Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1181 - 866: Yanifet (2)

Of course, their afterglow is clearly passed down.

The last queen of Reinnaier, Yuloli, before her life’s end, fought a decisive battle against the "King of Calamity" and provided a sanctuary for humanity, building the Hidden Land, sending the last embers into it.

The Tistis family clearly did not enter the Hidden Land as the ember, but stayed on the continent with the last queen to face the ultimate showdown against the monsters.

As a result of the great showdown, that "King of Calamity" was submerged into the ocean, sealed away, and the last queen of Reinnaier also perished from exhaustion.

The Tistis family, however, survived and became the last ember of that ancient magical civilization, following the queen’s will, they buried the queen’s body along with the "King of Calamity’s" kin—the Fire Dragon King—in the ruins of Reinnaier, embarking on the journey to find a second homeland.

"Judging by this pace, the Tistis family must have fled to this Northern Polar Region."

Why would they choose this harsh polar environment?

Reiger felt that perhaps they intended to guard the entrance to the Hidden Land, becoming the sanctuary’s protectors.

Moreover, at that time the Akashi continent had just undergone a war capable of destroying a civilization, the other parts of the continent were surely riddled with scars, environments likely even harsher than this Northern Polar Region, unfit for human habitation.

Hence, the Tistis family chose to come to this remote Northern Polar Region, guarding the entrance to the sanctuary while continuing their lineage.

As for why they did not enter the Hidden Land, perhaps it was because the Casafiger Mountains were already shrouded by a super storm of snow.

After experiencing a war miserable enough to annihilate civilization, even if a few people from the Tistis family survived by chance, they likely no longer had the ability to traverse that snowstorm, find the Casafiger Mountains, and activate the teleportation array located there.

And at that time, the Hidden Land only had a few embers left, weak in power, even if they used special treasures to observe the appearance of the outside world, it would probably lack the ability to return to this continent.

Under such circumstances, the Tistis family began to thrive in this Northern Polar Region, becoming the oldest, strongest, and most mysterious tribe amidst the icy wilderness.

Later, through countless years of development, people finally began to emerge from the Hidden Land, and the continent also gradually became inhabitable again.

With the removal of the greatest threat posed by monsters, humanity rapidly reproduced, to the extent that some settled in this Northern Polar Region as well.

Various countries began to appear, and the North saw the emergence of the "Zinia" Kingdom.

Later, the Zinia Kingdom encountered the Tistis tribe, and the strongest priestess in the Tistis tribe stepped out at Zinia’s invitation, became queen, and founded the Tistis Queendom.

"So..."

Reiger once again looked at the mural before him.

"Isn’t this a mural from the Ancient Magic Civilization Period?"

From the content of the mural, it can be seen that what’s depicted is not events from the Ancient Magic Civilization Period, but events that occurred after its end, when the survivors of the Tistis family set foot on this Northern Polar Region.

The mural’s last depiction is also of the priestess from the Tistis tribe—the first queen stepping out from the tribe, and her tale heading towards the Zinia Kingdom.

The person wearing the crown is undoubtedly the first queen.

Thus, these four murals do not depict the deeds of the Ancient Magic Civilization Period, but rather the history of the Tistis family’s survivors thriving in the Northern Polar Region.

This segment of history even details the scene of the first queen stepping out from the Tistis tribe, proving its illustrator can be traced back to when the Zinia Kingdom had not yet been renamed the Tistis Queendom, becoming one of only four great nations on the continent.

This is unlike the murals encountered before, which could trace history back at least 11,000 years to the demise of the Ancient Magic Civilization, but rather represents a new history emerging after its extinction.

"The establishment of the Tistis Queendom is just a matter of a few hundred years ago."

"So, these murals are at most only a few hundred years old."

"This isn’t some ancient ruins either, but a northern site left from several hundred years ago."

Reiger sorted everything out.

"Now, the question arises."

"Who is the person that left these murals?"

"What is this place?"

Reiger unintentionally muttered these words.

Then—

"This was once the tribal land of the Tistis tribe, and the person who left these murals is also the now-vanished Tistis tribe."

As such a cold and indifferent voice arose from beside him, Reiger narrowed his eyes.

A cold aura subtly approached, causing Reiger’s skin to sting slightly.

Reiger calmly turned his head, looking to his side.

There, Cleria still stood, even continuing to gaze at those murals.

Only, her eyes again gleamed with golden light, and her pink hair began to dye ice blue from the roots due to the fluctuation of the cold aura.

"...you’ve returned again?"

Reiger surprisingly calmly spoke these words.

The girl before him once again transformed from Cleria Michelle into a mysterious unknown existence.

"Yanifet."

Without even glancing at Reiger, the girl said so indifferently.

"What?"

Reiger was slightly taken aback.

"This is my name." The opposing party still spoke in a calm tone: "You are strong, so you are worthy of knowing my true name, also worthy of calling my name directly."

The mysterious existence known as Yanifet said this, though cold and indifferent, Reiger could feel her attitude had significantly transformed.

"Yanifet... is it?"

Reiger searched once more in his mind.

Unfortunately, it was a name he had never heard before.

"What about Cleria?" Reiger asked: "How is she now?"

"What’s the matter? You care a lot about my borrowed body?" Yanifet glanced at Reiger and said: "Rest assured, that girl is only asleep for now, at least that’s the case currently."

After saying this, Yanifet turned to face Reiger.

"Now, it’s your turn to tell me." Yanifet coldly said: "Who are you?"

"Reiger Brillhaut." Reiger wasn’t secretive, directly responding: "And you? Who exactly are you? Why do you appear on Cleria?"

The girl before him was clearly not the same person as Cleria.

Reiger had some speculation about the identity of the other party, but it was merely speculation, not guaranteed to be accurate.

Therefore, he was quite curious about her identity and origin.

Only, the other party seemed unwilling to make things clear.

"Although you are powerful, powerful enough to defeat me, I will not acknowledge that you are above me before I regain the Inheritance Sword and restore all my strength." Yanifet faintly said: "If you want me to listen to you and learn the things you want to know, then wait until you defeat me at my full strength."

"Ho?" Reiger narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile and said: "You mean, only the strong can rule everything?"

"Of course." Yanifet replied without hesitation: "Strength is truth, and the stronger have the right to rule over everything of the weaker, this is the way of the world."

"The victor can gain everything, whereas the defeated will have nothing, this is the rule of the grasslands, as well as the snowfields."

"In my time, I never tasted defeat, so I gained everything, also ruled everything."

"If you wish to rule over me, then defeat me at my prime."

Leaving these words, Yanifet turned and left here.

"Where are you going?"

Reiger asked instinctively.

"Inside."

Yanifet said without looking back.

"I require something sleeping here."
