Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1388 - 981: As If Transformed Into Hell (Part 2)

Chapter 1388: Chapter 981: As If Transformed Into Hell (Part 2)

Large expanses of ice and snow appeared without any warning, transforming the vicinity into a frozen wasteland.

The ground froze, the surrounding ruined buildings froze, and even the space around Reiger froze, as if an ice mountain had risen, instantly turning the area into a block of ice.

This is Li Mei’s spell—[Ice Condensation Curse].

"[Frost Blow]!"

Li Mei blew a mass of freezing air toward Reiger.

However, Knot, held in Li Mei’s hand, suddenly shouted.

"Watch out!"

Just as Knot’s shout rang out, an explosion-like roar occurred.

"Boom!"

Flames erupted from Reiger’s body as if a volcano exploded, instantly melting the incoming freezing air and the surrounding ice mountain.

The moment the flames burst out, the heat formed by the high temperature swept out like a red storm, brushing past Sukuna, who stood motionless, and struck Li Mei.

"Bang!"

Unprepared, Li Mei was easily blown away as if hit by an explosive hot wind, crashing into an ice mountain.

The ice mountain immediately collapsed and shattered, causing blood to seep from the corner of Li Mei’s mouth.

"You...?!"

Li Mei’s gaze toward Reiger changed.

Reiger didn’t even glance at Li Mei, his attention was still fixed on Sukuna.

"Where’s Itadori?"

He merely asked casually.

"Who knows?" Sukuna, seemingly ignoring his subordinate’s miserable situation, stood calmly and smiled, "Maybe when I feel like it, I’ll go fish him out."

"...Is that so?"

"Why? Are you very concerned about that kid?"

"I’m quite concerned about the kid whose body you’ve taken over too."

"You’re certainly passionate, do you have a good relationship with these brats?"

"At least better than you, I suppose?"

"That’s right."

This time, it was Reiger and Sukuna’s turn to converse as if no one else was around.

One expressionless.

One smiling.

But between them, a dense, tense atmosphere of impending confrontation had already emerged.

"Lastly, let me ask you one more question." Sukuna squinted his eyes and said, "What’s your relationship with Reiger Brillhaut?"

Reiger didn’t respond to the question.

He simply lowered the sword in his hand naturally and raised his empty hand, gesturing provocatively at Ryomensukuna.

Seeing this, Sukuna smiled.

"Boom!"

Almost in the next second, a powerful slash abruptly struck the spot where Reiger stood, slicing the ground there.

The bisected ground burst with a rumbling sound, creating a slash mark nearly ten meters long, resembling a ravine.

However, Reiger was no longer at that location.

He had transformed into a blaze, flashing instantly to Sukuna, appearing in front of him, and slashing down.

"Boom!"

Another explosion sounded, flames bursting like an explosion.

The slash by Reiger destroyed the terrain, sending the earth flying.

"[Release]!"

Sukuna emerged unscathed, revealing a sinister smile toward Reiger, while releasing multiple slashes.

The range and power of the slashes were astonishing, far surpassing those during the last time in Shibuya.

"Has he already regained his peak power?"

A thought flashed through Reiger’s mind, while a transparent sheen appeared in his eyes.

For ordinary people, the invisible slashes are imperceptible, but Reiger can easily discern their trajectory using his transparent world.

Suddenly, his figure flickered, like a wavering mirage, leaving behind a phantom indistinguishable from an illusion, allowing it to be sliced into pieces.

"Swish!"

Amidst the faint sound of air being cut open, Reiger reappeared behind Sukuna, facing away from him, and slashed out without hesitation.

"Clang!"

In the next moment, the sound of steel clashing echoed, causing sparks to fly.

Sukuna, having turned around at some unknown time, released a slash towards Reiger behind him, using a slash to meet Reiger’s slash, causing the two slashes to collide.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

After the slash, there was yet another slash, and Sukuna, as if toying with a clown trapped in the palm of his hand, released one slash after another with a smile.

He is enjoying it.

He is delighted.

He is feeling the sensation of truly awakening, constantly adapting to the new vessel, awakening the power that once belonged to him.

No, it’s not just his own power.

"Let you be the first audience to witness this."

After releasing the slash, Sukuna unbelievably formed a shadow hand gesture.

"[Jade Dogs]."

In an instant, the shadow beneath Sukuna’s feet moved.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Accompanied by two barks, two Inugami, one black and one white, emerged from Sukuna’s shadow.

Undoubtedly, this is the generational inherited technique of the Zenin Family, engraved on Fushiguro Megumi’s body – [Ten Shadow Techniques].

Sukuna seized Fushiguro Megumi’s body and, as expected, used Fushiguro Megumi’s technique.

However, unlike the [Jade Dogs] summoned by Fushiguro Megumi, Sukuna’s [Jade Dogs] are enormous in size, comparable to those of Reiger’s.

The two massive Inugami, taller than an adult’s height, barked furiously, charging at Reiger from the left and right.

"Sun Breathing·Third Form·Fierce Sun Red Mirror."

Reiger first swung his sword to deflect the slash that Sukuna had previously released at him, then raised the Oni Cutter high, lifting it over his shoulder, with the blade spewing fiery tongues, entwining flames, drawing an "∞" pattern, unleashing sharp symmetrically slashes to both sides.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Like a sudden sunrise, the diagonal slashes landed almost simultaneously on the bodies of the two massive Inugami before they could bite into Reiger, slicing through them.

Although the Inugami of the [Ten Shadow Techniques] are stronger than ordinary Inugami, once damaged, they can never recover.

Though feeling a bit sorry for Fushiguro Megumi, Reiger showed no mercy, slicing the [Jade Dogs] in half with one stroke each, intending to permanently destroy them.

To Reiger’s surprise, even though they were sliced in half, the two [Jade Dogs] did not disappear; instead, they resembled shadow-like entities, with the severed waist emitting shadow, connecting the upper and lower halves.

"Deliberately maintaining the [Jade Dogs] in an unstable state of summoning to avoid damage?"

Reiger saw through the trick in an instant.

"[Nué]."

At this moment, Sukuna’s sinister laughter echoed once again.

This time, he summoned the Inugami Eagle, calling out the [Nué] flashing with lightning all over.

What was shocking was that the [Nué] summoned by Sukuna was not only larger than Fushiguro Megumi’s [Nué], but also larger than Reiger’s [Nué].

The wingspan was close to ten meters, resembling a monster, as the [Nué] appeared in the sky over the shattered plaza, waving its wings and releasing countless bolts of thick lightning downward.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!"

At that instant, it’s like the wrath of a thunder god; all the survivors within the Xiantai Barrier saw the dense bolts of lightning descending like torrential rain, continuously striking the ground below.

The power was comparable to real natural lightning, striking one after another, shattering the ground, crushing everything, causing countless debris to fly out, further stirring up a thick dust storm.

Countless people watched this scene in horror, their inner fear awakened.

Even the leading poets, like Ishiryu Ryu and Ujoro Henko, who had dominated the entire Xiantai Barrier earlier, looked at this apocalyptic scene in astonishment, their hearts trembling.

"What a magnificent sight!"

Sukuna stood atop the [Nué], gazing down at the ground tormented by countless lightning bolts, laughing with his hand on his forehead.

The Curse King’s malice was unleashed without reservation, transforming this world into a semblance of hell.
