Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1440 - 1013: The Empire’s Prepared Gift

During the days hiding in the Holy Sword Church Library, Reiger had roughly understood the power system and power levels of this world.

Because of this, when he heard Melo mention Tactical Level Magic and Strategy-level Magic, Reiger wasn’t surprised.

That’s because the power system and power levels of this world are very much shared with the Akasha continent.

For instance, Magic is divided into Combat Level Magic, Tactical Level Magic, and Strategy-level Magic. This is the same as the Akasha continent.

However, unlike the Akasha continent where there are Tactical Level Magicians and Strategy-level Magicians, this world does not categorize people based on the level of magic they can use, but instead categorizes them purely by their strength.

In other words, if a Strategy-level Magician from the Akasha continent, who even possesses Strategy-level Magic capable of destroying a large metropolis, lacks sufficient strength in combat, he would find his status here inferior even to the weakest Knight.

People in this world don’t place such extreme importance on the military role of Strategy-level Magic like those on the Akasha continent do, nor do they grant someone who can use Strategy-level Magic extremely high status for this reason alone; instead, they view such individuals as special talents to be recruited or cultivated.

If those individuals lack strength, then in the eyes of various national powers, they would just be considered a mobile humanoid nuclear bomb without any additional treatment.

In this world, strength is the foundation of everything.

Meanwhile, there isn’t a concept of Swordsmen or Magicians here.

Because this world doesn’t have such a thing as sword skills.

Although Naisa once said that, compared to Source World’s past many powerful life races, humans are actually a rather fragile and powerless group, that is only in comparison to those legendary races.

If compared with the humans of the Akasha continent, then the humans of this world are much stronger.

It’s unclear whether because humans of this world are inherently special, or because since very long ago they had interactions with other life races, learning even intermarrying and reproducing, humans in Source World are born generally possessing considerable Magic Power.

They don’t need like the humans on the Akasha continent, who upon failing to become Magicians, would train sword skills diligently, using their inner Magic Power to hone their bodies, as people in this world instinctively use Magic Power to hone their physique, only efficiency varies.

Thanks to this, humans in this world similarly won’t see using Magic as a demonstration of noble status like those on the Akasha continent do; whether honing one’s body using personal Magic Power to enhance close combat capability or learning Magic to increase attack diversity, there’s no subjective difference between the two.

Also, because this is something everyone can do, there are no sword skills in this world, nor is there any saying of Swordsman or Magician, almost everyone is a Transcendent.

Perhaps ordinary citizens don’t have the opportunity to learn Magic, nor have the conditions to study Magic, but their physical aptitude still surpasses average human beings.

If ordinary citizens are born with extraordinary Magic Power, then their physical abilities naturally develop to a higher level; if they are motivated to exercise or train, the speed and extent of that enhancement could greatly increase.

In other words, in Source World, whether strong individuals can emerge depends also on talent and flair, but as long as one is willing to try hard and has sufficient conditions to study and train, everyone has the chance to become strong.

On the Akasha continent, Reiger, due to his dual cultivation of sword skills and Magic often astounds the world, yet in this world proficient in close combat and Magic, such people are abundant; people also won’t just use swords as there are those wielding knives, spears, staffs, halberds, etc., everything one could wish for.

It’s imaginable how strong humans in this world are.

"Magic, this supernatural force, most likely wasn’t developed by humans in this world, they most likely learned it from those powerful life races of the past."

"The Reinnaier family certainly brought the magic knowledge and magic guidance technologies of this world to the Akasha continent, but the sword skills system, ought to be that the Reinnaier family researched this world’s human physique or bloodline, for those lacking Magic Power, unable to learn magic to become stronger, eventually developing a system."

"Humans in this world don’t need such a power system; they’re born with Magic Power higher than the Akasha continent people, if they have the chance to learn Magic they would certainly succeed within the range permitted by magic affinity, even without learning Magic, they could through self-training effectively enhance their physique and close combat capabilities."

"Under such circumstances, there would certainly be many strong individuals in this world, even in the ancient magic civilizations on the Akasha continent, the number of strong individuals would still be far lesser than this world."

Revered as top-tier combat force on the Akasha continent, Sword Saints, even in Source World, while not so many as to be countless, certainly aren’t so rare as on the Akasha continent, where even among the four major countries, such individuals are only single-digit.

Just like Archbishop Luan and Archbishop Andre, in Reiger’s estimation, each of them is much stronger than the Sword Saint comparable Master Nipede. Yet such Archbishops, in the Holy Sword Church, every city branch has at least one or two stationed, let alone the headquarters where fewer than dozens would be considered unusual as a base highly comparable to empires.

Moreover, above Archbishop, supposedly there are even stronger Archbishops.

The "Saint" Melo just mentioned refers to a person ranked as Archbishop, such individuals belong to top-tier combat force even in Source World.

Additionally, Melo and Naisa, these two girls probably aren’t even 20 years old, but according to Reiger’s estimation, they are probably even stronger than Charity who became a Sword Saint at 22.

Thus, it’s apparent just how strong humans in this world are.

However, such humans are still deemed inferior to those once mighty and extinct life races as spoken by Naisa.

And about the Abyss?

It can cause those races to become extinct!

Just the thought of such an Abyss fills Reiger with passionate excitement.

He desires to encounter this so-called Abyss.

Suppressing this slightly excited emotion, Reiger pointed to the surroundings of the super-large floating magic-guided battleship, Sphinx.

"What’s all that about?"

Reiger saw, surrounding the floating magic-guided battleship, a group of fully armored knights pulling along large magical creatures, either feeding them or giving them orders.

These magical creatures, without exception, were all of the flying type.

There were griffins, eagles, pegasi, unicorns, and even drakes and wyverns, types of dragon kin.

"That’s the Empire’s Sky Division."

It wasn’t Melo who explained to Reiger, but Naisa.

"Careadohart has four special knight orders, each incorporating many powerful knights of rank, and each order having unique duties."

"The Sky Division is the only one among the Empire’s four knight orders with high-altitude combat capability, and the people in it generally rear flying magical creatures."

"The only requirement to join this knight order is to have high-altitude combat ability."

Flying magic—this world isn’t without it, but unfortunately, not everyone can learn it.

Treasures of flight—this world isn’t without those either, but likewise, not everyone can possess them.

As such, if one wishes to have high-altitude combat ability, taming flying magical creatures naturally becomes the most effective method.

The Sky Division is a knight order that uses tamed flying magical creatures as military weapons.

Each member possesses a flying magical creature, acting as a sky rider who can traverse the battlefield at will and dominate the skies.

"This voyage, the Sky Division will also accompany us, guarding the perimeter around the magic-guided battleship," Melo said with a light smile to Reiger. "So, you can rest assured. At the very least, safety during the voyage is absolutely guaranteed."

With the floating magic-guided battleship and multiple layers of security, Melo didn’t believe anything could happen to Reiger.

"By the way, there are also two knight captains in the Sky Division accompanying us on this voyage."

Melo’s words prompted Bishop Luan and Bishop Andre to exchange glances.

The knight captains of the Empire’s four knight orders were individuals not inferior to their level, bishop-level figures.

Naisa felt a pang of regret once again.

Had she known the Empire’s presence was so grand, she would have invited an archbishop.

"Thank your father for me."

Reiger could feel the Empire’s attentiveness towards him, let out a chuckle, and eventually said this to Melo.

"It’s what we should do."

Melo’s smile became even brighter, making her exquisite features even more dazzling.

"Father has prepared a gift for you, right on the floating magic-guided battleship."

At this moment, Melo’s smile took on a somewhat meaningful demeanor.

"I’ll personally bring it to you later. I’m sure you’ll like it."

At this moment, Melo’s smile caused Naisa to furrow her brow.

She intuitively felt that the smile of this princess was somewhat improper.

"What has His Majesty sent?"

Naisa suddenly felt an inexplicable unease.

Her intuition told her that it was probably not something good.

But would the Empire really send something bad to the current savior?

Naisa didn’t think so.

The conflicting thoughts made Naisa’s frown deepen.

In contrast, Reiger didn’t mind it, merely nodding his head.

"I’ll look forward to it."
