Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1400 - 987: He Will Definitely Come Looking for Me Again

The scene of Reiger effortlessly taking down Kashimo Hajime struck a blow to many who had never seen him in action.

The Angel and Kurusu Hana were naturally unsurprised, but even Tsukumo Yuki gave Reiger a deep glance, finally gaining a full understanding of the rumored special-grade Curse Involvement’s strength.

As for Hakari Kinji, his gaze at Reiger was practically like looking at a monster.

Among those present, Hakari Kinji undoubtedly had the best understanding of Kashimo Hajime’s strength.

For when everyone decided to participate in the Destruction Revisit to find Knot, Hakari Kinji entered the second Tokyo Barrier where Kashimo Hajime was located.

In the second Tokyo Barrier, Hakari Kinji encountered the strongest there, Kashimo Hajime, and fought with him.

Ultimately, Hakari Kinji won, but only because Kashimo Hajime did not use his technique against him.

In other words, Kashimo Hajime killed a large number of Poets with only his curse power, acquiring over 200 game points.

Even though he encountered Hakari Kinji, who, in Gojo Satoru’s estimation, could match himself in the future, and was highly regarded by Okkotsu Yuta, who thought he could even win against him when in good condition, Kashimo Hajime never used his technique.

The final result was that Hakari Kinji won, but in that duel, Hakari Kinji not only used his technique, he also deployed his domain expansion, and in the end, even sacrificed an arm to arduously defeat the technique-less Kashimo Hajime.

From this, it was clear that Reiger’s prior perception was indeed accurate, estimating that Kashimo Hajime was the strongest Poet in the Destruction Revisit, surpassing even the strong figures of the Xiantai Barrier like Urori Hengeko, Stone Flow Dragon, and Druf. Not even Knot and Okkotsu Yuta, those on similar planes, could defeat him.

Yet, a character like this was taken down by Reiger in one confrontation, and no one present even saw how Reiger accomplished it. How could those seeing him for the first time not be shocked?

Even Okkotsu Yuta, Zenin Maki, and others gave Reiger peculiar looks, revealing that while they knew Reiger was powerful, they were still amazed by these inexplicable methods.

The combo of [Time Stop] + [Energy Absorption] is indeed cheating, so much so that Reiger only needs this move to easily crush any opponent who can’t resist the power of time magic.

Even if this opponent is stronger, this would likely be their fate.

However, since his level has been rising, Reiger’s usage of time magic has been significantly decreasing.

Because, at his current level, he no longer needs to simply defeat enemies to gain their experience points, but instead, he needs to showcase all aspects of his abilities, seizing every opportunity to enhance each capability.

Whether it is the "Strength" and "Durability" Reiger is not good at or the "Dexterity" and "Agility" he excels in, including "Magic Power" and various development abilities, wanting to progress and increase proficiency, it is essential to use them regularly.

Only frequent practice and use can quickly elevate the proficiency of each ability, enhancing growth efficiency.

Defeating an enemy in one encounter may yield experience points, but it affects the increase of proficiency in every ability, making it less efficient.

Realizing this, Reiger consciously reduced the use of overpowered abilities like time magic whenever unnecessary.

He’s not a pure killing machine.

Even if he likes thrills and adventures, his ultimate goal is singular: to find ways to become stronger.

To this end, whatever he does, he’ll first consider whether his actions are beneficial to growth.

If not advantageous, he will naturally control it.

Thus, after coming to the Jujutsu World, aside from using the combo of [Time Stop] + [True Death] once in battle with [Demonic Void], he hardly used time magic again.

The strength of Kashimo Hajime was quite impressive; normally, he wouldn’t mind sparring with him.

But now, he truly wasn’t in the mood.

At present, Reiger shared his experiences with those present.

Regarding Knot’s true identity, it was no longer a secret.

After all, characters like Kashimo Hajime and Angel were once contacts of Knot and had made contracts with him. Since everyone accepted them, letting them join the small group, they had naturally informed everyone of Knot’s existence, making them aware that the Geto Suguru seen by the world was a disguise, and the actual entity was an old monster living for over a thousand years.

However, the real purpose of Knot and Ryomensukuna’s possession and resurrection in Fushiguro Megumi was still unknown to everyone.

Thus, when Reiger disclosed these matters, everyone immediately changed their expressions.

"Curse power optimization..."

Tsukumo Yuki spoke with a frown.

"To think Knot actually planned such things."

Okkotsu Yuta and Zenin Maki’s expressions also became serious.

"Could he really achieve something like fusing all humanity with Lord Tengen?"

"What benefit would he gain from that?"
