Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1398 - 986: Don’t Blame Me for Cheating

Upon hearing the words of the Angel, everyone present, except for Reiger, maintained their usual expressions.

Evidently, they all knew the Angel’s purpose.

"You and Ryomensukuna come from the same era?" Reiger seemed to understand a bit and asked, "Do you hold a grudge against him?"

"It’s not a matter of hatred, but of faith." The Angel spoke calmly, "To you all, this may seem very strange, but my faith does not allow me to ignore such evil ravaging lives unscrupulously in this world, so I have always wanted to eliminate Ryomensukuna."

"He is the Fallen."

"No matter what, I must destroy him."

The Angel manifesting through Kurusu Hana was beyond the others’ ability to see her expression.

But from her tone, everyone could sense a determination and persistence.

Just as the Angel had said, not many people would consider this explanation normal, and most would find it strange.

Only Reiger tentatively accepted this explanation.

When it comes to issues of faith, no matter how strange, it is understandable.

Once someone possesses a certain faith, it becomes their life principle, allowing no defiance.

It is a state of mind stronger than belief or confidence that enables perseverance and blind adherence.

And from the title of Angel and the contempt for possessing a host body, choosing instead to coexist with Kurusu Hana, it could be inferred that this ancient Curse Mage was entirely the opposite of Ryomensukuna, and unlike normal Curse Mages, is a thoroughly virtuous being.

"So, you were following Itadori before?"

Reiger spoke out.

Kurosu Hana and the Angel appeared as Poets within the Tokyo First Barrier, where they met Itadori Yuji and Nanami Kento, knowing that these two were gathering Poets who didn’t wish to kill, they proactively sought peace and joined Itadori Yuji’s team.

If they knew that Ryomensukuna’s soul resided within Itadori Yuji, then their proactive approach could be understood.

"...No, at that time, I didn’t know Itadori Yuji was the vessel for the Fallen."

The Angel was silent for a moment, then sighed and spoke.

"Initially, we only sought them out because we knew they were gathering Poets who didn’t want to kill each other. After hearing Itadori Yuji’s ideology, we thought it might be better to follow him to see if we could find a chance to expose Knot, end the Destruction Revisit game, and find the Fallen."

"It wasn’t until that Fallen subordinate named Li Mei appeared and revealed that the Fallen was residing within Itadori Yuji, that I learned Itadori Yuji was the vessel."

"But by then, it was too late to do anything."

As a result, the Poets including Nanami Kento were all killed by Li Mei, and the Angel and Kurusu Hana were almost killed on the spot by the freezing curse.

If it weren’t for their techniques being able to break Li Mei’s freezing curse, they would have already turned into a heap of ice chips.

Afterward, Itadori Yuji was taken away by Li Mei, and although the Angel was the sole survivor, she couldn’t track the other’s location.

Then, as they pursued, the Angel and Kurusu Hana entered the Tokyo Second Barrier, where they encountered Hakari Kinji and Panda, who led them here.

After learning the purpose of Reiger and the others, the Angel and Kurusu Hana decided to stay here to assist them.

"I can sense that the Fallen has appeared."

The Angel spoke with a very serious tone.

"He should be your enemy too, correct?"

"In that case, we have a common enemy."

"So, I will assist you." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

That is the reason for the presence of the Angel and Kurusu Hana here.

As for another Poet who appeared here...

"First, let me make it clear, Ryomensukuna is my opponent."

The young man dressed as a martial artist finally spoke.

Okkotsu Yuta timely made an introduction.

"He is Kashimo Hajime."

Upon hearing this, Reiger raised an eyebrow.

"Are you the Kashimo Hajime who, once the Destruction Revisit began, has been far ahead of everyone else, earning over 200 game points in just a few days, and was the first to add a new game rule, allowing everyone to freely find information about other Poets?"

When deciding to participate in the Destruction Revisit, Reiger had deliberately checked the list of Poets with over 100 game points.

There were two names that appeared.

One was Higuruma Hiromi from the Tokyo First Barrier.

The other was Kashimo Hajime from the Tokyo Second Barrier.

The latter, despite having added a rule, still retained 100 game points, undeniably leading all other Poets.

This suggests that, among all the Poets, Kashimo Hajime is one of the most formidable.

The fighting spirit and immense curse energy emanating from him also conveyed to Reiger that this individual’s prowess is likely superior to ancient Curse Mages like Uraume Hengzi, Ishi Ryuryu, and Druf.

Perhaps even Knot and Okkotsu Yuta might not be his match.

Seeing Reiger’s gaze upon himself, a battle spirit also surged in the other’s eyes.

"I am Kashimo." Kashimo Hajime fixed his determined gaze on Reiger and said, "I’ve heard about you from Hakari and Okkotsu."

"I heard you defeated Ryomensukuna?"

The emergence of this statement drew the attention of the Angel and Kurusu Hana towards Reiger as well.
