Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1343 - 958: I’m Very Serious

"Did it finally appear?"

When that ghastly and terrifying figure lunged towards him like the most ferocious and hideous monster imaginable, bringing an overwhelming presence and terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe, Reiger wasn’t surprised.

In fact, anyone who understands the special-grade sorcerer Okkotsu Yuta would know that this terrifying presence is what makes him unique.

It was a figure resembling a snake woman, but far more frightening than any snake woman.

Its entire body was in black and white colors, with the upper half being white and the lower half black.

The white upper half was humanoid, yet so emaciated that its ribs protruded, with claws that were long and sharp like the world’s most vicious weapon. The head was entirely monstrous, lacking eyes, ears, and nose, but having a mouth full of sharp teeth and hair-like tube-like appendages trailing behind, evoking a sense of horror just at a glance.

The black lower half was shaped like a snake’s tail, as dark as ink, seemingly capable of endless extension. Even as the monster’s upper half fiercely charged at Reiger, the tail end remained connected to Okkotsu Yuta’s back, giving the impression of being rooted there, unwilling to leave its master.

It was without a doubt a Curse Spirit.

Yes, not a Shikigami, but a Curse Spirit.

Furthermore, this was a terrifying Curse Spirit whose appearance and power surpassed even the four special-grade Curse Spirits Reiger had faced before.

Yet this terrifying and ghastly Curse Spirit had an adorably innocent name — "Rikka."

The special-grade vengeful spirit — "Rikka."

This was the true form of the ferocious Curse Spirit before them.

She was originally a human being, a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Okkotsu Yuta and even made a promise to get married.

Due to an accident, she lost her precious life right in front of Okkotsu Yuta.

Witnessing the death of his beloved, Okkotsu Yuta’s Curse power awoke, inadvertently placing a Curse on her, causing her to become a Curse Spirit after death, bound to remain by Okkotsu Yuta’s side.

This is why Okkotsu Yuta was subjected to a secret execution by the sorcery authority.

Transformed into a Curse, turned into a Curse Spirit, Rikka has always protected Okkotsu Yuta from behind the scenes.

Anyone who bullied, scolded, or even approached Okkotsu Yuta would be punished by Rikka.

Because Rikka’s power was so immense, even stronger than most special-grade Curse Spirits, not even special-grade sorcerers could match her, Okkotsu Yuta was deemed an unstable factor and subjected to secret execution by the sorcery authority.

Last year, the reason Geto Suguru launched an attack during the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts was to obtain Rikka from Okkotsu Yuta, only to be defeated by Okkotsu Yuta and Rikka in turn.

From this, it is clear just how powerful Rikka, the special-grade vengeful spirit, truly is.

Geto Suguru called her the Curse Queen.

Even the high levels of the sorcery world referred to her as an extraordinary monster.

Gojo Satoru himself dubbed her a "terrifying woman."

If Curse Spirits such as Mahito, Luohu, Hanami, and Dagon were here, they might suffer a crushing defeat if they confronted this special-grade vengeful spirit alone.

This might be the strongest Curse Spirit that Reiger has seen so far.

This might also be the most terrifying Curse Spirit to appear in this world.

And her terror was now fully displayed before Reiger.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!"

With a scream as fierce as a banshee, the vengeful spirit-like Curse Spirit approached Reiger who stood on shattered stones and swung her arm at him.

"Clang!"

Reiger calmly raised his blade to block, deflecting the strike but still being blasted away along with the stones underfoot by the explosive power of the attack.

"Anyone who tries to harm Yuta — must! Be! Punished!"

A venomous voice echoed from its mouth, and unrelentingly the spirit moved through the air with astonishing speed, chasing after Reiger.

"[Flame Volt]."

Reiger maintained his airborne state, continuing to step on fragments of stone, while hurling a robust column of Flame Thunder at the incoming Rikka.

"Boom!"

The Flame Thunder exploded on Rikka, catching her off guard, sending bursts of fire and explosions lighting up the night sky.

"[Flame Volt]!"

"[Flame Volt]!"

"[Flame Volt]!"

Relentless, Reiger exploited the rapid-fire capability of his swift attack magic, unleashing Flame Thunders repeatedly. Each Flame Thunder raced across the sky like red lightning, bombarding Rikka one after another.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom——!"

Continuous explosions erupted on Rikka’s form, completely engulfing her in explosive flames.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

Rikka let out a scream, her charging form launched into the air, crashing into a building, causing it to collapse.

"Bang!"

Reiger then shattered the stones underfoot, bursting forth into the air, darting towards the direction where Rikka crashed into the building.

He raised the black blade in his hand, and as he approached Rikka, he slashed out, making a cold gleam shine in the night, dazzling and radiant.

"Snap!"

But at that moment, a clapping sound echoed from afar.

The massive form of Rikka that collided with the building suddenly vanished, replaced by the figure of a young boy.

"[Don’t move!]"

Having broken free from the [Curse] bind, Okkotsu Yuta stood on the debris of the building, holding a megaphone and shouted at Reiger.
