Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1755 - 1184: Questions Emerging in My Mind (2)

But to natural life forms, which are completely opposite to abyssal creatures, these things are like poison.

Once contaminated by this substance, even monsters would fall into becoming abyssal creatures, turning into legions commanded by the Abyss Demon Lords.

Reiger understands this better than the High Priest.

The High Priest probably learned about these matters from records left by ancient magic civilizations, but Reiger has personally visited the Source World and understands that world better than the High Priest.

Abyssal aura, Reiger has dealt with it more than once.

The problem is...

"Why does this thing appear here?" Reiger asked the High Priest, "After the fall of the ancient magic civilization, abyssal aura should logically not appear in this world anymore."

The "King of Calamity" is tied to the abyssal existence that once spread abyssal aura across the continent. Reiger already knew about this.

The disaster that led to the fall of the ancient magic civilization initially manifested as the black mist in Holy Lance, which Reiger recognized as abyssal aura.

But the ancient magic civilization has perished, and the "King of Calamity" has been sealed away. Logically, there should no longer be any abyssal aura in the world.

If it were on the Akasha continent, perhaps due to certain reasons, some abyssal aura might linger from eleven thousand years ago.

But where is this place?

This is the Hidden Land!

As a sanctuary established by the ancient magic civilization to preserve its fire, abyssal aura should not exist here. The late Yuloli would not have allowed abyssal aura to invade here; otherwise, how could the fire continue to flourish?

Thus, when seeing abyssal aura emerge here, Reiger was indeed astounded.

This was something that shouldn’t have appeared.

Unexpectedly, the High Priest’s expression also appeared very grim.

"This issue is also something I wish to understand."

Evidently, the arrival of the abyssal aura caught the High Priest unprepared as well.

In fact, anyone aware of the existence of abyssal aura in the Hidden Land would feel unprepared and even terrified.

It’s known that the ancient magic civilization was destroyed by the manipulators behind this abyssal aura.

Now, eleven thousand years later, the return of abyssal aura inevitably brings to mind the precursors to the disaster back then.

"No one could imagine that disaster would suddenly strike like this."

"The first appearance was the endless black mist that covered the sky."

"Without any signs, without any build-up, it suddenly emerged in Holy Lance."

"Countless people fell into delirium within the wicked black mist before they had time to react."

"Then, the entire Holy Lance descended into chaos."

Anyone who has read "The Last Glory" is likely to think of that terrifying disaster the instant abyssal aura suddenly strikes.

This time is no different.

No signs, no build-up...

It simply appeared suddenly.

But this time, it appeared within the Hidden Land, inside the sanctuary.

"Anyway, the most urgent task is to overcome the immediate crisis." The High Priest composed herself and said in a low voice to Liz: "Your Highness, can I ask you to use the holy sword to drive away this abyssal aura and save those who have been eroded and infected?"

"According to historical records, abyssal aura can only be resisted; once eroded and polluted, it cannot be saved."

"But the holy sword alone, its power is the nemesis of abyssal aura."

"Now, only you can save these people here and drive away that abyssal aura."

Upon hearing this, Liz finally regained some composure.

However, she did not agree outright and instead looked to Reiger.

Suppose it were merely her own will; she would undoubtedly take action.

Yet, the little princess always felt that she was not an extraordinary person.

In her heart, she was just Reiger’s attendant.

As for the little games at night... Ahem, as a loyal and dedicated attendant, accompanying the master in some beneficial games to both body and mind shouldn’t be considered excessive, right?

The attendant, after all, serves and serves, and isn’t that the way it should be?

This is very reasonable!

Therefore, whether or not to take action depends on Reiger’s decision.

"Go ahead."

Reiger naturally felt no refusal, nodding to the little princess, prompting her to take a deep breath.

"Moslo!"

Hence, Liz drew the golden sword from her embrace.

"Buzz!"

The Sword of Moslo seemed to have been waiting for this moment all along. Once Liz drew it from its sheath, it immediately soared into the air, hovering there while spinning swiftly.

"Thrumm—"

A resplendent, dazzling, surging, mysterious, ancient, and venerated radiance instantly bloomed from the sacred sword suspended in midair.

Like a tide, the radiance unfurled towards the surroundings, gradually enveloping everything around it.

————!

Outside the grand hall, the abyssal aura continuously clashing against the barrier retreated swiftly, like mice encountering a cat, immediately howling as the sacred sword’s radiance touched it.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

Those infected and polluted by the abyssal aura, whether engaged in battle with the temple knights or bound within the grand hall, emitted cries of agony as the golden light enveloped them.

Black fumes constantly emanated from their bodies as if being evaporated by high temperatures; some knelt in agony, some collapsed directly, and others rolled back and forth on the ground, prompting alarmed cries and shouts from those who recognized them.

The sacred sword’s power continuously purified the abyssal aura until no more black fumes emerged from the infected.

"It’s done!"

"The abyssal aura has been expelled from them!"

"Quickly! Get a priest to perform some healing!"

"Move the unconscious into the hall!"

The priests and temple knights cried out with delight, casting fanatical and worshipful eyes towards the Sword of Moslo and Liz as they busily attended to instructions from the priests.

"Swish!"

After purifying the abyssal aura from the infected, the Sword of Moslo instantly flew outside the hall, carrying its brilliant radiance, surging towards the pervasive abyssal aura beyond.

"Boom—"

The abyssal aura roiled and roared, but faced with this enemy’s power, the once disaster-like aura could only scatter frantically, either retreating continuously or vanishing under the sacred sword’s purification.

The darkness engulfing the entire sanctuary was gradually replaced by vibrant and dazzling radiance, its scale steadily shrinking, its threat diminishing, and finally scattering into hundreds of wisps of black mist, fleeing in every direction.

"This is bad!"

Witnessing this, the High Priest’s expression changed.

"We can’t let those abyssal auras escape!"

If those abyssal auras were to run amok in the Hidden Land, the High Priest couldn’t even fathom the consequences.

"Quickly, pursue them!"

"Chase after them!"

"We can’t let the disaster reoccur in the Hidden Land!"

The priests scattered in urgency, rapidly pursuing the escaping abyssal auras.

Including the High Priest, who joined the pursuit.

While unable to purify abyssal aura, they could use magic to restrain and bring them back for Liz to purify.

Though handling a larger scale might be challenging, smaller scales did not pose much concern.

"Master."

"Master."

Liz and Lilith looked to Reiger, seemingly asking whether they should assist the sanctuary.

"...Pursue them."

Reiger furrowed his brows, feeling a surge of questions within.

He sensed that the sudden appearance of abyssal aura was perhaps not as simple as it appeared.

But with no clues at hand, they could only pursue and resolve the abyssal aura first.

"Understood!"

The group had no objections and quickly agreed.
