Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1208 - 881: Come and Duel with Me

In the Tistis Kingdom, the current Queen’s Order Captain, known as the Valkyrie, Charity Himalafuzz’s origins have always been a mystery.

She suddenly appeared one day, challenging a well-known True Knight without any prior fame, easily defeating him in front of a large audience, gaining fame as a genius female swordsman.

That year, she was 13 years old.

In other words, at the age of 13, Charity was already able to defeat True Knights, stronger than the average True Knight.

Thus, Charity became the youngest True Knight in the history of the Tistis Kingdom, receiving the True Knight Medal in Ulwashi, the capital of the Tistis Kingdom.

At that time, she was already a prominent figure, not only strong and with great potential but also young, tall, cold, and exceptionally beautiful, attracting numerous noble attempts to win her over.

Back then, some nobles even had sinister intentions, wishing to take in such a beautiful, powerful, and genius female swordsman for their own amusement.

As a result, Charity was targeted with hostility from many sources at that time.

There were threats.

There were bribes.

Some used force.

Some used soft tactics.

Finally, some even openly sent people to attack her, attempting to capture her.

But all these people were eventually defeated by Charity, and some noble families that stopped at nothing were uprooted by this young genius female swordsman, being erased from the Tistis Kingdom, causing quite an uproar.

Because of Charity’s strength and assertiveness, the nobles of the Tistis Kingdom even wanted to judge her guilty.

Who would have thought, after a while, not only was this female swordsman not judged guilty, but the royal family from the Queen’s palace stood up for her, publicly declaring that Charity’s actions were all in self-defense and she should be pardoned, whereas those eradicated nobles were each exposed for their unknown criminal deeds, eventually ending up with ruined reputations.

From that time on, there was speculation that Charity might be a member of the royal family and perhaps a direct princess.

However, the royal family neither confirmed nor denied this, leaving room for endless imagination.

Since then, Charity’s rise has become unstoppable.

At 13, she defeated a renowned True Knight head-on, received the True Knight Medal, and became the youngest True Knight in the Queen’s Kingdom history.

At 14, she joined the Queen’s Order, becoming the Vice Knight Captain of the Fourth Squad, already wielding senior True Knight level strength. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

At 15, she entered the Second Squad of the Queen’s Order, becoming the Knight Captain of the Second Squad, leading eleven knights.

At 17, she challenged the Vice Captain of the Queen’s Order and defeated him, becoming the second strongest in the entire Order, only behind the then Knight Captain.

At 19, she left the Queen’s Order, applied to venture out for training, entering the icy plains to hone her sword skills, during which she fought countless thieves and monsters, saving dozens of towns and villages from peril.

At 22, she returned from training, by which time she had defeated a thousand True Knights, officially receiving the Sword Saint Medal, becoming the youngest Sword Saint in the history of the Tistis Kingdom.

At 23, she challenged the Captain of the Queen’s Order, defeated him, and replaced him, becoming the Knight Captain.

At 24, she challenged two veteran Sword Saints in the country and once again defeated them before a large audience.

Now, at only 25, she is capable of wielding the National Guardian Divine Weapon, commanding the entire Queen’s Order, known as the Valkyrie, and is subtly regarded as the strongest in the Queen’s Kingdom.

This is truly a legendary life, a twelve-year rise to prominence, suddenly looking back, she has already ascended to the top domestically, with none above her but one person.

Yet, despite such a legendary life, the origins of this Valkyrie remain untold.

The people of the Queen’s Kingdom already believe Charity is of royal blood; even Reiger, having learned of all her feats, thought the same.

Until this moment, the other party revealed to Reiger that she was not of royal blood, but merely a descendant from a distant branch of the declining Tistis tribe, with generational inheritance, bloodline awakening, hence possessing incredible potential and embarking on a path of rise.

Apart from this, she had no background or support, she forged a path to power and overcame countless strong foes entirely on her own, without any intervention from anyone, not even the royal family that publicly defended her, who only wanted to win her over after discovering her bloodline awakening.

She can access the Inheritance Sword passed down through the Tistis Kingdom’s royal family, merely because she shares the same blood origin as the royal family.

As for why she could draw the Inheritance Sword, undoubtedly, it is also due to bloodline awakening, her potential was fully unlocked.

Moreover, as a Valkyrie, as the Captain of the Queen’s Order, the strongest female Sword Saint in the Queen’s Kingdom, the royal family made an exception for her to hold the Inheritance Sword and wield the National Guardian Divine Weapon.

Princess Her Highness?

Charity Himalafuzz was never a princess, not even a noble.

The Queen’s Kingdom has tried countless times to grant her nobility, but Charity, like Reiger, declined all of it.

Therefore, from an identity perspective, if we ignore Charity’s role as the Captain of the Queen’s Order, then she is a genuine commoner.

However... who would have thought?

This commoner-born, bloodline awakened Valkyrie had long joined a mysterious organization—the Sanctuary.

"A Holy Envoy... is it?"

Reiger narrowed his eyes, looking directly at Charity, finally asking the question.

"What exactly is the Sanctuary? And what is a Holy Envoy?"

This question, Charity did not answer.

"You seem to have gotten stronger than the last time."

This Valkyrie unexpectedly changed the topic abruptly, shifting to such a subject.

"You are too, aren’t you?"

Reiger was not surprised, responding with such a line.

"Not the same." Charity shook her head and said, "I became stronger because of continuous training, which is normal growth."

"But you are different."

"I can feel it; you seem to have stepped into another realm, completely different from the level before."

Charity gazed into Reiger’s icy blue eyes, a peculiar brilliance flickering within.

"This is different from both me and His Highness; we quickly became stronger due to the excavation and awakening of our bloodlines, whereas you have become stronger on another plane."

"It’s neither bloodline awakening nor atavism; it feels more like the very sublimation of the life level."

"I’m very curious about how you managed to achieve this."

It must be said, the intuition of this Martial Goddess is truly terrifying; not only does it manifest extraordinary effects in battle, consistently gaining the upper hand through countless exchanges, but it can also discern the different path through which Reiger became stronger.

The elevation of the level of divine grace is indeed an ongoing evolution, constantly expanding this vessel to inch closer to the realm of the divine.

This is the very sublimation of the life level.

Recognizing this, Charity’s intuition really surprised Reiger.

However, before Reiger could respond, Charity had already raised her sword.

"Come and spar with me."

Such were Charity’s words.

"Are you sure?" Reiger asked, with a hint of a smile, "If we start a duel here, even with a tactical level magic barrier, it wouldn’t withstand the clash of our powers, would it?"

At the level of Reiger and Charity, should they engage seriously, just the shockwaves would break a mere tactical level magic barrier.

To withstand the impact of their combat, nothing less than strategic level would make any magic barrier appear especially fragile.

This is with Reiger not using magic.

Should Reiger unleash powerful magic, neither this training ground nor the entire queen’s palace could hope to continue existing.

"It’s just sparring." Charity evidently had considered this aspect, and spoke calmly: "Sword techniques can be used, but no Magic Power. How about it?"

With this, it would be purely a close-quarters sword fight.

Reiger locked eyes with Charity once more, seeing the faint battle intent that flickered in her icy blue eyes.

After holding the gaze for a while, Reiger took steps forward, walking towards Charity.

"Clang..."

Amidst the metallic scraping sound, Reiger unsheathed the black blade tied to his waist as he walked.

On the black blade, patterns composed of Holy Text began to glow, flowing along these patterns in radiant streams.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Charity was somewhat surprised.

She remembered, although Reiger’s blade was somewhat remarkable, it was merely remarkable at best.

In their last bout, the high temperature emanating from the blade was indeed impressive, but its quality was comparable only to some Ancient Secret Treasures, far from reaching the level of the Inheritance Sword, the National Guardian Divine Weapon.

But this time, while the blade seemed the same, the perceptible high temperature had been restrained, and the flowing radiance and patterns on the blade had become more mysterious, profound, ancient...

Such a blade, judged by quality alone, might not fall short of the Inheritance Sword!

"Your blade..."

Charity’s eyes flashed as she looked at Reiger.

Reiger did not answer this question, much like Charity earlier, abruptly changing the topic.

"I’d like to make it clear beforehand," Reiger said calmly, "if I win, you’ll have to answer my questions properly."

Hearing this, Charity glanced deeply at Reiger.

"Only three."

"Alright."

"...assuming you can win."

"Isn’t that obvious?"

"You’re very confident?"

"Didn’t the results of our last encounter already clearly demonstrate that?"

"I’m stronger than last time."

"You just said I stepped into another realm."

"..."

"..."

In the cool training ground, the young man and young woman faced each other distantly, one wielding a blade, the other a sword, and after a quiet conversation, they both fell silent.

Not long after, both simultaneously pressed against the ground, violently shooting out, charging towards each other.
