining ear of Panisa, the world froze.

[Un-chanting Magic·Time Stop]!

Reiger, invoking time magic for the second time, ignored the abyssal creatures summoned by Panisa, walking on air, and arrived before the space rift.

Here, just a few meters apart, is where Panisa’s remaining brain is.

A few meters of distance, for an existence like Panisa, is extremely short.

If his body was intact, this distance wouldn’t even require a step, just a small shuffle forward with his foot would erase it to zero.

However, at this moment, this brief distance for Panisa is like an insurmountable chasm, forever unreachable.

"Snap..."

With a slight sound, Reiger reached out his hand and pressed Panisa’s brain.

"Bang!"

Almost simultaneously, the stopped time resumed its normal state, the world seeming to be released from its frozen condition, the icy heaven and earth shattered and began to flow again.

"[Transition to Nonaction]."

Not giving Panisa a chance to react, nor allowing him time to escape into the abyss, Reiger coldly invoked a lethal spell capable of manipulating souls.

In an instant, Panisa’s remaining brain swelled like a tumor, bulging and twisting hideously.

"...!"

The transformed Panisa, now a large tumor, could only widen his eyes, watching the space rift so close yet forever unreachable, eyes tearing.

"Do you really want to go back?"

Reiger noticed the despair in Panisa’s eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Then let me send you back."

"No need to thank me."

"I’m just that kind-hearted."

Saying this, Reiger delivered a powerful kick, sending the tumor flying.

"Boom!"

With this airborne shot, the large tumor flew like a cannonball into the space rift, through the Abyss Gate, back to the abyss he longed for.

Unfortunately, in the state of having his soul scrambled by Reiger, Panisa probably will never return to his original form.

Even if there are bizarre powers in the abyss capable of restoring Panisa’s scrambled soul to normal, Panisa wouldn’t have the chance.

Because, given his current soul structure, it won’t take half an hour for his soul to completely collapse and perish.

"Reflect well on the last half hour of your life."

With this as the conclusion, the fierce battle finally reached its end.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Void stood on Bikamo’s headless, armless corpse, roaring as it slowly turned into a shadow, dispersing like black water.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

Melo, Naisa, and Beluti flew toward Reiger, one using magic to fly, the other two riding on jade hounds summoned by Reiger, each with a joyful expression.

Seeing this, the emotionless smile on Reiger’s face gradually gained a hint of warmth as he moved to meet the approaching girls.

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

From the spatial rift just a few meters away from Reiger, an avalanche of violent abyssal aura surged out.

"————!"

The girls’ faces changed dramatically.

Reiger’s smile also faded as he turned around to look at the spatial rift once more. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

And with one look, Reiger’s expression changed.

Because, deep in the rift from which the violent abyssal aura was pouring out, a massive swarm of shadows was surging out together.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

"Wail!"

Countless abyssal creatures let out terrifying roars, rushing madly from the other side of the rift in droves!

With just one glance, Reiger made a judgment based on the aura emanating from these abyssal creatures.

"These abyssal creatures... each one is stronger than those encountered on this Black Land!"

Other than Zarayas, called the barbaric god by Panisa, none of the abyssal creatures Reiger had encountered thus far were as strong as those now surging from the other end of the spatial rift!

Even the abyssal creature within the Great Saint Palace, the one that killed Melo, Naisa, and Beluti once, could not match the aura of any single creature within this dense army of abyssal beings!

This massive group of abyssal creatures is now arduously coming through this Abyss Gate.

Reiger even saw among them some figures whose aura was noticeably different from that of typical abyssal creatures.

The aura of these figures was quite similar to Panisa and Bikamo, like demonic gods, fiery and perilous.

Clearly, these figures are all abyssal demon lords, just like Panisa and Bikamo!

They struggled against the power of the dimensional rift, moving slowly yet resolutely as if swimming against ocean waves.

Even with the Abyss Gate as a passage, their power alone couldn’t easily cross over, so each was giving their all, desperately trying to descend here.

Understanding this, only one thought remained in Reiger’s mind.

And that is... to send them back!

"Buzz!"

Marfa’s Sword, tied to Reiger’s waist, finally ceased its silence. It trembled fiercely, conveying a craving to Reiger.

A craving for release!

An urge to slay!

Facing such a legion from the abyss, Marfa could no longer bear it!

It... wanted to come out of its sheath!

"Clang!"

And so, Reiger, aligning with Marfa’s will, finally drew it out.

A dazzling radiance erupted from the holy sword, making Reiger appear like a heavenly god bathed in its glow.

The savior, holding the holy sword, stood alone between heaven and earth, facing the evil creatures surging from the abyss head-on!

That scene left Melo, riding the black jade dog, and Naisa, flying on her own, both momentarily dazed.

Beluti was the same.

The vision unfolding before her eyes had completely overlapped with the future she once foresaw.

In that case...

"I must also do what I am destined to do!"

A glint of determination emerged in Beluti’s previously dazed eyes.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, flames began to blaze on Beluti’s body.

It was the fire of life, different from Panisa’s.

From Panisa, blood-red flames erupted.

But from Beluti, pure white flames, like a radiant glow, burst forth.

Yet the essence of both flames was the same.

Both were powers gained by sacrificing life and body.

Saintess Beluti Lawon, began the blood sacrifice.
