Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1787 - 1200: We Can Crown You King_2

His dimensional cube was undoubtedly his greatest secret, known to almost no one except Liz.

But now it seems that some, including the High Priest and Lani, who have a thorough understanding of Reinnaier and Tistis’s lineage, might have guessed his association with this legendary "god".

Under such circumstances, Lani actually said those words.

"The purpose of the sanctuary is to reorder the continent, ideally returning it to the state of the ancient magical civilization period."

"By then, there will be only one king on this continent."

"Everyone will be governed under the banner of a single king, and only then will the Akasya continent be at its best."

Lani’s voice became filled with allure.

"You are the master whom Reinnaier serves. If I say we can make you the king, would you join us?"

As soon as those words were spoken, the whole gem tower fell silent in an instant.

If there were outsiders here who understood the situation, they’d surely be shocked to hear Lani’s words, wouldn’t they?

She actually sought to serve Reiger as her master, making him the sole king of the future Akasya continent!

This was no longer mere temptation but an irresistible allure for anyone!

If there was truly an opportunity to become the sole king of the continent, it’d be hard to believe that among the people here today, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred would be tempted!

However...

"Make me king?"

Reiger’s expression suddenly turned intriguing.

"The old guy behind you, whose face has been unsightly all along, seems to have a different opinion."

As soon as this was spoken by Reiger, the "Giant Soldier" standing on the platform moved.

"Boom——"

A storm formed of gems suddenly and without warning came crashing down from the platform, hurtling towards Reiger.

This was a spell from the "Giant Soldier"!

Moreover, it was a tactical-level magic!

While Reiger and Lani were talking as if no one else were around, the "Giant Soldier" had quietly begun chanting a spell. Now, with a sudden outburst, it cast tactical-level magic, sending a gem storm roaring in and expanding rapidly to nearly a hundred meters in diameter!

Although tactical-level magic isn’t as terrifying as strategic-level magic, which can destroy a metropolis, it can still wipe out an entire battalion!

In the rapidly changing battle, while this magic is powerful, its practicality is low since no enemy would let someone stand there, chanting magic with impunity.

However, the "Giant Soldier" seized the opportunity during Reiger and Lani’s conversation, slyly chanting magic in secret, releasing this gem storm. It must be said, this was incredibly deceitful.

But—

"[Crimson]."

Reiger remained utterly calm, facing the gem storm with tranquility, extending his hand, as red magical energy gathered at his fingertips.

"Boom!!!"

In the next moment, a red repulsion force surged out like a tidal wave, colliding forcefully with the oncoming gem storm, generating a tremendous roar.

The atmosphere trembled, and so did the gem tower. The storm of repulsion and the storm of gems clashed violently in the continuous tremors, raising waves of shock that swept through the entire hall.

However, it took only a few seconds for the storm of repulsion to overpower the storm of gems, with the red magical energy swiftly smashing the gem storm and blasting it apart.

"What?"

Lani had silently widened the distance and upon witnessing this scene, she showed a shocked expression.

"Impossible!"

The "Giant Soldier" couldn’t believe what he saw.

He wasn’t using an ordinary combat-level spell, but a tactical-level one!

A tactical-level magic capable of wiping out an entire battalion, and to release it, he had slyly hidden on the platform chanting spells secretly, yet... it was shattered by a casual blow from Reiger?

This was impossible!

"Getting surprised over this?". Reiger cast a glance at the "Giant Soldier" then turned to the equally shocked Lani, smiling faintly, "It seems you weren’t as attentive to me as you claimed."

"Had you really kept a close eye on me, you would have known."

"Known that I possess such abilities."

Saying this, Reiger pointed his extended fingers toward Lani.

"When I arrived, Yuri told me that her aunt, despite generally being a good person, is sometimes unscrupulous to achieve her goals."

"After all, she’s been mingling in various circles since childhood, always extracting information from others like a spy, so being a bit cunning is normal."

"She warned me to be careful of you, a warning that’s quite accurate indeed."

Lani almost cursed her niece to death in her mind.

Has having a man made you forget all the good your aunt once did for you?

Daring to speak of me like this—you little brat, you’ll suffer for this in the future!

As she thought this, Lani dared not slack off, quickly dodging out of her original position.

Her ability to use detection magic was extraordinary, thus she perceived what the "Giant Soldier" didn’t notice.

She could sense an astonishing force akin to magic power converging at Reiger’s fingertips.

It was an opposite force completely distinct from before...

"[Cyan]."

The blue light appeared, spinning on Reiger’s fingertips.

Reiger closed his fingers together, making a "pull" gesture towards his direction.

"Buzz!"

An inexplicable gravitational force acted on where Lani had previously stood, causing the ground to vaguely tremble.

Just when Lani thought she had evaded Reiger’s attack, she suddenly realized that an unseen force was pulling her, compelling her body to fly towards Reiger.

"...?!"

Sometime, Lani had already held a dagger in hand, using the gravitational pull to thrust savagely towards Reiger.

The dagger in her hand was no ordinary weapon but a secret treasure excavated from an ancient relic, of immense value.

This secret treasure’s power was very subtle but extremely dangerous.

Because, when thrust, it could strike the enemy even without directly connecting with the enemy’s body.

In short, the attack range was extended.

And, it extended silently, unseen by anyone.

With this secret treasure, Lani had defeated the strong with the weak several times, making it one of her trump cards.

"Slash!"

In the next moment, the person standing before Lani seemed to have been pierced by an invisible weapon, with blood spewing from the abdomen.

"Aaaaahhhh...!"

A scream echoed, and the person in front of Lani fell, halting her movement and ceasing the gravitational pull, and Lani widened her eyes.

The one who screamed and fell was not the boy Lani had imagined.

The old magician known as the "Giant Soldier" covered his bleeding abdomen, looked at Lani with disbelief.

"’Blaze Hime’! You..."

His demeanor was as if he had been betrayed.

"How could this be...?!"

Lani’s hand, which gripped the dagger, trembled slightly.

Then, from high above her behind, the boy’s voice came slowly.

"Don’t be surprised. It was merely a swap of positions between me and him, nothing too incomprehensible."

Reiger slowly walked down the platform, a transparent glint flashing in his eyes.

"A nice secret treasure. Even I couldn’t detect the attack’s trajectory, but your intent to attack with a dagger from a distance was too evident."

"Moreover, your attack speed wasn’t faster than my finger snap."

"This method is called the ’[Injustice Game]’ spell technique. Isn’t it quite amusing?"

Lani wore a serious expression, watching Reiger like facing a formidable enemy.

She sadly realized that her usual cunning tricks had no effect before this young man.

"Attack him!"

The "Giant Soldier", lying in a pool of blood, let out a hysterical roar.

"Kill him!"

As his words fell, black shadows swiftly darted into the gem tower.

The magical automatons outside had finally arrived.
