Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1506 - 1055: I Must Witness That Moment

"Boom..."

As the ground rumbled, like a volcano erupting underground, the surface gradually bulged. Reiger and Beluti in his arms were involuntarily lifted with the rising ground, raising their sights higher and higher.

In front of them, the earth, just drenched by black rain, slowly transformed into a stone giant.

The stone giant, like the night spirit, was entirely a deep black color, darker than the night itself. It stood at a height of over fifty meters, small compared to the colossal walls of Nanierga, yet towering over the surrounding trees.

The jet-black stone giant appeared before Reiger and Beluti, as if the mountain god of the forest had awakened. Although it didn’t roar menacingly, its presence was impressively formidable.

"This is not good!" Beluti’s angelic face slightly changed as she said, "The night spirit directly seized the earth, transforming it into its parasitic host!"

Without needing Beluti’s warning, Reiger had already witnessed the entire process.

"Interesting."

Watching as the night spirit eroded first his own [苍] and then the earth to become a stone giant, Reiger’s lips curled slightly.

He admitted he had developed quite an interest in this monster.

Unfortunately, the monster only harbored malice towards Reiger.

"Boom..."

With a rumbling sound, the jet-black stone giant slowly raised its hand and, without saying a word, punched towards Reiger’s direction.

"Boom!"

This was a violent roar like a mountain splitting apart.

It was louder than thunder, fiercer than a regular explosion, like the earth itself was roaring.

The instant the roar sounded, the spot where the jet-black stone giant’s massive fist landed shattered, spewing a mass of gravel and dust, sending a shockwave in all directions.

Even the surrounding trees were blown away by the earth-shaking strike, either uprooted or snapped in half, toppling over in an instant.

"Swoosh!"

In mid-air, holding Beluti, Reiger appeared as if standing on the ground, hovering calmly.

"Hold tight."

After instructing Beluti in his arms, without waiting for a response, Reiger’s figure suddenly flickered, disappearing from the spot.

"Whoosh—"

Simultaneously, the giant black stone hand swished past where Reiger had been a second ago, creating a gust of wind.

Using [苍]’s derived ability, Reiger moved at high speed comparable to teleportation, suddenly appearing behind the stone giant, clenching his fist, and throwing a powerful punch.

This scene, at first glance, seemed utterly ridiculous.

Compared to the fifty-meter-plus body of the stone giant, Reiger’s fist was tiny, akin to a needle.

But when that tiny fist landed on the stone giant, the power it unleashed was earth-shattering.

"Boom—"

A terrifying force erupted behind the stone giant, as if an invisible missile exploded, shattering the stone giant’s back and pushing it towards the ground.

"Boom—"

Another thunderous crash as the fallen stone giant crushed a large area of trees, kicking up a thick cloud of dust that billowed upwards.

Reiger then ascended higher using the recoil from his punch, retracting his fist swirling with flowing flame-like energy.

With the enhancement from the curse energy, the punch Reiger just threw was incredibly powerful.

With parameters far exceeding the Lv.9 level in "strength" and superhuman curse energy output enhancement, this punch could blast apart a mountain, let alone a stone giant.

"[Giant Serpent]."

Seeing the jet-black stone giant struggling to rise despite its shattered back, Reiger, unfazed, formed a hand sign to summon the shadow shikigami from [Ten Shadow Techniques].

Instantly, from the darkness, an enormous white serpent, even larger than the stone giant, burst out with a hiss.

The shikigami serpent coiled around the stone giant’s body, binding it like a python constricting its prey, the menacing snakehead lunging at the stone giant’s head, hissing continuously.

The scene looked like two colossal beasts locked in fierce combat.

The stone giant struggled violently, raising its hands to grip the shikigami serpent’s head, attempting to pull it off, but in vain.

"Crack—crack crack—"

Soon, under the tightening bind of the shikigami serpent’s coils, the stone giant’s body started to crack, with its stone surface breaking apart.

Just as Reiger thought victory was assured, the stone giant suddenly became motionless.

"Gurgle..."

In a boiling-like commotion, the stone giant’s black color began to fade, causing it to disintegrate as if it had lost its life.

"Hiss!"

Simultaneously, the shikigami serpent began to emit a painful cry.

The reason being, the deep blackness receding from the stone giant clung onto the serpent like a parasitic scourge.

"It’s actually starting to parasitize the serpent?"

Reiger raised an eyebrow, and without hesitation, dispelled the technique, canceling the summoning of [Giant Serpent].

The Shikigami O-Great Snake instantly transformed into a splash of black water and dissipated, surprisingly resembling the original form of the Night Spirit.

As the Shikigami O-Great Snake turned into black water and dissipated, another surge of deep-dark black water appeared there, continuously writhing.

"Sir!"

Seeing Reiger still wanting to make a move, Beluti, tightly holding onto his neck and embraced by his arm, quickly reminded him.

"Pure physical and magical attacks are ineffective against the Night Spirit, unable to harm it at all."

"To deal with a semi-immortal creature like the Night Spirit, there are usually two methods."

"One is sealing, and the other is mental attacks."

Upon hearing this, Reiger paused his actions.

As for sealing, Reiger had thought about it too.

If the enemy can’t be solved, then just seal them; even Gojo Satoru could handle it this way.

But mental attacks?

"Is it effective?"

Reiger asked casually.

"Yes." Beluti said confidently, "Unlike its absolute-unharmed shell, the Night Spirit’s inner structure is very fragile, lacking concrete consciousness, with only cruel and evil instincts, even worse than a beast."

"Therefore, the Night Spirit’s resistance to mental abilities is almost zero, and once you launch a mental attack, even if it can’t kill it, it can render it incapable of fighting."

"Either seal it or destroy it with mental attacks; these are the only two ways to deal with the Night Spirit."

Upon hearing Beluti’s words, Reiger nodded, indicating understanding.

Although his ability in these two aspects was somewhat lacking, he possessed an ability that could directly attack the soul.

Compared to mental faculties, the soul is the fundamental core of a living entity.

Thus—

"Slash!"

An invisible cut suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the writhing black water and slicing it in half.

Clearly, it was Ryomensukuna’s technique.

Reiger silently released an invisible slash and severed the Night Spirit’s body.

This kind of attack should have been ineffective against the Night Spirit.

However, when the slash hit the Night Spirit and split the black water into two, the writhing black water seemed to be in deep pain, directly falling to the ground and rolling around.

The reason why this happened is only one.

The Night Spirit’s soul was being attacked.

Back then, to deal with Reiger, Ryomensukuna had developed this style of soul-slashing technique.

Its name is—

"[Release · Blade of Soul Break]."

Reiger stood in the air, releasing another slash.

"Boom!"

The two blobs of black water rolling on the ground were instantly hit by the invisible slash from above, cutting into them viciously along with the ground, causing it to erupt with a boom, scattering rocks everywhere.

The incredibly powerful slash even cut through the ground, slicing through the remaining body of the Night Spirit, making it explode.

The exploding black water appeared like patches of black stains, scattered over the ground, one would barely guess they are parts of the same creature’s body.

The dust slowly settled, and Reiger, carrying Beluti, descended from the sky, landing in the shattered pit, facing the scattered black water.

"It seems that attacks targeting the soul are indeed effective."

After waiting a while without seeing the Night Spirit rise again, Reiger calmly said.

"It was actually an attack on the soul?"

Beluti, stepping away from Reiger, while looking at the black blotches on the ground and listening to Reiger’s remarks, seemed amazed.

In the Source, magic development far surpasses that of the Akasha continent, even ancient magical civilizations might not compare.

However, even in such a Source, magic that affects the soul remains rare, and learning it is inseparable from virtualization affinity.

The fact that Reiger was able to use such "magic" made Beluti silently ponder.

"Just like the recent rumors suggest, the savior who has recently arrived appears to be different from before, not weak even upon their first arrival."

Reiger’s bold stand against the Abyss Demon Lord, causing it to suffer, has only spread in small circles so far.

Beluti did not know about this incident, but had received some whispers about Reiger’s strengths.

"No wonder Sir was able to face the Abyss Gate so soon after his arrival, facing the Abyss army alone."

Recalling the future she envisioned, Beluti resolved even more firmly.

She must witness that scene and resolve the abyss gate completely.
