Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1196 - 874: To Kill or Not to Kill?

"————"

In an instant, an overwhelming pressure descended upon Claude.

The oncoming pressure was like an invisible avalanche, burying Claude so deeply that he couldn’t even shout or breathe.

He could only remain motionless like a frog being stared down by a snake, under Reiger’s gaze, not daring to move.

This made him want to scream in his heart.

"Reiger Brillhaut...this power is definitely not inferior to those two women before!"

Claude’s mindset was really collapsing.

Why?

Why is this group of young people so overwhelmingly strong, one after the other?

Whether it was the two women before, the bothersome warrior goddess, or the boy who became famous across the continent within just less than a year, they were all so young yet so powerful.

In front of them, he felt like a clown, the supposed title of Sword Saint more like a joke.

"Sha..."

Just as Claude’s mindset was collapsing, Reiger suddenly began to move, walking slowly towards him.

"......!"

Claude instinctively wanted to retreat, but his pride stopped him, making him grit his teeth and try to stand firm.

The hand gripping his sword was very strong, making the cold light on the flame-shaped sword shine ever brighter.

This flame-shaped sword was the secret treasure Claude had once found in a perilous place, along with his mastery of an advanced sword technique, which built his current strength and status.

As a secret treasure, the power of this sword was extremely limited.

Because it was specially developed for the advanced sword technique Claude studied.

If anyone else obtained it, the power they could exert would be very limited, not even as powerful as a high-level magical weapon, but if it falls into the hands of someone who has learned the matching sword technique, it would complement each other and amplify its power, possessing a might surpassing ordinary ancient secret treasures.

Relying on this flame-shaped sword and the matching sword technique, Claude had always been the strongest at his level.

Without the flame-shaped sword, Claude would at most be equivalent to a Shadow Sword Saint Rom, but with the acumen of both the flame-shaped sword and the matching sword technique, his strength would exceed that of a level 7 top fighter like Revin Meipros, even with the Amber Blade, allowing an explosive power close to level 8, yet not even Sgranot may not be his opponent.

In the Kingdom of Genas, at the very least, Claude could rank within the top three among Sword Saints, just behind Redson and Flon, and could even hold his own against Flon to some extent and maintain a deadlock for a while.

In the Tistis Kingdom, Claude also held a solid third place power, vying for second, if it hadn’t been for the quick and overwhelming rise of that warrior goddess, he might have contested for the top position.

This made Claude very confident, thinking that he had already reached a pinnacle of power on the continent, if not the strongest, then certainly among the strongest.

Even though he suffered a crushing defeat to that warrior goddess a year ago, Claude believed she relied on the National Guardian Divine Weapon passed down through the royal family. Without that, she wouldn’t have been his match at all.

Until today, until this moment, Claude realized how naive he had been, like a frog in a well.

But... even when faced with overwhelming power, he would not take a step back!

"Oh... oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...!"

When Reiger closed in to a position just three meters away from Claude, Claude exploded.

He raised the flame-shaped sword high, performing a powerful slash with endless cold brilliance, roaring as it bore down on Reiger, causing the atmosphere to explode.

"[Radiant Golden Red Body]."

"[Ice Attribute Nullification]."

"[Earth Mother’s Power]."

Facing a strike that seemed capable of cleaving mountains and seas, Reiger calmly chanted three magic spells quickly, causing three kinds of magical light to flash on his body.

Then, the cold glowing slash struck him heavily.

"Boom!"

The atmosphere trembled, the light exploded like a flash bang, causing countless flying snow to rise skyward, mixed in the snow and wind, forming a howling storm.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Claude stood at the center of the blizzard, continuing to roar wildly, making the flame-shaped sword transform into a cold sword gleam, slashing continuously, producing dazzling light explosions, devastatingly ravaging everything in front of him.

Amidst the roaring, the mountainside crumbled, the snow swirled in chaos, and the explosion of cold brilliance caused the temperature to plummet sharply to an astonishing level, leading to the condensation and collapse of innumerable ice, which together with the collapsing mountainside, swirled in the raging snowflakes, forming a real avalanche.

If seen from afar, the avalanche could be observed roaring with thunderous sound, collapsing along with the mountain slope, crashing down like a waterfall, stirring up countless snow dust, covering the sky and the earth, burying everything.

However, the instigator of all this was also about to be met with a tragic ravage.

"Bang!"

Just as Claude continued his frenzied attacks, a silhouette suddenly appeared amidst the blizzard, parting endless snowflakes and cold brilliance, and kicked Claude hard.

"Gah...!"

Claude’s body bent, and with a strange cry, he was sent flying.

Like a cannonball being launched, he tore open a circular passage through the snowfall.

The silhouette that emerged from the blizzard flashed rapidly, in pursuit at an even faster speed, following the circular path to catch up with the cannonball-like flying Claude.
