Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1198 - 875: "Key

In the end, Reiger still chose not to kill Claude.

Not out of fear, but simply because it was unnecessary.

A Sword Saint, at his level of strength, would be worthy of attention even to a great nation, but to Reiger now, it was nothing impressive.

Exchanging the life of such an unimportant Sword Saint, who hadn’t even had the chance to harm him, for some future troubles was certainly not worth it.

Thus, Reiger did not kill Claude, nor did he choose to use the risky [Memory Manipulation] magic to extract information from him, but rather planned to use spirit-type magic to make him talk.

However, this attempt did not go smoothly.

Unlike those earlier minions, Claude, as a nation’s pinnacle of strength, was naturally wary of various anomalous magic and prepared certain methodologies to counteract such effects.

At the level of a Sword Saint, to guard against enemy interference magic during battle, they usually develop measures to counter such tactics.

Some train their willpower to resist interference magic through sheer force of will.

Others equip themselves with secret treasures and magical tools to be immune to the effects of interference magic.

And some consume magic potions to increase their magic resistance.

Claude was of the last category.

After becoming a Sword Saint, Claude had consumed precious magic potions multiple times, some aiding in sword skill practice, some enhancing physical growth speed, and some increasing magic resistance.

If that were all, with Reiger’s current magical prowess, controlling Claude would still be possible.

The problem was, this middle-aged knight had a strong will, and each time he was controlled, he would struggle free within seconds, ultimately breaking free from enchantment magic and spirit magic control.

"Seems you’re not just a name in vain."

Reiger couldn’t help but admire this stubborn knight.

"Huff... huff..."

Claude was breathing heavily, unable to muster the energy to respond to Reiger.

Obviously, breaking free from Reiger’s magical control wasn’t easy for Claude.

Seeing this, Reiger didn’t spare Claude another glance and turned to leave.

"You... won’t kill me?"

Claude asked, panting.

"There’s no need." Reiger replied without turning his head, calmly saying, "Even if I don’t know now, once I reach Urvas and enter the queen’s palace, I will learn everything."

"Including the identity of the person who sent you, I will know that too."

"Isn’t that why, once exposed, you immediately revealed your name?"

Claude remained silent.

Reiger’s statement was undoubtedly correct.

Claude Ogman, he was not some nameless figure.

As one of only seven Sword Saints in the Queen’s realm and one of the more well-known ones, a little inquiry could easily reveal information about Claude Ogman.

This included who he was on good terms with and who he regularly mingled with; these were no secrets in the noble circles.

If Reiger took the effort to inquire, then Claude and the identity of the one who sent him could not be hidden.

This was precisely why Claude did not hide his identity and directly revealed his name.

And the matter regarding the "puppet," with so many forces sending people to attack her, evidently showed that many knew her uniqueness.

In other words, it was not something that could be concealed; even if Claude didn’t say it, Reiger would eventually find out.

Of course, the most crucial factor was that the one who had already awakened, with her powers revived to this extent, any attempt to stop her now would likely fail.

Although the outcome wasn’t fixed, it was almost determined, as even with their means, it seemed unlikely they could overcome the queen.

If someone like Reiger Brillhaut were to assist her, then reversing the final outcome would be even more impossible.

The skies over Tistis Kingdom were destined to change.

"That’s not so bad..."

Claude fell silent for a moment, then suddenly relaxed his expression.

"Handing this country over to her is better than letting it fall apart in the hands of a bunch of incompetents."

Finishing this sentence, Claude closed his eyes.

He finally couldn’t hold on and drifted into unconsciousness.

Reiger had no intention to tend to this Sword Saint, so he used teleportation magic and left this place.

If Claude didn’t die by his hand but perished in this icy wilderness, that wasn’t his concern.

...

"Whoosh!"

Inside the racing dragon carriage, Reiger’s figure once again appeared, sitting down between Liz and Yuloli.

"Master!"

Liz, who seemed a bit worried just moments ago, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master."

Lilith also relaxed her expression.

Yanifet and Yuloli didn’t speak; the two were staring each other down, seemingly engaged in something unknown.

"Sorted out?"

Instead, Ellie’s the one who approached to ask, prompting Leo, who was observing Yanifet, to perk up his ears.

"Pretty much." Reiger didn’t elaborate, ambiguously replied, then said, "That should be the last one, there won’t be any more attacks."

This statement caught the attention of Yanifet, who was intensely watching Yuloli.

"Attackers?" Yanifet sneered: "This time, they were somewhat capable."

That tone was not at all like a compliment, more like a taunting sarcasm.
