Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

As the patterns on their bodies gradually lit up, even the figure that suddenly appeared in the center of the military camp couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"Almost forgot, you all can devour magic power. Although it doesn’t affect me personally, it seems you can also indiscriminately devour untouchable cursed energy."

Upon closer inspection, the space around that figure began to ripple slightly.

Waves of energy similar to magic power, yet vastly different, were being devoured by these black dogs one by one, allowing their open fangs to touch the space that used to be controlled, leaving anyone unable to touch the figure’s owner.

What a pity...

"[Do not move.]"

The wave of cursed energy that appeared in the next second caused the black dogs pouncing towards Reiger to halt collectively, suspended in place.

But, it wasn’t just these black dogs here; there were also fairies of the Tusk Clan.

"Who are you?"

"A human?"

"Are you from the Round Table army?"

"Seize him!"

The fairies of the Tusk Clan, armed and swift, surrounded Reiger. Seeing Reiger control the black dog pack, their expressions changed, and they immediately launched an attack on him.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

Immediately, the fairy warriors of the Tusk Clan exploded with formidable physical strength, closing in on Reiger at astonishing speed, launching attacks from the front, back, left, and right, with others leaping high to slash their weapons down towards Reiger, not appearing to capture him at all, but rather to kill him on the spot.

To this, Reiger didn’t even raise his head.

"[Huh]."

Without lifting a hand or gathering the red glow of cursed energy as before, a storm-like repulsive force suddenly burst forth from Reiger’s body, crashing like an explosion into the approaching fairies of the Tusk Clan.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a resounding boom that shook the air, the fairies uttered screams in unison, blasted away by the powerful repulsion.

This storm of repulsive force rampaged through the center of the camp, sweeping all the encirclers away in one breath, blasting fairies and black dogs alike and clearing the area around Reiger.

"What?"

The other fairies that were continuously rushing over couldn’t help but pause and showed expressions of shock at the scene.

"Howl!"

"Howl!"

Even those black dogs that weren’t pouncing at Reiger hesitated for a moment in fear, their forward momentum slightly paused, and even involuntarily backed up two steps.

Having cleared all the fairies and black dogs around, Reiger finally raised his head, glancing at the distant fairies and black dogs, then calmly looked towards the main camp.

"Not coming out yet, Gawain!"

Reiger called out calmly.

"If you don’t show up, I’ll take your pawns and pets and present them to Londinium as a gift, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Tusk Clan fairies immediately showed expressions of anger.

"Hmph!"

Before they could act in anger, a cold snort echoed.

"Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang—"

This was the heavy sound of metal footsteps hitting the ground.

In the direction of the main camp, a tall fairy walked towards them, stepping with iron boots, making the metallic clanging of footsteps reverberate in the air, clear to see.

"Indeed, it’s you, the child of prophecy."

The Elf Knight Gawain, relying on her height, gazed down at Reiger, speaking with an attitude of superiority.

"No, we’ve all been fooled. You are not the child of prophecy, not even an outsider magician, just an unidentified human."

Reiger didn’t immediately respond to Gawain’s words.

Because he clearly felt that the Gawain standing before him now had undergone an earth-shattering transformation compared to before.

Gawain was already powerful and dangerous, but not like now, with a presence that seemed to be staring at by a fierce dog, as if about to be devoured at any moment.

Her aura had become intensely terrifying, her power stronger than before, even her appearance drastically different from the past.

The heavy armor she used to wear was gone, replaced by a revealing tight battle suit. The overall aura was no longer that of a noble knight but resembled a bloodthirsty Berserker, displaying a dark red hue. Even the chains entwined around her had turned black and red, including one of her eyes, which had turned a black and red color.

The large sword she held had completely changed its appearance, still exuding a burning aura, now with an additional fierce darkness. Its entirety was black, and it seemed to harbor a blood-red magical flame.

It was no longer the holy sword of a knight but a demonic sword that devoured humans.

Moreover, a pair of horns that weren’t there before grew on her head, and Reiger immediately understood.

"I see, you’ve abandoned Morgan’s bestowed name, relinquished the spirit foundation of Knight Gawain of the Round Table, and reclaimed your true name?"

Reiger stated.

Among Queen Morgan’s three fairy knights, aside from Bawan Xi, who became strong only after receiving Morgan’s bestowed name and the spirit foundation of Knight Tristan, the other two were not strengthened but restricted, becoming weaker than they were originally.

Their original power far surpassed the bestowed "names" and "vessels," more dangerous than the legendary Knights Lancelot and Gawain of the Round Table.

Morgan bestowed names and spirit foundations much weaker than them, effectively adding a ceiling to them, limiting their original power.

It was like forcing a liter of water into a half-liter cup, thereby capping both Fairy Knight Gawain and Fairy Knight Lancelot’s power and original forms.

Now, although Fairy Knight Lancelot remained unchanged, the once severely injured and defeated Fairy Knight Gawain had finally abandoned the false name and power and returned to her original state.

There was no other choice.

"After being defeated by you, I resolved to abandon the name bestowed by Her Majesty, regain my original power, and received her permission to become what I am now."

The once Fairy Knight Gawain, her eyes flashing red like a fierce dog, stared intently at Reiger.

"Without doing so, I cannot wash away this shame."

"Without doing so, I cannot take revenge."

"Only by reclaiming everything that was mine can I defeat you. This was the reality I realized lying in that ruin."

The black fierce dog bared its teeth, announcing in a high roar.

"Fairy Knight Gawain is a thing of the past!"

"I am now the cursed atavistic Alinge, the black dog that threatens all of Britain!"

"My true name is—Bagster!"

Bagster, a mythical name that appeared in the folklore of pan-human history, is a fairy from the north of England.

It is said that it had burning antennas and eyes, appearing as a black dog chained, heralding death within cities.

Whenever someone died, the fairy Bagster would appear. If someone of prominence died within the city, it would prowl the streets with a pack of dogs.

Outside the city, Bagster was not just a herald of death but a giver of death, haunting the highlands, and would bite to death any passerby.

Although in folklore, Bagster only appeared in the northern parts of England, its myth was widespread throughout all of England.

In the Fairy Country Britain, however, the black dog was seen as an embodiment of curses, akin to the unwelcome Mors, feared and unwanted.

Fairy Knight Gawain, or rather Bagster, was in truth the leader of cursed black dogs, a man-eating fairy.

"Let’s have a rematch, Reiger Brillhaut!"

Bagster shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Reiger’s lips curled into a smile.

"Then bring it on!"
